Gamescom 2015 PS4 RPG The Technomancer Looks Gritty and Promising
Mars attacks
Spiders, the studio behind the somewhat decent Bound by Flame, has released its first trailer for The Technomancer - a sci-fi, post-apocalyptic role-playing game - and it's looking reasonably promising. Clocking in at just under two minutes, there's not a whole lot to see, but we're liking the atmosphere and aspects of the art...
Gamescom 2015 We Want to Be More Respectful of Players' Time with Destiny, Says Bungie
Update 2.0 brings the biggest changes to the game yet
Bungie's really trying to shake things up with Destiny: The Taken King. Whether this is because it wants to secure a few more pre-orders for the expansion or because it's keen to get lapsed players back into the game, we obviously can't say, but the developer's clearly trying to switch things up...
Gamescom 2015 This Trailer Has Everything You Need to Know About Nobunaga's Ambition
Ambitious is right
Koei Tecmo is pushing Nobunaga's Ambiton: Sphere of Influence hard at Gamescom 2015, so it's no surprise that the publisher has released a brand new trailer for the strategy title. Showcasing just about everything that you can expect from the feudal escapade, it's shaping up to be a promising game for those of you interested in...
Review Galak-Z: The Dimensional (PS4)
Set phasers to fun
It's safe to say that Galak-Z: The Dimensional is a game of charm and personality. Everything from the retro Asteroids-style gameplay to the 80s cartoon style just screams charisma, making it possibly one of the most loveable games of this generation so far. Let's start with the basics: you play as A-Tak, space pilot...
Review Skullgirls 2nd Encore (PS4)
Needs more meat on its bones
Back in 2012, new fighting franchise Skullgirls was widely praised for its creativity and dynamic fighting systems; launchers, air-dashes, team assists, custom assists, snapbacks, blockbuster combos, wall bounces, ground bounces, superfluous bounces, and more were all crammed into the ambitious title. The game has now...
Gamescom 2015 Here's 30 Minutes of Super Detailed Metal Gear Solid V PS4 Gameplay
The mother of all bases
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is going to be an absolutely huge game. Between lengthy story cutscenes, open world exploration, and tons of optional objectives, it's going to take some serious investment to see everything on offer - especially when you consider Hideo Kojima's penchant for well-hidden secrets. But wait...
Gamescom 2015 PS4 Exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn Targeting 2016 Still
Delay rumours debunked
There were a spate of nasty rumours suggesting that promising PlayStation 4 exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn had been pushed into 2017 yesterday, but Guerrilla Games has debunked the reports, stressing that nothing has changed since E3 2015. "I just wanted to let you all know that we are targeting a 2016 release date," senior...
Gamescom 2015 Competitive Call of Duty Will Be Played on PS4 from Now On
On target
If this year's Gamescom has reminded us of anything, it's that "professional" gaming is a thing. Last night's Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 conference was built around the very idea of eSports, while Microsoft's briefing featured a "former Halo coach" commentating on a match. Yeah, the whole thing makes our skin crawl, too – but apparently...
Gamescom 2015 Final Fantasy XV Will Launch in 2016 on PS4
"We get the feeling that people are a bit worried"
Associate editor Robert Ramsey was close to tears yesterday when Final Fantasy XV's anticipated Active Time Report served up a measly 90 seconds of new gameplay footage. But speaking with GameSpot at Gamescom 2015, director Hajime Tabata has dropped the bigg
Gamescom 2015 Borderlands Dev's PS4 FPS Battleborn Aims at February
Born to be wild
Gearbox Software's MOBA meets first-person shooter Battleborn will level up on 9th February, publisher 2K Games has revealed as part of a Gamescom 2015 trailer. The forthcoming PlayStation 4 affair will launch with a total of 25 playable characters, each packing unique weapons and skill trees. Much like in DOTA 2, you'll be able to...
Gamescom 2015 Lara Croft's Next Adventure Likely Won't Be Late on PS4
Well, that's a relief
Everyone in the entertainment industry is absolutely obsessed with trilogies, so it's no surprise to learn that Crystal Dynamics has three games mapped out for Tomb Raider's current story arc. Square Enix boss Phil Rogers let the snippet slip during an interview with GameSpot earlier today, describing Lara Croft's latest...
Gamescom 2015 Sorry, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 Still Looks Crap
Face plant
Sometimes you've just got to laugh. We're sure that Robomodo is working hard on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, and there's no doubt that the Birdman is passionate about the brand – but Activision should really stop releasing screenshots for this upcoming PlayStation 4 sequel now. The original batch looked awful, but since E3 2015 the...
Gamescom 2015 Ubisoft's Still Trying to Flog The Crew
Publisher overhauling PS4 racer's visuals
We weren't all that enamoured with The Crew when it released on the PlayStation 4 last year, but kudos to Ubisoft, it's not pumping the brakes on the brand just yet. In fact, upcoming expansion Wild Ride is more than just your average DLC pack – it's going to launch alongside a brand new graphics engine...
Gamescom 2015 Prepare to Die with Dark Souls III PS4 Footage
Dead to rights
And all it took was a quick glimpse of off-screen gameplay to sell Push Square Towers on the forthcoming Dark Souls III. We've been up-and-down on this sequel since its announcement at E3 2015; the prospect of a third entry in From Software's oft-frustrating franchise is exciting, of course, but we weren't sure whether we were ready...
Gamescom 2015 Mega Man Legacy Collection Aims for PS4 from 25th August
Get ready to dodge pixels
Mega Man fans, rejoice: not only will you be getting a great collection of the blue bomber's first six games, but it's coming out later this month. The Mega Man Legacy Collection will go digital for $15.00 on 25th August, and a boxed retail release - exclusive to North America for now - will follow soon after in early 2016,...
News Microsoft: Sony's Buying Lots of Third-Party Exclusives for PS4
Xbox focusing on first-party, apparently
If there's one thing that Xbox chief Phil Spencer likes to do it's chat about the competition – although, to be fair, he was asked on this occasion. In a fairly wide-ranging interview with GameSpot, the ex-Microsoft Game Studios head insinuated that Sony's buying up plenty of third-party exclusives for the...
Gamescom 2015 Dragon Age: Inquisition's Next Expansion Shakes Things Up
Looks pretty deep
Is your Inquisitor yearning for yet more adventure? If so, you're in luck, because Dragon Age: Inquisition's next expansion has been announced.

Gamescom 2015 90 Seconds of Final Fantasy XV Gameplay Is All You're Getting
We should have seen this coming
Well wasn't that a colossal waste of time? Final Fantasy XV's live Active Time Report has just ended, and the only thing of any real worth that we got was 90 seconds of new gameplay footage - and even then, we're stretching that particular description. The clip shows Noctis and the gang making their way down to an...
Seas the day
What if the combat-free opening hour of BioShock Infinite stretched on for much longer? Indeed, what if you could explore the beautiful ruins of a destroyed city without having to constantly fend for your life? Submerged – a game developed by ex-Bioshock staffers, incidentally – attempts to answer these very questions. But does this...

Gamescom 2015 We Hope You're Not Betting on Final Fantasy XV Getting a Release Date Today
Call off the party
At the time of writing, we're just twenty or so minutes away from Final Fantasy XV's Gamescom 2015 livestream. The game missed out on putting in an appearance at E3 so it could come back with a bang at the German convention, but it's time to put a dampener on your potential hype, we're afraid. Many were hoping that the title...
News Phwoar, This Horizon: Zero Dawn PS4 Theme Is a Beauty
Meching the difference
PlayStation Heroes is a monthly initiative that sees most of the proceeds made from the selling of exclusive PlayStation 4 themes donated to charity, and August's theme is a real beauty. Based on upcoming open world mech-'em-up Horizon: Zero Dawn, the skin presents a colourful and detailed backdrop for your new-gen system...
Gamescom 2015 Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Dons the Best Ever Ray-Bans in New Screens
City of glasses
Not every game needs to have a brand new trailer for Gamescom 2015, y'know. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is one such title that, so far, has opted for a fresh set of screenshots, rather than a fancy pants new video for you to watch. In the images, we see gruff protagonist Adam Jensen modelling his new sunglasses and glorious goatee,...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Nothing to See Here, Go Back to Gamescom News
Off you go
Imagine writing a story about the Japanese hardware and software charts on a day when every game under the sun is getting Gamescom 2015 coverage. An atrocious process for all those involved, we're sure that you'll agree, but we do this every week, so we suppose that we're bound by duty. So, what's happening in Japan? The answer: bugger...
Gamescom 2015 Here's Your First Look at Mafia III Gameplay on PS4
All along the watchtower
Mafia III has been officially announced. Developed by Hangar 13 and due out in 2016 on the PlayStation 4, you can catch the first trailer through here. The game casts you as mixed race mobster Lincoln Clay, who's out to get revenge on Italian gangsters in 1968 New Orleans. But while this is all interesting, how does it...
Gamescom 2015 Mafia III PS4 Trailer Hangs in the House of the Rising Sun
New Orleans, New Orleans
2K Games is aiming to pin a new face on organised crime in 2016, as Mafia III muscles its way onto the PlayStation 4 with an all-new protagonist: Lincoln Clay. Set in 1968, the mixed race mob leader will front a yarn all about inequality, as New Orleans serves as the backdrop for a story that both sounds ambitious and...
Gamescom 2015 The Assembly for Project Morpheus Has Plenty of Potential
Look around you
Despite being little more than a year away from release, we're yet to see anything meaty for Sony's forthcoming Project Morpheus headset. The tech demos have been intriguing, there's no doubt about that – but it's about time we saw some meatier experiences. The Assembly is one such title, a morally ambiguous adventure in which...
News Mighty No. 9 Misfires, Delayed Until 2016
Not so mega, man
Mighty No. 9 will indeed say nein [Yes, we're recycling that one – Ed] to its previously planned 15th September release, as Comcept has confirmed in a since pulled forum post that the Mega Man-esque escapade has been delayed. The news follows the conclusion of creator Keiji Inafune's failed Red Ash Kickstarter – we're sure...
Gamescom 2015 Need for Speed's Cut-Scenes Will Make You Cringe
But that's the point
Need for Speed may be about to overtake Until Dawn in the dumb department – and that's a sentence that we never thought we'd type. A new trailer for the forthcoming PlayStation 4 reboot shows off the title's FMV cut-scenes, which are every bit as embarrassingly cheesy as you could imagine. No sign of Razor Callahan yet,...
Gamescom 2015 10 Years Later and the 'Story Begins' with Final Fantasy XV's Dawn Trailer
Shed a tear
We're not sure what to make of Final Fantasy XV's Gamescom 2015 trailer. On the one hand, yes, it is actually a new look at the game. On the other, it doesn't really show much at all. Featuring a young Noctis and his regretful father, it's a pretty emotional clip, but it's hard not to feel like we need something more at this point. With...
Gamescom 2015 Assassin's Creed Syndicate Enjoys an English Frye Up
London's calling
There are no eggs and bacon in this Assassin's Creed Syndicate trailer – just protagonists Jacob and Evie Frye. A mood piece released right at the start of Gamescom 2015, this is Ubisoft's trailer making team at its best; it doesn't tell us a whole lot new about the game, but it sure managed to get us hyped for this holiday's trip...
Gamescom 2015 Attack on Titan Will Eat You Alive on PS4, PS3, and Vita in 2016
Mmmm, crunchy
Well, it's happening: Attack on Titan is coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and Vita in 2016, Koei Tecmo has confirmed. There are currently no details on how the game plays, but we do know that it's being developed by Omega Force - the studio behind the Warriors games. It's not like it's got much else going on, right? In any...
Gamescom 2015 FIFA 16 Is All About the Banter
Different style of Pele
Sports games: the bane of most EA press conferences. FIFA 16 has always looked out of place at E3 – everyone remembers the infamous Pele interview – but in Cologne it was at home, showing off some new features and dispelling all of the "just another roster update" rumours. The new headline feature is FUT Draft, shown off...
Gamescom 2015 Pre-Order Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 to Get Your Grass Effect On
Crazy Dave is BioWare's biggest fan
It's not easy to get people to pay attention to Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 – after all, the release looks pretty weedy on stage next to Mirror's Edge Catalyst and Star Wars: Battlefront. That said, EA has attempted to pique our interest by announcing some Mass Effect themed content – aptly renamed,...
Gamescom 2015 Unravel Three Minutes of EA's Cute PS4 Puzzle Platformer
Spin a Yarny
Unravel, the upcoming puzzle platformer from Swedish studio Coldwood, continues to look unbearably adorable. A brand new demo shown during EA's big Gamescom 2015 presser showed protagonist Yarny attempting to navigate a borderline photorealistic beach environment. The rising tide makes things difficult for our fabric friend, but by...
Gamescom 2015 Metal Gear Solid V's New Gameplay Trailer Is Bloody Good
Heaven or Hell
We'd be lying if we said that the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain hype wasn't pumping through our veins right now. With the game releasing in just under a month, it's perhaps time to jump aboard the train and ride it all the way to the station - a station probably covered in blood and the terrors of war. Needless to say, the...
Gamescom 2015 Run Away with Fresh Mirror's Edge Catalyst PS4 Footage
Faith no more
Mirror's Edge Catalyst was treated to a little more attention during EA's big Gamescom 2015 press conference this morning than it got at E3 2015, with a full gameplay demo showing various aspects from the February free running foray. In it, we saw protagonist Faith infiltrate a skyscraper, irritate an Andrew Wilson look-a-like, and leg...
Gamescom 2015 Destiny's Rousing New Trailer Celebrates Badass Guardians
Here's to you
Following the good news that Destiny is ditching those bloody light levels, we reckon that there's cause for celebration. Thankfully, Bungie's released a new trailer that's all about you, the Guardians, and it's pretty entertaining. The rousing new video features plenty of footage from The Taken King - the shooter's upcoming...
Gamescom 2015 Star Wars: Battlefront Brings the Dogfight of Your Dreams to PS4
Flyin' high
As teased earlier in the week, EA has announced Star Wars: Battlefront's flashy Fighter Squadron mode – a dogfighting option which will see you piloting iconic aircrafts such as X-Wings, TIE-Fighters, and, amazingly, the Millennium Falcon online. It's worth stressing that these aren't space battles – they'll take place above the...
News Some Massive Gameplay Changes Are Coming to Destiny
Bungie's ditching light levels
Listen up, Guardians, because this is big news. As we're sure you're all aware by now, Destiny's third and biggest expansion, The Taken King, launches next month. Its arrival takes the level cap to 40, which no doubt has some of you excited, but things perhaps aren't as they seem. According to Game Informer, the...

Set to begin at 10:00AM local time, the publisher's promising to bring plenty of Star Wars: Battlefront and Mirror's Edge Catalyst to Germany this year – and we can only dream that Mass Effect: Andromeda will join...
News You've All Spent Far Too Much Time Playing Destiny, Some Would Argue
Activision releases crazy stats
2 billion hours. 2 billion hours. That's how long you lot have collectively played Destiny for, according to Activision. The mega-publisher revealed the frankly shocking figure along with its most recent financial report, and we're still trying to wrap our heads around it. Apparently, that means that on average, each...
News PS4 Games Limbo to Lower Prices in Sizzling NA Summer Sale
How low can you go?
It's getting hot in here, so loosen up your PlayStation Network wallet: Sony's big Summer Sale is set to make you sweat for another week, with a slew of North American savings certain to have you dancing in your underpants. Alright, it's not that good – but who could argue with Danganronpa 2 for $16.00? Once again it's the...
Store Update 4th August 2015 (North America)
Submerge yourself in the PlayStation Store
As in Europe, this week's North American PlayStation Store update is a little on the light side – although the likes of Submerged and Galak-Z should hold your attention until some of the heavier hitters arrive a little later in the month. There's also the continuation of Sony's scorching summer sale, so...
News PS4's Rocket League to Race onto Other Platforms in the Future
Victory lap
Rocket League, the brilliant half-soccer, half-racer sim from Psyonix, is making its way to other platforms, the developer has confirmed.

Gamescom 2015 Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Screens Are Oscar Mike
Ooorah
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 may have had a pretty muted lead up to release, but that won't stop it from ultimately being one of the biggest games of the year. And at Gamescom 2015 this week, Activision is attempting to inject a little extra enthusiasm for the first-person shooter – starting with a brand new batch of single player and...
Review King's Quest - Chapter I: A Knight to Remember (PS4)
A knight to consider
Developed by The Odd Gentlemen, Sierra's wonderfully strange point-and-click King's Quest franchise is finally resurrected with a new, episodic tale that is set to span six chapters in total – the first of which being the rather cunningly titled A Knight to Remember. The story begins with Graham, the king of Daventry – the...
Reaction Did Xbox Make Its Gamescom 2015 Presser Pay?
Was the Redmond firm able to capitalise on Sony's no-show?
Sony's got the biggest presence on the Gamescom 2015 showfloor, but unlike in previous years it's not holding a press conference. We already knew this, of course, as the company announced that it would be skipping the show all the way back in May. This is because, according to the...
News Destiny Says Goodbye Dinklebot as Nolan North Replaces Game of Thrones Actor
At least he won't be as crap crap crap
With such memorable lines as "who's she talking to?" and "where's his Ghost?" all delivered in the most monotone way imaginable, Destiny's Ghost companion, voiced by Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage, somehow didn't make a good enough impression to feature in the shooter's upcoming expansion, The Taken King...
Gamescom 2015 Cities: Skylines Constructing a Path to Consoles
Sim city
This one stings: critically acclaimed city building simulation Cities: Skylines will make its console debut on the Xbox One. Microsoft gleefully made the announcement during its Gamescom 2015 press conference earlier today. Of course, every man made cloud has a silver lining, and the wording of the reveal leads us to believe that a...
Gamescom 2015 Homefront: The Revolution Raises Its Weapon to 2016
Gun to know
"They should really make a new Homefront game," said absolutely no one ever – but it's bloody happening anyway. After a bit of a corporate cock-up involving THQ having no money and latterly Crytek having no money, Far Cry: Brown & Grey Edition is finally due out next year under the name Homefront: The Revolution. Deep Silver, who...
Gamescom 2015 New Just Cause 3 Gameplay Packs as Many Explosions as Possible
Boom town
Oh Rico, when will your lust for fiery explosions ever be satisfied? We're not sure if that question has an answer, but Just Cause 3's protagonist doesn't seem to be giving up on a life of chaos any time soon. The sandbox title's newest trailer is more of the same, but we doubt anyone's really complaining. The carnage on display looks...
Gamescom 2015 Dark Souls 3 Looks Deadly in Its First Slice of Gameplay
Top goth
Dark Souls fans will already know what to expect from Dark Souls 3, and as such, the action role-playing game's new trailer is probably exactly as you'd imagine it to be. Featuring plenty of gothic imagery and big bloody monsters, it's 100 per cent From Software. It's the gameplay that's the real draw of this clip, though, even if it does...
Gamescom 2015 Rise of the Tomb Raider Goes Gung-Ho in Gameplay Trailer
Killer Croft
Crystal Dynamics looked to Uncharted for inspiration for its Tomb Raider reboot, and it looks like the developer's used Naughty Dog as a guide again. This time the studio's latest takes more than a few cues from The Last of Us, as we see protagonist Lara Croft sneaking through an enemy base Rambo-style, slitting lots of throats. The...
Store Update 4th August 2015 (Europe)
The calm before the storm
Barring a few downloadable titles, it's slim pickings this week on the European PlayStation Store. Galak-Z is the headline PlayStation 4 act, while Submerged also sloshes onto Sony's latest console, but other than that, there really isn't much to write home about. In fact, this is probably one of the smallest updates that...
News Sounds Like PS4 Exclusive DriveClub's Getting New Music
Splash wave
Historically, Evolution Studios has a pretty good track record when it comes to soundtracks. This author was particularly fond of MotorStorm: Apocalypse's music, which employed remixes of an original orchestral theme. DriveClub's a massive disappointment in that department, however – even if its engine sounds make up for the lack of...
News Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Delays Its Ninja War Into 2016
Here's a cool trailer, though
The writing was on the wall but we didn't want to believe. Last week, it was confirmed that Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 was to be delayed into 2016 in Japan, and as expected, the delay has hit us here in the West, too. Originally scheduled to launch at some point in the autumn, Bandai Namco has revealed...

Gamescom 2015 Mad Max Gets Philosophical in Fresh PS4 Trailer
Wasteland wanderer
Mad Max is about more than flying fists and exploding vehicles – who knew? To be fair, while this trailer does attempt to add a bit of fictional interest to proceedings, it's the punch-ups and colliding cars that will keep you watching. The clip's supposed to offer a brief glimpse at the various outposts that the protagonist...
Gamescom 2015 A New Dawn Beckons in Final Fantasy XV
Noctis again
Stealing a page from EA's playbook, Square Enix has released a teaser for Final Fantasy XV's forthcoming Gamescom 2015 trailer. The clip – which promises that a new dawn is about to break – shows dogs, cars, and clouds. To be honest, we're disappointed by the lack of crystals, but the full video will probably right that wrong...

In the clip, we see protagonist Faith being chased, as she scouts out a...
Gamescom 2015 Star Wars: Battlefront Fighter Squadron Footage Flies In
TIE die
How can you tell that there's a major video games convention right around the corner? Because publishers are putting out agonisingly short teaser trailers for all of their upcoming wares, of course. We already knew that a new mode would be revealed for Star Wars: Battlefront this week, but now we have a name: Fighter Squadron. As expected,...

Kept you waiting, huh?
It's not been a great day for Konami, with Japanese newspaper Nikkei reporting some pretty nasty things about its corporate culture.

Superhero selfies
Bruce Wayne's no Peter Parker, but Batman: Arkham Knight's rain-slicked interpretation of Gotham City is just too darn pretty to ignore. As such, the latest PlayStation 4 patch for Rocksteady Studios' miserable superhero sequel will add an ever-popular Photo Mode to the mix, allowing you to commit the title's bleak urban streets to...

News Sony's Got Some Good Stuff Lined Up for Gamescom 2015
Third-party partners picking up the slack
It's a bit of a weird week here at Push Square Towers to be honest. We're on red alert ahead of Gamescom 2015, but with the curtain literally just closing on E3 2015, we're not quite sure how busy we're going to be. Furthering our uncertainty is the fact that Sony's delayed its annual European press...
Out This Week Galak-Z, Submerged, AeternoBlade
Out of this world
It's hardly a vintage week for new releases in the PlayStation Nation, with all eyes pointed purposefully at Gamescom 2015 rather than Sony's storefront. Still, there are a handful of smaller digital downloads vying for your attention in the guise of Galak-Z and Submerged. The question is: what are you buyin'? Pick of the Week:...

Many of you experience a very British apocalypse every day, when you hop on the London underground at 7AM in order to get to work.

News Nikkei Report Paints a Dark Picture of Konami
Metal Gear Solid V budget over $80 million
You may hate your job, but at least you don't work for Konami. An article published by respected Japanese newspaper Nikkei has shed a little light on conditions at the Japanese company of late, and there's some mind blowing stuff in here. This follows the news that Kojima Productions has been disbanded and
