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.

By now you’ve undoubtedly seen some of the absolutely stellar and riveting gameplay footage from Ubisoft’s “Watch Dogs”. Needless to say, it’s one of those games where it seems like there are endless opportunities awaiting us inside a massive and very realistic city. Combining the more successful elements from several franchises, Watch Dogs might even end up being one of the initial mega-sellers which ends up further pushing PS4 sales higher (yes, the game actually looks that good). At this point, one might even be inclined to remark that “Watch Dogs” is taking the basic GTA formula, turning it on…
Don’t feel bad, Microsoft had a good thing going and they basically “dropped the ball” with their Xbox ONE marketing strategy. Don’t think of yourself as a deserter or turncoat though, brand loyalty is one thing, but when a company steps across the line and starts making consumers uncomfortable, well, maybe it IS time to jump ship. In fact, the reasons to switch over to the PS4 and Sony from the Xbox 360 and MS are numerous. First off, you have the digital rights management policy stuff to think about, which is still an issue on PS4, although perhaps less…
While it would be easy to believe that only the absolute best ideas get turned into games (which in theory might go on to become big hits), the truth is, some of the most intriguing concepts never see the light of day. With each successive console (generation) there are plenty of specific examples of titles being “snuffed out” before their time, even with ample numbers of eager fans on board. The point is, you’ve probably already encountered this phenomenon already with a game that you had been waiting and hoping developers would be able to push into post-production. Often times…

It has been revealed that Sony is ready to enter the virtual reality gaming arena for the PlayStation 4. The headset was due to be showcased at Gamescom, however, it was decided that the headset should be unveiled sometime next year. It has been suggested that Oculus, the company behind the Oculus Rift, could be acquired by Sony. However, this seems unlikely as Sony are said to be ready to launch their own virtual reality headset. Oculus showed off their Rift HD headset at Gamescom. Sony already has the HMZ-T2 personal 3D viewer, which can be used for HD movies…
The French Amazon website has already listed a special bundle which includes, Killzone Shadow Fall, a second Dual Shock 4 controller and the PlayStation 4 Camera. The bundle is priced at 499,99 Euros, which is around £425. Fergal Gara, Sony UK Chief said at Gamescom “We’re tremendously happy with our overall value proposition, whether that be the entry price point of the machine [or] the detailed bundles and combinations that we will put on shelf at retail which we haven’t fleshed out in detail as yet.” The above statement suggests that it wont be long before special bundles hit shelves…
If there’s only one thing that could dampen all of the excitement surrounding next-gen gaming, then it would have to be the uncertainty about GTA V and the PlayStation 4. The uncertainty has left many asking, will GTA V feature on PS4? If so, when? It would be hard to imagine that GTA V wouldn’t release on the PlayStation 4 at some point. A recent tweet from Sony got plenty of attention, which said, “GTA V is going to be amazing, especially on the PS4!”. Sadly, the tweet was nothing more than a typo, according to Rockstar. Rockstar’s response, “Apologies…

Whenever it comes time to begin courting the idea of purchasing that new console some significant questions tend to arise. As many of you are no doubt already aware, the PS4 is poised to be one of the most exciting console releases in history and since we can’t simply jump into a time machine and experience it for ourselves, we can only mull over the specifications, tidbits of information and interesting titles which have been announced. Aside from things like costs (which we’ll cover in a minute), there are a whole host of concerns related to hardware, software, subscriptions as…
Regardless of how powerful or just plain awesome a gaming console is, let’s face it – they’re pretty much useless unless there are some premium titles designed for it. You know…the types of games that are really a cut above in terms of their graphics, sound, style, feel and overall creativity. Since the official release of the PS4 is just around the corner, we thought it might be a good idea to introduce you to some of the better examples which will also be coming your way soon (either as a launch title or soon-to-be-released). Before you think about games…
Day 3 of GamesCom 2013 (only counting those days which are open to the public) was all about EA’s behemoth PS4 launch title, Battlefield 4.

All in all, this 2nd day of GamesCom (open to the public, that is) played host to a lot of interesting games, including those of which details are just now emerging. Naturally, the displays for some of the top tier launch titles are still prominently featured and wowing fans and prospective PS4 buyers alike as well. Let’s delve into some of the notables from Day…
