Hot on the heels of Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper is going to be making it into cinemas in 2016. The infamous gang of thieves will be starring in their very own state-of-the-art gorgeous feature film, probably involving a caper or two. You'll almost certainly want to take your kids to see Sly Cooper, especially since you'll secretly (or not so secretly) going for yourself anyway.

The PlayStation Now service is still an awfully long way out for EU users, who probably won't gain access to Cloud streaming until well into 2015. That point has been hit home even more today with Sony announcing PlayStation Now beta invites are being sent out to those lucky enough to have been selected.

Square Enix have this morning announced a release date for the PlayStation 4 version of their massively multiplayer RPG Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Those that were expecting it shortly after launch are likely to be a little disappointed, but in the grand scheme of things it's not too much of a wait.

Tomb Raider was a great game, but it had very little in common with the massively open-world RPG The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It's not a problem most of us picked up on, but apparently it's something the developers hope to rectify for Tomb Raider 2.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition might seem slightly underwhelming, especially for those that completed it multiple times on PC. It wasn't always going to be that way though. Crystal Dynamics had originally considered adding extra plot to the new-gen edition, but was shot down by a Square Enix exec.

We know absolutely nothing about Uncharted 4, except that it probably won't come out in 2014. This was confirmed today by a Naughty Dog spokesperson on the PlayStation Blog, and is probably a huge blow to many a PlayStation 4 owner who was excited to rejoin Nathan Drake and co in a next-gen adventure.

A few weeks ago we ran a story saying that the new-gen version of Tomb Raider would run at only 30FPS. That has turned out to be only half true. On the Xbox One, 30FPS is about the limit. On PlayStation 4, you can expect anything up to 60FPS.

The Dualshock 4 has a great big light on it. It was one of the first things announced about the controller and there are basically three functions behind it. You can differentiate between players, it interacts with the camera and, in certain games, it's utilized by devs as a kind of secondary output. Killzone, for instance, shows your health status via this little light. Suddenly, people are asking why any of this matters, and are begging Sony to let them turn it off.

The leak has you salivating - it's almost too good to be true. Might PlayStation Plus in EU territories really contain both Bioshock Infinite and Metro: Last Light? There's only one barrier stopping you from getting too excited: it's yet to be officially confirmed. Today, Sony's Fred Dutton has confirmed that they're hoping to have the Instant Game Collection announcement up tomorrow.

It looks like the February content for Europe's PlayStation Plus content may have been leaked, and boy is it a good'n. There's enough here to keep you going for the full year, let alone just for February, and owners of each console are going to be hard pushed to get through it all. Still, it's hard to deny the value, even if it just sits in your download list for the next six months.
