While we know that the impact engine version of FIFA 14 is certainly fine (perhaps great even), the forthcoming PS4 / Xbox ONE adaptation will feature the all-new ignite engine, which is said to be a big improvement in more ways than one.    The point is, the updated version of this ultra-popular soccer/football simulator franchise is perfectly poised to be the big breakthrough that EA has been pushing for.  Here are 10 specific aspects of the next-generation version of FIFA 14 that will be changing… 10. The Engine itself… As previously indicated, the ignite engine will be revolutionizing the game…

With another fine Christmas season barreling down upon us (and in the midst of a new console launch no less), holiday-themed programming is what’s on the menu.  Since the PS4 also doubles as a dedicated Blu-ray player why not give it a spin with some Christmas-themed film favorites? Many of the following movies aren’t what you’d call “traditional holiday fare”, but are perhaps set in and around the Christmas season.  Quite a few of the selections here are designed to suit the season though, we thought it best to try and cover all of our bases from family-oriented heartwarming stories…

Technological progress tends to come with a variety of other issues or shortcomings.  As far the PS4 is concerned, the size of certain impending games might register as a problem for some people.  Given that the standard PS4’s hard drive is going to be 500 GB (a fairly large drive to say the least) and the demands of the Blu-ray format, the need to upgrade might quickly become an avenue worth exploring.  Just imagine installing several 50 GB games, soon enough your entire hard drive is packed with data. Naturally, the next logical step here would be to just upgrade…

It’s harder to measure the current Amazon rank data in the US, as the PS4 is out-of-stock and the XBOX One is in stock. However, both consoles are in stock in the UK. The ranks for the XBOX One have just got even worse (see here), falling down to 34th place. The PlayStation 4 remains the best selling product within the PC & Video Games catogory. 

Prospective next generation gamers were somewhat disappointed by RockStar’s recent announcements stating that they have no plans to bring GTA V to the PS4 or Xbox ONE, but you know how that works – things often change very quickly when money’s on the table.  Given that Grand Theft Auto 5 is such a monumental hit, it only makes sense for people to assume that it’s eventually going to find its way onto a platform like the PS4, it seems…like an eventuality.  After all, someone did find a reference to the PS4’s codename “orbis” buried in the code of GTAV, so…

Scanning the headline above, the uninitiated might be prone to think that it refers to some famous celebrity needing to be more mindful of where they’re walking late at night after several drinks.   All puns aside, we’re talking video games here, not “awareness of local hazards” and it’s pretty obvious at this point that RockStar certainly seems to have some stiff competition in the new IP, “Watch Dogs”. Having more or less rose to the pinnacle of achievement for open world game development, RockStar games is most well-known for its mega-successful “Grand Theft Auto” franchise.  Throughout the course of the…

It’s no great secret that the PS4 might very well become perhaps the greatest console released in the history of gaming (up to this point), it does have the features, character, velocity and industry behind it pushing everything forward.  What many might not realize however is that the PS4 isn’t just a dynamite gaming machine, it’s also a vibrant home entertainment solution which might even be able to double as a substitute internet portal.  Seriously, with the PS4’s multitasking abilities (or being able to handle several applications, including a game, at once) the possibilities seem to be nearly limitless.  Here…

It’s often been said that a video game console is only as good as its top-tier titles.  Or, to put it another way; regardless of how technical and amazing your computer hardware is, without a few big games that can really show it off it’s just not that interesting.  Needless to say, the PlayStation brand has had no shortage of great titles in its catalog.  From incredible multi-console ports to exclusives, each PlayStation console has had its very own mega-hits which helped to shape user experience with each machine.  Moreover, most of these games happened to be launch titles, which…

With all of the games coming out for PS4, both Watch Dogs and DriveClub are two titles that are certainly looking to be two of the best. However, both titles have now been delayed, which has generated much disappointment in the gaming world. DriveClub is an exclusive title too, which makes the disappointment even greater. DriveClub will now hit selves in 2014; it was set to be released along with the PlayStation 4 on November 15th. Keep up-to-date with the latest games by using our PS4 games list. You can keep track of all the PS4 games from UK /…

It was only last week when we reported an Amazon increase of over £50 for the PS4. Three days later they dropped the price back to £349.99. Now Amazon has dropped the price of their PS4 bundles. Bundle 1: PlayStation 4 + Killzone: Shadow Fall – £384.99 (Before: £389) Bundle 2: PlayStation 4 + Watch Dogs – £384.99 (Before: £389) Bundle 3: PlayStation 4 + Killzone: Shadow Fall + Battlefield 4 – £424.99 (Before: £429) Bundle 4: PlayStation 4 + Killzone: Shadow Fall + Need For Speed: Rivals – £424.99 (Before: £429) Bundle 5: PlayStation 4 + Killzone: Shadow Fall…

Many GAME stores were greeted by dummy units of the PlayStation 4 this morning. The units give customers a first-hand view of the consoles appearance. Sadly, as these are dummy units, consumers aren’t able to test drive the console. The images are courtesy of GAME twitter accounts which reported the news.

As the upcoming console war begins to heat up, legendary video game developer Valve is keen on bringing its own machine to the fight. Over the course of the last 5 – 10 years we’ve seen monumental shifts within the video game industry.  In fact, technology in general seems to be growing, evolving and shifting on an unprecedented scale; naturally, one of the most immediate areas where this can be felt is in the area of console design. As far as Sony (or even Microsoft, for that matter) is concerned, their PS4 is a stunning achievement, and rightly so; it…

The “Thief” series is one which spans multiple titles, platforms and development studios, through it all however, the basic aim of the franchise remains unchanged – to deliver exciting stealth / action gameplay.  However, rather than being a by-rote plunge into the past, the Thief universe firmly plants itself into shall we say, “steampunk” territory.  The end result is that you’re left with a format which is at once fresh as well as intriguing. The latest entry in the series, which is well on its way to completion, is nothing less than a full reboot of the entire series.  But…

Thatgamecompany’s award winning indie PSN game, Journey, will be released on PlayStation 4. Developer Thatgamecompany replied to a question on their Twitter page, someone asked if Journey would be coming to PS4. Thatgamecompany’s response: “It is, but we don’t have any details, as we’re not involved with the developing or marketing of it.” So, it looks as though the journey has only just begun, and its next stop is on the PlayStation 4!

While the Nintendo dynasty is often seen as the driving force behind the movement to put video game consoles in every home, it could be argued that it was Sony’s PlayStation that truly turned the world on its ear.  Up until that time, if you wanted to play a video game you were either plugging in some old relic which could only display a few solid colors and crude pixilated shapes on screen at a time or taking a trip down the street to the local arcade.  However, when consoles came onto the scene they made it possible for a…

Amazon UK have just increased the pre-order price for the PS4 (see here). Does this suggest that stocks are starting to run dry? If you’re from the US, you’ll find it difficult to find a retailer that isn’t currently out of stock, check out our import ps4 article on how to use international retailers to guarantee a PS4. Whilst the console is already over £100 ($160) more than the USA retail price, international demand is increasing as USA retailers are currently out of stock. Does this suggest increased pre-orders from abroad? What ever the reason, if you haven’t already pre-ordered,…

Although we love to think of video game consoles as wonderful all-in-one devices which deliver streaming mixed-media and even allow us to connect to social media, the truth is that we mostly want to play games on them.  Sure, it’s really cool that the PS4 has all of these interesting new apps and general capabilities, but at the end of the day we want to see some absolutely fantastic titles flashing across our televisions.  You can point to every single console that’s ever been developed and released for clear evidence – each one of them features at least a dozen…

You’d think that Japanese consumers would get the PlayStation 4 first, right? After all, Sony is Japanese. Interestingly, the PlayStation 4 won’t be available in Japan until February 2014 (after the US and European launch). Using the internet to pre-order consoles is slowly becoming the norm in Japan. However, there are still many hardcore fans that prefer to take the traditional option. Pre-orders for the PS4 begin today in Japan, and you’ll already find a queue starting to form (4 months before release) at many of the gaming shops for those wanting to get their name down first. The Japanese…

Can’t find the right deal on a PS4? Everywhere out of stock? How about importing? This is a guide for Prospective importers for both UK and USA residents. Along with wanting the newest and most appealing high-tech toys, we all generally want to get the best deal on the items we purchase, correct?  Even at a cost of around £349 via Amazon UK you’re talking about a significant investment here, so it makes sense to try to locate the absolute lowest price available.  Since the PS4 is also going to be truly region-free (meaning that the games / content for…

If you’re on the look out for the complete PS4 console bundle, then you should probably look know further than the PS4 Mega Pack Bundle. Announced recently by Sony, this bundle has just appeared for pre-order at GameSeek for the price of £449.99. The package includes the console, two PS4 Dual Shock 4 Controllers, Killzone 4 Shadow Fall, and the PS4 Camera. If you’ve already pre-ordered a different package from Gameseek and would prefer this package, then you can alter your order without losing your original place in the queue. GAME have also recently announced the same package, however, it…

What new possibilities will be opened to game developers with the PS4? Also, what innovations might we expect within future video games as a result? Much has already been written about the somewhat upgraded “approachability” of the PS4 where game production is concerned.  The common understanding here is that the PlayStation 4 is going to be a much more “friendly” platform for game developers to work with.  In other words, there seem to be far fewer barriers to surmount – starting from the point where you’re staring at a completely blank slate, moving through the final processes and eventually rolling…

Even though the PlayStation 4 is without a doubt one of the most powerful and fully-featured consoles to ever be released (up to this point), you are still probably going to need to add some peripheral devices to it.  Some add-ons will enhance your overall relationship with the console; while others might actually alter the way you play and approach playing games entirely.  Perhaps you just like to “trick out” your consoles, see just how far you can take things in order to create the ultimate gaming environment?  Whatever the reason, the PS4 already has a number of accessories available…

(Updated 05/10/2013) Perhaps one of the greatest things about the release of a new gaming console is that you can count on specific bundles to be made available for individual types of gamers.  Admit it, there’s something slightly magical about tearing open that packaging, laying your eyes on the device for the first time, and of course, loading up that initial game.  Even if you’re a fairly “well traveled” gamer, the satisfaction experienced when delving into that fancy new console on the first day of its release seems to conjure up the kind of giddiness you might have experienced as…

Will GTA V be released on PlayStation 4? If so, when? These are two questions that PS4 fans want desperately answering. Amazon Germany listed the game for pre-order earlier today; however, it was later taken down. Was this a simple mistake? Or was it a leak to take seriously? The game is clearly displayed within the PS4’s blue box, maybe this is a sign that GTA V will be heading for PS4 sooner than we anticipated.
