E3 2015 Assassin's Creed Syndicate Gameplay Shows The Thrill of The Chase
That's one way to travel
When we saw Assassin's Creed Syndicate take center stage for Ubisoft's E3 2015 conference, we thought its cinematic trailer was a bloody good show, but we asked ourselves, "Where's the gameplay?" Well, it seems Ubisoft sneakily left that for the more observant to find on its YouTube channel with a succinct four minute video...
E3 2015 Take Aim at 6 Minutes of Rainbow Six: Siege Footage
"I siege what you did there"
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege received significant stage time at Ubisoft's E3 press conference today. Perhaps in response to accusations that it doctors its gameplay demonstrations, the developer trucked a whole team of its staffers onstage to test the game out live. The demo itself saw a group of soldiers...
E3 2015 Of Course Assassin's Creed Syndicate Gets a Bloody Good E3 Trailer
London's brawling
Good old Ubisoft and its CG trailers. To be fair, the publisher never fails to get us hyped with its incredibly well done Assassin's Creed clips, and Assassin's Creed Syndicate's E3 trailer is no different. Showcasing protagonist Jacob rally his mates as he takes the fight to those always-nasty Templars, the video's a fun watch,...
E3 2015 Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands Delves into the Drug Cartel
Busted
Just when you thought you couldn't get enough open world third-person shooters with games like Tom Clancy's The Division from Ubisoft, the French publisher injected yet another one into its conference right before it ended with Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands. Admittedly, this is quite an interesting premise for the squad-based shooter...
E3 2015 Trackmania Turbo Follows the Race Line to PS4
Will support Project Morpheus
Ubisoft's high-speed racing creation suite Trackmania Turbo will be drifting onto the PlayStation 4, the publisher has announced. The game, which was outed earlier as part of a Project Morpheus report, will boast virtual reality functionality, and will enable you to build your own awesome courses in minutes. Check out...
E3 2015 For Honor Brings Massive Battlefields and Medieval Hack and Slash Gameplay to PS4
Stomping ground
Arguably the biggest surprise at Ubisoft's E3 2015 press conference was a gritty medieval-themed PlayStation 4 title named For Honor. The game melds huge battlefields and tons of computer controlled soldiers with multiplayer play, as you pick up big swords, wear massive suits of armour, and smash your foes into oblivion. The French...
E3 2015 Play as a Cat Riding a Fire-Breathing Unicorn in Trials Fusion: Awesome Level MAX
On your bike
Unsurprisingly, Ubisoft's E3 press conference today saw the company desperately attempting to create the next big meme. Arguably its best effort was Trials Fusion: Awesome Level MAX, a seemingly standalone expansion for the popular motorbike sim which will launch on 14th July. There are very few concrete details about the game, but we...
E3 2015 Check Out Another Six Minutes of Ratchet & Clank on PS4
Lookin' good
Ratchet & Clank will be getting a second wind on the PS4 next year in a re-imagining of the original game that kick-started a franchise spanning two console generations. Well, three now, but you get the point. Developer Insomniac has today released some brand new gameplay footage taken from the not-a-remaster-but-a-reimagining...

E3 2015 Loss and Treachery Abound In The Division Trailer and Gameplay
Stabbed in the back
Tom Clancy's The Division feels like it has been in development for quite some time, but Ubisoft has revealed it will release March 8, 2016 on the PlayStation 4, and this relieving announcement has brought two trailers in tow. The first shows the scope of the game engine's power in a cinematic nature with narration that...
E3 2015 South Park: The Fractured But Whole Is Swearing Up a Storm on PS4
Pre-orders are available now
Bethesda did a great job kicking off its presser with some gory, gutsy footage of DOOM - but we think that Ubisoft may have taken the cake by pulling out Matt Stone and Trey Parker. The comedic duo took to the stage to announce that last year's South Park: The Stick of Truth will be getting a sequel, which will delve...

E3 2015 Fallout 4 PC Mods Will Likely Come to PS4 in 2016
Rad ideas
Earlier today at Microsoft's E3 press conference, Bethesda developer lead Todd Howard announced that PC-made mods for Fallout 4 would be coming to Xbox One. However, he didn't mention any kind of strict exclusivity, which has unsurprisingly led to much speculation over whether the feature will appear on the PlayStation 4. Bethesda's open...
E3 2015 For Honor Will Cut You and Your Mates Apart
Swing that sword, baby
Today (or tonight depending where you live,) Ubisoft gave us all a rather pleasant surprise by starting its E3 conference with a brand new IP titled called 'For Honor.' The game plays out as a third-person brawler, though it looks like combat is nowhere near as fast and frantic as what we're used to in the Assassin's Creed...
Round Up What Did EA Announce During Its E3 2015 Press Conference?
EAt that
An E3 mainstay, EA's press conference didn't disappoint this year. A slew of AAA titles keep the publishing juggernaut rolling, so it's unsurprising that its presser was full of big budget monsters. Alongside annual sports releases such as FIFA and Madden, we finally got our first semi-decent look at Mass Effect: Andromeda, while Plants vs...
Talking Point Was EA's E3 2015 Press Conference Up Your Alley?
Electronic arts
EA's been a bit disappointing in the E3 press conference department of late, but it attempted to up its game today. While it had its usual roster of sports games on display, we were most impressed by the likes of Mirror's Edge Catalyst and Need for Speed. The highlight, however, had to be Star Wars: Battlefront, which looks stunning...
E3 2015 Mirror's Edge Catalyst Sprints to PS4 in February 2016
You've got to have Faith
Mirror's Edge Catalyst will sprint to the PlayStation 4 on 23rd February in North America and 26th February in Europe, publisher EA announced during its E3 2015 press conference this evening. The game is not a sequel to the original PlayStation 3 title, but instead acts an origin story for Faith. It's also totally open...
News E3 2015: NBA Live 16 Brings Bombastic Basketball to PS4 on 29th September
Hail to the hoop god
EA's E3 conference was packed to the brim with sports this year, and one such title was basketball sim NBA Live 16. The publisher debuted a new trailer for the game, showing off its Live Motion feature, which is designed to stop matches from feeling scripted. However, most important of all was the onstage presence of the 'Hoop...
E3 2015 Unravel Is a 2D Platformer With a Touching Story
EA's Wooly World
Jokes were abundant throughout EA's presser, but as a clearly nervous developer pulled a doll made of yarn from his coat pocket, we seriously contemplated turning off the stream - thank goodness things picked up once some gameplay was shown. Unravel looks pretty great, to be frank. What we're dealing with, it seems, is an artsy...
E3 2015 Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2's Gameplay Trailer is Ferocious and Fun
Homicidal horticulture
After a surprise announcement this morning, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 has now received a suitably zany gameplay trailer. Revealed in EA's E3 press conference, the clip shows off a series of new playable characters, including a particularly exciting pirate who can hide in an exploding barrel. What's more, the...
E3 2015 Star Wars: Battlefront PS4 Gameplay Looks Like Hoth Stuff
May the force be with you
It's the one that you've been waiting for: EA has released the first gameplay footage of Star Wars Battlefront running on a PlayStation 4. In the video we see various troops and vehicles heading into Hoth, as a giant AT-AT Walker takes the focal point of battle. The clip ends with Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, lightsabers...
E3 2015 Mass Effect: Andromeda Finally Touches Down at EA's Press Conference
N7 heaven
We've finally been given a glimpse of the next Mass Effect game, subtitled Andromeda. Sadly, we once again didn't see the sci-fi release in action at E3, but we did get an enjoyable CG trailer. Sporting omniblades and N7 armour, it'll no doubt have all of you Mass Effect fans frothing at the mouth, but don't get too excited - the game's...

E3 2015 Mad Max Trailer Guarantees More Insanity with Its Main Antagonist
What a lovely day
Mad Max has already impressed us with its massive open world where you can ride around in a customized car wreaking havoc in utterly crazy vehicular battles. But that's not all, since there's melee-focused combat, RPG elements in regard to upgrading equipment and armor, and all sorts of things you can do in the depraved wasteland...
E3 2015 New Need for Speed Shakes the Cops on PS4 This November
Whoop, whoop, sound of da' police
Earlier this year we got our first look at the new Need for Speed; today we got to see the game in action during EA's E3 press conference. The mega-publisher displayed a couple of minutes of in-game action where we got to see the funky new drifting mechanic during a high-speed police pursuit - it all looked very...
E3 2015 Transformers: Devastation's First Trailer Rocks Out on PS4
Burn rubber
Call us cynical like grumpy old man Autobot Kup, but we reckon this first trailer for Transformers: Devastation is a bit underwhelming. Confirming that it's in the works over at Platinum Games and will be coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, the video's full of robotic violence, but we honestly expected something a little more...
E3 2015 Whelp, Dark Souls III Will Be The Last Game in the Series
Prepare to cry
After the release of Bloodborne earlier this year - as well as the recently announced Dark Souls III which is set to launch in early 2016 - some have expressed concern that From Software's distinctive brand of mega-difficult game might be releasing too often. However, this fear seems to be unfounded, as the studio has recently...
E3 2015 Dark Souls III Looks Both Brutal and Beautiful in These New Screenshots
Toasty
Dark Souls III has been outed, and it's heading to PlayStation 4 next year. We've already been gifted with the game's first trailer earlier today, but if you're eager to see the title's unsurprisingly eerie world in more detail, then look no further than these high resolution screenshots. Showcasing foggy urban districts, dark passageways,...
Reaction Xbox's E3 2015 Attempts to Block PS4 Upgrade Path
Microsoft focuses on the faithful
There were a couple of key themes during Microsoft's big E3 2015 media briefing today: a refocused emphasis on games under the leadership of Phil Spencer; an obsession with this holiday season's exclusives; and, perhaps most importantly, a desire to offer something fresh but familiar for the Xbox faithful. The...
E3 2015 Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's Epic Story Trailer Sneaks Into View
The phantom menace
As promised, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's new story trailer debuted on Geoff Keighley's Youtube E3 live show today. The clip features a suitably battle-scared Snake, as well as a weird and wonderful roster of villains, trudging through a series of increasingly gorgeous landscapes and vistas. As with all thing
E3 2015 Yes, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 Is Coming to PS4
Developer is aiming for a Spring 2016 release
Not much of a surprise, this one. PopCap Games already hinted at a sequel to Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare a while back, so we were expecting to see something at E3. The title made its appearance during Microsoft's conference, which makes sense - as you may
