Reminder Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Is Free on PS Plus Now
Bonza bonus
You could be forgiven for forgetting that Call of Duty: Black Ops III is free on PlayStation Plus right now – it was announced during Sid Shuman’s painful interlude in the Sony E3 2018 press conference earlier this week, after all.

E3 2018 Call of Cthulhu Tiptoes to the Mountains of Madness

News Druckmann: We Consider The Last of Us to Be Engaging, Not Necessarily Fun
A game about the cycle of violence
The Last of Us: Part II has been attracting criticism for its violence ever since its Paris Games Week trailer last year, and this week’s E3 2018 demo prompted a similar backlash.

Fortnite on the PlayStation 4 does not allow cross-console play, this much we know.

An E3 2018 story so predictable we could have penned it ten days ago and published it when it was confirmed: Fortnite will not feature cross-console play on the PlayStation 4 as Sony doesn’t allow it.

Soapbox E3 2018 Demonstrates the Disconnect Between Gamer Demands and Development Realities
You can't flip a switch
Depending on where you look, Hideo Kojima is getting ripped today. Death Stranding got its first gameplay demonstration during Sony’s E3 2018 press conference, and it looked early – I agree.

E3 2018 Ghost of Tsushima Will Have Side-Stories for You to Explore
Optional activities will have narrative depth
As you’d expect, there’ll be a main thread to Ghost of Tsushima’s narrative, which will explore the arc of protagonist Jin Sakai in 1274 Japan. But there’ll be much more to the PlayStation 4 exclusive’s open world, which will form the fabric of the fiction. We got a glimpse of one of these...

E3 2018 Sony, From Software Collaborate on PSVR Exclusive
Bloodborne director Hidetaka Miyazaki at the helm

E3 2018 God Knows What's Going on in Death Stranding Anymore
Just enjoy the journey
As promised, Hideo Kojima brought a lengthy new look at Death Stranding to E3 2018, and it confused everyone.
