Guide What Time Do Ubisoft, Sony PlayStation's E3 2016 Press Conferences Start?
Catching fire
The doors of the Los Angeles Convention Centre haven't even opened yet, but E3 2016 is already in full swing. Following on from EA and Bethesda's press conferences, it's now time for Ubisoft and Sony PlayStation to take to the stage. As was the case yesterday, we've produced a handy guide to show you when the media briefing
E3 2016 Mafia III Looks and Sounds the Part on PS4
The biz
We feel a little bit sorry for Mafia III. While competing titles are popping up in publisher or platform holder press conferences, Lincoln Clay and his cronies have been left to fend for themselves – earning only a spot during IGN's live coverage. Still, this 22 minute gameplay demo which debuted last night is surprisingly strong – it...
E3 2016 Is Grow Up the Sequel to Grow Home?
A new leaf?
The European games ratings board, PEGI, may have inadvertently stolen a little of Ubisoft's thunder. A page on its website currently lists a rating for a new game, entitled Grow Up. It sounds to us like a sequel to the cutesy, 3D platformer Grow Home, with PEGI's rating of 3"" backing this up somewhat. Another interesting tidbit is the...
Round Up What Did Bethesda Announce At Its E3 2016 Press Conference?
Not a lot
Bethesda's E3 2016 press conference was notably lacking in, well… Anything of note, really. The publisher – which put on a stellar show last year – ambled out of the gate with a lacklustre selection of titles, and while the likes of Dishonored 2 and Skyrim Special Edition do legitimately look great… They're not exactly getting our...
E3 2016 Go To Hell with New DOOM Multiplayer and Snapmap DLC
Forged through fire
While DOOM may stand well enough on its own legs with its formidable campaign, its multiplayer options are solid treats on the side to conduct your next demon-slaying forays. However, one thing that these additional modes lack in various ways is more variety, and thankfully id Software is appropriately addressing these concerns...
E3 2016 Here's What's Next For Fallout 4's DLC on PS4
We're going to Nuka World
Bethesda revealed what's next for Fallout 4 at its E3 2016 press conference, and while a couple of meagre add-on packs had many fans groaning, the good news is that the open world role-playing shooter is getting what looks to be another sizeable expansion in August. But first, let's rewind to the not-so-exciting stuff. To...
E3 2016 Bethesda Takes the Mask Off Dishonored 2 in Gameplay Showcase
Take back what's yours
At the end of its tepid E3 presser, Bethesda showed off the first gameplay footage of Dishonored 2. This started with a good look at what the custom game engine, called Void, can do. Developer Arkane expressed its aim of making the sequel look like a painting come to life, much like the first game, and following a showreel of...
E3 2016 Skyrim: Special Edition Brings Way Better Graphics to PS4 This Year
Fus Ro Dayum
As the leaks foretold, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is bringing its brand of open world fantasy to PlayStation 4 later this year. The remastered edition was confirmed by Bethesda during its E3 2016 press conference. Dubbed The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Special Edition, it'll boast enhanced graphics thanks to a number of visual tweaks,...
E3 2016 You Can Download DOOM's First Level on PS4 for Free
DOOM's day
Shareware was a big deal when DOOM first started out, so Bethesda's trying to bring back some of that love – by basically releasing a demo for the FPS on the PlayStation Store. The trial – which features the first level from the critically acclaimed campaign – is available on the PlayStation 4 right now, so give it a go if you want...
Talking Point Did Bethesda Bring the Big Guns to E3 2016?
All of the Fallout
This year marked only the second ever Bethesda press conference, but already the organisation feels like part of the E3 furniture. Its media briefing earlier today centred on the likes of Dishonored 2 and Fallout 4 DLC, but it also included announcements of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition and Prey, too. But what did...
E3 2016 Wolfenstein: The New Colossus May Be the Next Title from Machine Games
Shadow of the Colossus
A dismal Bethesda press conference concluded without any mention of the rumoured Wolfenstein 2 – or did it? Eagle-eyed fans spotted reference to The New Colossus in the media briefing's inspired DOS opening, with its release date blanked out. It's safe to assume that this is what Machine Games is working on – even though...
E3 2016 Bethesda Announces Prey, Will Come to PS4 in 2017
Good morning, Morgan
Bethesda has shown off a new entry in the Prey series coming to the PlayStation 4 in 2017. Developer Arkane Austin is in charge of the game and it is currently unknown whether this is a sequel, reboot, or re-imagining of the 2006 title of the same name. However, as this new release doesn't have a number in the title, it's safe...
Live Watch Mafia III's PS4 Gameplay Reveal Right Here
An offer you can't refuse
Whoops, we only just spotted that this is going on: Mafia III's getting a live gameplay demonstration on the PlayStation 4 right now. We'll keep this article short so that you can watch on -- the game's looking pretty sharp, we must say.
Live Watch Bethesda's E3 2016 Press Conference Right Here
Can you take the Fallout?
It's only Bethesda's second ever E3 press conference, but after last year's slick showing, it's got a lot to live up to at E3 2016. We're expecting the likes of Fallout 4 and Dishonored 2 to feature heavily, but don't rule out appearances from rumoured releases like Wolfenstein 2, Prey 2, and The Evil Within 2. The action...
E3 2016 Expect More Niche Japanese Visual Novels on Your PS4, Vita
Variety is the spice of life
Sekai Project, a publisher of visual novels and Japanese indie games, has teamed up with Mighty Rabbit Studios to port its catalogue of titles to the PlayStation 4 and Vita in physical and digital form. No explicit releases have been revealed yet, but apparently "extensive" work is being carried out by the North...
E3 2016 Titanfall 2's PS4 Vanguard Edition Costs $250
But have you seen it yet?
Ever wanted to own your own Titanfall 2 helmet? The just-announced Titanfall 2 Vanguard Collector's Edition – which is available for pre-order now – will enable you to do just that, though you will have to pay $249.99 for the privilege. To be fair, the full-scale replica will also come with some accessories –...
E3 2016 Here's Your First Look at The Walking Dead: Season 3 on PS4
Clem the killer
This author often feels like the only person on the planet that preferred The Walking Dead: Season 2 to its award-winning predecessor, but your humble host thought that the development of Clem's character was really great. The Walking Dead: Season 3 promises to be something special, then, with the once optimistic tween now turning...
Round Up What Did EA Announce At Its E3 2016 Press Conference?
EAsy peasy
It's safe to say that the reaction to EA's press conference hasn't been all too positive, but the publisher still managed to cough up several trailers and throw out a few announcements. Highlights included a rather impressive look at Battlefield 1 and a slightly better glimpse of Mass Effect: Andromeda - although we'd advise you to temper...
E3 2016 EA Unveils New Program To Help Foster Indie Talent
Indie apologists queue here
Perhaps the only surprise at EA's E3 press conference this morning was the firm's announcement of a new program to help support independent developers. Titled EA Originals, the plan is a response to the success of Unravel, and aims to foster talented and unique small developers. In a canned
E3 2016 EA Play Hosting Charity Initiative, Play to Give
Five charities to benefit from
Hidden away among the game announcements and gameplay –or, er, behind the scenes footage – EA unveiled a new scheme entitled Play to Give. During the publisher's pre-E3 2016 event, EA Play, gamers will be able to try and complete various challenges across a handful of games, earning in-game rewards in the process...
E3 2016 EA Announces Madden NFL 17 Championship Series, Offers $1 Million in Prize Money
Here comes the money
EA has been a big supporter of eSports recently and it looks like it will be continuing that support in a big way during its Madden NFL 17 Championship Series. The tournament offers a massive $1 million in prize money and will span an entire year, with events being held at four EA Majors as well as other events that will be...
E3 2016 EA Offers Update on New Star Wars PS4 Titles
All in a galaxy far, far away
A behind-the-scenes video was shown off by EA during its E3 2016 conference about its Star Wars games. The firm has a lot of developers working on games in the Star Wars Universe, including a few current games, like Star Wars Battlefront, so it only made sense that it'd provide an update. A brief glimpse of...
E3 2016 You Can't Make Your Own Character in FIFA 17's Story Mode
You gotta be Alex Hunter
EA has officially revealed a new mode in FIFA 17 called The Journey. After spying the trailer - which you can watch through here - we had assumed that the mode would allow you to create your own character and therefore act as a new spin on the traditional player career mode. As it turns out, though, this doesn't appear to be...
E3 2016 Battlefield 1's Gorgeous PS4 Gameplay Trailer Will Blow Your Mind
World War Wow
EA's press conference today was about as exciting as an appointment with the dentist, but at least Battlefield 1 ended the show on a high note. The title's latest "gameplay trailer" – which we don't 100 per cent believe is representative of the experience that you'll get on a PlayStation 4 – is extraordinary, bringing a Michael Bay...
E3 2016 EA Debuts Titanfall 2 PS4 Multiplayer With New Trailer
Advanced warfare
Following the leak of Titanfall 2's single player trailer earlier today, EA gave us our first glimpse of the sci-fi shooter's multiplayer mode. Check it out below. It looks fast-paced and frenetic, which should come as no surprise to anyone who's played the original game. The verticality and free-running gameplay appears to have...
E3 2016 Zoink! Games' 3D Platformer Fe Looks Fetching and Fanciful
Fe-fa 2017
In what is becoming an annual tradition, EA wheeled out a nervous indie developer to show off a charming platformer at its E3 press conference today. Fe by Zoink! Games sees you playing as an adorable woodland creature who must collect the songs of the forest. Or something like that, anyway. It must also be said tha
E3 2016 EA Shows Off New Madden 17 Gameplay Trailer
Let's play some football
EA has shown off a brand new gameplay trailer for Madden NFL 17 using entirely in-game footage at its EA Play press conference. While to the average viewer it appears the same as previous iterations, it seems this year EA have put a greater focus on blocking punts and field goals. The trailer ends on a cinematic shot of...
E3 2016 Here's Your Annual Mass Effect: Andromeda PS4 No-Show
Fly into the sun
Three years, three huge disappointments from BioWare and EA. Once again, the Canadian studio brought virtually nothing of Mass Effect: Andromeda to EA's press conference, turning up to the show with a new behind-the-scenes trailer. Unheard of! To be fair, the video does feature little bits and pieces of gameplay, but there's...
E3 2016 FIFA 17 Will Take to the Touchline with Premier League Managers
They're in the game
Following on from the news that FIFA 17 will indeed include a full story mode following the personal and professional journey of the fictional Alex Hunter, EA has also announced that managers will be included in the game. Expect to see fully realised models of all 20 Premier League managers who will prowl the touchlines and bark...
Talking Point Did EA's E3 2016 Press Conference Entertain You?
Electronic arts or wet farts?
And with that, the first E3 2016 press conference is under our belts. Never one to follow trends, EA did things a little differently this year, opting to hold its own event aligned with E3 – but technically not part of the convention. Its briefing was a bit predictable, though, focusing on the likes of Mass Effect...
E3 2016 No Chance of Messi Getting Frostbite with These FIFA 17 Skills
But can he do it on a rainy Wednesday night in Stoke?
Wondered what FIFA 17 will look like now it's running on the Frostbite Engine for the PlayStation 4? Well, this cinematic trailer showing Barcelona star and expert tax evader Lionel Messi doesn't really offer any clues. It looks pretty enough, of course, but obviously we need to see actual...
Live Watch the EA Play E3 2016 Press Conference Right Here
Battlefield 1! Mass Effect Andromeda! Titanfall 2!
And we're off! EA may not technically be at E3 2016 this year, but it's holding a press conference just the same – and it's getting us underway this year. The publisher's EA Play will take place in Los Angeles and London, airing from 13:00PM PDT (21:00PM BST). Expected titles include Battlefield...
E3 2016 FIFA 17 Has a Full Story Mode
Rising star
This is quite interesting, we suppose. According to a newly released trailer, FIFA 17 will have a full story mode dubbed The Journey, complete with cutscenes which will feature your own custom player. Okay, so maybe it's a bit cheesy, and some of the character models are rather strange looking, but having a much more involved single...
E3 2016 Titanfall 2 Drops a Bot on PS4 from 28th October
Have you seen it?
Whoops, looks like someone hit the live button a little too early. EA has just been streaming its press conference rehearsals to YouTube, and viewers caught a glimpse of the showcase for Titanfall 2. In it, a release date of 28th October is announced, alongside confirmation of a full single player campaign. You can catch the...
E3 2016 Battlefield 1 PS4 Teaser Trailer Ignites Ahead of EA Play
Bring a trench club to a gun fight
All in-game footage, you say? Battlefield 1's shaping up to be truly something else, and the World War I shooter's looking nothing short of staggering in this E3 2016 teaser trailer. We'll get a glimpse of the full thing during today's EA Play press conference, which you'll be able to watch live, of course, on Push...
E3 2016 Holy Cel-Shading, Batman! Telltale Tackles the Dark Knight in New Series
Dark delight
Batman's looking bad ass in Telltale's new series, which is set to debut on "consoles" later this year. The imaginatively named Batman: The Telltale Series will release both digitally and at retail – with a voucher enabling access to each episode as it releases – and promises to focus on Bruce Wayne just as much as the Caped...
Video Relive the Greatest E3 Press Conference of All Time
The Last Guardian! Final Fantasy VII! Shenmue III!
Prior to Sony's E3 2015 press conference, the likes of The Last Guardian, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Shenmue III were mere fan fiction – but the platform holder made them all a reality again. Sure, all three titles may come with an asterisk attached these days, but if you want your gaming...
E3 2016 Get a Look at Dishonored 2 Ahead of Bethesda's Presser
Try not to Blink
It's another day, so that means another leaked trailer has hit Twitch. This time it's the turn of Dishonored 2, which will almost certainly feature during Bethesda's press conference this evening. The clip doesn't show a whole lot, so we'd expect a lot more during the publisher's media briefing. This one is due out on 11th November,...
Guide What Time Do Bethesda, EA's E3 2016 Press Conferences Start?

News Sony's Really Got E3 2016 Leaks on Lockdown
It's oh so quiet
Nothing. There's just nothing. This time last year we'd stumbled upon a domain name for Horizon: Zero Dawn, newspaper The Guardian was running a story on – ahem – The Last Guardian, and there were other bits and bobs flying around. But this year, the Sony camp is on serious lockdown. There's just nothing leaking at all. To be...
E3 2016 Crash Bandicoot's Probably Going to Be in Skylanders: Imaginators
FFS
Crushing disappointment, readers – crushing. It looks like all of the Crash Bandicoot teasing is going to come down to this: a PlayStation 4 version of Skylanders: Imaginators including the iconic character. We reported earlier in the week that a special edition featuring the 'Coot had been spotted on a Singaporean website, but we didn't want...
E3 2016 Life Is Strange Dev's Vampyr Laments Life in PS4 Trailer
Fangs very much
The leaks floweth like the blood from a punctured vein. Vampyr's tasty E3 2016 trailer has appeared online, revealing the curse of life as a creature of the night. The game – in production at Life Is Strange developer DONTNOD – is based upon the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic in London, and sees you assume the role of a doctor name...
News The Teasing Is Strong with This Titanfall 2 PS4 Trailer
Is that all you've got?
It's not quite E3 2016 yet, but publishers have got to get you in the mood for the big show. This Titanfall 2 trailer, then, is designed to preface EA's press conference reveal on Sunday – and, inevitably, it shows next to nothing. Still, we figured that we better share it with you just in case. You'll be able to watch the...
News For Honor Gets an E3 2016 Teaser Trailer
It's time for battle
E3 2016 is right around the corner, and with that Ubisoft has released a teaser trailer for the upcoming For Honor.

The title has gone pretty much radio silent since its debut last E3,...

News Why Isn't the PS4K Going to Be at E3 2016?
Sony's hanging tight for now
Sony's confirmed a "high-end" version of the PlayStation 4, which is codenamed Neo – but which we're calling PS4K because, let's be honest, it's a fantastic moniker. But the console – which will offer enhanced experiences for hardcore gamers – will not be at E3 2016. Why is that? Well, here's what Andrew House...
News That Card Game Based on The Witcher's Probably Going to Be a Big Deal
Hearth-pwned
This week we brought you news of Gwent, a leaked card game based upon The Witcher's universe. While our very own gravel chopped editor Robert Ramsey maintained hope that it may end up on consoles, this author assumed that it would be a smartphone thing. Whichever of us turns out to be correct, it seems that the game's going to be a big...

Gosh darn it, Square Enix. We'll already be staying up late on Monday night (technically Tuesday morning) in order to watch Sony's E3 2016 press conference, and now, thanks to your crazy schedules, it sounds like we may have to miss out on sleep altogether. The Japanese publisher has revealed that Final Fantasy XV's next Active Time...
