Insomniac Games’ Spider-Man is swinging its way to PS4 sometime next year. Bringing with it all of the web-slinging, goon-fighting action that fans have come to know and love from the superhero, from what we’ve seen so far the game is shaping up to rectify some of the missteps of recent Spider-Man titles. Of course, with many games that release on the PS4 also coming to the PC, some fans may be wondering if they’ll be able to swing their way through New York City on their gaming rigs.

Unfortunately for PC players, it doesn’t look like they’ll be able to play the upcoming title on their PCs anytime soon. While the game isn’t tagged as an “Only on PlayStation” title over on the game’s official page, Insomniac’s console exclusives, whether they’re for Xbox One or PS4, don’t tend to hit the platform. For example, Sunset Overdrives and last year’s Ratchet and Clank titles both stayed solely on their respective console platforms.

As such, if you’re looking to play Insomniac’s superhero title, you’ll probably want to look into picking up Sony’s home console. Spider-Man currently has a vague 2018 release date, but here’s hoping that’ll get narrowed down sometime soon.

Swedes are on a roller coaster ride it seems. GODSENT, the closest fnatic counterpart has undergone a change in their roster. GODSENT welcomes Dennis in their active roster and pyth as a stand-in for ESL Pro League. The moves comes in after FaZe announced their new lineup with Olof earlier today.

Joining the new roster dennis stated: It’s been nearly 2 years since I joined fnatic for an incredible journey. However all things come to an end, and I am looking forward to rejoining two of my most recent team mates, Twist and Doplan. We went to the Eleague Major semi finals back in January this year and with the potential on this roster we will aim for that – and more! I look very much forward to working with the GODSENT team!

GODSENT’s roster now looks like;

• Simon “twist” Eliasson
• Joakim “disco doplan” Gidetun
• Andreas “znajder” Lindberg
• Dennis “dennis” Edman
• Markus “pronax” Wallsten – Substitute
• Jacob “pyth” Mourujärvi (EPL only) – Substitute

The most unfortunate of all pronax, who led Fnatic extraordinarily in 2014-2015 where they won 6 back to back events. Pronax expressed his disappointment with himself in his official statement:

“Being a part of GODSENT since it’s creation has been a roller coaster of emotions, with the hardships of being a “startup” – to then later join the ranks of RFRSH, and then the shuffles back & forth with fnatic. Co-founding GODSENT is the most ambitious project i have taken on so far, and definitely the hardest one. I have grown immensely as a person, for that I’m grateful.

Poor performance and continuous struggles to find common ground within the team made it evident for all of us that a change had to happen. Unfortunately for me, it means that I am put on the sideline. I have not played with a group of players that I have clicked this well with ever since my 1.6 days and needless to say, I would have loved to be a part of the active roster for the upcoming season, but I do respect the decision the team has made.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to RFRSH who has been a blast to work with, also the current & past staff/players of GODSENT, especially the people that was/has been around from the beginning, without you GODSENT would not be reality!”

Tonight during Valve’s yearly Dota 2 tournament, a surprise segment introduced what could be the best new player in the world — a bot from Elon Musk-backed startup OpenAI. Engineers from the nonprofit say the bot learned enough to beat Dota 2 pros in just two weeks of real-time learning, though in that training period they say it amassed “lifetimes” of experience, likely using a neural network judging by the company’s prior efforts. Musk is hailing the achievement as the first time artificial intelligence has been able to beat pros in competitive e-sports.

Dota 2 pro Danylo “Dendi” Ishutin get crushed in a live 1-vs-1 match with the bot. Some of the bot’s maneuvers looked eerily human. After being defeated by the bot twice, Dendi forfeited future matches with it, and expressed surprise that a bot could outplay a human. He said the bot “feels a little like [a] human, but a little like something else.”

Dota 2 is an astoundingly complex game in which two teams of 5 players compete to siege and destroy the opposing team’s base. The game features 113 playable heroes who each possess unique abilities, as well as dozens of items that can enhance and extend each hero’s capabilities — meaning the full extent of the game’s possibilities are virtually incomprehensible, at least to a player with human limitations.

OpenAI first ever to defeat world's best players in competitive eSports. Vastly more complex than traditional board games like chess & Go.

Elon Musk founded OpenAI as a nonprofit venture to prevent AI from destroying the world — something Musk has been beating the drum about for years. Just last month he told a group of US governors that AI represents a “fundamental risk to the existence of civilization.” Others, like Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, have been less than impressed by Musk’s killer robot doomsaying.
