Sony have already said that they're planning to treat Gamescom as another E3, and, if that's not just PR speak, we can expect to see some great things coming over the next few weeks. Well, the hype train just got rolling, with a mysterious video hinting at what we might be learning about later this month.

The announcement that the original Bioshock would be coming to iOS was met with mixed reaction - people either hated it or wondered why it wasn't coming to Vita (although the answer is obvious: nothing is coming to Vita). It's such an odd reveal, one that nobody asked for and that few people can get their head around. Hardcore, premium priced mobile games can work, XCOM proved that, but Bioshock isn't a turn-based strategy game, it's an action heavy shooter. ...

Bioshock, the underwater shooter that had everybody on the internet using the phrase "would you kindly" at bemused non-gamers, is coming to iPhone and iPad. Yes, you read that correctly: one of the most notable console experiences of last generation is going to be entirely playable on your iOS device. It isn't even April.

You'd be forgiven for thinking that No Man's Sky was a PlayStation 4 exclusive. It's been heavily marketed alongside other Sony greats over the last few months, but the developers have clarified exactly where you'll be able to play the game when it releases. Sure, it'll be first on PlayStation, but it definitely won't be staying there.

Konami have announced that they've organized a special "preview night" dedicated to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. The show will be hosted by Geoff Keighley and will feature an exclusive demonstration by Hideo Kojima of "the impressive capabilities of Kojima Productions’ breathtaking FOX Engine." The evening will coincide with Gamescom and will take place in Cologne, Germany.

Regular users of the Official PlayStation App will be happy to know that it has received a brand new update on both iOS and Android. Although the update doesn't seem to contain any new features, it's nice to see that Sony are managing to keep up with managing both devices simultaneously, and alongside updates for the PlayStation 4.

Three games from this month's PlayStation Plus have leaked. It's not the big AAA games that some might have hoped for from August's lineup, but there's still some good titles there for those that don't already have them. The ad, which was published on the official PlayStation website, doesn't contain every single game, but since these are the ones Sony have chosen to "headline," it probably means this is the best that's coming.

We all know Grand Theft Auto V had a bunch of dialogue, but how much paper does it actually take to contain all those cutscenes, asides, one liners and phone calls? The answer will be enough to give up your dream of ever working at Rockstar, just in case you end up having to do the photocopies.

The Last of Us Remastered is now available to download in EU territories. Although you'll have to wait a few days to play it, you'll be able to install both the single player and multiplayer seperately, ahead of this Friday's release. If you're outside the EU, you'll have only a few hours to wait, as it'll unlock at midnight tonight.

A verified Sony employee has taken to Reddit, and has given out some bad news about PlayStation Now. Many have complained that the streaming service is too expensive, a problem softened by a rumour that current PlayStation Network purchases might "go over" to the PS Now. This Sony employee has said that that won't be happening.
