News Rise of the Tomb Raider Dev Sympathises with PS4 Players
Xbox exclusivity a problem for PlayStation fans
Rise of the Tomb Raider isn't coming out on the PlayStation 4 – well, not yet anyway. In all likelihood, the release will launch on Sony's system six or so months after the Xbox version deploys in November – but that's still quite a long wait for fans of the franchise. Asked whether PlayStation...
News These PS4 Fans Really Want a SOCOM 2 Remaster
Tango down
Ah, remasters: some loathe 'em, some love 'em. Whichever camp you fall into, it doesn't sound like they're going to stop anytime soon – especially when people are campaigning for more to get made. SOCOM 2 is the latest target of fans, as a group of military aficionados rally around the forgotten franchise to get its second instalment...
Review Payday 2: Crimewave Edition (PS4)
The heist life
As a law abiding citizen, committing robbery is probably the last thing on your mind. That said, somewhere inside your deepest thoughts – whether you'd admit it or not – you've probably pondered what it would be like to throw off the shackles of society's laws, and turn to a life crime. In Payday 2: Crimewave Edition for the...
Feature Push Square's E3 2015 Game of the Show - Horizon: Zero Dawn
Bring me the Horizon
There hasn't been this much buzz surrounding Guerrilla Games for a while. The first-party firm last truly dropped jaws with its infamous Killzone 2 demo at E3 2005, a clip that turned out to be staged. A decade later, the Dutch developer has learned a lesson or two – it always shows gameplay where possible for a start...
News Oh Great, Both Prototypes Are Coming to PS4
Meat is Mercer
Activision should remaster the Prototype franchise for the PlayStation 4, said absolutely no one ever. We reckon that re-releases certainly have their place on the Japanese giant's new-gen system, but let's be realistic here: there are some franchises that belong in the bargain bin at a second hand games store, and Prototype is one of...
News Sony: We Like to Have a Balance of Sequels and Risky Concepts in Our First-Party Portfolio
Yoshida explains Japanese giant's approach to exclusives
Shuhei Yoshida, the president of Sony's Worldwide Studios network, is one of the most powerful people in gaming. Not only does he have an enormous Twitter following, but he's also in charge of every first-party project that deploys on a PlayStation platform. That means that he's responsible...
News Sony: PlayStation TV Is Hard to Explain
Live and learn
PlayStation TV was always an odd product; it was very niche in its capabilities, but never did anything particularly well. It's no surprise, then, that the peripheral sold rather poorly. Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony's Worldwide Studios, seems to agree with us. "It didn't capture the consumers' imaginations," the executive...
News Yakuza 5 Busting Bad Guys on PS3 in Fall 2015
King Kazuma
Yakuza 5 is a massive game that's going to take time to translate, but Sony hasn't forgotten that it promised to bring the release overseas. While the PlayStation 3 may be starting to feel like old news these days, we're still looking forward to continuing Kazuma Kiryu's story – even if we will have to dust off the aging machine before...
News Suikoden III Stretches Its Legs on PlayStation 3
Geddoe know
Expecting a typically witty write-up? Sorry, office RPG enthusiast Robert Ramsey is away, which means that it's down to this clueless scribe to compose 100 or so words on Suikoden III. The classic PlayStation 2 title originally released in Japan and North America back in 2002, but is receiving the PlayStation 3 re-release treatment next...

The glitz and glamour of E3 2015 may be over, but there's still plenty to look forward to on Planet PlayStation.

Use your home network or USB drive to access all of your entertainment
Sony put a big emphasis on games when it launched the PlayStation 4, and its laser focused marketing won the hearts and minds of gamers. But as its new PlayStation Vue commercial so astutely illustrates, just because games are the focus of the format, doesn't mean that owners...
News Sony: We Aren't Making Vita Games Because of Consumer Expectations
Say what?
Don't hold your breath for any big budget PlayStation Vita games. Sony stopped seriously supporting the handheld long ago, but its executives are getting to a point where they're so blunt it hurts. Speaking to Game Informer, Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida said that the real reason the Vita isn't being supported is because...

There's more on the Horizon
Please excuse the terrible by-line pun, but there was no way we were ever going to let that one pass us by. Now, onto proceedings... This year's E3 has been chock full of mega announcements and reveals (Sammy is still not convinced any of it was real,) and while Naughty Dog's Uncharted 4 trailer had us reminiscing of...
News ZombiU Takes Another Shuffle Closer to PS4
Undead and unburied
Wii U exclusive ZombiU was rumoured to be in production for the PlayStation 4 prior to E3 2015, but Ubisoft's press conference failed to kick out confirmation. Now, however, a listing for a title named Zombi has infected the Austr

News Forklift Racing Could Return in Shenmue III on PS4, PC
At least we have that to look forward to

Round Up Batman: Arkham Knight PS4 Reviews Are Bat Crazy
Bat to its best?
The fun never ends here at Push Square Towers.

You'll have to wait a little while longer for us to formulate our...
E3 2015 Bethesda Says Graphics Were Sacrificed for Gameplay in Fallout 4
The beauty of destruction
"Everything that we do is a balance", Bethesda marketing director Pete Hines told GameSpot. The publisher's upcoming open world role-playing game, Fallout 4, got a big showing at this year's E3, but there's been a lot of conversation regarding the title's visual prowess. "We could make the best looking game possible, but...
News Batman: Arkham Knight's Day One PS4 Patch Is Bigger Than Bane
But the game runs as smooth as butter on Sony's system
You'll need to set aside a bit of time before booting up Batman: Arkham Knight on the PlayStation 4 next week, as the game will launch alongside a hefty day one patch. Weighing in at around 3.5GB, the v1.01 update lists improved performance and stability fixes among its most notable tweaks...
E3 2015 Almost Half PS4 Owners Never Had a PS3
Changing minds
At this point, we can probably all accept that the PlayStation 3 had problems. It was ultimately a great console, don't get us wrong – but Sony really misfired with the architecture and price, prompting it to lose ground against a very aggressive Xbox 360. With the PlayStation 4, however, the Japanese giant's got back to its...
News Final Fantasy VII PS4 Won't Be a Simple Remake
Cloud nine
People, we can talk about the Final Fantasy VII Remake like it's a real thing – because it is. The game was announced during Sony's big E3 2015 press conference as a timed exclusive for the PlayStation 4 – and the reveal blew pretty much everyone at Push Square Towers' mind. Associate editor Robert Ramsey is still hyperventilating...
News The Witcher 3's PS4 Patch 1.05 Hunts Down Bugs In the Near Future
Squish squash
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's upcoming patch is a relatively small one, but it does fix numerous rather annoying little bugs. For starters, you no longer have to worry about getting rich, as the game won't reset your fortune by accident when you pass the 65535 crowns mark. What's more, Geralt's current outfit won't appear wet when you...
News The Batman: Arkham Knight PS4 Is Particularly Pretty
Slick in silver
Some of the official custom PlayStation 4 consoles have been pretty bad if you ask this author, but the Batman: Arkham Knight one bucks that trend. Sony's deployed an unboxing for the brand new bundle, and while it's a little overproduced, it should sell you on the system if you've been sitting indecisively on the fence. We've...
E3 2015 PS4 First-Person Sandbox RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance Is Definitey One to Watch
Life is not just a fantasy
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a role-playing game, but it doesn't feature any fantasy tropes. There's no magic, no dragons - just you, your trusty blade, and maybe a horse. The successful Kickstarter title's in development at Czech studio Warhorse, and it's planning to release a beta for the game - at least on PC - later...
E3 2015 PS4 Exclusive Dreams Is More Flexible Than LittleBigPlanet

Feature 10 of the Best PS4 Videos from E3 2015
Blinded by brilliance
E3 2015 almost had too many great videos to count, but we've somehow managed to cut our seemingly endless list of brilliant clips down to the ten best. Now, by ten best, we mean the very best of the best; these are the videos that we reckon defined this year's E3. That said, if you want to scour through almost every piece of...
E3 2015 Sony's Been Borrowing Ideas from Oculus, Says Yoshida
Both products will be launching "very, very soon"
Sony's biggest fear for Project Morpheus isn't that it will be outdone by the Oculus Rift; rather, the company is more concerned that virtual reality may never catch on. That's according to Shuhei Yoshida, the president of Sony's Worldwide Studios, who spoke to Polygon earlier today. "We know each...
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. From what we could tell, it seemed to be a more traditional role-playing game, complete with a colourful world and cameos from various Final Fantasy characters and creatures from...
E3 2015 What Remains of Edith Finch Sounds Utterly Insane
Control animals in the search for scran
Remember how The Unfinished Swan frequently introduced new mechanics – only to toss them out about an hour later? Giant Sparrow's pushing that idea further with What Remains of Edith Finch, a game which is all about the ancestry of an unusual family over time. The demo that the developer's showing at E3 2015...
News Ryo Hazuki's Ghastly Shenmue III Character Model Will Totally Improve
Ine-san will be worried
In the cold, hard, sobering light of day, let's be honest: Shenmue III doesn't look very good yet. Unlike other Kickstarter campaigns, Yu Suzuki is flogging this project on the branding alone – and it's worked. But with the funding drive already successful – and Sony admitting that it will be putting its hand in its...
E3 2015 Deus Ex: Mankind Divided's 25 Minute PS4 Gameplay Demo Tells You All You Need to Know
Adam's back with a vengeance
Adam Jensen's one hell of a capable operative - that much is clear after watching this 25 minute Deus Ex: Mankind Divided demo. The meaty chunk of gameplay shows off everything from stealth and hacking to the new weapons in Jensen's arsenal - and it all looks pretty great. The game's cyberpunk world seems more stylised...
Soapbox Was E3 2015 Just a Dream?
Sammy Barker reflects on the greatest of all time
I'm half expecting to stir from my slumber any minute, clammy after a restless night filled with vivid dreams. That can't have been E3 2015, can it – a show in which the impossible became possible all within the span of an hour? I've been covering this event for a good six years now, and I know,...
Round Up Your Ultimate Guide to All of E3 2015's Biggest News, Trailers, and Announcements
What a week that was
Can you believe it? E3 2015 just about done after almost a solid week of hectic coverage. For us, it's time for a break, but for you, the next couple of weeks are going to seem decidedly drab in comparison - perhaps even boring. Still, this year's Los Angeles-based expo proved to be well worth the fuss, granting us five big...

An hour and a half of wonder
Isn't it a great time of the year to be Push Square's resident video person? E3 leaks footage like nothing else in gaming, but the highlights are obviously the publisher press conferences.

E3 2015 Bizarre PS4 Exclusive The Tomorrow Children Blasts Off in Autumn
Tomorrow Never Dies
The Tomorrow Children is one of the PlayStation 4's strangest exclusives, and a classic example of how the Japanese giant is committed to supporting totally unique experiences. Unique being the strongly operative word here, though, as we're still not entirely sure what the game is actually about. At any rate, the tantalizing...
E3 2015 Mirror's Edge Catalyst Will Be More Accessible, But Will Still Reward Skill
Faith no more
Mirror's Edge on the PlayStation 3 was great, but few of its fans would deny that it had problems. The combat was probably right at the top of the list, but it also had some really frustrating difficulty spikes. In the series' sophomore outing, Mirror's Edge Catalyst on the PlayStation 4, it will be a little more forgiving – but...

E3 2015 Don't Count on Playing Cuphead on the PS4
Gunstar zeroes
You win some, you lose some. And Sony has definitely missed out when it comes to Cuphead, the intriguing 1930s cartoon-inspired run-'n'-gun shooter from Canadian outfit Studio MDHR. You may have spotted during Microsoft's press conference that this was listed as a console exclusive for the Xbox One – and the Redmond firm has...
News The Best Digimon Game in Years Could Be Coming West on PS4
It's digi-destiny
Potentially great news for Digimon fans: Digimon World: Cyber Sleuth could be heading West if an Amazon Canada product listing is to be believed. However, the bad news, at least for Vita owners, is that the game's only listed for release on the PlayStation 4. The title launched in Japan back in February as an exclusive of Sony's...
E3 2015 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 Looks Crap
Epic bail
Many dreams have come true at E3 2015 – but a good Tony Hawk title is a fantasy too far. The first screenshots of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 looked rough, but the debut gameplay footage is even worse. We're not just talking about the graphics either: the level design and physics also look bad. To be fair, the game's still in development,...

This ain't Game of the Show yet folks – though that's coming, don't worry. This is more: we've got a nifty new tool here at Push Square Towers so let's find an excuse to use it. Sony had lots of PlayStation 4 exclusives on display this week, so we figured that we may as well poll you on which ones you're planning to buy –...
E3 2015 Sony Bend's Mysterious PS4 Exclusive Is Looking and Playing Good
Shuhei Yoshida chimes in
Perhaps the best thing about Sony's big E3 2015 press conference this week is that, while the Japanese giant revealed enough to sate its rabid fanbase, it also kept a fair amount in the locker. One such game that remains unannounced is the latest from Uncharted: Golden Abyss developer Sony Bend – and speaking on a GameSpot...
E3 2015 What's Going on with Gravity Rush 2?
Come, come, kitty, kitty
Gravity Rush is one of this author's favourite new franchises of the past five years. Kat's inaugural outing on the PlayStation Vita may not have been perfect, but it had enough personality and gameplay nuance to make it a property worth investing in. It's a shame, then, that following the announcement of a sequel a few...
E3 2015 Call of Duty: Black Ops III's Beta Comes First to PS4

Call of Duty: Black Ops III may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's in Sony's court now, so expect to see a lot more of the series on the PlayStation Blog. And just in case you missed the announcement during the Japanese giant's big press conference: the game's beta will launch first on the PlayStation 4, while all...
E3 2015 Shadow of the Beast May Be PS4's Bloodiest Game
Gore, blimey
Shadow of the Beast is a beloved brand for many, so there was a mixture of excitement and trepidation when Heavy Spectrum announced that it would be taking the series' reins and rebooting it for the PlayStation 4. This first footage of the new-gen version proves that there was little to worry about, however, as the release is looking...
E3 2015 PS4 Horror RPG Vampyr Gets Its Very First Trailer
Biting back
Vampyr is currently in the works over at Dontnod Entertainment, but all we've seen regarding the game is some very vague concept art. Fortunately, the developer's released something slightly more tangible: the title's very first trailer. Again, it's more of a mood setter than anything, but it's still the most that we've seen of the...
News Holy Cancellation, Batman! Arkham Knight's Batmobile Edition Dumped
Lost its wheel
Batman: Arkham Knight may be mere days away from release, but retailers are currently in the process of cancelling orders for the uber-expensive Batman: Arkham Knight Batmobile Edition. We've heard from one reader that his GAME order has been dumped, and both Eurogamer.net and NeoGAF seem able to corroborate the story. The exorbitant...
E3 2015 Nintendo Doesn't Have High Hopes for Project Morpheus
"It's not fun"
Make no mistake, virtual reality is big at this year's E3. Sony may have cunningly glossed over Project Morpheus during its press conference, but it's pushing the headset in its booth in a big way. In fact, with even Microsoft joining the race in various different ways, Nintendo's the only current console maker to not have something...
E3 2015 Last Year's Model Is Back in Uncharted 4 By the Way
Elena, here be
Just in case you missed the memo: Elena is back in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.

E3 2015 Thank Heavens Sony Didn't Change Horizon's Protagonist
"Is it risky to do a female character?"
It's a sad reality that some gamers are close-minded – after all, we've all seen what's happened to our wonderful hobby over the past year. But while we're not here to preach to any one of you on this site, we will say that we're glad that Sony and Guerrilla Games stuck to its guns with Horizon: Zero Dawn's...
E3 2015 Uncharted 4 Aiming for 30FPS Single Player, 60FPS Multiplayer
Pushing the pretty
Few would disagree that Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is the best looking game at E3 2015, and that means that it's not going to hit its original 60 frames-per-second target. Speaking on a GameSpot livestream earlier in the week, lead game designer Kurt Margenau revealed that the studio's now targeting 30 frames-per-second for the...
E3 2015 This Yooka-Laylee Footage Will Make You Feel Like a Child Again

Despite only just completing its Kickstarter campaign, this off-screen footage from E3 2015 shows plenty of promise already...

Return of the king?
Destiny fans are getting pretty hyped about upcoming expansion The Taken King.

After two relatively disappointing slices of downloadable content in its lifetime so far, we're hoping...
E3 2015 Shenmue III Expands with Fresh Stretch Goals
We love these
Shenmue III has rocketed past $3 million, meaning that it's time for some new Stretch Goals to be added to the campaign. These focus on Baisha Village, one of the three main hub areas in the game. The additions run from $4 million to $5 million, and include additional quests, mini-games, and battle events. If we had to guess, Yu Suzuki...
Weirdness Man Arrested for Robbery with DualShock 2

While we were all getting giddy over The Last Guardian, one Brazilian man was attempting a robbery – with a DualShock 2.

E3 2015 Transformers: Devastation's Vehicle Attacks Are More Than Meets the Eye
Autobots, roll out
Back when Transformers: Devastation first leaked, we pondered how the vehicle transformations in the title would work. There were no screenshots showing off any of the playable Autobots in their transformed state, so we wondered whether developer Platinum Games had ripped that part of the experience out. It turns out that it's...

E3 2015 Sony's Done Making Big Games for PS Vita
And that was the end of that
Sony may be unsure whether the PlayStation Vita is a legacy device, but the platform holder has ruled out the development of any future blockbusters for the format regardless. Speaking with IGN, Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida said that the organisation will not be making any more AAA first-party games. Don't...
E3 2015 Is a Mass Effect Trilogy PS4 Remaster Happening? Even EA Doesn't Seem to Know
The cycle continues
If anything was missing during EA's 2015 press conference - well, apart from it actually being good - it was a Mass Effect Trilogy remaster announcement. Fans of Commander Shepard's epic sci-fi quest have been begging for such a reveal ever since new-gen consoles arrived on the market. BioWare, the studio behind the franchise,...
News Sony: Backward Compatibility Is a Requested Feature, But Not Greatly Used
That's one angle
Sony has no plans to add backward compatibility to the PlayStation 4, as it doesn't believe that the feature is particularly greatly used. Speaking with MCV at E3 2015, SCEE gaffer Jim Ryan explained that the Japanese giant has opted to invest its resources into other areas of its console – even though it admits that the Xbox...
News Horizon: Zero Dawn Was in Killzone: Shadow Fall All Along
Right under our noses
Guerrilla Games, you sly dogs! Much like The Last of Us teaser in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, the Dutch developer stuffed a Horizon: Zero Dawn hint in PlayStation 4 launch title Killzone: Shadow Fall – it's just taken us all this time to notice. One eagle-eyed Twitter user uploaded the embedded video, ensuring to copy...
Reaction Sony Proves That PS4's Got a Stranglehold on Consoles at E3 2015
Manufacturer's melted back into market leader role
Sony has the console market in a stranglehold with the PlayStation 4, and E3 2015 reinforced that point. There was a worry after the device's almost immaculate launch that it would rest on its laurels, but it appears that the enormous success of the system has only motivated it more – it's choking...

E3 2015 Capcom's Morpheus Tech Demo Is Set in a Creepy Kitchen
Ready, steady, chop
Virtual reality is big right now, in case you hadn't noticed. There are a ton of games being announced for Project Morpheus, but there are just as many tech demos being revealed as well. It seems that rather than jumping right in, most big publishers are opting to experiment instead – and Capcom's own Kitchen is one title...

Ripped to bits
Dead or Alive 5: Last Round's got a new costume set based on the Deception franchise, and, much like the outfits of those that you destroy with brutal traps and contraptions in the latter series, these fresh costumes also rip, break, and fall apart as you take damage. This isn't the first time that the latest Dead or Alive release...
E3 2015 Summer Lesson Is Morpheus' Most Colourful Game Yet
The holiday of your dreams
Summer Lesson, the Project Morpheus-powered studying simulation from Bandai Namco's industrious Tekken team, appears to have ditched the creepy schoolgirl aspect of its original reveal – opting instead for a sunny experience in which you'll spend time in an idyllic holiday home with the girl of your dreams. Still a bit...
E3 2015 Final Fantasy VII's PS4 Remake May Not Be Exactly How You Remember It
Growing pains
Many of you probably have the plot of Final Fantasy VII memorised, but Square Enix has hinted that the release's PlayStation 4 remake – which was announced earlier this week to rapturous response – could deviate from the original story. "We've announced an HD port version on the PS4, and then we have the remake coming to PS4,"...
E3 2015 The Last Guardian's PS3 Trailer Wasn't Quite Real
Sony 'specced up' the footage
Well, this is awkward. When Sony re-revealed The Last Guardian this week, many suggested that it looked similar to the title's PlayStation 3 trailer from all those years ago. "What has Team ICO been doing?" the people with pitchforks cried. Speaking with Kotaku, Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida admitted that...

E3 2015 How Much of an RPG Is PS4's Horizon: Zero Dawn?
It's still not entirely clear
Horizon: Zero Dawn, the ambitious new property from Guerrilla Games, dazzled during Sony's big E3 2015 media briefing this week – but we don't actually know a lot about the game. We know that you'll play as Aloy, a young female protagonist from a tribe who's adept at hunting Machines – the robotic creatures who have...
E3 2015 Why Didn't Sony Show More Morpheus During Its Presser?
Obvious, really
The big rumour going into E3 2015 was that Sony was going to spotlight the PlayStation 4's innovative Project Morpheus headset pretty heavily during its press conference – but it didn't. While the headset was certainly discussed by gaffer Andrew House, it was only mentioned on stage for a matter of minutes. And speaking on the...
E3 2015 Here's Some More Uncharted 4 as Naughty Dog Explains The Game's Brilliant E3 Demo
Don't hit the brakes
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's gameplay demo absolutely blew us away at Sony's E3 2015 press conference. The presentation, which included a gob-stopping jeep-driving section as Nate and Sully attempt to escape an armoured truck, has spawned many questions regarding how the automobile controls, and what the development process of...
News Tales of Berseria's First PS4 Screenshots Look Promising
Sail away with me
Courtesy of Famitsu, we've got our first look at PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 action role-playing game Tales of Berseria. Featuring Velvet, the release's rather stylish protagonist, and a big, menacing boat, it seems like the latest title in the Tales Of series is going to set sail with some swashbuckling pirate themes. When we...
News DriveClub's PS4 1.18 Patch Ups the Racer's Level Cap
More to play for
Away from the madness of E3 2015, Evolution Studios has deployed a new update for PlayStation 4 exclusive racer DriveClub. Weighing in at approximately 420MB, the patch – labelled v1.18 for those keeping track – ups the title's level cap to 60, and adds accolades for every location and car in the game. There's lots more for you...
E3 2015 Sony to Bring PS4 Prices Down in Brazil
Kidneys no longer requested as payment
A niche bit of news for you here, but interesting nonetheless: Sony will begin manufacturing the PlayStation 4 in Brazil, in an effort to bring prices down. Previously, the platform retailed for a ridiculous $1,850 – a figure that even the Japanese giant admitted was outrageous. But it did stress that it was...
E3 2015 PS4 Exclusive NieR New Project Is Not a Sequel
NieR, far
Square Enix has dropped a handful of bombs this week, with Final Fantasy VII Remake finally becoming a reality and all that. NieR New Project, announced to be in development for the PlayStation 4 during Square Enix's press conference yesterday, was one such shock – as famed developer Platinum Games is leading production. And speaking in...
E3 2015 Sony's Shawn Layden Says 'Less Talk, More Game' Was the E3 Mantra
Sony exec pulled no punches
Shawn Layden pretty much cemented his place in the E3 hall of fame after Sony's ridiculously good E3 2015 press conference. The executive's still relatively new to taking the reigns at the Los Angeles show, but with a snappy script, and some spot-on speaking backed by plenty of utterly mindblowing announcements, the...
E3 2015 Dreams Is Clearly PS4's Craziest Exclusive Ever
Dream a dream
Dreams is the kind of game that, truthfully, you'd only ever find on a PlayStation platform. The fact that Sony has allowed Media Molecule to spend the past four or so years working on a title that can't even be easily explained is a testament to the creativity that courses through the company as a whole. Still, it would be nice to...
E3 2015 Godling Is a Gorgeous Morpheus Game Where You Play God
Gaze upon your kingdom
Ever wondered what it'd be like to be a God? The forthcoming Godling, a virtual reality title for the PlayStation 4, will attempt to answer that very question – as you must fill the shoes of a 'Toddler God' who awakens in a beautiful and natural world. Blessed with various powers, you can help to make your surroundings...
E3 2015 Kerbal Space Program Engineers a Path to PS4
Pretty fly
Spaceship building simulation Kerbal Space Program will release on the PlayStation 4, it's been announced. The port was revealed at E3 2015 overnight, but there's no word on a release date just yet for the uber-popular indie. Sony will see it as another real win, however, as it continues to covet some of the biggest independently...

E3 2015 The Last Guardian Explores the Relationship Between People and Animals
Based Ueda
Love it or loathe it, games like The Last Guardian just don't get made. This a blockbuster title in every sense of word, and it clearly has a colossal [Pun intended – Ed] budget behind it. So, in a year where Ubisoft's big reveal was a Ghost Recon reboot that looked almost identical to its still-in-development The Division, it's...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Sales Keep Dropping While Software Stagnates
The Witcher 3's still in there, though
Despite The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's admirable efforts to stick in the top 10, PlayStation 4 unit sales have fallen yet again. Sony's newest console only managed to shift 10,822 units last week, but to be fair, the hardware charts make for generally depressing reading overall. You can compare the prior week's...
E3 2015 Take a Look at Street Fighter V Kicking Butt on the PS4
Insert shoryuken pun here
Street Fighter V had a pretty minuscule presence at Sony's E3 2015 press conference, but that's understandable since it's available elsewhere at the Los Angeles expo. Still, if you're looking for some footage taken directly from the PlayStation 4 version of the game, you've come to the right place. During Sony's live show...
E3 2015 Headmaster Looks Like It'll Give You a Headache
On our 'ead
Here's a novel idea for a Project Morpheus game: heading practice. An exclusive for Sony's virtual reality device, Headmaster whisks you away to a futuristic training ground, where you'll be bombarded with different kinds of balls which you must direct into targets with your tête. It's like a Virtua Tennis minigame – only you play it...
E3 2015 Watch Sony Bang on About The Last Guardian After Its E3 Showstopper
The beast returns
Sony seems as excitable as us with regards to the fact that The Last Guardian is, y'know, actually a real game. The PlayStation Blog's Justin Massongill sat down to talk about the long awaited adventure during the company's post-conference E3 live coverage. You can relive the moment that The Last Guardian was re-revealed through...
E3 2015 Arcade Classic Battlezone Targets Morpheus Reboot
Tank! Tank! Tank!
This author's a little too young to remember Battlezone, but for many it provided a formative arcade experience. For those that don't know, the cabinet came with a kind of periscope, which was used as a window into the polygonal action. Your objective in the Atari game was to bust wireframe tanks – and now Rebellion is bringing...

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...
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 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...
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...
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 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...
E3 2015 You Won't Be Receiving a Retail Release of Shenmue III PS4
Don't you know that's way uncool
Much like antagonist Chai, Yu Suzuki has chewed up any hope of a retail release of Shenmue III on the PlayStation 4 – for now. Following last night's shock announcement, a few firm details are starting to emerge regarding the perennially pined after sequel. An updated FAQ, for example, reveals that SEGA has given...
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 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...
Live Watch Square Enix's E3 2015 Press Conference Right Here
Deus Ex! Hitman! Kingdom Hearts III?
Square Enix has already dropped one of the biggest bombs of E3 2015 by announcing that it's remaking Final Fantasy VII for the PlayStation 4 – but what other surprises could its press conference a hold? We're certain to see Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Hitman, but could Kingdom Hearts III also put in an...
Rumour Beyond Good & Evil 2 Is Dead and Buried
Yves forbade Jade
Sony's big E3 2015 press conference may have felt a little like a séance for formerly dead projects, but there's one title that it failed to resurrect: Beyond Good & Evil 2. The astute among you may have noticed that the release was absent from Ubisoft's media briefing, and that's because it's apparently dead as a dodo –...
E3 2015 Sony's Partnering with Yu Suzuki on Shenmue III Production
"We're going to be partners the whole way"
As exciting as Shenmue III's reveal has been, the nature of the release's relationship with Sony has been a little muddy. Currently, we know that it's coming to the PlayStation 4 and PC – but an update to the title's Kickstarter page suggested that other systems could be added to the mix. We assumed that...
E3 2015 Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4's E3 PS4 Gameplay Trailer Will Blow You Away
Quite literally
No one does anime-style action quite like CyberConnect2, as evidenced by Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4's brand new E3 2015 trailer. One astounding attack after the next is dropped throughout this glorious gameplay footage, and, truth be told, even we felt a little out of breath by the time it was over. The PlayStation 4...
E3 2015 Here's How to Sign Up for Street Fighter V's PS4 Beta
Fighting fit
Sony and Capcom understandably want the launch of Street Fighter V to go well next year, so it's no surprise that the companies are currently planning out a PlayStation 4 beta. The best part is that if you're interested, all that you need to do is sign up through the game's official website. Simply click through here, select your...
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. It's probably because, y'know, an actual remake of the PSone classic was announced at Sony's E3 2015 press conference, which we guess renders the mentioned port a bit obsolete. Yes, you read that right:...
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 Godzilla on PS4 Rampages Through E3 With a Brand New Gameplay Trailer
King of the monsters
What kind joke would E3 be without PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 smash-'em-up Godzilla storming the Los Angeles event? In the game's newest, suitably bombastic trailer, we see the overgrown lizard and all of his monster pals kick the snot out of each other, wrecking cities as they go. It's arguably the title's best clip yet...
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 NA PSN Sale Spotlights the Best of the Los Angeles Show
Some titles 60 per cent off
In the mood for some actual games following this week's E3 2015 goodness? Of course you darn well are. It's probably a good thing that Sony's dropped a new sale on the North American PlayStation Store, then, spotlighting some of the legendary games from the Los Angeles-based show. For example, you'll be able to get Alien...
E3 2015 PS4 Medieval Brawler For Honor Looks Brutally Brilliant in These Screenshots
Cleaved in twain
Phwoar, these new For Honor screenshots have got us hot under our armour. Easily one of the best reveals at Ubisoft's E3 2015 press conference, the medieval-styled brawler looks bloody great, as it throws you and a few other players onto a massive battlefield filled with swords and guts. You can watch gameplay of For Honor through...
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 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 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 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 Guerrilla Games' Gorgeous PS4 Exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn Is One to Watch
Dutch developer serves up fascinating new PlayStation franchise
If last night's E3 2015 press conference from Sony had been a normal one, we'd probably be all cooing over Horizon: Zero Dawn right now. Sadly for Guerrilla Games, its new intellectual property got overshadowed somewhat by bigger announcements – but take nothing away from the title,...
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 Persona 5 Gets an English Trailer, and It's Still Slated For a 2015 Western Release
Now it's personal
Atlus has begun its Western push of Persona 5 courtesy of the role-playing game's first English trailer, published alongside the title's official English website. Disappointingly, the clip contains the same footage that we've seen before, but it's still well worth watching again for its glorious sense of style. Perhaps the big...
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 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 Sword Art Online Titles Slash into E3 with Two New Trailers
Razor sharp
Enhanced port Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment, and all-new PlayStation 4 and Vita title Sword Art Online: Lost Song have both sliced their way into E3 2015 with two fresh trailers. The former's clip showcases quite a lot of gameplay, and it's looking pretty nifty running on the PlayStation 4, while the latter's video goes for a...
News Prototype 2 Is Probably Getting a Re-Release on PS4
Fair enough
Not quite a megaton E3 2015 announcement, it looks as though Prototype 2 is coming to the PlayStation 4 courtesy of a remaster. The PlayStation 3 sandbox title puts you in the role of an overpowered, biologically enhanced super-hero-of-sorts, and basically lets you go absolutely mental as you fight the army, monsters, and God knows what...
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 Why Has The Last Guardian Taken So Long?
"Sometimes it takes a really long time to realise a vision"
The Last Guardian was undoubtedly one of the highlights of Sony's big E3 2015 media briefing last night. It's taken Fumito Ueda and his team seven long years to get the former PlayStation 3 exclusive up to a standard where it's presentable outside of trailer form, but finally, we got a...
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 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...
Round Up What Did Square Enix Announce During Its E3 2015 Press Conference?
Stop press
Another newbie at this year's E3 when it comes to publisher press conferences, Square Enix grabbed the bull by the horns and took the expo to task. The Japanese company showcased the likes of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Kingdom Hearts III, and Just Cause 3, but it was Nier that managed to get the most attention. If you missed any of the big...
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...

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 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 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 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 Destiny: The Taken King Includes Exclusive PlayStation Spoils
For the Guardians
As expected, Sony took the opportunity during its big E3 2015 press conference last night to announce Destiny: The Taken King for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 – a souped expansion that will be available from 15th September. And as has become customary for the series, there'll be a little extra content for fans of the...
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...
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...
E3 2015 Get a Glimpse of Star Ocean 5 PS4 Gameplay Straight from Square's Presser
A drop in the ocean
The oddly named Star Ocean 5: Integrity and Faithlessness got its first gameplay showing at Square Enix's E3 2015 press conference. The action role-playing game seems a little rough around the edges, but the developer stressed that a very early build of the release was on show. Sporting some nicely crafted environments and some...
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...
E3 2015 Guerrilla Cambridge's RIGS Marries Mechs with Morpheus
Mech it happen
Guerrilla isn't just working on Horizon: Zero Dawn for the PlayStation 4 – its satellite studio Cambridge is also, as rumoured, busy beavering away on a mech game. However, what we didn't know when we reported on this yesterday is that it will be Project Morpheus compatible – and it actually looks pretty cool. RIGS: Mechanized...
E3 2015 Kingdom Hearts III Wins The Key to Our Hearts with Gameplay Trailer
More than meets the eye
After scaring all of Square Enix's E3 2015 conference viewers by showing a Kingdom Hearts mobile game at first, the Japanese publisher relieved everyone's fears by following this up with the most anticipated title of the show: Kingdom Hearts III. Thankfully, not only did we get a cutscene with a young Xenanhort and (perhaps)...
E3 2015 Mark Your Target with Hitman PS4's First Gameplay Trailer
Slap head's back
There's a new Hitman game due out on the PlayStation 4 this year, so it's handy that we've got our first taste of the title courtesy of Square Enix's big E3 2015 media briefing. It's still not entirely clear how this release will work, but developer IO Interactive's talking a big game, in which it intends to iterate on the...
Talking Point Was Square Enix's E3 2015 Press Conference a Success?
Keyblade kings
Square Enix's E3 2015 press conference was a slightly more humble affair compared to the bombast of yesterday's pressers, but the publisher still managed to pack it with a diverse selection of games. The new Nier title announced for the PlayStation 4 was probably the biggest highlight, but the sumptuous new Kingdom Hearts III footage...
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...

Channel your inner Sherlock Holmes

E3 2015 A New Nier by Platinum Games Will Grace the PS4
Nice to have you Nier
Nier released in 2010 to mixed reception with its story, characters, and gameplay, but has its passionate fans that revere the title like a cult classic. So, when Square Enix announced at its E3 2015 conference that Platinum Games will be taking the reigns of the series with several significant Japanese game industry veterans...
E3 2015 We'll Hear More About Final Fantasy VII's Full PS4 Remake This Winter
We're in for cloudy weather
Square Enix was back to its old tricks during its live E3 2015 press conference, as it decided to show the same Final Fantasy VII Remake trailer that debuted at Sony's earlier event. The CG clip sent shivers through our bodies once again, but sadly, the Japanese publisher didn't have anything new to share. You can watch...
E3 2015 Square Enix's New Team Tokyo RPG Factory Reveals Project Setsuna
All-new franchise for consoles
Square Enix's closing announcement didn't carry quite as much clout as we may have been hoping, but confirmation of the company's new JRPG-focused studio Tokyo RPG Factory is exciting. While we didn't see much, company gaffer Yosuke Matsuda revealed that a new title by the team named Project Setsuna will launch on...
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?

As always, we want to hear what you thought. Are you...
E3 2015 Augment Yourself with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided's First Gameplay Footage
Ex marks the spot
As expected, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided took up a decent chunk of Square Enix's E3 2015 press conference. The cyberpunk sequel got a shiny new trailer at the event, complete with the grizzly voice of main character Adam Jensen. Mostly made up of gameplay, the footage looks pretty great, and it seems as though Jensen's going to be...
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 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 Just Cause 3 Sets the World on Fire 1st December
Grappling hooks and explosions: the video game
Just Cause 2 was good, stupid fun. It's only fitting, then, that Just Cause 3 should take that same absurdity to a new level. This is looking to be a big release for Square Enix – it was the first game the publisher showed off, and representatives seemed keen to stress that they're standing firmly...

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 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 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.

Round Up What Did Bethesda Announce During Its E3 2015 Press Conference?
Megatons
Seeing as Bethesda is the new boy to the E3 2015 media briefing crowd, the publisher didn't hold back any punches during its inaugural press conference.

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...

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.

The rumours are true, turns out. After showing off the likes of Dishonored 2, Bethesda announced that a new-gen Definitive Edition of 2012's Dishonored is coming to the PlayStation 4 this autumn, or fall, for you Americans. It was a rather brief announcement, however, as tonight's focus was clearly on new games...

Arena action
How do you reboot a franchise like DOOM? Well, you make it familiar – but amplify everything so it feels fresh again.

While the developer was a little less...

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...

Middle finger from Mars
Have we all recovered from Bethesda's laser-focused presser yet?

Fallout 4 may have been the highlight, but credit must go to...

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 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...
Weirdness This Project Morpheus Concept Will Make You Look Like an Idiot
The future
We're excited for Project Morpheus, but let's be totally honest here – none of us are going to look cool using the headset.

The sci-fi shooter, a focus of Wired's article on Sony's fledgling virtual reality headset, takes...
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
E3 2015 Dark Souls III Looks Both Brutal and Beautiful in These New Screenshots

Dark Souls III has been outed, and it's heading to PlayStation 4 next year.

Showcasing foggy urban districts, dark passageways,...
Reaction The Remaining E3 Pressers Will Need to Be Bloody Good to Better Bethesda
Nailed it
DOOM, Dishonored 2, and Fallout 4. Only a handful of games were relevant to PlayStation at Bethesda's E3 2015 press conference, and this minimal focus was perhaps key to the publisher's incredibly successful showing. By concentrating almost purely on its biggest releases, the company crafted a presser that was devoid of filler, and...

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...
E3 2015 Dishonored 2 PS4 Will Take You to Karnaca
Step aside Dunwall
Dishonored 2 was announced for the PlayStation 4 during Bethesda's media briefing last night – much, we suspect, to the surprise of no one.

E3 2015 Dark Souls III Will Make You Cry in 2016
Please, punish us
As expected, Dark Souls III has been officially announced. The breaking news comes courtesy of - ahem - the Xbox E3 presser, though don't worry, it's not an Xbox exclusive and we'll still be able to get our puny little arses whipped just as badly as our Xbox brethren. There's no solid release date right now, but the teaser did...
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.

Electronic arts
EA's been a bit disappointing in the E3 press conference department of late, but it attempted to up its game today.

The highlight, however, had to be Star Wars: Battlefront, which looks stunning...
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...

Despite a troubled PC launch, the console version of The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited has wandered to the top of the UK sales charts.

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...

It's inevitable that a deluge of indie games will come flowing from Sony later today due to its adamant, commendable partnership to put small developers in the spotlight, so it's no surprise that the publishing giant welcomes yet another indie team into its fold by bringing White Rabbit's game called Death's Gambit to the PlayStation...

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 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.'

Bethesda opened its inaugural E3 press conference with a rather impressive, and astoundingly gory, demo of its reboot of the DOOM franchise.
