Whilst InFamous Second Son was only just released this year, Sucker Punch Studios have already been working on new content that takes the InFamous story into new pastures. InFamous Last Light was revealed at E3 this week, and it has been named as a standalone DLC for Second Son that takes a focus on Abigail Walker, AKA Fetch, and the origins of her powers.
We're not sure why Sucker Punch Studios decided to create the new InFamous content as a standalone package, but it will mean players who are new to the series will be able to play through Last Light without owning InFamous Second Son.
Hopefully Last Light will have a regular DLC price, despite being a standalone product, however so far we're not sure what the actual price will be, or how much content the standalone DLC will include.
What we do know though is that if you have enjoyed any of the previous InFamous games, you may want to pick up Last Light as it takes a further delve into the origins of the franchise,

Whether or not you're a fan of the fun and friendly universe of Little Big Planet, there's no doubt that the series has helped to shape part of what it means to own a PlayStation, so I'm sure Sony were pretty excited to announce their third main entry in the franchise, Little Big Planet 3.
Little Big Planet will bring a bunch of new changes to the LBP franchise, as well as bringing a new roster of characters to the scene. Each of the new characters will have certain attributes that will make them useful for certain situations, adding more of a dynamic to the Little Big Planet experience.
The most interesting take on the new slew of characters is that players will be encouraged to team up and make use of each character's abilities together to complete certain levels. Sony have definitely tried to focus on cooperative gameplay with Little Big Planet 3, and I think this will make for a great party game or a way to spend the evening with your family.

After the countless leaks over the past few months, we all knew it was coming, but this week Sony finally made things official by showing off a brand new Uncharted 4 reveal trailer at this year's E3.
If you picked up a PlayStation 3 in the early stages of it's life then you're probably quite familiar with the Uncharted series by now, and you may even feel a certain attachment to the franchise. That's understandable, because the Uncharted series has always been an incredibly enjoyable piece of work, and if the new E3 Uncharted 4 reveal trailer is anything to go by, Sony and Naughty Dog studios are going to make sure that same experience remains true for the latest game in the series.
Uncharted 4 has been subtitled A Thief's End, perhaps hinting to the end of series protagonist Drake in some fashion, whether his end is met by death, or simply an early retirement is unclear at the moment, but all of the rumors that suggested Uncharted 4 was going to be a lot more story-driven

Despite a bunch of new reveals and trailers for The Order 1886, Sony has officially made a statement to inform fans that the upcoming cover based third person shooter title will be pushed back to sometime in 2015.
This is now the third title for the PlayStation 4 that has been delayed since the release of the console, along with Watch_Dogs and DRIVECLUB. Whilst it is disappointing to have to deal with all of these delays, it's usually all for good reason. Without these delays, the games would be released in an unfinished state, and it's good that developers are pushing for the very best before releasing their upcoming video games.
Ready At Dawn's new IP was originally planned for release at some point in 2014, and upon release of the PlayStation 4, it was even considered to be a potential launch window title. However, The Order 1886 has not been quite up to par as far as the developers working on the project are concerned, and for this reason it has now been delayed till a

You may be getting a little tired with hearing leaks and rumors from "insiders" instead of actual official news from the developers behind the games they are supposedly involved with, but you do end up picking up bits of information from these "insiders" that developers aren't quite ready to share yet.
According to Tidux, a pretty well known profile when it comes to game industry leaks, the next Uncharted game will be "darker" than previous games when it comes to the story line. Uncharted 4 will also have more of a focus on the story than previous games in the franchise, suggesting that it will take a delve into the hearts of some of the characters in the series.
Tidux also mentioned that despite the game having a more story-driven experience, Uncharted 4 will be "blended with some awesome epic moments," suggesting that the game will still have just as many action packed moments as previous games in the series.
Tidux's final comment on Uncharted 4 is that the game will

Deep Down is a title that could possibly be a complete success for Capcom, or an absolute failure, but at this point in time, details on the actual game are on the low. So far, we're all waiting to be able to get our hands on the new PS4 exclusive title by Capcom, but we've still got quite a lot of waiting to do before Deep Down is finally released.
Capcom have been pretty quiet recently, but this week two new screenshots of Deep Down were shared on Twitter, marking the first time any new content for the game has been shared for a few months. Both of the new screenshots show off gorgeous 1080P graphics from the game, although nothing can be seen in the images besides from the background environment and a player in knight's armor.
Along with the screenshots, Kazunori Sugiura, Capcom's producer, revealed a bit of information about the release scheduled for Deep Down. Despite not giving any firm dates, he did confirm that the public beta test for Deep Down should be available

Guerrilla Games won't be working on a new Killzone game for their next title release, but instead will focus on a brand new IP, according to a new job listing by the development studio.
According to the job listing, the new IP by Guerrilla Games will feature online multiplayer, singleplayer and co-op experiences, however no other information from the studio has been given.
Luckily though, a bit of information has leaked from an insider, who also leaked content on the PS4 1.70 update, so although the information from the tipster may be false, it's pretty likely the information shared could be pretty on track with Guerrilla Game's plans for the future.
The insider revealed that Guerrilla Games plan to reveal their new game at E3 this year, and despite Killzone Shadowfall selling over 2 million copies, it's definitely clear that the upcoming game will be a completely new IP.
Like all of Guerrilla Game's titles, the new IP will be exclusive to Sony, and will be developed

DRIVECLUB was originally planned as a launch window title for the PlayStation 4, and it was definitely one of the few games that really interested a large portion of gamers. However, since then it has been delayed at least a couple of times, and it's left a lot of us a little bit disappointed.
Luckily Sony never gave up on the project though, and finally we now have details on the final release date for DRIVECLUB. In a new trailer, the gorgeous world of DRIVECLUB is shown off to viewers, and the release date for the title is then revealed near the end of the video.
Sony and Evolution Studios revealed in the new trailer that DRIVECLUB will be released on October 8th, and this time round it sounds like they are actually going to stick to that date.
After DRIVECLUB was first pushed back, Sony revealed that the game should have been released in early 2014, but that date was then cancelled again. The October 8th date is the first official date revealed after that point,

The EU free game lineup for PlayStation Plus subscribers has been revealed, and the available games will be put live from April 30th till the end of May. It seems Sony are constantly trying to offer more and more for their subscribers, and this month things are looking pretty special.
First up for the PlayStation 4 this month is Stick it to The Man, a strange and wacky title that probably wouldn't be something you'd consider buying, but surprisingly has a few hours worth of fun content in.
On the PlayStation 3, Payday 2 will be made available for free this month. In Payday 2, players can team up with their friends to complete bank robberies, jewelry store heists, and much more. The game is fairly new and is definitely worth checking out. After collecting stolen goods, you can transfer the cash to your in-game account and purchase new weapons, gear and unlock special abilities.
Puppeteer has also been made available for free in May - this title follows the story of a

From what we've seen the Unreal Engine 4 looks absolutely stunning. Unreal Engine 3 has been used for years, and despite now being many years old, games can still look beautiful and run ridiculously smoothly when built on the Unreal Engine.
Hopefully the 4th rendition of Unreal Engine will be able to render even more life-like graphics whilst still staying smooth and easy on the eyes in terms of frame rate and overall performance.
We'll probably see dozens of Unreal Engine 4 powered games in the near future, and a brand new one that has just popped up is a thriller title by the name of Without Memory. This particular title is being developed by a Russian development studio by the name of Dinosaurum Games, and it is planned for a release some time in 2016.
In Without Memory, the player will follow the story of a girl who awoke in the middle of a forest without any prior memories, and according to Dinosaurum Games, this 'interactive thriller' will have tens of endings.
