People Want To Know Why Sony Forgot About The Vita

You’d be forgiven for thinking, if you watched today’s Sony Gamescom conference, that Sony has already given up on the PlayStation Vita. Sony’s 80-minute presser was all PS4, without much mention of their underappreciated handheld. In fact, the Vita even lost an exclusive—Tearaway—giving gamers one less reason to buy an expensive new portable system. It’s…

Resogun‘s Creators Are Making A Game About Aliens For PS4

Resogun developer Housemarque just revealed a top-down co-op alien shooter that sees players blasting hundreds of aliens into strawberry mush. At the same time.

One Of The Vita’s Best Games Is Coming To PS4

Tearaway, the unsung hero of the PlayStation Vita, is finally making its way to the PlayStation 4, Sony just revealed during its Gamescom press conference.

Teen Horror Game Until Dawn Moves To PS4

Eight unsuspecting kids. A barrage of fucked up homicidal horror. You’ve got to keep them alive. Until Dawn was originally revealed for PlayStation 3 a couple years ago, but it never came out.

Shadow Of Mordor Is Looking Pretty Epic

A Lord of The Rings game needs to feel epic. Like, gigantic armies and hordes of spiky armor-encrusted villains and dudes fighting on top of towers-level epic. Of all the trailers for Shadow of Mordor I’ve seen so far, this new one Sony dropped during its Gamescom presser hit the best note in this regard.…

Far Cry 4 Gameplay Goes To Seriously Unexpected Places

A snow-capped Himalayan mountain? Yeah, sure, I figured we’d get there eventually. The mythical spirit realm of Shangri-La? OK, Far Cry 4, you’ve got my attention.

Is that Kai?! Is this what we’ve hoped for? A sequel for Heavenly Sword? At the very least, it looks like the new game from Ninja Theory shares lot of DNA with Heavenly Sword. We’ll have to wait and see if this is an actual continuation of the PS3 launch game’s mythos. Update: More details…

In The Tomorrow Children, Humanity’s Screwed if We Don’t Work Together

Just unveiled at Gamescom, the next game from the makers of the Pixeljunk series is focused on co-operation. Better work on your manners. The Tomorrow Children looks like it’s got elements of crafting, class-based strategy and structure-building, wrapped inside a claymation cartoon aesthetic. Doesn’t seem like anything Q-Games has ever done.
