PS4 News - PlayStation 4 Latest News

Shock and awe

Sony’s marketing team often bears the brunt of the entire industry’s ire. Forum posters lament the company’s inability to successfully build excitement around its products, journalists and bloggers ridicule the department’s shortcomings, and developers no doubt privately ponder why their titles aren’t receiving the...

Company president hints that it can

PlanetSide 2 is a taxing free-to-play first-person shooter for the PC that requires a fairly robust machine to run. Despite the Sony Online Entertainment developed title being rumoured for the PlayStation 4 for a while, many have questioned whether the MMO will actually work on the next generation machine...

Conversations with consoles

We regularly whisper sweet little somethings into our PlayStation 3’s disc drive, but other than the slight purr of the system’s primary fan, we don’t get much in the way of a response. That could be about to change with the PlayStation 4, as a Linked In job listing has hinted that Sony could be about to follow in...

Old fashioned fun

Diablo III is an undeniably dense experience, but in bringing the popular PC title to the PlayStation 4, the company is hoping to streamline the adventure without stripping away any of its complexity. It intends to do this by introducing a new user interface on Sony’s impending system that will allow you to assign gear to your...

Expected functionality

Sony has a habit of teasing nifty features before going back on its word – but it looks like it wasn't telling porkies when it revealed that PlayStation Vita remote play would be compatible with virtually every PlayStation 4 game. An update to the impending platform’s official website brings the promising news, as it...

Pulling into the lead

We're not sure whether this is a coincidence, or another example of Sony's petty internal tussles. Evolution Studios has deployed a batch of brand new screenshots for its upcoming PlayStation 4 title DriveClub. The fact that Gran Turismo 6 was revealed at a swish event at Silverstone earlier this week probably has nothing to do...

Domain names confirm platform

Sony’s mysterious project The Order: 1886 – which first appeared in a trademark submitted by SCEE earlier in the year – has surfaced once again as part of a slew of domain name registrations. Notorious sleuth Superannuation picked up on website destinations – filed by the company's usual registrar – for a...

Add to basket

We desperately want to love the new PlayStation Store on the PlayStation 3. The redesign – which was introduced in customary calamitous fashion late last year – promised a prompter, prettier shopping experience. There’s no doubt that it delivered on the latter, with large ic

Kazunori Yamauchi has a next generation version in mind

While it was largely expected beforehand, this afternoon’s Gran Turismo 6 announcement proved to be a shocker for some folks. The sequel is racing onto the PlayStation 3 rather than the PlayStation 4, resulting in

Ongoing appeal

The sarcastic ‘Year of the PlayStation 3’ meme has existed as long as the console itself. Lacking software and struggling commercially next to the more affordable Xbox 360 and innovative Nintendo Wii, forum posters and bloggers adopted the scornful slogan in order to mock the manufacturer’s initial missteps with its current...

Head in the clouds

It looks like ‘Greatness Awaits’ really will be the PlayStation 4’s slogan, as Siliconera has uncovered a trademark registration for the phrase filed by Sony Computer Entertainment America. Last week, the website posted a leaked script pert

Reveal races nearer

If you had any doubt over the kind of news that this afternoon’s Gran Turismo event would bring, this image taken from the franchise’s official website should put your questions to rest. Snoops poking around the site uncovered this blank page for the still unannounced Gran Turismo 6

Bedtime reading

Killzone: Shadow Fall is arguably the best looking PlayStation 4 game that we’ve seen thus far – but a new technical breakdown published by developer Guerrilla Games has revealed that the title’s debut demo barely even prompted its potent parent hardware to sweat. The footage shown during Februar

Promising signs

The dreaded post-release content drought has affected almost every new console – but it’s been particularly pronounced of late. Despite the best efforts of Sony, the PlayStation Vita has struggled to secure a steady stream of content, and the same situation is currently occurring on Nintendo’s Wii U. Fortunately, the...

Exhaust fumes of expectation

Sony’s set to shine its headlights on the future of the Gran Turismo franchise tomorrow. The platform holder, tailed by a procession of high-profile automotive manufacturers, will descend on the legendary British race course Silverstone in order to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the simulation series. The...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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
