News Bound Is a Bonkers Balletic Platformer for PS4 by Plastic and Sony Santa Monica
Dancing queen
The best part of being a PlayStation fan is that Sony funds some truly wacky stuff, and Bound definitely falls under that category. The game – which is being produced for the PlayStation 4 by Datura developer Plastic in collaboration with Sony Santa Monica – was teased around the web recently, and resembles a 3D platformer in which...
News Danganronpa V3 Won't Finish The Story of the First Two Games
But an anime will
In a somewhat weird turn of events, Danganronpa V3 - the next title in the series that's expected to launch in 2016 - won't continue the story of the first two games, which largely revolves around students from the prestigious Hope's Peak Academy. Instead, the overarching plot will be resolved in an anime known as Danganronpa 3:...
News Hand-Drawn PS4 RPG Fallen Legion Is an Indie Worth Keeping an Eye On
Falling for you
Evoking sweet memories of hand-drawn fantasy titles like Dragon's Crown, we certainly like the look of Fallen Legion, which has just been announced for PlayStation 4.

News Disaster Report 4 Plus Escapes a Burning Building on PS4

News Read Only Memories Is a Neo-Adventure Game for PS4, Vita
Snatcher it up
We'll be brutally honest: there are so many indie releases on the PlayStation 4 and Vita these days that we struggle to cover them all. One title that's stood out this week, though, is Read Only Memories – a modern take on the adventure game set in a cyberpunk world known as Neo-San Francisco. The title's Snatcher-esque art style...

News PS4's Push Me Pull You May Yet Repulse You
Gloriously gross multiplayer sports title

Park life
Funcom's bringing its survival horror experiment The Park to the PlayStation 4 in 2016. The psychological trip through a dilapidated funfair launched on the PC earlier in the year, but has now set its beady eyes upon Sony's new-gen system. The title promises a real rollercoaster ride in which you'll face fear and paranoia head-first. Will...
News SEGA to Deploy Two Valkyria Chronicles Titles on the PS4
But only announced for Japan at the moment
Will there ever be a better year for unexpected game announcements?

The company also announced that an all-new entry, Valkyria of the Blue Revolution,...

Play and peace
Sony hosted another press conference overnight – but this one definitely wasn't intended for the Western market.

And as is evident from the trailer embedded below, there's a lot for local...

But now it's been officially revealed, with a 3rd December release date for North America and Europe. Who

Releases in Fall 2016 for PS4
After confirming last year in an interview with Bloody Disgusting that Outlast 2 was in development, Red Barrels has released an announcement trailer that gives a release date of Fall 2016. We can't infer much from said trailer, but it does show a burning cross, which could be attributed to the original Outlast's Father...
Paris Games Week 2015 Whoa, Who Could Have Guessed Tekken 7 Would Be Announced for PS4?
Return of the King
In a move that no one could ever have seen coming, Tekken 7 has been confirmed for a PlayStation 4 release. The announcement came directly from Sony's Paris Games Week press conference, in which franchise head Katsuhiro Harada took to the stage. Sarcasm aside, we suppose that it is a pretty big announcement - it's just one that...

News Uppers Is a Kick Ass Brawler Coming to PS Vita
Uppers yours
While the PlayStation Vita may be looking bloody and bruised in North America and Europe these days, it remains a very viable format in Japan. And that's resulted in the announcement of a new game from Marvelous, which is a rad looking beat-'em-up from Senran Kagura producer Keinchiro Takaki named Uppers. In dreary anime fashion, the...

Styx it to the man
Styx: Master of Shadows, the surprisingly well-received stealth-'em-up from Cyanide Studios, will get a sequel in 2016.

News Press X to Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th on PS4
Unhappy campers
Pull down your hockey mask and grab the nearest cleaver: Friday the 13th is coming to the PlayStation 4 in Fall 2016. But there's a catch: you'll need to help fund it on Kickstarter. In what is becoming a frightening precedent, Gun Media, IllFonic, and Crystal Lake Entertainment have all teamed up to help create an asymmetrical...
News Far Cry Primal Takes You to the Stone Age in February 2016
Mammoth news
We didn't expect this: Far Cry Primal, the next entry in Ubisoft's open world property, will release worldwide on 23rd February for the PlayStation 4.

News Strike! The PS4 Gets Its Bowling Game At Last
Don't be a turkey
The software variety on the PlayStation 4 is frankly outrageous, but we've been waiting patiently for a new High Velocity Bowling or something similar.

It sounds like an apocalyptic-esque survival adventure,...
TGS 2015 Game Boy's Final Fantasy Adventure Gets a PS Vita Remake
Oh Mana
Final Fantasy Adventure, a Game Boy title that originally released all the way back in 1991, has a curious history – namely because it's not technically a Final Fantasy game at all and is actually the predecessor to Super Nintendo classic, Secret of Mana. Either way, a remake is in development for the PlayStation Vita and smartphones,...
News Free-to-Play Fave World of Tanks Targets PS4
Tank you very much
As rumoured earlier in the week, free-to-play competitive multiplayer title World of Tanks will be rolling on to the PlayStation 4 in the near future.

Coming to PS4 and Vita
A blink-and-you'll-miss-it reveal during Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference today, the elaborately named 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is a PlayStation 4 and Vita sci-fi title from Vanillaware – the developer perhaps best known for Dragon's Crown.

TGS 2015 Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme VS Force Stomps to PS Vita
Gun-damn, this looks good
There was more PlayStation Vita during Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference today than every E3 media briefing ever combined, and Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme VS Force was just one of the titles on display. Series enthusiast Robert Ramsey has bogged off to get some lunch, so it's down to this clueless author to try...
TGS 2015 Resident Evil Umbrella Corps Gets Competitive on PS4
Dead to rights
Between all of the Resident Evil remasters and the surprisingly strong Resident Evil Revelations 2, you may be forgiven for thinking that Capcom's flagship horror franchise is returning to its roots.

Today at Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference, Square Enix announced that Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue will be coming to PlayStation 4, with an official trailer releasing on 17th September. Yes, that's really what it's called. No, we are...
TGS 2015 Project Morpheus Officially Renamed PlayStation VR
To the point
Project Morpheus is set to release in 2016, so it probably deserves a proper name. Fortunately, platform holder Sony announced during its pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference earlier today that the upcoming peripheral will be known as PlayStation VR when it hits store shelves. It's an obvious name, but we reckon that it gets the job...

TGS 2015 The Old Hunters Is Bloodborne's New Gruesome and Gorgeous DLC
The chaos continues
One of the more predictable announcements at Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show conference today was of brand new feature length downloadable content for Bloodborne. The expansion - which is ominously titled The Old Hunters - will be let out into the wild on 24th November. If that wasn't enough From Software goodness for you, though, it...
TGS 2015 Toukiden 2 Goes Open World on PS4 and Vita in 2016
A slayer's duty never ends
We probably should have seen this one coming. Given the success of Koei Tecmo's Toukiden: The Age of Demons and sort-of-sequel Toukiden Kiwami, it's no surprise that the franchise is moving onto its second iteration with the aptly named Toukiden 2. All that we have to go on right now is a brief teaser trailer, but the...
News Hardware Rivals Brings a Hell of a Lot of Firepower Exclusively to PS4
Sounds like a blast

A newly formed internal development team over at Sony is working on the new project, entitled Hardware: Rivals, and it...
News Activision Demands Your Milk Money with Deadpool PS4 Port
Dead cool?
Deadpool was never a particularly good game to begin with, but with a new movie on the horizon, Activision clearly sees value in re-releasing the ageing PlayStation 3 title on the PlayStation 4 – and its $49.99 asking price is the punch line.

News Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires Will Conquer Vita Along with All of Its DLC
At least in Japan
Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires launched earlier this year in the West on PlayStation 4. The hack and slasher adds a hint of strategy and plenty of role-playing to Omega Force's typical formula, but it was perhaps a surprise that the release never made it to Vita - particularly in Japan, and especially since Koei Tecmo seems to hold no...

News Stories: The Hidden Path Is a PS4 Action RPG All About Player Choice
Sounds foxy
Nicely designed anthropomorphic characters, airships, role-playing game elements, and player choice combine to make Stories: The Hidden Path seem like a pretty intriguing PlayStation 4 title.
