Sony @ E3 14: Bloodborne announced
Sony’s next PS4 trailer in their jam-packed E3 Press Conference is for Bloodborne, a dark and disturbing title that looks like a cross between Castlevania and Silent Hill. Previously known as Project Beast, not much was shown of the From Software-developed game, but what was looks amazing.
Bloodborne is set for release in 2015.

Sony @ E3 14: Entwined announced, available tonight
Next up on Sony’s E3 announcement block is Entwined, a trippy-looking PS4 title where you control two phoenix-looking souls with the DualShock 4’s sticks. The game looks beautiful – a lot like Rez – but a lot more tranquil.
Surprise – the PS4 game is available right now for $9.99 – so go get it!
Sony @ E3 14: Destiny gets an epic story trailer

Furthermore, gamers can go to GreatnessAwaits.com/destiny and register to play an early “alpha” version of the game this weekend only!

Whew!
Ubisoft’s The Crew will be available on November 11
Ubisoft’s The Crew finally has a release date. The publisher’s massively mutiplayer racer will be available for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One on November 11. You can check out the game’s ultra-fast E3 trailer above.
Ubisoft @ E3 14: Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege announced
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot popped up at the end of the publisher’s E3 Press Conference with a big ending. Guillemot blew the roof off the building with the unveiling of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege. In a heavily-scripted gameplay video pulled from a multiplayer game, we see one team storm a house to rescue a hostage, while another team tries to take out their attackers.
“If you look at long-range battle, you will find Battlefield. If you’re looking for short-to-medium-range battle, you will find Call of Duty,” said Creative Director Xavier Marquis. “In the short range, no one exists but us.”
While the attackers appear to have more advanced tech to track their opponents, the defending team can barricade themselves into rooms by blocking windows and setting boobytraps. The game also appears to have totally destructible environments.
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege currently has no release date, but will likely be available for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. This means that Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Patriots is most likely no more.
FIFA 15 lets you “feel” the game on September 23
So, in case you didn’t know, I’m British. Therefore, I must love football soccer – right? Well, no. However, I do love actor, and totally cool dude, Idris Elba. It’s this fact which makes the FIFA 15 E3 trailer exciting to me.
If you don’t love Luther, FIFA 15 will apparently boast player emotions, allowing soccerballers to react to bad tackles, missed penalties, and fantastic goals – just like in real life. Of course, there will also be plenty of tweaks to the presentation including new bench reactions, sideline character animations, 10-man goal celebrations, and more. This is alongside prettier graphics, better AI, and some smaller added details, all of which will probably make for the best FIFA yet.
But, then again, EA says that every year. FIFA 15 will be available for the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and “other platforms” on September 23 (September 25 in Europe).
Now this is hidden treasure… Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris announced
Everyone expected to see a sequel to 2013’s Tomb Raider at this year’s E3 Expo and Crystal Dynamics did not disappoint with Rise of the Tomb Raider. However, another Tomb Raider sequel announced today is a bit of a surprise. A welcome one, but a surprise all the same.
Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have announced Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, a sequel to 2010’s much beloved Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. The overhead puzzle platformer ups the number of co-op players to four and includes bigger setpieces all around:
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris takes place deep in the deserts of Egypt. In her new adventure, Lara must join forces with rival treasure hunter Carter Bell and imprisoned gods Horus and Isis, to defeat the evil god Set. As Lara and her companions fight the elements of nature across the sands and through ancient tombs, they will battle legendary deities and creatures of myth. With the fate of the world at stake, Lara must recover the fragments of Osiris to stop Set from enslaving all mankind.
No release date was announced, but we do know that Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris will be “Coming Soon” for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
