Payday 2: Crimewave Edition is coming to PS4 and Xbox One, developer Overkill Software and publisher 505 Games announced yesterday (Thursday).
The Crimewave Edition will include “enhanced features and a stash of new bonus content, giving fans the ultimate PAYDAY experience”. No release date was specified.
The co-op heist shooter released on Steam, PS3, and Xbox 360 in August of last year. It was followed with a stream of free and paid DLC, adding new weapons, gear, and missions to the game.
Minecraft on Playstation 4 will feature worlds 36 times bigger than the ones you might be used to on Playstation 3. Existing players will be able to import Playstation 3 saves to the Playstation 4 version, allowing them to continue work on an immense structure or delve even deeper towards the Nether.
Making old saves compatible with the newer versions of the game was priority for Mojang and our trusted developer chums at 4J. We value the loyalty of the Sony fans who bought Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition last year, and want to make things as simple as possible for any early adopters. I’ve experienced the pain of lost progress many times; it’s not cool.
For similar reasons, anyone who’s previously bought Playstation 3 Edition will be able to upgrade to Playstation 4 Edition for a small fee. This applies to everyone who’s bought Minecraft digitally and transfers their PSN account to their new console. Our intention is to make this work for the disc version of Minecraft too, but it’s proving a bit trickier to set up. We’ll post more info on this as soon as possible.
The clever devs at 4J are also taking advantage of the Dualshock 4′s unique features. You’ll be able to navigate all the menus (and craft) by using the touchpad and, of course, share and stream your experiences thanks to Playstation 4′s built-in social thingymabobs. It’s all completely optional, so don’t worry if you’re not keen on moving your thumbs or showing off your skills.
There’ll be a heap of Trophies to be earned for the hunters and a bunch of Sony-specific DLC coming soon after release. While I’m talking facts, I may as well mention that Minecraft will support up to eight players online, and up to four of those will be able to log in via one Playstation 4 thanks to the compact convenience of split-screen.
I don’t think anyone at Mojang is entirely sure why Minecraft has been quite so successful over the past few years, but all of us have experienced the fun of playing and witnessed it capture the imagination of spectators and backseat gamers, no matter their age or gender.
Nathan Drake voice actor Nolan North believes that Uncharted 4 could be the last game in the series. Speaking to IGN North said that while nothing is confirmed, Naughty Dog isn’t planning another sequel.
“It’s bittersweet but at a certain point you want to go out on top,” North explained.
“If this is the last one indeed, and I believe it’s the last one – nothing’s confirmed, but I believe it’s the last one Naughty Dog wants to do.”
North added that he hopes another studio doesn’t take over development.
“I hope somebody else doesn’t pick up the mantle because they’ve done it so well for so long – but yeah, it’s one of those things where you just have to cross that bridge when you get to it.
“I like the idea of going out on top so we better do a hell of a job with this one… and it’s already looking pretty good.”
Sony this week released an Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End teaser trailer during its conference at E3.
A special The Last of Us content, Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition will also include The Transmog Set from Shadow of the Colossus on PS3 and PS4.
Players who purchase Ultimate Evil Edition for the PS3 or PS4 will receive the Guise of the Colossi, a set of transmogrification plans that unlock six armour appearances inspired by Shadow of the Colossus.

Hideo Kojima revealed some new details on The Phantom Pain’s multiplayer, revealing that players will be able to customise their own offshore HQ’s using their smart devices, or in the game itself.

The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo announced more details about the new Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire video games, launching in the United States 21st November for the Nintendo 3DS.
Begin Your Hoenn Adventure!
Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire both begin in the Hoenn region’s Littleroot Town. Hoenn is made up of a main island that stretches widely from east to west, along with countless small islets that dot the deep blue sea around it. While a live volcano steams constantly in the heart of this green-covered island, the Hoenn region is blessed with a rich diversity of nature and a variety of Pokémon and people who live together in harmony. Players choose to play as either a male or female character, and to traverse this special region, they will need to choose between a Mach Bike, which is geared for speed and can roll up steep slopes, or the Acro Bike, which can hop over narrow bridges and up stepping stones.
Players will also need to choose their first partner Pokémon: Treecko, Torchic, or Mudkip. Treecko is a Grass-type Pokémon that becomes one of the fastest Grass types after it evolves intoGrovyle and then Sceptile. Torchic, a Fire-type Pokémon, gains the Fighting type after growing and evolving into Combusken and then into Blaziken, which has an incredibly high Special Attack. Mudkip is a strong Water-type Pokémon that gains the Ground type and an increased Attack after evolving into Marshtomp and eventually Swampert.
New Mega Evolutions!
During the game, both the male and female character will become equipped with a Mega Bracelet set with a Key Stone. The Key Stone, along with a Pokémon’s Mega Stone, is needed to achieve Mega Evolution, giving players access to Mega Evolution in battle.
Revealed in the announcement are Mega Sceptile, Mega Swampert, and a Mega Blaziken that can learn a Flying-type move, which is incredibly rare for a non–Flying-type Pokémon like Blaziken.
Friends and Foes in Hoenn
While traversing the Hoenn region, players will encounter two evil organizations with opposing aims that are locked in struggle. In Pokémon Omega Ruby, Maxie leads Team Magma as it seeks to seize more power and expand the landmass in the Hoenn region. Team Aqua takes a more prominent role in Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, seeking to raise the oceans all around Hoenn under leader Archie’s command. Players will find themselves drawn into the conflict between the two sides—however, the story will be different based on whether a person plays Pokémon Omega Ruby or Pokémon Alpha Sapphire!
Players will also befriend Steven, a mysterious and elegant young man with a great interest in collecting rare stones. He recognizes the player’s talent and wants to lend his help in the pursuit of the true story behind the origins of Mega Evolution and the Legendary Pokémon.
A Shining New Mega Evolved Pokémon
In other Pokémon video game news, it was revealed today that when players transfer Mythical Pokémon Diancie from Pokémon X or Pokémon Y into Pokémon Omega Ruby or Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, it can Mega Evolve in battle after obtaining its Mega Stone. When Diancie Mega Evolves into Mega Diancie, the impurities on its body’s surface fall away, and it sparkles so brilliantly it’s impossible to look directly at it. Mega Diancie can make good use of the Fairy-type move Dazzling Gleam, which deals great damage to your opponent by unleashing powerful beams of light. In Double Battle, the move will strike both of the opposing Pokémon.
Respawn has posted update details for Titanfall which will arrive sometime this month (June). It includes new game modes, new abilities for Titans and more.
