News Latest Resident Evil 8 Leak Sounds a Little Bit Too Ridiculous
Zombies with swords? Nah
The currently unannounced Resident Evil 8 has been the subject of various leaks over the past couple of weeks, none of which have been confirmed to be real.

Rumour MediEvil 2 Remake Development Teased by Composer
Sir Dan strikes back
Last year's MediEvil PlayStation 4 remake seemed to be somewhat of a sales success, at least in Europe where it was most popular, potentially opening the door to the possibility of its PSone sequel getting the same treatment. And if this latest set of tweets from the remake's composer are anything to go by then MediEvil II for...

Ratcheting up the hype

News Yeah, That Rumoured 5th February PS5 Reveal Event Ain't Happening
Sony still silent
Remember when multiple rumours said that Sony would be holding a PlayStation 5 reveal event on the 5th February? Well, we hate to burst the bubble, but it isn't happening. It's now the 28th January at the time of writing, and Sony's said nothing. Events like this obviously take a lot of time and effort to plan ahead for, and based...

News PS5 Startup Sequence Is Likely Fake, But Still Lovely
Fully loaded
Up until the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita, Sony used to invest a lot of time and resources into its consoles’ start-up sequences. We suppose the PSone is the most iconic of these, but the PS2, PS3, and even PlayStation Portable had great intro scenes which are etched into our collective memories. So which direction will the upcoming...

News PS5 Slogan Change Actually Doesn't Give Weight to Massive Next-Gen Leak
PS5 price, reveal event, games, and more
Update (21st January): It's been brought to our attention that there's actually nothing new about the slogan "It's Time to Play", as it was used in a PlayStation marketing campaign late last year.

The Starfields align
So, what's going on behind the scenes at Bethesda Game Studios? At E3 2018, studio head Todd Howard confirmed that the developer has two projects in the works: Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI.

Rumour The Order: 1886 Will Make a Triumphant Comeback with PS5 Sequel
Cor blimey
Ready at Dawn's The Order: 1886 was a graphical showcase on PlayStation 4, but ultimately fell flat with critics and some players.

It would be nice...

It's interesting,...
News Final Fantasy VII Remake Demo Release Date Is Still an Unknown Quantity
Gamespot retracts statement
Update: It looks like this was a goof-up from Gamespot, as the 3rd March 2019 release for Final Fantasy VII Remake's demo has now been pulled.

Going ape
The Ape Escape series has eluded PlayStation consoles for a long time now, and fans have been crying out for a revival.

Rumour A Plague Tale 2 in Development, Planned for Release in 2022
Stripped of innocence
Eek! This is a rumour that gets this particular scribe rather excited. A Plague Tale: Innocence is one of 2019's most underrated games, but that didn't stop people from going out and buying it -- the game and RPG GreedFall increased publisher Focus Home Interactive's revenue by 80%.

News Sony Is Allegedly Making a Crash Bandicoot Movie
But could be bogus
As the ill-fated Uncharted movie and recently established PlayStation Productions can attest, Sony’s a fan of video game adaptations.
