Rumour You Won't Need PlayStation Plus to Play PS4 Online This Weekend
For the savers
Sony's sold a staggering 18.5 million PlayStation 4 consoles to date, but it only has 10.9 million active PlayStation Plus subscribers. This means that almost half of the system's owners are currently without online multiplayer, and we suspect that this is a trend that the Japanese giant would very much like to change. Fortunately, it...
Rumour Destiny to Explore the Plague of Darkness in September
Ghost busters
With slick shooting and some stunning scenery, Destiny would have been a shoo-in for our Game of the Year if there was a bit more substance to it. Bungie seems aware that its first-person shooter lacks content, though, and has plotted out a rather long roadmap of post-release support for the not-quite MMO. The plan was put into action...
Rumour Rebecca Chambers Will Return in Resident Evil Zero on PS4, PS3
Oh, Coen then
It seems like Capcom's not even going to bother waiting to see if its forthcoming Resident Evil re-release is successful, as it appears to be lining up a remastered version of divisive GameCube prequel Resident Evil Zero as we type. Eagle eyed fans spotted the game's icon on a PlayStation 4 dashboard image, which the publisher is using...
Rumour The Last of Us 2 Will Explore the Depths of Despair on PS4
Ex-employee outs forthcoming exclusive
The Last of Us was not only a critical smash, but it was also a gigantic commercial success for Sony, moving over seven million copies on the PlayStation 3 alone. Naughty Dog was probably always going to have to build some form of sequel, then – and if the Linked In profile of one soon-to-be very sheepish...
Rumour Mamma Mia! Sony May Be Making a Super Mario Movie
Let's-a-go
You won’t be seeing Super Mario on your PlayStation 4 anytime soon, but according to Buzzfeed, the pudgy plumber may be plotting a return to the silver screen – and it sounds like Sony’s engineering the move. A slew of leaked details filtering out of Sony Pictures suggest that the film factory has struck a deal with the Kyoto...
Rumour Will Borderlands: Remastered Edition Look for Loads of Loot on PS4?
Ready for round two?
"We're sick of new titles on the PlayStation 4!" the passionate gaming masses shout as they march through the village square. "We want more last-gen re-releases!" Luckily for this ill-conceived cliché, the Australian ratings board may have just
Rumour Did Hideo Kojima Just Announce the Release Date for Metal Gear Solid V?
Kept us waiting
Reporting on rumours surrounding Hideo Kojima's games is risky business. On the one hand, the talented provocateur is infamous for his sneaky teases, but on the other, the leaks are usually completely outlandish. For example, you may recall that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain was originally announced as the project of a...
Rumour The Next Assassin's Creed Will Brave the Smog of Victorian London
Update: Ubisoft confirms development of Victory for PS4
You wait years for a game set in Victorian London, and then two come along at once. Sony’s ambitious The Order: 1886 may not be the only top hat sporting title to hit town next year, as Kotaku has dug up some very believable dirt on Ubisoft’s next big blockbuster: Assassin'
Rumour Sony's About to Get Really Aggressive in China
Business development
Considering that PlayStation is already enormous in Japan and most of Asia, it was strange to see Sony allow the Xbox One to deploy in China first. Microsoft’s machine launched in the potentially lucrative region earlier in the year, and there’s been very little word from its rival when the PlayStation 4 will follow in its...
Rumour David Jaffe's New Game Will Be Revealed at PlayStation Experience
God of War maker returns
We knew that David Jaffe wouldn’t be able to stay away for long. The veteran PlayStation employee – who’s behind some of the platform holder’s biggest properties, including God of War and Twisted Metal – looks set to reveal his latest project at Sony’s forthcoming PlayStation Experience fan event. Of course, th
Rumour Sony Plotting 'Massive' PS4 Black Friday Bundle at 'Competitive MSRP'
Cheap as chips
Black Friday is the biggest day in the calendar year for North American retail, and Sony appears to be lining up some impressive PlayStation 4 deals for the shopping event. We’ve already seen some stores hint at bundles including Grand Theft Auto V and
Rumour Is DriveClub's DLC Blazing a Trail to Japan?
If the game ever gets fixed
There’s been absolutely nothing kawaii about DriveClub’s disastrous launch, but the fact that the game’s good has made its issues all the more irritating. With new November DLC originally outlined in the developer’s post-release roadmap, we should be awaiting information on new vehicles and tracks right now –...
News Wait, Did Sony Just Accidentally Reveal the Uncharted Collection for PS4?
Not-so hidden relic
At this point, it’s probably fairly safe to assume that there will be an Uncharted Collection on the PlayStation 4. Sony has said that it doesn’t want to flood the market with re-releases, but does want to provide people that didn’t own a PlayStation 3 with an opportunity to play some of the previous generation’s best...
Rumour Grand Theft Auto V on PS4 Will Sparkle in 1080p
Franklin amazing
Reports on resolution probably shouldn’t be a thing in this day and age, but our statistics suggest that many of you are actually gagging for it, so we’re sort of forced to oblige. Fortunately, this snippet is worth a few hundred words, as Official PlayStation Magazine claims that Grand Theft Auto V will run at a full,...
News Could Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas HD Be on the Way?
Hot coffee
Scoffing fast food and going to the gym could be about to get entertaining again, as speculation suggests that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas may be getting the re-release treatment on the PlayStation 3. The title launched as a PlayStation 2 Classic some time ago, but Rockstar Games has since pulled that version from the PlayStation Store...
Rumour Speculation Suggests Major PS4 Exclusives Will Be Unveiled at PlayStation Experience
Doesn't it always?
As is the case with any upcoming industry event, gamers are currently whipping themselves into a major frenzy over the PlayStation Experience event. For those out of the loop, this fan-based Las Vegas convention is set to run from 6th December through until 7th December, and promises to give attendees hands-on time with a bunch of...
Rumour 14GB Will Be Enough to Contain the Cuteness of PS4 Exclusive LittleBigPlanet 3
PS Move compatibility also on the cards
A little like DriveClub, the upcoming LittleBigPlanet 3 is one of those titles that we want nestling on our PlayStation 4’s hard drive. Sony’s exclusive lineup this year seems built around pickup and play experiences that will have long legs, and Sackboy’s latest errand looks particularly likely to...
Rumour Grand Theft Auto V PS4 Will Allow You to Commit Crimes in First-Person
Through the looking glass
The game may be over a year old, but Grand Theft Auto V is the new hotness as far as the PlayStation 4 is concerned. That means that there are tons of rumours circling around the next-gen re-release, including a supposedly pulled page from Rockstar Games’ website which mentions the inclusion of a first-person mode. We do...
Rumour Killzone Creator Guerrilla Games Finds a New Horizon in Fascinating PS4 Exclusive
Jurassic park
There’s no doubt that the Killzone franchise has divided gamers, but Guerrilla Games has never disappointed from a technical perspective. While it’s certainly failed to take advantage of the vast amount of lore created for its sci-fi series, every single one of its exclusive first-person shooters have been a spectacle – from the...
News No Way, You'll Be Able to Play Final Fantasy XV on PS4 Next Year
Noctis again
There are currently tears running down this editor’s cheek. We’ve waited eight long years for Final Fantasy XV – previously named Final Fantasy Versus XIII – but we could be months away from a demo being deployed. A now pulled Game Informer article states that those who buy
News Wait, There Are More Unannounced PS4 Titles Due This Year?
Sony certainly thinks so
Isn’t that just typical? We spend the best part of the afternoon penning an article on the PlayStation 4’s borderline bonkers November lineup, and then an additional unannounced title gets teased. Referenced in an MCV advertisement, which lists all of the retail releases due out on the next-gen machine this year, a...
News Grand Theft Auto V PS4 Supposedly Looks Sweet, But You Can't See It Yet
Due out 'soon'
The holiday rush is upon us, but still Rockstar is keeping Grand Theft Auto V’s next-gen port locked up tighter than Trevor should be. Despite insistence from parent company Take-Two that the re-release will still deploy this year, we’ve started to have our doubts. Fortunately, a report from
Rumour Minecraft Maker May Be Purchased by Microsoft for $2 Billion
Good job they finished the PS4 version
Minecraft has already proven that it’s a pixelated license to print money, and Microsoft apparently wants the lucrative brand under its umbrella. A report on the Wall Street Journal states that the Redmond-based firm is in talks to purchase Mojang, the organisation behind the bricklaying game. According to...
Rumour Beyond: Two Souls May Still Be Bringing Next-Gen Emotions to PS4
So many emotions
There have been rumours of David Cage's most recent emotional escapade Beyond: Two Souls getting the next-gen treatment for quite some time now. First, a rather suspicious input code was uncovered, and then a Swiss online store posted a listing for the title, even going so far as to include some swanky
Rumour Is PS2 Classic Earth Defence Force 2 Coming to the Vita?
Fingers crossed
The PlayStation Vita is a pretty nifty piece of tech, but it is woefully lacking when it comes to giant robots. That shouldn't be a problem for much longer, though, as a recent report from Gematsu suggests that fondly remembered PlayStation 2 title Earth Defence Force 2 will soon be ported to the handheld. What's more, it's...
Rumour Project Puppet Could Be Japan Studio's Next Big PS4 Exclusive
Update: No, it's not
Update: You can't knock a coconut down everytime, and it seems like we've been duped. This is not Japan Studio's next project, but rather a short movie posted to Vimeo a few years ago. In other words, it's faker than Simon Cowell's front teeth. Hype deflated. Original story: Japan Studio had a rough few years during the...
Rumour Silent Hills May Not Scare You Silly Until at Least 2016
But will it be third-person or first-person?
If you’ve just managed to work your way through the P.T. demo, then you may have a couple of years left to settle your nerves and dry clean your clothes prior to the release of Silent Hills, as director Hideo Kojima has hinted that the game may not be ready until 2016. That’s according to
Rumour PS4 Firmware Update 2.00 to Add Dashboard Themes
Console and colours
Update: Sid Shuman has confirmed on NeoGAF that this was an error: "Just wanted to confirm that this was in error and the show has been corrected. Sorry for the mix up. We'll keep you posted on any news related to PS4 themes in the future." Original article: The royal blue of the PlayStation 4’s user interface is undeniably...
Rumour PS4 Interface Images Show Folders, Improved Trophy Notifications, and More
Sadly, they're probably fake
There’s nothing like a good ol’ fashioned leak to shake you out of a groggy Sunday morning. In truth, this looks fake, so don’t expect it to be officially unveiled at Gamescom 2014 next week – but we kind of wished that it would be. The shots show an enhanced PlayStation 4 user interface, including folders, some...
Rumour Assassin's Creed: Rogue Will Clamber Onto the PS3 in November
Sneaky leak
Remember when games managed to last countless months – sometimes even years – without several high-profile leaks? No, neither do we. The latest in this growing trend of industry slipups is a trailer for Assassin's Creed: Rogue, the purported series entry planned to hit PlayStation 3 later this year. You can find the full clip through
Rumour Will Watch Dogs' Newest DLC See You Hacking the Streets of New Jersey?
One to watch
If you feel like your square button hasn't been seeing enough love since you finished open world hack-'em-up Watch Dogs, never fear, as recent tweets from the title's official Twitter account suggest that it may be getting some new DLC. Intriguingly, the messages imply that the downloable extras may be set in an entirely separate city...
Rumour Sony Employee Allegedly Pegs PS4 DLNA for Early 2015
MP3 and video player apparently this year
There are so many supposed ‘industry insiders’ these days that we have to carefully sidestep landmines every day in order to give you the news that we deem to be real, but this little tidbit seeping out of Reddit seems worth the risk. An apparent Sony employee with a very clear desire to sign on at their...
Rumour The Unfinished Swan Feeling Its Way onto PS4 and Vita
Drawn to life
With most of Sony Santa Monica’s indie-inspired adventures already available on the PlayStation 4 and Vita, it’s only a matter of time before our 2012 Game of the Year winners The Unfinished Swan and Journey make the jump. Fascinatingly, the former may just be closer than you think, as Giant Sparrow’s beautiful first-person foray...
Rumour Tekken 7 Punches PlayStation 4 Square in the Jaw
King of fighters
It looks like not even the Mishima family has been able to keep Tekken 7 under wraps, as the title has just leaked courtesy of an IGN News video. The sequel was strongly rumoured earlier today when a logo accidentally appeared during the EVO fighting game championships, but the Daemon Hatfield fronted clip seemingly corroborates the...
Rumour Homefront: The Revolution's Hopes of an Uprising Plummet
Title potentially in tatters
Homefront: The Revolution, the first-person franchise revival by Crytek UK, only got announced a few weeks ago – but the project already appears to be in tatters. Widespread reports suggest that the firm formerly known as Free Radical has been working without pay chequ
Rumour Hot Shots Golf Has a Great Shot at Rolling onto PS4
Fore the players
While we’d give our racquet arm for another Hot Shots Tennis, it seems that Japanese outfit Clap Hanz may be working on a new golf game – presumably for the PlayStation 4. The studio has been silent since putting Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational onto the PlayStation 3 and Vita, but now it's recruiting – and
Rumour Is Teen Horror Until Dawn About to Strip Down on PS4?
Sony revives PlayStation Move fear fest
Horror games may be dime a dozen right now, but Supermassive Games’ ex-PlayStation 3 exclusive Until Dawn never sounded like your average scare-‘em-up. Taking inspiration from teen movies, the title promised a somewhat frisky affair, where you’d need to use the PlayStation Move controller to remove...
News This Swiss Store Thinks That Beyond: Two Souls Is Coming to PS4
Turning the Page
We thought that Sony’s E3 2014 press conference last month would be chock-a-block with next-gen re-releases of PlayStation 3 titles, but only Grand Theft Auto V and The Last of Us Remastered put in appearances. That doesn’t mean that the manufacturer’s not working on up ports of some of its most popular titles, though, and...
Rumour Are The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us Coming to PS4 Before Christmas?
It's about Clemen-time
You could never accuse Telltale Games of not working hard enough. The supremely talented developer, which recently announced Borderlands and Game of Thrones projects, is also bringing its two most popular zombie and werewolf themed franchises to the PlayStation 4. We were already aware of the ports, but new
Rumour Batman: Arkham Origins Complete Edition May Be Gliding Onto PS3 In August
Gee willikers
Batman: Arkham Knight may have retreated to the bat cave till next year, but that doesn't mean the surly superhero is completely out of the fight. A listing on Amazon Germany recently popped up which suggests that Batman: Arkham Origins will soon be getting a game of the year-esque release on PlayStation 3. This new version,...
Rumour Could Final Fantasy Type-0 Be Out in Time for Christmas?
Festive miracle
With the supposedly upcoming Final Fantasy XV starting to feel as fictional as the Loch Ness monster, it was hard to get excited about the announcement of Final Fantasy Type-0 for the PlayStation 4. Even with the news that the port has been in the works for some time, staff and readers alike were still taking bets on what year, let...
News July's PlayStation Plus PS4 Freebies May include Strider and TowerFall Ascension
Service hitting its Strider
Not a month goes by without some kind of PlayStation Plus leak, so it's with a hint of inevitability that Sony appears to have accidentally outed July’s selection of free PlayStation 4 releases. Those that have been paying particular attention to the premium service will know that the next-gen freebies tend to be...
Rumour Destiny's Extra PS4 and PS3 Content Will Only Be Exclusive Till Next Year
Jumping jive
Timed exclusive content is a lot like the lottery: it's a constant source of bitterness, until you're on the receiving end. So, it's with great care that we report on recent rumours that the promised extra features on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 for hotly anticipated shooter Destiny will only be exclusive until next year. According...
Rumour PS4 Sequel Batman: Arkham Knight to Swoop into Stores in January?
Better not be another riddle
Batman: Arkham Knight’s recent delay proved more heartbreaking than Mr. Freeze’s backstory, but the Dark Knight’s voice actor Kevin Conroy has hinted that you may not be waiting too long for the PlayStation 4 game. As part of an interview with GrooveyTV, the star seemingly revealed that the title’s due out in...
Rumour Is Titanfall 2 Stomping onto PS4 in the Near Future?
It's a secret
Pseudo Xbox One exclusive Titanfall is a strange game. The first-person shooter – created by ex-Call of Duty makers Respawn Entertainment – was championed as the second coming of your chosen religious prophet for an outrageously long time, and then it just disappeared in the blink of an eye. As far as we’re aware, the title’s...
Rumour Is Sleeping Dogs Bringing Upgraded Kung Fu Fighting to the PS4?
No Wei
If a recent listing on online UK retailer ShopTo is anything to go by, an upgraded port of Sleeping Dogs may be on the way for PlayStation 4. The online store has the title touted to launch on 21st November this year, so if it is the real deal, we'll likely be hearing about it in the coming weeks. In truth, we think the open world epic is the...
E3 2014 Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Will Be the Last in the Series, Hints Nolan North
Going out on a bang
Nolan North, the voice actor behind just about every video game protagonist ever – including Nathan Drake – has recently said that he believes Uncharted 4: A Thief's End will be the last game in the popular series. Speaking with IGN, the smooth sounding star stated that he hopes the franchise stays in the right hands. "If...
Rumour Entwined Trophies Tease Digital Download for PS4, PS3, and Vita
Weaved with love
While it’s always exciting to see trademarks leak out ahead of big conventions, it almost always culminates in some exaggerated expectations. Entwined is one such title that’s fallen to the E3 2014 hype machine, as many were expecting it to be Sony’s next big PlayStation 4 blockbuster – and perhaps not a cross-platform...
E3 2014 Assassin's Creed: Unity Banner Teases Clandestine Co-Op on PS4
You're not alone
PlayStation 4 sequel Assassin’s Creed: Unity may finally put an end to solitary eavesdropping sessions, as a banner for the forthcoming next-gen exclusive hints at some form of co-op in the French revolution-based escapade. While far from a confirmation, the artwork – attached to the side of the L.A. Convention Center – shows...
News PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Isn't Readying Itself for Round Two on PS4
Despite what you may have heard
The build up to E3 is always a minefield of rumours and speculation, but it’s been particularly difficult to dodge a misplaced bomb this time around. Mere hours ago, IGN erroneously reported that The Last Guardian had been cancelled, while we still see that fake PlayStation press conference schedule doing the...
