Soapbox Why I'm Worried About Star Wars Battlefront on PS4
Star bores
There's always one, isn't there? Star Wars Battlefront is undoubtedly going to be the biggest PlayStation 4 game of the year – Sony's recently reduced bundle will see to that – but having bunkered down with several hours of the beta, I'm yet to be convinced that it's going to be any good. I already had this opinion at EGX 2015, but...

News Star Wars Battlefront's Beta Is Not 1080p on PS4
Han oh no
We're long past the point where chatting about resolution is interesting, but that's probably because practically every game on the PlayStation 4 runs at 1080p. Star Was Battlefront – or its beta, at least – is an exception, running at 900p according to a Digital Foundry analysis. This is in line with previous Battlefield releases, but...

News Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Had the Biggest Beta in PS4 History

A quick lesson in PR: if you can boast, then boast. It may not mean much that Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 has enjoyed the biggest beta in PlayStation 4 history, but Activision's told us anyway. Sure, counterpart Destiny's probably the only title that could possibly compete with it in this department, but who cares? A win is a win, after...

After absolutely hammering The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited PlayStation 4 beta virtually all weekend, we're actually a bit sad to see it go.
