News UK Sales Charts: Final Fantasy XV Fails to Dethrone FIFA 17
But starts strong all the same
Final Fantasy XV couldn't Noctis FIFA 17 from its perch in this week's UK sales charts – but it still registered the second strongest first week sales for a Final Fantasy game in Britain, falling only short of Final Fantasy XIII's week one numbers. We're pretty sure that Square Enix will see that as a success –...
PSX 2016 Crash Bandicoot PS4 Trilogy Considered a 'AAA Remaster' by Dev
Spin to win
Having appeared at Sony's PlayStation Experience 2016 showcase over the weekend, it's safe to say that one of PlayStation's original mascots is back with a bang. Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy looked even better than we had hoped it would in its very first gameplay trailer, which prompted us to say that the current-gen package looks...

High in the sky
How We Soar is a wonderfully well-crafted virtual reality game that follows the journey of an author, through his struggles of trying to write his first novel. Although he has many ideas, he cannot decide on one over another, and so all of them are compiled together to form the environments of each level in the game. Although the...

News Bruce Straley Will Not Co-Direct The Last of Us: Part II
Astray
This is a little bit of a bummer: Bruce Straley will not co-direct The Last of Us: Part II.

Store Update All the PS4, Vita Games Available After PSX 2016

PSX 2016 Sony Boasts That the Best Games Are on PS4
After yesterday, who'd argue?
It's the breadth, isn't it? There's no other manufacturer on this planet who could go from PaRappa the Rapper to WipEout: Omega Collection to Horizon: Zero Dawn to Knack 2 to Uncharted: The Lost Legacy to Gran Turismo Sport to… Well, you get the idea. You may not enjoy every title in Sony's library, but there's so...
PSX 2016 Vane Is a PS4 Fantasy Adventure from Ex-Team ICO Staff
Inject it into our Vanes
Sony's big PSX 2016 press conference was packed to the brim with big name reveals, but some of the smaller announcements caught our eye, too. Vane, a new fantasy adventure from ex-Team ICO staffers, was one such title that really impressed. The release is essentially about a boy who can transform into a bird, and it's...

PSX 2016 Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Will Be a Lengthy Standalone Story
House of Frazer
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is not downloadable content, and it's not what was rumoured either. All of the talk pre-release pointed to a standalone story involving Sam Drake, but while it's true that you won't need Uncharted 4: A Thief's End to play this adventure, it's all about the relationship between Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross...
PSX 2016 Gravity Rush 2 Adds Another Story for Free After Launch
Raven's the star
Gravity Rush 2 will rebound in March with free downloadable content centring on the story of Raven. The add-on was announced during Sony's PSX 2016 press conference today with a fairly lengthy trailer, which you can watch in its entirety above. Looking tasty as a Pink Lady apple, eh?

Personal business
The trailers just refuse to stop today, and now the Phantom Thieves are getting in on the act.

PSX 2016 What Remains Of Edith Finch Re-Emerges, This Time With Release Window
A series of unfortunate events
Whew, seeing a new trailer for Giant Sparrow's new title was actually quite a relief.

Yakuza 6 and Yakuza: Kiwami both confirmed
When it rains it pours, as they say. We already know that Yakuza 0, the prequel starring a younger Kazuma Kiryu set in the 80s, is coming West in January next year on PlayStation 4.

When the stars align
We first got our hands on Pyre, Supergiant's – creators of Bastion and Transistor – newest title a couple days after it was announced at PAX East earlier in the year.

PSX 2016 Resident Evil 7 Still Looks Absolutely Terrifying on PS4
Demo update hitting tonight
One of the trailers debuted in Sony's blink-and-you'll-miss-it Playstation Experience conference today was for upcoming PlayStation 4 survival horror Resident Evil 7.

PSX 2016 Meet Some New Monsters in Horizon: Zero Dawn's Latest Trailer

It features a few new robo-dinos we've not seen before, such as the creatures with buzzsaws in their faces (because teeth clearly aren't...
PSX 2016 Ace Combat 7 Takes to The Skies With New Trailer
Soarin'
We haven't heard much about Bamco's sky-high flight series in some time. After being announced at last year's PSX, details were scarce until Ace Combat 7 appeared on the list of playable games at Sony's end-of-year bash. Unfortunately while this trailer confirmed that Ace Combat 7 still exists, we didn't much past that. Barely a minute of...
PSX 2016 Destiny's The Dawning Update Promises a Lot of Festive Game Tweaks
Snow joke
Bungie's going in pretty hard with Destiny's winter festivities, it would seem.

PSX 2016 The Last of Us: Part II Is Real on PS4
Survive on
You'd be reasonable assuming Sony couldn't possibly have anything else up its sleeve to end PSX 2016 with a showstopper. What could possibly top Uncharted: The Lost Legacy or, um, Knack 2? Well, it looks like the developer of the former wasn't content by revealing another chapter in its flagship franchise. Naughty Dog has also turned the...
PSX 2016 Marvel vs Capcom Infinite Teams Up with PS4 in 2017
Marvel vs. Capcom 3 available today on PS4

N. Sane Trilogy gets first gameplay trailer
Crash Bandicoot is back, baby, and he looks... well, he looks better than ever, to be honest.

PSX 2016 Knack 2 Announced on PS4 to Everyone's Complete Surprise
Knack on wood
Knack was a fine 3D platformer. It stumbled with its story, struggled with repetition, and lacked challenge with its level design, but we think it had a lot of potential to improve. So, it was hard to believe that Mark Cerny's, err, most important legacy would ever receive a sequel, but against all odds, Knack 2 will be building its...
PSX 2016 WipEout Finally Races onto PS4 in Omega Collection
The t-shirt delivers
Shawn Layden, you're alright.

It's called WipEout: Omega Collection,...

News Death Stranding's Trailers Are Connected in the Weirdest Way
Baby blues
Death Stranding's two trailers are connected – though you'll need a YouTube Doubler to understand exactly how.

Feature What Are Our PSX 2016 Presser Predictions?
Predicting the press conference
With the Tokyo Game Show declining in importance and Sony glossing over Gamescom and Paris Games Week this year, it hasn't been a vintage 12 months for PlayStation press conferences. Don't get us wrong, its E3 2016 showcase this summer was spectacular, ditching the small talk in favour of a 90 minute barrage of...
News Could PaRappa the Rapper Be About to Spit into PSX 2016?
Gotta believe
Kick, punch, it's all in the mind – or is it? The ever eagle-eyed Gematsu has spotted a new rating for a game called PaRappa the Rapper on the Korean classifications board. The filing was submitted by Sony Interactive Entertainment recently, though a platform frustratingly isn't listed. So
Guide What Time Does Sony's PSX 2016 Press Conference Start?
Action stations
This is it, then: the final PlayStation press conference of the year. To be fair, the calendar hasn't exactly been overflowing with them in 2016. Yes, we had the excellent E3 2016 this summer, but TGS 2016 and PlayStation Meeting were both considerably low-key – especially when it came to new software announcements. Without a...

Final Fantasy XV's been on store shelves for a few days now, and we imagine that many of you reading this will still be digging into Square Enix's latest adventure - but we're more eager than ever to know what you think.

News Duke Nukem's a Pre-Order Incentive in Bulletstorm PS4
Not sure how enticing that is, though?
This author didn't really like Bulletstorm at the best of times, so we're not convinced that chucking in Duke Nukem is going to make it any better. That's exactly the arrangement that Gearbox has cooked up with People Can Fly, though, as John St. John has reprised his role as the bleach haired lothario to add...

Pre-orders are "exceeding expectations"
The wait for The Last Guardian is almost over.

We suppose that any...
News Hideo Kojima Completed Metal Gear Solid V in Solitary Confinement
Sent to the stands
Geoff Keighley's teary tribute to Hideo Kojima during last night's The Game Awards may have been a touch over-the-top, but speaking with Glixel prior to the show, the host did reveal a little more about the luminary's predicament at Konami. Apparently, during the final stages of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's production,...

Mads Mikkelsen joins the cast
What the hell? Hideo Kojima accepted his industry icon award during The Game Awards 2016 this evening, and then decided to bring the house down with a feature-length trailer for his brand new PlayStation 4 exclusive, Death Stranding.

News Street Fighter V's Festive Holiday Costumes Are Not Made for Cold Weather
Brrr
Capcom's released the above trailer for Street Fighter V's upcoming downloadable content pack, and, well, the only thing that we've really taken away from it is that it includes a lot of skimpy Christmas costumes. Oh, and it's got an amazingly cheesy rendition of Jingle Bells playing over it. Apparently, we're getting a release date for all of...

Soapbox December PlayStation Plus May Be Disappointing, But You Should Still Play Stories
Ramsey reckons the action RPG is worth a shot
So, a lot of people aren't happy with December's PlayStation Plus line up, which is fair enough - you can't win 'em all. However, I think it's reasonable to say that many subscribers are quick to completely disregard titles that they don't actually know anything about. This isn't me calling people stupid...
News Dragon Quest Builders Shifts Over 1 Million Copies Worldwide
Build it up
Delightfully fun sandbox craft-'em-up Dragon Quest Builders has sold over 1 million units worldwide since it launched in Japan back at the start of the year, Square Enix has announced.

Lasting until the 23rd December, Sony has introduced a 'buy one, get one free' deal to the European PlayStation Store that covers 47 different PlayStation 4 titles.

News The Reaction to December's PlayStation Plus Games Has Not Been Positive
Not so happy holidays
Earlier this week, Sony leaked December's PlayStation Plus offerings on its very own digital storefront. Quite the cock-up, but we imagine that the general reaction to the supposed selection of PlayStation 4 titles wouldn't have been quite so negative had a hallowed AAA blockbuster of yesteryear been present. Y'know, something...
News Lara Croft Go Will Wield Its Dual Pistols on PS4, Vita
Raid it
It's about this point in time where the PSX 2016 organisers start to get fidgety, because everything is starting to leak.

You can view its Trophies through here...

Resident Evil has been a little lost for a while now. While there have been decent entries like Resident Evil Revelations 2, the main series has been on a sharp decline since Resident Evil 5.

The leaks were right
Uh oh, better head down to the bunker and sit tight, because December's PlayStation Plus games have been confirmed.

The G generation
The new Pokémon games dominated the Japanese charts last time around, and unsurprisingly, they're at it again.

Dead or alive
First revealed during Sony's press conference at E3 back in the summer, Death Stranding is Hideo Kojima's typically batsh*t baby, and we may be seeing - or at least hearing - more about it at next month's PlayStation Experience. About time, we reckon. Obviously, we don't know much about Death Stranding at this point. All we've seen of...
