This happens at practically every PlayStation press conference, but we'll tell you what: you only realise how much Sony actually stuffs into these shows when you have to write about it all. We're over 24 hours removed from yesterday's PlayStation Experience 2015 keynote, and while we've written a ridiculous number of stories over the past day or so, we're getting to the point now where we're going to have to round up the stragglers and move on. Here's everything that we missed in uber-condensed bullet point form:
The PSX 2015 Press Conference Stragglers
- Guns Up, the nifty looking PlayStation 4 strategy game from Valkyrie Entertainment and Sony San Diego, is out now in North America – and it's free-to-play. Those of you in Europe will sadly have to wait until the PlayStation Store updates next week, though.
- MLB 16: The Show, the next entry in Sony San Diego's critically acclaimed sports series, will hit a homerun on PS4 and PS3 starting 29th March in North America. There'll be an MVP Edition available for $69.99, which will include a limited edition case and tons of additional in-game content.
- Day of the Tentacle Remastered will release on the PS4 and Vita in March 2016. But developer Double Fine's not stopping there, as it's also bringing an upgraded version of Tim Schafer's adventure game classic Full Throttle to Sony's formats as well.
- The Hitman beta will begin on 12th February on the PS4, with pre-orders guaranteeing access to the pre-release stress test. To help you to decide whether you want to buy the stealth game on Sony's system, IO Interactive has also announced that the game will feature six PlayStation exclusive missions. And that's not all: Hitman Go, the smartphone spin-off, is coming to the PS4 and Vita.
- Hob, a mysterious new adventure game from Torchlight developer Runic Games, will release on the PS4.
- Don't Starve Together will make its console debut on the PS4. The game takes the core concept from Klei's survival sim but will see you working together in order to stay alive for as long as possible. The developer's bringing Invisible, Inc to Sony's new-gen system as well.
And that, we think, is just about that. We'll still have an absolute ton of reaction, opinion, and information coming out of PlayStation Experience over the course of next week, so stick with us. It's a relief to have all of those announcements out of the way, though. So. Many. Games.

@get2sammyb at least it wasn't as bad as e3 right
@SKC_Diamond Haha, no, not as bad as E3.
What about The Last Blade 2 (arguably the most classy 2D fighter ever) and KOF 14.
I don't believe The Show 16 is releasing on Vita, but I'd love to be wrong! I finally get a Vita, and my favorite game gets skipped for the first time in the system's history.
@Thrash13
You can never really tell when it comes to the Vita, Sony does almost zero maketing or buildup, lots of games are released with just a couple of days notice.
@Thrash13 It's a mistake, sorry. MLB 16: The Show is coming to PS4 and PS3.
@sub12 Plan to do meatier stories on those and a couple of others tomorrow. Run out of time today, though, sadly.
@sub12 that was as an amazing announcement which went completely under the radar. I guess you need gameplay footage to stand out. I would love for them to release 1 and 2 tho I did pick up the 1St one as a PSONE classic from the Japanese psn.
@get2sammyb "MLB 16: The Show is coming to PS4 and PS3"
The PS3 LIVES!!
Also just gave my kid Godzilla on PS3 today for Hanukkah. Yeah, I know, it's a horrible game, but it's a nostalgia thing, he's 13 and he started gaming playing Godzilla Save the Earth on PS2 when he was 2 or 3. Well worth the $9 for nostalgia and boss mode, whatever it's called.
@hi_drnick
The first Last Blade is an amazing title as well. I might even like the backgrounds better in that version.
Garou: Mark of the Wolves was released summer 2015 on Android and the Japanese PS3 PSN. Fingers crossed it comes to PS4 PSN in 2016........now all we need is Real Bout Fatal Fury Special or Real Bout 2.
@sub12 I agree about the backgrounds. In fact, I think I prefer the first one (by just a tiny amount). It's just a shame the PSONE port has such bad load times...
I might have to check out Mark of the Wolves on PS3 then...
What was your take on the the new King of Fighters? I thought it looked kinda bad.
@hi_drnick
Garou is only avaliable on the Japanese PS3 PSN store......but you can find it in the west on Android. Garou shares a ton of presentation details with The Last Blade series, which lends me to believe it had some if not all of same development staff behind it (technically it takes place in the Fatal Fury universe though).
I think KOF14 looks good but still needs some polish, just that people over react when SNK ditches 2D sprite work. But 50 fighters in total!! and having some of the Street Fighter 4 development team behind it makes me feel fairly confident.
@sub12
I second that. I haven't been able to check the new trailer. Looking forward to it.
I'm rather intrigued by Hob. And I'm glad Invisible, Inc is coming to PS4 too.
@sub12 luckily I live in Japan so have access to the Japanese PSN. As Garou is only 1000 yen, I may pick it up.
You can access the Japanese PSN from anywhere. You just need to input a Japanese address when doing so. Of course, buying stuff is tricky without a Japanese credit card or local PSN card.
