Poll What PS5 Game Had the Best Showing at Gamescom Opening Night Live?
Take your pick
Another Gamescom Opening Night Live has come and gone, with Geoff Keighley's latest showcase being... a moderate success, we'd say. In our recent poll, readers were torn between calling the event "good", "poor", and just "okay" — but today, we're not here to judge the show as a whole. Instead, we want to know which PS5 title...
News Action RPG Granblue Fantasy: Relink Gets Six Minutes of Superb PS5 Gameplay
Granblue Fantastic
At this point we've seen a lot of Granblue Fantasy: Relink, but this new trailer in particular presents some great looking PS5 gameplay. The six-minute video isn't uncut — and seems to jump between the excursions of two different parties — but it really does sell the title's flashy combat system. Quick combo attacks and a...
Two for one
Publisher Focus Interactive will host a special livestream next week, focusing on "extended gameplay presentations" for both Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 and Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. The two titles have shown promise in previous trailers, with Space Marine 2 in particular attracting some positive previews at Gamescom. The...
Poll Did You Buy Armored Core 6?
Core fans
It's almost surreal to think that a series like Armored Core is currently one of the biggest talking points in gaming, but that's the power of modern FromSoftware. The latest game in the long-running mecha series — it's only been a ten-year hiatus! — is out now on PS5 and PS4, but will you be adding to the hype? As always, we want to...
News New Final Fantasy 16 Patch Incoming, But Don't Get Too Excited
Out this week
A new patch for Final Fantasy 16 will be dropping this week, but try not to get too excited when the notification pops up on your PS5. Indeed, this seems to be a very minor update, with the game's official Japanese website mentioning adjustments to how Arcade Mode evaluates your combat performance — and that's pretty much it. A new...
Rumour Dragon Age: Dreadwolf Targeting Summer 2024 Release at the Earliest
Dreading it
Hot off the back of the unfortunate news that BioWare is cutting roughly 50 jobs, it's now sounding like Dragon Age: Dreadwolf — the studio's next game — is still a long way off. This is according to Jeff Grubb, who's been in-the-know with regards to BioWare in the past. In his latest video, Grubb states that Dreadwolf was actually...
News Kiryu Was Always Meant to Return in Like a Dragon 8, Dev Claims
Ever since his story ended in Yakuza 6
Please note this article contains relatively minor spoilers for Yakuza: Like a Dragon. When Yakuza 6: The Song of Life was billed as the final chapter in series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu's story, more cynical fans would have probably told you that he'd no doubt return at some point. But even with that...
News Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai Overview Has Everything You Need to Know
Action RPG reveals all
A new overview trailer for Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai (we still can't believe how bad that name is) may just be exactly what you need to watch if you're even the least bit interested in the upcoming action RPG. The video covers the title's characters, combat system, and gameplay structure — and it's...
Poll Are You Sold on PlayStation Portal?
Another way to play?
The officially named PlayStation Portal is Sony's own dedicated remote play device, allowing you to stream your PS5 to what we think is a slick-looking handheld. Boasting an eight-inch 1080p screen alongside DualSense selling points like adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, actually sitting down with one of these things would...

Obviously, it's always been assumed that the patch will arrive ahead of the Phantom Liberty expansion on the 26th September, since the DLC incorporates a lot of the new systems and mechanics — like...

News Persona-Inspired Eternights Launches a Little Earlier Than Planned on PS5, PS4

Eternights, the Persona-inspired action game (with a heavy emphasis on character relationships), has actually brought its release date forward. It was originally set for the 21st September, but now, it's launching nine days earlier, on the 12th September. And honestly, that's probably a good thing, because the...
Mass Effect still in pre-production
Some unfortunate news from Mass Effect and Dragon Age developer BioWare: the studios has announced that it'll be "eliminating approximately 50 roles", in an attempt to reshape the company for the better. "In order to meet the needs of our upcoming projects, continue to hold ourselves to the highest standard of...
News Final Fantasy 16 Sales Have Been 'Fine', Nothing More, Nothing Less
Fine, just... Fine
There's been a lot of debate over Final Fantasy 16 and its sales numbers. Whether it's because of tiresome fanboy wars on social media (Final Fantasy 16 is currently a PS5 exclusive, remember), Square Enix's long history of being disappointed in its products, expectations that have been set by previous Final Fantasy titles, or,...

Mini Review Red Dead Redemption (PS4) - Classic Open World Western Deserves Better
There's always a choice
Red Dead Redemption. What a classic.

From the dusty beginnings of Armadillo to the bear-infested forests of Tall Trees, this...

A day after Granblue Fantasy: Relink
RPG fans will be eating good early next year, as Persona 3 Reload just got a confirmed release date.

See you at the arcade
Tekken 8 got a bit of an information blowout during Gamescom Opening Night Live.
