News This Week's Free Witcher 3 DLC's Specifically for Ciri
Looking good
This is going to be a pretty short news story, we're afraid. This week's free The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt downloadable content has been revealed, and it's an alternate outfit for main character Ciri. Rather than her usual, somewhat casual Witcher gear, you'll be able to dress the heroine up in some more rugged clothing. The add-on was...
Review Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward (PS4)
Just like heaven
Final Fantasy XIV has a history of improvement. Since its initial launch, it's already gone through a major revision titled A Realm Reborn, but now we're ready for its first expansion, Heavensward. Welcome to Ishgard, frozen battleground between knights and dragons. Since the cliff-hanger ending in patch v2.55, players have been...
News You'll Probably Hear More About Mass Effect: Andromeda in the Near Future
Space to breathe
After a rather stunted showing at E3 2015, fans have unsurprisingly been clamouring for more information regarding Mass Effect: Andromeda ever since. The next instalment in BioWare's sci-fi series is currently deep in development, but that hasn't stopped the studio from supposedly showing some of the title off at San Diego Comic-Con...
On the Button, or in the pits?
After some unfortunate delays, Codemasters finally wheels out its debut F1 game for the current generation of consoles. Fans who have stayed with the series in its many iterations on the PlayStation 3 can now at last spin around Silverstone with the teams and drivers of the new season along with their new machines...
News Hitman PS4 Gameplay Footage Sneaks Online
Served up in secret
While there's been much confusion regarding Hitman's distribution method, we've been more bemused by publisher Square Enix's decision to conceal a release that's due out in less than six months. This leaked gameplay footage is almost certain to get whacked by the organisation in no time at all, then – but at least it gives us...
News PlayStation All-Stars Pirouette into Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5
Board to death
Sony's continuing to pimp out some of its popular protagonists, with the awful-looking Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 being the latest game to take the bait. Writing on the PlayStation Blog, developer Robomodo has confirmed that Sweet Tooth, Ratchet, and Sackboy will all be donning their elbow pads and hitting the half-pipe in Activision's...
News UK Sales Charts: F1 2015 Takes Pole Position on PS4
Vroom
F1 2015 had enough fuel in its tank to overtake Batman: Arkham Knight this week, as the Codemasters developed racer has soared to the summit of the UK sales charts. The first PlayStation 4 adaptation of the iconic motorsport improved upon the sales of its previous gen predecessor by a whopping 367 per cent – though it's worth noting that F1...
News Don't Hold Your Breath for Backwards Compatibility on PS4
"Our focus is creating PS4 games"
During E3 2015, one of Microsoft's biggest 'wow' moments came when it announced that the Xbox One would be gaining the ability to play Xbox 360 titles via a backwards compatibility service. It was a move that had the crowd clapping furiously, and as you'd expect, there's been a big call from PlayStation fans that...
News Maybe You Should Visit Shenmue III's Official Website
Some other time
With just four days left to go on Kickstarter, Ys Net has recovered Shenmue III's official website from beneath the Hazuki clan's cherry tree. The site, which is crudely put together, includes some early gameplay footage from the foray – complete with some expectedly awful voice acting – as well as a brief overview of the...
Push Rewind The Witcher 3 PS4 Patches, Rocket League, And Not a Whole Lot Else
Say what you want
If the industry was ever going to take a week off, it picked the right one. Push Square Towers has been too busy perched in front of the tennis to talk about video games – but given the overall winners, this author kinda wished that he hadn't bothered. In all seriousness, it's been a quiet few days on Planet PlayStation. Still,...
News Street Fighter V's Already Sounding Slammin'
\m/
Ultra Street Fighter IV was, in many ways, the perfect fighting game – but we'd point to its weird techno soundtrack as one of its only flaws. Street Fighter V sounds like it won't be making the same mistake, as a handful of audio samples have made their way onto the web – and they're much closer to what you'd expect from Capcom's iconic...
News Sony Wants to Amplify Indie Scene in Japan
Bold goals
Indie games represent a gigantic part of the market in Europe and North America right now, but they're less popular in Japan. We're starting to see developers like Yu Suzuki, Keiji Inafune, and Koji Igarashi break away from big publishers in order to go it alone, but these examples are rare. Speaking at the BitSummit convention in Kyoto,...
News Assassin's Creed Syndicate Short Proves There's No Place Like London
Good stuff, guv'nor
Assassin's Creed Syndicate was out in force at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, fighting against austerity for the poor people back in the UK. Actually, that's a lie – Ubisoft was merely showing off the latest entry in its stealth series in order to secure a few more pre-orders. Rather than demo some new gameplay footage,...
News Crypt of the NecroDancer Is Waltzing onto PS4, Vita
No release date given
Cha-chaing from PC to the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita is Crypt of the NecroDancer, a rhythm-based, roguelike dungeon crawler.

Soccar
Rocket League is the most moreish multiplayer game since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 75
New balls, please
The weekend has finally arrived, which means that it's Wimbledon finals time.

As such, let's get this latest edition of WAYP...
News Sony to Host PlayStation Press Conference in Shanghai on 29th July
China joy
They've made such minimal impact that you may be forgiven for forgetting that the PlayStation 4 and Vita recently launched in China, but Sony will be holding a press conference in Shanghai on 29th July in order to discuss its future plans for the formats in the potentially lucrative territory. Big names like Andrew House – the president...
News Yu Suzuki Hints at Fresh Shenmue III Trailer
FREE at last
This is it: the final push. Shenmue III is a week away from being funded, and while the past seven days have been kind to the project, it's going to need a massive boost in order to hit some of its latter stretch goals. Fortunately, series creator Yu Suzuki sounds like a man with a plan, and he's hinted as part of a Twitter Q&A that...

It never ends
As promised, CD Projekt Red has revealed the full patch notes for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's upcoming PlayStation 4 update - and it's an absolute monster.

News Date Your Dream Bird in Hatoful Boyfriend on PS4, Vita
Something to crow about
Bizarre bird dating simulation Hatoful Boyfriend will give the PlayStation 4 and Vita a peck on the cheek this month.

This bonkers visual novel – due out on 21st July in Europe and North...
News Just Cause 3's Collector's Edition Includes a Grappling Hook
No, it doesn't actually work
Introducing a whole new kind of pointless tat is Just Cause 3's recently announced collector's edition, which comes with a replica grappling hook. The device has played a big part in the franchise, with hero Rico Rodriguez using it to cause all kinds of chaos, whether it's hanging from the underside of a jet to closing...
News Turn Yourself into a Shenmue III Toy Capsule
Love these
Shenmue III has about week left to make as much money as possible, which means that the pressure's now on for the Kickstarter campaign.

At the time of typing the funding...
News PS4 Doubles the Competition When it Comes to Ubisoft Game Sales
A French favourite
Without an early 2015 blockbuster release, Ubisoft's revenue has taken a hit this year. According to the publisher's latest financial report ending the 30th June, sales have declined by 73 per cent year-on-year. Despite the drop, though, the PlayStation 4 has proven to be the popular choice when it comes to the French company's...
News See Resident Evil 0's Evolution Over the Years
Back from the dead
Resident Evil Zero may have originally released on the GameCube, but it was in development for the Nintendo 64 prior to that.

Weirdness Nuke the Fridge with Call of Duty: Black Ops III's Juggernog Edition
Cold case
Another year, another ludicrously expensive special edition for a Call of Duty game. However, 2015's entry is slightly more interesting, as, alongside the usual tat, it will come packed with a working Call of Duty: Black Ops III themed mini-fridge. Yes, you read that correctly - a working Call of Duty: Black Ops III themed mini-fridge...
News Call of Duty: Black Ops III's Zombie Mode Goes Noir
Voice actors also announced
Although Call of Duty: Black Ops III's main story campaign will be set in the distant future, its take on the series' popular Zombie Mode will play host to a 1940s film-noir setting. A new trailer unveiled at the San Diego Comic Con has given us a glimpse into what's changed – and, perhaps more importantly, what's...

Masters of the Universe
Blonde badass Ken Masters will punch his way into PlayStation 4 and PC exclusive Street Fighter V – not that this should come as much of a surprise.

But it's predominantly a single player experience

News Hitman on PS4 Won't Release as a Full Game, and It'll Be Digital Only at First
Let's try to make sense out of this
You may have seen the new Hitman at E3 2015. You may even have gotten hyped for it. But that hype is slowly draining away for some, as Square Enix has slowly but surely explained how the game won't be releasing in full on the 8th December. Posting a question and answer segment on the title's official website, the...
News Ariana Grande, Charli XCX, Jess Glynne Headline in PS4's NOW That's What I Call Sing

We're not entirely sure whether these are popular around the globe, but the NOW That's What I Call Music compilations are a Christmas staple here in the UK. And now the lucrative brand is getting its own PlayStation 4 game, in the form of NOW That's What I Call Sing. To be honest, it's a terrible title, but it's not like they...
News Samurai Warriors 4-II Conquers a Release Date on PS4, PS3, and Vita
Lightning strikes twice
Before you start, yes, we're well aware that there seems to be a new Warriors game hitting the market every other month, but given the recent quality of Koei's hack and slash franchises, we're not too worried - at least, not yet. The next instalment to be heading West is Samurai Warriors 4-II. Not quite a sequel to the...

The greatest of all time
Not everyone was as jazzed as us at Sony's incredible E3 2015 press conference, but those born during a certain era will have understood the significance of the event.

News Media Molecule Dreaming Up Dreams Beta Trial for PS4
Expect more details at Paris Games Week
There's still some confusion over what Dreams actually is.

Review LEGO Jurassic World (PS4)
LEGOsaurus
These days, if a brand finds itself considered pop-culture then there are two eventualities that are almost a certainty.

Secondly, a LEGO game, incidentally involving irritatingly adorable...

News Gaze Upon 4 Minutes of an Epic Boss Fight in the Dragon's Dogma Online PS4 Beta
Eye for an eye
Bringing down giant monsters was always a treat in Dragon's Dogma on the PlayStation 3.

Fortunately,...
News Bethesda 'Will Do Anything' to Avoid Issues with Your Saved Game in Fallout 4
Glad to hear it
