Limited Edition Star Wars Darth Vader PS4 bundles coming in November

When we showed the brand new Darth Vader Star Wars Edition of the PS4 yesterday, we knew it was going to be a bit pricey compared to a standard edition.

Continue reading Shocking price unveiled for the Battlefront Darth Vader PS4

Limited Edition Star Wars Darth Vader PS4 bundles coming in November

“The Force is strong with this one.” Or is it? I really can’t decide if the new Darth Vader flavoured PS4 console looks great or tacky. The new controller and its effort to incorporate ol smokey’s suit buttons is seriously hard to look at though (see below). There’s more than a paint job though, Star Wars fans. Let’s take a look at what else is bundled with the new PS4. Continue reading Limited Edition Star Wars Darth Vader PS4 bundles coming in November

Big Hero 6 are coming to Kingdom Hearts III

The new generation of Disney films are continuing their march into the world of Kingdom Hearts III. We’ve previously had confirmation the world of Tangled will be visited by Sora, Donald and Goofy, but here’s something to cheer us up before those bastards from Frozen get involved – Big Hero 6.

Big Hero 6 was a great success at the cinemas. Set in the fantastically imagined San Fransokyo, the story saw a young boy inventor become a super hero by creating a suit of armour. He also made a suit for the ever lovable Baymax, a white humanoid shaped blog, amusingly squeezed into his own power-armour. Together they teamed up with a series of fellow super hero wannabes to take on one of your typical business tyrants. Continue reading Big Hero 6 are coming to Kingdom Hearts III

PS4 firmware update 3.0 contents leaked?

It’s been a while since any new features have been added via a firmware update to the PS4, but that could all be set to change with the arrival of 3.0 if a leaked report from Japanese testers turns out to be true.

One of the main highlights (which has been on the cards since launch) is the ability to broadcast gameplay to YouTube, which will be great news for gamers who don’t fancy using Twitch. Community groups can be formed to chat or join parties, which could be a convenient way to sort out a raiding party from people outside of your friends list in Destiny -a great alternative to having to set it up on Bungie’s forums first (or Bungie, could just add some goddamn matchmaking to their game!).  Continue reading PS4 firmware update 3.0 contents leaked?

Cyberpunk 2077 getting priority over Witcher IV

Chances are you’re still enjoying The Witcher III: Wild Hunt, but you may want to take your time with it a bit. After the work on the upcoming expansion DLC is completed, CD Projekt Red are going to give the series a rest to work on other projects. Given the quote below from September’s issue of Game Informer Magazine, it seems highly likely they’re going to throw their weight behind Cyberpunk 2077, a game originally announced back in 2013. Continue reading Cyberpunk 2077 getting priority over Witcher IV
