Looks like The Order 1886 is shaping up to be a pretty short game. How short? Well, that depends entirely on who you ask. YouTuber PlayMeThrough recently got his hands on a pre-release copy of the game, and uploaded an entire play through to his channel. That’s roughly five hours of footage. About half of which is…
The PS4 and Xbox One may be getting 4K support this year, according to a fairly credible rumour coming from Netflix and Forbes.

Another month rolls through, and Sony has announced a whole bunch of new games available free to PlayStation Plus subscribers. On the first Tuesday in August, gamers will be able to download any of six titles across all three platforms. The PlayStation 4 has traditionally gotten the short end of the stick in these promos,…
Having poured through the list of features for Sony’s big PS4 update, I have come to one conclusion. Prepare to be disappointed! Firmware 1.7 adds a whole spate of new features to the console.
