News Phew! PS4 Firmware Update 2.01 Will Fix Those Pesky Rest Mode Problems
Coming soon
In case you weren't paying attention, the PlayStation 4's recent massive firmware update has seen several users reporting a glitch which makes it impossible to turn the super system back on once it's been put into Rest Mode. Obviously, the Japanese giant probably wasn't too keen on people not being able to access their expensive new...
Feature Say Hello to Two of Sony's Aussie PS4 Indies
They come from the land down under
Sony loves indies. It’s a slogan which, for better or worse, has come to shape the Japanese giant’s business strategy in recent months. These smaller experiences have been used to plug holes in the inevitable first year software drought, while also seeing a mini-renaissance on PlayStation Plus’ Instant Game...
First Impressions What Does Dying Light Do to Resurrect the Zombie Apocalypse on PS4?
The freewheelin' mob killing
Dying Light finds itself in an odd position. With its last-gen version recently cancelled, and developer Techland touting a renewed focus on fluidity and polish, the parkour-‘em-up’s future feels slightly unclear. We recently went hands on with the title at PAX Australia, and – after being ushered
News Wait, Did Techland Just Cancel the PS3 Version of Dying Light?
Next-gen only
Dying Light developer Techland has announced that the parkour-'em-up will no longer be shambling onto the PlayStation 3. The studio stated that it wants to focus on making a game which truly encapsulates the 'next-gen feel', and cited the technical limitations of the older hardware as the main reason for the reversal. "Much of this...
Review Pix the Cat (PlayStation 4)
Feline fine
At first glance, Pix the Cat appears to be a relatively simple arcade experience. However, this unassuming exterior belies its innovative and addictive mechanics, as well its surfeit of surplus content. Make no mistake, this is an insanely infectious indie which absolutely deserves your attention. At its core, Pastagames’ latest is an...
News Primal Carnage: Extinction Will Be the PS4's First Dinosaur Battle Sim
Dinophwoar
What if Evolve had real dinosaurs instead of maniacal made-up monsters? It's a question that has plagued scientists and philosophers since the dawn of humankind, and one that indie developer Circle 5 Studios plans to tackle headfirst in its new human-vs dinosaur multiplayer shooter Primal Carnage: Extinction. The title, which is a...
News Blimey, The Last of Us Is Getting a Game of the Year Edition for PS3
Third time's the charm
That's right, Naughty Dog's seminal survival horror The Last of Us is now getting the official 'Game of the Year' treatment it so sorely deserves. This new version – which is currently only confirmed for Europe – includes the original game, plus all subsequent downloadable content, and will be launching on 11th November...
News The Walking Dead Won't Be Stumbling onto PS4 for Another Week in Europe
The walking delay
You may recall that a few weeks ago Telltale Games' popular The Walking Dead series was finally confirmed to be releasing on the PlayStation 4 after a seemingly endless string of rumours. Well, erm, if you live in Europe, and were planning on spending your weekend playing your way through the title, we've got some bad news. The...
News Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Will Hold a Hefty Hunk of Your PS4's Hard Drive Hostage
You'll need lots of Spacey
The PlayStation 4 may come packed with 500GB of internal storage, but if you're like us, and enjoy indulging in as many games as possible, this probably isn't enough room. Joining a recent cavalcade of absurdly large downloads, Call of Duty's latest annual outing will hold approximately 43GB of your PS4's hard drive space...
Review Pier Solar and the Great Architects (PlayStation 4)
Pierless
Pier Solar and the Great Architects (or Pier Solar HD) is an updated re-release of a game that launched on the Sega Mega Drive in 2010, and in truth, that tells you just about everything that you need to know. This unashamedly stodgy RPG trades in genre tropes with wild abandon, while brazenly attempting to tug at your nostalgia. And in...
News Rebel Galaxy Deploys Dastardly Intergalactic Dogfights on PS4 in 2015
The final frontier
2015 is shaping up to be the year of the space sim, with the recent announcement of Rebel Galaxy signalling the newest entry in the soon-to-be-pervasive genre. This seriously stylish title - created by a handful of the devs behind the Torchlight games - is purportedly going to flip the genre on its head by speeding up its...
News Sony's Smallest Console Will Soon Support Four Player Remote Play
Four the players
Sony's always been quite liberal with its firmware updates, but the Japanese giant seems to have lost the plot recently. Fresh off the back of a PlayStation Vita patch, as well as a truckload of news about the PlayStation 4's incoming expansion, the firm has just announced a totally new update for the PlayStation TV. The patch will...
News Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor is Getting a Fancy New Photo Mode
Precious pictures
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor has been this month's sleeper hit, and the title just keeps getting better. Indeed, it recently received a patch which included a brand new photo mode - similar to the one's found in inFAMOUS: Second Son, and The Last of Us: Remastered - allowing you to take happy snaps of its haunting and gorg
News No Fair! Japan's Getting The Unfinished Swan on PS4 and Vita Next Week
Still not finished, apparently
You may recall a rumour that was floating about the internet late last year which suggested that PlayStation 3 classic The Unfinished Swan would be recklessly flinging paint onto the PlayStation 4. The speculations were soon shot down, but we've kept our fingers crossed ever since. Apparently all our appendage-based...
News Fencing Sim Nidhogg Strategically Shuffles onto PS4 and Vita This Week
En garde
If there's one thing Sony's system's are sorely lacking, it's games about fencing that feature giant cosmic worms which devour the inferior player. Luckily, Nidhogg is here to fill that hideously underrepresented niche. The inventive indie joins recent PlayStation Plus freebie Sportsfriends as an example of smaller developers making...
News This New Far Cry 4 Trailer Shows Off Kyrat's Colourful Characters
Kyrat race
There's a new Far Cry game on the horizon, which means that Ubisoft is hard at work sending us trailers every other day. We've not posted them all, of course, because we can only listen to so much marketing jargon and dubstep before we permanently reinvent the definition of insanity. But on a lazy - and decidedly slow - Sunday like today,...
Review Dust: An Elysian Tail (PlayStation 4)
Elysian feels
You wake up in the middle of a field with no idea who you are, or what you’re doing. A totally foreign winged creature flitters about, its aggravatingly chipper voice flinging questions at you incessantly. The ornate sword at your feet can also talk, but thankfully its voice is mercifully sombre. It informs you that you need to go on...
News Here's How to Get into PS4 Shooter Evolve's 'Big Alpha' Test
Beta be good
It seems that Alpha and Beta tests are all the rage these days. Destiny arguably mastered this technique, with countless players pre-ordering the title in order to get a taste of its extra-terrestrial escapades. In truth, we reckon this is pretty good idea, as it allows any potential online functionality problems to be hashed out before...
News Geometry Wars Finally Makes Its PlayStation Debut in November
Acute and cuddly
After two successive snubs, the Geometry Wars series is finally making it onto Sony platforms, with Geometry Wars3: Dimensions launching on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. The sharp shooting title will hit the digital marketplace on 25th November in North America, and the following day in Europe. As for pricing, the game will set...
News Whoa, LittleBigPlanet 3 Features a Seriously Star-Studded Voice Cast
Fry and Laurie reunited
The LittleBigPlanet franchise was already leading the pack when it came to narration, thanks to Stephen Fry's dulcet voiceovers. However, there's always room for improvement, and in the franchise's newest entry that improvement comes in the form of a fully voice-acted adventure. What's more, the recently revealed cast members...
Weirdness This Minecraft Remake of P.T. is Almost as Scary as The Original
Block party
It was only a matter of time before a crafty fan remade Hideo Kojima's harrowing P.T. demo in Minecraft, and, as usual, the enterprising community has outdone itself. All of your favourite moments are represented here: the famous looping hallway, the embarrassingly dirty bathroom, and, of course, the lingering sense that downloading this...
Review Futuridium EP Deluxe (PlayStation 4)
Spacecubes
The work of a space pilot is never done – and in Futuridium EP Deluxe, you'll learn this firsthand. This retro themed shooter attempts to combine classic genre tropes with modern sensibilities, while also providing a cacophony of visual and sonic stimulation. But does this ship reach warp speed, or could it have used a bit longer in the...
News Kick the Hobbit with This Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor PS4 Trailer
Looking sharp
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor is like the little engine that could. While we were certainly excited for the title, its extremely positive reviews have sealed it as one of the must-have games in the already packed month of October. And in order to remind everyone of its existence, developer Monolith Productions has released a nifty new...
News Telltale's The Walking Dead, Er, Walks onto PS4 on 24th October
It's about Clemen-time
The Walking Dead has seemingly been shambling onto the PlayStation 4 for months now. However, after an almost endless run of rumours, developer Telltale Games has confirmed that the title will be launching for the super system on 24th October. To be clear, both seasons will be released separately, in digital and
