    We have answers, but they're complicated

    With the launch of the PlayStation 4 next month, there’s a good chance that you’ll have three unique systems each connecting to a single PSN account.

  • News Maybe That DriveClub Delay Won't Be So Bad After All

    Evolution Studios shares sensational clip

    It may have been pushed out of the launch window and into the New Year, but Evolution Studios’ upcoming PlayStation 4 racer DriveClub is still worth getting excited about.

But the functionality is capable of...

  • Rumour Call of Duty: Ghosts Will Command 49GB of Your PS4's Hard Drive

    Oh my Dog

    We all know that the Call of Duty franchise likes to break all sorts of mindboggling first day sales records, but this time around it seems to have its sights set on something a little bit different: it's gunning for the 'Largest Hard Drive Install for a PlayStation 4 Launch Title' gong. Yesterday, we brought you the news that Guerrilla...

  • News Battlefield 4's Story Trailer Punches a Dog in the Chops

    Is that even allowed?

    Featuring some stunning visuals, plenty of shouting, loads of explosions, and a large man punching a dog in the face, it's probably safe to say that Battlefield 4's newest trailer is going to be remembered for one thing. But let's not let that single talking point get in the way of an otherwise enjoyable video. While it's...

    Chirp if you're excited

    We’ve already posted about eight Killzone: Shadow Fall articles this week, so one more is not going to hurt, right?

Our friends over at Eurogamer.net have managed to shoot a short multiplayer interview...

  • News Killzone: Shadow Fall Will Fill 40GB of Your PS4's Hard Drive

    You'll be able to play after downloading just 7.5GB, though

    The vaunted digital future is going to result in some big bandwidth bills for its supporters. Speculation pegged Killzone: Shadow Fall’s digital footprint at a whopping 50GB earlier in the year, but Guerrilla Games has clarified that the final sum is a no-less terrifying 39.7GB. The good...

    Tactical programmes in the works

    Despite being one of the biggest multiplatform publishers on the planet, EA has aligned almost its entire next generation lineup with Microsoft.

    Serene scenery

    Of all the titles set to launch alongside the PlayStation 4 next month, Killzone: Shadow Fall is probably the one that you’re going to want to show to friends. The likes of Knack and even Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag have pretty graphics on the impending next generation machine, but there’s a definite ‘wow’ factor to...

  • News Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag's PS4 Exclusive DLC Will Sail to Other Shores

    You'll need to wait six months for it to arrive, though

    Timed exclusive DLC has always struck us as strange. We understand that it distinguishes a particular version of a multiformat game, but it just seems like such a waste of money on the platform holder’s part. Essentially, cash is being exchanged in order to prevent owners of another system...

  • News Injustice: Gods Among Us Punches Sony's PS3 to PS4 Upgrade Programme

    Fight for freedom

    Power in groups

    While the PlayStation 4 has enjoyed a pretty flawless build up to launch so far, one criticism has been pointed at the number of high profile exclusive games in the system’s catalogue. Granted, the platform holder has secured an enormous number of indie titles that will make their console debut on the next generation machine, but...

    That's a DualShock

    There may still be a few weeks left until the PlayStation 4 officially hits store shelves, but that’s not stopping some shops from selling the controllers early.

    The art of war

    Sony accelerated the build up to the PlayStation 4’s launch by firing a stunning Killzone: Shadow Fall story trailer online this week.

  • Store Update 22nd October 2013 (North America)

    Tripping over content

    Where to even start? This week’s North American PlayStation Store update is so outrageously enormous that we doubt that we’ll be able to do it justice in under 75 words. Highlights include a bunch of PS4 pre-orders, the re-release of Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (seriously, you should play it), and a little game called,...

  • News Wii Who? The PS4 Controller Almost Featured a Touchscreen

    Developers didn't like it

    There’s a touchpad included as part of the DualShock 4 – but there was very nearly so much more. In a report published earlier in the week, the platform holder confirmed that it had toyed with an asymmetrical analogue stick setup, and now it has revealed that it experimented with a full Wii U-esque touchscreen, before...

    Materialistic world

    Despite being announced several months ago, we still haven’t really seen much of upcoming PlayStation 4 gloom-‘em-up The Order: 1886. Revealed way back at E3 in June, the release has been subject to platform holder Sony’s newly discovered caginess, which has resulted in virtually the entirety of its next generation...

Almost instantly, the tone that the video sets is different to what we've seen from the franchise before. When former lead characters...

  • News Sony Saw Sense and Ditched Asymmetrical Sticks for PS4

    Did try it, though

    Some strange gamers have taken a shine to the Xbox 360’s asymmetrical analogue stick layout – and that prompted engineers at Sony to reconsider the shape of its famous DualShock device. The discussion goes that the left analogue stick is often the primary input in the majority of modern games, so should take centre stage ahead...

    Well, sort of

    We’ve already established in previous posts that the PlayStation 4’s controller is a massive improvement over its predecessor.

As such, you may wish...

  • News Could Titanfall Still Pick a Fight with the PlayStation 4?

    Microsoft seems hazy on the subject

    Despite also deploying on the PC and Xbox 360, Respawn Entertainment’s upcoming first-person shooter Titanfall is very much being billed as the Xbox One’s big 2014 release. The title has garnered a laundry list of awards since its official unveiling at E3 earlier in the year, and given the developer’s...

    Quiet as you like

    There's nothing worse than a noisy console when you're trying to absorb yourself in a movie or a game.

Fortunately, initial tests are looking positive for Sony's next generation super machine...

  • Rumour Is Sony Trying to Lure Wii U Buyers Towards PS4 and Vita?

    Sneaky shenanigans

    Nintendo’s latest system is built around its tablet-esque controller. The chunky GamePad peripheral that comes with every Wii U facilitates unique experiences out of the box, and it’s something that Sony’s hoping to nullify courtesy of the interactivity between the PlayStation 4 and Vita. Much like its competitor’s...

  • News Killzone: Shadow Fall's Texture Quality Has Quadrupled Since February

    PS4 has enabled developer to be more creative

    It’s been a while since we got a proper look at Killzone: Shadow Fall. The futuristic first-person shooter is undoubtedly the top-tier title in the PlayStation 4’s launch lineup, but outside of February’s big next generation coming out party, we haven’t actually seen much of the release...

    Sammy Barker reckons that you're overlooking the most exciting games

    I tend to hate change. I’m the kind of curmudgeonly so-and-so that gets bent out of shape when the local supermarket stops stocking a certain type of biscuit and coerces me into buying something other than chocolate chip digestives and own brand custard creams. It’s not that I...

    Lifestyles of the rich and the famous

    As announced earlier in the week, Sony’s started setting up PlayStation 4 demo pods in retailers around North America.

  • News Lanning: PS4 Has the Smartest Development Environment Ever

    Time to triangle

    Sony’s preached about the ease of development on its next generation console ever since its announcement earlier in the year, but a spate of delays this week have prompted some sceptics to question whether it’s merely been exaggerating in order to improve the public perception of the PlayStation 4. However, Oddworld Inhabitants...

  • News You Should Probably Expect to Die a Lot in Knack on PS4

    Game over

    One thing that we’ve noticed when playing Knack in the past is that the game’s hard. We don’t just mean tricky, but full-on rage-inducing, stamp on the DualShock 4 difficult. That’s because, despite its cuddly appearance, the title is designed to take you back to the days of PSone favourites such as Crash Bandicoot and

    Studio sticks a shiv in speculation

    Naughty Dog has tossed a brick at rumours suggesting that it’s planning a PlayStation 4 version of The Last of Us.

  • News Did You Know Knack Can Also Absorb Metal?

    Man of steel

    Knack may not be the most tantalising launch title ever crafted, but it’s got some pretty neat ideas. Arguably its greatest hook is the way in which the eponymous hero can absorb and discard different materials in order to grow and shrink to various sizes. We’ve already seen a couple of these elements in action, including fire and...

  • Talking Point How Have This Week's Delays Affected Your Anticipation for PS4?

    Hype killer

    It’s ironic that the week that Sony opted to launch its Perfect Day commercial, the PlayStation 4 has suffered its most Imperfect Week since its announcement.

    Ouch, that's got to hurt

    It's going to cost gamers in Brazil an arm and a leg to purchase the PlayStation 4 when it launches in the region. Well, not literally an arm and a leg, but the system will cost a whopping 3,999 Brazilian reais, which approximately converts to a staggering $1,850 / €1,368 / £1,150.
