News The Noticeable Absentees from PlayStation Showcase 2021
Missing in action
Whether you thought it was a barnstormer of a briefing or a bit disappointing, PlayStation Showcase 2021 was unquestionably reserved. Aside from two new projects from Insomniac Games, the Japanese giant primarily focused on updates to first-party titles that were announced last year, like God of War: Ragnarok and Gran Turismo 7...
News Gran Turismo 7's PS5, PS4 Campaign Requires an Online Connection
Bandwidth beggar
Gran Turismo 7’s refreshed single player campaign aims to capture the spirit of old games – in all but one area. As noted in small print on the PlayStation Blog, you’ll need an “Internet connection” in order to enjoy the solo experience, as well as its car collecting GT Café mode and Livery Editor.

Site News NBA 2K22 PS5, PS4 Review - Where Is It?
It's coming, a'ight
We’ve already published our Tales of Arise PS5 review and Life Is Strange: True Colors PS5 review, so you may be wondering where our NBA 2K22 review is. This one is going to take a little while, we’re afraid: that’s because due to the online nature of the release we only received review code until about an hour before...
Poll Did You Buy Tales of Arise?
A new Tale to tell
Tales of Arise is here, and we think it's very, very good. The Japanese role-playing game went above and beyond our expectations, and we awarded it a 9/10 in our Tales of Arise PS5 review. Safe to say we recommend it, but as is always the case with a big release, we want to know whether you've actually bought a copy. Going by the...
News Like a Good Neighbour, Jake from State Farm Is in NBA 2K22
Full face scan and everything
Like a good neighbour, State Farm is there – including in NBA 2K22. The American insurance firm is a huge advertiser during primetime sports events in the United States, including the NFL and NBA, so it’s perhaps no surprise to see 2K Sports sign a partnership with the organisation and inject some ads within the...

Los San-dross

All the PS5, PS4 reveals
After months of patience and an ounce or two of frustration from the PlayStation community, Sony has finally delivered a digital showcase packed to the rafters with new PS5 titles and updates for hotly-anticipated games. There was a lot to take in throughout the roughly 40 minutes of reveals, so you'd be forgiven for...

Lopsided livestream leaves us wanting more and unsure when we'll get it
Prior to the PlayStation Showcase, we dropped a garbage time Soapbox, explaining that Sony couldn’t afford any dead air in its press conference today. But a bizarrely lopsided livestream had us sweating with ten minutes to go: the manufacturer had fallen into every single...

Review Lost in Random (PS5) - Quirky Card-Based Adventure Set in a Dark and Gothic World
Time to Even the Odds
The purpose of the EA Originals publishing label is to bring forth unique and memorable experiences from independent studios.

In the...
News Alan Wake Remastered Shines a Light on PS5, PS4 Release Date in Debut Trailer
Grab your torches
Alan Wake Remastered was confirmed by Remedy Entertainment a little earlier this week, much to the delight of fans.

Coming to Sony's platforms for the first time, Alan Wake Remastered brings back the beloved title with updated...
News God of War's Tyr Is Shorter Than Lady Dimitrescu
Still a big lad, though
Tyr is a name we heard a lot during the course of 2018's God of War, but we never got to meet the Norse god in the flesh. That's set to change in God of War Ragnarok — the new trailer heavily implies he'll ally with Kratos and Atreus, presumably tagging along for at least part of the adventure. That's all very exciting, and...

GT Sport was an amazing game, and successfully transformed Gran Turismo into a viable and popular e-sport, but for long-time fans of the franchise, it lacked meaningful single player content.

Sith sense
The clue was in the trailer, but Sony has its blue fingers all over Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake.

Sony skipped all of the major conventions so far this year, deciding to host PlayStation Showcase 2021 on its own time – but did it make a difference to overall interest?

News Marvel's Wolverine, Spider-Man 2 Are PS5 Exclusives
No PS4 versions announced for now
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will not release until 2023, and it’s probably safe to assume that Marvel’s Wolverine will not come out until after it, so the fact that Sony hasn’t announced PlayStation 4 versions shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Nevertheless, just to make crystal clear, developer Insomniac Games...

Free and premium DLC roadmap is wild
One of the best parts of any given Far Cry game is its post-release support. These games might be a little bit samey, but Ubisoft pushes the franchise into some pretty insane scenarios, providing some wildly different ways to play. Far Cry 6 appears to be no different — the publisher is planning a robust...

God of thunder revealed
Spoilers: Thor will be in God of War Ragnarok. Hardly a shock, considering he's one of the most important figures in Norse myth — and it seems like he'll stand opposed to Kratos and Atreus. While his appearance was teased in the previous game, we've not really had a good look at him yet. Don't worry — Santa Monica Studio...

Soapbox After a Year of Silence, Today's PlayStation Showcase Can't Afford Dead Air
Sammy thinks Sony needs to bring it
Here we go, then: the PlayStation Showcase, three months after E3 2021, with nary a word from the platform holder in the interim. I’ve got to be honest, while supposed “industry insiders” started new press conference rumours on what felt like a weekly basis, I’d gotten to the point towards the end of...
News God of War Ragnarok PS5 Gameplay Is Godly, Features an Older Atreus
Odin beckons
Yes, it's officially named God of War Ragnarok! The massively anticipated sequel put in a big showing at Sony's latest PlayStation 5 event, and boy does it look good. The new trailer has a surprising amount of gameplay footage, and Atreus, Kratos' son, has aged a few years. As expected, this is very much a direct continuation of 2018's...

Speaking during the PlayStation Showcase's post-show interview, Eric Williams, director on the sequel, was...
News NBA 2K22 Is an Ankle Breaking 109GB on PS5, 100GB on PS4
Larger than life
Make some space, because NBA 2K22 is enormous on both PlayStation 5 and PS4 – just like its predecessors, we suppose. On the next-gen console, you’re looking at an eye-watering 108.897GB, with the last-gen version not far behind at 99.137GB. That’s a scary file size, so if you have purchased it from the PS Store, you’ll...
News Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Brings Venom to PS5 in 2023

News New Sony Team Firesprite Is Bigger Than Media Molecule, London Studio Combined
Liverpool studio is bigger than you think
Sony’s acquisition of The Persistence developer Firesprite this week certainly came as a surprise, but perhaps the even bigger shocker is the sheer scale of the team: totalling 250 employees, it’s actually larger in headcount than the platform holder’s two other UK-based first-party studios, Media...

Here’s the latest PlayStation 5 commercial: the City Where Play Has No Limits. That’s what Sony’s calling it, anyway – it’s not the catchiest of names.
