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.

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

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 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...

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?

As always, we want to hear what you thought. Are you...
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 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.

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...
