AMD’s next line of graphics hardware is due out in 2019, and could potentially be an ideal fit for PS5. After PS4 Pro launched, many gamers rightly wondered why more titles weren’t running at 1080p/60fps on the beefed up console. Going forward, the likes of QLED (as well as increasingly sophisticated OLED screens) should ensure HDR-compatible PS5 games look stunningly vibrant. With more and more devs inserting the feature into their games, don’t be surprised if the majority of PS5 games support

The PS4 update 5.0 beta is rolling out today and thus we finally know what’s arriving in the system’s next major update. In PS4 update 5.0, you’ll finally be able to silence those annoying pop-ups while you’re watching TV or movies.

**This feature contains mild spoilers for Uncharted: The Lost Legacy**Think about female video game icons and one name constantly springs to mind: Lara Croft. (Image: © Sony Computer Entertainment)And this isn’t just some flash in the pan idea either. But there’s plenty about Chloe that makes her the near perfect video game heroine – because no character can be truly perfect, after all. (Image: © Sony Computer Entertainment)Lara Croft on the other hand, in this new reboot series, is definitely a

I love international trailers – and the one for Thor: Ragnarok is no exception. There’s even a peculiar Doctor Strange prophecy that could feed into Avengers: Infinity War…“I sense a great change in your future,” the Sorcerer Supreme warns the God of Thunder. “Destiny has dire plans for you, my friend.” Apart from being a bit of a buzzkill at parties, Stephen Strange sure knows how to get people’s attention with vague mumbo-jumbo. Is he hinting at what’s to come in Thor: Ragnarok, or is his atte

Game of Thrones season 7 is getting cold. After Game of Thrones season 7, episode 5 shows Jon Snow’s men getting ready for an expedition North of the Wall. Their goal is to capture a White Walker to convince the rest of Westeros that the threat is real. This new flurry of episode 6 photos reveal the extent of the toll the frozen climes has on each man. Plus, there are icy stares aplenty between the Stark sisters – and a dragon cameo for good measure.

It’s the biggest publicly-voted video game awards ceremony on the planet. The Golden Joysticks is back for its 35th year, with the actual ceremony set for November 17 in London. Danny Wallace – actor, comedian, writer, and the voice of several well-known gaming characters – is on board to host the awards too. “I’m delighted to return to host the legendary Golden Joysticks, and to find out what the gamers themselves think are deserving of the industry’s most undeniably golden awards,” says Wallac

Longshot mode, essentially a fully-stocked story mode, is a much-needed welcome addition – with a genuinely interesting narrative to boot – but, away from the flagship feature, the changes are mostly skin-deep. If you’re a dyed-in-the-wool Madden player you’ll find a lot to like about this year’s instalment. You’ll be rooting for Devin Wade for the entirety of the 8-hour runtime of Longshot and, frankly, EA Tiburon has bested FIFA’s Journey mode significantly. In other words: you’ll feel a sense

Despite playing a big part in Microsoft’s Xbox showcase at E3 this year, you can officially take Crackdown 3 off your Christmas list. Publisher Microsoft has just dropped the news that it won’t be ready to release until spring 2018. “We want to make sure to deliver the right game, with the right quality, and at the right time,” Microsoft’s Shannon Loftis told Polygon. The delay is an especially big deal for the Xbox One X, and anyone trying to sell them, because Crackdown 3 was the notable, shin

Prepare to spam your friends with tiny Nadines and miniature Chloes, because there are new iMessage stickers to celebrate the launch of Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, and they’re available right now. For zero dollars and zero cents. The delightful illustrations for the stickers were created by Janice Chu, who works at Uncharted developer Naughty Dog as a UI artist and illustrator. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a standalone title and focuses on whip-smart thief Chloe and badass mercenary Nadine. Unc

Ben Affleck is ready to deliver a more traditional Batman in his next outing as the Gotham vigilante. “This is more in keeping with the canon of how Batman’s usually been portrayed, and how he’s portrayed vis-a-vis the Justice League in the comics,” Affleck told Entertainment Weekly. Affleck’s debut as the Dark Knight in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is better known for spawning the sad Ben Affleck meme than anything else. “Batman v Superman departed a little bit from the traditional Batman

If you’re a Star Wars fan, you can probably rattle off a dozen alien species names without even thinking about it. But did you know many of those details came from a 30-year-old tabletop RPG? The Star Wars Roleplaying Game, released in 1987 by West End Games and accompanied by a definitive Star Wars Sourcebook, both had a massive impact on the Star Wars universe. The Star Wars license was losing momentum in the late ’80s and West End happened to come in with a compelling offer. Even if the rules

2K Games today added a huge bundle of names to the burgeoning WWE 2K18 roster – but it’s little details tucked away in the fine print that have longstanding series fans most excited. We’ll have full profiles for all the new wrestlers in the game live imminently, via our WWE 2K18 roster gallery. As demonstrated by the images here, the most exciting additions include reigning WWE Champion Jinder Mahal and NXT stable Sanity, with Cruiserweight Champion Akira Tozawa also debuting in a WWE game for t

Drop everything and start hitting the Like button on Instagram, because Han Solo movie director Ron Howard just posted a new shot from the the set of the upcoming Star Wars spin-off. It’s resting on what looks a lot like a Death Star control board too. We don’t know much about the new Han Solo movie – it doesn’t even have an official title yet – but we know it’ll be a prequel, following a young Han Solo before the events of the original Star Wars movie. That means the Death Star would still tech

People were able to buy Silver packs despite the game itself not being available on the platform. The packs are no longer available but the question remains; what were they doing on Steam in the first place? Destiny transactions on Steam were made available in error. And I doubt Bungie has any plans at this point to launch the original Destiny on Steam because, again, Battle.net. Maybe the Steam Silver situation was just a leftover from Destiny’s long, strange development?

Don’t worry, the latest image from Star Wars: The Last Jedi doesn’t really show Finn and Rose betraying the Resistance and being rewarded with First Order officership. Star Wars undercover is different because you wear a hat and all of a sudden no one recognizes you. But such is the magic of Star Wars. There’s more info waiting in our Star Wars: The Last Jedi news round-up page. And it turns out those training scenes in Star Wars: The Last Jedi may still have a little George Lucas in them.

Specifically the one-eyed photographer Stefano Valentini, who definitely isn’t interested in snapping adorable puppies or babies dressed as bumblebees. “I realized the beauty in destruction,” he purrs, as the camera passes over what looks like a severed head. If that wasn’t enough, he’s got a massive knife and an unhealthy obsession with Lily, the daughter of The Evil Within’s protagonist Sebastian Castellanos. So much so that he became a serial killer in order to manufacture death scenes to pho

Daniel Craig might have recently confirmed that he’ll be back as James Bond for 2019’s Bond 25, but he won’t be 007 forever. From Idris Elba to Gillian Anderson, and Damien Lewis to Michael Fassbender, take your pick and let us know who you want to play the new James Bond in the comments below. Idris ElbaThe longer this discussion goes on, the more people want Idris Elba to play Bond it seems. Perhaps if the series embraced the long-standing fan theory (seemingly debunked by Skyfall) that James

As the old saying goes – ‘to err is human, but to crush endless waves of alien interlopers is divine’. With Halo 3: ODST, Bungie attempted to remind us of that fact, and of the fleshy helplessness of the rank-and-file foot soldier. The static defence mission is as played out today as the fixed gun emplacements upon which they typically depend. From there, Alpha Site’s hilly plaza quickly devolves into a landing site/enemy beachhead, as defence becomes attack becomes defence. With nowhere left to

The British actor has decided to put on his tuxedo and un-holster his gun for a fifth and, almost certainly, final time for 2019’s Bond 25. Let’s take a look at who’s in the frame to take over from Craig and his gallery of gadgets. Craig, though, is almost definitely calling it quits after his fifth Bond outing, which will put him out in third as the most prolific Bond behind the late Roger Moore and the original silver-screen Bond Sean Connery. His globetrotting exploits, womanising and, crucia

Game of Thrones season 7 is hurtling along at such a breakneck speed that it’s to forget the show has left certain characters on the wayside, presumably never to be heard from again. Game of Thrones season 7, episode 5 shook things up a bit, though, with a hammer blow of a return – and the actor was just glad that the internet (and his mum) kept his character in their thoughts. Spoilers to follow…Joe Dempsie – rowin’ Gendry himself – spoke to HBO about the Baratheon bastard’s return after settin
