Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 300
Three oh oh
It’s a landmark edition of What Are You Playing This Weekend, and we still haven’t missed a single issue.

"I've played some great VR games"
Xbox head Phil Spencer was in the news earlier this week for being a little bit too critical of VR in a recent interview with Stevivor.

GRIS is the word
GRIS is beautiful. From the very moment the game begins to its emotional end, you could push that Share button at any time and have a frame-worthy screenshot.

Mini Review Story of a Gladiator - A Simple But Surprisingly Addictive Little Brawler
Thumbs up
Story of a Gladiator is a deceptively decent indie beat-'em-up. Crafted by the tiny team over at Brain Seal Ltd, it puts you in the blood-soaked shoes of a warrior who fights for glory in a trio of equally blood-soaked arenas. At a glance the game looks a little cheap with its stiff animation and basic interface, but once you're swinging...
News Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Investigating Removal of Online Requirements
Update coming in 2020
The always-online requirement that shipped with Ghost Recon: Breakpoint last month has been a thorn in the backside of many of its players, to the point where nearly a third of a recent Ubisoft survey contained responses requesting for its removal. Those still playing the game, who have now been treated to the title's first...

Already, the sequel AO Tennis 2 is sounding like an enormous...
Deal There's Never Been a Better Time to Buy PSVR
Virtual insanity
PlayStation VR is one of the biggest innovations of the incumbent generation, but historically it’s been pricey to take advantage of the tantalising new technology.

Soapbox Titanfall 2 on PS Plus Isn't Good Value for Money, But It's Still a Great Game
Why you shouldn't skip on Titanfall
PlayStation Plus' line-up for the month of December 2019 was announced yesterday, and as per usual, the response was mixed to say the least. The less said about Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame the better, but it's the inclusion of Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall 2

Rumour Upcoming Batman Game Will Be Officially Announced Next Month
All eyes on The Game Awards
A little earlier in the year, WB Games Montréal got everyone all excited about a possible new Batman title. This game, which is all but confirmed following pretty blatant teasers, is said to be named Batman: Arkham Legacy, and will allegedly focus on a Court of Owls storyline. It sounds rather exciting, but there aren't...
News Death Stranding in Real Life Makes for an Absolute Must Watch Video
A Mega64 masterpiece
Well, what can we say? The Mega64 gang have done it again.

For those totally out of the loop,...

While in Europe the long-awaited sequel is holding its initial price, Amazon US is currently listing the game for $34.99 as part of its Black Friday sale. That perhaps speaks to the slow start the game has had when it...

News Don't Expect Cyberpunk 2077 VR As Dev Comments on 'Very Small' VR Market
CDPR unconcerned about Half Life
Don't get your hopes up for Cyberpunk 2077 VR anytime soon, because CD Projekt Red doesn't seem to think much of virtual reality right now -- at least from a business perspective. During the company's most recent financial call, the developer was asked whether the newly announced Half-Life: Alyx could pose any kind...
News Touring Karts Is PSVR's Take on Mario Kart, Out Next Month
Cross-play with PC and consoles
The list of quality racing games on PlayStation 4 could be a lot better, but when you narrow it down to PlayStation VR titles alone, it becomes worryingly short.

News NetherRealm Rules the Fighting Game Roost on PS4
Get over here
What’s the best-selling fighting game on the PlayStation 4? It probably won’t surprise you, but in the United States it’s Mortal Kombat X.

This process is, of course, nothing new for the company; The Witcher 3 also...
Mini Review Gas Guzzlers Extreme - Nothing Extreme About This Ropey PS4 Racer
Put it in reverse
Gas Guzzlers Extreme is a bad name for a pretty bad game. A combat racer that looks and feels like a title from generations gone by, it fails to really impress on any level. PlayStation 4 is a platform that's suffered a lack of arcade racing games, but this one can't hold a candle to the few decent examples available. One of its...

Either that, or they somehow got a redemption code for it and rated it five stars. In any case, this new low has just hit an even lower low. Thanks again to the eagle-eyed Wario64. Original story: What...
Review Death Stranding - Hideo Kojima's Latest Masterpiece Has Arrived
I'm not that Fragile
When Hideo Kojima stated that his next project would bring about an entirely new genre, he wasn't joking. Death Stranding may feel familiar in minor mechanical means, but it's also wholly unique among a sea of AAA titles eager to take advantage of the latest RPG levelling system. It's a social experience where you never see...
News Of Course Death Stranding Is Getting Review Bombed on Metacritic
What a bunch of BBs
Oh for God's sake, this again? For some reason, quite a few people on the internet have decided that Hideo Kojima's a hack and that he deserves some hate.

News Death Stranding Save Data Can Balloon in Size If You Don't Keep It in Check
So many autosaves
The way Death Stranding manages its save data is... Unique, to say the least. The vast, vast majority of games on PlayStation 4 rack up maybe three or four autosaves at a time and let you create a bunch of manual saves if that's what you prefer. Standard stuff. But for whatever reason, Death Stranding has a habit of creating loads...
Poll Should Sony Work with Hideo Kojima Again?
What's next for Kojima Productions?
Death Stranding is out today, bringing a conclusion to one of the most prestigious partnerships in games.

Second job syndrome
Here’s the concern for Sony: the PlayStation 4 has proven incredibly successful, but a new generation beckons.

The great unknown

Hands On Nioh 2 Could Be the Toughest Souls-Like to Date
Prepare to die
We're not ones to boast, but we sort of have to be pretty good at video games in order to do our jobs properly. We've managed to beat every Dark Souls entry there is, Bloodborne, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice -- you name it and we've probably clocked it. However, Nioh 2's open beta just kicked our arse. Playable for the next 10 days, Koei...

Review WWE 2K20 - 2K Sports' Wrestling Sim Hits Rock Bottom
Undisputed Error
WWE has released a video game based on its flagship brand of sports entertainment every year for close to three decades now, so it may be surprising to some that this year’s entry has veered away from the franchise’s grappling roots in a variety of ways.

News Guerrilla Games Played a Huge Part in Death Stranding's Development
Helping hand
We know that Guerrilla Games shared its proprietary Decima Engine with Kojima Productions in order to help make Death Stranding a reality, but it seems that the Dutch developer played a much bigger role in the PlayStation 4 console exclusive’s production. According to the title’s credits, more than 70 of the Amsterdam-based...
News SingStar Servers to Go Offline Early Next Year
Sony's server purge continues
Man, remember SingStar? What was once a literal system seller on PlayStation 2 has struggled to maintain relevance on later consoles -- especially PS4.

Sanctuary for all
Blizzard has dropped a lot more details on Diablo 4 than we were expecting.

Combat, classes, and more

The action...
News PC RPG Disco Elysium Confirmed for PS4 Following Glowing Reviews
Detective experience coming 2020

News ANTHEM Head of Live Service Departs BioWare
Another one
It's safe to assume that not many people are working on ANTHEM right now. The game's had one heck of a rough year, launching all the way back in February to lukewarm reviews and then gradually falling apart in the months that followed. We'd be shocked if it currently has anything that remotely resembles a healthy userbase at this point...
News Overwatch 2 Announced for PS4, Adds Story Missions and Co-Op
Get the gang back together
Update: Blizzard has confirmed that Overwatch 2 is in development for PS4, but the developer has "no idea" when it'll actually release.
