Porting a game from PS3 to PS4 is no simple task. Sure, one might imagine that you just bump up the resolution and put it on a new disc, but…no. As The Last of Us creative director Neil Druckmann puts it in this new EDGE feature, “We expected it to be Hell, and it was…

Bioshock Doesn’t Need To Be An FPS

Isometric RPGs will have an exciting year ahead. Just think about Pillars of Eternity or Torment: Tides of Numenera.

‘Bong Animation Did Not Sync Properly’ And Other GTA V Patch Notes

Software patch notes usually make for dry reading. Other times, as with The Sims, they’re pure poetry.

PS4 Shooters Are Getting Pretty Weird

Sony has long had a gaping, Killzone-sized hole in its roster of PlayStation exclusive titles.

If a…
