Smash hit
As the first dedicated tennis game on the PlayStation 4, there’s no doubt that AO International Tennis was a huge disappointment. But developer Big Ant has had plenty of time to listen to feedback, and now it’s got a publisher in French firm BigBen Interactive behind it. Already, the sequel AO Tennis 2 is sounding like an enormous...
Deal Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Cuts Its Price to $25 for Black Friday
Patience pays off, Samurai
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is one of 2019's heaviest hitters, so ahead of Push Square's upcoming Game of the Year deliberations, this is a fantastic deal you won't want to miss. Amazon US has slashed the price of From Software's latest experience to just $24.99 as part of Black Friday, representing an even better saving th
Soapbox Titanfall 2 on PS Plus Isn't Good Value for Money, But It's Still a Great Game
Why you shouldn't skip on Titanfall
PlayStation Plus' line-up for the month of December 2019 was announced yesterday, and as per usual, the response was mixed to say the least. The less said about Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame the better, but it's the inclusion of Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall 2
Deal You Can Buy Almost Every Main Assassin's Creed Game on PS4 in One Bundle for $66
Six games in total, including Odyssey and Origins
If you've somehow avoided Assassin's Creed in its entirety this generation, but you're looking to get into Ubisoft's open world series, then this may be the deal for you. Right now on the North American PlayStation Store, you can purchase the Assassin's Creed Legendary Collection at $65.99, down from...
News NetherRealm Rules the Fighting Game Roost on PS4
Get over here
What’s the best-selling fighting game on the PlayStation 4? It probably won’t surprise you, but in the United States it’s Mortal Kombat X. Perhaps more shocking is just how much of a chokehold developer NetherRealm Studios has on this NPD published genre list, as Mortal Kombat 11 and Injustice 2 round out two more of the...
News Death Stranding in Real Life Makes for an Absolute Must Watch Video
A Mega64 masterpiece
Well, what can we say? The Mega64 gang have done it again. The internet group has always had fun with Hideo Kojima's creations -- even working with the man himself on a couple of their projects -- and as soon as Death Stranding was announced, we knew that they'd end up doing a video on it. For those totally out of the loop,...
News Don't Expect Cyberpunk 2077 VR As Dev Comments on 'Very Small' VR Market
CDPR unconcerned about Half Life
Don't get your hopes up for Cyberpunk 2077 VR anytime soon, because CD Projekt Red doesn't seem to think much of virtual reality right now -- at least from a business perspective. During the company's most recent financial call, the developer was asked whether the newly announced Half-Life: Alyx could pose any kind...
Deal One of PS4's Best Games Is Under £12 Right Now
Oi oi, Aloy
Horizon: Zero Dawn is hands down one of the best exclusives available for the PlayStation 4, and you can get it along with its fantastic Frozen Wilds expansion for as little at £11.99 from supermarket Sainsbury’s this Black Friday 2019. If, for whatever reason, you haven’t played it yet, then you can have no excuse anymore...
Rumour Upcoming Batman Game Will Be Officially Announced Next Month
All eyes on The Game Awards
A little earlier in the year, WB Games Montréal got everyone all excited about a possible new Batman title. This game, which is all but confirmed following pretty blatant teasers, is said to be named Batman: Arkham Legacy, and will allegedly focus on a Court of Owls storyline. It sounds rather exciting, but there aren't...
Deal Get a Year of PS Plus for £30 This Black Friday in the UK
Plus one
PlayStation Plus memberships are currently discounted to £37.49 on the PlayStation Store, but we can do better than that, can't we? Black Friday is almost here after all. Over at ShopTo, you can currently secure a 12-month membership to PS Plus for just £29.85. You might want to be quick if you're looking to extend your membership, as...
Deal Shenmue III Has Had Its Price Slashed on PS4 for Black Friday
I see
Shenmue III has been out for just over a week, but it's already available for a reduced cost -- at least in North America. While in Europe the long-awaited sequel is holding its initial price, Amazon US is currently listing the game for $34.99 as part of its Black Friday sale. That perhaps speaks to the slow start the game has had when it...
News Touring Karts Is PSVR's Take on Mario Kart, Out Next Month
Cross-play with PC and consoles
The list of quality racing games on PlayStation 4 could be a lot better, but when you narrow it down to PlayStation VR titles alone, it becomes worryingly short. Developer Ivanovich Games is hoping to change all that, however, with Touring Karts -- a kart racer scheduled to hit the platform next month on 12th...
News Synthesis Is the Latest No Man's Sky Update, Adds and Refines Even More Features
VR photo mode! Multiple outfits! VR creature riding!
No Man's Sky has evolved immeasurably since its initial launch, with pretty regular updates that have each made dramatic changes to the experience. Beyond was probably the most significant of these, but the very latest update, named Synthesis, is nothing to sniff at either. Releasing today on...
News Four Five Nights at Freddy's Games Celebrate Black Friday on PS4
Get a pizza the action
As promised a year ago, multiple Five Nights at Freddy’s games are coming to the PlayStation 4 – and they’ll arrive just in time for Black Friday. Due out on 29th November at $7.99 a pop, you’ll be able to grab the first four instalments in the cult shock horror series. There’s a trailer embedded above...
News The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe Delayed to 'Sometime' in 2020
It's not so bad
Anticipated port The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe has been delayed until 2020, “sometime probably before summer, but it sort of depends on the specifics of how development goes”. Originally due out this year on consoles, developer Crows Crows Crows teased that it’s seriously expanded the scope of the title in this conversion...
Arcade stick meets pad
The Raion is a curious PlayStation 4 controller from Razer. Built primarily for fighting games, the pad doesn't have any analog sticks, and it has six main face buttons in similar positions to what you'd find on a typical arcade stick. The Raion is essentially a hybrid input device, bridging the gap between pad and stick --...
Mini Review Gas Guzzlers Extreme - Nothing Extreme About This Ropey PS4 Racer
Put it in reverse
Gas Guzzlers Extreme is a bad name for a pretty bad game. A combat racer that looks and feels like a title from generations gone by, it fails to really impress on any level. PlayStation 4 is a platform that's suffered a lack of arcade racing games, but this one can't hold a candle to the few decent examples available. One of its...
News Kojima Productions Veteran Ken Imaizumi Exits After 20 Years
Last man Stranding
One of Hideo Kojima’s primary accomplices, Ken-Ichiro Imaizumi (pictured far left), has departed Kojima Productions after 20 years. The veteran, who worked alongside the Metal Gear auteur at Konami before helping to co-found his new independent studio of the same name, most recently oversaw all production on PlayStation 4...
News Cyberpunk 2077 Is in Final Stage of Development
Here's Johnny
It would appear that Cyberpunk 2077 is still on course for its 16th April 2020 release date. Revealed in CD Projekt Red's latest financial documents for investors, the upcoming role-playing game is closing in on gold status. The company notes Cyberpunk's "final, most intensive pre-release stage" as a main reason for increased...
News First-Person View Won't Stop Cyberpunk 2077 from Having Mocapped Sex Scenes
In your face
Never a developer to shy away from scenes of a sexual nature, CD Projekt Red will be bringing motion captured eroticism to Cyberpunk 2077 (according to Reddit user shavod, who posted an impressively in-depth breakdown of a recent question and answer session). This process is, of course, nothing new for the company; The Witcher 3 also...
