Reaction Sony's Gamescom 2014 Press Conference Proves It's Finally Learned How to Pace Properly
Problem solved
Sony’s press conference yesterday proved that there’s a wealth of unique content in production for the PlayStation 4 – but it also showed that the platform holder has learned a lesson or two. It feels like
Gamescom 2014 Until Dawn Fuses Heavy Rain with Horror on PS4
Death cabin for cuties
Parisian developer Quantic Dream may have skipped Sony’s press conference yesterday, but fortunately for fans, its style of story-driven games will live on in PlayStation 4 exclusive Until Dawn. Originally announced for the PlayStation 3, but now completely rebuilt for the Japanese giant’s next-gen machine, this title...
Gamescom 2014 Surprise! You Can Create Your Own Outrageously Cool Dragon Ball Character in Xenoverse
What does the scouter say
Remember back when we saw the original magazine scans for upcoming brawler Dragon Ball Xenoverse, and everyone was pondering about the identity of that unknown fighter in the corner of one of the screenshots? Well, if you said that he was probably some sort of custom character, then congratulations — you were spot on...
Gamescom 2014 Microsoft All But Confirms That Rise of the Tomb Raider Will Release on PS4
Pretty much, anyway
Told you so. In an interview with Eurogamer.net, Xbox chief Phil Spencer has admitted that Rise of the Tomb Raider isn’t actually an Xbox One exclusive at all, and that its deal with Square Enix has a set “duration”. That means that,
Gamescom 2014 PS4 Exclusive The Tomorrow Children Doesn't Look Like PixelJunk
It's really complicated, though
Sony’s press conference at Gamescom 2014 centred very much on the weird and wonderful, and the platform holder picked a doozy to kick things off. The Tomorrow Children is the latest title from Kyoto-based PixelJunk creator Q-Games, and marks the developer’s return to 3D games – a point which industry veteran...
Gamescom 2014 The Witcher 3 Looks Bloody Brilliant Once Again in This New Gameplay Trailer
Tales from the swamp
We've said it once and we'll say it again: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt looks bloody fantastic, with an emphasis on bloody.

Lead character Geralt once again finds himself in a...
Gamescom 2014 This Is the Tomb Raider Game You Will Get to Play on PS4
Consolation prize
Still fuming over that Rise of the Tomb Raider exclusivity announcement? Yeah, we’re a bit sore, too – but we’re currently consoling ourselves with the indelible image of Nathan Drake stomping on Lara Croft’s perfect face. That’ll learn her. Still, as developer Crystal Dynamics so vali
Gamescom 2014 Dragon Age: Inquisition Looks Remarkably Pretty in These New Trailers
Nobody expects the Dragon Age: Inquisition
EA started its fairly lousy Gamescom conference this morning with a lengthy demo of incoming RPG Dragon Age: Inquisition. Some fairly juicy details were also dropped, including the news that the game features nine classes, with more than 20 specialisations, as well as over 200 weapons and spells, and all...
Gamescom 2014 Pix the Cat Brings Crazy Arcade Action to PS4 and Vita
Catception
If you remember spending all of your time on your mobile phone playing Snake before the days of the App Store and smartphones, you're going to love Pastagames' upcoming Pix the Cat. Coming to the PlayStation 4 and Vita this year, you play as a blue cat named Pix, as he runs around maps, collecting chicks that follow him to rack up the...
Gamescom 2014 Hollowpoint Hits Hard and Heavy on PS4
The Contra of the future
2D side-scrolling shooters are a tough genre to tackle. Sure, it's simple enough for developers to make one and call it a day, but it's easy for these games to fall into the trap of being generic and unable to stand out. What does Ruffian Games have in mind to jump over that obstacle? With its work on the Xbox 360 exclusive...
Gamescom 2014 FIFA 15 Demo Kicking Off on PS4 and PS3 Soon
Load of old dribble
One of the few highlights in EA Games’ dreadfully drab Gamescom 2014 press conference today – which should illustrate just how bad the showing was – is that FIFA 15 is getting a demo on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 ahead of its release next month. Why is this news? Well, because the upcoming Madden NFL 15 is not...
Gamescom 2014 Lay Down the Law with Battlefield Hardline's First Single Player Footage
Shoot the guns
EA's conference at Gamescom today was a little dry, to the say the least. The perennially unpopular publisher closed out its show with a brand new single player trailer for Battlefield Hardline, which you can view down below. After a hairy altercation with a particularly nasty foe, our quick witted hero Nick Mendoza finds himself...

Gamescom 2014 The PS4 Has Sold a Staggering 10 Million Units Since Launch
Greatness sells
During its Gamescom conference today, Sony revealed that the PlayStation 4 has sold a flabbergasting ten million units worldwide since its launch last year. The Japanese giant also noted that 30 million pieces of software have been purchased by consumers in that time. To be honest, we've run out of ways to express how impressive...
Gamescom 2014 Blimey, Hideo Kojima is Making a New Silent Hill Game for PS4
Wait, what?
In arguably the most bizarre and brilliant headline to come out of Sony's Gamescom conference today, it has been uncovered that Hideo Kojima will be creating a new Silent Hill game for PlayStation 4. Ever the provocateur, Kojima couldn't simply announce the game during the presser, but instead had to sneakily reveal it afterwards...
Reaction PS4's Variety Shines at Gamescom 2014, but Sony's Presser Lacked a Show Stopper
On closer reflection
Sony usually marches into Gamescom unobstructed. The platform holder has been holding press conferences in Cologne for as long as we’ve been running this website, even revealing the PlayStation 3 Slim – the redesign which would eventually reverse its flagging format’s fortunes – at the event some five years ago. In that...
Gamescom 2014 PS4 Exclusive WiLD Looks Wacky, Wonderful, and, Erm, Wild
Nature calls
It was recently revealed that Rayman creator Michel Ancel had opened brand new studio Wild Sheep, and at Sony's Gamescom conference today, we were finally shown what the fledgling team has been up to. Titled WiLD, the developer's first effort is a broad and ambitious PlayStation 4 exclusive that sees you controlling everything from a...
Gamescom 2014 Housemarque Exterminates the Alien Scum with PS4 Exclusive Alienation
Nuke it from orbit
Housemarque, the talented team behind PlayStation 4 darling Resogun, officially unveiled its new title at Sony's Gamescom conference today. Dubbed Alienation, the game is a 4 player co-op top-down shooter in the same vein as the developer's previous outing
Gamescom 2014 In PS4 Exclusive DriveClub, It Pays to Drive Together
Vroom vroom
DriveClub has seen its fair share of delays over the past year, but it's very likely been worth the wait, as Evolution Studios seems more confident about its drop-dead gorgeous game than ever before. With vehicles that we swear look real and slick-looking racing mechanics, we're pretty revved up to play the game for ourselves, and Sony's...
Gamescom 2014 PS4's inFAMOUS: First Light Recharges with Battle Arenas
Curdun Cay is kinda cra'y
inFAMOUS: First Light may not be attaining quite the same publicity as Sony’s other first-party titles right now, but it sounds like a seriously meaty slice of side content. In addition to a four hour single player campaign that plots the return of street savvy conduit Fetch, it will also boast Battle Arenas with a...
Gamescom 2014 Zombie Infested Survival MMO DayZ Lumbers onto the PS4
Brainsssss
In one of the more unexpected announcements at Sony's Gamescom conference today, it was announced that popular survival MMO DayZ will be coming to the PlayStation 4. The shambling shooter sees you and your buddies dropped in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, provided with essentially no resources, and then forced to fight for survival...
Gamescom 2014 Explore the Ghostly Mysteries of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
Don't disturb the dead
The Astronauts consists of an eight-person development team that originally founded People Can Fly, creators of the immature yet crazy fun shooter Bulletstorm. You'd be inclined to believe that the former studio is moving on to something similar, but you'd be wrong. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is a vastly different project...
Gamescom 2014 Hellblade Is Ninja Theory's First AAA Indie for PS4
Adapt or die
When the trailer for Hellblade started during Sony's Gamescom 2014 press conference, it was hard to shrug the resemblance to the PlayStation 3 title Heavenly Sword. That's for good reason, too, as it's being created by Ninja Theory, the same studio behind Enslaved and DmC: Devil May
Gamescom 2014 RIME Still Looks Utterly Resplendent on PS4
New trailer is tasty
RIME raised the roof during Sony’s Gamescom press conference last year, and while it didn’t have quite the same impact on this occasion – it’s a known quantity, after all – it’s still looking ridiculously pretty on the PlayStation 4. Developed by Spanish studio Tequila Works, the release evokes memories of ICO, with...
Gamescom 2014 Nikola Tesla Supercharges PS4 Exclusive The Order: 1886
Playing with power
When it was first announced, Ready at Dawn promised that it would fuse real-world history with fiction in PlayStation 4 exclusive The Order: 1886, and it revealed part of how it intends to do that prior to Sony’s big Gamescom 2014 press conference earlier today – by implementing Nikola Tesla into the fiction. This famous...
Gamescom 2014 Grow to Hate Shadow of Mordor's Villains With the Help of its Newest Trailer
You'll pay for this
In a somewhat surprising appearance at Sony's Gamescom 2014 press conference, upcoming Tolkien tie-in Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor shed a little bit of light on its narrative and its ruthless baddies. It's another short and sweet video regarding the upcoming action title, but we reckon it does just enough to get you interested...
Gamescom 2014 A Re-Imagining of Tearaway Will Roll Out on the PS4
Unwrap even more
We think that Tearaway is without a doubt one of the best reasons to go out and swipe up a PlayStation Vita. The visuals are truly unique and gorgeous, the gameplay pushes all of the handheld's features to the max, and the whole tone of the game just has an inescapably lovely charm. Now you can experience that with a...
Gamescom 2014 Until Dawn Rises on PS4, and Its Darker Than Before
Hayden Panettiere stars in survival horror
Well, we all knew that ex-PlayStation Move exclusive Until Dawn was coming to the PlayStation 4 – but it looks like Supermassive Games has really invested that extra time into creating some impressive character models. While the title’s re-reveal trailer definitely has the same spirit as the original,...
Gamescom 2014 Bloodborne Comes Out Swinging With New PS4 Gameplay Footage
And so the nightly hunt begins
While E3 2014's cinematic trailer for From Software's next PS4 project managed to portray the atmosphere and setting for Bloodborne in all of its gothic, grotesque glory, we finally have a more in-depth look at how the game actually plays, and thankfully, it looks quite a bit better than the leak that appeared months...
Gamescom 2014 PS4 Firmware Update 2.00 Brings YouTube Support and Share Play
Pass the controller
Regardless of whether you loved or hated the content in Sony’s big Gamescom 2014 press conference tonight, there’s a sizeable chance that you probably liked the bit about PlayStation 4 firmware update v2.00. With competitor Microsoft leading the offensive in this area, the Japanese giant needed to hit back big, and it...
Bang for your buck
Outside of the alpha and beta, we haven't heard or seen much regarding Destiny's competitive multiplayer offering. Both downloadable sneak peeks only offered one game type — control — so it's about time that we got a better look at the sci-fi shooter's various modes. And this trailer
Poll What Did You Think of the Sony PlayStation Gamescom 2014 Press Conference?
Rate the PS4 and Vita's presence
Sony’s just wrapped up its Gamescom 2014 press conference. The platform holder always has an eventful showing in Cologne, and today was no different, with particularly noteworthy unveilings including WiLD and Tearaway Unfolded. But, following Microsoft’s shock Rise of the Tomb Raider
Gamescom 2014 Have Your Own Great Escape in The Escapists
You didn't see anything
You can commit plenty of crimes in games these days, but you can get away with them scot-free just by hacking a few traffic lights or getting a paint job on your car. In The Escapists, developed by Mouldy Toof Studios and published by Team 17, you find yourself locked in a high security prison, seeking a way to escape...

Reaction Why Lara Croft Will Still Raid PS4 in Rise of the Tomb Raider
Reading between the lines
Kudos to Microsoft, it actually dropped a press conference megaton. While we’d argue that Jack Tretton’s corporate beatdown at E3 2013 was a memorable media briefing moment, it wasn’t exactly a huge surprise – in fact, those are becoming rarer as the major industry players all merge into a similar entity. The fact...
Gamescom 2014 You'll Traipse Journey's Desert in 1080p on PS4
Start a new journey
Journey, arguably the greatest digital download of the PlayStation 3 era, will grace its presence on the PlayStation 4, platform holder Sony has announced. The reveal was leaked earlier in the month, but that doesn’t make it any less exciting. Unsurprisingly, the title will run in 1080p on the next-gen platform, which is sure...
Gamescom 2014 Get a Grip on The Witcher 3's Setting with This Intriguing Developer Diary
Mature fantasy
When someone mentions fantasy, many of us tend to think of elves, dwarves, orcs, and trinkets of immense power. And while there's nothing wrong with that outlook, people often forget about the darker, grittier side of the genre — settings that are soaked in blood, bathed in war, and are full of grotesque creatures pulled straight...
Gamescom 2014 Wait, Rise of the Tomb Raider Isn't Coming to PS4?
Them's the breaks
We were promised surprises at this year's Gamescom conference, but this isn't exactly what we had in mind. That's right, it seems that the absurdly titled Rise of the Tomb Raider won't be making its way to the PlayStation 4 after all. During Microsoft's media briefing today it was announced that Lara Croft's latest hellish holiday...
Gamescom 2014 Kano Looks Killer in Mortal Kombat X on PS4
All brawn, no brains
As anticipated, Ed Boon has appeared in a new Mortal Kombat X trailer to talk about British cyborg Kano – and you know that he’s serious, because he appears in black-and-white. The rough and ready kombatant was leaked last week, but this clip gives you a proper look at his older appearance and three main forms...

Former Famitsu boss teases big TGS reveal
It’s probably a bit cruel to be talking about the next major gaming convention before the current one has even got underway, but it seems like Sony may be stockpiling a seriously big announcement for the Tokyo Game Show in late September.

Blink and you'll miss it
If you didn’t tune in to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’s live competitive multiplayer reveal, then you’ll have missed out on some awkward developer smack talk.

Weirdness You Can Pop by Clementine's House in The Last of Us Remastered
Who could live in a house like this?
We all know that Easter eggs aren't just designed to make us feel sick, but also to keep us entertained all year round by popping up in video games when we least expect them. It seems that developer Naughty Dog did more than just brush up on the graphics in The Last of Us Remastered, too, as one Twitter user has...
Power changes everything
You could never describe Call of Duty: Ghosts as a bad game. It was predictable without a doubt, but it was an entertaining enough distraction for a few weeks. Of course, Activision sets its standards higher than that, and it wouldn’t be in control of the biggest first-person property on the planet if it didn’t. Call of...
Guide When Is EA's Gamescom 2014 Press Conference?
Learning the art of electronics
You could be forgiven for thinking that EA isn’t having a Gamescom 2014 press conference – after all, that E3 2014 showing wasn’t the most memorable, was it? Alas, as has become tradition for the publisher, it’s allotted itself a few hours of stage time in order to chat about a handful of its upcoming projects...

Gamescom 2014 Sony to Reveal How Horror Is Being Reinvented on PS4
Until we meet again
It seems like there’s still time prior to Sony’s Gamescom 2014 press conference for another one of those horror themed teaser trailers. This is the most revealing yet, showing a man wielding an axe in a grotty window. We still reckon that this is related to Supermassive Games’ previously announced PlayStation 3 exclusive...
Gamescom 2014 PS4 Sequel Dead Island 2 Enjoys Some Sunshine Slaughter
Hot as Hell
The original Dead Island seemed to get its head turned by that iconic debut trailer. While it was ostensibly a silly co-operative zombie slayer, said first footage gave gamers expectations that the final product could never live up to. Fortunately, the folks over at German developer Yager appear to be setting out their stall much more...

"I smell a mystery and some gunpowder"

A new dog has stepped into the yard, however, with the announcement of...
Gamescom 2014 Hustle Kings Rolls onto PS4 for Free
Impure pool
We’d love to be a fly on the wall at VooFoo Studios right now. The developer’s just released Pure Pool on the PlayStation 4, but Sony’s announced that it’s converting the outfit’s previous title Hustle Kings to the next-gen console – and it’ll be available for free. Even better, this version has been restructured around the...
Gamescom 2014 Resogun Developer Housemarque Teasing New Reveal
Out of this world
Finnish developer Housemarque has been hinting at some kind of Gamescom 2014 announcement for a while now, but it’s stepped up its efforts with this cheesy faux news broadcast.

Specifically, the original game's writer Neil Druckmann has stated that
Out This Week Surgeon Simulator PS4, Hohokum, Akiba's Trip
Busy, busy
New titles typically steer clear of E3 in fear of having the spotlight taken off them, but there’s no such luxury during Gamescom.

News UK Sales Charts: PS4 Port The Last of Us Remastered Clings to Summit
Summer star
Not even a clicker could remove The Last of Us Remastered from the UK sales charts summit this week, as Naughty Dog’s next-gen port has maintained its place at the top of the best sellers list. In truth, there was very little in the way of competition, with Watch Dogs and FIFA 14 holding the top three spots. Elsewhere,
Push Rewind Gamescom 2014 Hype, Assassin's Creed Rogue, and Crazy Lawsuits
Odds and ends
The week before a major gaming convention always feels like the calm before the storm, and the past seven days have lived up to that cliché.

Panic presentations
Every convention comes with a combination of excitement and trepidation.

News The Last Tinker: City of Colors Plots a Platforming Comeback on PS4
All things bright and beautiful
It’s true that the PlayStation 4 may not have an especially enormous software lineup right now, but it does have a varied one.

Conjuring up improv
We wouldn't blink for a second if you told us that The Witcher III: Wild Hunt is a spellbinding testament to the PlayStation 4's power. CD Projekt RED is pulling out all of the stops in crafting one of the most realised, eye-popping open world titles since The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. However, something's bound to go wrong with...
News Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed Bares All on PS4 in Europe Next Year

It's safe to say that Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed has caught our attention with its reckless stripping and bizarre plot involving sun shy vampires.

Rumour PS4 Interface Images Show Folders, Improved Trophy Notifications, and More
Sadly, they're probably fake
There’s nothing like a good ol’ fashioned leak to shake you out of a groggy Sunday morning. In truth, this looks fake, so don’t expect it to be officially unveiled at Gamescom 2014 next week – but we kind of wished that it would be. The shots show an enhanced PlayStation 4 user interface, including folders, some...

Netcode remastered
Naughty Dog may have plotted an almost flawless transition to the PlayStation 4, but it did mess up one aspect of The Last of Us in converting it to Sony’s next-gen console. Since launch, there have been many complaints regarding the title’s multiplayer matchmaking, which functions, but, well, not as well as it should. In...

Next-gen encore
We thought that PlayStation Vita music management simulation BigFest was taking an extraordinarily long time to develop – but now we know why.

Tastier than a pork bun
Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition is set to karate chop its way onto the PlayStation 4 this October with a whole raft of improvements – none of which are demonstrated in the re-release’s debut trailer. Rather than show off the new textures and effects, publisher Square Enix has instead opted for a high-octane live action...

Predictions for PlayStation's big press conference

News The Man in Charge of Mass Effect Has Boarded the Normandy SR-2
Veteran hangs up his N7 armour

News PS4 Sequel Rise of the Tomb Raider Is Taking Motion Capture to the Next Level
Drake beware
We thoroughly enjoyed Crystal Dynamics’ tense Tomb Raider reboot on both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, but in many ways it felt like an Uncharted game with a slightly smaller budget.
