PS4 Firmware 1.52 Released
The first post-release firmware update has been released for the PlayStation 4, and it's a little underwhelming. While you'd hope the switch to next-gen might encourage Sony to open up a little bit about what's changed between firmware versions, the explanation for 1.52 is simply that it "improves system stability."
Bungie’s Destiny Arriving September 2014
Bungie’s highly anticipated game Destiny will be released on September 9th, 2014, according to a post on the company blog. This new title appears to have some interesting and experimental ideas attached to it, and given Bungie’s pedigree it’s no surprise fans have been clamoring for it. We first shared the design pillars of Destiny less than one year ago. We promised to redefine what players should expect from a Bungie game. We said we wanted to change the way…
“What’s New” Returns to PlayStation 4
For those of us that only had access to the PlayStation 4 from Friday last week, there was one very big feature missing. “What’s New” has been touted as a social feed to keep up with all your PlayStation gaming, and yet it had to be turned off to deal with the sheer amount of people logging into the PlayStation Network.

The Walking Dead Season 2 Coming This Month

PlayStation 4 Console Review
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.
