Or killed it, we'll see

It may be the most noteworthy convention in the gaming calendar, but with famous festivals like Coachella postponed and the Olympics under serious jeopardy, it’s hardly surprising that coronavirus has claimed another victim.

Talking Point PS5 Delay Is Possible, And We Could Have to Accept That
Not now next-gen
As far as we know, the PlayStation 5 is still scheduled to release this coming holiday. Of course, we’re beginning to get the distinct impression that plans may change.

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 314
Corona chaos
You can’t catch coronavirus if you isolate yourself indoors, so what better excuse could you have for playing games all day? Lock your windows and doors, wash your hands, and dig into that backlog – there’s literally never been a better time. Sammy Barker, Editor: I’m messing about at the moment, not really settling on...
Poll How Hyped are You for Ghost of Tsushima?
Now that it has a release date
And just like that, Ghost of Tsushima has a confirmed release date.

Guide Which Yakuza Games to Play and Where to Start
A beginner's guide to Yakuza
SEGA's Yakuza series has been around since the days of the PlayStation 2, but only over the last few years or so has it really began to seep into the consciousness of a wider Western audience.

Greatest hits
The PlayStation 2 is celebrating its 20th anniversary today, and while Sony’s commitment to its PS2 Classics program has been awful, we've been pondering which last-last-gen titles deserve the upscale-and-Trophies treatment on the company's current console.

Hands On Final Fantasy VII Remake's Modern Combat Thrills, But Level Design Feels Stuck in the Past
7th Heaven?
It’s hard to imagine the stakes being higher for Final Fantasy VII Remake, considering this is a recreation of arguably the most iconic PlayStation role-playing game of all time.

Hands On Resident Evil Resistance Is a Fun Enough Multiplayer Distraction
Run to the hills
Capcom hasn't had the best of luck with multiplayer this generation.

So, when the Japanese team announced that Resident...
Hands On Resident Evil 3 Does the PSone Classic Proud

After successfully bringing back its classic survival horror undertaking last year in Resident Evil 2, the Japanese publisher is primed to do it all over again. However, this...

Hands On Shenmue III's Story Quest DLC Is an Add-On Done Wrong
Chawan shite
It may have a bad reputation, but DLC can be incredible. Consider, for one moment, The Old Hunters expansion for Bloodborne: it’s a brilliant extension of an already timeless title, which adds exciting new environments, enemies, and armaments to the fray. Of course, add-on packs have a bad reputation because they’re so often...
Poll Do You Think the Rumoured PS5 Reveal Event Is Still Happening in February?
Do you believe
We're now more than halfway through February 2020 and Sony still hasn't announced any kind of PlayStation 5 reveal event. Numerous longstanding rumours have had this month pegged as the big one, but so far, Sony has remained silent on the subject. Honestly, we're not sure what to think anymore, and so we thought that we'd ask you lot...
Hands On Persona 5 Royal Is So Much More of 2017's Game of the Year
Shujin's finest
Atlus isn't looking to reinvent what it means to be a JRPG with Persona 5 Royal.

So, what do franchise fanatics have to look forward to when...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 311
Weekend wonders
It’s not been a particularly busy week in the games industry, but Dreams’ release feels significant, not just because it’s a major game but because more big launches are right around the corner. Yes, delays mean that the schedule isn’t quite as crowded as it once was, but you better start thinking about cleaning up that...
Round Up Sonic the Hedgehog Movie Reviews Aren't Universally Kind
Not so fast
The Sonic the Hedgehog movie finally hits theatres across the globe tomorrow, but it doesn't sound like the best way to spend an hour and 40 minutes of your time on Valentine's Day. The reviews are starting to flood in across the internet, and you might be better off watching paint dry alongside a date rather than spending your...
Soapbox Why Dreams Needs to Come Pre-Installed on Every PS5
The ultimate dream
Sony loves a good PlayStation pack-in lately.

Soapbox 7 Things BioWare Needs to Fix to Rebuild ANTHEM
This is the ANTHEM, throw your patch up
Do you remember ANTHEM? I do.

Of course, what we got just simply wasn’t good enough. Anthem launched last year as a...
Soapbox Forget the Netflix of Games, Dreams Is the YouTube of Games
Broadcast yourself
The games industry loves a good buzz phrase, doesn’t it? Right now, its preference is the ‘Netflix of Games’, but we’re all familiar with former favourites like the ‘Power of the Cloud’. To be fair, this idea of a subscription-based video game delivery system is not a bad one; Microsoft is already demonstrating with...

Soapbox Yakuza 6: The Song of Life Is One of the Best Video Game Send-Offs
Liam bids Kazuma Kiryu farewell
For the past month or so, I've been committing what some people would consider to be a video gaming sin. I started the story of Kazuma Kiryu back in 2017 with Yakuza 0 and ever since then, I have desperately wanted to see it through to its conclusion. Doing that presented some challenges, however. One of those was...

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 310
That time again
