It just wouldn’t be a video game event without a trailer. So here’s a trailer for the PS4. Which, before you scoff too deeply, actually serves as a pretty handy visual recap of everything that went down yesterday
Sony’s PlayStation 4 reveal earlier this evening was one of the stranger console announcements I can remember. We heard from a ton of developers, but some big ones didn’t have anything concrete to show or talk about. We saw a lot of games, but many were games we already knew about. And we heard all…
If you were expecting a next-gen shooter on the PS4 to look a lot like it would on the PS3, only shinier, well, congratulations. You were right. Killzone: Shadow Fall is the next game in Guerilla’s series, and a gameplay video was shown at Sony’s PS4 unveiling earlier this evening. Most images here appear to…
Xbox spokesman Major Nelson weighs in on the PS4 conference. Shots fired!
“What is this article doing here?” you may be asking right now. “I mean what on earth?? This has nothing to do with the PlayStation 4!” Yeah, well, it’s time for the nightly off-topic post, and DAMN IT, WE’RE STILL DOING IT. Everyone looking forward to Game of Thrones season 3? Cool. I am too.…
Capcom’s always-adorable Yoshinori Ono has made an appearance at Sony’s PS4 unveiling to announce Deep Down (working title), a new IP. It’s based on a new Capcom engine codenamed Panta Rhei, and has dudes in armour fighting huge dragons. Well, until the end, when things get weirdly sci-fi. More pics below.
After years of speculation and rumours, Sony finally unveiled the PlayStation 4 tonight. While the console itself was kept under wraps, we do get to take a good look at the system’s controller with these official product shots. For the first time in PlayStation history, the controller has been significantly redesigned, retaining only the most…
Today we got a healthy dose of next-gen information, delivered to us by a bevy of excited, breathless developers and publishers. Here’s the thing: not a single one of the presenters at the PlayStation 4 event were women, and people noticed. It’s not something folks are happy about, either. This is a french Vita ad,…
Well, that was weird. We got a console reveal without Sony actually revealing the console. It’s left a lot of people confused, maybe even concerned, so given the chance we had to ask: where was the PS4? “Why do you care?” jokes Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony’s Worldwide Studios. Pressed as to what we should…
We’ve been speculating and spilling them for months, but Sony has finally revealed, at least partially, the basic spec sheet for the PS4. It’s… very basic, but as you can see, there’s 8GB of memory, a hard drive and an x86 CPU. We knew many of these specs (and then some) earlier, but there was…
Sure, it was fun to watch today’s PlayStation 4 reveal from the comfort of your own home. But that was while it was going on. When it ended, the cameras cut away. What if you’d actually attended the event, what would it be like after the big show was over? Our own Stephen Totilo, Evan…
The PS4’s new controller—officially dubbed the DualShock 4—is going to be working in tandem with a new camera, called the PlayStation 4 Eye. We’ve shown you images of these already, but if you want to get right into the technical specs—and with the camera, that might be worth your while—here they are. DualShock 4 External…
One of the surprises at tonight’s PlayStation 4 reveal was the announcement that Blizzard’s previously PC-only Diablo III will be coming to both PS4 and PS3 This has led plenty of disgruntled Diablo III players to make themselves heard on Blizzard’s official forums. While many simply voice disappointment about seeing a PC exclusive ported to…
The PS4 will not feature backwards compatibility with older PlayStation titles, according to today’s PlayStation 4 conference. Instead, Sony will use cloud gaming to allow the system to access older PlayStation back catalogue. No details as of yet in regards to whether or not we’ll be able to play games we already own. As we…
To go with the new PS4 controller, Sony also made brief mention tonight of a new camera that will also be released with the system. A revamped and improved version of Sony’s camera tech, it’ll serve as both a regular camera (for video purposes) while also tracking the movement of the new PS4 pad via…
Destiny will be out for PlayStation 4, developer Bungie announced today. Both the PS3 and PS4 versions will launch simultaneously, the developers said.

Diablo 3 is coming to PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, Blizzard just announced. The console version will include new controls and a four-player single-screen co-op mode.

In a presentation by Ubisoft at the PlayStation 4 event, they talked a little bit about their upcoming title, Watch Dogs—which we reported as likely coming to next gen consoles last week. According to the presentation, you’ll be able to control all sorts of things—like traffic, and folk’s personal information. We saw a little bit…
No real news yet, but Square Enix’s Shinji Hashimoto took the stage at today’s PS4 event to say they’re working on a Final Fantasy game, and that we should “please be excited for E3 this year.” That’s it. Square also showed off a video of the same “Luminous Engine” tech demo we saw last year.…
More news from today’s PlayStation 4 event: the ongoing tyranny of the polygon. No, but seriously though: here’s Media Molecule on their latest project, which uses the move controller as a sculpting tool. It looks crazy cool for you creative types. Watch footage above!
