News Here's What Diablo III's PS4 Pro Support Does
The devil's in the details
The tech heads over at Digital Foundry are at it again, this time examining Diablo III's latest PlayStation 4 update, which provides PS4 Pro support. Given that the official patch notes don't actually mention what kind of support to expect, the publication's latest video proves to be a handy guide. The big talking point...
Preview Everything We Know About Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy on PS4
Crash-tastic
It's not getting brandished around quite like The Last of Us: Part II or Horizon: Zero Dawn, but make no mistake, Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy is going to be a big seller on the PlayStation 4. And with that in mind, we figured that we'd put together a video previewing the forthcoming compilation. This clip outlines everything that...
News PS4 Exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn's Marketing Onslaught Has Started
Earth is ours no more
Sony sees Horizon: Zero Dawn as its next major first-party franchise, and so it's started work advertising the PlayStation 4 exclusive alongside the onset of the New Year. This commercial aired during the PlayStation-sponsored Fiesta Bowl overnight, and is a fairly well executed riff on the 2017 celebrations. Expect this game...
News Fill Your Festive Holiday with New NieR Automata PS4 Gameplay
So NieR, so far
No one really knows how to pronounce the name of the subtitle yet, but the anticipation surrounding NieR Automata is proof positive of what a good demo can do. While the game had its fans a few weeks ago, it seems like everyone is now on board with this Platinum Games developed action role-playing release – we even described it as...
Video Watch Gravity Rush The Animation: Overture for Free Here
Meow
As promised prior to the Christmas break, Sony has released Gravity Rush The Animation: Overture for free on its YouTube channel. The anime – produced by Studio Khara – promises to bridge the gap between the first game and its soon-to-be-released sequel, and runs for a good 20 minutes, so pour yourself a glass of something nice and sit...
News Supergirl Smashes Faces in Injustice 2 on PS4
Krypton-fight
It's been a little while since we heard anything about Injustice 2, so we're probably due this update to be frank. IGN has uploaded a video centring on the moves and abilities of Supergirl, a so-called "Jill of all trades" character with ice breath and the ability to fly close to the sun. We're still not sure about the art direction in...
News Sony Looks Back on a Stellar Year for PS4 with Snazzy Sizzle Trailer
Greatness arrives
Terrible song choice, but there's some great video editing in PlayStation Europe's latest sizzle trailer. This one looks back on what has been a landmark year for the popular gaming brand, showing dozens upon dozens of games, as well as new hardware initiatives like PlayStation VR and the PlayStation 4 Pro. It's certainly been a...
Video Lethal VR on PS4 Is Less Point Blank and More Point W*nk
Burn out
In a way, we kinda feel sorry for Three Fields Entertainment. The teensy indie start-up carries the burden of being "the Burnout guys", which means that expectations are raised every time it so much as farts. Of course, exposure is no bad thing for a team with about three employees to its name, but it also means the disappointment is all...
News SEGA's Having Fun with Yakuza 0's Promotional Trailers
Business card battles
What in the world is this? SEGA's released probably the stupidest video in the history of the company – and yes, we've seen those old Japanese Sonic the Hedgehog ads. This clip is designed to promote Yakuza 0's Business Edition, which can be yours if you pre-order the title in North America ahead of its January launch. The...
News Ace Combat 7's Looking Top Gun on PlayStation VR
Turn and burn
Judging by the PSX 2016 trailer, Ace Combat 7 is going to be, well, ace – but it's nice to finally get a glimpse at the impending sequel's PlayStation VR mode. Unfortunately, this is separate to the main campaign, and will have its own standalone side-story and missions – but it's looking really good in this six or so minute...
News Persona 5 Still Looks Superb in 7 Minutes of English PS4 Gameplay
The wait gets harder
Persona 5 is still looking bloody brilliant then, judging by this fresh PlayStation 4 gameplay from PlayStation Access. The channel's caught seven minutes of spoiler-free footage as the Phantom Thieves make their way through an early dungeon. Seeing the combat system completely uncut has made us realise just how slick the whole...
News PlayStation's Christmas Video Sees Santa Scrap His Deliveries to Try PSVR
Bad influence
PlayStation's plopped out a daft Christmas video to celebrate the holidays over on its YouTube channel. In it, we see good old Saint Nick shimmy down someone's chimney only to shake his head at the meagre offering of a mince pie and a carrot. Sick of the same shite year in, year out, he decides that something has to change - so he...
News Yes, Nex Machina Looks Like a Housemarque Game
You can't really beat Housemarque, can you? They may trade primarily in dual-joystick shooters, but they've pretty much perfected the formula. It won't come as much of a surprise that Nex Machina, the latest title from the Finnish firm developed in collaboration with industry legend Eugene Jarvis, looks absolutely awesome, then. Complete with...
News Nioh Looks Really Bloody Good in New PS4 Pro Gameplay
Nioh yeah
An upcoming release that just looks better and better every time that we see it, Nioh sparkles in this new gameplay from PlayStation Access. As mentioned in the video, the footage is taken from a developer's foray into the brutal action title, so there are no awkward moments and no piddling about - just plenty of action and exploration...
News Here's 4 Minutes of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Gameplay
Taken for a spin
We've all seen the announcement trailer, but now it's time for some proper gameplay clips of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. PlayStation's published a four minute video for the upcoming remastered collection, and it's made up of nothing but our favourite bandicoot smashing through crates and precariously leaping over hazards. Oh...
News Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Is a Gigantic Graphical Jump Ahead of the Original Games
A generational leap, you might say
We already know that Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy looks great. When the PlayStation 4 package was shown off during the PlayStation Experience last week, it actually looked way better than we ever thought it would - and that's because developer Vicarious Visions is rebuilding most of it from the ground up...
News The Last Guardian's Quirky UK Ad Is Worth a Watch
Can't tame the beast
There's no gameplay clips and no actual footage of the big cat-bird-dog thing that is Trico, but we still find this quirky UK advert for The Last Guardian quite endearing. It's a bit twee, we suppose, but that's part of the appeal - even if it does make us think twice about getting Sammy one of these things for Christmas...
Video PS4's Star Wars Battlefront Rogue One: X-Wing VR Mission Is Ace
Space ace
It's a mouthful. There are way too many syllables in Star Wars Battlefront Rogue One: X-Wing VR Mission, but fortunately this collaboration between Criterion (remember them?) and DICE is well worth downloading if you have a copy of the base game and a PlayStation VR headset lying around. It only lasts about 20 minutes, but it's comfortably...
Video Watch the First 15 Minutes of The Last Guardian on PS4 Pro
Bird brain
As you may be expecting, The Last Guardian throws you in at the deep end of the pool, and doesn't really care to hold your hand. We wanted to capture some gameplay footage to share with you, but didn't really want to spoil any of the late-game puzzles or environments. So this 15 minutes is taken from near to the very beginning of the...
PSX 2016 Naughty Dog Spills Loads of Details on Uncharted 4: Survival
Find some cover
Uncharted 4: Survival is Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's long awaited co-op component, and it's releasing later this month on PlayStation 4. Announced in November, Survival will have its own suite of modes, progression systems, and unlocks - it even has bosses in the form of undead pirates. It's also worth mentioning that Survival isn't...
News What the Hell Is This Final Fantasy XV Cup Noodle Advert?
See it to believe it
Final Fantasy XV features quite a lot of sponsored stuff just sitting around in its game world, from edible items to real life camping equipment - and hey, we get it, games like this need a lot of money to make things work. However, when you start splicing giant Cup Noodles into cinematic trailers, we reckon that you have to...
PSX 2016 Crash Bandicoot PS4 Trilogy Considered a 'AAA Remaster' by Dev
Spin to win
Having appeared at Sony's PlayStation Experience 2016 showcase over the weekend, it's safe to say that one of PlayStation's original mascots is back with a bang. Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy looked even better than we had hoped it would in its very first gameplay trailer, which prompted us to say that the current-gen package looks...
News WipEout Omega Collection Looks 4King Unreal on PS4 Pro
Beam it into your Asseg-eyes
You know you've put together a strong press conference when something like WipEout Omega Collection – a jaw dropping reveal under ordinary circumstances – doesn't even feel like the main draw. But make no mistake: Sony XDev Europe's compilation of classic anti-grav racing tracks is looking like a real treat –...
News Resident Evil 7 PS4 Gameplay Reveals a Different Direction
Revived?
Resident Evil has been a little lost for a while now. While there have been decent entries like Resident Evil Revelations 2, the main series has been on a sharp decline since Resident Evil 5. Resident Evil 7 simply had to try something different, then, and while this gameplay footage captured by Eurogam
News Watch Shu Yoshida Unbox The Last Guardian's Collector's Edition
Cat nip
It's a monumental moment in PlayStation history, so it's only appropriate that Shuhei Yoshida should be involved in the official unboxing video of The Last Guardian's collector's edition. The title, which leaked a short time after this website's inception, has been in production for eons now, but finally launches next month.
Video Taking Final Fantasy XV For a Spin on PS4 Pro
Finally
Well would you look at that, we're actually playing Final Fantasy XV. Not a hastily built demo, not some weird tech showcase, but the finished game. Join us for a healthy mix of exploration, combat, and heartwarming friendship as we put the blockbuster through its paces on the PS4 Pro.
News How Well Does Final Fantasy XV Run on PS4 and PS4 Pro?
Pretty well, actually
Phew, it turns out that Final Fantasy XV isn't the technical mess that many feared it could be. Both the Episode Duscae demo and the Platinum Demo suffered from shaky frame rates, leading many to wonder whether the final product would be able to hold strong at a smooth 30 frames-per-second. Thankfully, as explored by the tech...
Guide How to Build Bases in No Man's Sky
Home sweet home
No Man's Sky has received an enormous patch named the Foundation Update, which incorporates the ability to build bases. Unfortunately, like so much of Hello Games' divisive hit, it's not immediately obvious what you have to do to create your own intergalactic home. But we come with tips. Basically, you're going to want to fly around...
Video Is NBA 2KVR Experience on PS4 a Slam Dunk?
Basket case
There are times in this industry where the press junket building up to a release is overblown – just take a look at The Last Guardian and Final Fantasy XV, for example – but NBA 2KVR Experience has gone in the opposite direction. Leaked on Trophy websites over the weekend, the 2K Sports published spin-off is out today – but is it...
Video Wrapping Up Warm with the Steep Open Beta on PS4
White powder
We genuinely haven't heard a peep from Steep since E3 2016 earlier in the year, but apparently it's still on course for a 2nd December release. And lending credence to that is the open beta, which Ubisoft launched on the PlayStation 4 this week. Given that there's been so little press of this game, we thought that we'd slip our gloves...
Live Watch the Golden Joystick Awards Right Here
On gong
It's the gaming awards show season, with the Golden Joysticks first up. Game of the Year nominations for the annual British ceremony include INSIDE, The Witness, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, and… No Man's Sky? You can watch the full presentation live from London via the embed above.
News Final Fantasy XV May Be the Best Example of HDR on PS4 Pro
HDR yeah
Jeez, Digital Foundry are busy these days, aren't they? The tech-head publication is back with another PS4 Pro analysis, this time putting Final Fantasy XV's most recent Japanese demo through its paces. Our very own Sammy Barker gave the demo a spin just last week, and came away impressed with how good it looks - but it's actually the HDR...
News Add Ratchet & Clank to the List of Rock Solid PS4 Pro Titles
Clank it up
Digital Foundry's back with another tech analysis, this time taking a look at Ratchet & Clank - arguably one of the PlayStation 4's most polished titles. Given how pretty the game looks to begin with, we would have assumed that the release wouldn't benefit from the additional power of the recently released PS4 Pro to any large...
Video Unmasking Dishonored 2's PS4 Collector's Edition
Corvo, blimey
Unboxing time! Dishonored 2 feels like it's come and gone with nary a whimper – but it's really good. And its Collector's Edition is equally attractive, as we uncover in this unboxing video. Blink your way into the Push Square Towers yard, and take a look above.
Video The Martian VR Experience Lets You Become Matt Damon
Mars rover
As we parroted at launch, PlayStation VR is about so much more than games. Proving that, the Fox Innovation Lab has lined up The Martian VR Experience, which will launch on the PlayStation 4 this week. Based upon last year's movie of the same name – itself inspired by Andy Weir's novel – the interactive short has been executive...
Video Sneak Up on Some Dishonored 2 PS4 Pro Gameplay
Stabbed in the back
Dishonored 2 has remained true to its stealth origins, sneaking into stores with barely a whimper. But, as is to be expected, the title's already wooing critics with its complex gameplay and unique environmental design. You can check out an hour or so of archived gameplay courtesy of our livestream above.
Video Do Final Fantasy XV's Opening Moments Deliver?
Stand by me
Here we are then: Final Fantasy XV's received its 421st demo. While we've covered previous instalments, this is actually your humble host's first time playing the title. So does the Japan-only Judgment Disc – which spans the first hour or so of the release – deliver? Let's talk about the production values first: this is an...
Feature PS4 Has Plenty for Families This Christmas
All together now
It's not often you get a chance to really study how families play games. This week I got to do just that with the help of Sony. We took a PlayStation 4 and some top picks for family games into a real family with four boys. From the games we tried a bunch came out on top, but as much as the specifics of what worked and what didn't,...
News Want to Know What Your PS4 Pro Looks Like Inside?
Hot stuff
Want to see your PlayStation 4 Pro without its clothes? Of course you do – you're not the only one who's been fantasising about it. Fortunately, the folks at Virtual Future TV have done the hard work so that you don't have to. In the 15 minute video embedded above, a gloved technician takes the console to bits, revealing all of its juicy...
Video Can PS4 Pro Bring Knack Back from the Brink?
Cerny not
Sony's support for the PlayStation 4 Pro can be described as "scattershot" at best. It's one of the system's biggest shortcomings right now; while games undoubtedly look and run better on the brand new box, not enough titles take advantage of it yet. This will change as we lurch into 2017 and support becomes mandatory, but right now, it's...
Video Spreading Our Wings with Beautiful PlayStation VR Title Eagle Flight
Bird brain
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away.I don't know where my soul is... I don't know where my home is... How many other PlayStation websites are quoting early-noughties Nelly Furtado songs in their Eagle Flight coverage? The answer is zero. (We hope.) Anyway, this Assassin's Creed-themed bird simulator makes a brilliant first impression. It...
News Street Fighter V's New Stage Takes Off Today
Plane and simple
Capcom's continuing to plug away at Street Fighter V, despite the fighter failing to significantly grow its player base since launch. Today a new stage will be released, which takes place on the wings of a plane. The level – named Skies of Honor – can be seen demonstrated in the video embedded above. We're not convinced that...
Video Rise of the Tomb Raider Does PS4 Pro Graphics Options Right
Quite Crofty
Who'd have thought that PlayStation 4 black sheep Rise of the Tomb Raider would become the best example of graphical options on the PS4 Pro? The game – which allows you to select from three very distinct modes – not only caters to 4K television owners with a stunning Ultra High-Definition version, but also includes two 1080p toggles...
Video Does Gran Turismo Sport Look Better on PlayStation VR Than DriveClub?
Yes, it does – on PS4 Pro, anyway
Evolution Studios clearly worked incredibly hard on DriveClub VR, but the results are… Not great. The defunct developer did a great job shoehorning the entire original onto PlayStation VR, but the headset just couldn't match the studio's ambition, balancing crystal clear dashboards against blurry circuits. It's...
Video Robinson: The Journey Walks with Dinosaurs on PlayStation VR
PS4 Pro footage of Crytek's prehistoric campaign
Wow, this is a looker! If you've been disappointed with the visual fidelity of PlayStation VR games, then Robinson: The Journey may just change your perception – especially when played on the PlayStation 4 Pro. The thick foliage and cavernous cliff-faces make for an immersive experience – and...
Video inFAMOUS: Second Son Lets You Pick Resolution or Framerate on PS4 Pro
Smokin'
While most of the games patched for the PlayStation 4 Pro focus on offering better resolutions, inFAMOUS: Second Son is one such title that lets you toggle between image quality and framerate. In this video, we show how Sucker Punch's popular PS4 exclusive is able to run at a near-locked 60 frames-per-second on Sony's supercharged hardware,...
Video PS4 Pro Is the Quietest PlayStation 4 to Date
Oh so quiet
A lot of people have been asking questions regarding the volume of the fan noise in the PlayStation 4 Pro, and we're happy to report that it's the quietest console in the range that Sony's released thus far. We obviously have to temper this observation by pointing out that we've only been using the console for a few days, and things...
Video Watch Off-Screen Footage of PS4 Pro in Action
What's up, Pro?
You can't really show PlayStation 4 Pro off convincingly on a 1080p camera without HDR; Sony learned this the hard way at the console's reveal event. Still, we got to shoot some off-screen footage of several games taking advantage of the Japanese giant's new hardware, and you can see the results in the video embedded above.
Video Let's Unbox the PS4 Pro, Shall We?
Oh go on then
We've got the PlayStation 4 Pro, though we can't say much about it until tomorrow. Then again, we did just put together a massive impressions piece, so maybe check that out while you wait. In the meantime, we are very much allowed to show you what's inside the packaging, so please enjoy this unboxing clip. Such original content, eh?
Feature Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare's Free PlayStation VR Mode Is Worth the Bandwidth
Do a barrel roll
This is a nice touch from Activision: everyone can download Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare's free Jackal Assault Experience virtual reality demo from the PlayStation Store now. There's no catch either; you don't need a pre-order or a Call of Duty game in your disc drive – it's scary that we have to clarify these things, but that's...
