It fills you with determination.

For PS4 owners, Undertale is still a relatively new title. We’ve had it on Sony’s system for just over a year now, but it looks like the game’s creator, Toby Fox, is ready to start talking about his next project. A mysterious series of tweets has appeared on the game’s official Twitter page, and while nothing is formally announced, it seems likely we’ll be hearing about the next game in the series tomorrow.

The undeniable success of this title means that an Undertale 2 is probably on the cards, but the tweets suggest there will be at least some fan input on Fox’s direction. The Twitter account states that it’ll be asking people a number of questions, the answers to which will be used in creating the new game, whatever it turns out to be.

Launching faerie soon.

An announcement that felt a little glossed over at this E3 was for FromSoftware’s first virtual reality game, namely Déraciné. A new post for the PlayStation VR exclusive title has been published on the PlayStation Blog, highlighting the game’s story and how you play, and it sounds like it’ll be an emotional adventure.

You play as a faerie who inhabits a boarding school, trapped in a realm where time doesn’t move. Invisible to the children, you’ll be exploring the environment and piecing together information on the characters as you begin to form a relationship with them.

The sky’s the limit.

In case you weren’t aware, Game Informer has been providing a ton of coverage for Media Molecule’s outrageously ambitious new title, Dreams. The make-anything creation game is a bafflingly powerful thing that we can’t wait to see in the hands of the community, and the recent new information continues to impress. The publication has also just uploaded a new video interview with the studio head Siobhan Reddy and creative director Mark Healey where they delve into some questions from fans.

A lot of the questions pertain to quite specific gameplay stuff, and as always, the answer to most of these is “Yes.” The developer confirmed that you’ll be able to make procedurally generated games, support save progress between your levels, and animate in minute detail. It’s worth listening to the full interview, as there are some fascinating tidbits for those looking forward to the game.

Deeper and down.

The Abyss, the latest big update for No Man’s Sky, is out today on PlayStation 4. It brings a load of improvements to the game, and focuses on underwater habitats as well as aquatic alien life. You can expect new story stuff, new building structures, new creatures, and even overhauled swimming and diving controls. Very nice.

Anyway, you can find all of the details in the launch trailer, which we’ve embedded above. Needless to say, we’re happy to see that No Man’s Sky is still expanding and building upon its ideas. At this point it really is a different game to the divisive title that released back in 2016.

Eat that.

God Eater 3 is heading West next year, Bandai Namco has confirmed. The action role-playing game sequel is due to release in Japan this December, but thankfully, in North America and Europe, the title will only be a couple of months behind.

The 8th February is the date that you’ll want to mark on your calendar, adding to an already packed first few months of PlayStation 4 gaming in 2019. Oh, and if you didn’t already know, God Eater 3 will feature dual audio here in the West, meaning that you can switch between English and Japanese voices whenever you like.

The classic case of a console being too good.

Everyone remembers the PSone differently, and that’s perhaps the beauty of it. While the Nintendo 64 was defined by Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and the Xbox was defined by Halo: Combat Evolved and, well, Halo 2, Sony has always cast its net so wide that you rarely get the same answers twice. There are recurring names – Crash Bandicoot! Spyro the Dragon! Tomb Raider! Metal Gear Solid! Final Fantasy VII! – but so eclectic was the Japanese giant’s first console that it was never going to please absolutely everyone with its upcoming PlayStation Classic mini-console. Just take a look at Twitter right now, as social media inferno rages over… Brave Fencer Musashi?

For me the PlayStation was all about Dino Crisis and Theme Hospital; for others it’s Final Fantasy Tactics, Suikoden, and Chrono Cross. And I think this is the underlying point: the PlayStation Classic, with just 20 games available in its roster, was never going to please absolutely everyone. There are high-profile absentees, of that there’s no doubt – but Gran Turismo, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, and WipEout were never going to make the grade due to licensing issues, and honestly I never expected Crash or Spyro given the existence of the PlayStation 4 remakes.

Where to pre-order the mini PSone.

Sony’s announced the PlayStation Classic’s full games lineup, a pint-sized PSone console with a bunch of games pre-loaded. The mini machine is set to release on 3rd December 2018, and pre-order pages are beginning to pop up across the web. But where can you buy the PlayStation Classic? Here’s a quick guide on the mini machine and how to pre-order one.

What is the PlayStation Classic?

PlayStation Classic is a miniaturised version of the original PlayStation — 45% smaller, to be precise. Rather than functioning as a full-blown console, the system has been pre-loaded with 20 of the best PSone games. You can’t play your own games on PlayStation Classic, as the disc drive doesn’t function and is too small to carry CDs. Instead, you simply plug the console into your TV and a USB power supply, and you’ll have access to the 20 on-board games. It also comes with two full-size, original style PSone controllers for that extra retro feel.

Bloody good.

Vampyr, the gloomy action role-playing game that launched earlier this year in June, has done very well for itself commercially, according to publisher Focus Home Interactive. The company’s latest earnings report highlights “tremendous success throughout the second quarter” for Dontnod Entertainment’s title. When it released, it managed to top the charts in the UK, France, Germany, and other countries, but it’s worth noting that it launched during a rather dry period.

Canis Canem Edit.

Rockstar hasn’t forgotten about Bully, because there’s a clear reference to the developer’s much loved PlayStation 2 title in Red Dead Redemption 2. The spoiler-free version is that the phrase ‘Canis Canem Edit’ appears rather blatantly at one point in the open world adventure — Canis Canem Edit being the name Bully was released under here in Europe. It means Dog Eats Dog in Latin.

But there’s virtually nothing to go on.

Sony brings together developers every year for the annual PlayStation DevCon, and 2018’s incarnation will take place in London – presumably at the platform holder’s headquarters, unless it’s booked out a swanky business room. And this is the problem: despite PlayStation 5 reports all over the web, we don’t actually know anything about the event.

A website reveals that registrations for the convention are now closed, and there’s no information on when it will take place, who will be attending, and what the sessions will involve. Some people think that the manufacturer may brief those in the audience on its next generation console, and while it’s certainly possible, we simply can’t infer anything from the information we have.
