The late great comedian Mitch Hedberg once said, “You need to start a show strong and end a show strong. You can’t be like pancakes… all exciting at first, but by the end you’re sick of ’em.”

Taking this advice to heart, Sony finished their E3 2014 Press Conference with a trailer for the much-anticipated Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. The title doesn’t bode well for our hero Nathan Drake and his PS4 debut, but you know it’s going to be amazing.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End hits stores in 2015.

Wondering what Suda51 and Grashopper Manufacture are up to these days? Well, judging by the live-action trailer Sony unveiled for Let it Die, it’s pretty much the same.

No footage of the game was shown, but based on the trailer it looks to be an extremely violent multiplayer arena killfest. The release date was a vague 2015, but the title is PS4-exclusive – so there’s that. The trailer will be available post soon enough.

We already knew the Ratchet & Clank movie was coming soon, but what came as a surprise is that a remake of the first game in the franchise, also titled Ratchet & Clank, will be released for the PS4 in early 2015. Which is roughly the same time as the movie.

Makes sense.

Add another surprise to Sony’s E3 Press Conference: Grand Theft Auto V is coming to the PS4 this Fall. Or rather, not much of a surprise at all as we knew Rockstar was developing a new-generation game and what else is it going to be?

But the big news is the fact that you’ll be able to transfer your GTA Online profile from both the PS3 AND the Xbox 360 versions of the title to the PS4 version. Hmm, something tells me Rockstar will announce an Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V tomorrow…
