Insanity is back as well
Much like Mass Effect 3, Mass Effect: Andromeda will feature a very easy difficulty option named 'Narrative', lead designer Ian Frazier has revealed over on Twitter.

Big dinos, little updates
We're so used to seeing big open world games get lumbered with large day one updates that we just assumed Horizon: Zero Dawn would find itself in the same situation - but it looks like that won't be the case. Posting on Twitter, developer Guerrilla Games has confirmed that the upcoming exclusive will indeed have a patch...
News Horizon: Zero Dawn's Impressive Weather System Was Once Much More Dangerous
Death from above
Horizon: Zero Dawn is an impressive game, both on a technical and visual level - but there are times when detail potentially gets in the way of fun gameplay, and that's apparently what happened with the title's dynamic storms. Speaking to the Official PlayStation Magazine, Guerrilla Games' Mathijs de Jonge reveals that random...

A player chooses, the prey obeys
Welcome to the first-person perspective of Morgan Yu, the androgynous protagonist of Prey.

News Let Your Imagination Run Wild in LEGO Worlds This March
Build me up buttercup
Like every child on the planet, we used to play with LEGO when we were little.

Anyway, LEGO is obviously really fun whatever you're building, and LEGO Worlds is...

News Injustice 2's Girls Come Out to Play on Valentine's Day
Meow
Look, we're excited for Injustice 2, but there's an elephant that needs addressing – the character models are kinda hideous, aren't they?

News NieR Automata Scores Big on PS4 in Famitsu Magazine
2B or not 2B
Japanese magazine Famitsu is not necessarily the most reliable source for review scores given the various scandals and rumours that have emerged questioning its integrity over the years.

News Resident Evil 7 Reloads with More DLC Banned Footage
Dinner time
The first chunk of Resident Evil 7 DLC was excellent – even if it arguably should have been included with the main game.

Review Kitty Powers' Matchmaker (PS4)
It's not you, it's me
Camp is a word that will keep popping into your head while playing Kitty Powers' Matchmaker. In fact, this reviewer's confident in saying that the only way this title could possibly be more camp would be if it suddenly decided to start pitching tents. Innuendo and the sort of humour that would have Sid James laughing in his...
News Swamp Thing Rises from the Mire and into Injustice 2
Mud man
Swamp Thing is a cool character, but creator Len Rein could have put a little more effort into the name of Dr. Alec Holland's alter-ego, eh?

While his design isn't anything to write...
News PS4 Pro Boost Mode Makes Just Cause 3's Frame Rate Slightly Less Shite
But it's still far from perfect
Just Cause 3, for all of its fun, free-form chaos, runs like garbage on a standard PlayStation 4.

Given its particularly poor performance, many have been wondering whether the PS4 Pro's Boost Mode can help...
Video Set Your Sights on Some Sniper Elite 4 PS4 Gameplay
Sight life
We've busted our balls busting balls to bring you a Sniper Elite 4 review ahead of its release date, but you probably fancy a bit of video footage to go with it, right?

News PS4 Pro Boost Mode Tested on The Witcher 3, Bloodborne, and More
Booster pack
As expected, the techies over at Digital Foundry are having a blast with PS4 Pro and its Boost Mode, which is available as part of firmware 4.50's beta.

News Quantic Dream Wraps Mo-Cap on PS4's Detroit: Become Human
Robot wars
Detroit: Become Human looks like it's still a little way away, but Quantic Dream did complete motion capture for the PlayStation 4 exclusive earlier this week.

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 155
Back on schedule
After last week's dramatically delayed What Are You Playing, we're back with a relatively on-time issue now that our hardware issues have (hopefully) been resigned to the past. Is there anything worse than computer problems, readers? We wouldn't mind if Windows 10 actually revealed what was wrong; instead it kicks up vague error...
Talking Point Are 'Live Games' Really What You Want on PS4?
The future
Ubisoft insinuated this week that it cancelled production on a more "traditional" game in order to bolster the content pipeline for its suite of "live games" – titles like The Crew, Rainbow Six: Siege, and The Division which are being iterated upon with regularity. But while this is clearly the future that publishers see for the PlayS

News This Tale of PS4 Theft Is Particularly Harrowing
Console lifted from children's cancer ward
Thieves suck, but even the likes of Nathan Drake have an ethical code.

Really, really not cool. The thing that makes...
News Mass Effect: Andromeda Beta Registration Closed, We'll Hear More Soon
Galactic readiness
BioWare's revealed that registration for the upcoming Mass Effect: Andromeda multiplayer beta has closed.

News Mass Effect: Andromeda Looking to The Witcher Rather than Dragon Age for Side Quests
Probably a good thing
When Dragon Age: Inquisition launched on PlayStation 4 in 2014, we were confident that it was one of the best role-playing games on the console - mostly because there wasn't much competition. In 2015, however, it more than met its match; The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt basically blew it away in almost every department. There was one...

Destined
Destiny will be getting a "full sequel" in 2017, Activision has confirmed in its latest financials report.

Like, licensed Hot Wheels
Rocket League's rapid ascension from cult indie classic to mainstream monster could probably be marked by the addition of the Batmobile, but we reckon these Hot Wheels classics are arguably even cooler.

Life's a Witcher
Well, that's a headline we didn't really expect to write.
