  • News Leaked The Wolf Among Us 2 Screens Not Legit

    "Likely something a fan created"

    A selection of "screenshots" from The Wolf Among Us 2 leaked online earlier today – except they didn’t as Telltale has debunked them. The images – which concerned fans due to protagonist Bigby Wolf’s bulkier appearance – were most likely created by a fan. Despite the criticism of the lead character, the...

  • News Indie Devs Are Finding Their Feet with Cheap Platinum Trophies

    "A lot of people will buy it"

    There’s no doubt that the PlayStation 4’s audience is changing, and indie developers are finding it harder than ever to ensure their games stand out against both AAA blockbusters and their many contemporaries. This is particularly problematic for new studios, who don’t have a major hit to their name or an existing...

  • News PSN Down as Users Can't Sign In

    Saturday night fever

  • News EDF! EDF! EDF! Will Bug the West This Year

    Earth Defense Force 5 coming soon

    Earth Defense Force 5 will ham up the PlayStation 4 this year. The game – which is already available in Japan – popped up on Sony’s official YouTube channel earlier this week, with a “coming soon” notice. It’s yet to be officially confirmed by D3 Publisher, but pre-orders are live on the North American...

  • DLC Review NEXT Makes No Man's Sky the Best It's Ever Been

    NEXT gen

    The tale of No Man's Sky is fascinating. This enormously ambitious game comes from a tiny Guildford studio, previously known for Joe Danger. Excitement swirled out of control, regrettable things were said during interviews, and people were losing their minds. When the game launched two years ago, it all came crumbling down. Expectations...

  • News No Man's Sky Patch 1.51 Released on PS4, Fixes Nasty Save Bug

    Hazard protection

    No Man's Sky's NEXT update launched just a few days ago, but Hello Games has already put out a new patch in an effort to stamp out some bugs. Most notably, the patch fixes an issue where players were unable to reload their save data under certain conditions, meaning they had to start afresh to keep playing. It's ready to download...

  • Review The Banner Saga 3 (PS4)

    Iver bad feeling about this

    The Banner Saga 3 is a fitting end for the light tactical RPG series, and one that feels less like a sequel and more like the third act of a cohesive whole. The combat system used in the series up until this point remains relatively unchanged, and most of the mechanics are carried over as is. This isn't about reinventing...

  • News Media Molecule Builds Dreamon's Souls in an Hour

    Dreams continues to drop jaws

    Dreams never ceases to amaze, it really doesn’t. Media Molecule’s been promoting a ‘Gothic Novel Game Jam’ for a few days now, and it went live on Twitch earlier today to essentially construct a Demon’s Souls-inspired game stage in around about an hour. It created a lot of the assets prior to going live in the...

  • News Boundless Breaks Boundaries from 11th September on PS4

    Bound to be good?

    Innovative Minecraft-inspired MMO Boundless will begin its interplanetary adventure from 11th September on the PlayStation 4, developer Wonderstruck has announced. The gargantuan online game pretty much lets you do whatever you like in its enormous sandbox, building settlements and trading items as you see fit. Of course there’s...

  • Review Train Sim World (PS4)

    Mind the gap

    We still haven’t quite concluded what makes the “work simulator” sub-genre so compelling, but Train Sim World definitely taps into it. Like the early days of Farming Simulator, this game’s obsessive adherence to protocol and attention to detail makes it an experience we’ve found strangely compulsive – even if we’ve spent...

  • News So, Er, Shadow of the Tomb Raider Has Gone Gold

    Lickety split

    Shadow of the Tomb Raider is finished. Wait, what?! That’s freakin’ early, isn’t it? The game’s due out on 14th September, so Square Enix has almost two months to press Blu-ray discs and print cover art. We can’t help but wonder, given the density of the release schedule, whether the launch date may be moved forwards – but...
