E3 2015 Thank Heavens Sony Didn't Change Horizon's Protagonist
"Is it risky to do a female character?"
It's a sad reality that some gamers are close-minded – after all, we've all seen what's happened to our wonderful hobby over the past year. But while we're not here to preach to any one of you on this site, we will say that we're glad that Sony and Guerrilla Games stuck to its guns with Horizon: Zero Dawn's...
E3 2015 Uncharted 4 Aiming for 30FPS Single Player, 60FPS Multiplayer
Pushing the pretty
Few would disagree that Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is the best looking game at E3 2015, and that means that it's not going to hit its original 60 frames-per-second target. Speaking on a GameSpot livestream earlier in the week, lead game designer Kurt Margenau revealed that the studio's now targeting 30 frames-per-second for the...
E3 2015 Shadow of the Beast May Be PS4's Bloodiest Game
Gore, blimey
Shadow of the Beast is a beloved brand for many, so there was a mixture of excitement and trepidation when Heavy Spectrum announced that it would be taking the series' reins and rebooting it for the PlayStation 4. This first footage of the new-gen version proves that there was little to worry about, however, as the release is looking...
E3 2015 Sony Bend's Mysterious PS4 Exclusive Is Looking and Playing Good
Shuhei Yoshida chimes in
Perhaps the best thing about Sony's big E3 2015 press conference this week is that, while the Japanese giant revealed enough to sate its rabid fanbase, it also kept a fair amount in the locker. One such game that remains unannounced is the latest from Uncharted: Golden Abyss developer Sony Bend – and speaking on a GameSpot...
E3 2015 Dreams Is Clearly PS4's Craziest Exclusive Ever
Dream a dream
Dreams is the kind of game that, truthfully, you'd only ever find on a PlayStation platform. The fact that Sony has allowed Media Molecule to spend the past four or so years working on a title that can't even be easily explained is a testament to the creativity that courses through the company as a whole. Still, it would be nice to...
E3 2015 The Last Guardian Explores the Relationship Between People and Animals
Based Ueda
Love it or loathe it, games like The Last Guardian just don't get made. This a blockbuster title in every sense of word, and it clearly has a colossal [Pun intended – Ed] budget behind it. So, in a year where Ubisoft's big reveal was a Ghost Recon reboot that looked almost identical to its still-in-development The Division, it's...
News Sony: Backward Compatibility Is a Requested Feature, But Not Greatly Used
That's one angle
Sony has no plans to add backward compatibility to the PlayStation 4, as it doesn't believe that the feature is particularly greatly used.

News Horizon: Zero Dawn Was in Killzone: Shadow Fall All Along

Guerrilla Games, you sly dogs! Much like The Last of Us teaser in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, the Dutch developer stuffed a Horizon: Zero Dawn hint in PlayStation 4 launch title Killzone: Shadow Fall – it's just taken us all this time to notice.

Reaction Sony Proves That PS4's Got a Stranglehold on Consoles at E3 2015
Manufacturer's melted back into market leader role
Sony has the console market in a stranglehold with the PlayStation 4, and E3 2015 reinforced that point. There was a worry after the device's almost immaculate launch that it would rest on its laurels, but it appears that the enormous success of the system has only motivated it more – it's choking...
E3 2015 Sony's Shawn Layden Says 'Less Talk, More Game' Was the E3 Mantra
Sony exec pulled no punches
Shawn Layden pretty much cemented his place in the E3 hall of fame after Sony's ridiculously good E3 2015 press conference.

E3 2015 How Much of an RPG Is PS4's Horizon: Zero Dawn?
It's still not entirely clear
Horizon: Zero Dawn, the ambitious new property from Guerrilla Games, dazzled during Sony's big E3 2015 media briefing this week – but we don't actually know a lot about the game. We know that you'll play as Aloy, a young female protagonist from a tribe who's adept at hunting Machines – the robotic creatures who have...
E3 2015 Sony to Bring PS4 Prices Down in Brazil
Kidneys no longer requested as payment
A niche bit of news for you here, but interesting nonetheless: Sony will begin manufacturing the PlayStation 4 in Brazil, in an effort to bring prices down.

E3 2015 The Last Guardian's PS3 Trailer Wasn't Quite Real
Sony 'specced up' the footage
Well, this is awkward. When Sony re-revealed The Last Guardian this week, many suggested that it looked similar to the title's PlayStation 3 trailer from all those years ago.

E3 2015 Why Didn't Sony Show More Morpheus During Its Presser?
Obvious, really
The big rumour going into E3 2015 was that Sony was going to spotlight the PlayStation 4's innovative Project Morpheus headset pretty heavily during its press conference – but it didn't.
