TGS 2015 Nioh Is Shuhei Yoshida's Most Anticipated PS4 Game
Nioh you don't
Shuhei Yoshida's in a pretty privileged position where he gets to play practically every first-party PlayStation 4 game in an early state, but while he'll have enjoyed hands-on time with titles like Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Horizon: Zero Dawn, it's actually another title that's caught his eye: Koei Tecmo's re-revealed Nioh,...
Weirdness This Is How Big Boss Would Look in Quiet's Clothes
Haven't got a stitch to wear
There's been much controversy over Quiet's threads – or her lack thereof – in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, but perhaps things would be more tolerable if Big Boss donned her outfit instead. We're making no further observations on this artwork as we quite enjoy our ability to breathe, but here's one artist's...
Feature Eyes On with PlayStation VR at Canada's Largest Gaming Expo
Andrew Karklins visits a virtual London
In early September, I was fortunate enough to experience Sony's first endeavour into the virtual reality space with Project Morpheus, now officially known as PlayStation VR. While attending Fan Expo Canada, a celebration of all things pop culture in downtown Toronto, the Japanese giant showcased many titles...

From Tokyo with love
And breathe again. Push Square Towers has been a hive of activity this week, with TGS 2015 in full swing. But while we've been enjoying bringing you all of the big news from Tokyo, we are looking forward to a breather this weekend – and a video game or two. As has become a tradition in these parts, here's what we're playing...
Rumour BioShock Collection Steps into PS4's Bathysphere
Would you kindly
We've chalked this up as a rumour for now, but you can send us to Rapture if it doesn't eventually happen. South African retailer Raru – we know, we know – has listed The BioShock Collection for release on the PlayStation 4. There's no original artwork so the retailer could just be acting presumptuously, but this series is...
News PS4 Appears to Be Getting a Price Drop in the UK
Count the pennies and all that
Sony announced this week that it will be dropping the price of the PlayStation 4 in Japan and much of Asia next month, and it looks like the strategy will extend to the UK as well. While the platform holder's being a little more subtle about things on these shores, Eurogamer.n
News Animate Your Bank Account's Paid Out Column with NA PSN Flash Sale
Cut down to size
Oh Sony, you sly dogs. Wrecked after a hard week of TGS 2015 coverage, we weren't expecting a North American Flash Sale when we went to bed early last night. Still, this sale is set to run through until Monday, 21st September, so you have ample opportunity to make up your mind. As always you'll find the full list of discounts over...
TGS 2015 Ogle Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 with PlayStation VR
You're about to get busted
Sony may be readying an extortionate entry fee for PlayStation VR, but between Summer Lesson and Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, there's a strong chance that many may still pay the price. Koei Tecmo confirmed overnight that the PlayStation 4 instal
TGS 2015 Sony Suggests PlayStation VR Won't Be Cheap
Gulp
PlayStation VR now has an official name, which means that its launch is getting nearer. Due out during the first half of 2016, the platform holder has hinted several times over the past few months that the peripheral is all but finished, and that it's just waiting for the software to catch up. But one thing that we don't know is how much the...
TGS 2015 PS4 Is the Most Prolific Platform at Tokyo Game Show
Smartphones are on top, though
It's been a particularly good week for the PlayStation 4 at TGS 2015, and that's been beared out by some official show statistics shared by Japanese rag Nikkei. According to the paper there are 103 titles for Sony's new-gen machine on display at this year's show, which is well over double the tally of last year. This...
News Destiny: The Taken King's Raid Has Already Been Conquered
The king has fallen
Raids, as this author understands them, are the uber-complex end-game missions in Destiny that are supposed to take weeks to conquer. It's no surprise, then, that there's serious online street cred up for grabs if you can come through them in hours – and one The Taken King gang will be lapping up the plaudits today, as they...
News There's a New The Witcher 3 Free PS4 Theme and It's Well Worth Downloading
It's even got its own music
Earlier this week, a brand new The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt PlayStation 4 theme launched on the PlayStation Store, but its arrival passed us by almost entirely. The game's last theme, which featured artwork of monsters, wasn't all that great, but this fresh one's pretty fantastic. Boasting moody representations of both...
News Rocket League Brings the Revenge of the Battle Cars in October
Back to where it all began
We can't quite make up our mind about this new Rocket League trailer. On the one hand, it's pretty darn good – but we can't shake the feeling that it would probably fit a romantic comedy movie better. That said, we suppose that Psyonix's arcade smash has one of the greatest coming of age stories ever – after all, no...
News Assassin's Creed Syndicate Blows the Smog Off Its Exclusive PS4 Missions
Blood on the streets
Buying Assassin's Creed Syndicate on PlayStation 4 gets you access to a string of missions that involve grizzly murder. Solving these crimes typically falls to main characters Jacob and Evie Frye, as they scour the smoggy streets of industrial London in order to hunt down the killer and find out just what the heck is going on...
TGS 2015 Hatsune Miku Will Look Better Than Ever on PS4
Tell your world
Green haired goddess Hatsune Miku is set to strut onto the PlayStation 4 next year, bringing her synthesised vocals along for the ride.

TGS 2015 Gravity Rush Is Getting an Anime Adaptation
Kat attack
One of those little stories that slipped through the cracks during Sony's big TGS 2015 press conference earlier this week: Gravity Rush is getting an anime adaptation. The special animation was announced by Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, though there are no other details right now. To be honest, it sounds like it's only just...
TGS 2015 New Hot Shots Golf Will Boast Buggies and Fishing
Goin' clubbin'
New Hot Shots Golf's trailer at TGS 2015 seemed to disappoint franchise fans, but we're actually pretty excited by what Sony's saying about the game. A page on the PlayStation Japan website has revealed a little more about the PlayStation 4 revival, and while we're working with shaky translations here, it certainly sounds like the...
TGS 2015 Persona 5's PS4, PS3 Delay Is Due to Atlus Wanting to Make the Biggest and Best Entry Yet
All of the "parts" have been assembled
Persona 5's delay is a real disappointment, but the title's TGS 2015 trailer proved that it's going to be exceptional whenever it arrives. And speaking as part of a video interview translated by Siliconera, director Katsura Hashino has
TGS 2015 Metal Gear Solid V Is Getting Its Very Own Horse Armour
We're not horsing around
Back when downloadable content was a controversial subject – when's it ever not been? – you may recall The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion prompting punters to pull out their pitchforks due to its horse armour add-on. Well, either Konami wasn't paying attention or it's taking the p***, because Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom...
TGS 2015 Dragon Quest Builders Crafts a PS4 Gameplay Clip
Minecraft made afresh
Clones can be pretty darn shameless, but Dragon Quest Builders is not your ordinary rip-off – primarily because it actually looks better than Mojang's $2 billion mega brand, Minecraft. Of course, it's utterly bereft of originality – it's a copycat, after all – but what it lacks in innovation it more than makes up for in...
News Shenmue III's Saved, But There's Still Time to Pledge
"Maybe I should donate some?"
Shenmue III raised a record breaking $6.3 million on Kickstarter earlier in the year – but developer Ys Net's looking for more. While this may sound nefarious, the developer did announce at the end of crowd funding campaign that it'd be accepting PayPal pledges eventually – it's just taken it a little time to roll...
News Everyone Will Be Able to Play the Star Wars Battlefront Beta
Sky walker
EA Games could have restricted the Star Wars Battlefront beta to practicing Jedis only, and it would have resulted in some hurried census updates. But the publisher has resisted temptation, revealing that the online stress test will eventually be available to everyone. This means that you'll be able to hop online for free and put the...
TGS 2015 Just How Good Does Gravity Rush Look on PS4?
Not bad at all
PlayStation Vita favourite Gravity Rush is defying physics and falling headfirst onto the PlayStation 4 – in remastered form, of course. And in order to celebrate that fact, Sony is showing off the port at TGS 2015 this week, with attendees encouraged to get hands-on time with Kat and Dusty's topsy-turvy adventure. While we've seen...
TGS 2015 Phwoar, Those PS4 Faceplates Look Fancy in the Flesh
Taste the rainbow
We're sadly not stomping the TGS 2015 show floor, but IGN are, and they've seen something that's caught their eye. No, we're not referring to GREE's lustrous array of booth companions, but those tasty PlayStation 4 faceplates that were announced for the Japanese market earlier in the week. We're not going to embed all of the images...
News This Limited Edition PS4 Is Solid Gold
Well, not quite
We all know that Sony loves a good PlayStation 4 bundle – so much so, in fact, that it's giving away 6,000 systems with Taco Bell's tasty Quesaritos. These aren't any old consoles, however, as they're Limited Edition gold coloured ones, which will only be available from the famous American fast food chain. We already know what...
News Witness The Witness for Yourself from 26th January on PS4
80 hour indie game dated
If you can hear a kind of crackling noise, that's the sound of hell freezing over. The Witness was announced for the PlayStation 4 alongside the console itself, but almost three years later, it's finally ready for release. Braid developer Jonathan Blow has taken to the PlayStation Blog to confirm that the Myst-ical...

News Destiny: The Taken King Is PlayStation's Most Downloaded Day One Game Ever
Hail to the king
Judging purely by the sheer amount of spite Destiny draws from internet users on a daily basis, you'd think that it's a universally hated game. Almost anything related to Bungie's shooter gets picked apart by naysayers all the time - but the simple fact is that Destiny is here to stay, as evidenced by the day one download figures of...
TGS 2015 Samurai Warriors 4 Empires Conquers Europe and North America in Early 2016

Review The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 (PS4)
By the book
The most recent instalment in the series, The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is a whimsical point and click adventure title developed by King Art Games.

TGS 2015 Persona 5's PS4, PS3 Gameplay Trailer Is Downright Incredible
But remember, Summer 2016
You know what's going to make the fact that Persona 5 has been delayed into Summer 2016 even harder to swallow? Its superb Tokyo Game Show trailer. Showcasing more of the role-playing title than ever before, the newest video is brilliant to say the least. Everything from cutscenes to chunks of gameplay are on display,...

[Update: You can find the full trailer through here] We hate to say...
TGS 2015 Metal Gear Online Looks Brilliant and Bonkers
Once more into the fray
We hope that you weren't planning on removing Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain from your PlayStation 4 any time soon, as even if you've somehow managed to finish the story, the equally exciting Metal Gear Online is right around the corner. Set to release from 6th October, publisher Konami is showing off the competitive...
News The Last of Us 2 Is Naughty Dog's Worst Kept Secret
Studio accidentally outs the sequel again
The Last of Us sold millions of copies across the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, so a sequel was probably always inevitable. However, you'd expect developer Naughty Dog to be a bit more discreet about the follow-up, seeing as it hasn't been officially announced yet. Alas, already we've seen employee...

Fight a foreign foe on PS4, Vita
There are no end to the PlayStation 4 and Vita announcements at Tokyo Game Show this week it seems, as Bandai Namco has revealed that it's teaming up with Granzella on a new PlayStation 4 and Vita game that's tentatively titled Project City Shrouded in Shadow. It sounds like an apocalyptic-esque survival adventure,...
TGS 2015 Karin Comes Out Swinging in Street Fighter V

TGS 2015 Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth's First English Trailer Sports Digital Beats
Throwing some shapes
Due to launch in Europe and North America in 2016, it's about time that Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth got its first English trailer. The video that we've embedded introduces you to the role-playing game's story, and your character's role within it. We're especially liking the catchy electronic soundtrack, though, which, as far as...
TGS 2015 Finally, Here's Some Tales of Zestiria PS4 Gameplay
We've been expecting you
With so much focus being placed firmly upon the blockbuster holiday releases of 2015, it's easy to forget about some of the less popular titles that are releasing in the next few months. Tales of Zestiria is perhaps one such game, but judging from its first ever PlayStation 4 gameplay trailer, it certainly shouldn't be...

News Perception Is the Point of Fallout 4's Newest Video
Don't get too cocky there, sport
Fallout 4's educational video series is back, and this time it tackles perception. The perception skill makes you more accurate in VATS mode, and also helps you do some not so legal things - like pickpocketing and picking locks. It goes without saying, but the wacky humour is back and it's actually pretty...
TGS 2015 Brand New Final Fantasy XV Trailer Takes You Back to the Past
And not much else
Just because Final Fantasy XV didn't show up in style at Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference doesn't mean it's going on hiatus for another ten years, as evidenced by this latest trailer that screams "please remember that I exist". Jokes aside, the title's newest clip once again attempts to hit us right in the emotions as...
Burn baby burn
Flame Over's hot stuff for two reasons: it's got an eye for terribad puns and if you invest the effort it's actually a lot of fun. Laughing Jackal's self-described pyroguelike launched on the PlayStation Vita earlier in the year, offering the fiercest fire fighting foray on PlayStation since Konami's forgotten third-person douser...
First Impressions Destiny: The Taken King PS4 Marks a Clear Improvement
Taking us back
Year two of Destiny is well and truly under way with the release of The Taken King – the shooter's largest piece of downloadable content to date. We still struggle to call The Dark Below and House of Wolves 'expansions', but there's no denying that this newest add-on fits the bill. You'd expect this, of course, from an expensive...
News PS4 Freebie Grow Home Is Ubisoft's Fastest Ever PlayStation Download
BUD for you
It won the Vote to Play poll on the PlayStation 4, but there's more good news for Grow Home's botanical bot BUD, as the platformer has become Ubisoft's fastest ever download on PlayStation formats. The game exceeded 1.5 million "sales" within its first week – but this success can of course be attributed to the fact that it was given...
News FIFA 16's Commercial Features Some Fancy Footwork
Play beautiful
You may want to turn your speakers down for this FIFA 16 commercial as the operatic theme is a little, shall we say, noisy. Still, this is a pretty nifty trailer featuring a vast array of famous faces, from Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero right the way through to Kobe Bryant. United States forward Alex Morgan also puts in an appearance...
TGS 2015 Gravity Rush's PS4 Box Art Is Just Brilliant
Such a rush
Gravity Rush – also known as Gravity Daze in Japan – is one of the most underappreciated properties on PlayStation, but Sony's giving protagonist Kat another bite of the apple with a PlayStation 4 version of the Vita original. The title – which is due out later this year in Japan and next February in the West – is being developed...
TGS 2015 The Last Guardian Will Appear at the PlayStation Booth, But Not in the Way You Think
Bird brain
The Last Guardian will be playable at the Tokyo Game Show this week, but not with a DualShock 4 controller. Team ICO's long awaited adventure title will be present in the PlayStation booth, but instead of preparing a PlayStation 4 demo for attendees to try, Gen Design – the company created by director Fumito Ueda – has instead built a...
News Minecraft: Story Mode Begins Its Quest on PS4, PS3 from 13th October
Block buster
Minecraft: Story Mode has the potential to be the biggest thing since breaking bricks with your fists or a colossal flop – but whichever paved path it takes, we'll find out soon. Telltale Games has confirmed on the PlayStation Blog that the first episode, The Order of the Stone, will launch on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 from...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Numbers Drop Like a Rock Just Two Weeks After Metal Gear Solid V
Falling without style
Well, there goes that. At this point, it's abundantly clear that the PlayStation 4 is currently incapable of maintaining any kind of momentum in its homeland, as Sony's latest console saw its sales plummet by around 35,000 units. The new-gen machine saw a boost in popularity following the launch of Metal Gear Solid V: The...
Weirdness Star Wars Battlefront Is Even Being Sold with a Han-Solo Fridge
This is going to get silly, isn't it?
Just in case you didn't get the memo, Star Wars is about to blow up all over again in a big way. The hype surrounding The Force Awakens is already unbearable, and that means that everyone wants a piece of the action. Sony's smartly buddied up with EA Games for the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront, and now...
News Need for Speed PS4 Leaves Microtransactions in the Showroom
Free content updates planned instead
Need for Speed – the abruptly named PlayStation 4 racing reboot coming this year from Ghost Games – has run over the concept of microtransactions, squashing them and leaving them by the side of the ride. Ill conceived criminal terminology aside, the developer has stated that it wants to keep its upcoming...
TGS 2015 Here's Your First Bloody Chunk of Attack on Titan PS4 Gameplay
Just about what you'd expect
Koei Tecmo's upcoming Attack on Titan game looks true to the source material, if its first trailer is anything to go by. The title didn't show its hulking face at Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference, but we assume that you'll be seeing a lot more of it in the coming months anyway. That said, there's not a...
Reaction PlayStation's TGS 2015 Presser Picks Up from Sony's Stellar E3
TGSuccess
With each PlayStation press conference, these reaction articles are getting harder to write. There was a time when we could strongly criticise Sony's stage shows; bad pacing, notable absentees, and a general lack of PlayStation Vita have all been common criticisms over the years. But with the manufacturer cleaning up its act and the...

TGS 2015 PS4's Price Drop Extends to Asia As Well
Could the West be next?
Do we still think that Sony's not going to drop the price of the PlayStation 4 globally before the holidays are over?

TGS 2015 These Are the Games That Sony Will Be Exhibiting in Tokyo
Join the queue
With the platform holder's press conference now a delicious but distant memory, Sony's turning its attention to the Tokyo Game Show proper – and in particular the titles that will be on display.

Store Update 15th September 2015 (North America)
The last Guardian
Destiny: The Taken King is the main attraction on the North American PlayStation Store this week, as evidenced by the ostentatious banner image on the PlayStation Blog post.

TGS 2015 Summer Lesson Will Be PlayStation VR's Best Seller

TGS 2015 Persona 5 Teaser Website Provides New Hope
Patience is a virtue
Persona 5's absence from Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference earlier today was bizarre, but there's still hope for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 sequel yet. In addition to a stage show which is scheduled to take place on 19th September, eagle-eyed NeoGAF users have unearthed a 'Coming Soon' teaser website for the...
News The Best Games Are on PS4, Sony Commercial Claims
Hard to argue, honestly
Considering how popular the PlayStation 4 has become, it was always going to get some stick. The system's been breaking sales records left and right, and we reckon that's clouded the judgement of some when it comes to the sheer variety of software available on the device. But events like today's pre-TGS press conference go...
TGS 2015 Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Shines in Japanese Trailer
Drake's fortune
There's nothing new in this Uncharted 4: A Thief's End trailer, but Naughty Dog's forthcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive looks so darn good that it's worth a watch anyway. Sony released the clip earlier today to coincide with its Tokyo Game Show press conference, where it confirmed that the title will deploy day and date with its...
Store Update 15th September 2015 (Europe)
Return of the king
We really must stop introducing these Store Update posts with clichés like "it's a big week on the PlayStation Store" – but this tends to be a universal truth at the minute. Destiny: The Taken King is obviously the major attraction this time, but a mention must go to PES 2016: Pro Evolution Soccer, too. What's caught your eye?...
Round Up What Did Sony Announce for PS4, PS3, Vita During Its Pre-TGS Presser?
All of the news
Two press conferences down, two home runs. Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show media briefing was never going to better its fantastical E3 2015 offering, but with decent pacing and a lot of content, it was another strong showing from the Japanese giant. Sure, the presser lacked a knock-out finish – the ten or so minutes spent talking about...
TGS 2015 Square Enix's Tokyo RPG Factory Unveils Fantasy RPG for PS4, Vita
Ikenie to Yuki no Setsuna due in 2016
Do you remember at E3 2015 when Square Enix announced that it had formed a new outfit named Tokyo RPG Factory?

TGS 2015 Dragon Quest Builders Constructs a Yellow Brick Path to PS4, PS3, Vita
Mine and craft in Square Enix's spin-off
Japan's biggest game of 2016 may be one that you least expect, as Dragon Quest Builders is shaping up to be every inch the commercial smash. Square Enix's block breaking role-playing release promises to give Minecraft's occasionally mindless brick busting a bit of structure – while also augmenting the...
TGS 2015 Star Ocean 5 Sails to Japanese Stores Early Next Year
Western release date can't be too far behind

Earlier today during Sony's Tokyo Game Show press conference, Square Enix revealed that the role-playing game is launching on the 25th February in Japan, and showcased new...
TGS 2015 Just Cause 3 Looks Explosively Bonkers in This PS4 Trailer
Off the chain
Just Cause 3 received a suitably insane, and mercifully brief, trailer at Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show conference today. The clip sees series protagonist Rico Rodriguez performing all manner of perilous and irresponsible acts - such as back-flipping off a car which is conveniently falling into a chasm. In truth, there's not a whole lot...

TGS 2015 Resident Evil Umbrella Corps Gets Competitive on PS4
Dead to rights
Between all of the Resident Evil remasters and the surprisingly strong Resident Evil Revelations 2, you may be forgiven for thinking that Capcom's flagship horror franchise is returning to its roots. Clearly the Japanese publisher has other ideas, however, as it's revealed Resident Evil Umbrella Corps – a kind of competitive shooter...
TGS 2015 The King of Fighters XIV Roundhouse Kicks onto PS4
Mai goodness
The latest game in the long-running King of Fighters franchise was today announced at Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference.
