Genre blended meta growth
Back in 2014, Gearbox Software head honcho Randy Pitchford incomprehensibly described Battleborn as an "FPS; hobby-grade co-op campaign; genre-blended, multi-mode competitive e-sports; meta-growth, choice epic Battleborn Heroes". While no one could quite decipher just what he was going on about, it was safe to assume that...
Hands On Dispatching Demons in DOOM on PS4
\m/
DOOM wastes no time setting out its stall. There a pentagram, a pistol, and one of Satan's soldiers. Pew, pew – off we go. Extremely late review copies mean that we've only just managed to get our hands on id Software's key card collecting sim – but does this unashamedly old-school FPS make a strong first impression? We're about three or so...

News Is PS4K Scheduled to Launch Before October?
For the upgraders
The PlayStation 4K, or Neo as it's supposedly codenamed, is not a rumour anymore; Sony may have refrained from commenting on the upgraded hardware, but it's almost certainly happening. The big question is: when? Previous rumours pegged the supercharged platform for October, which is when PlayStation VR is also set to deploy.

French publisher seems to agree with EA
Earlier this week, EA's Peter Moore stated in an interview that he thinks consoles as we know them will die out sooner or later, and will be replaced by streaming technology.

A'right, guv'nor
Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments is an underrated adventure on the PlayStation 4, so we're really looking forward to its successor Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter.

News Wow, the Overwatch Beta Was Stupidly Popular
Blizzard posts ridiculous numbers
You know what? Overwatch just might be the next big thing, at least, if the shooter's most recent beta has been anything to go by.

News PS4 Was the Best Selling Console in the US Last Month
Confirmation at last
Sony refrained from releasing its usual self-fellating PR statement following last night's NPD report, leading many – ourselves included – to assume that the PlayStation 4 had failed to secure a seventh successive spell at the top of the US hardware charts. However, it's since confirmed to IGN that its new-gen system was...

Update: PS4 was best selling console

News Capcom: Street Fighter V Needed More Polish and More Content
CEO admits the brawler deserved better
We've said it a million times before, and we'll say it again: Street Fighter V is a bloody good fighting game - but its prowess as a brawler hasn't been enough to disperse the air of negativity that's surrounded the title since it launched earlier this year. Recently, Capcom revealed that the game has actually...

News CHVRCHES Bang Out Some Electro Pop for Mirror's Edge Catalyst
Warning call
Mirror's Edge may be best remembered for its saturated art style and innovative free-running gameplay, but this author still listens to Lisa Miskovsky's haunting theme song to this day.

News Here's What You Can Expect From DOOM's Action-Packed Single Player Campaign
No guts no glory
DOOM's out in just a couple of days on PlayStation 4, so it's nice of Bethesda to release some new gameplay footage while we sit here waiting for our review copy to arrive.

News The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine Sounds Like It'll Run Better than the Main Game on PS4
It'll look better too, apparently
Following its launch almost exactly one year ago, CD Projekt Red set about improved The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's technical performance on PlayStation 4 via numerous game updates - but it's still not perfect. During particularly busy scenarios, the title's still prone to dropping a few frames here and there, but...

Store Update 10th May 2016 (North America)
Uncharted territory
It's a smaller North American PlayStation Store update this time, but no less lacking in blockbusters.

News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Still Top Despite a Total Lack of New Games
Zzzzzzz
It's been a boring few weeks for the Japanese hardware and software charts, and we're afraid that there's no excitement to be found this time around, either. PlayStation 4 sales dropped by about 4000 units, but Sony's latest system still managed to stick to the top spot - that is, if you don't count New 3DS and New 3DS LL numbers as one...

Tanks for the memories
When Valkyria Chronicles launched on the PlayStation 3 in 2008, it was a breath of fresh air.

News You'll Feel the Need for Speed on PS4 Again in 2017
Gimme some skin
Who would have thought that last year's Need for Speed game would be best remembered for its live action cut-scenes rather than its coma-inducing racing? Swedish developer Ghost Games got off to a decent start with Need for Speed: Rivals, but its attempt at rebooting the iconic franchise barely got out of first gear. We're pleased to...

News Dead Island: Retro Revenge May Be More Dislikeable Than Battleborn
Go away
Look, this author's probably the least funny person on the planet – but whether you're a budding comedian or not, you've got to know when to quit.

News Sony Says PS4 Exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn Is Still Releasing in 2016
Contrary to recent rumours
We've had doubts for some time with regards to Horizon: Zero Dawn's supposed 2016 release window - and for good reason, as far as we're concerned. We've seen very little of the title since it was officially announced last year, and it's clear that it's an incredibly ambitious project - but Sony still insists that Guerrilla...
