News Broforce's PS4 Launch Trailer Shows Why It's a PlayStation Plus Winner
Freedom fighters
Maybe you didn't vote for it, maybe you'll never play it - but we want you to at least give Broforce's PlayStation 4 launch trailer a look. The video's a bit like a Saturday morning cartoon opening, but with way more guts, death, and explosions. Okay, so it's not the most elegant trailer that we've ever seen, but it's at least got...
News You Won't Need PlayStation Plus to Play Uncharted 4 This Weekend
Beta believe it
We all knew confirmation was coming, and now it's official: there's going to be an open Uncharted 4: A Thief's End multiplayer beta this weekend. We've already gone over the details - which you can read through here - but there's one more nice surprise to be shared, at least, if you're not a fan of Sony's premium service. Naughty...
News Hmmm, Street Fighter V Came Close to Having Super Realistic Graphics
Ryu serious?
We don't know about you, but when we picture Street Fighter these days, we don't just think about that time we got beaten up in our very first ranked match - we see vibrant colours and a lot of style. Street Fighter V is perhaps the most stylish entry in the series, but according to Japanese publication Game Spark, it didn't always look...
News PS4 Firmware Update 3.50 Adds Friend Notifications and Offline Status
Still no folders, though
Sony's outlined some of the key new features that will be made available as part of PlayStation 4 firmware update v3.50.

News VEV: Viva Ex Vivo Makes Biology Bad Ass on PS4, PlayStation VR
Best celler
Reading the PlayStation Blog post for VEV: Viva Ex Vivo, a biological survival game for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR, is a bit like going back to school: it doesn't make much sense. Look, we were listening when you spouted intel about membranes and white blood cells, Mr. Sturgeon – but we doubt even you would understand the...
Feature 5 Things We Know About Murderous PS4 RPG Vampyr
London's bleeding
We first heard about Vampyr back at the beginning of last year, and truth be told, we've heard bugger all since. However, thanks to a glut of new information that's spread across the web like an outbreak of vampirism, we've finally got our hands on some semi-decent details. We're thankful, too, because French developer DONTNOD's...

News PS4 Action RPG Vampyr Bleeds a Few Gloomy Screenshots
You may have to squint
It's about bloody time that we got a slightly better look at Vampyr - an action role-playing game set in 1918's London. As you'd expect from a title that's all about vampires and a city that's trying to get over the horrors of the first World War, Vampyr promises a dark and morbid looking affair. The only downside is that...
Review The Witch and the Hundred Knight: Revival Edition (PS4)
It's a remastered kind of magic
By the pricking of our thumbs, something remastered this way comes. Yes, Nippon Ichi Software – the developer of the superb turn-based strategy role-playing Disgaea franchise – has decided to polish up its real-time battler The Witch and the Hundred Knight, adding Revival Edition to its already lengthy name on the...
News Titanfall 2 Is Starting to Pop Up in Shops
Dropping a titan on PS4 this time
It looks like Titanfall 2 will be announced imminently, as eagle-eyed NeoGAF users have noticed that the title is starting to appear in shops. An image of a GameStop display stand shows placeholder art from the forthcoming sequel nestled curiously atop a PlayStation 3 shelf. That's probably not an indication of...
News Street Fighter V Rage Quitters Are in for a World of Hurt, Says Capcom
Can't run from this fight
Rage quitting has been an issue in Street Fighter V ever since players realised that they could drop out of matches without being penalised. While it's pretty crazy that the game launched with no punishments for such conduct in place, it looks like Capcom's preparing to tackle the problem head on. "Yes, we are well aware...
News Star Ocean 5 Promises to Be a Silky Smooth 60fps RPG on PS4
Plus a load of new gameplay
In its most recent livestream of Star Ocean 5: Integrity and Faithlessness, publisher Square Enix detailed how the action role-playing game will differ across PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. While both versions of the release will feature the same content, it looks like the new-gen edition will boast some advantages,...
News Want Fallout 4's Season Pass? We Suggest Getting It Now
The price explodes tomorrow
Consider this a friendly reminder that the season pass for Fallout 4 will jump in price tomorrow. In other words, today is your last chance to grab it for the more reasonable cost of £24.99/$29.99. Bethesda announced that the pass would be increasing in price earlier this month, following the reveal of the title's first...

News UK Sales Charts: Far Cry Primal Shows Its Teeth to Plants vs. Zombies
All change, please
This week's UK sales chart is a little bit different, much to the relief of every single one of you who reads these articles. Far Cry Primal has roared its way to the top of the club, etching its name in the number one slot like a hasty cave painting. It bettered Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, which entered in second...
Push Rewind Uncharted 4, PlayStation Plus Freebies, Far Cry Primal
For Drake's sake
Ooh boy, the highlight this week has to be that Uncharted 4: A Thief's End trailer, doesn't it? Even ignoring the hullabaloo regarding the place holder art, Naughty Dog's latest practically sizzled in its latest story clip. Other highlights this time include the latest PlayStation Plus line-up, and several big reviews – Far Cry...
News Move Over Power Glove! Sony Patents PlayStation VR Mittens
Everything else is child's play
They do say that everything comes full-circle eventually, so if PlayStation VR is merely a next-gen Virtual Boy, then we suppose that it makes sense for Sony to be planning a Power Glove alternative, too. A patent filed by SCEA shortly after the announcement of Project Morpheus in 2014 suggests that the company's at...

News Naughty Dog Started Uncharted 4's Story Again
Plot changed 100 per cent
Naughty Dog re-worked Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's story "100 per cent", according to creative director Neil Druckmann. Many of you may remember Amy Hennig's unceremonious exit from the Californian company a few years back; this resulted in the story being re-written, actors changing, and what seemed like an exodus from the...
News Shenmue III Sizzles in Scintillating New PS4 Screenshots
Bailu's lookin' beautiful
The first Shenmue III screenshot released didn't exactly capture the imagination, but the project's been in development for a little while now, and is slowly beginning to take shape. These images, deployed to coincide with a Shibuya Productions hosted event named Magic Monaco earlier today, really impress, showing shots of...

Just dance
It's the weekend, which means that it's time to dig out your Little Mix CD and start dancing like it's 2016.

Sammy Barker, Editor: I can't talk about what I'll be...
News There's a Way to Play Gundam Breaker 3 in English This April
As long as you don't mind importing
Even though Bandai Namco is localising Vita action game Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme VS-Force later this year, that hasn't stopped many fans from lusting after Gundam Breaker 3 - another mech-based brawler that's launching on PlayStation 4 and Vita in Japan on the 3rd March. Sadly, there's been no word of the...
Rumour Could Battlefield 5 Whisk You Back to World War I?
War never changes
Here's an interesting rumour: Battlefield 5 may take place during World War I. That, at least, is what one Swiss retailer thinks, listing the game as a "multiplayer tactical shooter" set during the aforementioned time period. World of Games – the store in question – has since edited the page, but has left in a 26th October...
Review The Walking Dead: Michonne - Episode 1: In Too Deep (PS4)
A name you won't forget
Telltale Games' portfolio may be deep these days, but it's the company's exemplary contributions to The Walking Dead universe that will forever earn top billing. Alongside millions of others, we love the crushingly hard choices and branching character development that's unfolded over two seasons thus far. That said, we were...
Review Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 (PS4)
Behind enemy vines
Popcap has taken control of the plantation again with a sequel to the much-loved Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare. We really liked the original release, praising its ability to "stay true to its roots" while still offering an olive branch to new audiences by "switching up the franchise's familiar format". But by returning to the...

The brawler will bounce onto PlayStation 4 and Vita on the...
News Will Red Dead Redemption 2 Be Announced at E3 2016?
BioShock? Borderlands? Take Two's going big
Take Two, the company in charge of 2K Games and Rockstar, has hinted that it will appear at E3 2016 in a "big way". Strauss Zelnick, the organisation's head honcho, teased the tidbit in the latest issue of MCV, stopping short of revealing which titles it will have on display. It currently has three games...
News PS4 Fans Are So Mad at PlayStation Plus They're Making Parodies
Has it really got that bad?
PlayStation Plus members are fed up of pixel art platformers – even though, y'know, you all just voted Broforce in as one of your March freebies. Nevertheless, so unenthused about the Instant Game Collection is the PlayStation 4 community right now that it's started making parody videos. Cue this "hilarious" take on...
News You Can Now Search for PS4 Communities
No excuses not to join Push Square's now
Well, then – who says Sony doesn't listen to feedback? The PlayStation 4 communities feature bizarrely launched without a search button last year, meaning that you had to follow a convoluted process to find the groups that you wanted to join. Now, though, the platform holder has added a search button,...
I see London, I see France
Ironcast is a very pleasant game considering its subject matter, its upper-class Victorian characters maintaining their polite demeanour in the direst of situations. Due to a dispute over a very valuable substance called Voltite, the British Empire is at war with its old enemy from across the channel, and it'll take nine...
News This Tasty 12 Minute Anime Introduces God Eater: Resurrection
Whet your appetite
If you're looking forward to God Eater: Resurrection and God Eater 2: Rage Burst, then you might want to check out this 12 minute anime introduction to the former.

Chick, whistle, and stomp
Originally released on the Wii U in 2013, and followed closely by versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux in the months after that, it has taken almost exactly three years for Toki Tori 2+ to finally come to PlayStation. This gap will have somewhat deflected some of the hype surrounding it for Sony fans, but to merely glance...
News DOOM Should Run Like a Bloody Dream on PS4
"The best-looking game at 1080p, 60fps"
Gotta love the team over at id Software, eh? The developer's lead project programmer, Billy Khan, has bigged up DOOM's engine ahead of its release in a few months, stating that it'll run at 60 frames per second in 1080p on PlayStation 4. "We want players to wonder how DOOM and idTech 6 games can be so...
Review Ninja Senki DX (PS Vita)
No-go ninja
Tribute Games has been churning out unremarkable indie games for quite a while now. Each illuminates a finer aspect from all of those 8 and 16-bit titles we grew to know and love but always does so in a negative way. Wizorb is unique but trite in its presentation. Mercenary Kings is what Metal Slug would've looked like after a bout with...
News Resident Evil 4, 5, and 6 Are All Shuffling to PS4 This Year
Yes, all of 'em
When you're in dire financial straits like Capcom are, the only solution is to throw as many remasters at the wall as possible and hope something sticks. Not content with bringing Resident Evil and Resident Evil Zero to Sony's new-gen system, the publisher has now announced that Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5, and Resident Evil 6...
News The, Er, Batmobile's Coming to Rocket League on PS4
Send a spotlight signal
When you move 10 million units, you tend to open a lot of doors for yourself. It's perhaps no major surprise that Rocket League will be adding the Batmobile from 8th March on the PlayStation 4. The supercharged vehicle will cost you just $1.99, and will come with three antenna flags – one apiece for Batman, Superman, and...

A new character, a free stage, and more costumes

Those of you who have played the hack and slash title will probably already know that Naotora specialises in powerful kicks, so you can probably guess how she's going...
News PS4 Remains the Best Place to Play, Says Sony
Any arguments?
Sony's dropped a new chest-pumping trailer for Spring 2016, reiterating that the PlayStation 4 remains the best place to play. The clip centres on console exclusive games like Street Fighter V, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, and MLB 16: The Show, before re-iterating that all Call of Duty: Black Ops III map packs can be played on the...

Fight and flight
The more that we see of Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir, the more we just want to combo pretty enemy designs into oblivion.

Detailing the action role-playing title's...

News It Hasn't Taken Long for Naughty Dog to Release Another Uncharted 4 Trailer
Whoops
In a rather bizarre story earlier today, some Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag concept art managed to pop up in the latest Uncharted 4: A Thief's End trailer. After it was pointed out by a Ubisoft employee, people began to assume that Naughty Dog may have nicked the picture and been caught red handed. As it turns out, that assumption might...
News So, Uncharted 4 Has Apparently Stolen Some Assassin's Creed Artwork
A thief's end
Hmmmm, what's all this, then? In case you missed it, a new Uncharted 4: A Thief's End trailer was revealed today, and it's really bloody good - so you should go check it out through here. However, good trailer or not, it seems as though developer Naughty Dog may have been, well, a bit naughty. There's a part in the video where the...
News Your PlayStation Plus Games for March Have Been Revealed
Bang for your buck
Wow, March's PlayStation Plus lineup is looking pretty explosive. Alongside the bombastic Broforce, which was voted into the selection by PlayStation 4 users, you'll be getting the rather good Galak-Z on Sony's newest system. As long as you like blowing things up, that's not too bad, right? Meanwhile, PS3 players can look forward...
News PSN Down For Maintenance Early Next Month
Don't panic
Did you read "PSN Down" in the headline and immediately think "not again"?

No, this is actually just a quick heads up that the service will be undergoing maintenance early next month. On the 2nd March, the...
News Dark Souls III PS4 Trailer Keeps the Hype Train Moving
True colours
Are we getting no respite today? Hot on the heels of the fantastic Uncharted 4: A Thief's End story trailer, Bandai Namco has deployed this desperately moody Dark Souls III clip, which is backed by a macabre cover of Cyndi Lauper's 'True Colors'. This is a proper miserable little trailer, we've got to be honest. But doesn't it look...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Street Fighter V Falls Short on PS4
Not quite a knockout
We're afraid that it's yet more disappointing news for Street Fighter V, as its opening Japanese sales figures are in. We already know that the brawler hasn't done especially well here in the UK, and it turns out that it hasn't quite set Japan alight, either. Capcom's latest sold through 41,990 copies on PlayStation 4, which...
News Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Is the Most Stunning PS4 Game to Date
New story trailer sizzles
Good god! Just… What the heck do they put in the water at Naughty Dog?

There may be a few spoilers in here if you're eager to remain fresh ahead of the title's April...
News Fallout 4's Survival Mode Takes Things Way More Seriously
It's a tough old world
If you haven't already heard, Fallout 4 is getting a survival mode in a free update relatively soon. Much like Fallout: New Vegas' hardcore mode, you'll need to eat, sleep, and keep yourself hydrated in order to survive - but we could have guessed that this would be the case anyway. Nevertheless, Reddit's data mined some more...
News PlayStation Plus Members Can Try Hitman on PS4 for Free in March
Assassin's glee

News Risk of Rain Finally Forecasted to Fall on PS4 and Vita
Took long enough
With the fourth birthday of the PlayStation Vita as of yesterday, it would have been nice for Sony to have given some presents to owners of the neglected system, but once again, it looks like the indie scene will be picking up the slack once again with Risk of Rain, courtesy of Hopoo Games and Code Mystics. What's interesting is...

Mars attacks
Yes, before you say it, we know that we've been here before. Those of you who remember us banging on about an action role-playing game by the name of Bound by Flame will know that we were quite excited for the BioWare-esque title, but ultimately, it didn't live up to its potential. And we get it: you could easily say the same thing...

Special mention must go to SwapQuest, too, which looks like a neat little RPG-lite for the Vita...
News PS4 Stealth Sequel Styx: Shards of Darkness Sure Looks Impressive
Unreal Engine 4 life
Styx: Master of Shadows was a pretty decent stealth title that launched on the PlayStation 4 back in 2014, but for many, it crawled straight under the radar and into obscurity. A sequel seems like a good idea, then, and if Styx: Shards of Darkness' first screenshots are anything to go by, it may be a 2016 release that's worth...
News Fallout 4 Mods on PS4 May Be Arriving This Summer
A rough estimate from Todd Howard
Mod support for Fallout 4 has been a big talking point - especially when it comes to us console players. How will they work? Will they be limited? How long will we have to wait? All of these questions and more have been spiralling for months, but sadly, we're still no closer to any definitive answers. However,...
Review Hitman Go: Definitive Edition (PS4)
Dio-drama
For a hit to go off successfully, assassins need to work with clockwork efficiency. Hitman Go: Definitive Edition, the PlayStation 4 and Vita port of Square Enix Montreal's mobile spin-off, takes that idea literally, polishing the shiny scalp of cold-blooded killer Agent 47 like it's made of resin – because, well, in this interpretation...

Meat bags, anyone?
Fallout 4's getting some new content courtesy of update 1.4, which has just entered the beta phase on PC.

News PlayStation VR Will Dominate Space if Less Than $500, Says Pachter
But will it be?
While there are three different high-profile virtual reality headsets scheduled to launch this year, it doesn't feel like they're necessarily in competition. That's not to say that Sony, HTC, and Oculus don't want you to buy their own particular solution, but the trio of manufacturers seem to be acutely aware that their biggest...
News It Sounds Like Street Fighter V Is Grabbing an Arcade Mode
Ready for another round?
We've seen a lot of complaints about Street Fighter V - heck, we've done plenty of moaning ourselves when we couldn't connect to our friends for a quick duel or two - but easily the most popular complaint that we've heard stems from the fact that the beat-'em-up doesn't have an arcade mode of any kind. Fortunately, Capcom...
News Ubisoft Really Is Desperate to Break Records with The Division
Like, really desperate
Is this really necessary? Tom Clancy's The Division is riding high on pre-order charts, has a ton of marketing muscle behind it, and is clearly going to be a very popular game, so we're not sure why publisher Ubisoft is desperate for it to break records. Alas, it's had its PR team blast out some big news today: the game's beta...

News The Pressure's on in The Walking Dead: Michonne
Dead or alive
We'd almost forgotten that The Walking Dead games can literally be boiled down to a spate of trying decisions, but the launch trailer for upcoming mini-series Michonne hammers that point home, showing the titular hero stressed up to the eyeballs as she tries to survive in a harsh post-apocalyptic world. We'd rather feed our brains to...

Extreme ice cream eatin'
Dearest Hitomi, We know that you're enjoying a nice summer holiday on the totally non-exploitative Zack Island, but we must question your ice cream eating strategy.
