Review Valiant Hearts: The Great War (PlayStation 4)
Dog day afternoon
There are hundreds upon hundreds of games about war. Yet despite the subject matter’s ubiquity, there is a distinct lack of variety in the way it’s handled: you shoot people, you sneak behind people so you can stab them in the back, or you slaughter countless people with the press of a single button. These gleeful and...
Events Battlefield Hardline And Alien: Isolation Confirmed For EGX London 2014

News Does This New Project Morpheus Trailer Sell You On Sony's Virtual Reality Headset?
It's incredible, apparently
Sony's virtual reality headset Project Morpheus may be a nifty piece of tech, but its value is incredibly hard to demonstrate. After all, there's nothing particularly exciting about watching someone with a clunky set of goggles strapped to their face wildly waving their arms about. It's the sort of thing that

News The PS4 Dev Team Were 'Dancing in The Aisles' After The Xbox One's Price Reveal
So were we
A lot has been said about the performance of the two major players at last year's E3. Regardless of your view, it's no secret that Sony's super system has been going gangbusters when it comes to numbers. And while it certainly wasn't the most crucial element, the PlayStation 4's significantly cheaper price tag can certainly take a lot of...

Easier said than done
After taking part in Destiny's recent Alpha, we were happy to report that we found the experience completely hassle free. We spent over 25 hours in Bungie's newly created world, and we didn't come across a single connection problem, big or small.

Rumour Batman: Arkham Knight Is Stepping Out Of The Shadows In February 2015
According to Microsoft, anyway
The delay of Batman: Arkham Knight was a real disappointment — we hoped to be busting criminals as titular Dark Knight in 2014, rather than 2015. Publisher Warner Bros. has so far been reluctant to give us a solid release date for the title, but it would appear that Microsoft has gone ahead and done it anyway. On...

It seems that we can't go more than a few days without another major release having its most intimate secrets leaked to the public. The most recent example of this trend is this gargantuan spill of essentially every detail you could ever want to know about The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Thankfully, this world-weary reporter hasn't...
Company doesn't want to take the Call of Duty route
When Battlefield 4 went toe-to-toe with Call of Duty: Ghosts late last year, EA's offering was found somewhat wanting. While the game's multiplayer mode was a revelation — with "emergent" gameplay and rapidly changing arenas — the title was blighted by issues which prevented players from...

Boom, there it is
Despite the fact that Sony put a lot of stock into the PlayStation 4's retail launch line-up which included the likes of Knack and Killzone: Shadow Fall, many of us were too busy being mesmerised by Resogun to take notice.

They never learn
We certainly had a lot of fun with Destiny's PlayStation 4 Alpha, but there's no getting around the fact that we, as Guardians, have contributed heavily to the extinction of creepy aliens. If they weren't trying to blow our heads off, we would be a little more sympathetic, but as it stands, the total death tally of just under 197...

Transistor meets The Last of Us
If you're looking for some perplexing puzzles to dig into in the coming months, allow us to direct your attention towards PlayStation 4 and Vita exclusive Pavilion.

Festive miracle

Even with the news that the port has been in the works for some time, staff and readers alike were still taking bets on what year, let...
Talking Point Should Sony Ditch E3 Stage Shows Like Nintendo?
A different direction
Very few people earnestly enjoy change. This author gets the jitters if Chart-Track’s weekly UK sales data isn’t ready to write about first thing on a Monday morning, and don’t even mention routine rupturing Bank Holidays. It was little wonder, then, that the web was awash with cynicism last year when Nintendo opted to...
News Racing Sim MotoGP 14 Starts Its Engine on PS4 in Europe
Vroom
For a system that’s selling extraordinarily well, the PlayStation 4 is seriously short on racing games. Sure, the ambitious Need for Speed: Rivals serves up a great time, but once you’ve drinked in all of Redview County’s fictional views, there’s not a lot left to do. DriveClub and The Crew are right around the corner, of course, but...

Rumour Destiny's Extra PS4 and PS3 Content Will Only Be Exclusive Till Next Year
Jumping jive
Timed exclusive content is a lot like the lottery: it's a constant source of bitterness, until you're on the receiving end. So, it's with great care that we report on recent rumours that the promised extra features on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 for hotly anticipated shooter Destiny will only be exclusive until next year. According...

News PS4 Stock Situation Has Prompted Lost Sales, Sony Laments
Console's still selling very well, though
No one could accuse the PlayStation 4 of getting off to a slow start.

However, while the company is incredibly satisfied with the...
News Will Mirror's Edge 2 Make You Puke with PS4 Peripheral Project Morpheus?
Don't look down
The original Mirror’s Edge worked incredibly hard to put you in free-runner Faith’s shoes, employing numerous animations to make you feel like you were sprinting across rooftops and balancing on narrow beams. This level of first-person immersion seems like a perfect fit for virtual reality, with Project Morpheus presumably set to...

Like flocks of flamingos
DriveClub may not be commanding quite as much attention as you’d expect from a big PlayStation 4 exclusive right now, but we have a strong suspicion that that’s going to change when people get their hands on it.

Review Murdered: Soul Suspect (PlayStation 4)
Dead to rights
Not many games actively attempt to avoid putting you in danger, but Murdered: Soul Suspect on the PlayStation 4 attempts to walk this less travelled road by having very little combat and putting you in the shoes of a ghost. This unique perspective means that you have limited influence on the physical world around you, making you feel...

Batman: Arkham Knight’s recent delay proved more heartbreaking than Mr. Freeze’s backstory, but the Dark Knight’s voice actor Kevin Conroy has hinted that you may not be waiting too long for the PlayStation 4 game.

It’s taken what feels like an absolute eternity, but Destiny finally has the hype that it needs to make back that $500 million Activision production and marketing budget.

Another spike bites the dust
1001 Spikes is a retro-inspired platformer from Nicalis, the firm of Cave Story fame.

Rumour Is Titanfall 2 Stomping onto PS4 in the Near Future?
It's a secret
Pseudo Xbox One exclusive Titanfall is a strange game.
