News Surprise! Capcom's Dark Fantasy Deep Down Actually Takes Place In New York, 2094
A sci-fi setting with procedural dungeons
Remember Deep Down, the impressive PS4 action title unveiled by Capcom not so long ago? Well, it would appear the game isn't all that it seems, as a new trailer released at this morning's Sony Computer Entertainment Japan press conference attests. Despite the medieval aesthetic, the game is actually set in...
News Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Has Enough Content to Sink a Ship
Lots to see and do
Ever since the original Assassin’s Creed got hammered for lacking variety, Ubisoft has been working hard to ensure that the series is packed with plenty of things to do. That appears to be reaching a climax in Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, as this ten minute video demonstrates just a handful of the activities that you can...
News Preside Over Watch Dogs with 14 Minutes of Dynamic Open World Gameplay
Hacky ever after
For every Watch_Dogs trailer that Ubisoft releases, we're forced to type another obnoxious underscore – and unfortunately for us, there has been plenty of footage. Thankfully, this latest video, which boasts a whole 14 minutes of open world gameplay, is well worth the annoyance. Everything from gunplay and driving, to casually...
News Watch Mark Cerny Have a Natter About Knack in Japanese
Smash and crash
Sony’s ongoing ‘Conversations with Creators’ video series is back – but this time with a bit of a twist. For the latest instalment, Mark Cerny has decided to adopt his Japanese tongue to talk a little bit about Knack. The lead architect of the PlayStation 4 has also served as the creative director on the upcoming launch...
News Road Not Taken Follows a Foreign Path on PS4 and Vita
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
The best thing about indie games is that many of them come from the strangest places. Spry Fox’s upcoming Road Not Taken, for example, is based upon Robert Frost’s poem of the same name. How often do you see a major publisher building its latest blockbuster around a classic piece of fiction? We’ll accept any...
News This PlayStation Plus Sizzle Reel Will Make You Feel Good
Lovin' every minute
Despite switching to a paid multiplayer model on the PlayStation 4, it’s pretty incredible how Sony has managed to keep any backlash to a minimum. PlayStation Plus is already such a stellar service that it feels like there’s been a shrug of the shoulders from the gaming community in general. It would be better if online play...
News Ellen Page Examines a Beautiful Drama in Beyond: Two Souls Trailer
Once more with feeling
There’s something quite unsettling about this Beyond: Two Souls trailer. We’re not quite sure if it’s the haunting background music or the fact that star Ellen Page constantly sounds like she’s on the verge of tears, but it’s all rather emotional. Then again, we suspect that that directive came directly from, er,...
News Cosmic Star Heroine Is the Retro Sci-Fi RPG You've Been Waiting For
Shining light
If you’re reading this, then you’re doing it wrong. Skip through all of the text and just watch the awesome SEGA CD-inspired trailer below. Then try to tell us that you’re not excited for Cosmic Star Heroine, the upcoming sci-fi RPG love-letter in production at two-man development outfit Zeboyd Games. The title was confirmed for...
News Glug Some Grog with the Cast of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
Drunk on dialects
Our overseas readers will do well to study this brand new Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag video, as it very much provides a crash course on the various British accents. Acting as an introduction to the game’s main cast, the footage features an Englishman, a Scotsman, and a Welshman. All we need now is an Irishman, and we’ve...
News Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate Plans a Prison Break
Wentworth Miller missing in action
Outside of an off-screen gameplay video, we’ve seen very little of Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate. Fortunately, publisher Warner Bros has finally remembered to release a trailer. The game’s premise will be familiar to fans of Batman: Arkham Asylum, as the goons of Gotham City take control of Blackgate...
News Grand Theft Auto 5 Plots the Perfect Heist in New Trailer
High stakes
Unfazed by the spate of leaks that have affected its launch a little, Rockstar Games has deployed a brand new Grand Theft Auto V trailer. Unlike the recent gameplay videos, this is a purely cinematic short which will also air on television. Those of you that are fans of Breaking Bad will be able to catc
News Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus Floats into the Depths of Space
Looks like a crackin' time
Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus may be struggling to attain much attention amid next generation fever, but the throwback platformer looks like it’s legitimately worth anticipating. Veteran developer Insomniac Games is done with the atypical adventures that have plagued the series of late, and is plumping up for a...

This brand new video shows piratical protagonist Edward Kenway enjoying a spot of water-based warfare, as he takes down a couple of enemy boats and a fortress in...
News Oh, There's a New Grand Theft Auto 5 Trailer Coming This Week
Just so you know
Rockstar Games is probably the only publisher in the world that can prompt reporters to write a full story about the fact that there’s a new trailer for one of its titles on the way. Other companies have to release teaser videos and screenshots to get the hype rolling, but not the firm behind Grand Theft Auto V – it didn’t...
GamesCom 2013 Killzone: Shadow Fall Dazzles with Delicious Multiplayer Footage
Play by your own rules
Killzone: Shadow Fall may have some stiff competition in Battlefield 4 and Call of Duty: Ghosts, but it’s shaping up to be the first-person shooter to own alongside your shiny new PlayStation 4. Dutch developer Guerrilla Games took the gas mask off the first-pa
GamesCom 2013 Avoid Droid Stays Out of the Way on Vita
Colourful chaos
The best thing about the current indie game renaissance on the PlayStation Vita is that you never quite know what you’re going to get. Take the upcoming Avoid Droid, for example, which squeezes the fruity centres out of Pac-Man and Snake, and blends the juices into one mouth-watering concoction. The aim of the game is to nibble on...
GamesCom 2013 inFAMOUS: Second Son Designed with Speed in Mind
Got any smokes?
Much like all of Sony’s first-party studios, Sucker Punch played an instrumental role in the design of the DualShock 4 controller. The company – which, of course, is hard at work on inFAMOUS: Second Son – is using all of the unique features of the peripheral, from the touchpad for computer panels, right through to the on-board...
GamesCom 2013 BigFest Brings Music Festival Management to Vita
Big business, small bands
Assuming that you’re the type of person that loves to jabber on about unsigned indie bands rather than the latest Lady GaGa hit – it’s pretty good, by the way – BigFest should be your mug of homebrew. Leaked earlier in the year, and announced during the platform holder’s GamesCom press conference
GamesCom 2013 RIME Fuses All of Your Favourite Games in One Beautiful PS4 Sandbox
Sunshine and sand
GamesCom 2013 played host to a handful of truly tasty looking titles from Sony’s external development network, but Tequila Works’ gorgeous RIME totally stole the show. Still very much shrouded in mystery, the PlayStation 4 adventure looks like the outcome of an illicit threesome between ICO,
GamesCom 2013 So, Shadow of the Beast Is Making a Comeback
Altered beast
One of the more unexpected announcements during Sony’s big GamesCom 2013 press conference this week revolved around Heavy Spectrum’s reimagining of Shadow of the Beast. As a refresher for our younger readers, the original release was a side-scrolling brawler deployed almost 25 years ago on the Commodore Amiga. It was developed by...
GamesCom 2013 Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Goes Overboard With CG Hair
How much does this cost
Square Enix has always been known for its love of CG cutscenes, but we think that the opening part of this new trailer for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII might be taking things a touch too far. It's almost like moody heroine Lightning and gritty-rebooted Snow exist purely to show off their designer hairstyles, despite...
GamesCom 2013 Killzone: Mercenary Does It All for the Money
Pound land
Forget pride and honour – Killzone: Mercenary refuses to whip out its weapons for anything less than a suitcase stacked to the seams with cash. With the public beta already in operation, you’re probably too busy actually popping Helghast helmets to watch another trailer, but this does show off some of the more extravagant set-pieces...
GamesCom 2013 ResoGun Assaults Your Senses on PS4
Let your colours burn

GamesCom 2013 Batman: Arkham Origins' Firefly Trailer Sets Gotham Ablaze
Cooking with bat
How much action can you possibly cram into one trailer? That's a question Batman: Arkham Origins asks with its newest video, which shows our shadowy hero fending off the multiple assassins that will be hunting his head throughout the game. The new footage also introduces us to Firefly, a villain who's handy with a flamethrower...
GamesCom 2013 Murasaki Baby Takes PlayStation Vita by the Hand
Heart-shaped balloon

GamesCom 2013 Everybody's Gone to the Rapture on PS4
The end of the world as we know it
It wouldn’t be a PlayStation press conference without the debut of a title out of the ordinary, and Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture certainly filled that role during today’s GamesCom briefing. The first-person adventure – heading to the PlayStation 4 – promises to blend simple gameplay with a deep and...
GamesCom 2013 Helldivers Swoops onto PS4, PS3, and Vita Next Year
Your freedom is threatened

GamesCom 2013 Even Killzone: Shadow Fall's Multiplayer is Swamped in Colour
No more browns and greys

The trailer shows off a...
GamesCom 2013 Crash Around with Knack in this Cinematic Trailer
A knack for storytelling
PlayStation 4 launch title Knack's newest trailer focuses on the story and Pixar-like cinematics of the game, as we get our most in-depth look yet at the characters and events involved. Knack's deep voice is certainly something that we'll have to get used to, but it does look like the release will attempt to tell a charming...

GamesCom 2013 Delsin has the Power in this New inFAMOUS: Second Son Trailer
Rather stunning
Fresh from Sony's GamesCom conference comes this new inFAMOUS: Second Son trailer, that's full of cinematics and moody lighting. And the best part? You won't have to put up with the increasingly frustrating camera angles from the presser itself. The more we see of Delsin, the more that we think he's the kind of protagonist the...
GamesCom 2013 Velocity 2X Steps Out of the Ship on PS4 and Vita

News Puppeteer Presents an Epic Tale of Past Performances
Curtain call

News Thief Rises from 25th February on PS4 and PS3
Real steal
Say what you will about Square Enix, the company knows how to produce a decent trailer.

It may...

Good night, good luck

That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though, as evidenced by the footage embedded below. The trailer shows off a...
News PlayStation Vita Pets Dresses Talking Dogs in Tutus
Wag your tail and woof
