  • News The Talos Principle 2 Seemingly Confirmed by Croteam

    Serious, man

During a post-mortem talk of the puzzling original at the Nordic Game Conference, Alen Ladavac, CTO at Croteam, took to the stage to say that a sequel is happening. This was tweeted...

  • News Dynasty Warriors 9 Announcement will 'Have a Greater Impact than You Can Imagine'

    Omega Force boss hypes up sequel

    Dynasty Warriors 9 is happening - we've known that for a while now - but publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Omega Force have both been suspiciously quiet on the subject. As regular readers and fans will know, a new Warriors game is seemingly announced every other week, but the Japanese companies are certainly taking...

  • News Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 Won't Be Held Back by PS3

    Sequel's a PS4 exclusive in Japan

    In case you hadn't noticed, many Japanese titles are still being released on PlayStation 3 in the Land of the Rising Sun. Here in the West, we usually only get the current generation versions due to the sheer popularity of the PlayStation 4, but i's been clear for some time that last-gen development can hold...

  • Review DOOM (PS4)

    Leviticus 26:7

    It wasn't until Wolfenstein: The New Order that we noticed how homogeneous first-person shooters have become over the past decade. The genre's certainly made strides forward, but from a big picture perspective, we've spent the past decade or so taking cover and performing pot-shots to reach our objectives. However, MachineGames'...

  • News We're Still Not Sold on Final Fantasy XV's Battle System

    Brand new "high level" gameplay emerges

    It's safe to say that not everyone is entirely sold on Final Fantasy XV's battle system just yet - including ourselves - but the hope is that once you have access to various powerful spells and sword combos, combat will become increasingly enjoyable. Giving us a glimpse of what battles will be like at higher...

  • News Is Sony Reviving Legendary PSone Title G-Police?

    Under arrest

    Here's one that will date our readers: Sony's registered a trademark for G-Police in Europe. For those of you under the age of 28, this was a really popular sci-fi flight sim which released for the PSone all the way back in 1997 to rave reviews and some relatively strong sales numbers.

  • Hands On Feeling Our Way Through Blind on PlayStation VR

    Who turned out the lights?

    There were a pretty substantial number of games at PAX East that implemented virtual reality: some used the plethora of headsets for gimmicks, some to generate unique experiences, and some as a framing device for titles that would be less interesting if they were made in the traditional way. Italian dev Tiny Bull Studios'...

  • News EA Boss: I Absolutely Rejected Battlefield 1

    Good job he changed his mind

    Battlefield 1 is taking the series back in time, to a past without robot limbs and orbital strikes. The game's historic angle has caught the attention of many, but apparently, the title's core concept didn't always seem like a good idea to EA Studios boss Patrick Soderlund. During the publisher's recent investor...

  • Review Shadow of the Beast (PS4)

    Adios, Amiga

    Of the numerous reboots, remakes, and remasters this generation has brought us, this one may just be the most drastic. Originally released in 1989 on the Commodore Amiga, Shadow of the Beast was well received and lauded for its mind-blowing visual fidelity. Heavy Spectrum's modern take on the hard-as-nails classic has been a long time...

  • News Sony Gives Its E3 2016 PlayStation Press Conference a Time and Date

    Be there or be square

    Great news if you're an expectant PlayStation fan: Sony's given a time and date to its E3 2016 press conference. Not so great news if you're the editor of a UK based PlayStation website. Why? Because the bloody thing starts at 02:00AM here. Honestly, the things that we do... Anyway, you can look forward to seeing what the...

  • News Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 Is Probably Being Revealed Tomorrow

    Time patrol go

    Dragon Ball XenoVerse has been a big success for Bandai Namco, shipping over three million copies worldwide since it launched back in February of last year.

  • News UK Sales Charts: Uncharted 4 Smashes Predecessor's Sales on PS4

    Draking it in

    With some inevitability, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End has become the fastest selling entry in Naughty Dog's popular action adventure series to date in the UK, with sales of the PlayStation 4 exclusive bettering those of PlayStation 3 predecessor Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception by 66 per cent. That puts the game in a very handsome...

  • News Homefront: The Revolution's Day One Patch Makes the Game Run Properly

  • Video Should You Buy DOOM on PS4?

    Hell's respawn

    We've been to Hell and back – and all you're getting is this lousy DOOMvideo review. While reviewer Joey Thurmond is still busy thoroughly investigating every last crevice of the underworld, yours truly has returned from Hades with a tale to tell. Watch on as we walk you through id Software's unashamedly old-school FPS – and come...

  • Push Share Six of Our Slickest Uncharted 4 Photos

    Say cheese

    Whatever your thoughts on Nate Drake's final ever foray, few could deny that Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is a handsome game. Naughty Dog has really outdone itself crafting the PlayStation 4 exclusive, and with a feature-rich photo mode included, we thought that we'd ask each of our team members to Push Share one last time in order to show...

  • News More than Half of the Assassin's Creed Movie Takes Place in the Modern Day

    Asking for trouble?

    The modern day portions of the Assassin's Creed series are divisive to say the least. Surely, a lot of the franchise's appeal comes from the fact that you can explore interesting periods from the past, and more often than not, we'd argue that the present day segments do little more than pull you out of the fun. While it's true...

  • News Dragon Quest Heroes II's Opening Movie Is a Real Charmer

    Heroic effort

    If there's one thing that the Dragon Quest series has always had, it's bucketloads of charm - and there's plenty of that on show in Dragon Quest Heroes II's opening cutscene. Square Enix has put the movie online for us all to enjoy before the hack and slash title launches later this month in Japan, and we've embedded it below. The CG...
