A third and possibly final entry in the Boxboy series has been announced for 3DS.

A little while back, we reported that a minority of PlayStation 4 Pro titles were experiencing performance issues that resulted in some games running at a lower performance level than standard PS4 hardware during stress points. The good news is that almost all the titles we highlighted - Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Mantis Burn Racing and Watch Dogs 2 among them - have received patches that help to set things right. Mantis Burn Racing even got an HDR upgrade in the process. At the end of last week, Naughty Dog released an update for The Last of Us Remastered that similarly sets out to address our concerns. There's some great work in this update, so why isn't everyone happy?

Capcom has signalled balance changes are coming to Street Fighter 5 as part of season two of the fighting game.

Nintendo once had plans for a full console sequel to The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - and it would have been set more firmly on dry land.

Grasshopper Manufacture is known for its excess and eccentricity, but not for its craft. Its titles like Killer7 and Shadows of the Damned were strong on style, atmosphere, and attitude, but always fell a little limp in their core mechanics, with only No More Heroes and its sequel standing proud as a uniquely enjoyable addition to the third-person action genre. The more Grasshopper has tried to ape its competitors like Resident Evil 4 and Devil May Cry, the more characterless and insignificant the studio's output felt. Let it Die is Grasshopper's furthest deviation in this direction, opting to shuffle its narrative quirks to the sidelines in favour of a distinctly Dark Souls-flavoured third-person "survival action" affair. Only this time, Grasshopper got it right.

After nine years, The Last Guardian is finally complete. It's a game we can all now experience for ourselves, after many no-shows at trade-events, and reported issues during development. Created by Sony Interactive Entertainment's Japan Studio and Gen Design, the game has had a notoriously rough path to launch - though the result is well worth the wait. But when it was announced as a PS3 project all the way back in 2007, little did we know we'd end up playing on one of two consoles: its successor, the PS4, and of course the freshly minted PlayStation 4 Pro.

Dedicated dataminers have discovered unused content from Kojima Productions' lovely promotional horror game P.T.

It still feels strange to contemplate, but The Last Guardian is actually a real, finished thing - the reviews have gone live and everything. What felt stranger, as Chris and I sat down (in lovely festive jumpers, might I add) earlier today, was to actually play it.

The worst moments are sometimes the greatest moments. For 20 minutes last Wednesday I stood by an expanse of cold water, in an ancient hall that had become home to a vast, lapping pool, and I tried to get my companion, a three-storey motley of house cat, pigeon, and other assorted wildlife, to dive to the bottom, battling the swift waters that I couldn't face, and taking me along for the ride. For 20 minutes my companion would not do as I asked. You know that part in a game where you understand what you have to get to happen to solve a puzzle, but you can't make the puzzle pieces behave? I was stuck inside that part - except, while those parts are traditionally maddening, this time it was anything but.

Capcom's excellent Resident Evil 7 demo will at last get a PC launch - two weeks today on 19th December.

This morning the Department for Transport's Think! road safety Twitter account shared a picture of a pint glass, full with beer, emblazoned with "Dead Rising 4 out tomorrow, might as well call in sick now".

Who says Wii U doesn't get games? Nintendo racer Excitebike 64 launches for the system's Virtual Console on Thursday.

Mass Effect Andromeda is set in a completely different galaxy to the series' original trilogy, but that won't stop one minor character from returning.

Destiny's December update has a pleasing array of new features in store - as well as the expected return of Sparrow racing.

It's never a good idea to start with a food metaphor, but - if the first Dead Rising was an acquired taste, Dead Rising 4 is popcorn. That's to say, it's pretty low on flavour or nutritional content, but if you shovel gigantic handfuls into your mouth without cease you can just about maintain the illusion that you're eating something substantial. By turns demented and uninspired, Capcom Vancouver's latest shopping-turned-killing-spree feels like a series marking time till the executioner arrives, but there's a lot to chew over here and it can be oddly, even annoyingly hard to stop.

The famed Nostalrius vanilla World of Warcraft private servers will return, resurrected by Elysium, on Saturday 17th December.

You may have seen Mass Effect Andromeda turn up at The Game Awards with new gameplay footage, but BioWare hid plenty within the trailer you might have missed.

Has it really been almost five years? WipEout 2048, the last proper entry in the series, hit the Vita in January of 2012, and so much has happened since. The developer behind the series from the start, Sony's Studio Liverpool, is sadly no more, and since then the PlayStation 4 has been around long enough to already feel like something of a seasoned beast. Yet in its three years on the market the console has felt like it's had a little chunk missing. It doesn't really feel like a proper PlayStation without a WipEout to play on it.

Some time before The Last Of Us was released in 2013 I received a small, squeezable brick in the post from Sony Computer Entertainment. It was about the size of a deck of cards and textured like a stress toy, and it had "The Last Of Us" printed on one side, with a smiley face on the other. A happy brick.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, the newly announced standalone Uncharted adventure, will be a longer experience than The Last of Us' Left Behind expansion.

Happy PlayStation day everyone! We're in Anaheim for the PlayStation Experience, which promises to be quite a show - having skipped out on Gamescom and not put on a proper show since E3, Sony should have lots of new secrets to share. Join us live from 6pm GMT for all the show as it happens.

Ellie will be the lead playable character in The Last of Us Part 2, Naughty Dog has revealed in a panel session at this year's PlayStation Experience.

Hideo Kojima has revealed the engine that Kojima Productions will be using for Death Stranding, with the new studio electing to partner with Guerrilla Games and using the Decima engine - as used in the forthcoming Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Grasshopper's third-person hack-and-slash "survival action" game Let it Die is out today on PS4.

For all its alluring, intricate world-building (those misty whisky tumblers, the squeaking bench clamps, the crackling electric cables, the perfect uniforms), and distinguished design, there's a part of my brain that recoils when presented with a game like Dishonored 2. It may indeed be possible to enter Karnaca as a kind of aristocratic Rambo, clattering through doors and windows without restraint, head thrown back in deafening laughter while you fire a pair of muskets into the enemy throng. But I can only ever play as a benevolent creeper, clinging to shadows, choking out guards with a whispered "sorry", before gently laying their limp bodies on a nearby banquette, and, of course, stopping to save my progress every few feet. Being spotted in a game like Dishonored 2 is, for me, a fate equal to death: it forces me to load my game in order to maintain the façade of a perfectly clean score sheet.

Yakuza Kiwami, the PS4 remake of the original 2005 game, is coming to PS4 in the west summer 2017 via publisher Deep Silver.

It wasn't my intention to make Resident Evil 7's director Kōshi Nakanishi apologise for the hours I wasted trying to find a use for the dummy finger in the game's Beginning Hour demo, but that's exactly what he did when I told him of my frustrations (which I think a good portion of the internet shared) during an interview last week at Capcom's headquarters.

Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom has been shown in new detail tonight at the PlayStation Experience.

Super Stardust and Resogun developer Housemarque and Robotron creator Eugene Jarvis have revealed their upcoming collaboartion Nex Machina.
