As we approach the year’s end, this time has recently started to bring about two traditions for gaming enthusiasts: The Game Awards and PlayStation Experience. Both bring about their fair share of hype and announcements, but the latter has often done a solid job at preparing PS4 owners for the year ahead, particularly in regards to Sony’s plans for their first-party titles. Heading into 2018, Sony has a potential-filled lineup of varied titles, primarily from studios that have reared their heads after years in silence. While the publisher has hinted at some of their reveals inbound next week over in Anaheim, there’s still plenty more to speculate upon for eight of the PS4’s biggest releases.
Hiding deep within the frozen hellscape of the Eternal Wastelands lie the keys to victory. Long sealed tombs contain powerful artifacts you can use to turn the tide of war to your favor. You must gather your allies and prepare for a grueling trip through harsh and unforgiving environments, battling against the world’s most fearsome denizens. Beware of waiting too long, as your coveted treasure may be stolen by enemy factions before you ever arrive. Of course, you can always take it from their cold, dead hand
It’s been a month since we announced our newest title, Ghost of Tsushima. Here at Sucker Punch, we’ve watched so many reaction videos and read many of your comments with smiles on our faces, so we thought PSX was a great opportunity to share a little more with you
IGN’s Podcast Beyond crew is here to figure out the 10 best PlayStation games ever, and they need your help! Uncharted 2 or The Last of Us? Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII, or Castlevania: Symphony of the Night? Journey or Shadow of the Colossus? Is it too soon for Horizon Zero Dawn to make the list? Help us build the best of the best that PlayStation has to offer. Help us celebrate 20+ years of PlayStation at
For those looking for an even more thorough analysis, however, research firm SuperData has quickly made a name for itself in video games due to the company’s willingness to examine more online-oriented data like microtransaction sales and the like. Recently, SuperData finally released its findings for the September 2016 period, and it appears that the dominance of some of gaming’s biggest titles will not be broken easily – Pokemon GO , Destiny , and League of Legends topped the cash grossing charts for mobile, console, and PC gaming respectiv
The developer also shared that the environments shown in the teaser trailer of the game were in-game, and one rather wide shot shows a very extensive vista. This appears to indicate that they haven’t scaled the world down all that much. Assuming that the mountain in the picture is the highest peak on the island (Mount Yatate) seen across Aso Bay, we could be looking at 1:5 to 1:10 scale, but that’s just me trying to eyeball it, so take it with a massive grain of s
Join us as we celebrate the Uncharted 10th Anniversary look at here PSX 2017 with an unprecedented gathering of the cast from throughout the series! Nolan North, Emily Rose, Richard McGonagle, Claudia Black, Laura Bailey, Troy Baker, Graham McTavish, and Robin-Atkin Downes reflect on the series and share their memories with guest moderator Greg Miller (Kinda Funny). We’ll also be hosting a special signing session with the cast prior to the panel. Keep an eye on the PlayStation Experience app for time and locat
Of note, despite not being particularly close to the first spot on either platform, Blizzard’s Overwatch is making steady progress on both console and PC, making the top 10 list for both and finishing ahead of DOTA 2 on PC. Overwatch ‘s community has been praised very highly over the course of its brief existence, and its dedicated playerbase makes it a looming threat that could usurp other games on similar lists in the near fut
On the mobile platform, the continued dominance of Pokemon GO is also the most unsurprising, as the title’s status of global phenomenon has not been in jeopardy despite the development team’s slow response time in updating or implementing key design features. Pokemon GO sits comfortably ahead of its compatriots on mobile, much like League of Legends does its competitors on PC – World of Warcraft is the closest to Riot’s cash cow, with the nearest genre competitor being DOTA 2 a full six ranks behind Leag
Even though SuperData’s reports confirm more of the same kind of results video game fans have come to expect in 2016, there are still a number of interesting insights to be gleaned from what the firm has found. Bolstered by sales that were stronger than Destiny ‘s initial launch period, the release of Destiny: Rise of Iron in September rocketed Bungie’s shooter to the top of the console charts over traditionally dominant fall releases like FIFA
Announced back at E3 2016 from the long dormant Sony Bend Studio, fans have been able to see multiple substantial demos from the open-world apocalypse game despite the title having no release period yet to be attached to it. Days Gone skipped last year’s PSX event, and with no confirmed panels or playable demos, a similar fate could likely befall Sony’s less anticipated zombie title. At best, fans could expect a trailer that perhaps dives further into the story and characters that Sony Bend has kept mum on thus far.
