All your base
No Man's Sky's first update since right around launch is landing soon, and it's a humdinger.

Guide How to Build Bases in No Man's Sky
Home sweet home
No Man's Sky has received an enormous patch named the Foundation Update, which incorporates the ability to build bases.

Review Darksiders: Warmastered Edition (PS4)
The art of war
It's weird to think that since Darksiders was released in 2010, Vigil Games disbanded, THQ went bankrupt, and Nordic Games acquired the franchise. Not only that, but it has even reincorporated under the name THQ Nordic and overseen remasterings of both games. So while ex-Vigil Games employees are scattered around the place with...

Clash of titans
The rumour mill has officially entered overdrive ahead of PlayStation Experience 2016 next week, with the net outcome presumably being that there are going to be a lot of people let down next weekend.

Review Yesterday Origins (PS4)
Yesterday came suddenly
You might not know it in the modern era of gaming, but you can have an extensive and detailed narrative told on a much smaller scale than the open world blockbusters we've become accustomed to. It wasn't really that long ago that games such as the Monkey Island series or the Broken Sword games were the highlight of narrative...
News There's Excitement for a The Last of Us 2 Reveal at PSX 2016
Can't be for nothing?

News Hello Games Breaks No Man's Sky Silence with Foundation Update
Release imminent
Hello Games probably couldn't have picked a better time to announce No Man's Sky's first proper update in months – it's not like we haven't got plans or anything. Writing on the game's official website months after the title's last update, the Guildford-based studio has revealed that it intends to implement the foundations of the...
Talking Point Is Sony's Fall PS4 Exclusives Strategy Paying Off?
The numbers don't lie
It's been, aside from perhaps PlayStation Network outages, the biggest criticism pointed in Sony's direction: where are the major fall first-party games? The platform holder's obviously promoted plenty of third-party content during the all-important holiday period, but it's been less forthcoming with its own exclusives,...
News Black Friday Flash Sale Brings More Savings to US PSN
More, more, more
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We don't celebrate it here in the UK, but it's nice to get a bit of respite from the usual news churn. Anyway, Sony's decided to keep us on our toes by rolling out a Flash Sale on the North American PlayStation Store, which is live now and set to run until 08:00AM PDT on 29th November. There are some...
News Capcom to Remain Committed to PS4 Exclusive Street Fighter V Until 2020
Shoryuken handle it?
By all accounts it's sold disastrously, but Capcom isn't giving up on Street Fighter V anytime soon. It makes sense, of course – while the PlayStation 4 and PC exclusive may have struggled to appeal to the mainstream market, it still has a very committed and dedicated core fanbase. And speaking with Famitsu magazine, producer...
News PS4 Hardware Bundles Dip Below £199/$249 for Black Friday 2016
The very best deals in the UK and US
Many have pondered why Sony launched the PlayStation 4 Slim to begin with, but this Black Friday 2016 we may be seeing why. The platform holder has been incredibly aggressive with the price of its bundles – particularly in Europe – plunging the price of its flagship format below £199.99 in the UK and $249.99...

Do you underSTEIN?
Imagine if we managed to create a working time machine? How long before the future, past, and present were altered irrevocably – and would it be fun and games or trauma and death? Steins;Gate was a massively acclaimed visual novel developed by 5pb. and Nitroplus back in 2009 telling of humanity's first time-travelling...

News Games Retailers Blame Black Friday for Poor Sales
The worst thing to happen to shops
Games have been flopping pretty freakin' hard this holiday, lending many to question just what's gone wrong. And now, speaking with MCV magazine, UK game retailers have weighed in on the spate of disastrous launches that we've
Soapbox How The Last of Us Proves That Resolution Isn't Everything
Jacob Hull likes PS4 Pro, but loves soul
Being one of the first games to support the PlayStation 4 Pro at launch – and including a native 4K setting with HDR, I might add – I started playing through The Last of Us Remastered to get a feel for the new tech. I'd intended just to have a quick look and see what HDR gaming looked like, but it didn't...

News Japanese Sales Charts: Pokémon Rules the Sun and Moon
And, honestly, the stars right now as well
As expected, Pokémon has attacked the Japanese sales charts with all the force of several suns and moons combined. The game sold over 1.5 million copies in the Land of the Rising Sun, and helped seriously propel Nintendo 3DS sales as a result. This means that the PlayStation 4 slipped down the hardware...

London's calling
Well, this is a surprise: Assassin's Creed Syndicate has been updated to support 4K resolution on the PlayStation 4 Pro. The game, which launched over a year ago, wasn't one of the titles expected to be updated for Sony's new hardware – but this provides hope that publishers may be willing to dive into their back catalogues and...
News Ace Combat 7 and Over 100 Other PS4 Games Will Be Playable at PSX 2016
Horizon: Zero Dawn! Gran Turismo Sport! Yooka-Laylee!
Here's a tasty morsel – and it's not that Thanksgiving turkey that you can't wait to carve. No, platform holder Sony has announced that Ace Combat 7 will be one of the 100 plus titles that will be playable on the PlayStation 4 at PSX 2016 next week. Yes, that's correct: the platform holder's...

Back of the net
Footy fans rejoice: FIFA 17 will be completely free-to-play on the PlayStation 4 this weekend – though there will be a catch. While you'll be able to gain access to the entire game, a portion of The Journey campaign mode will be blocked off, preventing you from seeing the story through. You'll obviously need to cough up if you want...

News Wii U Exclusive LEGO City Undercover Earns Its Badge on PS4
Cuffed to bits
First it was ZombiU, and now it's LEGO City Undercover: the Wii U fanboys would probably be fuming if Nintendo hadn't already ceased production of the catastrophic console. Writing on Twitter, Warner Bros has announced that the aforementioned Grand Theft Auto-inspired blockbuster will be setting a waypoint for the PlayStation 4 in...
Store Update 22nd November 2016 (Europe)
Warmastered week
Many of the fall blockbusters are out now, with only Final Fantasy XV and The Last Guardian left to go.

Video Is NBA 2KVR Experience on PS4 a Slam Dunk?
Basket case
There are times in this industry where the press junket building up to a release is overblown – just take a look at The Last Guardian and Final Fantasy XV, for example – but NBA 2KVR Experience has gone in the opposite direction.

News Nightlife in Yakuza Zero Is Way Better Than Your Average Friday Night
Kung-fu fightin'
What do you get up to on a Friday night? A swift pint at your local? A cheeky dance at the dilapidated nightclub in town?

News Ubisoft Hopes Watch Dogs 2 Has a Long Sales Tail
Publisher weighs in on woof launch
Watch Dogs 2 has got off to an atrocious start, selling some 300,000 units less than its predecessor at launch in the UK alone.

A family affair
Ooh, here's something to look forward to: The Walking Dead: A New Frontier will premiere on 20th December, with a gameplay reveal due at Geoff Keighley's The Game Awards next week. The third season in the exceedingly popular property is leading with a David Cage-esque marketing slogan: how far will you go to protect your family? You...
News Watch Dogs 2's Seamless Multiplayer Arrives on PS4

Talking Point Why Are Fall's Biggest Blockbusters Flopping?
Signs of decline
It's not been a good few months if you pay attention to the UK sales charts. There have been a handful of success stories: Mafia III, against all odds, exceeded expectations – while Battlefield 1 has done well for itself. But by and large, it's been a quarter of catastrophic sequels: Titanfall 2? Down. Gears of War 4? Down. Call...
Rumour Sam Drake to Star in Standalone Uncharted 4 Spin-Off
A thief's beginning?
Nathan Drake will cameo in one final adventure, but it's his brother Sam who will take the lead in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's standalone story spin-off. The all-new adventure – which will apparently be announced at PSX 2016 next week – will allegedly launch early next year, and will see Drake "handing over the adventuring...
Review Small Radios Big Televisions (PS4)
Virtual surreality
Despite this review's subheading, Small Radios Big Televisions is not a VR game – at least, not in regular terms. Indeed, it's your in-game self that dons a headset in Adult Swim's exploration puzzler as you make your way through the empty halls of abandoned facilities. Quite why this is the case is very much a mystery, and...
News UK Sales Charts: Ubisoft Will Be Hacked Off with Watch Dogs 2's Performance
Series sees massive decline

Chart-Track does not publish sales figures, but Ubisoft's latest charted below Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare,...

Brothers in arms
It's been a long wait, but Naughty Dog has finally revealed the hotly anticipated co-operative mode for Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.

Also, social media features and camera tweaks
Final Fantasy XV will receive a day one patch, as reported earlier in the month. And the details of this beefy fix – dubbed the 'Crown Update' – have been revealed online.

News Beware of Final Fantasy XV Spoilers as Street Date Breaks
Hajime Tabata urges silence
You've waited a decade to play it, so it's sod's law that Final Fantasy XV should leak.
