News Massive NBA 2K14 Patch to Shoot onto the PS4 in the Next Few Days
NB-YAY!
Do you remember the time long ago, when a shipped game didn't need constant patches to make it playable? Neither do we. On that note, a recent post on the 2K Blog has detailed a massive update for NBA 2K14 on the PlayStation 4. The patch, scheduled for release sometime over the next few days, will see a whole host of fixes to the game's...
News Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition Has a Silly Name
Oh, and it's releasing on the PS4 and Vita next year in Europe
Video games have historically had trouble in the naming department. Beyond: Two Souls and Stealth Inc: A Clone in the Dark are two particularly egregious examples from the past twelve months. But far and away the absolute worst name of recent memory has to go to Dynasty Warriors 8:...
News The Smithsonian Museum Has Added Flower to Its Permanent Collection
Where it belongs
There are few experiences as relaxing and moving as thatgamecompany's Flower. It tells an enchanting tale of the over-industrialisation of modern society while also providing one of the most compelling arguments for SIXAXIS controls. With that in mind, we're happy to report that the respite-sim will be joining first-person shooter...
News Sony Shipping Significant Quantities of PS4 Stock to Australia in February
Don't panic
Now that they've won the ashes, Australians can turn their attention to a much more pressing and important matter: where to purchase a PlayStation 4. We recently learned that the Japanese giant intends to keep store shelves stocked over the Christmas period, but if you haven't locked down a system yet, you probably won't be getting one...
News Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster Will Blitz onto Your Vita in March 2014
The final countdown
Details surrounding the PlayStation Vita version of Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster have been as nebulous and ever-changing as the very fabric of time. The remake was announced eons ago, and we essentially haven't heard a thing about it since. However, a recent post on the PlayStation Blog has revealed that, contrary to popular...
News Andrew House Is Feeling Pretty Great About the PlayStation 4's Launch
Who can blame him?
While he certainly doesn't have the relatable charm of Shuhei Yoshida or the brazen showmanship of Jack Tretton, Andrew House is slowly joining the newly evolved breed of recognizable and lovable Sony figureheads. Perhaps indulging in a few more blatant jabs at the opposition – like this
News This Killzone: Shadow Fall Commercial by Robot Chicken Is Cringeworthy
Helghastly
Long time readers may remember that decidedly strange advertisement for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale masterminded by Robot Chicken. If you don't recall, we really can't blame you – we've been trying to forget it, too. In any case, it seems that the Robot Chicken team is at it again, unleashing this equally stymieing...
News There Will Be a 'Limited' Supply of PS4 Stock at US GameStops This Weekend
Stop what you're doing
If you've not managed to nab a PlayStation 4 in North America yet, the prospect of getting one before Christmas is probably beginning to look pretty bleak. However, in what can only be described as a bonafide holiday miracle, major retailer GameStop has announced that it will have a "limited" supply of Sony's new machine in...
News This Korean Couple Are Braving the Cold to Be First in Line for a PS4
Now that's dedication
While we sit in the comfort of our homes playing Knack, it's easy to forget that the PlayStation 4 hasn't actually released worldwide yet. The next-gen system is launching in South Korea on 17th December, and at the time of writing, there are already two dedicated fans camping out to nab their very own black box. 33-year-old...
News Amazon UK Cracks the Code With Its Own Version of the PlayStation Store
It's a jungle out there

Snow way
Those of you that have played Rockstar's most recent satirical crime opus Grand Theft Auto V may recall that the opening heist was set in the perpetually snowy town of North Yankton.

News PS4 Firmware Update v1.52 Stabilises the Situation
Get excited
There's nothing quite like waking up to a good old fashioned firmware update, and, as usual, Sony has you covered. A post on the platform holder's official Twitter account confirms that update v1.52 will be arriving shortly, stating that it's designed to "improve system software stability". We don't yet know if there will be any juicy...
News 10 Per Cent of All Twitch Streams Since November Have Been from PS4
Stream and shout
Do you like arbitrary and potentially useless statistics? No? Well too bad, as a recent PlayStation Blog post has revealed a veritable treasure trove of bizarre PlayStation 4 facts, mostly pertaining to the console's robust social offerings. Truth be told, we think that after such an absurdly successful launch, Sony probably...
News Indie Survival Horror Kodoku Sneaks onto PS4 and Vita in 2015
Not a maths puzzle
The preponderance of indie games on Sony consoles is arguably one of the platform holder's greatest strengths. We all remember that impressive spread at E3, and now we have yet another title to add to the ever growing list. Kodoku is a survival horror game developed by fledgling studio
News You'll Soon Be Able to Link Three Portable Devices to Your PSN Account
Three's a crowd

During this time you'll still be able to play online and access apps, but the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Home, and Account Management services will be...
News Dying Light Looks Gory and Gorgeous in This PS4 Gameplay
Brainsss
This year's VGX Awards was, by most accounts, pretty atrocious. There were a few neat little game reveals, but for the most part, the show was full of Spike TV's signature brand of histrionic nonsense. One of the more interesting segments, however, was a liv
News Sucker Punch Clears the Smoke on inFAMOUS: Second Son's Morality System
Not the status Kuo
The morality system is undoubtedly the backbone of the inFAMOUS franchise, acting as a hub for both the story and the gameplay. Interestingly, a recent Official PlayStation Magazine interview with developer Sucker Punch has revealed that the series' newest entry may be seeing a few tweaks to the established formula. Don't expect...

News Sony's Studio Liverpool Rises from the Ashes as Firesprite
They Liverpool
The closure of Studio Liverpool, formerly Psygnosis, came as a nasty and sudden shock to the wider video game community. Spearheading the much loved WipEout and Colony Wars franchises, it was undoubtedly one of Sony's most beloved first-party developers. We've not heard a great deal from the defunct company's former staffers, and...
News The PS4's Share Button Has Been Pushed More Than 6.5 Million Times
Sharing is caring
The much-touted share button was initially one of the most contentious aspects of the DualShock 4's design. Some saw it as a needless gimmick, while others envisioned the potential for a veritable minefield of spoilers. Whatever your stance on the decidedly social addition, there's no doubt that it's growing in popularity. From...
News Wait, Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus for Vita Was Supposed to Release Yesterday
Lost to the Netherverse
In arguably the most inconspicuous release of the year, Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus arrived on the PlayStation 3 last month with almost non-existent fanfare. We thought that it was pretty good, awarding it an admirable 7/10, but found its short length put a bit of a damper on the whole affair. However, if you mi
News EA CEO Thinks the PS4 Will Face Some 'Fairly Stiff Competition'
EAsy does it
The PlayStation 4 has sold phenomenally well, this much we know – but recently appointed EA CEO Andrew Wilson isn't certain that the console's continued dominance is a sure thing. Speaking at the Credit Suisse 2013 Technology Conference, Wilson noted that the living room is flooded with competitors. "Our market is evolving at a very,...
News Japanese PS Vita TV Advert Brings the Whole Family Together
And saves television, too
The PS Vita TV has been out in the wild for a few weeks now, and its performance has been lacklustre to say the least. As if in answer, Sony has released a brand new commercial to try and pitch the diminutive streaming box to families. The advertisement traces one family's journey through the eyes of its small screen, and...
News Final Fantasy XIV Will Be Reborn on PS4 in April 2014
Finally
Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster may be getting a new delay every fifteen minutes, but that doesn't mean that there isn't any Square Enix goodness to be had on Sony consoles. Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn has been kicking and screaming on the PlayStation 3 for a few months, and now its PlayStation 4 release has finally been dated. You'll...
