Reaction Did Xbox Make Its Gamescom 2015 Presser Pay?
Was the Redmond firm able to capitalise on Sony's no-show?
Sony's got the biggest presence on the Gamescom 2015 showfloor, but unlike in previous years it's not holding a press conference. We already knew this, of course, as the company announced that it would be skipping the show all the way back in May. This is because, according to the...
Gamescom 2015 Cities: Skylines Constructing a Path to Consoles
Sim city
This one stings: critically acclaimed city building simulation Cities: Skylines will make its console debut on the Xbox One. Microsoft gleefully made the announcement during its Gamescom 2015 press conference earlier today. Of course, every man made cloud has a silver lining, and the wording of the reveal leads us to believe that a...
Gamescom 2015 Homefront: The Revolution Raises Its Weapon to 2016
Gun to know
"They should really make a new Homefront game," said absolutely no one ever – but it's bloody happening anyway. After a bit of a corporate cock-up involving THQ having no money and latterly Crytek having no money, Far Cry: Brown & Grey Edition is finally due out next year under the name Homefront: The Revolution. Deep Silver, who...
Gamescom 2015 Rise of the Tomb Raider Goes Gung-Ho in Gameplay Trailer
Killer Croft
Crystal Dynamics looked to Uncharted for inspiration for its Tomb Raider reboot, and it looks like the developer's used Naughty Dog as a guide again. This time the studio's latest takes more than a few cues from The Last of Us, as we see protagonist Lara Croft sneaking through an enemy base Rambo-style, slitting lots of throats. The...
Guide What Time Are the EA, Final Fantasy XV, and Call of Duty Gamescom 2015 Streams?
Live and kicking
Over the years, we've gotten used to Gamescom being one of the biggest weeks in the gaming calendar for PlayStation. That's not entirely true in 2015, though, as Sony has opted to forgo its annual press conference at the German show in favour of Paris Games Week a little later in the year. The decision seemed sound at the time, with
Gamescom 2015 Mad Max Gets Philosophical in Fresh PS4 Trailer
Wasteland wanderer
Mad Max is about more than flying fists and exploding vehicles – who knew? To be fair, while this trailer does attempt to add a bit of fictional interest to proceedings, it's the punch-ups and colliding cars that will keep you watching. The clip's supposed to offer a brief glimpse at the various outposts that the protagonist...
Gamescom 2015 A New Dawn Beckons in Final Fantasy XV
Noctis again
Stealing a page from EA's playbook, Square Enix has released a teaser for Final Fantasy XV's forthcoming Gamescom 2015 trailer. The clip – which promises that a new dawn is about to break – shows dogs, cars, and clouds. To be honest, we're disappointed by the lack of crystals, but the full video will probably right that wrong...
Gamescom 2015 Have a Little Faith in This Mirror's Edge Catalyst Clip
Running rings
As you may already have noticed, EA Games has started its social media blitz ahead of Gamescom 2015. It's already deemed us worthy of the briefest of Star Wars: Battlefront teases, and now it's followed up with a quick look at Mirror's Edge Catalyst, too. In the clip, we see protagonist Faith being chased, as she scouts out a...
Gamescom 2015 Star Wars: Battlefront Fighter Squadron Footage Flies In
TIE die
How can you tell that there's a major video games convention right around the corner? Because publishers are putting out agonisingly short teaser trailers for all of their upcoming wares, of course. We already knew that a new mode would be revealed for Star Wars: Battlefront this week, but now we have a name: Fighter Squadron. As expected,...
Gamescom 2015 Vamos! Vega Flamenco Dances to Street Fighter V
Viva las Vega
Spanish ninja Vega will be joining the roster of PlayStation 4 console exclusive Street Fighter V at launch, Capcom has announced. The masked matador – who's been a series mainstay since his debut in Street Fighter II – will come with his illustrious locks and distinctive claws, though he'll also be packing plenty of new tricks up...
News Sony's Got Some Good Stuff Lined Up for Gamescom 2015
Third-party partners picking up the slack
It's a bit of a weird week here at Push Square Towers to be honest. We're on red alert ahead of Gamescom 2015, but with the curtain literally just closing on E3 2015, we're not quite sure how busy we're going to be. Furthering our uncertainty is the fact that Sony's delayed its annual European press...
Feature 10 PS4 Games We Want to Learn More About at Gamescom 2015
Cologne's calling
Sony's not going to Gamescom 2015 next week – at least, that's what the drama queens would have you believe. The reality is that while the platform holder's postponed its annual press conference until Paris Games Week in October, the PlayStation 4 will still be stomping the cobbles of Cologne, with many a major title on display...
News Square Enix Plans on Showing Old Final Fantasy XV Episode Duscae 2.0 Gameplay at Gamescom 2015
Oh dear
We hope that you didn't expect to see a lot of new Final Fantasy XV footage at Gamescom 2015 next month, because according to Square Enix's schedule, the publisher's planning on showing the game's same old Episode Duscae demo over 17 times at the German expo. Each live demonstration will be around two hours long, and on each day of the...
News It Looks Like EA's Got a Press Conference at Gamescom 2015
Hmmmm
Well, we suppose that this is a bit of a strange one. It looks like mega publisher EA is going to be hosting a press conference at Gamescom 2015 on the 5th August. The show will last an hour, starting at 10:00AM CET. It's unknown what the company will actually be bringing on stage, but seeing as Sony - a usual heavy hitter of the German expo...
News Dark Souls III Will Praise the Sun at Gamescom 2015
Prepare to die
Dark Souls III is perhaps launching a little too soon after the excellent Bloodborne. While we're certainly looking forward to the sequel, we can't help but feel that From Software's teetering dangerously close to franchise fatigue at this point – there have been a lot of these types of titles in a pretty short span of time...
News Square Enix Is Bringing The Big Guns to Gamescom 2015, Including Final Fantasy XV
New info and announcements incoming
Gamescom 2015 is looking to be a big event for Square Enix. The Japanese publisher is bringing all of its heavy hitting, upcoming releases to the German expo, including the still elusive Final Fantasy XV. Noctis and the gang will apparently be on show during several 'exciting stage presentations', and there'll...
Reaction Sony's Decision to Skip Its Annual Gamescom Stage Show Is Sound
Focus on Paris Games Week makes sense
Seal the bunker: Sony's skipping Gamescom 2015. Well, not really – the organisation will still almost certainly occupy a spot on the Cologne show floor, but it'll be holding its annual European media briefing on 27th October at Paris Games Week instead. The misconception here – from what we've read around...
News Sony's Not Holding a Press Conference at Gamescom This Year
Will share exciting announcements in Paris this October
There's no doubt that E3 gets the most hype when it comes to gaming conventions, but we've always preferred the slightly more subtle approach at Gamescom. Over the years, Sony's used the German convention as a base for some of its more out-there announcements; the likes of WiLD, Until Dawn, and
