Gamescom 2018 Watch Fury Take on Envy in New Darksiders III Gameplay
Apocalypse now
Don't forget guys and gals -- Darksiders III comes out in November. There doesn't seem to be quite as much buzz around this game as some of the other big titles launching before Christmas, but the Darksiders games are an enjoyable bunch. As we know, this entry focuses on another of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, namely Fury, and...

Cash for Cool Z

Gamescom 2018 Metro Exodus Looks Like a Seasonal Treat
Well, maybe not treat
Metro Exodus is looking decent, eh? The demo being shown at Gamescom 2018 focuses on an autumn environment, but the full campaign will cycle through all of the seasons, which should result in some visual variety as you journey apocalyptic Russia. There’ll be a full day-and-night cycle, too, which will alter the kind of...
News Shadow of the Tomb Raider Shows How Lara Croft Can Be Smart and Resourceful
Brain of Britain
Lara Croft’s a capable warrior and an adept athlete, this much we know – but for Shadow of the Tomb Raider’s 10,000th trailer, Square Enix wants to show how smart and resourceful the heroine can be. And to be honest, she’s a bloody genius: she can turn beetles (!!!) into poison arrows and eat plants to slow down time. Man,...
News Strange Brigade's Launch Trailer Loves Its Alliteration
Video won't leave you vexed
Co-op shooter Strange Brigade’s going to have its work cut-out standing out in a stacked release schedule, but kudos to Rebellion who’s really putting in the time to illustrate what makes its 1930’s affair unique. This trailer is particularly great, neatly showcasing all of the features in the game, while the...
Gamescom 2018 Cyberpunk 2077 Is Playable from Start to Finish
But it's far from done
Cyberpunk 2077 is a while off yet, and we've known that for quite some time. There's been on and off speculation about it being an eventual PS5 game, and developer CD Projekt Red basically keeps telling us that it'll be ready when it's ready -- simple as that. But how far along is the project, really? Well, according to...

News Take Advantage of PS4's Multimedia Apps with the New Cloud Remote
TV TV TV
Perhaps one of the most exciting announcements of this week is this new multimedia remote control for PS4, known as the Cloud Remote. Seemingly only available in the US, the Cloud Remote is essentially a universal TV remote that is compatible with the console's various media apps, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Hulu. According to a new...
News Destiny 2: Forsaken Cinematic Trailer Shows Cayde's Last Stand
Rest in pieces
If you're one of those weirdos who's actually invested in Destiny's "story", then you'll want to give this latest cinematic trailer for Destiny 2: Forsaken a watch. We're just trolling, of course -- it's a pretty cool trailer. As has been revealed numerous times now, the expansion -- which is due out next month -- sees the death of...
Gamescom 2018 Dark Souls Is Done, FromSoftware Reiterates
Wants to create fresh experiences
Ever wondered why Bandai Namco has started to milk the Dark Souls series? It looks like its relationship with developer FromSoftware may be over, as the studio moves to pastures new. Speaking with VG247 at Gamescom 2018 this week, communications director Yasuhiro Kitao said that the studio plans to make “a variety...
Gamescom 2018 Take a Sneaky Look at Metro: Exodus Gameplay Footage
Kill or be killed
We've already been treated to an atmospheric new trailer for Metro: Exodus during this year's Gamescom, but publisher Deep Silver hasn't stopped there. It's also released a decent amount of beta gameplay footage, and it's looking great. The above video cuts from one scenario to another, showing us things like rescuing a man from...
News A Fifth Character Joins Strange Brigade's Roster Ahead of Launch on PS4
Spiffing
The 1930s co-op shooter Strange Brigade is almost upon us, and with it comes the obligatory launch trailer. The promising third person supernatural shooter has a great style and a unique vibe that we've come to rather enjoy, but something that hasn't been discussed too much is its small group of...
Gamescom 2018 Bless Unleashed Announced, Korean-Made Free-to-Play MMORPG
But it's on Xbox first
Bandai Namco has announced that it'll be publishing a free-to-play MMORPG named Bless Unleashed. It's being developed by Korean studio Neowiz, and from what we understand, it's potentially just a console version of Bless Online, a PC MMO that was released earlier this year. Bless Unleashed is due in 2019, and although there's...
News Red Dead Redemption 2 PS4 Previews Appear to Be Incoming
Go West
The next issue of Official PlayStation Magazine will feature a hands on preview for Red Dead Redemption 2, meaning that we’re just about a month away from learning more about how Rockstar’s latest plays.

News Raiders of the Broken Planet Relaunches on PS4 as Spacelords, Goes Free-to-Play
One year after release
You may or may not remember a team-based shooter called Raiders of the Broken Planet. It launched on PlayStation 4 all the way back in September of last year, and to be totally honest, we didn't even realise. But we're going to assume that we haven't missed much, as the game's actually relaunched under a new name. It's now...
Gamescom 2018 Twin Mirror Channels the Spirit of Life Is Strange
All in the mind
Twin Mirror is a DONTNOD game alright. Soft colour palette? Check. Atrocious voice acting? Check. American characters written by French people? Check. Weird sci-fi elements? Check. If we hadn’t already seen the trailer to Life Is Strange 2, we’d be convinced this was the sequel instead – even if it is lacking in the teenager...
Gamescom 2018 Bandai Namco Defends Decision to Add Tira as DLC in SoulCalibur VI
Ring of death
Tira is returning in SoulCalibur VI, but only as DLC. You unlock her if you buy the season pass, or you can purchase her individually. Almost immediately after the announcement, there was outrage. Fans aren't happy that a much requested character is stuck behind an additional paywall at launch, and we can't blame them. It's an...
Gamescom 2018 Embrace the Madness with Call of Cthulhu Gameplay
Lovecraft overload
Frogwares’ forthcoming The Sinking City looks awesome, and so too does Cyanide’s Call of Cthulhu. Both are taking different approaches to H.P. Lovecraft’s cosmic universe, with this game adopting a first-person perspective. You play as an investigator named Edward Pierce who’s sent to an island named Darkwater, which is...
News Deacon Dispatches the Undead in Days Gone PS4 Screens
What a Saint
Sony Bend has uploaded some new screenshots of Days Gone to its official website, and the title is looking pretty tasty as it edges closer to launch. The images mostly focus on protagonist Deacon St. John laying waste to Freakers, but there are also shots of him riding his hog and just generally running around. Our guess is that this...
Gamescom 2018 Despite DLC, The Full SoulCalibur VI Character Roster Hasn't Been Revealed Yet
Just to clarify
So the other day, Bandai Namco announced the first DLC character for SoulCalibur VI. Fan-favourite fighter Tira will be unlocked if you buy the game's season pass, or she can be purchased separately. As you'd expect, this didn't go down well with fans of the franchise. A returning character being stuck behind an additional paywall?...
Gamescom 2018 Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Looks Superb in New Gameplay Video
Thank you for releasing me
Just like Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy before it, Spyro: Reignited Trilogy promises to be a nostalgia gut punch. This new gameplay footage, going through a stage from each of the three games, looks absolutely spot on, with everything from the level layouts to the sound effects reproduced wonderfully. It's clear...
Gamescom 2018 Desperados III Gameplay Looks a Lot Like Shadow Tactics
And that's fine by us
THQ Nordic's Desperados III was a surprise announcement during Gamescom 2018's opening ceremony, as the series has been dormant since 2007's Helldorado. Given the team behind this game produced Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, we had a feeling it would be in safe hands, and this new gameplay is looking pretty good...
Gamescom 2018 Get Up to Speed with New Team Sonic Racing Gameplay and Details
Need for speed
We're cautiously optimistic about Team Sonic Racing. Early gameplay footage has looked bright, cheerful, and fun, and with Sumo Digital at the helm, it's in safe hands. We're still unsure, however, on whether it'll measure up to Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, a wonderful kart racer with lots of variety thanks to its...
Guide Shenmue II - How to Win 5 Arm Wrestling Matches
Strongarm
One of the first things that will happen when you arrive in Aberdeen in Shenmue II is that you’ll be challenged to an arm wrestling match. This first bout is easy to win, and you’ll be awarded the ‘Challenger’ Trophy for your efforts. Each time you win, however, the stakes will be increased – and winning the $50 bet is almost...
Guide Shenmue II - Master the Wild Throw Move from the Kung Fu School in Wan Chai
Back to school
Shenmue and its successor Shenmue II are essentially coming of age stories, and protagonist Ryo Hazuki will absorb a ton of information across the course of both games. One thing that the character learns are new moves, but these can be missable at times. One move in particular, the Wild Throw, will be taught to you at the Guang...
Guide Shenmue II - How to Straighten the Man's Sign Near the Come Over Guest House in Wan Chai

Gamescom 2018 Man of Medan Is the Dumb Until Dawn Successor You Wanted
Dive in
Ah, Supermassive Games – after all those spin-offs, we’d forgotten your unique brand of campy horror. The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan looks every inch the Until Dawn successor in this gameplay demo from Gamescom 2018, trading on daft dialogue exchanges and borderline unfair jump scares. We love it already. The gameplay seems...
News July 2018 NPD: PS4 Can't Make It Six Months in a Row
Still the best-selling system of the year, though
We figured that the PlayStation 4, in its fifth term, was going to make way for the newer Nintendo Switch in the NPD hardware charts this year, but it’s actually maintained its position at the top for much of 2018 thus far. A slow July means that it couldn’t quite make it six months in a row,...
News Promising PSVR Adventure Torn Opens Up Next Week
'Nothing's fine, I'm torn'
PlayStation VR is arguably at its best when it’s immersing you in fascinating fantasy worlds, and Torn seems to have that down to a tee. Created by Aspyr Media and written by BioShock veteran Susan O’Connor, this unsettling adventure through an abandoned mansion has been inspired by the Twilight Zone and Black Mirror...
News The Ultimate PS4 Pro Controller Will Cost You a Pretty Penny
But it's packing some killer features
Sony recognises there’s a reasonable market for a “professional” grade DualShock 4 controller, but it’s one it’s happy to let third-party manufacturers supply. Razer, perhaps realising that it’ll be dining on caviar if it keeps pumping these out, is only too happy to oblige, so here’s the Razer...
Gamescom 2018 Claire Redfield Kicks Ass in Resident Evil 2 Gameplay
Bloody Birkin
Hot on the heels of Capcom’s complete Claire Redfield blowout this week, new footage has emerged at Gamescom 2018 showing off her portion of Resident Evil 2’s campaign. In this first Dengeki Online video, the heroine comes face-to-face with Sherry Birkin and her father – although fans of the original will know that the latter...
News Sony's Unties Label Is Publishing More Switch Games Than PS4 Ones
Signs several new titles
Sony Music Entertainment may wholly own indie publishing label Unties, but the fact that it’s publishing more Nintendo Switch than PlayStation 4 titles these days doesn’t make for great optics. The subsidiary – which is totally independent of Sony Interactive Entertainment – has signed a bunch of new games, and is...
News Knowledge Is Power: Decades Turns Your Living Room into a Game Show in November
Final answer

That's more like it
Forget that Xbox One video you saw yesterday, this is the real deal as far as this website is concerned.

Needless to say that it's the same demo many of you will have already seen, but...
News PS4 Passes 7 Million Units Sold in Japan
Not too bad
Taking the latest Japanese sales charts into account, the PlayStation 4 has passed 7 million units sold in Japan. Sony's current-gen console launched on the 22nd February, 2014 in the Land of the Rising Sun, so it's been available for around four and a half years at this point. It's no secret that home console sales aren't nearly...
Gamescom 2018 New Screenshots and Info Prove Left Alive Is Still Coming
Still alive
You'd be forgiven for forgetting about Left Alive, Square Enix's Front Mission successor. After being announced at Tokyo Game Show last year, it fell into obscurity, but according to a new report from DualShockers, the game is still very much in development. The sur
Gamescom 2018 The Surge 2 Gameplay Trailer Takes the Fight Outside
Mech-ing improvements
The Surge was a pretty divisive game when it launched last year. We weren't particularly enamoured with it, but some enjoyed its sci-fi spin on Dark Souls-esque gameplay. Focus Home Interactive has released a trailer for The Surge 2, and it looks like there will be a greater variety of environments to fight through. The first...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Sees a Slight Boost During Holiday Week
And that's about it
It's been a slow week for video games in Japan due to Obon, one of the nation's traditional holidays. As such, there were no new software releases.

Speaking to Gamespot at Gamescom 2018,...
If at first you don’t succeed
At Death’s Gambit's main menu, we oversee the aftermath of chaos. "What could possibly have happened here?" we think to ourselves as the music swells.

News 24 Minutes of Assassin's Creed Odyssey Gameplay Isn't Quite Historically Accurate
Mythical creatures, anyone?
With Assassin's Creed Origins and its Curse of the Pharaohs expansion, Ubisoft let the dev team off its leash, and the result was one of the most creative, exciting adventures in the entire franchise. However, it was only an expansion and not a full game, unlike Assassin's Creed Odyssey, which is bringing hefty...
News Code Vein Lashes Out with 10 Minutes of New PS4 Gameplay
Blood lust
Code Vein may have been delayed into 2019, but that hasn't stopped PlayStation Access from posting more uncut gameplay. Bandai Namco's Souls-esque action RPG still looks quite promising in this latest PlayStation 4 footage, as we run through a rather rough environment that's populated by some pretty beastly demons. How do you...
News PS4 Spotted in PUBG Video Leading to Fresh Speculation

Gamescom 2018 Assassin's Creed Isn't Back on a Yearly Schedule, Says Ubisoft
Odyssey to be supported through 2019
With Assassin's Creed Odyssey following hot on the heels of Assassin's Creed Origins, many are worried that Ubisoft was bringing the series back to an annual release schedule after taking a year's break. The extra time clearly paid off for Origins, but is the publisher hoping to cash in on that success by pumping...

News A Bunch of New Sales and Offers on European PS Store Bring Big Savings
Summer Sale winds down
The European PlayStation Store's ridiculous Summer Sale has finally drawn to a close, which means we can now have a bit of a breather from the constant barrage of offers.

Gamescom 2018 Watch 16 Minutes of Uncut Gameplay from A Plague Tale: Innocence
Rats
Yet another game that's maybe not getting enough attention is A Plague Tale: Innocence from Focus Home Interactive. It's an adventure game set in a medieval, war struck France that's also fallen prey to disease thanks to a massive rat infestation. It's a pretty bleak premise, and this brand new gameplay footage reinforces that. It's the best...

A new home
We're always happy to give these comical Fallout trailers a watch, and the latest video fresh from Gamescom 2018 is a good laugh.

Gamescom 2018 The Division 2 Takes Aim with a Quick In-Game Trailer
Squad up
Ubisoft's released a new trailer for The Division 2. It's a short one but potentially sweet if you're feeling the hype for this promising looking sequel.

Through cybernetic eyes
CD Projekt Red has released four new Cyberpunk 2077 screenshots. They're supposedly in-engine and representative of what the the finish game will look like.

News PS4 Firmware Update 6.0 Seems to Finally Change PlayStation Store Search Function
About bloody time
The search functionality on the PlayStation Store is terrible, and it has been since the PlayStation 4 launched almost five years ago.
