Mother superior firepower

Much to Sony’s dismay, the PlayStation Vita has struggled since launch. There’s constant debate over what the handheld needs – does it need more AAA titles that really show off the hardware’s power, or does it just need more software in general? It’s a dilemma brought about by the vicious cycle of development...

Legs like tree trunks

We’re pretty confident that you could see the thighs of Dragon’s Crown’s playable Amazon character from space.

And it's not an indie game

Shahid Kamal Ahmad clearly saw the poll results to our PlayStation Vita reaction article overnight. The senior business development manager at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe – who spends more time on Twitter than he does asleep – is responsible for a number of the indie games coming to the system, but he’s also...

Social racing

While the game appears to share a number of similarities with the Gran Turismo franchise, DriveClub developer Evolution Studios doesn’t foresee any crossover between the two brands. Speaking with EDGE, game director Matt Southern explained that the company is confident that its PlaySt

Greatness awaits us all

There will be no crying babies, pregnant women, or weird Scottish girls in the PlayStation 4’s first big marketing push. Siliconera claims to have obtained information regarding the next generation console’s inaugural promotional campaign, which will supposedly use the ta

Father of PlayStation teams up with Soul Sacrifice developer

Boarback riding

Media Molecule has scrunched up details on a couple of pre-order bonuses for its upcoming PlayStation Vita exclusive Tearaway, and tossed the information online.

Ubisoft discusses the power of Sony's impending platform

It's not all bad

Sony’s financial report more or less put a nail in the coffin of the PlayStation Vita earlier today. The company revealed that it only expects to sell 5 million handheld consoles over the next twelve months, a reduction of 2 million units compared to the fiscal year that’s just concluded. While the platform holder will pin...

Still work to be done

Sony gaffer Kaz Hirai has successfully steered the electronics giant back into the black. The company announced its first profit in five years earlier today, revealing a net income of ¥43 billion ($458 million). The figure certainly makes for pleasant reading compared to the enormous ¥456.7 billion ($4.6 billion) loss that...

It's hip to be square

Although 'simple and charming' is a worn-out phrase used to describe the numerous puzzle platformers on the PlayStation Network, there's no question that those three words suit Thomas Was Alone perfectly. Guiding geometric shapes through a gauntlet of hazards and obstacles is the order of the day, but while the cross-buy...

Targeting PSN on 29th May

Semaphore’s obvious homage to the Uncharted franchise Unearthed: Trail of Ibn Battuta will fire onto the PlayStation Network on 29th May, the developer has announced.

Forecasts look bad for the struggling system

Sony as a whole may look in much better shape under the guidance of new CEO and former SCE president Kaz Hirai, but the outlook does not seem quite as good for the PlayStation Vita. Speaking as part of an earnings call earlier today, the firm revealed that it only expects to sell 5 million portable...

Platform holder not expecting big losses

Sony doesn’t expect the PlayStation 4 to nuke its bank balance to quite the same degree as the PlayStation 3. Those of you that were around at the start of the generation will recall the manufacturer’s current console almost crippling the company, even in spite of its exorbitant launch price...

Let 'er rip

We’ve known for some time that Sony Santa Monica is working on a second project. Like many of PlayStation’s first-party teams, the prolific developer has been split into two groups – with one half producing a mysterious title under the guidance of God of War III director Stig Asmussen. But what could it be? Well, chances are...

Form an orderly queue

Sprinting around your living room kitted out in homemade N7 armour may make you feel like Commander Shepard, but you’ll need to splash out on this replica Paladin Pistol in order to truly complete the look.

Platform holder waives license fee

As part of its ongoing indie initiative, Sony has announced that budding developers will no longer have to pay a license fee in order to publish PlayStation Mobile games.

Nuns with guns

This week’s European PlayStation Store update is slightly better than its North American counterpart, but only because of the overdue arrival of Nun Attack on the PlayStation Vita. Other new releases include Alien Spidy and a demo for Insomniac Games’ upcoming Fuse. Let’s get down to business, shall we? PS3 Games: Alien Spidy...

Spark up

After several strong updates, it was only a matter of time before expectations came crashing down to Earth. This week’s North American PlayStation Store update is so flat that we’re struggling to pick out a highlight. We suppose that the demo for Insomniac Games’ upcoming Fuse is interesting, right? There's certainly nothing else...
