02:22    No comments

As the summer swings into full spirit, the gaming industry – along with the rest of us – takes some well-earned time to kick back, soak up a few rays and draw comfort from the knowledge that Christmas’ mayhem is still months away.

That said, even a quiet week in PlayStation has its share of news, trailers and announcements. Just in case you missed any of them, let’s take a moment to re-cap:

This week’s biggest new trailers

  1. No Man’s Sky
    Wondering what combat looks like in a near endless universe? No Man’s Sky‘s second ‘Pillar’ trailer debuted this week, shedding fresh light on how combat works in its procedurally generated universe.

  2. Batman: The Telltale Series
    Take a look at the first trailer from Telltale Games’ highly-anticipated adaptation of the DC comics’ iconic crusader for justice, Batman.

  3. Gravity Rush 2
    New characters, powers and environments were all on show in the release date trailer for Gravity Rush 2. Get a closer look at more of what you can expect come November this year.

  4. Star Wars Battlefront – Death Star Expansion

  5. ABZÛ

Tweets of the week:

Around the world of PlayStation:

  • Shuhei Yoshida found himself digitally recreated when he joined the team over at Media Molecule this week for a hands-on look at the studio’s forthcoming PS4 exclusive Dreams.

This week’s PlayStation Store ‘leftfield’ pick:

Insomniac Games may be better known for big-budget action adventures like Ratchet & Clank and Resistance: Fall of Man, but this week it dipped its toe into more modest and tranquil waters with Song of the Deep.

A true ‘passion’ project driven by chief creative officer Brian Hasting’s desire to create a gaming role model his daughter could look up to, this 2D side-scrolling underwater adventure is irresistible in both its simplistic yet compelling narrative and its mesmerising art direction. We can’t recommend it highly enough.

The pick of PlayStation Blog:

  • Lara Croft will be crashing back onto PlayStation 4 in October with Rise of the the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration Edition. This special edition comes cocked-full of freshly looted DLC and a brand new VR mode.
  • Following on from its alpha demo earlier this year developer’s Team Ninja will be release a beta demo for samurai action-RPG Nioh, next month.
  • System Shock, the spiritual predecessor to the Bioshock series, is getting a thorough overhaul for the new generation and, best of all, it’ll be shrugging off its PC roots and coming to PlayStation 4 as well.

And the rest of the headlines:

What we’re playing this week:

  • Matt: “With my TV still not fixed the PS Vita continues to be my go-to gaming device and I honestly couldn’t be happier… except when I’m raging my way through Guacamelee‘s Tree Tops platform section – seriously, who needs that many blades?”
  • Rhys: “It’s been a big Hitman week for me – at the time of writing, I’m watching the clock until 1pm when the next elusive target goes live. Finally, I can follow Gary Busey around without fear of the restraining order being broken. I’ve said too much…”
  • Fred: “After taking a few weeks out for Uncharted 4 and Mirror’s Edge Catalyst, I finally jumped back into Alienation to mop up the remains of the extra-terrestrial menace.

Tell us what you’re playing below, have a great weekend, and we’ll see you back here on Monday.
