Turn it up to eleven

The music game genre may have flopped like a manufactured boy band, but Ubisoft’s guitar guide game Rocksmith has shredded out a niche all of its own. As such, it’s no surprise to see the series make a comeback with Rocksmith 2014 Edition, which is set to release on the PlayStation 3 later this year. Much like its...

"Shiver me timbers, it's freezing"

While the live gameplay demo for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag may have sunk like a great galleon during Sony’s press conference earlier in the week, this pre-recorded offering at least allows you to experience the full sequence without the cut-scenes crashing. We appreciate the requests for the series to...

MMO will support Remote Play on Vita

Not only will Sony Online Entertainment’s free-to-play first-person shooter PlanetSide 2 look stunning on the PlayStation 4, but you’ll also be able to play it anywhere in your house courtesy of the next generation console’s Remote Play compatibility with the PlayStation Vita. As part of a brief report on...

Decisions, decisions

While the PlayStation 4 was undoubtedly one of the biggest stories at this year’s E3, there wasn’t really much in the way of new software announcements for the next generation console. A lot of the content on offer had been revealed previously, be it at Sony’s lengthy PlayStation Meeting earlier in the year, or in the...

As you were

Naughty Dog has announced on its Twitter account that it’s stomped the pesky autosave bug that has marred The Last of Us’ launch. The studio explained that the issue pertained to its local servers, and that there is no need to wait for an additional patch. All you need to do is quit to the XMB and reboot the game. “It was on our...

Brave survivors losing hours of progress

It wasn’t supposed to be like this. The Last of Us is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated titles of the year, with many eager gamers across the globe heading to stores to pick up their copies today. Unfortunately, the launch has been plagued by a disastrous bug, which can cost you hours of progress as...

You know you want one

Sony’s been in a very charitable mood lately, attempting to entice developers such as Mojang with PlayStation-related goodies. But while the gold PSone that the platform holder sent to Markus ‘Notch’ Persson was nice, these custom PlayStation 3 consoles take things a step further. Adam Boyes, the head of publisher and...

Jurassic park

It almost feels like prehistoric times since we last got an update on Wonderbook: Walking with Dinosaurs. Fortunately, the game is still very much in development – as evidenced by this brand new trailer. The title will see you assume the role of a budding archaeologist, as you chisel away at rocks for clues pertaining to legendary...

Pass the Polyjuice

After last year’s drawn out Wonderbook: Book of Spells unveiling, Sony has somewhat swept its successor Wonderbook: Book of Potions under the carpet. The sequel follows in the same footsteps as its forerunner, augmenting you with access to Zygmunt Budge’s recipe book. As opposed to learning spells, though, the tome will...

All around you

While it’s true that Sony’s casual monster catching series Invizimals hasn’t quite taken off to the extent that the platform holder probably expected, it does have a very loyal following in parts of continental Europe – and the company’s clearly aiming to double-down on that fanbase this October, with two new titles for...

Keep your driving gloves close by

Polyphony Digital has added more weight to the reports that Gran Turismo 6 is set to park onto the PlayStation 4 at some point. Chatting with Japanese publication 4Gamer.net at E3 2013, series creator Kazunori Yamauchi explained that a next generation version of the racer will “appear naturally” in the near...

It can't be for nothing

The sun may have set on E3 2013, but the fun’s just about to start for the rest of you. After weeks of waiting, Sony has finally laid The Last of Us’ decomposing carcass on physical and digital store shelves. The game – which sees you assume the role of a weary middle-aged man named Joel – takes you on an adventure...

Taking notes

This year’s E3 was very special for PlayStation. Despite dominating the industry with the PSone and the PlayStation 2, the company has assumed the role of an underdog at times during this generation. While the PlayStation 3 has played host to some phenomenal games – and posted some impressive sales figures in the process –...

Luminary dips into Media Molecule's latest

If there was one PlayStation game that we’d expect Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto to target during his time exploring Sony’s E3 2013 booth, it’s Tearaway. The colourful PlayStation Vita platformer is definitely in the Super Mario creator’s wheelhouse, boasting a vibrant world built entirely out of...

Death and decay

The Last of Us takes you on a dark journey across the United States, offering a harrowing vision of a decaying future. With humanity struck by the mutation of a deadly fungal infection, society is left to rot – and the urbanised regions of North America returned to the control of nature in the process. But while the game does an...

Still rollin'

As the sun sets on E3 for another year, Sony's still got a full day of live streaming lined up from the PlayStation E3 2013 booth. Titles on display today include Gran Turismo 6, Daylight, and Octodad. Naughty Dog will also be putting in an appearance towards the end of the day, and there'll be a brief look at Dragon's Crown and

Publishers will be able to decide if free-to-play titles require PS Plus

Despite requiring a PlayStation Plus subscription to play PlayStation 4 titles online, Sony won’t be locking streaming services such as Netflix behind a paywall. One of the biggest criticisms of Microsoft’s policy with the Xbox 360 – and presumably Xbox One – is that...

You played a part

While inFAMOUS: Second Son may not be a reboot in the traditional sense, it definitely represents a new beginning for the superhero series. Throughout the PlayStation 4 exclusive, you’ll assume the role of Delsin Rowe, a twenty-something tearaway who hopes to ‘stick it to the man’ with his smoke powers. But why did Sucker...

Light and dark

Contrast, developer Compulsion Games’ intriguing romp through the early twenties, is set to shine its spotlight on the PlayStation 4. The game – which employs a combination of light and shadow to create platforming puzzles – has already been confirmed for the PlayStation 3, but the Canadian outfit is expanding to the next...
