  • News No Man's Sky Dev Received Death Threats Over Delay

    Sigh

    A timely reminder that, for all of its brilliance, the Internet can also be a bloody awful place: No Man's Sky developer Sean Murray has revealed that he has received "loads of death threats this week" following the minor delay to Hello Games' hotly anticipated space sim. The title was pushed back from 21st June to 9th August this week, meaning...

  • News Yep, No Man's Sky Has Been Delayed Again on PS4

    No man, why

    It was inevitable, we suppose. Just two weeks ahead of Sony's E3 2016 press conference, No Man's Sky appears to have been hit with another delay. The information comes straight from the game's media page on playstation.com, so we'd say that it's pretty much official. You can probably expect some sort of statement from Sony or developer...

  • News TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan Runs at 30FPS on PS4, Lasts Around 3 Hours

    Cow-a-bomba

    Heroes in a half-shell? More like heroes at half the framerate, huh? Digital Foundry has released some hands-on impressions of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan – and they're not particularly positive. We've been told that review code isn't quite ready to go yet, so this is the best that you're getting for now. So,...

  • Review LUMO (PS4)

    Old school of magic

    One thing that's evident from the outset of Gareth Noyce's isometric puzzler is the focus on nostalgia. Noyce is somewhat of an industry veteran working for a number of studios over the past 15 years, including the recently closed Lionhead, Geometry Wars creators Bizarre, and Realtime Worlds. Ostensibly an homage to isometric...

  • Round Up Overwatch PS4 Reviews Are Ridiculously Positive

    Surprise, surprise

    The nature of Overwatch means that most critics are only really just getting stuck into the final game, and that includes ourselves. However, a handful of publications already feel like they've seen enough of Blizzard's latest to review it – and, unsurprisingly, the early signs are positive. In fact, they're so good that the...

  • News The New Valkyria Chronicles Game Hasn't Gone Down Well with RPG Fans

    Game's being changed based on demo feedback

    When Valkyria Chronicles Remastered launched in Japan, it came with a playable demo of the next title in the series, Valkyria: Azure Revolution. If you've been keeping up to date with this one, you'll know that Azure Revolution is trying a lot of new things; judging from the gameplay that we've seen, it...

  • News PS4 Exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn's Getting Ready for E3 2016

    Earth is ours no more

    Following its Push Square Game of the Show award last year, Horizon: Zero Dawn was always likely to be one of Sony's big E3 2016 highlights – and it looks like the platform holder's getting the hype flowing a little earlier this year. Guerrilla Games tweeted out a photograph of downtown Los Angeles today, which has been...

    Cowabunga

Sadly, we don't have a review for you to read jus yet, but we do have the title's launch trailer, which is packed with gameplay. From what we can tell, the action's looking pretty great, and as always, we're...

  • News Uncharted 4's Focus Testing Didn't Always Go Smoothly

    One individual had to be ejected

    By and large, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End has prompted a pretty damn positive response – but not everyone is in love with the PlayStation 4 exclusive. But while criticisms of its pacing and platforming may be more than fair, comments about the gender of some of its characters are less reasonable. However, that's...

  • News Hideo Kojima Modelling New Studio on Media Molecule

    Small and intimate

    Do you remember Hideo Kojima's recent worldwide tour? The auteur picked up a lot of tips for the running of his own independent studio, and he's modelling it on Media Molecule. Speaking with Game Reactor, the veteran revealed all about the new Kojima Productions, which is working on a PlayStation 4 exclusive under the Sony...

  • News Sink Your Fangs into Some Fresh Vampyr Screenshots

    A better look at the gloomy PS4 RPG

    It's about time that we got a slightly better look at Vampyr, the promising action role-playing game from Life Is Strange developer DONTNOD. While we'd prefer an informative gameplay video at this point, we won't say no to several new screenshots - even if they're all gloomy as heck. Supposedly, these new pics...

  • News Koei Tecmo's Bringing Something Big to E3 2016

    "Top secret" project to be announced

    Nothing like a bit of E3 hype peddling to liven up your day, eh?

Today, it's the turn of Japan's Koei Tecmo to confirm that it'll be revealing a...

  • News Yes, Overwatch Has Microtransactions

    But they're not a big deal

    We jumped on our laptop last night to try and track down some potential news, but our plans were thwarted by Blizzard's latest. Having just released, Overwatch utterly dominated our news feeds - we knew it was going to be big, but we're not sure anyone saw it being this popular. However, now that the shooter's out in the...

  • News Toukiden 2's Looking Sharp in New PS4 Gameplay Trailer

    Demonic dismemberment

    There's something incredibly satisfying about lopping off the limbs of giant demons in Toukiden, and we're glad that Toukiden 2's new trailer seems to agree with us. Full of hacks, slashes, and weird, powerful spirit hands, the action role-playing title's fresh video's full of new gameplay clips. Due out later this year on...

  • News Sony Expects to Sell a Lot of PS4 Consoles This Fiscal Year

    Like, a lot

    Sony's released its sales forecasts for the fiscal year which started in April, and they paint a very interesting picture for the PlayStation 4.

    Gin blossoms

    The biggest new addition to the North American PlayStation Store this week? It's not Overwatch, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan, or Downwell – it's the addition of Hey Jealousy to the Rock Band 4 store. Love that song.
