Nour: Play With Your Food & Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 Heading to PS5, Trailers
Following yesterday's Godfall Hinterclaw PS5 Teaser comes trailers for two more upcoming PlayStation 5 video games, namely Nour: Play With Your Food which is a delicious interactive exploration into the aesthetics of food and drink by indie studio Terrifying Jellyfish and the perfect puzzle match of two video game legends in Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 Ultimate Puzzle Match by Sega of America.
Check out them both below, and be sure to drop by the PS5 Forum to let us know what you think of each in the comments.
To quote from Founder Tj Hughes on Nour: Play With Your Food:
Nour — as in nourish — refuses to adhere to traditional goals or objectives; you’re free to play with your food however you see fit, whether that be making a mess, or assembling the bowl of ramen of your dreams!
Relive those childhood memories of fiddling with your food, without the all-too-real mess to clean up afterwards.
Once you’ve created your in-game masterpiece, you can enter photo mode, and live out the food blogger’s dream, taking pictures and video of your dish for the scathing eyes of social media to judge!
Nour: Play With Your Food - PS5 Reveal
And from Senior PR Manager Jacob Nahin on Puyo Puyo Tetris 2:
Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 comes to PlayStation 4 on December 8, and PlayStation 5 during Holiday 2020!
Players will experience a brand-new delightful story filled with an eclectic cast of characters in Adventure mode and develop new strategies for play utilizing special item cards in Skill Battle.
This thrilling new adventure continues the legacies of these two iconic titles: Puyo Puyo, one of Japan’s biggest and most enduring puzzle games, and Tetris, one of the most well-known video game franchises in the world.
By incorporating core elements of both, we landed on a combination that we think is as fantastic as peanut butter and chocolate!

PS4 System Software / Firmware 7.55 is Now Live, Don't Update!
Since their previous revision and the 8.00 PS4 Beta, today Sony pushed live the latest 'system performance' update in PS4 System Software / Firmware 7.55 which many suspect fixes one of the recently reported vulnerabilities in the PlayStation Bug Bounty Program. 
If this is the case, here's to hoping whoever cashed in on it will follow in the footsteps of theflow0 and after getting $ony's approval (disclosure log) publicly release the exploit that lead to the last PS4 Jailbreak so that scene developers can further examine the latest findings.
As always DON'T UPDATE if you wish to use PS4 game backups and homebrew apps whenever a new PS4 jailbreak exploit arrives, and we'll add any related Tweets below as PlayStation 4 scene developers have a chance to examine it.

PS4 Scene Group DUPLEX Removes Mandatory Online & Title Update Requirements!
Reminiscent of the KALiSTO and PARADOX old skool scene days when talent beyond simply dumping / ripping video games was required, over the weekend PlayStation 4 scene release group DUPLEX raised the bar a notch by doing just that... and removing the mandatory online and title update requirements on their latest PS4 scene release! 
For further details on the release notes see the SPOILER below, and in summary they included the 1.01 Update and six DLC PKG's to play ALL the game modes including single player and multiplayer (even in LAN and / or against bots) bypassing the online requirements for those using PS4HEN with the 6.72 Exploit Menu / Al Azif's DNS on a Jailbroken 6.72 PS4 console!
Since proving it can now be done, here's to hoping as the PS4 scene progresses this becomes standard on other PlayStation 4 game releases with an end-user guide on what to modify and / or how to get it working using an original disc (saves downloading 121.78 GB in this case) to bypass the PSN online check requirements.
