E3 2015 Explore the City of Glass in Its Entirety in Mirror's Edge Catalyst on PS4
Glass whoa
Mirror's Edge Catalyst is not only the next entry in a beloved franchise – it's a new beginning, too. Due out from 23rd February on the PlayStation 4, the sequel will ditch the linear structure of its predecessor, giving you a full sandbox to play with. The title – developed by the ever-busy DICE – will once again see you assume the...
E3 2015 Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls Confirmed for PS4
The origami killer awaits
And the surprises just keep coming. Alright, we've know about this one for eternity: Quantic Dream's divisive adventure Beyond: Two Souls is coming to the PlayStation 4. There's more, however: Heavy Rain will be joining it as part of a Blu-ray double pack. The downside is that it'll only be available in Europe, which is...
E3 2015 Solve Assassin's Creed Syndicate's Dreadful Crimes Exclusively on PS4
Channel your inner Sherlock Holmes
After a brief spell in Microsoft's corner, Assassin's Creed Syndicate is returning the franchise to the PlayStation fold. And, much like previous co-marketing partnerships that Sony has established with Ubisoft, there'll be a little extra content available for PlayStation 4 players. Announced during the Japanese...
E3 2015 What Have They Done to Lara Croft's Face in Rise of the Tomb Raider?
Changing appearances
Seeing as Microsoft stuck rigidly to its Holiday 2015 qualifier for Rise of the Tomb Raider's exclusivity, we can safely assume that it's coming to the PlayStation 4 next year. As such, we're stretching things a little, we know – but its gameplay demonstration is probably just about worth sharing here. In the clip, we see...
E3 2015 Stare Agape at The Last Guardian PS4 Screenshots
Agro! Agro
The Last Guardian re-emerged during Sony's big E3 2015 press conference in dramatic fashion last night. Fumito Ueda, the director of the long-in-development first-party game, lapped up plenty of applause following a lengthy gameplay demo, as Shuhei Yoshida quite literally shouted out in excitement on the PlayStation maker's stage. And...
E3 2015 Shenmue III Will Have Its Revenge as Kickstarter Succeeds
"I see"
Ten hours after appearing during PlayStation's big E3 2015 press conference in dramatic fashion, Shenmue III has hit its funding target. The game – which will now launch on the PlayStation 4 and PC – smashed all sorts of records, racing to its $2 million target faster than any other title in history. Let's hope that the funders don't...
Round Up What Did Sony Announce During Its E3 2015 Press Conference?
GOAT
The biggest press conference for PlayStation fans is over, and Sony – as its wont to do at these kind of events – dropped a truckload of announcements. The highlight of the organisation's jaw-dropping showing is impossible to pick, but honourable mentions must go to The Last Guardian, Final Fantasy VII, and Shenmue III. Of course, you...
Talking Point Did Sony's Big E3 2015 Press Conference Deliver?
The big one
The doors of the LA Convention Centre haven't even opened yet, but E3 2015 has already been crazy. Sony has just rounded out a blockbuster day of media briefings, where the likes of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Project Morpheus featured prominently. Arguably the biggest announcement, though, was Shenmue III. And Final Fantasy VII...
E3 2015 Hitman Starts Anew on the PS4 Later This Year
"Good to have you back."
One would think that the next Hitman would be your typical sequel, innovating on top of what the last game did well and improving what it failed to deliver. However, the sixth game in the long-running franchise is simply titled "Hitman", which seems to be like a soft reboot of sorts for Agent 47 come December 8th, 2015...
E3 2015 World of Final Fantasy Brings Square Enix's Beloved Universe to PS4, Vita
What a world
A surprise announcement at Sony's E3 press conference - and not just because it's coming to Vita - Square Enix is developing a turn-based role-playing game known as World of Final Fantasy. The title, which is incredibly cute, celebrates the, er, world of Final Fantasy. The release's debut trailer is a short one, but we're certainly...
E3 2015 Firewatch's PS4 Trailer Is Smart, Stunning, and Scary
Catching fire
One of the more innocuous announcements at Sony's impressive E3 press conference today was that indie darling Firewatch will be making its console debut on PlayStation 4. The title sees you playing as a volunteer fire lookout officer who discovers mysterious occurrences in the wilderness. Your only means of communication is through...
E3 2015 Disney Infinity 3.0 Dares You to Stand Against the Empire
Exclusive PS4 Boba Fett figure, too
With the actual empire that Disney is building with Marvel, it's no surprise it took advantage of that with the latest instalment in its Infinity franchise. Now, as the owners of Star Wars, it was a no-brainer that Disney Infinity 3.0 would take advantage of that and tackle all things Star Wars. Sony showed off...
E3 2015 Embrace Your Inner-Retro with PSone DualShock 4
Do not underestimate the power of PlayStation
On a day where practically every gaming dream one could imagine has come true... Well, why not toss the Anniversary Edition DualShock 4 into the mix, eh? The controller – which was originally only available with limited edition PlayStation 4 consoles – will be available this September in North...
E3 2015 A Media Player Is Coming to PS4 For All of Your Video, Photo, and Music Needs
4 the (media) players
A nice little addition to Sony's absolutely insane E3 2015 press conference, the Japanese giant revealed that the PlayStation 4 will be getting a media player in the very near future. The official US PlayStation Blog states that the player will be available "this evening" on the PlayStation Store. The player comes as a...
E3 2015 Yep, PS4 Space Sim No Man's Sky Still Looks Stunning
Now how about a release date
In what is becoming a yearly tradition, we saw some breathtaking new footage of No Man's Sky at Sony's E3 press conference today. We're not complaining, of course, as the game still looks amazing. We'd just really appreciate a release date at this point. While we didn't really get to see anything terribly new, this is...
E3 2015 Media Molecule's New Game Dreams Lets You Recreate Your, Er, Dreams
Dreams really do come true
In an E3 press conference packed with stellar announcements, Media Molecule's new PlayStation 4 title Dreams stood out as one of the most bizarre and exciting. The Guilford-based developer's latest project sees you using the Dualshock 4 to shape and mold any object you can imagine. You can then bring your masterpiece to...
E3 2015 Star Wars Battlefront Co-Op Mode Blasts into View
Never tell me the odds
DICE has already knocked it out of the park with its multiplayer trailer for Star Wars: Battlefront, but with Sony's E3 conference, now we've gotten a short look at what to expect from the co-op mode as well. The trailer shows two Rebel players in a survival mode fending off waves of Stormtroopers and Shocktroopers with the...
E3 2015 Shenmue III Searches for Sailors on PS4
No, really
There's no need to rub your eyes: Shenmue III is real. Sony helped Yu Suzuki launch the Kickstarter campaign for the long-awaited sequel during its press conference this evening – a reveal that, not going to lie, almost had this author in tears. The title will release on the PlayStation 4 and PC in December 2017, assuming that it makes...
E3 2015 Batman: Arkham Knight Trailer Showcases Exclusive DLC
What do you fear?
Batman: Arkham Knight is right around the corner, but that hasn't stopped Sony from showing more of this conclusion to the trilogy at its E3 2015 conference. The trailer begins with Joker's body being cremated into ashes, but then the scene shifts to a small diner in the streets of Gotham, where we strangely get a first-person...
Map packs will be coming to the PS4 first
After a partnership that lasted an entire console generation, Activision has broken ties with Xbox to team up with Sony. Of course, Call of Duty: Black Ops III is still coming to the Xbox One, but all of the game's DLC will hit the PlayStation 4 first. Treyarch had some fast-paced gameplay to show off as...
E3 2015 Uncharted 4 Rides Again With One of E3's Best Ever Gameplay Demos
Oh my Drake
We hope you don't think we're being hyperbolic with that headline - we really do believe that Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's latest showing at Sony's E3 2015 press conference was one of the best demos that we've ever seen. Closing out the show, Naughty Dog's new-gen title went above and beyond, showcasing an utterly awe-inspiring car...
E3 2015 Horizon: Zero Dawn Is All About Killing Giant, Mechanical Dinosaurs
And it's a PS4 exclusive
We've known that Horizon was in production for about a year now, but actually seeing Guerilla Games' new IP in action has shown us that it very well may be a big hitter for the PlayStation 4. It's clear that Sony has faith in the project, too, as it was the second game to be shown off during its press conference. After...
E3 2015 Street Fighter V's Public Beta Scissor Kicks onto PS4 on 23rd July
A little Birdie told us
Sony briefly talked about Street Fighter V at its impressive E3 press conference today, and what it said lined up with the leaks we reported on earlier in the week. Most notably, series veterans Birdie and Cammy will be joining the fray. Also, as is quickly becoming the trend, there'll be a beta for the game kicking off
E3 2015 Are We Dreaming? Final Fantasy VII Remake Is Coming to PS4
Wait what
We have no words, only feelings. In an announcement that was rumoured, but we couldn't possibly believe, Final Fantasy VII is being remade on PlayStation 4. No, really, it is - and we're not talking about the PS4 remaster. An actual remake of Cloud and co.'s epic journey. All we have right now is a CG trailer, but honestly, that's enough...
Live Watch Sony PlayStation's E3 2015 Press Conference Right Here
Uncharted 4! Horizon! The Last Guardian?
And then there was one. Alright, we know that Nintendo and Square Enix have still got a couple of presentations to go, but let's be honest here: the PlayStation presser is probably the one that you've been waiting for if you're reading this site. Sony's media briefing is set to start at 18:00PM PT. Are you...
E3 2015 Destiny: The Taken King DLC Coming to PS4, Possibly on Blu-Ray
It was... Destiny
Destiny will be receiving a new expansion pack in the form of The Taken King and it'll be releasing later this year on September 15th of this very year, bringing with it some new sub-classes and enemies to blow to hell. Sounds pretty standard. Usually we'd expect to see expansions release as downloadable items, but there's a...
E3 2015 The Last Guardian Ascends from Its Slumber with Gameplay Trailer
Kept us waiting, huh?
The Last Guardian, a victim of being seemingly canceled numerous times as it struggled through development hell for several years, is no longer a gem that would never see the light of day. It is finally here, and it is coming to the PlayStation 4 in 2016. The gameplay is all too familiar, but we can tell this title is on...
E3 2015 BioWare Spills Some Details on Mass Effect: Andromeda
Entering orbit
While we're sure that many of you were left disappointed by the big reveal of Mass Effect: Andromeda - which amounted to a 40 second long teaser trailer - we all need to step back and realise that these things take time. Sure, we're just as impatient as you are, but we can wait for greatness - it's often what gaming is about these...
Round Up What Did Ubisoft Announce During Its E3 2015 Press Conference?
Ubiquitous software
French publisher Ubisoft has a hit and miss history when it comes to its E3 press conferences, but it's an expo mainstay all the same. This year, the company showcased Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Tom Clancy's The Division, and a new game named For Honor, while Ghost Recon: Wildlands was also announced. If you missed the show or...
Talking Point Did Ubisoft's E3 2015 Press Conference Restore Your Faith?
Softly, now
Another Ubisoft E3 press conference has come and gone, but what did you make of it? The French publisher showcased, as expected, the likes of Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Tom Clancy's The Division, but it also threw surprise For Honor and Ghost Recon: Wildlands reveals into the mix. As always, we want to hear what you thought. Are you...
