News Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves PS5 Download Lets You Pick Which Game You Want to Play First
The perfect crime
An underutilised PlayStation 5 feature allows you to prioritise your download based on what you want to play. While we’ve seen this feature before in a few games, it’s largely ignored by most developers. However, Naughty Dog has taken advantage of the functionality with its Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, allowing you...

Sliding in
Ultra-satisfying PSVR rhythm game Beat Saber continues to expand and improve, and these new sliding block types have us practically salivating at the prospect of smashing them.

News Horizon Forbidden West Looks Ridiculous Even on PS4 Pro
Wizards
Guerrilla has always been a tech powerhouse, but we’re genuinely flabbergasted by this first official footage of Horizon Forbidden West running on a PS4 Pro. Sony has, irritatingly, opted to present it as a series of small GIF-like video clips on the PS Blog, but we've embedded one of them above. In short, though, they’re super...
Reaction We Need to Talk About Tiny Tina on PS Plus
Dragon weep
The reaction to PS Plus ebbs-and-flows depending on the lineup. For example, the vast majority of subscribers were pretty happy with Deep Rock Galactic, DIRT 5, and Persona 5 Strikers last month – all decent, recommended games. The response to February 2022’s PS Plus lineup, with UFC 4 and
News Gran Turismo 7 PS5, PS4 Ad Wants You to Find Your Line
Drive of your life
It’s a really busy few weeks for PlayStation – which is great for us – and that means we’re getting lots of media of upcoming games. This Gran Turismo 7 trailer is more of a commercial really, showcasing the title’s DualSense controls, 3D audio features, and stunning visuals. It’s a short ad, but it gets the point...
News Uncharted Movie's Final Trailer Is Corny, Compelling
Aw, crap
After a decade writing about the Uncharted Movie, spanning the entire history of Push Square, here’s its final trailer ahead of its 11th February release in cinemas. Sony has not been shy showing off set-pieces from this flick, and it’s hard to imagine there’s much left in the final edit. We once again get clips of the airplane scene...
Hands On They Made Destruction AllStars on PS5 Good
Like, for real
When it released last year, Destruction AllStars ultimately disappointed. Lucid Games’ chaotic crash-‘em-up was not a dud – in fact, between its diverse cast of well-animated characters and compelling use of the DualSense controller, there was much to like – but it just didn’t feel quite right. It was hard to put into words,...

News Horizon Forbidden West Makes Plenty of Quality of Life Improvements Over the Original
Removing Zero Dawn's headaches
It's looking like Horizon Forbidden West will be a sequel that builds upon what the first game achieved and improves the experience with lots of small (and large) tweaks. Horizon Zero Dawn was a fantastic first attempt at an open world action RPG from Guerrilla Games, but the second game seems to be making some much...
News Sony's PS Plus, PS Now Cross-Gen Bullsh*t Continues
Sort it out
There are things that are occurring in the PlayStation Nation that Sony has little control over. For example, the Japanese giant can do little if Microsoft decides to drop near-$70 billion at Bobby Kotick’s doorstep in order to buy Activision Blizzard. There are other instances where the platform holder can do better, however – and...
News Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection's PS5 Trophies Are a Complete Bust
Sully'd
What in the name of Sully’s holy ‘stache is this? How, we beg, has Naughty Dog managed to cock up Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection’s Trophies quite like this? This a truly head-scratching effort from one of Sony’s first-party studios, and we daresay it will cost the company a couple of quid, as there’s no doubt plenty were...

Fortune favours the old
Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is a damn good time. It bundles both Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy into one PlayStation 5 package, boasting new graphics modes, a complete lack of load times, and DualSense functionality. Both games are more than a few years old now, but as far as we're...

So, fairly long, then
How many hours does it take to beat Horizon Forbidden West? While we don't have a definitive answer to that question, we now have a pretty big clue as to how long we can expect the sequel to be.

Modified to augment ranged combat
Well, we all expected it really, didn’t we? The best armour in Horizon Zero Dawn was the Shield Weaver, which practically made Aloy unstoppable in combat. While you had to work through a number of side-quests to collect it, the souped-up threads effectively engulfed the protagonist in an impenetrable energy...
News PS4 Trophies Bugged Out with PS3 Labels and People Are Jumping to Conclusions Again
It was just a glitch
As the ol’ saying goes: aw sh*t, here we go again!

Both Horizon Forbidden West and Gran Turismo 7 release for PlayStation 5 and PS4 within just a few weeks of each other, and if you plan on having both installed on your internal SSD when the time comes, it looks like the twosome will take a huge chunk out of your overall storage space. The former is currently being pegged...
But just one conclusion
While you will have to field some “very strong” moral choices during your time with Horizon Forbidden West, the decisions you make will all culminate in a single “impactful” ending. That means, unlike most modern RPGs, there are not multiple endings to uncover – just the one, canon conclusion. We suspect said...
Talking Point In Theory, Could Xbox Game Pass Come to PS5, PS4?

Poll Does Sony Need to Take Action After Microsoft's Activision Buyout?
Holding out for a hero
