Some were surprised when the learnt that Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain would be two separate games, but perhaps they'll be more surprised by the length of time that it's going to take between the two. Hideo Kojima took to Famitsu this week and said that Konami had come up with the idea of a prologue title after realizing just how far from finished The Phantom Pain was.

Well, after a rather explosive episode of The Walking Dead aired this week, I’m sure we’re all hoping to find some way of getting our franchise fix to tide us over until the show continues in February next year. “Coincidentally,” TellTale is on hand to provide. The official TellTale Twitter account yesterday confirmed that the first episode of season two of The Walking Dead would debut later this month. The episode will be called “All That Remains,” and will feature…

The PlayStation 3's launch was full of potential, but in the end fell short of instant love. Sony had underestimated the importance of social and online features and so had paled in comparison to Xbox 360 in that regard, and the cost and available games did nothing to help the situation. Sony hasn't made the same mistake twice. The PlayStation 4 is the perfect console for today, with room to grow as the industry does.

Looking to spend some digital cash tomorrow, but want to make sure you're not getting entirely ripped off? Earlier this week, there were reports of high pricing on the PlayStation Store and... there still is. But it's come down to match retail stores (which is to be expected) and now shouldn't be too rough on those virtual wallets.

Was going to pick up a PlayStation 4 but suddenly felt a little nervous after hearing nightmare stories from the US launch? Don't worry. Sony UK boss Fergal Gara today revealed that they've used the small gap between the UK and US launches to fix some of the issues the system had over the pond.

Last generation was far too long, and while it allowed for the development of impressive platform-pushers like The Last of Us, it also led to reduced sales and even studio closures. Thankfully, it seems Sony will be swapping things out a little more this time around, with the PlayStation 4 lifecycle reduced over its predecessor.

Sony have revealed the apps that'll be available on the PlayStation 4 when it launches later this week. Those hoping to completely replace their PlayStation 3 will be happy to know that all the major ones are there day one, and that there will be a lot more available to download between now and Spring 2014.

We've seen this headline time and time again before, but it's never come to anything. The relationship between Epic and Microsoft on Gears of War has been fruitful for both parties, but the hope that the sci-fi shooter would someday make it to Sony consoles has been around as long as the PlayStation 3 has. And why not? They're great games.

Warner Bros. have today announced LEGO The Hobbit, a new LEGO game based in the world of Peter Jackson's latest epic fantasy trilogy. If LEGO Lord of the Rings is anything to go by, there'll be more than enough reference to JRR Tolkien's one-film-max 1937 novel as well.

There have been rumours, in the past few weeks, that Sony had bought the Crash Bandicoot IP and that they'd be reviving the franchise for the PlayStation 4. The story was actually pretty solid, consolidated by a teaser video and the removal of all references from the Activision website. According to Activision though, it was all a coincidence.
