The PlayStation weekly wrap-up

01:16    No comments

So, how has everybody been? Relative normality has returned to PlayStation this week, leaving plenty of time to get down to what we like doing best: playing games. Whether you’ve been recreating Gareth Bale’s best Euro 2016 goals in PES, getting your hands dirty in Paragon, nurtured an ongoing Overwatch addiction or anything else, let us know in the comments below.

In the meantime, here’s what’s been going on over the past seven days:

This week’s biggest trailers

  1. Furi launch trailer

    Slashing and dashing its way into the PlayStation Plus monthly games this month, Furi is one of those agonisingly addictive sleeper hits that you might not have seen coming. If you haven’t downloaded it yet, what are you waiting for?
     

  2. Alienation couch co-op trailer

    You asked for it, Housemarque added it – local co-op came to Alienation this week, so now you can blast your way through alien hordes with the added excitement of elbowing your friends in the ribs when they accidentally grenade themselves.
     

Tweets of the week

Around the world of PlayStation

  • Sound design has become one of the most vital parts of creating an immersive gaming experience – here, Overwatch creators Blizzard give and in-depth view of what went into the game’s audio landscape.
     
  • Speaking of Overwatch, the hype train shows no sign of slowing down – but there’s one class that might not be getting enough love. Check out this tribute to the under-appreciated but always essential healers:
     
  • As any assassin worth their salt knows, success is all about good intel. And now Hitman players can get the jump on elusive targets, escalation contracts and featured contracts thanks to the new dedicated app for iOS and Android.
  • Furi is ready and waiting for PlayStation Plus members to download now – but if you need any more motivation than that to start playing, here’s Gamesradar’s guide to why it’s an essential experience for July:

This week’s PlayStation Store ‘leftfield’ pick:

Beautifully animated and entwined with fantastic storytelling that will test your moral fibre, The Banner Saga 2 on PS4 puts you at the helm of a Nordic tribe that exists in a cold world of perpetual twilight. Making the right choices for your clan and having a strategic head for battle is an essential part of this melancholy yet uplifting RPG that expands on the world of myths and monsters from the first game, adding new twists and elements all of its own.

The rest of the headlines:

What we’re currently playing:

Rhys: “Two weeks without touching a Dualshock 4 is way too long, so I’ve been bingeing – Paragon, Hitman, Overwatch and (a contender for my GOTY) Rainbow Six Siege have all featured heavily this week.”

Corey: “Jumping back into Adventures of Mana on PS Vita made me feel like I was 13 again. Except with a sleek, full colour handheld. And better controls. And sporting grey hairs. And suffering from shoddy knees. And…”

Matt: “Alienation‘s recent update has tweaked drop rate for 12-Core Legendary weapons – still no love from RN-Jesus, but doing a full co-op run with the missus, so fingers crossed!”

Fred: “With Uncharted 4 finally on the ‘DONE’ pile, I jumped into Mirror’s Edge Catalyst this week. It’s great to be back on the rooftops!”
