Review Project CARS 3 - A Somewhat Fun Arcade Racer Going Through an Identity Crisis
Change is good. Or is it?
Project CARS 3 is not a simulator. Those familiar with the series may be surprised by this, but it’s true. It doesn’t look or feel like a simulator, either on the track or away from it. There are over 200 cars with most of the big hitters on the roster, but there’s no celebration of them in the menus like you get in...

Descenders and buried
The PlayStation Store is fine if you know how to deal with its idiosyncrasies, but discovery for lesser known titles is pretty poor.

More content for less cash
Had this past weekend been the very first time you'd heard of the Games as a Service concept, there's a pretty good chance you would have come away thinking it's the literal spawn of Satan.

PS4 port, when?
Perhaps the most surprising aspect of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League so far is how colourful the world of Metropolis is.

Review Spiritfarer - Feel-Good Management Sim Is a Relaxing Cruise
Good grief
Games are so often filled with death, and it's reached a point where we don't even really think about it.

Mini Review New Super Lucky's Tale - Short and Sweet Platformer Charms Throughout
Foxing clever
We tend to think that platformers are at their best when they're forgiving in the beginning but tougher than our Nan's steaks by the finale.

MIA
You know development of a game probably isn't going too well when this is just the third article we've ever written covering Star Child since its announcement back in June 2017. This PlayStation VR title was revealed at Sony's E3 conference that year and it hasn't ever been seen since, even skipping the recent
News 505 Games Attempts to Explain Control's PS5 Upgrade Scandal
It all comes down to cash
Control publisher 505 Games caused controversy last week when it revealed that only owners of the third-person shooter’s new Ultimate Edition would be able to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version for free. If you own the original, regardless of whether you have the Season Pass or not, you’ll be bang out of luck...
News Chinese Action Game Black Myth: Wu Kong Is Attracting a Lot of Attention
And it could come to PS5
Chinese studios are no strangers to outsourcing for the biggest AAA titles, but local teams are beginning to tackle their own projects as well. We’ve seen signs of this through Sony’s China Hero project, which is designed to help independent devs port their titles to the PlayStation 4 and release them globally. Some...

News Ghost of Tsushima Patch 1.07 Boosts Stick Tolerance and Fixes More Bugs
Available to download now
Sucker Punch Productions has been very good about releasing a new patch for Ghost of Tsushima on a weekly basis ever since launch last month, and it's no different this time around. Patch 1.07 can be downloaded right now on PlayStation 4, bringing with it some smaller tweaks, fixes, and additions. The biggest of which is...
Review Peaky Blinders: Mastermind - Strategy Spin-Off Falls Short
Feeling a bit peaky
We can't quite remember when we got distracted by something else and stopped watching Peaky Blinders. All we can say is that Scarecrow was in it, Bane wasn't, and the nice palaeontologist from Jurassic Park was a rotter. We'll have to go back to it one day. Anyway, tie-in video game Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is a prequel to the...
News Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Announced, Full Reveal Next Week

News Prince of Persia Remake Hopes Reignited as Retail Listings Leak
Sands of time
Look, normally we’d treat product listings published by Guatemalan retailers with a shrug of the shoulders, but when reliable journalists like Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier comment on them – well, you kinda have to pay attention, don’t you? Here’s the story: MAX posted a page for a PlayStation 4 game named Prince of Persia...
News Why Didn't GTA: Liberty City Stories, GTA: Vice City Stories Release on PS4?
Rockstar classics were rated
Sony’s desperately short-lived PS2-to-PS4 programme was strongly supported by Rockstar, and a couple of years ago it looked like it was set to complete its Grand Theft Auto pentalogy by deploying PlayStation Portable ports Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories on Sony’s...
News This Is How Your PS4 Controller Works
Understand the engineering behind your pad
Considering how many hours we spend with a DualShock 4 controller in our hands, we’ve never really wondered how it all works. Oh, we complain about the short battery life or the wear and tear that can occur to the plastic of the analogue sticks – but how does it know that we, er, keep pushing square?...
News DOOM Eternal Render Modes Let You Transform the Visuals as You Rip and Tear
Set the MOOD
It's a quiet Wednesday afternoon, and Bethesda has taken the opportunity to spotlight a fun feature in DOOM Eternal. The bloody first person shooter looks great as it is on PlayStation 4, but if you like, you can swap out the default visuals for something a little different. There are various render modes available in the game that can...
News FIFA 21 Won't Allow PS5 and PS4 Players to Interact with Each Other
No cross-play of any kind
If you and a group of mates pick up FIFA every year, you're going to have to make sure you all upgrade to the PlayStation 5 together if you want to continue playing against one another in FIFA 21. That's because the latest iteration will not support cross-play of any kind, meaning those who stick with the PlayStation 4 past...
News Crysis Remastered Name Drop Removed From PlayStation Access Video
Is it coming out on Friday?
Update: PlayStation Access has now removed any mention of Crysis Remastered from the YouTube video mentioned in this article yesterday.

News Sony Celebrates the UEFA Champions League Final with Free PS4 Theme
Die besten
Paris Saint-Germain have already booked their place in the UEFA Champions League final, but they’re likely to face stiff competition from German juggernaut Bayern Munich – unless Lyon can make it an all French final tonight with the biggest upset since, well, when they beat Manchester City the other day. You’ve no doubt already seen...
News Unrailed Is a Co-Op Train Management Game Arriving on PS4 Next Month
Choo choo
At first glance, Unrailed looks like lots of other indie titles with its simplistic, blocky visuals. However, this game seems like a neat new spin on co-op play that has us intrigued. Up to four players, online or local, must work together to get their train from A to B, gathering resources to build more track and carefully planning ahead...

Castlevania! Metal Gear! Ni no Kuni!
Bit of a weird name for this one, but we move.

Soapbox Rhythm Games Are the Real Stars of PSVR
Move to the beat
Reviewing Pistol Whip recently, I started thinking about PlayStation VR rhythm games and why specifically I seem to like them so much. And after putting some thought into it, I think I finally figured it out. Music is a very physical thing. No matter who you are or what kind of music you hear, some part of you is going to innately...
