We've said it once and we'll say it again - the limited edition Destiny themed PlayStation 4 is a real looker. The primarily white console launches alongside the shooter's upcoming expansion, The Taken King, on the 15th September - but we've been given an early look at the machine thanks to Alex from YouTube channel Arekkz Gaming.

Like, so totally hot right now

Diablo III, Call of Duty, and Final Fantasy all slashed

News When's the Inevitable PS4 Slim Coming Out, Sony?
Also, what's going on with Gran Turismo?
Let's not beat around the bush: there will be a PlayStation 4 Slim at some point. Of course, it's not something that anyone at Sony wants to talk about just yet, and PlayStation India boss Atindriya Bose is no different. Quizzed by Gaming Bolt about the possibility of a much smaller model, the suit said that...
News PS4 Surpasses Yet Another Sales Milestone
This time in the Middle East
Sony's new-gen system is on fire pretty much all around the world, and the story is no different in the Middle East.

Speaking of the success, SCE gaffer...
News Sony Digs Up Buried Treasure with Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection PS4 Bundle
Platform holder also excavates advert
Sony's been releasing PlayStation 4 bundles like they're going out of fashion in Europe, but the firm's been a little hesitant to repeat the strategy in North America. You didn't think that it was going to miss out on an opportunity to package Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection with the console, though, did...
News This EU DriveClub Deal Is An Absolute Steal
Cheap and cheerful
We have no hesitation saying that DriveClub is one of the best games on the PlayStation 4 these days, but if the launch issues put you off then there's never been a better time to pick it up.

News Sony: PlayStation Innovation Is Simply Unparalleled
Firm committed to offering the best place to play
Sony has, on occasion, garnered a reputation for being a bit of a copy cat. Products like the PlayStation Move, for example, are often flaunted as an example of the organisation's lack of creativity. But in truth, the platform holder has been innovating since it entered the market, with the PSone's...
News Naughty Dog: We Can Put Together a Really Great Add-on for Uncharted 4
Studio talks single player DLC
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End will be following in The Last of Us' footsteps and getting a story-based expansion pack. This will mark the first time that the series has had its campaign extended with post-release content, and speaking at the GameStop Expo earlier this week – yes, there are c
News Gran Turismo 6 Sales Linger at the Back of the Pack
Slow coach
You could argue that Sony supported the PlayStation 3 too long. Sony Santa Monica and Naughty Dog both released big games for the console during the year of the PlayStation 4's release, and the likes of Gran Turismo 6 deployed after the new-gen device. Unsurprisingly, that decision had a negative impact on the latter's sales, as ongoing...
News PS4 Firmware Update 3.00 Beta Invitations Are Out
What are you doing here?
You may want to quickly check your emails before reading on, as Sony has been sending out invitations to the PlayStation 4 firmware update v3.00 beta throughout the course of the day. The platform holder opened registrations to the system software test late last month, so if you applied, there's a good chance that you may...

That's not bad, and with the Season Pass selling...
Review Tearaway Unfolded (PS4)
Card to beat
Leave it to Media Molecule to find a purpose for all of those gadgets that Sony stuffed into the DualShock 4 controller. Tearaway Unfolded, a remixed edition of the Guildford-based developer's underappreciated PlayStation Vita exclusive, may feature a papery protagonist named either Iota or Atoi, but it's the PlayStation 4's input...
News Sony's Given the North American PlayStation Store a Makeover
Spruced up
Don't quote us on this, but one of the things that Sony touted about the new PlayStation Store when it rolled out on the PlayStation 3 was its ability to adapt the design without needing to deploy firmware updates. It appears to have taken advantage of this functionality, as the online plaza has been given a bit of a spring clean in North...

Adding to the copious amount of limited edition consoles already available in Japan is a newly announced Arslan: The Warriors of Legend PlayStation 4, which is based upon the upcoming hack and slash title from Dynasty Warriors developer Omega Force.

News Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Looks Insane on PS4
Hot stuff
One of the draws of the Uncharted franchise has always been its presentation, and Sony really has hired the best to bring the trilogy to the PlayStation 4. Bluepoint did some outstanding porting work on the PlayStation 3, with both the God of War Collection and the ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection to its name – but The Nathan...
News Uncharted 4's MoCap Is Slowly but Surely Getting Wrapped
And cut
We'd assumed that Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's motion capture would be long completed by now, but it seems that Naughty Dog's only just wrapped up work on two key characters: Sully and Elena. Neil Druckmann tweeted a week or so ago that all of Richard McGonagle and Emily Rose's scenes are now complete, with the likes of Nolan North seemingly...
Feature Our Most Anticipated PlayStation Games of Holiday 2015
Pick 'n' mix
Madden NFL 16 is out, which means that the holiday rush is upon us. As such, we thought that it would be fun to collate our most anticipated titles from the coming months in one place. There was one rule, however – no one was allowed to include a title releasing prior to 7th September. Why? Because we didn't want a list that consisted...
Gallery Sony Made Us Dress Up as a Squirrel for Tearaway Unfolded
So we did
Life as a video games writer is rarely glamorous – but it's not normally as embarrassing as this.

Never one to refuse a challenge, this author hopped straight into the luminous orange onesie and posed for a few photographs...
News Metal Gear Solid 5's Collector's Edition Sounds Like a Big Old Disaster
Tactical erroneous action
There's more drama surrounding Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's collector's edition than a Hideo Kojima game itself. Reports are piling out of sites like Reddit and NeoGAF regarding delays to the bumper box set, which includes a copy of the game alongside a bionic arm and various other bits and bobs that have almost...
News PlayStation Promises Massive Presence at PAX Prime 2015
Tons to see and do
One thing that PlayStation's really good at is showing up at conventions and bringing a lot of content for fans to get their hands on. To be honest, it must be both extremely expensive and really challenging to hit all of these shows, but Sony seems to go to practically every single one, ensuring that gamers have an opportunity to...
News Japan's Censored Until Dawn's Most Grisly Scenes in the Worst Way
Fade to black
Until Dawn doesn't go totally SAW, but it does have a little fun with a saw blade at one point. Sadly, those playing the slasher in Japan will not get to see all of the gore, as the game has been censored in arguably the worst way imaginable. In the sequence involving entrails and other viscera, the Eastern version simply cuts to...
News The First Fansite for PS4 Exclusive Dreams Is Live
Day dreamer
Media Molecule's always had a vibrant community surrounding its games, and it looks like that's set to continue with Dreams, the mysterious PlayStation 4 exclusive that was announced at E3 2015 earlier in the year. We don't even know what the title is yet, but that's not stopped dreambubble.me from arriving on the scene. Unsurprisingly,...
News Hardware Rivals Trademark Registered by Sony in Japan
Could it be London Studio's next title?
Hardware: Rivals – a new game name supposedly registered by Sony in Japan – sounds like it should be PlayStation's take on that wacky Dreamcast role-playing release that depicted the demise of SEGA, but there's greater evidence to suggest that it's the next title from London Studio. We're going to assume...
News Sony's Stopping Twitch Streamers from Archiving Until Dawn
Nightmare
We're not entirely sure how we feel about this one. A tweet by Twitch Support appears to allude to the fact that Sony has disabled archiving on Until Dawn, preventing people from replaying streams that have since concluded. This could be a simple error on the platform holder's part, but it seems like a calculated decision to stop the story...
News PGA Tour PS4's Price Putt Down in EU PlayStation Store Sale
Cost of LEGO games also crumbled
With no release date or information attached to Sony's own Hot Shots Golf sequel, we're gagging for a good gold game on the PlayStation 4.

News Scream Like You Mean It with Until Dawn's Launch Trailer
Argh
The shock success of Until Dawn appears to have taken even Sony by surprise, as it scrambles to put out trailers and prepare bundles for what's turned out one of the better exclusives on the PlayStation 4. Given the critical mauling that The Order: 1886 received, we can understand why it was sceptical of this one – but at least it can give it...

Silver lining
Forget about games like Crackdown 3 – this right here is the real power of the cloud.

News PS Vita Prototype Looked a Lot Like the PSPgo
HDMI and SD card support, too
Sony's PlayStation Vita didn't take the gaming world by storm unfortunately, but at one point in time it may have stood a better chance. One of the poorest decisions by the bigwigs at Sony was the use of propriety memory cards instead of the much cheaper and readily available SD cards. It's a decision which has baffled...

An early look at exclusives London Heist and RIGS

Feature The Best PS4 Games of the Year So Far
Halfway heaven

Opinion What the Hell Is Everybody's Gone to the Rapture About?
Theories, suggestions, and themes
You could argue that the "game" portion of Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is trying to piece it all together. The Chinese Room's latest so-called walking simulator is not especially mechanically dense, restricting much of its action to the DualShock 4's two analogue sticks and a single button. This is a title...

News PS4 Exclusive Everybody's Gone to the Rapture Was Technically Top of the UK Charts Last Week
Digital be damned
As reported, LEGO Jurassic World was top of the UK sales charts last week - but as we all know, the rankings don't take digital releases into account. The concept seems a bit mad when you consider how much money firms like Sony are raking in from their digital marketplaces, and it seems crazier still when you realise how many...
