Watch 15 minutes of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End
Today at the PlayStation Experience it kicked off with a first look at gameplay for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. Nathan Drake’s latest adventure showed off more of the shooting, exploration, and stunning environments that the Uncharted series has become recognized for.
The presentation wasn’t always pretty, with Drake falling through a piece of the map at one point, but the display was an impressive one, nonetheless. It was especially so, in light of the early disclaimer that this was all running on PS4 hardware, rather than a PC dev kit. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.
The game was running at 1080p at 30 frames per second, and will release in 2015.

Watch the new Dying Light story trailer
In the latest trailer for Dying Light, Techland for the first time ever give a sneak peek into the storyline of their open-world, action survival game.
Looking for inspirations for Dying Light, we delved into classics of international literature, such as Albert Camus’s The Plague and Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness,” explains Rafał Orkan, a novelist and co-author of Dying Light’s story. “With our game, we wanted to evoke similar emotions and offer players an insight into how people react to the extreme.”
Roaming a city devastated by a mysterious epidemic that turns people into zombies, players will assume the role of Kyle Crane, an undercover operative sent to infiltrate the quarantine zone. Sheer chaos, warring factions and a suspicious mission all tug at Crane’s decisions for what he has been told is “the greater good”. Yet who decides when greater good turns into necessary evil?
“Going into Dying Light, I was blown away by the visuals of the game and was surprised by such a mature, intense script. I’m honored Techland let me be a small part of this gritty tale of survival. Can’t wait to see people’s reactions when they find out what’s really going on in the story and I can’t wait to play the game myself!” says Roger Craig Smith, the voice behind Kyle Crane and known from such popular titles as Batman: Arkham Origins and many more.
Dying Light Producer Tymon Smektala will also be live at this year’s Sony PSX event with a live stream right after the keynote address. Expect new gameplay, a new enemy type reveal and never before seen skills.
Tune into the official Sony Twitch channel or PlayStation Network at 11:30 PST on today 6th (December).
Dying Light is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the PC, and is scheduled for release in 2015 on 27th January in the Americas, 28th January in Asia, Australia and New Zealand, and 30th January in Europe.

Jamie N Commons to release music for BF Hardline
Visceral Games, and KIDinaKORNER / Interscope Records, today announced a partnership with hit musician, Jamie N Commons, to deliver his newest single “Karma” exclusively for Battlefield Hardline. The song will serve as the game’s theme music, setting the stage as gamers engross themselves on one side of the law or the other. This cops-vs-criminals fantasy first person shooter (FPS) combines an emotionally-driven single player story inspired by popular TV crime dramas and an all-out-war multiplayer on the streets of Los Angeles and Miami to deliver the most complete FPS on the market today.
“The music, and moreover the audio help create that emotional experience you want gamers to feel as they play in the world we’ve built for them,” said Steve Papoutsis, VP and General Manager of Visceral Games and Executive Producer of Battlefield Hardline. “With ‘Karma’, Jamie captured that gritty cop and criminals tone that defines Hardline, where not everyone is good and not everyone is bad, toeing that fine line of the law.”
Jamie, the artist behind the immensely popular tracks, “Jungle” and “Rumble and Sway”, wrote “Karma” exclusively for Battlefield Hardline with Alex Da Kid, acclaimed producer and Head of KIDinaKORNER. Jamie will be performing the song for the first time tonight at the Game Awards 2014 in Las Vegas in front of the live audience and to viewers watching from around the world. Tune in starting at 2am GMT tonight at http://thegameawards.com/watch-live/.
“I have been a longtime gamer and I could not pass up the opportunity to be involved with a franchise I respect as much as Battlefield,” said Jamie N Commons. “Earlier this year ‘Jungle’ was featured in the first Battlefield Hardline trailer, which was a total thrill. ‘Karma,’ however, was written specifically with the game in mind. The deep melodic beats and lyrics help express the game’s theme where actions have consequences, but sometimes those consequences come back full circle. I think gamers are going to love it.”

In celebration of International Ninja Day, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games and The LEGO Group today announced the next instalment of the LEGO Ninjago, LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin, which comes to the Nintendo 3DS and the PlayStation Vita in Spring 2015. Developed by TT Fusion, a subsidiary of TT Games, the latest LEGO handheld game delivers an untold story of the LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu TV show.
“LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin will be the most expansive adventure game through the Ninjago universe that we have ever made to-date,” said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games. “Kids will get a kick out of playing as their favourite Ninja warriors battling a new enemy with an exciting array of cool vehicles, mechs and even dragons!”
There is a new threat in Ninjago, and his name is Ronin. With help from his army of dark samurai, Ronin steals the Ninjas’ memories using an ancient weapon called the Obsidian Glaive. The Ninjas forget how to use their elemental powers, and it is up to the players to help them find their Obisidian weapons, regain their memories and reclaim their powers before Ronin completes his plan and releases an even greater evil on Ninjago.
In LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin players will battle through iconic locales from the TV series, including the Ice Temple, the Toxic Bogs, and a mysterious new island, as well as visit the mountain village of Spinjago, where the Ninjas are currently training with Grand Sensei Dareth and Sensei Wu. Using their Spinjitzu abilities, players can unleash their Ninja’s elemental power to smash their way through enemies and solve puzzles. They can even team up and create multi-elemental builds using the Tornado of Creation.
