The hype continues
Oh God, the hype train is really leaving the station now. Sony refuses to cool its jets ahead of its Paris Games Week 2017 press conference on Monday, this time writing on the official US PlayStation Blog: "E3 was only half the story." Yikes!

Coming off the back of its release date announcement, it turns out that Metal Gear Survive is an online-only game.

It's not intended for us
In a recent livestream for the upcoming Sonic Forces, it was announced that those looking for some hands on time prior to release will have their wishes fulfilled in the form of a demo, which is actually out now in Japan. However, the sampler -- which restricts play time to a minute -- won't be made available outside of the...

News Ninja Theory's Hellblade Has Exceeded Sales Expectations
But hasn't broken even yet
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice may not be the best game of the year, but it’s certainly one of the most memorable. Ninja Theory’s tale of mental illness was harrowing and hard to parse – but it was effective in using the medium to convey a very specific state of mind. So it’s refreshing to hear that it’s...
Guide The Promising New PS4 Games of November 2017
That time of year
October and November: the two months of the year that are typically associated with the inevitable holiday rush of big blockbuster releases. October turned out to be a pretty great time for PlayStation 4 owners, but how is November shaping up? Well, we daresay there isn't quite as much variety on display here, but we're still...

Looking killer?
Crime drama L.A. Noire will make its grand comeback on the PlayStation 4 next month, and to build a little enthusiasm, publisher Rockstar Games has released a new trailer of the title running in 4K on the PS4 Pro. To be honest, despite the significant bump in resolution, this game is still looking very much like it belongs in the...
News Dynasty Warriors 9 Conquers a Japanese Release Date on PS4
One down
Koei Tecmo has slapped a Japanese release date on Dynasty Warriors 9. The open world hack and slasher -- which is a PlayStation 4 exclusive in the Land of the Rising Sun -- will take to the battlefield on the 8th February, 2018. We imagine that date won't mean much to most of you reading this, but its confirmation does tell us that...
Round Up Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus PS4 Reviews Serve Up Strawberry Milkshake
And it's delicious
The follow-up to MachineGames’ acclaimed first-person shooter Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus has arrived to take out some Nazi tail, and reviews are beginning to trickle out like blood from protagonist B.J. Blazkowicz’s nose. We’ve got our strongest soldier Alex Stinton working his way through this one as we type, so...
News Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age Has Passed 1 Million Shipped and Sold Digitally on PS4
Not bad for a PS2 remaster
Square Enix has rather happily announced that Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age has shifted over one million copies worldwide. That includes both shipped numbers and digital sales on PlayStation 4. Not too bad for a remastered PlayStation 2 game that's only been on the market for about three months. When we...
Round Up Assassin's Creed Origins PS4 Reviews Unwrapped Ahead of Release
By 'eck
After a pretty lengthy hiatus, Assassin’s Creed Origins plots a return for Ubisoft’s flagship open world franchise. But can it reclaim the property’s past glories? A slew of reviews are in ahead of the Egyptian adventure’s release this week; our copy was clearly intercepted by carrier pigeon (or eagle, whatever) so our verdict is...

Splat attack
Oozy ink-‘em-up de Blob will splat the PlayStation 4 on 14th November in North America and 17th November in Europe, publisher THQ Nordic has revealed.

News Spider-Man PS4 Could Be Swinging into Paris Games Week
Thwip
Well, it looks like our Paris Games Week 2017 predictions may already be in tatters, as Spider-Man could very well be swinging into the show.

News Insomniac Wants to Find a Publisher for a Sunset Overdrive Sequel
What do you reckon, Sony?
In many ways, Spider-Man will likely end up being the spiritual successor to Insomniac Games’ well-liked Xbox One exclusive Sunset Overdrive, as it’s being made by much of the same team and is similarly all about open world traversal. But that hasn’t stopped the Burbank-based studio from signalling that it’s...

It headshots the West on the 23rd February, 2018. The publisher's also spilled some more...

News Japanese Sales Charts: Gran Turismo Sport Speeds Straight to the Top
The Evil Within 2 makes top three
Gran Turismo Sport tore up the UK charts earlier this week, and now it's busy doing a victory lap in Japan. The PlayStation 4 exclusive sped straight to number one in the Land of the Rising Sun, shifting just over 150,000 copies. Not a bad result by any means, but the series continues its decline in its native...
News Most Video Game Projects Fail on Kickstarter
Table-top games now rule the roost
If you’re planning to fund a video game on Kickstarter – and judging by the spam in our inbox, plenty of developers are still trying – then you may want to consider converting the project into some kind of table-top title.

Whodunnit?
Republished on Wednesday 25th October 2017: We're bringing this preview back from the archives following the release of Hidden Agenda in North America. The original text follows.

Boo-tiful
The second week of the North American PlayStation Store’s sale has a few discounts worth screaming about, like Dead by Daylight ($17.99), Prey ($26.79), and The Last of Us: Remastered ($9.99). Once again we’re quoting PlayStation Plus prices, as members will score the best deals. Honestly, The Order: 1886 is probably worth a shot at
News September 2017 NPD: PS4 Leads Consumer Spend as Destiny 2 Outshoots All
Bungie jump
It’s not particularly trendy to talk about PlayStation 4 hardware sales as it continues its comfortable march to 100 million units, but even though the Nintendo Switch is starting to exert some authority on the NPD, it’s perhaps worth reiterating that Sony’s system is still faring very well as it nears its fourth birthday...
News FuturLab Announces New PlayStation VR Title, Mini-Mech Mayhem
Buddy up
The minds behind Velocity 2X have taken to the PlayStation Blog today to unveil their latest game, Mini-Mech Mayhem.

Bandai Namco announced the date alongside a pretty cool trailer, which you can watch above. Hacker's Memory promises more digimon...
News Metal Gear Survive Lives On, Konami Teases Announcement for Tomorrow
Get your pointy sticks out
Yep, Metal Gear Survive still exists. It's been a while since we last heard about the incredibly divisive Metal Gear spin-off, and to be brutally honest, we're sure many series fans would have been more than happy to keep it that way. Alas, Konami is teasing an announcement for tomorrow, the 25th October. A tweet from the...
Review Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon (PS4)
Let’s get jiggly with it
Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon is an action role-playing title set an unspecified number of years after the first game.

News Persona 5 Ultimate Edition Hits the PlayStation Store Today at an Outrageous Price
Bundles all DLC
Atlus is stealth releasing something called Persona 5 Ultimate Edition on the PlayStation Store today, but don't get too excited -- this isn't some kind of updated version of the amazing role-playing release (although we're sure that'll be arriving at some point down the line). The Ultimate Edition bundles all of the game's...

News PS4 Firmware Update 5.01 Arrives to Squash Some Bugs
Available to download now
There’s a new PlayStation 4 firmware update available now – but don’t get too excited, as it merely improves system software performance. The patch – dubbed 5.01 for those keeping count – weighs in at 374MB but appears to be optional, so you won’t necessarily need to have it installed if you want to connect to...
News Rockstars Doubles Down on Single Player Games
Despite the success of Grand Theft Auto Online
Grand Theft Auto Online, the multiplayer portion of Grand Theft Auto V, has been an unrivalled success story for Rockstar Games – but with triumph comes cause for concern.

Worth a Halfpenny
Rugby’s had a turbulent history with video games to say the least, and with publisher Bigben Interactive’s last two attempts (Rugby 15 and Rugby World Cup 2015) getting utterly battered by critics, the French company has taken a couple of years off and come back with Rugby 18 – developed for the first
Review No Heroes Allowed! VR (PS4)
Not bad, man
No Heroes Allowed! is one of those strange, first-party PlayStation properties that keeps getting new entries without anyone really batting an eyelid. Having started life on the PlayStation Portable, the irreverent What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord? series has spawned all sorts of silly spin-offs – including a surprisingly...
News Work Never Ends in Job Simulator's Free Infinite Overtime Update
Like that Saturdays song
Ordinarily we’d crib at unpaid overtime, but in the case of the delightful Job Simulator we’re down for a few additional hours of hard labour. Available today as part of a free update, the new mode will see you working the “never-ending night shift”, as you’re assigned an endless stream of randomised tasks in...
News Hidden Agenda Reveals How Its Unique Story Unfolds
Who's lying?
Hidden Agenda is a narrative-based game with branching paths similar to Until Dawn, but it has a twist: local multiplayer. As part of Sony’s PlayLink line, the game sees you using smartphones to control the story with up to six players, with tactical voting and disagreements all playing a part in which direction the plot goes. In...

News Star Wars Battlefront 2's Single Player Campaign Will Last 5 to 7 Hours
Apparently
So, Star Wars Battlefront 2 has a single player campaign, and by most accounts, it's looking quite promising -- but how long will it take you to complete?

News UK Sales Charts: Gran Turismo Sport Triples Forza 7's Launch
Races ahead of Gran Turismo 6

Review AER: Memories of Old (PS4)
Sky high
AER: Memories of Old is like the beautiful lovechild of Journey and The Legend of Zelda. It has the unmistakable indie whimsy of the former and takes clear inspiration from the latter. It's a simple but wonderful little experience, focusing on exploration, light puzzle elements, and relaxation. AER guides you through a broken yet peaceful...
God almighty
Even ignoring the fact that Megaton Rainfall was created by one man, this game is a technical marvel on the scale of a No Man’s Sky or other similar procedurally generated games. You play as Superman in all but name, and your task is to protect the Earth – amid brief vacations among the stars, of course. Sound fun? It’s actually...
Free for all
Fighting games are difficult to get into. To be truly good at a Tekken, or a Street Fighter, you need to have grown up alongside them, learning their systems, and mastering at least one of their characters’ movesets. In order to stay competitive, you need to keep playing, studying minute details like the number of frames in an...
News Resident Evil 7 Sneaks Past Its Sales Target Several Months Late
Better late than never
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, one of the better games of the year in this author’s humble opinion, has ghosted past its sales target – albeit several months late.

Review South Park: The Fractured But Whole (PS4)
Fart attack
Given the mire that mankind currently finds itself in, we should probably applaud Trey Parker and Matt Stone's scattershot, omnilateral approach to satire in South Park: The Fractured But Whole, a game which mercilessly skewers all facets of modern life. Regardless of which side of the political spectrum you align with, your...
Review Gran Turismo Sport (PS4)
U-turn
We’ve always taken Gran Turismo’s slogan, “the real driving simulator”, to be something of an underhand admission. Polyphony Digital’s simulation series may have repeatedly set standards in the physics department, but it’s never been much of a racer really – even if flinging a flat-tired Fiat Panda around the auburn Autumn Ring...

The darkness recedes
If you were looking forward to teaming up with your buddies and taking down behemoths in Final Fantasy XV's multiplayer expansion at the end of this month, you had better sit down -- we've got some bad news. Titled Comrades, the add-on has been delayed... Into early November. Catastrophic. Joking aside, the slight delay is...
Review Battle Chasers: Nightwar (PS4)
Up all night to get lucky
Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a turn based role-playing game with an emphasis on traversing randomised dungeons. However, it's not an endless loot-'em-up dungeon crawler – it has a story, a cool cast of characters, and an interesting game world to explore. It's also got a gorgeous art style and a fantastic soundtrack...

In case you don’t already know, you’ll be assuming the role of Commander Iden Versio, as...
Review Life Is Strange: Before the Storm - Episode 2: Brave New World (PS4)
What's past is prologue
Life Is Strange, with its unique brand of teen drama, was already a franchise with a very distinctive vibe – but developer Deck Nine has done a great job leaning into that with its prequel side-story Before the Storm. The game’s rip-roaring first episode saw rebellious protagonist Chloe Price playing a role-playing game...
News Sony Finally Makes a Great Looking PS4 Controller, Only Releases It in Select Areas
Orange you glad?
Look at that beautiful PlayStation 4 controller. Phwoar! Granted, orange is a colour that doesn't always work, but paired with that lovely dark blue, it makes this one of our favourite DualShock 4s that Sony has ever produced. It's approximately one thousand times better than the cheap tie-in controllers that it's been...
News Moonlighter Is a PS4 Action RPG You Should Definitely Keep an Eye On

Wrap up warm
Brrrrr! We’d love to say it’s getting hot in here, but these new screenshots of Horizon: Zero Dawn’s fast-approaching expansion The Frozen Wilds are giving us chills. The cool-looking add-on will whisk fiery protagonist Aloy away to a brand new ice-capped landscape, where she’ll encounter new characters – and presumably new...

Until Dawn dev's latest pushed back
Supermassive Games’ party-based crime drama Hidden Agenda has been pushed back until 22nd November in Europe, as has trivia title Knowledge Is Power and karaoke sim SingStar Celebration.

Heads up, Guardians: Destiny 2 will be down for yet more maintenance later today.

Indeed, here in the Old World, the...
News God of War Director Speaks Out in Defence of Single Player Games
But is the market moving in a different direction?
Visceral Games’ closure yesterday has raised questions in the industry about the state of the single player game. In a statement, EA seemed to indicate that the Star Wars title the former Dead Space developer was making was being re-tooled in order to boast an open world and (presumably) on
Hands On How Does Gran Turismo Sport Fare with PlayStation VR?
Ups and downs
Around about a year ago, we hopped inside Gran Turismo Sport’s cockpit with a PlayStation VR headset on and walked away somewhat unimpressed. We felt that the game looked fine in virtual reality – better than DriveClub VR, we commented at the time – but we weren’t exactly blown away, especially after seeing the title running in...

News Japanese Sales Charts: Shadow of War Somehow Manages to Conquer the Top Spot
Power of the ring?
Well, we're not sure we saw this one coming. Middle-earth: Shadow of War has claimed the top spot of the Japanese hardware charts, despite shifting only 20,000 copies on PlayStation 4. In other words, this has been a really poor week for new releases. Indeed, traditionally styled role-playing game Lost Sphear absolutely...
News Star Ocean: The Last Hope Lands on PS4 Next Month as a Full HD Remaster
Supports 4K on PS4 Pro
Square Enix has announced that Star Ocean: The Last Hope will arrive on PlayStation 4 next month. The confirmed date follows on from last week's news that a current-gen remaster was in the works.
