Another surprise announcement during the Sony E3 Press Conference was a remastering of Tim Schaefer’s classic Grim Fandango!
Not much was shown on the title other than some art, but that’s all it needed to drive the audience to mad applause. Grim Fandango will be available exclusively for the PS4 and Vita.
Another title revealed during Sony’s presser was Dead Island 2 for the PS4.
Keeping with the tradition of awesome Dead Island trailers, this one showcased a jogger listening to music on his headphones, completely oblivious to the chaos that is erupting all around him. It’s hilarious. And we’ll be sure to post it later this week.
Dead Island 2 (which is technically the third Dead Island game, but who’s counting?) will also feature a 30-day beta exclusive to PS4. More details on that will be revealed in the future.
A huge announcement for Far Cry 4! in addition to unveiling an awesome gameplay demo, Sony announced that you will only need one copy of the game in order to play the game’s two-player co-op mode online!
This goes for both the PS3 and PS4 versions of the game, and is Sony-exclusive.
During their 2014 E3 Press Conference, Sony showed a very brief trailer for InFamous: First Light, an all-new add-on chapter related to the PS4 title InFamous: Season Son. Though First Light will standalone and doesn’t require Second Son to play. The protagonist in this story is Fetch, and she appears to have some pretty neat Neon abilities.
InFamous: First Light is set for release this August.
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.
Continuing with the surprises, Sony announced another big PS4 title: LittleBigPlanet 3!
The third iteration of the series brings new characters Oddsock (a SackDog), Toggle (a SackBrawler), and Swoop (a SackBird) to the game, further placing importance on cooperation. Each character will have their own abilities. Swoop can fly, Oddsock can run up walls, and Toggle’s weight can trip switches. Toggle can also become tiny in order to fit in small places.
Expect LBP3 to hit stores in November.
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 kicked off their E3 Press Conference with a story-driven trailer for the upcoming blockbuster Destiny. Not only that, but it was also announced that PS4 users will be able to play the Destiny beta starting July 17! Furthermore, gamers can go to GreatnessAwaits.com/destiny and register to play an early “alpha” version of the game this weekend only!
Finally, On September 9, Sony will also release a new white PS4, complete with a copy of Destiny and a 30-day trial for PlayStation Plus.
Whew!
