First Impressions Sliding and Slicing in Warframe on PS4
Named and framed

News Don't Worry, Killzone: Shadow Fall Will Have Dedicated Servers
Smooth as a Helghast's helmet
A lot like cloud compatibility and 60 frames-per-second, dedicated servers have become a bit of a buzzword in the build up to the PlayStation 4. While plenty of PlayStation 3 titles took advantage of the preferred online networking functionality, many pondered if the same would apply to Sony’s next generation console...
News Natural Doctrine Wields Its Sword and Shield in PS4 Trailer
Glitzy glimpse
Japanese publisher Kadokawa Games is hoping to open your eyes to PlayStation 4 launch title Natural Doctrine with a slick little video short that shows off its cast – and most members' questionable dress sense.

Weirdness The Last of Us Almost Ended on a Musical High
Song for slaughter
First shown at PAX, Sony has released a video detailing a rather ridiculous motion capture take of The Last of Us' ending.

Incredibly, Troy...
News David Cage Eager to Get Started on Quantic Dream's PS4 Project
Still in pre-production
Beyond: Two Souls developer Quantic Dream would resemble a chameleon if it were a lizard, as the company is never afraid to change its colour from project to project.

News Killzone: Shadow Fall Will Delve Deeper into Helghast Culture
You won't be playing as the helmet heads, though
The most interesting thing about the Killzone series has always revolved around its orange-eyed antagonists. However, the Helghast, who have been at the forefront of the franchise since its inception, are not necessarily the bad guys. The series’ oft-overlooked lore depicts a much softer side of the...

Miniature heroes
Mortal Kombat developer NetherRealm Studios is no stranger to the PlayStation Vita, having ported an enhanced version of its gory fighting game to the portable platform last year.

Talking Point When Will Be the Right Time to Reintroduce The Last Guardian?
Birds of delay
Four years. It’s been four years since The Last Guardian was officially announced for the PlayStation 3. A leaked video had revealed the project a few weeks earlier, but it wasn’t acknowledged by Sony until the platform holder’s press conference at E3 2009. That early glimpse – a four-and-a-half minute trailer – remains the...

Store Update 24th September 2013 (North America)
Spherical balls
There’s plenty of football on offer as part of this week’s North American PlayStation Store update – but not the kind that our friends over the Atlantic may expect. FIFA 14 and PES 2014: Pro Evolution Soccer are both out now, and that means that there’s nary a shoulder pad or helmet in sight. Other new additions include the...

Review Lone Survivor: The Director's Cut (PlayStation 3)
The only thing scarier than dying alone is surviving alone

Rumour You'll Be Able to Exchange Real Cash for Money in Grand Theft Auto Online
Cash injection

Review Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD (PlayStation 3)
Not-so-clever girl
Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD harkens back to a time when games were simple and focused. Back in the day, the gameplay spoke for itself so there was little need for a narrative, and your overall goal was clear and simple: rescue the princess, shoot the demons, or in this case, hunt the dinosaurs. You play as a nameless hunter,...
Review Elminage Original (PlayStation Portable)
Classic dungeon crawling
Elminage Original harks back to the early days of dungeon crawlers. It's an RPG that revels in simplicity, yet cloaks it in a shroud of ill-explained character classes and nonlinear progression. It very much looks and feels like its 80s and 90s ancestors, such as the Wizardry series and early Dragon Quests. It imitates the...
News Beyond: Two Souls Didn't Cost As Much to Make As You Think
A hard bargain
Ellen Page is not exactly a small name in Hollywood.

Review Madden NFL 25 (PlayStation 3)
Touchdown
Ditching its typical naming pattern for something a little more celebratory, Madden NFL 25 marks the silver anniversary for EA Sports' massively popular American Football series. However, even though this is still a great game, it's not quite the commemoration that you may have wished for, offering plenty of tweaks and enhancements, but...
News Yoshida: Indie Games Will Ensure PS4 Eschews Content Drought
Sprinkling water into the well
Content droughts are common alongside any major platform launch. Publishers tend to target launch day as the optimal date to release their wares, and that often results in a shortage of software over the weeks – and, in particularly problematic cases, months – that ensue. Sony’s already attempted to compensate...
Rumour Grand Theft Auto Online May Actually Support 32 Players
Possibly, anyway
If you need to rob a bus to roll with your inflated crew, then you may be over the moon to learn that Grand Theft Auto Online could support up to 32 players rather than the confirmed 16 players. Cinemablend reports – courtesy of leaked game code – that the title will allow
