News Media Molecule Shows How a Campaign Level Is Created in Dreams
And then fiddles with it
Dreams has a short single player campaign which is designed to showcase what's possible, and in this new Game Informer gameplay video, co-founder Mark Healy shows a playthrough of the stage (which is great – we played it a couple of weeks ago) and then switches to edit mode to prove that it was all made in-game. The...
News Red Dead Redemption 2 Timed Exclusive PS4 Content Revealed
It's f**king nothing.gif
Sony’s got the marketing deal for Red Dead Redemption 2, which means timed exclusive trinkets for PlayStation 4 owners. As expected, the additional content isn’t really worth shouting about, so if you happen to be an Xbox player reading a PlayStation website, then we wouldn’t worry too much about the extras. Here’s...
Hands On Devil May Cry 5 Is the Sequel You've Been Waiting For
Dante stop believin'
Wherever you stand on DmC: Devil May Cry, the fact is that Ninja Theory didn’t deliver the game that fans wanted. By rebooting the series and changing a certain character’s hair colour, the Cambridge developer lost most ardent fans overnight; the combat, despite being especially good in the remastered Definitive Edition,...
Hands On Resident Evil 2's Action Is Intense on the PS4
Busting Birkin
Resident Evil 2 feels like the best kind of déjà vu. You’ll undoubtedly recognise characters and locations in Capcom’s long-awaited PSone revival, but this PlayStation 4 remake is still very much its own game. We recently got to go hands on with Claire Redfield’s portion of the campaign, and while our demo was restricted to a...
News Dreams Will Run at 60 Frames-Per-Second Unless You Break It
Remember to show some restraint
Dreams will run at 60 frames-per-second, but you will be able to make the engine chug if you fail to optimise your levels. Speaking as part of a Game Informer interview, Media Molecule co-founder Alex Evans explained that players who really push the level editor may find that their creations run as low as 30...
News EA Sports Closely Monitoring Cristiano Ronaldo Allegations
Portuguese forward under-fire
Juventus forward and global superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is embroiled in a scandal, and it’s reached the point where some of his principal sponsors have been forced to come out and comment. Alongside sportswear giant Nike, publisher EA Sports has said that it’s “closely monitoring the situation” after rape...
News Spider-Man PS4 DLC to Give Fans Something Fresh
New York still needs you
A great game will often leave you longing for more, and Marvel’s Spider-Man is a shining example of that. While it’s a relatively painless Platinum Trophy to acquire, we’ve been staggered by the number of players who’ve already seen the title through to 100 per cent completion – especially when you consider just...
News Retained Telltale Staffers Now Also Made Redundant
Skeleton crew axed
There were reports today that Telltale Games was looking for a new company to re-hire former staff in order to finish up the final two episodes of The Walking Dead, which was wild in its own rights. However, this is a story that keeps escalating by the day, and now it’s emerged that
Guide All Free PS Plus Games in 2018
A complete list of every 2018 PlayStation Plus game
What are the latest PS Plus games? Sony gives out six (or sometimes more) free games to PlayStation Plus subscribers every single month, and we’ll be keeping a rolling tally of the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita giveaways right through 2018. Feel free to bookmark this page and check...
Soapbox Kingdom Hearts III Was My First Taste of Kingdom Hearts
Did the light defeat the dark?
I’ve had a morbid obsession with Kingdom Hearts III for a fair share of its worryingly protracted development cycle. See, here’s the thing: I kinda like Disney – well, mid-90s Disney anyway. I was a snotty nosed tween when the company was enjoying its cinematic renaissance, so I grew up with legendary movies like...
News PS4 Controlled 63% of the UK's Software Share in September
Marvelous
Sony absolutely obliterated the competition in September, with the PlayStation 4 controlling 62.8 per cent of the UK’s physical software share. This means that it comfortably outsold any packaged games sold on the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC – combined. Its share increased from 40.4 per cent in August due to the success of
News Dreams Will Support PSVR at Launch, Online Multiplayer Coming Later
Virtual insanity
Dreams will allow you to create and play virtual reality levels at launch, as Media Molecule has committed to day one PlayStation VR support. Originally, the British developer said that it would be adding support for Sony’s headset post-launch; reports then suggested that it had changed its stance, and the functionality would be...
News Media Molecule Doesn't Crunch, Reckons It's Too 90s
Work hard, play hard
We’ve been made to wait for Media Molecule’s Dreams, which the gaming community revels in pointing out at any given opportunity. To be fair to the Guildford-based developer, there’s no blueprint for what it’s doing here: its PlayStation 4 exclusive is truly unique, and while its roots can be traced back to...
News Dreams Beta Will Still Launch This Year, All Creations Will Carry Across
Sleep tight
Media Molecule’s been saying that Dreams’ beta will launch “this year” since, like, 2015 – but it seems certain we’ll all be creating before the end of 2018. Speaking as part of a rapid fire question session with Game Informer magazine, co-founder Alex Evans said that the beta’s due at some point this year, so we suppose...
News This RUSSIA 2055 Trailer Shared by Hideo Kojima Is Suspicious
Created by Joakim Mogren?
Death Stranding director Hideo Kojima shared a trailer for a game called RUSSIA 2055 on social media today, and it’s being developed by a studio that we’ve never heard of before. Ordinarily we’d shrug and move on with our lives, but this is the same guy who created a f
News Metal Gear Solid's Stefanie Joosten Seemingly Set for Death Stranding
Quiet
Hideo Kojima is having a blast casting all of his mates for Death Stranding, so it’s perhaps no surprise to see Stefanie Joosten pop up in the latest trailer. We’ve got to be honest, this completely passed us by, but online sleuths appear to have uncovered the truth. You may recall protagonist Sam carrying a mysterious woman on his back in...
News Cyberpunk 2077 Will Be Distributed by Warner Bros in North America
Pledged for PS4 once again
Much like The Witcher III: Wild Hunt before it, Warner Bros will be responsible for the distribution and promotion of Cyberpunk 2077 in North America. Obviously getting games into store shelves takes a lot of effort and manpower, and Polish developer CD Projekt Red will be entrusting that task to the experts at the...
Talking Point Is Astro Bot the Mascot of the PS4 Era?
The face of the format
Unlike its competition, Sony’s never really had an official mascot. While you associate the likes of Super Mario and Master Chief with Nintendo and Xbox respectively, PlayStation’s had a rotating cast of key heroes, from Crash Bandicoot right the way through to Nathan Drake. But which character best encapsulates the...
News Xenon Racer Brings 90s Arcade Goodness to PS4
Need for speed
Isn’t it interesting how the bottom has effectively fallen out of the arcade racing market so smaller studios have started to pick up the slack? Enter a new game called Xenon Racer, which effectively looks like it’s stepped straight out of a 90s Club SEGA arcade. The title’s being published by SEODESCO and developed by...
News You Can Buy a PSVR Headset with Two of Its Best Games
Platforming bliss
The enthusiasm for Astro Bot Rescue Mission may have pushed you over the edge and convinced you to purchase PlayStation VR, but what’s the best bundle to buy? Well if you really want some platforming joy to go along with your new investment, there’s a new package featuring a headset, PlayStation Camera, and two games: Japan...
News Darksiders III Turns Fury Purple for Force Trailer
Purple pain
Darksiders III heroine Fury has turned a shade of purple for this new trailer, as publisher THQ Nordic begins to introduce the various forms of the apocalyptic horsewoman. “Fury’s form evolves throughout the game and with it, her powers and weaponry,” the press release reads. “Her so-called Hollows are powers bestowed upon her by...
News NPD Reveals PSVR's Best Sellers in the US So Far
What do you reckon is number one?
We rarely get sales data specifically for PlayStation VR, so this tidbit courtesy of the NPD Group is interesting for the handful of you that care. It shows the top five best-selling titles in the United States which require Sony’s headset, meaning the likes of Resident Evil 7 are excluded. The games are ranked...
News Hitman 2 Reveals the Tools of the Trade
Duck decoy
You can play Hitman 2 pretty much any way you like, but the series is always at its most fun when you get creative – as this new trailer illustrates. While it doesn’t really reveal much that fans won’t already know, it’s a good reminder for newcomers that you can assassinate unsuspecting targets with items like, y’know, rubber...
Every PlayStation VR must have
PlayStation VR has been going strong for a couple of years now, and it’s amassed a surprisingly impressive selection of software in that time. Of course, with new fans entering the virtual reality realm for the first time every single day, we figured that we’d compile a list of the best PSVR games to date. These...
