Want you back
Unlike its competitors, Sony reinvents itself with each subsequent generation.

Hirata Estates
While we've seen a fair amount of gameplay from Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice already, most of it is taken from the same environment.

News Left Alive Sets the Tone with a Suitably Bleak Trailer
War, what is it good for
Left Alive is a weird one, isn't it? The stealth-shooter-survival title is due out in early March, but you'll be hard pressed to find much excitement for it around the web.
