Crash Bandicoot made his return to the console industry with the remake/compilation “Crash Bandicoot: N.Sane Trilogy”. And it has been doing extremely well considering the early criticisms of it, just to celebrate this succesful launch. Spanish console modder MakoMod has made a very special custom PlayStation 4 based on the games of everyone’s favorite marsupial.
The console itself is a giant model pyramid with a spinning Aku Aku figurine in the middle. behind said figurine there is a portal like the ones Crash enters in the second installment Cortex Strikes back. Dubbed the “Temple Mod” by the creator, this is one of the most well crafted and creatively made console mods I have seen. The level of detail is impressive and for added effect, even the controller is modded!
The Crash modder’s background.
The person responsible for these works resides in Spain, he is also responsible for creations like a The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild themed Nintendo Switch mod, which also looks incredible on its own. He also has made a few more projects under request and a lot of his designs have been featured in multiple magazines.

However, almost none of these are up for sale despite the creator being asked multiple times by various gamers to do so. And its understandable because the resources used for these creations must be expensive as well, and the amount of labor needed to be put into one of these also has to be really time consuming and innefficient. The Crash Bandicoot PS4 will be raffled by PlayStation Spain, it comes with an official video which you can take a look at here!

Personally, I would like to see even more creations like these with themes like Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Dissidia NT, the creator Mako Mod definitely deserves a lot of praise for the amount of creativity, time and resources he spends on his modding work. It’s simply delightful and respectable
PS4 sales in the UK climbed by a shocking 633 percent year-over-year in 2023, so apparently the old system isn’t dead yet. The previous year’s very limited supply of the system is likely a major factor in this figure, since the console’s lifespan was drastically reduced because of chip shortages caused by the pandemic. Still, it’s proof that PlayStation’s original platform has unmet demand.
With the very low prices of PS4 software (both in-store and online at the PS Store), this strategy makes a lot of sense. Plus, it’s future-proof, so there’s no harm in stocking up on PS4s while new-gen pricing is still high, since if you decide to switch to a PS5 in the future, you can transfer all of your purchases across. Not to mention that the majority of new releases still come out on the PS4, with several offering free PS5 upgrades.
While the percentage rise may seem huge, real PS4 sales will probably be much lower. It’s a sign that the gadget, which is now a decade old, isn’t completely dead yet, and we expect it to keep receiving maintenance for a while longer. Of course, this is great news for Sony, because the company would rather have PS4 players playing on its last-gen gadget than none at all, even if it would love to have them upgrade to PS5.
A PS5 firmware update on a cold winter morning is unmatched. The latest PS5 system software update is 23.02–08.40.00 from Sony. Does this one add useful features or just boost system performance?
Though closer to the latter, it’s more than Sony’s favorite patch note. It fixes security issues, improves messages and usability, and boosts system software performance. Official patch notes for this 1.185GB update:
- We updated system software security
- We improved system software stability and performance
- Some screens now have better messages and usability
That’s it. PS5 gets another win to recover from its midweek slump. Do you share our enthusiasm for this firmware update? Comment below. To spice things up, make your comment rhyme.
Belgian developer Larian Studios’ work on Baldur’s Gate 3’s Xbox Series S version will improve performance on all platforms, including PS5. The game’s fifth major patch, expected to launch this week, will include upgrades and new features. More details will be revealed later today.
Director of Publishing Michael Douse says PS5 performance improvements may be the “least exciting thing” in the title’s next update, so it sounds like a big one. Larian Studios employees are proud of “finally” implementing tweaks, fixes, and changes, Douse says. Later today, we’ll bring you all the Baldur’s Gate 3 update details.
Those who reached the RPG’s third act have reported technical issues during the narrative’s conclusion, especially in co-op, so today’s update should fix them. New features like a permadeath mode are expected, along with Xbox Series S optimization fixes. What else should be added to the game?
