Poll What Was Your Favourite Game from State of Play?
Does it begin with Astro and end in Bot?
Okay, let's just push the negativity aside for a minute and actually consider the things that we enjoyed in the latest State of Play broadcast. After all, packing 14 different games into a 30-minute event isn't especially easy, and there was an impressive amount of variety on offer. Surely there was something...
News Classic PS1 Platformer Tomba! Arrives on PS5 in August
Pigs will fly
Announced almost a whole year ago, PS1 platformer Tomba! is being revived as Tomba Special Edition — and now it's got a confirmed release date. It arrives for PS5 on the 1st August, with a promised PS4 version coming later. The original game launched way back in 1997, and is fondly remembered to this day. It may not have had the...
News Latest State of Play Is One of the Worst-Received PS5 Shows Yet
Astro Bot aside
The online reaction to Sony's latest State of Play broadcast has been fairly negative. The half-hour event featured 14 PS5 and PSVR2 titles, but outside of the wonderful-looking Astro Bot, the show struggled to wow its audience — especially off the back of heightened expectations surrounding a supposed 'PlayStation Showcase'. This...

News Dynasty Warriors: Origins Makes the Most of PS5 Hardware with Truly Massive Battles
"As far as the eye can see"
A surprise announcement during the latest State of Play, we're hoping that Dynasty Warriors: Origins will be a return to form for Koei Tecmo's hack and slash series. While not a traditional Dynasty Warriors experience in that you'll be playing as a "nameless hero" who's thrown into the Three Kingdoms chaos, this is...
News Big New PS5, PC Shooter Concord Has an Uphill Battle Ahead of It
Fan reaction has been mixed to say the least
Sony has bet big on first-person shooter Concord, the debut project from a group of esteemed Destiny veterans. PlayStation acquired the studio early in the outing’s development, after signing on as a publisher; since then, it’s given the title an enormous budget, and awarded the title prime time...

News Dragon's Dogma 2 Patch 1.150 Drops as Players Still Wait for Better PS5 Performance
Not this time
Yet another update has arrived for Dragon's Dogma 2, bringing more positive adjustments to the open world RPG. However, there's still no sign of further improvements to the game's technical performance on PS5, which is already rubbing some players the wrong way. To be fair, patch 1.150 does include a nice boost to storage space, and a...
News Viral Hit Horror Series Garten of Banban Is Now Available on PS5, PS4
Child's play
There are certain indie horror games that just skyrocket in popularity on PC, in part thanks to YouTubers and streamers hopping aboard the bandwagon.

Earworms ahoy

News Astro Bot Raises the Bar for Sony's PS Studios Intros on PS5
Everyone's here
The logo blast at the start of every game's boot phase has become so homogenous that you're generally better off just scrolling through Twitter for a few seconds before reaching the main menu. Sony tried to inject some personality into each of its first-party titles by personalising the PS Studios logo drop with the characters from...
Reaction PS5 Livestreams Are No Longer Speaking to the Fans Who Built the Brand
Tough times
It’s been eight years since Sony’s outstanding E3 2016 press conference, where it hired a full-blown orchestra and introduced the rebooted God of War to the world. And it’s been nine years since arguably the greatest gaming livestream in history, where the holy trifecta of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Shenmue 3, and The Last Guardian...
News Monster Hunter Wilds, Astro Bot the Biggest PS5 Winners from State of Play
Justice
It’s always interesting to look at the most viewed trailers after a State of Play has aired, just to get a better idea of which titles resonated with fans. While this is far from a scientific experiment – especially when you consider we’re only taking into account views from the PlayStation channel roughly 12 hours after the event...
News PS5 Platformer Astro Bot Will Have 80 Action-Packed Levels
Across six unique galaxies
Ever since the original tech demo in The Playroom VR, fans have been waiting for a full-blown Astro Bot adventure. Astro Bot Rescue Mission, the outstanding PSVR outing, checked the box – but due to its virtual reality requirements, many missed out on the excellent Team ASOBI outing. Now, after the tantalising Astro’s...
News PS5, PC Fans Are Trying to Figure Out If Concord Is Free-to-Play
Doesn't look like it
Sony spent a lot of time building up hero shooter Concord during its recent State of Play, and it did a decent enough job. All we’d seen of the release previously was a greasy looking hamburger, so that it was able to establish its cast of Guardians of the Galaxy-esque wise-crackers within the span of a single CG trailer was...
