There’s plenty of news to talk about today. Earlier, we got an in-depth look at Demon’s Souls‘ character creator, Sony showed us how to transfer PlayStation 4 files to PlayStation 5, a Silent Hill reboot is rumored to be announced at The Game Awards 2020, and more. Here’s the video game news you might’ve missed on Nov. 5, 2020.
Sony Showcased How to Transfer PS4 Files to PS5
Today, Sony showcased a number of OS features pertaining to PlayStation 5. It went through recommended settings, using your account, and how to transfer your PS4 files to the new PS5. Based on the video, it seems easy enough. The easiest method seems to be via Wi-Fi, though you can also speed up the process by connecting an ethernet from the PS4 to PS5. The apps and games will transfer in the background so you can still utilize your PS5 while the transfer process takes place. Check out the new OS videos below (courtesy of Nibel on Twitter).

Rumor Suggests a New Silent Hill Will Be Announced at The Game Awards
Following the unfortunate cancellation of Silent Hills in 2015, rumors surrounding a reboot of the series have popped up frequently throughout the years. The existence of a Silent Hill reboot for PlayStation 5 might be a real thing after all, and we may see it during The Game Awards 2020, according to business analyst Roberto Serrano. The Game Awards is hosted and created by Geoff Keighley, a man who is no stranger to Hideo Kojima. You’ll recall Kojima was in charge of the now cancelled Silent Hills, so it’s possible this is somehow the rebirth of that game — and what better way that to debut it during Keighley’s show? Of course, Kojima has no formal affiliation with Silent Hill IP owner Konami though, so this may be something else entirely, assuming it’s legitimate. We’ll find out on Dec. 10 during The Game Awards 2020.
