  • Rumour: Will the Crash Team Racing PS4 Remake Drift Onstage at The Game Awards?

    It’s happening?

    We’ve been half-expecting a remake of Crash Team Racing due to the success of Vicarious Visions’ Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. It’d be very welcome; a return of one of PlayStation’s best kart racers would not only be popular among fans, it’d also fill a gap in the market for a quality arcading racing title on PS4. Well, if this is what Eurogamer says it is, we could very well be getting it.

    Hollie of PlayStation Access received this pair of orange, fluffy dice, accompanied by a message: “Sliding into the Game Awards 6/12… – Anonymous”. Eurogamer says it believes it’s a tease for a Crash Team Racing remake, and that it’s legitimate. Now that we think about it, we’re struggling to think of what else orange furry dice could be referring to, and considering Activision sent out purple eggs before the announcement of Spyro: Reignited Trilogy, this all sort of lines up.

  • PS Now December Update Adds a Whopping 50 PS4 Games

    Christmas has come early.

    Sony’s adding 50 new games to PlayStation Now for the subscription service’s big December update. As the PlayStation Blog points out, For Honor is a highlight, and it arrives alongside a bunch of other PlayStation 4 titles. It’s worth reiterating that thanks to the addition of game downloads — which were introduced back in September — you can now download most PS4 titles rather than stream them.

  • Persona 5 and Persona 3 Dancing DLC Lineup Costs More Than Both Games Put Together

  • Round Up: Just Cause 4 Reviews Forecast Sunny Skies

    Weathering the storm.

    The last major game release of 2018 is Just Cause 4, which launches on PS4 today. In terms of critical reception, it’s doing fairly well for itself so far, amassing a metascore of 75 (for the PC release, anyway) and receiving praise for its new weather system and improvisational combat. We’ll deliver our very own verdict soon, but in the meantime, here’s how Rico’s latest adventure has fared with other outlets.

    TheSixthAxis – 8/10

    Just Cause 4 is the best entry in the series to date, offering spectacular free-wheeling destruction on a scale that’s not been attempted before. Rico remains one of gaming’s most enjoyable protagonists, but more than ever before, it’s really all about what he’s capable of doing rather than the events unfolding around him.

    The PS4 Slim is… slimmer, quieter and smaller

    The PS4 Slim launched in September 2016 for around £259 (500GB) or £310 (1TB) and has now replaced the original fatter PS4. The new console is smaller, lighter, more power efficient and cheaper than the remaining stock of the older PlayStation 4 deals nowadays, so you’re not paying more for the refined tech. We’d advise you check out the cheap PS4 bundles further down this page as many of them are cheaper than buying the console on its own or you can get a lot more for a spending a bit extra on top.

    The PS4 that offers 4K gaming and Netflix

    Essentially, the PS4 Pro is a 4K upgrade of the current PS4, rather than a ‘next-gen’ console. The keywords to take in from the PS4 Pro are 4K and HDR. The new machine allows game developers to include 4K resolution and High Dynamic Range options in their games, so expect the like of Uncharted 4, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Days Gone, Horizon: Zero Dawn and more to look even better on a HDR-enabled 4K TV. You’ll also be able to stream 4K content from Netflix and Amazon. Want to get the right TV? Then check out our cheap 4K TV deals page. We’ve seen big discounts as Sony fights off the latest Xbox One X deals too.

    If you’re buying a PS4, you’ll probably need a cheap PlayStation Plus deal too. PlayStation Plus (aka PS Plus or PS+) allows you to play PS4 games online, along with access to the Instant Game Collection, a bunch of free games for PS4, PS3 and Vita each month. The default price for a year is £50. We can do better than that though, so check out our selection of the best PlayStation Plus deals.

The vehicular combat series first started out on the PC in 1997 and was later ported to multiple other platforms. It also received a number of follow-up titles including a reboot in 2015.

    Nintendo gamers will most-likely remember the series for the 1999 release Carmageddon 64, handled by Software Creations. It was considered as one of the worst N64 titles of all-time. The publisher behind the port – Titus – was also responsible for the release of Superman 64.

  • Developer Of Turn-Based Tactical Adventure Mutant Year Zero Will Consider A Switch Port “Soon”

    Make it happen.

    The turn-based tactical genre has had somewhat of a resurgence in recent years. The Swedish development team known as The Bearded Ladies is continuing this trend, with its latest release Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden.
