News Unreleased Psygnosis Shooter Launches on PS4, PS Vita Next Year
DICE's Project Hardcore originally made for Mega Drive
A story that’s sure to have editorial overlord Damien McFerran perspiring like former SEGA America chief Tom Kalinske at a 90s PlayStation press conference, Strictly Limited Games has announced that it’s resurrecting an old 1994 shooter that was originally created for the Mega Drive and Mega...
News Assassin's Creed Odyssey Has a Metal Gear Solid V-Style Recruitment System
Bag 'em
You know how in Metal Gear Solid V you can snag non-playable characters if you like the look of them? Adding them to your army back at base? Well you can kind of do that in Assassin's Creed Odyssey as well, as if the game didn't have enough to keep you occupied already. Much like The Phantom Pain, Odyssey populates the map with...
News Road Redemption Rides onto PS4 This Fall
Biker brawler
This is something we could definitely get behind. Road Redemption is billed as somewhat of a successor to Road Rash, that old school, violent racing game that saw bikers clobbering each other with various weapons. Going by...
News El Presidente Makes an Important Tropico 6 Announcement
Dictating the news
In non-politically motivated news, El Presidente has decided to delay Tropico 6 into January 2019. The game was originally scheduled to release later this year, but our wondrous ruler would like to reassure you that this has nothing to do with Red Dead Redemption 2. Or Fallout 76. Or Marvel’s Spider-Man. Or any of the other...
News Battle Bandits in PS4 Beat-'Em-Up Uppers This Year
No PS Vita version
As has been rumoured for a little while now, Marvelous is bringing former PlayStation Vita brawler Uppers to the PlayStation 4 this year.

News Skyrim VR Is PlayStation VR's Most Played Game
You can always depend on the Dragonborn
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim tends to clean up whatever appliance it’s released on, as cheekily acknowledged by the Amazon Echo edition. So popular is the sprawling RPG that director Todd Howard has hinted that if people want Bethesda to stop re-releasing it, they should bloody well stop buying it
News Divinity: Original Sin II Gameplay Trailer Tells You Everything You Need to Know

News FromSoftware's Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Stabs Gamescom 2018
In the back
Crikey, Gamescom 2018 is shaping up to be a cracker. We’ve already got confirmation that titles like Devil May Cry 5 will be playable at the Cologne convention, and here’s news that FromSoftware’s upcoming samurai outing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice will be joining it. “How you make the kill is incidental, as long as you make it...
News New Gameplay Trailer for Generation Zero Reminds You That the Game Exists
Zero recollection
Avalanche Studios has its work cut out right now. Just Cause 4 is out in December, and it's also working alongside id Software on RAGE 2. Oh, and don't forget about Generation Zero, the free roam, co-op, 80s, sci-fi shooter. This was announced during E3 2018 to a lukewarm reception, and it's flown under the radar ever since. This...
Hands On Yakuza: Kiwami 2 Could Be One of the Best Yakuza Games Yet
An extreme remake
Before Yakuza was niche on the PlayStation 3, it was even more niche on the PlayStation 2. The original Yakuza was undeniably rough around the edges and its somewhat shaky remake, Yakuza: Kiwami, reflected that. But with Yakuza 2, the series found a real foothold. Improved gameplay and a more complex, intriguing narrative pushed...
News Three More B-List Sonic Pals Join Team Sonic Racing Roster
Team Vector
Team Sonic Racing is shaping up fairly well, with interesting team-based mechanics injected into traditional kart racing goodness. One of the bigger question marks over the title is its roster of characters -- without SEGA's other properties to flesh it out, this game's lineup consists purely of Sonic's friends and foes, which isn't...
News Metro: Exodus Doesn't Know What Its Own Season Pass Contains
"Exact contents still to be determined"
Pre-orders for Metro: Exodus just went live over on the PlayStation Store, with a Gold edition advertising a complete version that bundles together the game, a dynamic theme, the official soundtrack, and the title's season pass for £74.99. What is a little suspect, however, is the description of the product...
News Warriors Orochi 4 English Gameplay Shows the Power of the Gods
Divine blessings
Koei Tecmo's released a new trailer for Warriors Orochi 4, this time showcasing a nice chunk of English gameplay.

The gameplay's going to look very familiar to...
News Battlefield V's Explosive New Trailer Teases Battle Royale Mode
Ring of fire
We said yesterday that Battlefield V's Gamescom trailer would be bombastic, and here it is, featuring all the explosions you could possibly squeeze into two minutes. It looks visually stunning and chaotic on a grand scale -- something of a series trademark. Perhaps the most notable thing about this trailer, however, is the last 20...
News The Quiet Man Makes Some Noise with New Trailer and Details
Cheaper than you might think
The Quiet Man was one of those announcements that got a little lost under the ruckus of E3 announcements a few months ago, but the PlayStation Blog is here to serve our needs with a new trailer, with you can watch above, and more details in general. Most importantly, the game has already been priced, coming in at...
News PSVR Passes Three Million Units Milestone
Almost 22 million pieces of software sold
PlayStation VR has sold over three million units worldwide since its launch in 2016, with over 21.9 million virtual reality games and experiences sold to date. That means each headset owner purchases an average of seven pieces of software, which is a pretty high attach rate. It shows that people who own the...
Joy to the world?
We Happy Few is a confusing game at first glance. It’s got the trappings, grand scale, and look of a AAA title. But dig a little deeper, and it’s really an indie title masquerading as one of the “big boys”. Given that just about everyone in the game wears a mask, this is a rather enjoyable double entendre, but the real...
News Shadow of the Tomb Raider's New Game + Mode Features New Abilities and Rewards
Welcome back to the jungle

Deals Don't Miss Your Chance to Grab a PS4 Pro 500 Million Limited Edition From Amazon UK Today
Hammer F5 at 10am
Update: Amazon hasn't been having the best of luck with this limited edition console.

However, this morning, Amazon is allowing more pre-orders, again from 10am...
News Days Gone Uses Realism to Up the Sense of Tension
Any mechanics out there?
The more we hear about Days Gone, the more Sony Bend seems to be leaning into the concept of survival. In this new video, directors John Garvin and Jeff Ross talk about realism, and how it helps set the title apart. For example, you’re going to need to fuel and repair your bike if you want to get about; fail to do so, and...
News Media Molecule Wants to Unlock Your Creativity with Dreams
Dreams can come true
Whenever we post something about Dreams, there’s always a comment from someone who says they haven’t got a creative bone in their body. Media Molecule doesn’t believe that: the reason it’s made this game is because it wants everyone to be able to make something. Whether you’re an artist, programmer, musician, or you...

News J. Jonah Jameson Lays into Spider-Man in New Open World Trailer
Not a fan
It seems that Marvel’s Spider-Man and Shadow of the Tomb Raider are locked in a furious war for trailer superiority, and while Lara Croft’s currently on top, Peter Parker ain’t giving up without a fight. This brand new open world trailer, debuting exclusively on IGN, reveals many of the sandbox activities you can expect to encounter...
News Lara Croft Thinks on Her Feet in Shadow of the Tomb Raider Trailer
There's a Lara blood shed
Here is Lara Croft doing Lara Croft things in a new Shadow of the Tomb Raider mini-trailer. We suspect that the clip, which is titled ‘Makeshift Arsenal’, is meant to highlight all of the creative combat options the heroine will have in battle – but it doesn’t paint her in the most mentally stable light, as she sets...
News Gamescom 2018 Awards Nominations Include Some Curious Entries
Just what is Project Mephisto?

Do the locomotion
There's no doubt that Marvel's Spider-Man is a big deal for Sony, and evidence of this has been slowly mounting in the run up to the PS4 exclusive's release in just a few weeks. The platform holder is putting up murals across the globe and recently released a cracking new trailer, but perhaps the most impressive exam
News Guns of Icarus Dev Turns to Kickstarter for PS Vita Brawler, Hamsterdam
Rodent rumble
Guns of Icarus couldn't be much more different from Muse Games' latest project. Hamsterdam is a cutesy, colourful brawler heading to Sony's maligned handheld, PS Vita. It stars hamster hero Pimm as he goes on an adventure to save his grandpa from the evil chinchilla, Marlo. Judging by the announcement trailer above, it looks as though...
News Fist of the North Star PS4 Combat Looks Like Yakuza Gone Mad
And it's bloody as heck
Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise is a Yakuza game at its core. It's the same developer, it has the same kind of structure -- complete with minigames -- and the combat looks like it builds directly upon the foundations laid by Kiryu and pals. Having said that, the combat looks properly mental in this latest trailer...
News Full Red Dead Redemption 2 Trailer Tech Analysis Reveals a Rather Stunning Open World
An in-depth look
The tech heads over at Digital Foundry have been picking the latest Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer apart, and based on the above analysis, they seem pretty impressed.

News Battlefield V Gamescom Trailer Explodes onto the Scene Tomorrow
"Devastation is coming"
Oh yeah, Battlefield V is on the way this October. It's difficult to keep track of all these big, end-of-year releases, as 2018's last few months are absolutely stacked. Anyway, DICE's World War 2 shooter looks set to appear at Gamescom 2018, as its trailer is being teased ahead of time. That's right, a brand new trailer...

News Japanese Sales Charts: Yakuza 3 PS4 Remaster Punches Its Way to Number 1
Kaz is back again
Whenever a new Yakuza game launches in Japan, it usually jumps straight to the top of the software charts, and the PlayStation 4 remaster of Yakuza 3 has done just that. That said, it only moved 26,000 copies, which is very low for a Yakuza title, but perhaps not unexpected given that it's a remaster. The wacky Fire Pro Wrestling...
News RAGE 2's Open World Map Will Be Fully Explorable From the Start
Anywhere and everywhere
Many of you reading this will have played open world games that aren't really all that open. Huge maps that are segmented into zones, and in order to gain access to those zones, you need to either work through the story or fulfil some kind of level requirement. Sound familiar? Apparently, this isn't something that RAGE 2...
News Assassin's Creed Odyssey Won't Make You Grind Side Quests to Level Up
Lots of other stuff to do
We really liked Assassin's Creed Origins, going as far to say that it's just about the best game in the series, but a common criticism of last year's outing centred around its levelling system. Parts of its huge open world would be all but inaccessible due to high level enemies, and completing side quest after side quest...

News Sounds Like It's Time for TimeSplitters 4 as Koch Media Acquires Licence
Future perfect
The TimeSplitters series was beloved back on the PlayStation 2, but it sadly fell by the wayside as Free Radical Design began to struggle.

Fair play to Ubisoft and Rainbow Six: Siege, because it’s blossomed into one of the biggest first-person shooters in a very competitive market.

News Rainbow Six Inspired PSVR FPS Firewall Zero Hour Tours the Globe
Eyes up
Firewall Zero Hour will include three locations at launch: the UK, the Middle East, and Russia.

News Sony's Readying an Entire Line of FIFA 19 PS4 Bundles in Europe
Sweet six
Sony’s got to be rubbing its hands together right now.

The company’s also...
News A Crazy Amount of Research Has Gone into Ghost of Tsushima
Dev talks world building
PlayStation 4 exclusive Ghost of Tsushima wowed a lot of people when it appeared at E3 earlier this year.

News Enjoy a Second Helping of Overcooked 2 When New Game + Arrives on PS4
Michelin star
Overcooked 2 is a delightful, fun multiplayer game to enjoy with your friends, but it can also provide a very stern challenge, especially for those chefs looking to reach a three star rating in every kitchen. If you were able to breeze through the game's tricky levels, however, Team 17 has cooked up a New Game + mode, which will be...
News Patrick Stewart Lends His Voice to Touching Indie Tale My Memory of Us
Marches to PS4 in October
My Memory of Us looks to be a rather touching indie title that's inspired by the events of World War II, with the setting itself representing Warsaw just before the war began. It follows the story of two young children who are forced to navigate their suddenly sinister home. Logic puzzles and exploration are the name of...
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Turn-based tactical shooters have garnered quite the cult following on PC and consoles in recent years. The XCOM games came out of nowhere to reboot an old franchise, and offer addictive isometric battles and deep levels of customisation. Many have tried to jump on the bandwagon and clone Firaxis’ formula, but few...
Sound of the underground
Bizarre, occasionally obnoxious combinations are at the core of any classic point-and-click game, but Wailing Heights brings some sense to the nonsense by requiring you to write songs about its cast of daisy pushing personalities. Set in a kind of town centre for the dead, you play as Francis Finkelstein, the Scouse...

Review The Walking Dead: The Final Season - Episode 1 (PS4)
Stayin' alive
The Walking Dead: The Final Season begins with a beautifully animated synopsis of Clementine’s story so far, and it’s testament to the insignificance of the previous season that no more than ten seconds are spent recapping its events. Telltale’s been through a bit of a rough patch behind-the-scenes, but there are signs in Episode...

Out of your mind
The main character in sci-fi adventure title State of Mind is a bit of a dick. Award winning journalist he may be, but Richard Nolan is not a very likeable character at all.
