  • Poll Are You Sold on Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart?

    Dimensional shift

    Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart got an extended gameplay demonstration last night, as part of Sony's latest State of Play broadcast.

Our point is that it was an incredibly...

    Or do you want something else?

    PlayedStation

    Ah, the Console Wars. Although they don't exist in the raw form that many would like to perceive, there's no getting away from that fact that companies like Sony and Microsoft are competing with one another. And right here in April 2021, five months removed from the PlayStation 5's launch, PlayStation and Xbox are going head-to-head...

  • Poll Which Bethesda Franchise Will PS5 Miss the Most?

    The elder woes

    Yes, there’s some ongoing ambiguity in Microsoft’s wording, but many PlayStation fans probably find themselves trapped in the first stage of grief: denial. Phil Spencer and his cohorts could probably still be a little clearer, but the writing is on the wall: once Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo release, outside of ongoing service...

  • Poll Have You Played Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and What Review Score Would You Give It?

    Enter the dragon

    Yakuza: Like a Dragon finally launched on PlayStation 5 earlier this week, following the end of an Xbox exclusivity period on next-gen hardware. The often insane RPG runs better than ever on Sony's new system, and even though we had already played it to death on PS4, we've been enjoying it all over again on PS5. At its best, we...

  • Poll Do You Have a PS5?

    Or are you still looking?

    It's been over two months since Sony's super-fast megalith of a current-gen console hit store shelves. The PS5 has gone on to break sales records and play host to a number of top-tier launch titles, but with consumer demand for the system still sky high, actually getting your hands on the black and white beast can be...

    The state of State of Play

    Sony's State of Play broadcasts have become a real highlight of recent times — especially since the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has put an end to many live gaming events.

  • Poll What Was the Best PS4 First-Party Exclusive of the Generation?

    The best of the best

    The PlayStation 4 generation is effectively over and done with. As highlighted in our recent feature questioning whether the console is worth purchasing this year (Is It Worth Buying a PS4 in 2021?), many games are still slated for Sony's last-gen system, but the industry has turned its attention to the all-new PlayStation 5...

  • Poll Did You Request a Cyberpunk 2077 Refund on PS5, PS4?

    Reclaiming your Eddies

    In a crazy year like 2020, we probably should have expected Cyberpunk 2077’s utter implosion – but it’s still taken us by surprise, we must admit. If the state of the game wasn’t already shocking enough, we’re still reeling from Sony’s decision to remove the role-playing release from the PS Store. It’s just an...

  • Poll Is Cyberpunk 2077's Poor PS4 Performance Acceptable?

    Just as expected?

    Cyberpunk 2077 is finally here, and well... It hasn't been a smooth launch. Following on from PC-based coverage earlier this week, which highlighted rampant bugs and other technical issues, it turns out that the game's also a bit of a mess on consoles. To be more specific, Cyberpunk 2077 is rough on PS4 (and PS4 Pro, to a lesser...

  • Poll Are You Buying Cyberpunk 2077?

    Hello Night City

    Can you believe that Cyberpunk 2077 is actually out this Thursday? No, we're being serious — it's finally happening. Unless Earth gets hit by an asteroid or something, which at this point wouldn't surprise us in the slightest. Cyberpunk 2077 is arguably the biggest game of 2020 — one of the biggest games of the entire...

  • Poll Do You Actually Play Your PS Plus Games?

    Add to library

    Month in, month out, we all sit here and react to the new PlayStation Plus games. Sometimes they're really good, sometimes they're frustratingly bad.

December's...

  • Poll What's Your Favourite PS5 Launch Game?

    A lot to choose from

    The PS5 has been out for more than a week now here in Europe — it's been a whole two weeks of next-gen gaming in the US — and we reckon that Sony's new system has enjoyed one of the best console launch lineups ever. Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Demon's Souls lead the charge, but let's not forget about solid third...

  • Poll Have You Experienced PS5 Coil Whine?

    Whirred and wonderful

    PS5 coil whine has been perhaps the biggest complaint of next-gen early adopters. While Sony’s new console is undoubtedly quieter than its PlayStation 4 range, some users are reporting an irritating whistling sound when playing graphically intensive games, like Demon’s Souls. This can range from a whining to a buzzing to a...

  • Poll Did You Get a PS5?

    Next-gen is here

    After what's felt like a long and winding week of waiting, the PS5 has finally launched in Europe. And so, for this weekend's poll, we're going with the most obvious question: do you have a PS5? If you do, by the way, you should check out All Our PlayStation 5 Coverage. Whether you pre-ordered it months ago or somehow managed to...

  • Poll What PS5 Launch Games Will You Buy?

    Building the list

    At the time of writing, we are exactly 10 days away from the launch of the PlayStation 5 (add an extra week on if you're unlucky like us).

  • Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for November 2020?

    Plus or minus?

    November 2020's PlayStation Plus games have been announced, and it's a bit of a bumper month for the subscription service.

That's right, the one and only Bugsnax debuts alongside Middle-earth: Shadow of War and Hollow...

  • Poll What Do You Think of the PS5 UI?

    What's your favourite feature?

    Sony has revealed the PS5 user interface, with an in-depth video demonstration giving us a pretty good idea of how the next-gen system will operate.

  • Poll How Often Will You Use PS5 Backwards Compatibility?

    Flashback or flashforward

  • Poll What's Your New PlayStation Trophy Level?

    Level up

    Sony’s made the first meaningful change to Trophies since the system was introduced on the PlayStation 3, altering the way level progress is calculated in order to make it feel more rewarding.

  • Poll Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for October 2020?

    Plus or minus?

    October's PlayStation Plus games have been announced, and, well... The reaction hasn't been brilliant. For starters, we've got Vampyr. By most accounts it's a decent game (we gave it a 6/10), but it's the kind of semi-forgotten title that you'd expect alongside a blockbuster. Except there is no blockbuster — there's only Need for...

  • Poll Which Peter Parker Face Do You Prefer in Marvel's Spider-Man?

    Original, or Remastered?

    When Insomniac Games said that Peter Parker's model would be updated in Marvel's Spider-Man: Remastered on PS5, we didn't think that the nerdy protagonist would be getting an entirely new face — but here we are. A quick and easy poll for you, then: which Peter Parker face do you prefer? There's no doubt that the new face...

  • Talking Point Are You Worried About the Future of Western RPGs on PS5?

    A new era

    With Microsoft's acquisition of ZeniMax Media, and therefore Bethesda Game Studios, the PS5 has potentially lost out on a Western RPG powerhouse. Now that Bethesda joins inXile and Obsidian Entertainment under the Xbox Game Studios umbrella, the team in green has established something of a genre monopoly. Granted, it's going to be a while...

  • Poll Has Xbox's Bethesda Buyout Made You Reconsider a PS5 Purchase?

    Fus Ro Damn

    Unless you've been living under a rock for the past couple of days, you'll know that Microsoft has purchased Zenimax Media and all of its studios for a whopping $7.5 billion. They now belong under the Xbox Game Studios umbrella and so the release of future Bethesda titles on PlayStation 5 is no longer a sure-fire thing. Microsoft suit...

  • Poll Did You Buy a PlayStation at Launch 25 Years Ago?

    Were you there on day one?

    The original PlayStation celebrates its 25th anniversary today in the US, and later this month in Europe. That's right, it's been 25 years since the PlayStation launched here in the West.

  • Poll Did You Buy Marvel's Avengers?

    Assemble

    Marvel's Avengers is out now on PlayStation 4, but do you plan on buying a copy? We still remember the game's official reveal at E3 2019.

    Price? Release date? Launch games?

    It feels like an age has passed since the PlayStation 5 was revealed. We're all sitting here hungry to hear more, but Sony's been silent on its next-gen plans ever since the big event in the middle of June. The Japanese giant still has so much to information to share. We don't have a price. We don't have a release...

  • Poll When Will You Buy a PS5?

    The time factor

    Deciding when to pull the trigger on purchasing a PlayStation 5 will be an important factor for many.

  • Poll Did You Get Free PlayStation Store Credit from Sony?

    PlayStation Plus plus

    Late last week, Sony started sending out free PlayStation Store credit to PlayStation Plus subscribers.

However, not everyone was lucky enough...

More big PlayStation 4 games are on their way, and not to mention the PlayStation 5 launch, and so we wanted to take a quick look back at what...

  • Poll Would You Still Pay for PS Plus if Online Multiplayer Was Free Elsewhere?

    Paradigm shift

    There are intensifying rumours that Microsoft is planning to scrap the multiplayer paywall on its Xbox consoles, meaning that you wouldn’t need to pay a subscription fee to play online.

  • Poll Would You Pay $70 for a Brand New PS5 Game?

    Making the investment

    Over the past week or so, the price of games has once again become a major topic of discussion. Sparked by the next-gen NBA 2K21, the basketball simulator plans to charge its users $69.99 for a copy of the game on PlayStation 5.

  • Poll Which Version of the PS5 Do You Plan to Buy?

    To physical or not to physical

    That there are two versions of the PlayStation 5 came as a bit of a shock, and it’s something we haven’t really discussed yet.

  • Poll What Is Your Preferred Game Length?

    Finding the sweet spot

    What is your preferred game length?

    Well that was a bit of a wild ride, wasn't it? First Marvel's Spider-Man was rumoured to be a PlayStation Plus game for June, but as we warned, the speculation was based on a known PlayStation Store bug, and it came to nothing.

    Following Microsoft's Xbox Series X stream, in which it promised a first look at next-gen gameplay, a discussion surrounding trailers has erupted.
