News Could Entwined and Kill Strain Be Sony's Next Big PS4 Titles?
Platform holder trademarks unannounced games
While this editor’s sleepy head is trying not to think about the doom that this year’s E3 will set upon his body clock in just over seven weeks, it’s around this time of the year when we start to hear rumours about what’s to come during the big show. And speculation suggests that Sony may be on...
News Are the Sony Vegas Pro People Collaborating on PS4 Firmware Update 1.70?
Cutting cool clips
The share button is undoubtedly one of the PlayStation 4’s most important features.

Rumour Sony Stupidly Sets PSN Maintenance for Easter Monday
Bunny boiler

There’s nothing especially abnormal about that – aside from the fact...
Rumour PS4 Firmware Update 1.70 Right Around the Corner
Plenty of next-gen news incoming
Recent complaints on public forums and social networks confirm that gamers don’t really know what they want. Sony was lambasted throughout the entire PlayStation 3 generation for releasing too many firmware updates, and so it’s clearly made a conscious effort to release fewer big patches as opposed to lots of...
News The Possibility of a PS4 Version of Below Just Increased Again
Underneath it all
Microsoft is no longer publishing CapyGames’ intriguing roguelike Below, increasing the chances of a PlayStation 4 port in the future.

Rumour DriveClub May Be Parking on the PlayStation 4 on 12th June
Right in the middle of E3
Sony's handling of the seemingly never-ending delays to PlayStation 4 exclusive DriveClub has been the very definition of radio silence.

News Assassin's Creed: Unity Is the One PS4 Title That Can't Stay Undercover
Loose lips sink ships
For a stealth game, Assassin’s Creed: Unity is pretty lousy at keeping itself concealed. Ubisoft’s upcoming next-gen exclusive romp through the French revolution first leaked on NeoGAF, after a user supposedly shared a plane trip with an employee who revealed some details about the game. Kotaku then got its hands on some...
Rumour The Post-Apocalyptic Metro Series May Be Taking a Train to PS4

News Yes, The Last of Us Is Set to Stumble onto PS4 This Year
So says PlayStation executive, anyway
Stock up on Kleenex tissues, as The Last of Us is coming to the PlayStation 4.

We're going off NeoGAF translations here, so...

Rumour You'll Be Riding Elephants in the Next Far Cry Game on PS4
Howdah like that?
Open world games always seem to have the same traversal options. The most common is a car, but planes, hang gliders, and superpowers are also repeat offenders. Fortunately, the unannounced Far Cry 4 is aiming to change things up, by allowing you to ride elephants through the Himalayas. Oh, and it’s all purportedly happening on...
Rumour Titanfall 2 Takes One Robotic Stride Closer to PS4
Mech it happen

Rumour Is the PS4 About to Become the Primary Platform for Call of Duty?
Turning the tides
Ever since it became a household name, the Call of Duty franchise has been associated with the Xbox brand.

News This Portuguese Retailer Is Certain Grand Theft Auto V Is Coming to PS4
More reasonable than Trevor
European retailers aren’t always the most reliable source, but history evidences that they definitely care less about non-disclosure agreements on the continent.

Rumour Could PS4 Exclusive Racer DriveClub Burn Rubber Next Month?
Around the bend
Evolution Studios’ delayed next-gen racer DriveClub could be about to take to the track in a matter of weeks.

The message was deleted in record time, but there’s a
Rumour Is This a Bird, Plane, or Watch Dogs Release Date?
Woof love
Ever since its delay late last year, Ubisoft has refrained from barking on about its PlayStation 4 escapade Watch Dogs. However, leaks on Sony’s website suggest that the release may be ready for ‘walkies’ again soon, as a new trailer and deploy date are supposedly imminent. And the platform holder has adde
News Atlus Dismantles Hopes of Demon's Souls 2 on PS4
Don't rule it out just yet, though
From Software’s cult action role-playing game Demon’s Souls followed a more arduous path onto the PlayStation 3 than the characters depicted in its maddeningly masochistic campaign.

Rumour Nathan Drake to Scale PS4 in Enhanced Uncharted Collection
Jumping between generations
With a new entry in Naughty Dog’s critically acclaimed Uncharted franchise on the horizon, it seems reasonable that Sony may want to clue new PlayStation 4 adopters into the previous escapades of Nathan Drake and crew.

Rumour Watch Dogs' Release Date to Be Decrypted Soon
Phone home
Ubisoft may have sucked the battery life out of upcoming open world adventure Watch Dogs by delaying the title out of its intended November 2013 release window, but the French publisher appears to be eager to rebuild the hype surrounding the once hotly anticipated PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 product. A handful of eagle eyed...
Rumour Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Star Appearing in New Mortal Kombat?
Finish him
It’s a good thing that 24 lead Kiefer Sutherland has plenty of practice playing Jack Bauer, because the actor may need to call upon his experience portraying the intrepid action hero in order to escape NetherRealm Studios’ in-house ninjas.

Rumour Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark Set to Touch PS4
Another one of Kup's war stories

Rumour PS Vita Slim Will Not Shrink the System's Price by Much
Colour variety off the cards, too
