TGS 2017 Nioh Cuts Loose with a Complete Edition Later This Year
The base game and all DLC
An announcement that should come as no surprise to anyone, Nioh will be getting a Complete Edition.

Hands On Forgotton Anne Remembers to Bathe in Style
More than meets the eye
You could say that the 2D platforming genre has become a little stale as a myriad of titles release every week hoping to replicate the experiences you remember from 20 years ago, but Forgotton Anne does things differently. A 2D side-scrolling platformer it is indeed, but with a stunning visual art style, surprising mechanics,...

Review Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash (PS4)
Peachy keen
Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash wears its heart on its, er, bras and bikinis with unabashed aplomb. It’s the purest kind of ecchi content you could possibly imagine, arguably upping the ante for the game series with a cast of over 30 well-endowed women soaking each other with water guns. To say that things get wet and wild is an...
Review Hidden Dragon: Legend (PS4)
Fighting Dragon, Hidden Legend
Following in the footsteps of Eastern epics like the already classic Nioh and July’s excellent Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, Megafun Games’ Hidden Dragon: Legend is a side-scrolling combat platformer set in Imperial China. The story begins with the amnesiac Lu, who staggers out of a prison massacre and...

Hands On Sonic Forces Offers Both Slick Speed and Colourless Customisation
To Infinite and beyond
For fans of the Modern Sonic gameplay that was predominantly featured in Unleashed, Colors, and Generations, you can rest your fears as it returns in Sonic Forces feeling just as slick. Switching between the widescreen 3D and singular 2D, Sonic’s pace thankfully never outruns the screen. This issue occurred for some in...

By 'eck
Someone at Ubisoft’s been busy playing The Witcher III: Wild Hunt.

Hands On Far Cry 5 Sticks to the Tried and Tested Formula
A stronger party cabinet
If Ubisoft were to give another one of its franchises a bit of a break and a slight reboot, the Far Cry series has to be a prime candidate. Despite entry numbers three and four being fairly high in quality, they followed the Ubisoft open world formula to a tee, with only a radical setting change being the main...

News Nintendo Switch Not Affecting PS4's Sales, Says Sony
Both devices doing well
The Nintendo Switch has got off to a much stronger start than its predecessor the Wii U, but its early success isn’t cannibalising the PlayStation 4’s sales, according to SIE group president Andrew House. There’s been a good tussle between the two systems recently in the monthly NPD report, but it seems that regardless...

Rockstar teases more info
Rockstar is teasing something Red Dead Redemption 2 related over on Twitter, and as you'd expect, the gaming sphere has gone nuts.

Hands On Knowledge Is Power (Unless You're Thick as a Brick Obvs)
Knowledge is everything in this game
The obligatory trivia game in Sony’s burgeoning PlayLink line is exactly what you’d expect it to be: a jovial round of multiple choice with silly photo opportunities and a host that likes the sound of his own voice. With an eccentric, borderline claymation artstyle, it certainly looks the part – although...

TGS 2017 Yakuza: Kiwami 2 Nabs Another Questionable Side Activity
Say cheese
The Yakuza series is no stranger to, er, somewhat questionable side activities.

We're not sure whether stuff like this goes down well with everyone, but the bottom line is...

News Rainbow Six: Siege's PS4 Patch Is Busting Entire PS4 Consoles
Maybe don't download it
The new patch for Rainbow Six: Siege is probably best avoided for now, as there are reports that it’s bricking entire PlayStation 4 consoles.

A bad crop
When we received the code for Maize, a comedic first-person adventure game about sentient corn, we were obviously intrigued. How could we not be?

Alicia they tried
The first Tomb Raider movie trailer is finally out, and – y’know what, it actually doesn’t look that bad.

Even after its most recent showing during Sony's TGS 2017 press conference, we still don't know what it's all about. It's got multiple playable high school students who pilot big mechs, but do we get to smash things up with...
TGS 2017 Boost Your Play Is Another Brilliant PS4 Montage
Super FX
Sony is the undisputed master of the montage, but PlayStation Japan has raised the level even higher in recent years. You may remember last year’s PlayStation 4 rap, and now the platform holder’s returned with a new promotional video, this time running with the slogan ‘Boost Your Play’. The idea is that each major upcoming game...
TGS 2017 Yakuza Studio's Fist of the North Star Punches PS4 to Bits in February 2018
In Japan, at least
In case you don't already know, Fist of the North Star is coming to PlayStation 4, and it's being developed by the team behind the Yakuza series. It was first revealed a few weeks ago during the developer's own presentation, and now the brawler's got a new trailer fresh from Sony's TGS 2017 press conference. Basically, this looks...
TGS 2017 Dragon's Crown Pro Burns PS4 Alive in January 2018
Current-gen remaster confirmed
Dragon's Crown Pro is official, and it's coming to PlayStation 4 on the 25th January in Japan. A remaster of the already stunning PlayStation 3 and Vita release, it promises enhanced resolution and, at a guess, a more stable frame rate. There's currently no word on a Western launch, but we don't see why Atlus wouldn't...
TGS 2017 Earth Defense Force 5 Brings Its Special Brand of Jank to PS4 on 7th December
EDF! EDF! EDF
There were two Earth Defense Force games shown during Sony’s TGS 2017 press conference, but lets start with the janky one, shall we? D3 Publisher has announced that Earth Defense Force 5 will plunge framerates with low-quality assets from 7th December in Japan. Again, there’s no word on a Western release date just yet, but we’d...
TGS 2017 Cat Collecting Sim Neko Atsume Purrs to PlayStation VR
Claw-some
Few details were revealed during Sony's TGS 2017 press conference, but cat collecting sim Neko Atsume is coming to PlayStation VR next year in Japan. The main game – available on smartphones – sees you placing items in order to attract furry friends to your garden. It’s unclear at the time of typing, but we imagine this PlayStation 4...
TGS 2017 Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation 2 Announced for Japan
Suits you, sir
Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation 2 will mech its way to the PlayStation 4 next year in the Japan. Google tells us that this is actually a sequel to a free-to-play PlayStation 3 competitive action title that closed down earlier in the year. To be perfectly honest, we can’t tell you much more about it – but we’ll make sure...

TGS 2017 No Heroes Allowed! VR Raises an Army of Rascals in October
Bad, man

The game was given a 14th October release date in Japan during the platform holder’s TGS 2017 press conference yesterday. Based upon the Badman games, the...

TGS 2017 Noctis Joins the Dissidia Final Fantasy NT Battle on PS4
Noct Noct
Dissidia: Final Fantasy NT got a new gameplay trailer during Sony's TGS 2017 press conference. The brawler's still looking pretty, but the big takeaway here is that Noctis of Final Fantasy XV will be joining the playable character roster. Not much of a surprise, but at least he looks fun to fight as. You can catch a glimpse of the gloomy...
TGS 2017 Dynasty Warriors 9 Launches on PS4 Worldwide in Early 2018
Koei Tecmo shares a vague date
Dynasty Warriors 9 got a new-ish trailer and a vague 'early 2018' release date during Sony's TGS 2017 press conference. Japan is also getting a limited edition Dynasty Warriors 9 PlayStation 4 console, but we seriously doubt that'll be coming West. And that vague release date is worldwide, by the way. Nice...
TGS 2017 Enjoy the Sounds of Japan Studio with PlayStation VR
Orchestral app on the way

This included compositions from Gravity Rush, The Last Guardian, and much more. And...

News Divinity: Original Sin 2 Dev Isn't Talking About PS4 Version Just Yet
Focusing on PC launch
Divinity: Original Sin 2 has just hit PC, but according to a quick interview with Eurogamer, developer Larian Studios isn't quite ready to talk about the PlayStation 4 version just yet. The sequel to Divinity: Original Sin -- which launched as an Enhanced Edition on PS4 in 2015 -- has sold almost 500,000 copies on PC in...

News The Masterpiece That Is Final Fantasy IX Is Coming to PS4
Vivi voom
The Tokyo Game Show 2017 hype has started almost nine hours early. According to a European rating spotted by Gematsu, Final Fantasy IX -- a game considered by many to be the best entry in the series -- is being ported to PlayStation 4. In our opinion, the PSone title is nothing less than a masterpiece. Final Fantasy IX was...

Review PES 2018: Pro Evolution Soccer (PS4)
YES
The fact that the box of PES 2018 has a Barcelona shirt-touting Neymar emblazoned on the front may seem like a bad omen for a series that, in the past few years, has often had trouble staying up-to-date. Pretty much every PES game on PS4 has had a troubled launch, taking months to update lineups to reflect the summer transfer window - but this...
Guide What Time Is Sony's TGS 2017 PlayStation Press Conference?
When and where to watch Sony's Japanese briefing
Of all the annual PlayStation press conferences, the Tokyo Game Show probably ranks the lowest of the lot in terms of interest. And that’s a shame because, if you’ve worked through the dodgy translations in the past, you’ll know that previous shows have played host to reveals like Gravity Rush 2...
News Cross-Console Play Between PS4 and Xbox One Was Reality for a Few Hours
Error enables platforms to play together
The whole cross-console conversation has become increasingly tedious since E3 2017, with Microsoft eager to repeat that it’s open to the idea, and Sony casually shutting discussions down – often with silly justifications. But in an interesting twist, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players were actually united...

Review Dishonored: Death of the Outsider (PS4)
Lurking around
The immersive sim is one of the most rewarding genres in gaming. The more you put into them, the more you get in return, and the Dishonored series is one of the best examples of this in recent years. Death of the Outsider is a smaller scale adventure at around half the length of 2016’s Dishonored 2, but it retains the same brilliant...

Hands On Dragon Ball FighterZ Could End Up Being One of the Best Anime Fighters Ever
Just Saiyan
There have been a lot of Dragon Ball titles over the years, but only a handful of them can be considered truly good games. Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 immediately springs to mind, and the much more recent Dragon Ball XenoVerse series is no slouch, either. Again, good games, but then that opens the case on another question...
News UK Sales Charts: NBA 2K18 Leapfrogs PES 2018 at Launch
Hoopin' mad
This is crazy: basketball simulation NBA 2K18 has charted higher than footie follow-up PES 2018: Pro Evolution Soccer on the UK sales charts. While there’s unlikely to be much difference between the two titles, and Konami’s soccer sequel did much better on the PlayStation 4 than it did on the Xbox One, it’s still an unexpected...
News It Looks Like Gearbox Has Finally Given Up on Battleborn
The battle's lost
In a statement that surely no one saw coming, Gearbox has said that it won't be providing any more support for Battleborn going forward. In an official forum post, creative director Randy Varnell wrote "as of this week, there will be no more Battleplans and there is currently no planned content after the Fall Update. Details of any...
News Code Vein Looks a Little Bit Naff in New Boss Gameplay
Something something Dark Souls
We like the idea behind Code Vein, but we're yet to see any footage that really makes us excited to play it. Unfortunately, this latest boss fight gameplay does nothing for us either. When the project was first revealed, it was described as anime Dark Souls, and as much as we hate to compare anything to From Software's...
News Here's Your Very First Look at the Tomb Raider Movie
Jolie good
There’s a Tomb Raider movie launching in March 2018, and the marketing machine just went into overdrive. Ahead of a trailer set to debut tomorrow, Warner Bros has released the first poster showing Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft. If we’re being really critical, we don’t like her pose here – it just looks weird. Fortunately, promo...
News Destiny 2 Is Down for Another Few Hours Today

You'll be unable to log in from 07:00 Pacific/15:00 UK time, and then at 08:00 Pacific/16:00 UK time, anyone still playing the game will be kicked out.
