News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Flatlines as Slim Model Nears
The Witcher 3's back, though
As you'd expect, PlayStation 4 sales are plummeting in Japan ahead of the Slim's imminent arrival. Sony's system sold through just 1828 units last week as the standard PS4 model is slowly phased out to make room for its sleeker sibling. Meanwhile, on the software side of things, there's no really too much to see. The...

News New Berserk PS4 Trailer Shows Why You Don't Mess with Nosferatu Zodd
He's a monster
Nosferatu Zodd lives for the thrill of battle, and that's pretty clear to see in Berserk's latest gameplay trailer. Indeed, Zodd's the star of this one as we see him make mincemeat out of his enemies in both his human and demon forms. It's still unclear how transformations actually work - we're unsure if they're just temporary or if...
News PSN Down For Third Time in Two Weeks
Let's hope it's another blip
Uh oh, the PlayStation Network seems to be down again. Over the last couple of weeks, there have been two widely reported outages - although neither has lasted more than a few hours, thankfully.

Poll Are You Happy with September's PlayStation Plus Games?
Journey of the Fallen
After August's rather divisive offering, the reaction to September's PlayStation Plus selection didn't seem too bad. With superb PlayStation exclusive Journey and the janky but enjoyable Lords of the Fallen up for grabs this month, there's an argument that this is one of the strongest line ups that the service has offered in...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 133
Are you Red E?
It's the calm before the storm – and not just because we've had a couple of days of hot weather here in the UK. No, we're referring to the fact that the next time we write a WAYP, we'll all know what the PS4K – or Neo – actually is. Exciting stuff, eh? Let's hope it doesn't leak on NeoGAF before Andy House hits the stage...

Offline and out
Battlefield 1's servers may be a bit more functional today, but Sony's aren't it seems. While not everyone appears to be affected, reports are swirling that PlayStation Network is having a few hiccups – despite the platform holder failing to comment at the time of typing. Most likely this is just a temporary blip, as was the case...
Feature PlayStation Now Review - The State of Cloud Gaming in 2016
Stream machine
PlayStation Now has been a fixture in the Sony furniture for some time now, and that's left it a little misunderstood. In absence of true backward compatibility on the PlayStation 4, many see it as a solution for PlayStation 3 gameplay on the Japanese giant's new-gen machine. But, as its recent release on the PC testifies, the...
News PlayStation Plus' September Freebies Include Journey, Lords of the Fallen on PS4
Prince of Persia! Amnesia: Memories! More!

News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Software Disappoints Across the Board
Better, but not by much
You wait weeks for a steady stream of PlayStation 4 titles to release in Japan, and then four come along at once. That's good news, right?

Rusty
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided tapped its way straight to the top of the UK sales charts, but its predecessor Human Revolution enjoyed a "much stronger" first week.

Lombax in action
There's only one real talking point when it comes to the latest Japanese sales charts: PlayStation 4 exclusive Ratchet & Clank entered in third place, selling through a kind-of-okay 27,534 copies.

Store Update 16th August 2016 (North America)
Never grow up
Despite its bright visuals and cutesy main character, we can't type Grow Up without thinking of Taylor Swift's most depressing song to date. Whatever.
