Tweets of the week:

Around the world of PlayStation:

  • When gaming luminaries Hideo Kojima and Mark Cerny have a chat about the future of games, it’s time to sit down and listen. Which is exactly what an audience did at this month’s Develop: Brighton 2016 conference, when the Metal Gear Solid creator was interviewed by the PS4’s lead architect.

What we’re currently playing:

  • Rhys: “I’ve fallen into a good system lately; Hitman for the long, lazy gaming evenings, Uncharted 4 when I need some excitement, then Rainbow Six Siege and Overwatch for a quicker blast at lunchtimes. I really need to actually finish some games though…”
  • Matt: “With my TV on the fritz I’ve returned to my old friend the PS Vita and finally got around to giving Grim Fandango Remastered a go – turns out I remember almost nothing of my original playthrough…”
  • Fred – “I’ve been tinkering around some more in Mirror’s Edge Catalyst. It’s been a good few years since the original, but it still feels unique – and, in its best missions, exhilarating.”
  • Corey – “With another long transatlantic flight ahead, I’ve turned back to Towerfall Ascension, now with The Dark World expansion in tow. But lo, is that the siren song of Spelunky I also hear…?”

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