Let's try to make sense out of this
You may have seen the new Hitman at E3 2015. You may even have gotten hyped for it.

E3 2015 So, What Is World of Final Fantasy on PS4 and Vita Exactly?
Final Fantasy for a new generation
When it was first unveiled at Sony's E3 2015 press conference, no one was quite sure what to make of the cutesy World of Final Fantasy.

What a week that was
Can you believe it? E3 2015 just about done after almost a solid week of hectic coverage.

E3 2015 Oh No, the PS4 Port of Final Fantasy VII Has Been Delayed Until Late 2015
Say it ain't so
We're not sure about you, but we're finding it pretty difficult to maintain hype for the PlayStation 4 port of Final Fantasy VII.
