Sony @ E3 13: Final Fantasy Versus XIII is now Final Fantasy XV, coming to PS4
A very cinematic trailer for Final Fantasy Versus XIII (which is now coming to the PS4) was shown during the Sony E3 conference, and definitely showcases the talent at Square Enix. It even has a new title to go along with its new home: Final Fantasy XV.
So FF Versus XIII is alive and well, but it still doesn’t have a release date. Teases.

Sony @ E3 13: Transistor coming to PS4
The first indie game announced for the PS4 is Supergiant’s Transistor. The game made its debut at PAX East 2013 in playable form, for then unknown platforms. But now we know at least one of the platforms where the very futuristic and Tron-esque isometric title will land.
More on Transistor as it becomes available.

Sony @ E3 13: Quantic Dream’s The Dark Sorcerer tech demo shown
Quantic Dream used Sony’s E3 Press Conference to show off their first tech demo based on the PS4’s specifications. The mini-movie, which isn’t in development as a game, is known as The Dark Sorcerer.
The cheeky teaser was only a few minutes long but it did include a sorcerer. And not just any sorcerer, but a dark sorcerer. Or rather, a dark-comedy sorcerer.
Sony @ E3 13: The Order 1886 announced
Sony Santa Moncia Studios and Ready At Dawn unveiled their new PS4 title, The Order 1886, during Sony’s E3 Press Conference today. The footage shown, shot entirely in-game, looks to be a steampunk Castlevania: Lords of Shadows mixed Left 4 Dead. I’m impressed.
Can’t wait to hear more.

Tom Clancy’s The Division is a next-gen MMO that proves Ubisoft is scared of everything
Ubisoft announced Watch Dogs at last year’s E3 Expo and made the world scared of the “all seeing eye” that is the interconnected computer systems of a modern city. This year, they’ve gone one further and announced Tom Clancy’s The Division, a multiplayer online action RPG developed by Massive Entertainment for the PS4 and Xbox One that chronicles a nationwide pandemic with paper money at the zero point:
The Division takes place in New York three weeks after a lethal virus, released on Black Friday, has swept through the city. One by one, basic services have failed. Society has collapsed into chaos. The President invokes Presidential Directive 51, and The Division, a top-secret unit of self-supporting tactical agents, is activated. Leading seemingly ordinary lives, Division agents are trained to operate independently of command in this type of emergency situation. When the lights go out, their mission begins.
So according to Watch Dogs, credit cards are evil. And according to The Division, paper money will be our downfall. Thanks for that, Ubisoft! As if I didn’t worry about the future enough as it is.
You can definitely see the stylistic similarities between the debut trailers for Tom Clancy’s The Division and Watch Dogs, but you can check out the former’s hybird RPG/shooter style in a seven-minute gameplay trailer after the break. (more…)

Mirror’s Edge reboot coming to PC, PS4, Xbox One “when it’s ready”
Have Faith… Electronic Arts and DICE have announced a new Mirror’s Edge game is in development for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. But don’t expect to play it anytime soon as the game is described as being in the “early stages” and will be released “when it’s ready.”
“We introduced Mirror’s Edge and Faith to gamers five years ago, and we’ve waited for the right moment to reunite them,” said Sara Jansson, Senior Producer at DICE. “Thanks to the Frostbite engine and a new generation of platforms, we are now able to deliver a richer world that players will be able to explore with a new level of freedom in both movement and action.”
The Mirror’s Edge reboot (EA is refusing to call it a sequel) will tell “an all-new origin story for Faith.” Currently, it’s unclear how the original game’s story will fit into the rebooted Mirror’s Edge universe. The “origin story” logline points towards this game being a prequel. But then where does all the reboot talk fit?
But it’s coming, that’s the important thing.
Watch “Exposed,” the Watch Dogs E3 2013 trailer, right here
It seems like not a month goes by without the release a new trailer for Watch Dogs. And with the E3 Expo just a few hours away, Ubisoft has released a “Exposed,” an all-CGI affair that definitely qualifies as ridiculously awesome.
This time, Aiden Pearce uses his hacking skills to infiltrate a human trafficking ring and exacts some Liam Neeson-style vengeance on the “auctioneer” and his accomplices.
Trust me, if you do nothing else today, you want to take three minutes and 30 seconds out of your day to check it out.
