Talking Point PS5 Delay Is Possible, And We Could Have to Accept That
Not now next-gen
As far as we know, the PlayStation 5 is still scheduled to release this coming holiday. Of course, we’re beginning to get the distinct impression that plans may change. Sony’s been relatively quiet about its next-gen plans since it showcased the system’s familiar logo at CES 2020 earlier in the year, but while it still may be...

Leap year edition
The weather is abysmal and the threat of germs linger on the horizon. Why would anyone want to go outside at all? Fresh air? It’s overrated – we plan to use our DualShock 4 as a kind of life support, and games are the only oxygen we need. Sammy Barker, Editor: Having left Concrete Genie in favour of work-related reviews,...

Weekend wonders
It’s not been a particularly busy week in the games industry, but Dreams’ release feels significant, not just because it’s a major game but because more big launches are right around the corner. Yes, delays mean that the schedule isn’t quite as crowded as it once was, but you better start thinking about cleaning up that...

That time again
There's no Super Bowl this weekend, and not even a full programme of Premier League fixtures, so sports shouldn't get in the way of your gaming. We've got a relatively short WAYP for you this time, but the comments have been on fire for a while, so we're looking forward to a bumper number of replies below. Sammy Barker, Editor: I...

Chiefs vs 49ers
That’s an entire month of 2020 done and dusted. Can you believe it? The clock doesn’t stop, and we’re edging closer to those big spring PlayStation 4 titles as a result. In the meantime, what’s keeping you busy this weekend? Sammy Barker, Editor: I haven’t been able to commit to Judgment quite like I hoped to, but I want...

Talking Point Why Don't More PS4 Games Use Gyro Aiming?
Fine tune
Motion controls were a big part of the previous generation, but they carried a bad reputation into the PlayStation 4 era. While the Nintendo Wii was massively successful at first, its sales plummeted once it had peaked, as players realised that pack-in Wii Sports had already extracted much of its potential. Microsoft’s Xbox Kinect...

Talking Point In a Week Full of PS4 Game Delays, Are You Disappointed?
DelayStation 4
It's been a bit of a strange week in the world of video games, hasn't it? In amongst Sony's withdrawal from E3 2020 and all but confirmation of Horizon: Zero Dawn heading to PC with more PlayStation 4 exclusives set to follow, two of the year's biggest games were delayed. Final Fantasy VII Remake was pushed back by a month while...

Talking Point Is Sony Right to Skip E3 2020?
Jumping ship
Is Sony right to miss out on E3 for the second year in a row? The Japanese giant announced overnight that it won't be attending E3 2020, saying that the Los Angeles event simply isn't the right venue for PlayStation 5. The company's statement comes across as somewhat prickly, but it's been reasonably clear for a while now that there's...

End of the year edition
It’s the last What Are You Playing of the year – heck, it’s the last What Are You Playing of the decade. And don’t bring that nonsense about when decades start and end in the comments section – it’s probably the most tired discussion of the, well, decade. No, don’t say it! Stop! Sammy Barker, Editor: Now that...

Defining moments
You’ve read the articles on our defining PlayStation Games of the Decade, but what’s your favourite?

Talking Point Should Capcom Remake Resident Evil 4?
What're ya developin?
Resident Evil 2 has already proven to be incredibly lucrative for Japanese publisher Capcom. After shipping over four million copies just a month into the game's time on the market, it's clear why the Osaka-based company already has Resident Evil 3 in the works for 2020. The remakes capitalize on that sweet PSone nostalgia to...

It’s a landmark edition of What Are You Playing This Weekend, and we still haven’t missed a single issue.

From a galaxy far, far away

What are you playing this weekend? You...
Talking Point Is the PS4's Final Year of Relevance in Danger of Becoming Overhyped?
Let's all calm down for a second
Let's not beat around the bush here. Besides Death Stranding, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Resident Evil 2, 2019 has been a poor year for major video game releases on PlayStation 4. The AAA space has seen the likes of ANTHEM's disappointment and seemingly big titles come and go without an ounce of post-launch...

Talking Point Does Death Stranding's Non-Exclusivity Matter?
Blowing off Steam
The greatest will-they-won’t-they saga in gaming finally has a conclusion: Death Stranding will release on the PC next year.

Modern warfare
After a couple of weeks off, your humble host is back to post the latest WAYP. That means that it’s a desperately short edition, because apparently no one cares to respond to Sammy’s requests.

Talking Point If Bluepoint Games Isn't Working on Demon's Souls, What's Your Dream Sony Remake?
Dreams v Reality
Bluepoint Games, the studio behind the masterful remake of Shadow of the Colossus, is working on its next project. Primed for PlayStation 5, it's more than likely going to be another Sony IP brought back from the dead that will be revitalized in all its 4K glory. The question is though, what game will it be? Rumours of a Demon's...

Rainy days
It's been raining near constantly outside the Push Square Towers window, and with all those autumnal leaves littering the ground, going outside is a borderline health risk. Rather than risking our lives walking along slippery pavements, we'll be staying indoors playing video games, thanks very much. Feel free to use that excuse if...
Talking Point What if the PS5 Could Play Games from Every PlayStation Console?
A pipedream?
Here’s an outlandish idea: what if the PlayStation 5 could play games from every PlayStation console ever made – including the handhelds? To be clear, that would include: PS5, PS4, PS3, PS2, PSone, PS Vita, and PSP – the manufacturer’s entire 25 year history, in one device. Obviously, we wouldn’t expect the next-gen console to...

Can you believe that it's been over 15 months since we last saw The Last of Us: Part II in action?

Talking Point Is a PlayStation Game Pass Viable?
Could Sony realistically mirror Microsoft's popular endeavour?

Doesn’t feel like the gaming industry’s quite got back to full speed after the slow summer holidays yet, does it?

Talking Point Should Sony Introduce a Game Pass Subscription of Its Own?
Subscription wars
Besides the lack of gameplay demos and Banjo-Kazooie, perhaps the biggest story of E3 2019 has been Microsoft’s excellent Game Pass subscription.
