  • Feature Days Gone - Why Sony Bend's PS4 Open Worlder Is Essential a Year Later

    The art of support

    Days Gone and Death Stranding are proof that 2019 was a divisive year for PlayStation 4 exclusives.

Sony Bend's first project on home consoles...

  • Guide How to Enable PS4 Pro Boost Mode

    Unleash the beast

    How do you enable PS4 Pro's Boost Mode feature?

  • Review MotoGP 20 - Another Exciting Ride, If You Can Handle It

    A tricky balancing act

    Milestone has made a name for itself as the de facto developer of motorbike racing games. If you trace it back, the Italian studio has been crafting this niche subset of racers for about 20 years. To say it has experience with two-wheeled motorsport would be a grave understatement. However, despite its expertise and dedication...

  • Feature Which Studios Could Sony Realistically Acquire?

    Expanding the exclusive output

    While it’s never made quite the same song and dance about it as Microsoft has in recent years, Sony’s history is peppered with developer acquisitions designed to strengthen its first-party portfolio. It purchased Dutch developer Guerrilla Games in 2004 and long-time partner Sucker Punch in 2011. In the same general...

  • News PS5 DualSense Controller Could Be 'One of the Best in History'

  • Rumour Watch Dogs Legion Will Be a PS5 Launch Game

    Set to "debut" with next-gen consoles

    Watch Dogs Legion was originally scheduled to release on the 6th March 2020. Kind of weird to think about, isn't it?

  • Soapbox I Want Better Levels on PS5, Not Bigger Worlds

    Size doesn't matter

In the opening objective Dam, for example, you could...

  • News Is Classic Far Cry 3 Villain Vaas Teasing His Return?

    "My spirit animal"

    The Far Cry franchise doesn't exactly do memorable moments or characters.

  • News UK Sales Charts: Call of Duty Kicks Final Fantasy VII Remake Off the Podium

    At ease, soldier

    It was hardly a surprise, but Final Fantasy VII Remake dominated the physical UK chart last week.

  • Reaction DualSense Reveals Sony's Unrivalled Ambition for PS5

    Going further

    You could forgive Sony for offering more of the same with the PlayStation 5 – after all, its current generation console is one of the most successful platforms of all time.

  • News Could Astro Bot Be An Early PS5 Star?

    Platfoming mascot planning PS5 comeback

    One of our first thoughts when the DualSense controller was revealed this week was Astro Bot.

A real Game of the Year candidate like PlayStation...
