High in the sky
How We Soar is a wonderfully well-crafted virtual reality game that follows the journey of an author, through his struggles of trying to write his first novel. Although he has many ideas, he cannot decide on one over another, and so all of them are compiled together to form the environments of each level in the game. Although the...
PSX 2016 Sony Boasts That the Best Games Are on PS4
After yesterday, who'd argue?
It's the breadth, isn't it? There's no other manufacturer on this planet who could go from PaRappa the Rapper to WipEout: Omega Collection to Horizon: Zero Dawn to Knack 2 to Uncharted: The Lost Legacy to Gran Turismo Sport to… Well, you get the idea. You may not enjoy every title in Sony's library, but there's so...
News WipEout Omega Collection Looks 4King Unreal on PS4 Pro
Beam it into your Asseg-eyes
You know you've put together a strong press conference when something like WipEout Omega Collection – a jaw dropping reveal under ordinary circumstances – doesn't even feel like the main draw.

PSX 2016 Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Will Be a Lengthy Standalone Story
House of Frazer
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is not downloadable content, and it's not what was rumoured either. All of the talk pre-release pointed to a standalone story involving Sam Drake, but while it's true that you won't need Uncharted 4: A Thief's End to play this adventure, it's all about the relationship between Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross...

If you need a refresher on what was...
News Bruce Straley Will Not Co-Direct The Last of Us: Part II
Astray
This is a little bit of a bummer: Bruce Straley will not co-direct The Last of Us: Part II. The veteran game director, who's been with Naughty Dog for many years but is best known for his partnership with Neil Druckmann on The Last of Us and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, is taking a year-long sabbatical from game development after many years in...

Inject it into our Vanes
Sony's big PSX 2016 press conference was packed to the brim with big name reveals, but some of the smaller announcements caught our eye, too.

Crash Bandicoot is back, baby, and he looks... well, he looks better than ever, to be honest.

Feature What Are Our PSX 2016 Presser Predictions?
Predicting the press conference
With the Tokyo Game Show declining in importance and Sony glossing over Gamescom and Paris Games Week this year, it hasn't been a vintage 12 months for PlayStation press conferences. Don't get us wrong, its E3 2016 showcase this summer was spectacular, ditching the small talk in favour of a 90 minute barrage of...
PSX 2016 You'll Play As Ellie in The Last of Us: Part II on PS4
Can't be for nothing
While both Joel and Ellie will reprise their roles for The Last of Us: Part II, you'll be playing as Ellie in the upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive. Neil Druckmann, the writer and director of the game, confirmed as much during the game's PSX 2016 panel. Ellie was, of course, playable for parts of the original – but she'll be...
News Death Stranding's Trailers Are Connected in the Weirdest Way
Baby blues
Death Stranding's two trailers are connected – though you'll need a YouTube Doubler to understand exactly how.

Well, it turns out that – when played aligned with the new trailer – it's actually Guillermo del Toro's character who's pulling...
PSX 2016 The Last of Us: Part II Is Real on PS4
Survive on
You'd be reasonable assuming Sony couldn't possibly have anything else up its sleeve to end PSX 2016 with a showstopper. What could possibly top Uncharted: The Lost Legacy or, um, Knack 2? Well, it looks like the developer of the former wasn't content by revealing another chapter in its flagship franchise. Naughty Dog has also turned the...
PSX 2016 Death Stranding Will Run on Guerrilla Games' PS4 Engine
And it's now called Decima
The mystery surrounding Death Stranding's engine has finally been revealed: it'll run on Guerrilla Games' proprietary software.

Talking Point What Did You Think of Sony's PSX 2016 Presser?
An experience worth remembering?
The curtain has just closed on Sony's big PSX 2016 press conference, where some of the standout reveals included Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, WipEout Omega Collection, and PaRappa the Rapper. But it was the reveal of The Last of Us: Part II that really stole the show, while Uncharted: The Lost Legacy and
PSX 2016 WipEout Finally Races onto PS4 in Omega Collection
The t-shirt delivers
Shawn Layden, you're alright. WipEout has been conspicuously missing on Sony's current gen hardware for far too long, and at the beginning of the company's PSX 2016 presser, the iconic racing series was revealed to be coming to the PlayStation 4 by everyone's favourite bearded executive. It's called WipEout: Omega Collection,...
PSX 2016 Knack 2 Announced on PS4 to Everyone's Complete Surprise
Knack on wood
Knack was a fine 3D platformer. It stumbled with its story, struggled with repetition, and lacked challenge with its level design, but we think it had a lot of potential to improve. So, it was hard to believe that Mark Cerny's, err, most important legacy would ever receive a sequel, but against all odds, Knack 2 will be building its...
PSX 2016 PaRappa Joins WipEout in Sony IP Resurgence, Demo Out Now on PS4
LocoRoco and Patapon, too

PSX 2016 Resident Evil 7 Still Looks Absolutely Terrifying on PS4
Demo update hitting tonight
One of the trailers debuted in Sony's blink-and-you'll-miss-it Playstation Experience conference today was for upcoming PlayStation 4 survival horror Resident Evil 7. And to be perfectly honest, we almost wish that we did blink and miss the clip, because it was patently terrifying. If you're feeling like a dose of...

Thrills, spills, and an epic...
PSX 2016 Ace Combat 7 Takes to The Skies With New Trailer
Soarin'
We haven't heard much about Bamco's sky-high flight series in some time. After being announced at last year's PSX, details were scarce until Ace Combat 7 appeared on the list of playable games at Sony's end-of-year bash. Unfortunately while this trailer confirmed that Ace Combat 7 still exists, we didn't much past that. Barely a minute of...
PSX 2016 Meet Some New Monsters in Horizon: Zero Dawn's Latest Trailer

A series of unfortunate events
Whew, seeing a new trailer for Giant Sparrow's new title was actually quite a relief.

While there have been a few trailers, details have been scarce since the last one back in early...
PSX 2016 Persona 5 English Story Trailer Calls Upon Its Inner Self
Personal business
The trailers just refuse to stop today, and now the Phantom Thieves are getting in on the act. Atlus has revealed an English Persona 5 story trailer that gives a relatively vague overview of the role-playing release's narrative. It's all about your inner self and that, innit. Persona 5 is due to launch in April next year, but are...
PSX 2016 Destiny's The Dawning Update Promises a Lot of Festive Game Tweaks
Snow joke
Bungie's going in pretty hard with Destiny's winter festivities, it would seem.

News Hideo Kojima Completed Metal Gear Solid V in Solitary Confinement
Sent to the stands
Geoff Keighley's teary tribute to Hideo Kojima during last night's The Game Awards may have been a touch over-the-top, but speaking with Glixel prior to the show, the host did reveal a little more about the luminary's predicament at Konami. Apparently, during the final stages of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's production,...
Guide What Time Does Sony's PSX 2016 Press Conference Start?
Action stations
This is it, then: the final PlayStation press conference of the year. To be fair, the calendar hasn't exactly been overflowing with them in 2016. Yes, we had the excellent E3 2016 this summer, but TGS 2016 and PlayStation Meeting were both considerably low-key – especially when it came to new software announcements. Without a...

Pre-orders are "exceeding expectations"
The wait for The Last Guardian is almost over.

However, the video hasn't been...
News Duke Nukem's a Pre-Order Incentive in Bulletstorm PS4
Not sure how enticing that is, though?
This author didn't really like Bulletstorm at the best of times, so we're not convinced that chucking in Duke Nukem is going to make it any better. That's exactly the arrangement that Gearbox has cooked up with People Can Fly, though, as John St. John has reprised his role as the bleach haired lothario to add...
News Could PaRappa the Rapper Be About to Spit into PSX 2016?
Gotta believe
Kick, punch, it's all in the mind – or is it? The ever eagle-eyed Gematsu has spotted a new rating for a game called PaRappa the Rapper on the Korean classifications board. The filing was submitted by Sony Interactive Entertainment recently, though a platform frustratingly isn't listed. So

News The Reaction to December's PlayStation Plus Games Has Not Been Positive
Not so happy holidays
Earlier this week, Sony leaked December's PlayStation Plus offerings on its very own digital storefront.

Y'know, something...

Soapbox December PlayStation Plus May Be Disappointing, But You Should Still Play Stories
Ramsey reckons the action RPG is worth a shot
So, a lot of people aren't happy with December's PlayStation Plus line up, which is fair enough - you can't win 'em all.

Brrr
Capcom's released the above trailer for Street Fighter V's upcoming downloadable content pack, and, well, the only thing that we've really taken away from it is that it includes a lot of skimpy Christmas costumes. Oh, and it's got an amazingly cheesy rendition of Jingle Bells playing over it. Apparently, we're getting a release date for all of...

Since then, developer Hello Games has released...

Sony's bringing the PlayStation Meeting back for another year, as the Japanese company prepares its fan-driven event and stage presentation for the 3rd December.
