Geth a load of this

Sackboy really is the ultimate cross-marketing opportunity, isn’t he? Sony has teamed up with EA to bring some brand new outfits based on the Mass Effect series to LittleBigPlanet – and the results are unsurprisingly adorable. The image above shows Wrex, Garrus, Liara, and, of course, Commander Shepard – the problem is,...

Guess where it pops up?

Sony's no stranger to tasteful digs at its rivals – but its latest batch of banner advertisements are the best timed yet. With the next Xbox reveal right around the corner, the platform holder has opted to ride on the coattails of the system's imminent hype, taking out promotional links on Google

Catching eyes

Arguably the most exciting element of a major hardware launch are the minor details that accompany it: the startup sequence, the user interface, and the boxes. Sony’s yet to confirm exactly what form the PlayStation 4’s cases will adopt, but in traditional fashion, graphic designers around the globe have been making some exciting...

All important mindshare

We’ve been pondering exactly how Sony would attempt to steal some of the attention away from the next Xbox’s announcement for a while now, and it answered that question emphatically earlier today. This afternoon’s teaser trailer was not pa

Full reveal at E3

How do you stop Microsoft from totally dominating the next generation conversation? You release a teaser trailer like the one embedded below mere hours before the next Xbox is set to be revealed. The footage primarily focuses on a blurry, black box, but includes some brief glimpses at the corners of the system and a vent. The...

Team survival

There’s less than a month until The Last of Us stumbles onto store shelves, and while developer Naughty Dog has been quite forthcoming with the game’s single player campaign, it still hasn’t said anything about multiplayer. That’s set to change imminently, but while the developer is keeping a lid on the competitive extra for a...

Branching out

There’s no smoke without fire, and everything that we’ve heard about inFAMOUS: Second Son’s new protagonist Delsin Rowe has supported that point. However, while developer Sucker Punch has led us to believe that the 20-something star will primarily take advantage of smouldering superpowers, according to Game Informer magazine,...

Decided to move on, though

Insomniac Games considered making Resistance 4, but decided to try something new instead. The sequel – which presumably would have deployed on the PlayStation 4 – was a key topic of conversation at the Burbank-based outfit after the completion of Resistance 3, but the developer ultimately decided to head in a...

Va va voom

If this week’s Gran Turismo 6 announcement didn’t shift your gears, then perhaps this extended trailer will do the job. The footage shows off a number of different vehicles racing around various circuits, including the newly added Silverstone. Just in case you think that it’s sacrilegious to view Polyphony Digital’s work in...

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...

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...

Ear candy

The Last of Us is not only shaping up to be a feast for the eyes, but also for the ears. Naughty Dog has continued its behind-the-scenes mini-series, this time pointing its camera at legendary composer Gustavo Santaolalla. In the video, the musician talks a little about his guitar teacher quitting when he was just a child – not because...

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...

Sony moves release date forwards

Launching alongside Grand Theft Auto V was never going to do Killzone: Mercenary any favours – and Sony has acknowledged that by moving the PlayStation Vita exclusive’s release date forwards. The title will now deploy on 4th September in Europe and 10th September in North America. It makes a change for Europe...

Deadlocked and loaded

It looks like the complications surrounding the PlayStation Vita version of Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault have finally come to a conclusion, as Insomniac Games has confirmed that the handheld version of the title will be available from 21st May in North America and 22nd May in Europe. Assuming that you purchased the...

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...

What sorcery is this?

Remember how Sony touted the ability to play games while they’re downloading as one of the PlayStation 4’s biggest new features? Well, the impending The Last of Us will totally do that on the platform holder’s current console. Naughty Dog told Game Informer that while you’ll h

Just the two of us

We hope that you cope well in a crisis, because you’re going to need nerves of steel in order to navigate The Last of Us’ nightmarish vision of the future. A near-final build of the hotly anticipated PlayStation 3 exclusive demonstrates just how developer Naughty Dog intends to masterfully turn up the tension, as a slow...

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...
