Title targeting the 'leading next generation console'

War Thunder, the first-person military MMO from Gaijin Entertainment, will rocket onto the PlayStation 4 later this year. In a press release issued earlier today, the Russian developer revealed that it will be leveraging the “potent power” of Sony’s next generation console to redefine the...

Platform holder fears increased pressure from Microsoft

It looks like Sony has heeded our advice, and opted to prioritise Europe ahead of the launch of the PlayStation 4. CVG claims that the manufacturer has earmarked the region as one of its most important targets, and has committed to do “whatever it takes” in order to release its next...

Big shoes to fill

The first instalment in Lucid Games’ promising episodic puzzler Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery will unravel on the PlayStation Vita this week.

Evidence destroyed

The 23-year-old man believed to be responsible for hacking the PlayStation Network has avoided a serious jail spell after destroying evidence linking him to the crime. Todd Miller of Columbus, Ohio was sentenced to a year on house arrest for obstructing a federal investigation after he smashed his computers and disposed of the...

Blood money

We’re worried that Sony’s going to point its own hired guns in our general direction, as this brand new Killzone: Mercenary trailer doesn’t look like it should have gone live yet. Still, it shows off another minute of the hotly anticipated PlayStation Vita exclusive, and plays up the game’s underlying commercial aspect. The...

Storage insanity

The announcement of the PlayStation Vita’s price sent rapturous applause throughout the industry. At the time, many pundits had predicted that the handheld would cost upwards of $350 – a figure not unreasonable for a company that’s famous for the extortionate price of its consoles. The firm eventually disappointed its...

Smoke and mirrors

Sucker Punch is a forward thinking studio. Just a year after releasing the original inFAMOUS, the team entered into negotiations with platform holder Sony about bringing its superhero series to the PlayStation 4. At the time, the outfit had just started work on the second game in the franchise, and it knew that it wanted to...

So, you want to play?

No matter how much you want it to be authentic, we’re afraid to say that this incredible PlayStation 4 trailer is as false as your grandparents’ teeth. A representative for Sony Computer Entertainment America has confirmed to Kotaku that the footage was not produced nor released by the company, meaning that it’s little...

Analyst doesn't think it matters, though

Divisive industry analyst Michael Pachter believes that anticipation for the PlayStation 4 has started to fade as gamers await the announcement of Microsoft’s next generation console. However, he doesn’t feel that Sony has too much to worry about, as the pendulum could swing again at E3 next month...

Umming and ahhing

Final Fantasy X-2 HD could yet include the Japan exclusive epilogue ‘Last Mission’, though Square Enix hasn’t quite made up its mind yet. According to Famitsu magazine, the company is “undecided” as to whether the International Edition add-on will make its way into the PlayStation 3 and Vita re-release, but it’s giving...

Soul Sacrifice not quelling the region's bloodlust

If there’s one title that could propel the PlayStation Vita’s sales sky high in Japan, it would be Monster Hunter. While the likeable Soul Sacrifice has proved a decent substitute – becoming the console’s third best selling title in its domestic territory – Eastern owners of the struggling...

Shipwrecks a recurring theme

Rotten semi-sequel Dead Island: Riptide has secured a third week atop the UK sales charts, proving that it’s not easy to lay an undead corpse to rest. The title fought off continued competition from evergreen first-person shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Crystal Dynamics’ likeable Tomb Raider reboot. Superhero...

Quick, before Big Brother locks it down

YouTube user GamesHQMedia must have access to Chicago’s CtOS or something, as the hacker has uploaded six full minutes of Watch Dogs. The video – which is admittedly a bit grainy – is supposedly running on a PC specced to the same level as a PlayStation 4. Honestly, we’re a teensy bit disappointed by...

Showered in riches

A royal affair like Dragon’s Crown was never going to eschew pre-order bonuses.

The tome will also include scrawls by...

French website spills the gasoline

Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi has got his fancy satellite navigation set pointed at Silverstone. Last week, Sony confirmed that it will be descending on the British race track on 15th May in order to reveal the future of Polyphony Digital’s simulation series. That reveal is rumoured to include a brand...

Ex-Epic Games employee speaks out

Of all of the new features being incorporated into the PlayStation 4, it’s the humble Share button that’s probably got the most press. The simple input will allow you to capture, edit, and upload footage on the fly, and Gears of War developer Cliff Bleszinski – who’s now a free agent after exiting Epic Games...

We can make it if we try

Sony’s typically terrible at marketing its first-party games, but it seems to recognise the importance of The Last of Us. This brand new spot for the impending Naughty Dog epic does a brilliant job of portraying the PlayStation 3 exclusive as a hard-edged action game, without necessarily shying away from the soft sugary...

Breath of fire

Where’s the fun in honesty? We could be transparent and reveal that we totally forgot to push the publish button on our latest Game of the Month article, but let’s run with a more ambitious narrative instead. So, in actual fact, the whole Push Square team has spent the past eleven days locked in an underground basement,...

Smiles like sunshine

The sun has set on another work week, and like many of you, our attention is firmly focused on another weekend of gaming gluttony. To maintain tradition, we’ve caught up with a number of team members in order to learn what’s on their agenda over the next couple of days, but we’d love to know what’s keeping your consoles...

Diamond in the rough

Knack’s struggled to garner the same post-announcement press as its blockbuster peers over the past couple of months. The throwback PlayStation 4 platformer directed by system architect Mark Cerny aims to occupy a similar space to first-party classics such as Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon. There’s some debate over...

Crawling in the dark

The claustrophobic corridors of the Queen Zenobia will come to life next week, when Capcom deploys a demo for Resident Evil: Revelations onto the PlayStation Network. Starting from 14th May in North America, you’ll be able to get to get your greasy mitts on a high-definition Jill Valentine – and shoot out some undead blubber...

Walking with dinosaurs

Despite looking like one of the more intriguing PlayStation 4 titles, Lukewarm Media has been keeping Primal Carnage: Genesis under wraps. Fortunately, as part of its extensive cover story, Game Informer magazine has prompted developer Lukewarm Media to ro

Fiery favourite

Drinkbox Studios’ brilliant Guacamelee! has proven that it’s hotter than chilli con carne, topping the PlayStation Network sales charts in both Europe and North America for the month of April. The side-scrolling brawler fought off a cavalcade of heavy-hitters in each region, including the likes of

Shuhei Yoshida spills the beans

Sony’s already demonstrated its willingness to support different business models on the PlayStation 4, announcing episodic adventure Primal Carnage: Genesis and freemium shooter Blacklight: Retribution at GDC. But now the platform holder has revealed that it’s experimenting with the different initiatives itself,...
