ALSO HITTING PS4

MEDIEVIL Format PS4 ETA 2019 Pub Sony Dev Other Ocean Interactive

Two decades ago the PlayStation original captivated us with its distinctly British dark sense of humour. It saw Sir Dan, a fallen, then resurrected, knight, setting out to save the kingdom of Gallowmere from the evil necromancer Zarok. At the time it was a great step forward for 3D hack-and-slash platformers. (It also had some light puzzle elements.) Now Dan steps forward again, into environments rich in character and detail, on PS4. As he’d say – get on with it!

CONCRETE GENIE Format PS4 ETA Early 2019 Pub Sony Dev PixelOpus

Polluted as it may be, there’s still a strange beauty to the city of Denska, which you explore as young doodler Ash. Fittingly for a game about making art, even the run-down streets Ash explores while avoiding his bullies ooze charm. Using a magic paintbrush, Ash can paint on any surface and bring his creations to life to restore the city. Lights flicker on, and the genies he creates can use their powers to help. It’s enchanting.

PROJECT JUDGE Format PS4 ETA 2019 Pub Sega Dev Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio

The Yakuza developer is delivering something on the other side of the law. Takayuki Yagami (played by famous Japanese actor/musician Takuya Kinura) is a defence attorney turned private eye who must get to the bottom of a string of murders, searching for clues and donning disguises in the process. Still treading the line between goofy and serious, the game is strongly reminscent of Japanese legal dramas, and re-uses Yakuza’s Kamurocho setting and features similar combat.
