Neil Druckmann, creative director at Naughty Dog, told Shack News then that the violence players would encounter in The Last of Us wasn’t perfunctory, but served a purpose. The trailer is violent, but it’s justified; none of that justification exists in The Last of Us Part 2’s trailer, where violence simply exists. Naughty Dog did put forth extra effor

Sony teased that “E3 was only half the story” and today, it kicked off a nearly two-hour event from Paris Games Week, revealing the latest PlayStation news, trailers and announcements. The PlayStation VR action game is inspired by the studio’s previous action game experiment, The London Heist, according to its creators.

Sony dropped a new trailer for The Last of Us Part 2 to cap off its Paris Games Week press event. But one remains the biggest:Is that woman Ellie’s mom? It’s Ellie’s mom, Anna.

In a statement provided to Polygon, CCP said that as a result it will be restructuring its studios worldwide. “We have been front and center in the seco

Sony previously announced that Shadow of the Colossus will run at 30 fps on a standard PS4, and at 4K and 30 fps on PS4 Pro. Sony didn’t officially announce 60 fps support during Paris Games Week, and it appears the company was holding back that announcement for a later date. Outside of a refined, optional control scheme and a visual o

Pokémon Go’s big Halloween update could bring some exciting changes to the game, based on findings from big-time dataminers in The Silph Road guild. Also included in the new assets are several Pokémon from the third-generation games: Dusclops, Duskull, Sableye, Shuppet and Bannette.
