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...
Live Watch the Sony PlayStation Gamescom 2014 Press Conference Right Here
Find out what's next for PS4 and Vita today

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...
Gamescom 2014 Here's Your First Look at Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare's Multiplayer
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.

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 Pre-Order Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare to Play Early on PS4, PS3
Day zero
Activision just wrapped up its Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare multiplayer reveal with a surprise announcement: the Day Zero Edition.

You’ll need to make those...
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...
Gamescom 2014 PS4's Life Is Strange Breathes New Life into the Episodic Space
"I smell a mystery and some gunpowder"
While we may be seeing a wide variety of episodic story driven titles on PlayStation at the moment – from the critically acclaimed The Walking Dead to the upcoming Tales from the Borderlands – all of them are developed by Telltale Games. 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. In the video, the Resogun maker reveals that it will be in attendance at the German show – and suggests that it will have something new to announce...
Gamescom 2014 DriveClub Special Edition Lines Up at Launch in Europe
Podium position
And we’re underway. Gamescom 2014 hasn’t technically started yet, but you didn’t think that you’d have to wait for the news to start rolling, did you? Evolution Studios has taken to the European PlayStation Blog today to announce a DriveClub special edition, which will be available at launch in the Old World from 8th October...
Talking Point What Are Your Hopes and Fears for PS4 and Vita at Gamescom 2014?
Panic presentations
Every convention comes with a combination of excitement and trepidation. Sony’s always had a decent presence at Gamescom, so we’re expecting nothing less this year – but with the event being livestreamed all around the world, there’s always the worry that it could drop a Powers-esque press conference clanger and let...
Feature 10 PS4, PS3, and Vita Reveals That We Reckon Will Happen at Gamescom 2014
Predictions for PlayStation's big press conference
Despite being the biggest gaming convention on the planet, Gamescom has always been treated as E3’s younger, less important sibling. Historically, the big announcements are reserved for Los Angeles, with the German show serving as a gaming aperitif of sorts, offering new trailers and information,...
News Something's Coming in Sony's Second Gamescom 2014 Teaser of the Day
An axe to grind
Sony’s in full on hype mode ahead of its Gamescom 2014 press conference next week – it’s just a shame that it’s releasing some pretty poor promotional trailers to lead into the event. Alright, this one isn’t anywhere near as bad as this afternoon’s hypnotherapy session, but two teasers in one day is probably a little bit...
Guide When Is Sony's Gamescom 2014 Press Conference?
Briefing you on the time of PlayStation's media briefing
Gamescom is a bit of a favourite here at Push Square Towers. The German convention may lack the exorbitant hype of E3, but it feels a little less corporate as a consequence. Part of that’s probably down to the fact that the general public is invited to attend the show, but even the press...
News Sony's Gamescom 2014 Teaser Trailers Are Getting Worse
Is this some kind of hypnotherapy?
With the games industry getting ready to descend upon Germany ahead of next week’s Gamescom 2014 convention, Sony is starting to hype up its annual media briefing. A few days ago it deployed a teaser trailer for what appeared to be Until Dawn, but now it’s gone with something a little more vanilla to count down...
News Snow Joke! Sony Seemingly Teases Until Dawn PS4 Re-Reveal for GamesCom
Arms get cold in February air
Until Dawn became the poster child for Sony’s ill-fated PlayStation Move motion controller when it was first announced, which just goes to show how long the teen horror title has spent in hiding since being unveiled. As suspected, a leaked GamesCom 2014 lineup last week confirmed the release for the PlayStation 4 –...
News Sony Has Lots of Good Stuff Planned for GamesCom Next Week
Firm really looking forward to the show
Conventions are like clickers: they sneak up on you. We’ve only just washed our hands of E3 2014 a few months back, but already GamesCom 2014 is lurking – and as usual, Sony is planning to have a pretty big presence at the show. A recent leak revealed that announcements may include
News Watch Dead Island 2 Decay at GamesCom 2014 This Month
Hell on Earth
German convention GamesCom is scarily close, which means that the Push Square office is all of a flutter right now. One thing that’s improved our mood, however, is news that Dead Island 2 is set to infect the Cologne show later this month. The sequel will be playable at the expo, which actually marks the first time that local gamers...
News Journey to Be Playable on PS4 at GamesCom 2014 Next Month
Yes, you read that right
Assuming that Sony hasn’t just let a hearty halibut leak out of its typically tight fish tank, then the company looks set to have an incredible showing at GamesCom 2014 next month. As part of a nonchalant lineup list which has appeared on its official convention landing page, the company appears to have confirmed that...

Still recovering from E3 2014 last month? You may want to take a real quick breather, as Sony’s always eventful GamesCom press conference is only 26 days, four hours, and 45 minutes away at the time of typing.
