The most pre-ordered, too
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a PlayStation Network record breaker.

News Battlefield V's Microtransactions Are for Cosmetics Only, DICE Promises

News Chill Out with Some Brand New Tetris Effect PSVR Gameplay
Doing lines
Since the (brilliant) reveal trailer for Tetris Effect, we've not seen a huge amount of the trippy title from Enhance Games.

News Spyro and Crash Bandicoot Trilogy Bundle Spotted on Retailer Websites
Together at last
Now that we think of it, a Crash and Spyro game bundle makes so much sense. As Activision is responsible for the two beloved platformer characters, and seeing as they both have had their original trilogy of adventures remade for PS4, why not put them together? While nothing official has yet been said about such a product, multiple...
News Devil May Cry 5 Earns the Approval of Fans in New Trailer
Smokin' sexy style
There have been some real ups and downs in the Devil May Cry series. The second game is widely recognised as kinda bad, while Ninja Theory's DmC: Devil May Cry is the divisive black sheep.

Friends forever
Fallout 76 is taking the property in a very different direction, going all-in on online multiplayer.

News There's a Big Ol' Bully Reference in Red Dead Redemption 2
Canis Canem Edit
Rockstar hasn't forgotten about Bully, because there's a clear reference to the developer's much loved PlayStation 2 title in Red Dead Redemption 2. The spoiler-free version is that the phrase 'Canis Canem Edit' appears rather blatantly at one point in the open world adventure -- Canis Canem Edit being the name Bully was released...

News Battlefield V's Release Schedule Is So Ridiculous There's Now a Guide
You can play up to 11 days early
We recently ran a Soapbox about how bigger games now have two release dates, but Battlefield V has four or more. The official release date is 20th November, but if you order the Deluxe Edition you can play from 15th November. That’s not massively different to Assassin’s Creed Odyssey or Shadow of the Tomb Raider...
News Sony Underfire in Renewed PS4 Censorship Row
More games changed on PlayStation
Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal was recently delayed on the PlayStation 4 as the platform holder asked publisher XSEED to remove a controversial mode which effectively allows you to fondle its cast of questionably aged virtual characters against their will.

If you fancy bringing gaming to your Halloween...
News Fans Are Fuming with Sony's Red Dead Redemption 2 Commercial
Play in 4K on PS4 Pro*
Red Dead Redemption 2 uses checkerboard rendering to achieve a 4K image on the PlayStation 4 Pro, but unlike exclusives such as Horizon: Zero Dawn or God of War, the results leave a little to be desired. At the expense of getting too technical, the reconstruction technique is used to create an Ultra HD image without requiring...

Review Nickelodeon Kart Racers - A Disappointing Drive
Slime time
Here's a positive spin: there are definitely kart racing games on the PlayStation 4 with worse concepts than one based on Nickelodeon cartoons. It's sadly a sub-genre criminally underserved this generation, and most of the examples on offer don't exactly fire the imagination. Unfortunately, Nickelodeon Kart Racers falls into this camp as...
News MediEvil PS4 Is a Full Remake, Says Shawn Layden
Not just a remaster
Since the announcement of MediEvil on PS4 at last year's PSX, it hasn't been entirely clear whether Sir Dan's revamped adventure would be a simple remaster or a full-blown remake.

News New Assassin's Creed Odyssey Trophies Point to Free Content Update Coming Soon
The Lost Tales of Greece, we assume
Well this is interesting. Ubisoft seems to have added two new Trophies to Assassin's Creed Odyssey. They fall under a category called 'Additional Feats', and we assume that they're part of some free content drop that the developer has planned. It's probably something to do with 'The Lost Tales of Greece' -- a...

Soapbox Don't Sleep on the Hitman Series Or Its Upcoming Sequel
Lloyd loves strangling strangers
The Hitman franchise is an anomaly. It's a game focused on the act of killing, but it's not a shooter. Instead, it's a puzzle game with dozens of variables and parameters. It's a stealth game where you can walk out in the open. It's a series with not one but two (pretty dismal) Hollywood adaptations, with a stoic...
News Helldivers Receives 'A New Hell' Update on PS4, Features New Weapons and Enemies
Hell yeah
Remember Helldivers? It's a fun, tough top-down shooter with a lot going for it, especially in co-op multiplayer.

News Fear Effect Reinvented's Still Underdressed on PS4
Bath bombshell
Fear Effect certainly didn’t hide away its female star Hana, and fans of the PSone original may remember the character prancing around with a pistol in nothing but a bath robe. To be honest, we were never clear whether she was wearing a dress or a towel, and it’s no less obvious in PlayStation 4 re-imagining Fear Effect...
News Team Sonic Racing Delayed, Going Back to the Pits for Several Months
Stuck in traffic
We weren't exactly enamoured with Team Sonic Racing when we played it at this year's EGX. It lacks the nostalgic sparkle of Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing Transformed, and its team-based mechanics seem undercooked. It wasn't going to live up to the same standard as its predecessor, in other words. SEGA seems to feel the same way,...

Review Marvel's Spider-Man: The Heist - More of the Same
With great power comes great repetition?
Publishers are pretty risk-averse when it comes to a major new release – and for good reason. Video games are expensive, and you don't want anything getting in the way of a return on that lofty sum of cash you've put forward just to make your game happen. But surely DLC gives you a chance to tear up the...

And standard PS4 owners shouldn't worry
Red Dead Redemption’s performance on the PlayStation 3 caused meltdowns back in the day, after a fledgling Digital Foundry revealed that it had less grass on Sony’s last-gen machine. The differences between devices have been less stark this generation – even when the PlayStation 4 was comfortably on top...
Review Red Dead Redemption 2 - Rockstar's Best Ever Game
Dutch courage
It's almost hard to believe that the first Red Dead Redemption released more than eight years ago.
