Sony’s annual PlayStation E3 press conference has come and gone, and with it a number of new looks at highly anticipated upcoming games and a few cool announcements. Unlike Microsoft’s Xbox conference, which ran through new game announcements and trailers like rapid fire, Sony slowed things down. Here are the best announcements and trailers from Sony’s PlayStation conference. We finally see Death Stranding gameplay, plus new charactersNorman Reedus, that strange baby and a brand new character ca

Last night, Bethesda announced Starfield — a new, space-set game based on original IP — during its E3 2018 press conference. The announcement was met with a great deal of excitement from the Bethesda RPG community, as the Starfield marked the company’s first wholly original property in over 20 years. We know almost nothing about Starfield at the moment, simply that it’ll release between Fallout 76 and the newly announced Elder Scrolls VI. So we can’t definitely say whether a certain Monday-hatin

Sony is holding the final E3 2018 press briefing — or at least, the last one that’s a traditional live event at a Los Angeles theater — on Monday, June 11. The show is set to begin at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT, and it will focus on four upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusives: Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding, Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Spider-Man, Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part 2 and Sucker Punch Productions’ Ghost of Tsushima. But what else will Sony have for us? Keep up with our coverage of the news

But both the hard release date and the game’s special editions, now available for pre-order, are reminders that this game is indeed coming out. We’re calling special attention to the deluxe edition set that retails for $229.99. Square Enix is tossing in three exclusive figures, one each based on the game’s starring trio. The boys’ designs are based on their toy looks from a new world, inspired by the film Toy Story. But if you’re going to be shelling out the cost of a PS4, you’re probably doing

Vigor is a new survival game from Bohemia Interactive, makers of the Arma 3 infantry simulation and DayZ, the progenitor of the modern survival shooter. The game is coming exclusively to Xbox One through the Game Preview early access program later this year. It’s the first time that Bohemia Interactive has used the Unreal Engine for a commercial video game. Traditionally, Bohemia has relied on its own proprietary game engine called Real Virtuality to create games in the Arma series. Second, Vigo

Overkill’s The Walking Dead, the four-player co-op zombie shooter from Overkill Software, will be released Nov. 6 on PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One, publisher 505 Games announced today with a trailer that debuted during the PC Gaming Show at E3 2018. The trailer, which you can watch above, is the first gameplay trailer for Overkill’s The Walking Dead. And of course, the trailer also shows off hordes of zombies and a variety of ways in which the heroes can kill them. Overkill’s The Walkin

This is the year of battle royale games, and Cyanide & Happiness are looking to get in on the action with Rapture Rejects. A trailer Rapture Rejects for played during E3’s PC Gaming show that showed adorable characters based on Cyanide & Happiness’ iconic aesthetic battling it out with one another as they fight to survive the rapture. Unlike Fortnite or Realm Royale or seemingly any other battle royale game available to play right now, Rapture Rejects sets players in a hellish version of the wor

Sega is bringing Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise — the Fist of the North Star game from the Yakuza team (known as Hokuto ga Gotoku in Japan) — to North America and Europe. Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise will tell an alternate version of the Fist of the North Star story. Kenshiro will have a variety of side activities, including bartending, managing a nightclub, buggy racing and playing retro games — including the original Fist of the North Star video game. The North American and Eur

Microsoft’s decision to delay Crackdown 3 leaves the publisher with a relatively slim collection of exclusives for this holiday season. Things are getting more time, even if it hurts, because I’m sure you would love to have Crackdown 3 ready for the holiday. How much can we read into this delay in terms of the direction Microsoft is heading in the future? Second part is that we really want to make games that have the opportunity to become a franchise that can sit next to Halo, sit next to Gears.

This new demo is all about one of my favorite pastimes, petting a cat. It’s made by Leap Motion, which is best known for its tech work on virtual reality and augmented reality control and interfaces. So the cat’s more than just a bag of fur, it’s a whole cat, with all its insides just waiting to be explored. In a statement on its YouTube page, Leap Motion points out the advantages of VR exploration. “VR interactions have the potential to be easier and more intuitive than with any other technolog

She’s more than just the frontwoman of a rising indie pop band, of course; she’s an artist, and a writer. Now she’s branching out into a much larger project: creating the ambient sounds of Sable. That’s what drew her to the game, she explained, just as much as her interest in exploring the world of game music. The game stars Sable, a young traveler who ends up on an entirely different planet. “I just want to make something that’s fun to listen to.

Naughty Dog’s latest trailer for The Last of Us Part 2, which the studio debuted tonight during Sony’s E3 2018 press briefing, takes a somewhat different tack than the hard-to-watch trailer from Paris Games Week 2017. Then the segment shifted to footage from the game, which began with a cutscene of Ellie and a male friend named Jesse being wallflowers at a dance. It sounds like Joel is around at this point: Jesse refers to Ellie’s “dad,” saying that he laid into Jesse. Then another friend — or p

Destiny 2: Forsaken was recently revealed as the game’s fall expansion during a Bungie livestream. At the Sony E3 2018 press conference, Forsaken got another trailer — with this one focusing on the expansion’s story. As initially revealed, it appears that Cayde-6 has gotten himself into trouble again, but he won’t weasel his way out of it this time. This new cinematic trailer shows the death of Cayde-6 and the return of Prince Uldren Sov. The final shot of the trailer looks to be the player’s Gu

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is available on PlayStation Plus tonight. It’s a prelude to an offer Sony just unveiled for Black Ops 4. According to the deal, fans who pre-order Black Ops 4 will get fan-favorite maps designed for that game, on Black Ops 3. Sony says it wants to put Activision’s Black Ops 3 on subscription service PlayStation Plus, so as many people as possible can benefit from the offer. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 from developer Treyarch will be released Oct. 12 on PlayStation 4, Wind

Sony debuted new gameplay footage from its upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive, Ghost of Tsushima — and it’s stunning. The trailer focused heavily on the Mongol invasion of the Japanese island of Tsushima. The character, who appears to be one of the last remaining samurai, roams around the area, taking on enemies from the invasion. The last remaining samurai fights enters into a reluctant fight with one of his own allies as tensions grow. We first got a brief look at Ghost of Tsushima, the latest g

Remedy has announced its new game, Control, during Sony’s 2018 E3 press conference, and it looks … strange? The game is coming in 2019, and features a female protagonist who shoots enemies with a shape-shifting gun. It’s the sort of thing that doesn’t give us much to go on, but Remedy’s track record speaks for itself. The Alan Wake and Quantum Break developer has talked about having another game in development for years, but details have been scant. You can look at the gallery of screenshots b

Capcom revealed the first look at its remake of Resident Evil 2 today during Sony’s PlayStation E3 2018 press conference, revealing a massive overhaul of the classic survival horror game.

Nioh, Team Ninja’s long-in-development action title that finally saw release early last year, is getting a sequel, as just revealed during Sony’s PlayStation E3 press conference. Titled simple Nioh 2, there’s not much to go on outside of the brief teaser. You can see what appears to be the protagonist struck down, only to pull demon horns out of his head (?) Death defies you …Nioh is frequently compared to FromSoftware’s Souls games, matching complicated and punishing combat with other hallmar

Insomniac Games brought more gameplay footage from the imminent title, featuring Spider-Man quelling a riot at Marvel Comics’ supermax prison, the Raft. But eventually, using his ability to move through power lines, Electro took the fight out of the building and lead Spider-Man on a merry web-slinging chase — followed by a five-way supervillain beatdown on our poor Wall-Crawler. “The greatest thing about working on a Spider-Man game is that you’re working on a Spider-Man game,” Jon Paquette, lea
