Single screenshot accelerates into sight

The floodgates have well and truly opened. Following last night’s Xbox One reveal, publishers are scrambling to announce their games – not just for Microsoft’s machine, but for Sony’s too. The new Need for Speed is the latest title to sort of join the party. The above screenshot popped up on the...

We've got no idea what it is, though

Japan Studio is on fire. After years of deflecting questions pertaining to The Last Guardian and twiddling its thumbs, the Eastern outfit has actually decided to start making some games again. It’s already released the brilliant Soul Sacrifice this year, and still has both Puppeteer and Knack in the pipeline...

And it's not an indie game

Shahid Kamal Ahmad clearly saw the poll results to our PlayStation Vita reaction article overnight. The senior business development manager at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe – who spends more time on Twitter than he does asleep – is responsible for a number of the indie games coming to the system, but he’s also...

Ghost in the machine

There’s no question that Call of Duty: Ghosts is a real thing now. Activision has updated the series’ official website, including a mysterious teaser image which resembles a phantom-like face. Cleverly, the picture is made up of hundreds of smaller icons, submitted by users to the page. You can link up your Facebook or...

Watching your every move

Ubisoft could be about to broadcast a brand new batch of Watch Dogs b-roll, if a teaser uploaded to the title’s Twitter page is to be believed.

Zwei to go

Publisher planning a barrage of information

EA Games will blow Battlefield 4’s doors wide open on 26th March in San Francisco. The publisher has sent out a slew of official invites to North American outlets, confirming the impending reveal of the first-person shooter. A similar ‘Save the Date’ invite teased the title’s announcement last...

Acquire title to be revealed next week

Criminally underrated PlayStation Network arcade puzzler The Last Guy could be plotting a path onto the PlayStation Vita, if a new teaser website set up by Japanese developer Acquire is to be believed. The page – which includes Google Map-esque backgrounds similar to those employed by the aforementioned PSN...

You definitely asked for it

We thought Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima was the master of the countdown clock, but he may just need to renounce his crown. It turns out that there’s a new contender to the teaser throne, and it belongs to Coconut Dodge developer FuturLab. Not content with dropping hints in press releases, launching s

Rule breaker

Teaser websites are typically reserved for the hubbub of E3, but Brink developer Splash Damage clearly couldn’t contain its excitement until summer. The company has uploaded a specially prepared countdown page pointing to 11:29AM on the 29th November. It’s unclear what the studio’s working on, but we’re eager to read your...

Detective time

Where’s ex-editor James Newton when you need him? SEGA's released a brand new teaser trailer that’s had everyone in the Push Square office stumped. The cryptic short – entitled 2 x 5 – features lots of screaming and the sound of Sonic losing rings. If you listen carefully, you’ll also spot the “Get Ready” voice sample...

What could it be?

Give credit to Team Ninja for at least attempting to inject some life into the Tokyo Game Show’s non-existent build up. The Ninja Gaiden developer has confirmed that it will be revealing its latest project at the Japanese convention later this week. Team Ninja is currently gearing up for the release of Dead or Alive 5, which is...

Place your bets now

We worried that Sony’s software splurge at GamesCom would keep its Tokyo Game Show surprises to a bare minimum, but it turns out we were sorely mistaken. According to the latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation Magazine, the platform holder is planning to reveal a slew of new titles during the Japan-centric show. Unfortunately,...

It’s not entirely clear what the Japanese publisher is...

T'Soni a few hours to wait

Announcements of announcements – how do you like them? Publisher EA Games doesn’t care, as it’s promised to show something Mass Effect 3 related during its Summer Showcase event later today. What is it? We don’t know. The likeliest candidate is a new piece of single-player DLC, but we suppose anything’s...

Dream catcher

SEGA is teasing something to do with classic on-rails flying title NiGHTS into Dreams. The publisher uploaded an image of an industrial-like setting on its Facebook page earlier today, which fans have noted looks an awful lot like Stick Canyon from the original SEGA Saturn game. There’s some discussion that this could be related to...

Look sharp

We’re on the cusp of E3 now; the madness is less than a week away from transpiring. As such, publishers are opting to fill the time with cryptic teases of major announcements they’re not quite ready to share yet. First out of the blocks is Square Enix with this playful Hitman: Absolution image. You know it’s a tease because, well,...
