Alongside the Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection storyline trailer which alone should make you want to dive back into the world of Nathan Drake, three new game modes have also been announced for the PS4 game. Those modes include Explorer, Speed Run, and Brutal Difficulty.
After the jump, details on each new game mode.
Arriving on October 9th, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is bringing the three previous installments of Nathan Drake to the PS4 in a big way. Alongside improved visuals, you can expect new difficulty modes/balancing (and trophies to go along with them) though sadly multiplayer won’t be making the cut. On the upside, you’ll get access to the Uncharted 4 multiplayer beta, so that should make up for it.
Beyond a gorgeous and vivid world that’s beautifully depicted, thanks to the artistry of Naughty Dog, Uncharted is vast with rich characters and tantalizing storylines that get you invested in the characters and their faits.
After the jump, an epic story trailer for Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection that’s worthy of the series.
Adam Boyes (VP Publisher Relations, SCEA and friend of the site) took to the stage over the weekend at D23 to announce a new limited edition Star Wars PS4 bundle. Specifically, the Darth Vader-inspired PS4 includes 500GB console (CUH-1200 series) and Dualshock 4 controller featuring the Sith lord himself alongside four classic Star Wars games and one new one.

Stop what you’re doing -even if it’s open heart surgery! – as Xur has once again stocked up on the infamous Gjallarhorn. That’s right, for the price of just 17 Strange Coins, you and your loved ones can experience all that is almost awesome (will be fully awesome once you have Wolf Pack rounds). For the unacquainted, the Gjallarhorn is the strongest weapon in Destiny and a rare one to find. Even more rare is Xur selling one. At last count, I believe only one other time has Xur, the black arms dealer who appears over the weekend and disappears before midnight on Sundays offered this exotic weapon.
If you’re short on coins, you can find our guide after the jump with tips on how to attain Strange Coins (including an easy way to get 9) and the hilarity that has ensued on Twitter over players going nuts for the rare beast.
For those unfamiliar, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection on PS4 will features all three previous installments with better lighting, textures, and models that will run at 1080p/60fps. Visual improvements aside, you can also expect no difficulty options, trophies, and even a photo mode. However, unlike Uncharted 2 and Uncharted 3 which shipped with multiplayer, this collection will be missing those features.
Lets talk after the jump.
As always, before I get into the juicy details, keep in mind that all “leaked” information should be taken with a grain of salt until we hear directly from Sony. As is with such things, details are subject to change till the last minute so even if a feature exists in the beta today, it doesn’t mean it will be in the find build. With that out of the way, news come about a small private beta taking place in Japan for PlayStation 4 firmware 3.0.
The last major firmware update the PS4 received was earlier this year (firmware 2.5) and brought some great features to the console. However with firmware 3.0, Sony is looking to add a lot of social features like direct live broadcasts to YouTube.
Lets talk details after the jump.
In late July, word came out about Destiny update 1.2.0.5. The patch, which at the time lacked a release date, was designed to include a fix for the Husk of the Pit as well as bring rewards to those who helped with the Nepal relief efforts.
Now Destiny update 1.2.0.5 is live and includes a few extra tweaks. Those details await you after the jump.
Hey Guardians, feeling tired of the same ol’ gear that you’ve been upgrading over the past year? Heard of The Taken King, the giant new DLC that’s set for release on September 15th? Well beyond all the goodies like new weapons, raids, storyline, and strikes, Bungie is also adding new gear as well.

Rejoice, PlayStation 4 fans. After two long years of waiting, the PS4 is finally getting its own universal remote which will allow you to easily play and control Blu-ray movies among other media features on PS4. Connecting via Bluetooth, the new PS4 Universal Media Remote is capable of controlling up to four devices like your PS4, set top box, TV, and receiver. Much like the PS3 remote, this remote features a dedicated Home button to allow you to easily jump to the consoles main screen. There are also dedicated button for Option/Share, two new features for PS4. Perhaps best yet, the Power button on the remote allows you to turn on/off PS4 in a very easy manner, something that wasn’t possible on PS3.
The kicker for all this? The PS4 Universal Media Remote isn’t made by Sony.
Previously known as the MP-CL1 Portable Laser Projector, Sony is tapping into their electronics arm to help beef up the PlayStation ecosystem. Dubbed the PlayStation 4 Mobile Projector, this new accessory will allow gamers to take their PS4 anywhere and easily play on, thanks to its compact design. Sony was able to achieve this by utilizing laser to power the projector and not the typical bulb system which in turn also requires a fan to keep it cool. Those two things alone cause typical projectors to be far more bulky.

Coming to the PS4, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection will encompass the first three adventures of Nathan Drake. It’s already been revealed that the games will run at 1080p and 60fps which can only add to what have already been three beautiful games. Beyond visual tweaks, developer Bluepoint Studios, who have handled other ports like the God of War Collection, will be improving how damage is dealt in the game alongside a new difficulty mode.

DriveClub, the exclusive PS4 arcade racer by Evolution Studios started with a troubled life on PS4. After a long delay, the game launched with completely broken servers which hampered the game’s experience, seeing how it is built around a connected world. This eventually led to layoffs at the studio yet despite all of this, the Evolution Studios stood by their game and addressed all connectivity issues, but has also brought an extensive list of DLC, many free, which include new tracks and cars.
Now comes news that DriveClub has raced past (couldn’t help myself) the 2 million units sold mark, prior to the release of their free PlayStation Plus Edition. And you know what? They deserve that milestone, seeing how DriveClub is one of the most fun games on PS4. More details after the jump.
Prior to Destiny update 2.0, which will usher in with it big changes to the game’s weapon system and prepare us all for The Taken King DLC, Bungie will release Destiny update 1.2.0.5. As the numbering scheme indicates, it won’t be a large update.
So what can we expect from the update? Those details after the jump.
Over at the official Destiny forums, Community Manager Chris “Cozmo23″ Shannon has put together a list of features most requested by Destiny players. While not giving them in the specific order of most requested to least, the community wish list is an interesting hodge podge of features that could either enhance the game or completely cripple it.
That list after the jump.
