All of a quiver

Fortunately, there’s at least one character in Dragon’s Crown that knows how to dress properly. Atlus has deployed a brand new trailer for the upcoming PlayStation 3 and Vita brawler’s Elf, demonstrating the protagonist’s ranged attacks and respectable clothing. The full title’s due out on 6th August in North America, but...

Will supposedly ship with Metro 2033

Apocalyptic shooter Metro: Last Light could be pointing its flickering torch at the PlayStation 4, assuming that a translated interview with Ukrainian technology website ITCChannel is accurate. Apparently, during a video conversation with the publication, creative director Andrew Prokhorov hinted that the...

Stepping up to the plate

Australian outfit Nnooo has started work on a brand new PlayStation 4 title. In a statement issued earlier today, the escapeVektor developer confirmed that it already has access to development kits for Sony’s next generation platform, and that it hopes to have something to announce later in the year. “It's exciting to...

Intelligence exposed

2K Marin’s troubled XCOM shooter will step out of the shadows on 20th August in North America and 23rd August in Europe as The Bureau: XCOM Declassified. The title – which was originally planned as a first-person shooter – will now take the form of a squad-based tactical third-person shooter, similar to the Rainbow Six...

System architect promises faster access and swifter loading

While we lament the addition of another seemingly needless PlayStation 3 firmware update, Mark Cerny – the mastermind behind both the PlayStation 4 and arcade classic Marble Madness – has discussed in detail the feature inside Sony’s next generation console that will get you playing...

Loot the complete adventure this summer

As expected, Bethesda has officially confirmed that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Legendary Edition will saddle up and trot onto store shelves on 4th June in North America and 7th June in Europe. The re-release – which bundles the core campaign with all of its DLC – will set you back $59.99/£39.99...

You know the drill

We cast our news catching net out wide every day, but sometimes the odd story slips through. As such, you can imagine our surprise this evening when our PlayStation 3 prompted us to update our firmware. It seems that Sony’s stealthily deployed a patch for the system, which, well, does very little at all. Version 4.41 – which,...

Weapons and weaknesses

Microsoft has finally acknowledged its next generation console. After months of silence, rumours, and bad news, Sony’s closest competitor has confirmed that it will reveal a “new generation of games, TV, and entertainment” on 21st May. While some feel that the Redmond-based manufacturer may struggle to usurp the

"Is that your 'please punish me' face?"

Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory is a hard-sell. It’s what reviewers like to call ‘a niche title’, meaning a game that the majority of PlayStation 3 owners will pick up and then swiftly put back down. Set in a land governed by gaming tech, it's the third instalment in the Neptunia JRPG series, a franchise...

It's going to be a long weekend

Rockstar has confirmed that it will deploy three new Grand Theft Auto V trailers next week, with each focusing on a different protagonist from the main game. As confirmed earlier in the year, the title will depict the adventures of Michael, Franklin, and Trevor, a crackshot coven of crooks whose plots interconnect...

Get a grip

Is this a response to yesterday’s Xbox announcement? It’s probably a coincidence, but it’s interesting that Sony’s opted to release this trailer for the PlayStation 4’s controller less than 24 hours after Microsoft confirmed the date for its impending system’s announcement. If memory serves correctly, we think that this...

Better off dead

Dead Island: Riptide brings you back to the unfortunate backdrop of the Banoi archipelago where 2011’s flawed Dead Island left off. The infection has spread to a neighbouring island, forcing the four survivors of the previous game and one newcomer (John, a rude ex-soldier) to try and make it through another tropical apocalypse. As...

Mega Man creator in talks with Sony

Soul Sacrifice is not quite available in Europe and North America yet, but designer Keiji Inafune is already dreaming up a sequel. In an interview with IGN, the former Capcom man noted that he’s actively started discussions with Sony regarding the prospective follow-up, which we suspect will get the go-ahead...

Holding out for a Hirai

After years of reporting on Sony’s slumping sales, it looks like the company may finally be on the ascension. Games Industry.biz notes that the Japanese conglomerate has doubled its profit forecast for the fiscal year that ended on 31st March, raising the tally from ¥20 billion ($201m) to ¥40 billion ($403m). That’s a...

Peyton the ice

It’s a good thing that Lost Planet 3’s set to release at the tail end of the summer, because you won’t want to play the Spark Unlimited-developed prequel when it’s cold outside. The third-person shooter takes place a long time prior to the events of the first game, with the snowy setting of E.D.N. III still trapped in the...

Sony to premiere one hour of footage

Quantic Dream will stretch the boundaries of gaming once again this weekend, as Beyond: Two Souls becomes the first ever video game to make its mark at the, er, Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. During the Saturday night showcase – scheduled to start at 19:00PM EST or 00:00AM BST – the Parisian...

Leaked box art seems legit

Call of Duty: Ghosts, the next title in Activision’s blockbuster first-person series, is supposedly set to step out of the shadows on 5th November. At least, that’s according to a Target pamphlet, which is promoting the fact that the North American retailer is currently taking pre-orders for the unannounced game. We...

Thomas was with friends

Much like yesterday’s North American PlayStation Store update, this week’s European refresh is absolutely bursting with content. New goodies include Dead Island: Riptide, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, God Mode, Draw Slasher, and more. It’s also wort

Ready, fight

We all knew that it was coming, but somehow Microsoft has managed to shock the industry by finally acknowledging its next generation console. The company sent out invites earlier this evening, confirming that it’s poised to uncover its impending system on 21st May. As you’d expect, the event will be livestreamed through a variety of...
