Feature Push Square's PGW 2015 Game of the Show - Detroit: Become Human
Quantic dreaming
David Cage divides opinion like no other developer. When the French auteur took to Sony's slick Paris Games Week 2015 stage earlier this week, the Push Square press conference live chat was awash with cheers and jeers. Some feel that the French director – who's helmed titles like Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls – is...
Poll What Was Your Fave PS4 Game of Paris Games Week 2015?
Make up your mind time
Paris Games Week 2015 has been a bit of a weird one, hasn't it? Don't get us wrong, the press conference was rock solid in terms of content, but we're used to the likes of E3 and Gamescom bringing additional news throughout the course of the week. This time out, though, the media briefing was the highlight, with only NieR Aut
News PS4 Exclusive NieR Automata Looks Freakin' Rad
Automata high
Platinum Games know how to put together a flashy trailer, and while this video captured by DualShockers direct from the Paris Games Week 2015 show floor takes a while to get going – well, stick around until the 3:20 mark and you will be rewarded. We get a decent look at PlayStation 4 exclusive NieR Automata in action – and while...
Paris Games Week 2015 Shadow of the Beast's New Trailer Rips PS4 a New One
Feeling a little spiky
Sony's upcoming Shadow of the Beast reboot may have been in development for approximately 8,000 years, but it's really shaping up.

Feature Our Paris Games Week 2015 Predictions Were on the Money
Gloat away
Warning: intolerable back slapping incoming. We don't normally look back on our press conference predictions in too much detail – usually because we're wrong – but we called Paris Games Week 2015 pretty darn impressively. Don't believe us? Go back and re-read our original article – and no, we haven't edited it after the fact...
Paris Games Week 2015 Wake Us Up When Avicii's Vector Launches on PS4
Waiting for love
One thing that often gets forgotten when talking about the PSone is the impact that it had on fledgling music producers. The console was rife with rudimentary Digital Audio Workstations, and many of today's top audio engineers got their first taste of the profession on Sony's system. It sounds like Swedish house superstar Avicii may...
Paris Games Week 2015 Ratchet & Clank Proves the Power of PS4
Up your arsenal
There were a few people in our press conference live chat pondering whether Ratchet & Clank's visuals were real during its Paris Games Week 2015 trailer, but we've played it and can confirm that it really does look like this. For a game that's getting a budget release, it's quite extraordinary how much juice Insomniac Games has...
Paris Games Week 2015 You Can Rewatch Sony's Whole 2 Hour Press Conference Right Here
Here's one we made earlier
For us Europeans, Sony's latest press conference actually started at a reasonable time for once. We're used to waiting up until the early hours of the morning for events like E3, but the firm's Paris Games Week presser started around the same time that we're usually leaving the Push Square office for the day. Sure, this...
Round Up What Did Sony Show at Paris Games Week 2015?
Jeux videos
It's time to wrap a big fat bow around our Paris Games Week 2015 coverage – well, until we've got some kip anyway. How's that for some English slang, American readers? We digress. The point is that it's time to wrap up all of the major announcements from Sony's press conference earlier today – just in case you lot missed them. We...
Paris Games Week 2015 Horizon: Zero Dawn Details Its RPG Elements
Aloy, Aloy
It was our Game of the Show at E3 2015 – and Horizon: Zero Dawn is still looking great. While developer Guerrilla Games didn't have a new demo for Sony's big Paris Games Week press conference, it did show an alternate play through of the one first shown in Los Angeles, while also emph
Paris Games Week 2015 MatterFall's the Next PS4 Exclusive from Housemarque
Vanquish with voxels
When it comes to arcade shooters, there are very few studios that come close to Finnish outfit Housemarque. It's great to see the Resogun developer remain in Sony's stable, then, with its next game MatterFall announced during the platform holder's Paris Games Week press conference. It looks a little bit like Vanquish with...
Reaction Poorly Paced Paris Presser Paves Way for PS4's Impressive 2016
Sony's show stumbles, but the future's bright
Paris Games Week 2015 brought the goods earlier today – but could it measure up to Sony's extraordinary E3 2015 press conference? The answer, unsurprisingly, is no – but the Japanese giant still delivered some big announcements and ably illustrated just how much variety there is on the PlayStation 4...
Paris Games Week 2015 Gravity Rush 2's New PS4 Trailer Will Turn Your World Upside Down
Topsy turvy
How could we possibly forget Gravity Rush 2?

In addition to big boss battles and a new sidekick mechanic, we also got...
Paris Games Week 2015 Uncharted 4 Multiplayer Resolution Takes a Hit to Reach 60 FPS
Drake's sacrifice
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's multiplayer looks familiar but fun if its reveal trailer is anything to go by. Sporting plenty of jumping and climbing alongside some explosive gameplay, it's perhaps exactly what we expected - but there's no doubt that some potential plunderers will be disappointed by the fact that the game's...
Paris Games Week 2015 Until Dawn: Rush of Blood Takes You on a Virtual Reality Roller Coaster
A bit like the B*Witched song
You'll rarely find this editor getting angry over game announcements, but Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is one rumour that your humble host was hoping wouldn't come true. The forthcoming PlayStation VR exclusive is a rails shooter in the most literal sense, taking you on a warped roller coaster inside the mind of one Until...
Paris Games Week 2015 PS4's Dreams Looks More Like a Nightmare
And we still don't know what it is
What is Dreams? In truth, even after a meaty Paris Games Week 2015 demo, we can't tell you. Media Molecule's forthcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive is so out-there that the developer doesn't appear to know how to show it. The things we do know: you control a customisable imp which can possess sculptures created by...
Paris Games Week 2015 Robinson: The Journey Is a VR Experience About Avoiding Dinosaurs
Tread lightly
PlayStation VR got some significant attention today at Sony's conference in Paris, and one of its upcoming projects came in the form of Robinson: The Journey. The trailer has a character seemingly dressed in an astronaut's outfit being guided by what must be a distant cousin of Destiny's Ghost through a herd of brachiosauruses. After...

A thief's work never ends
Ah, yes – Uncharted 4: A Thief's End has a multiplayer mode, and it's looking pretty great judging by this Paris Games Week trailer. In it, we see familiar favourites from the franchise dashing around gorgeous battlefields, teaming up with AI-controlled sidekicks, and unleashing all sorts of power-ups. It looks very...
Paris Games Week 2015 Boundless Takes Inspiration from Minecraft and Goes Even Further
It's your world
Indie developer Wonderstruck has revealed a open world, sandbox title called Boundless, but don't be fooled by immediately connecting it to Minecraft. There's more to it than its vague trailer showcases, as creative director James Austin has made clear over on the PlayStation Blog. The worlds are procedurally generated, but unlike...

Beta tests to begin in the spring

Paris Games Week 2015 You've Still Got to Wait Quite a While for No Man's Sky on PS4
Ambitious sci-fi title finally gets a release window
We really hope that you didn't put too much stock into the rumour that No Man's Sky was releasing this week, because the title's new trailer says otherwise. After what seems like an eternity, the ambitious indie project finally has some sort of release window - and we're sad to say that it's not...
Paris Games Week 2015 Detroit Continues Kara's Plight Exclusively on PS4
Become human
As expected, Quantic Dream took to Sony's Paris Games Week stage earlier today to announce Detroit – a Cloud Atlas-inspired story about sentient robots in a changing, futuristic world. The game will star Kara from the classic PlayStation 3 tech demo, and will deal with the cyborg's life once she's left the factory in which she was...
Paris Games Week 2015 PS4's WiLD Has Changed, But Still Shows Huge Promise
It's only natural
Remember WiLD? You lot voted it your Game of the Show way back in 2014 following Sony's Gamescom press conference, but it's been missing in action ever since. Thankfully, the interesting looking title made a return during Sony's Paris Games Week presser with a full gameplay demo - and it still shows some real promise. That said,...
Paris Games Week 2015 Star Wars Battlefront Trailer Gives Us a Look at Heroes and Villains in Action
Don't get cocky
Although we've gotten a beta and a couple of trailers, DICE has nevertheless been surprisingly low-key about showing gameplay of Star Wars Battlefront. Now that we're less than a month from the anticipated title's release date, it's nice to get a great glimpse at more of the characters we'll be able to play as in a new gameplay...
Talking Point Did Sony's Big Paris Games Week Presser Impress You?
From France with love
The curtain has just closed on Sony's hotly anticipated Paris Games Week press conference, where we got a glimpse at Housemarque's next project, Horizon: Zero Dawn and Uncharted 4's multiplayer.

Wheel-y?
Sony will strut out onto the stage at Paris Games Week later today, presumably to announce a few games, talk PlayStation VR, PlayStation 4, and maybe even a bit of Vita. Erm, actually, scratch the last bit. There have been a fair few rumours surrounding Sony's conference, but even we didn't see this one coming: DriveClub Bikes. The PEGI...
Guide What Time Is Sony's Paris Games Week Press Conference?
When to tune in for all the PS4 reveals
Yay, it's PlayStation press conference time. It may sound sad, but we were really put out by Sony's limited presence at Gamescom earlier in the year. Not only was the platform holder's decision to not hold a media briefing in Cologne bad for our traffic ticker, but it also felt like the whole event had a...
