New trailer. It takes place from the perspective of a mouse or rat as they skitter around shelves. Two men fight, knocking things over. We rat gets squished and the camera pulls back. Read more

Another trailer. A woman with a transforming gun talks cryptically about “going deeper” and we get some pretty exciting scenery. She’s using telekinesis and other powers. The game is called Control and is made by Remedy and 505 Games. Read more

After rescuing a helpless man the scene turns tense as Jin and his companion disagree over what to do with him. We’re getting a sword duel in the sunset and it’s pretty rad. Read more

Shifting to some stealth as the swordsman, Jin, and a companion sneak into a compound with enemies. It has a very Tenchu vibe. Read more

We have some combat now. It’s pretty bloody as the swordsman cuts down enemies, sometimes in one blow. Read more

A new trailer starts up. A brewing storm swirls about a forest while a lone swordsman and a horse walk into view. Action moves directly into gameplay as the swordsman walks through a muddy battlefield. The lighting looks great! Read more

In a new theater, a man wearing a kasa plays the pipes. Definitely setting the stage for Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima. Read more

There were some technical difficulties on Twitch, so I hopped to a new feed. We have some Destiny 2 on screen right now. The Forsaken DLC is coming on September 4th. Read more

It appears they were vamping for time while attendees were moved from the church set to seats elsewhere. Read more

We now have a quick trailer with big games we’ve already seen and some smaller games too. Tetris Effect, Days Gone, Ghost Giant, Beat Saber for PSVR. Read more

Classic Call of Duty maps are going to be available in Black Ops IIII and Black Ops III. The latter game is coming to Playstation Plus sometime tonight. Read more

We’re getting a trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII (yes, I wrote it like that) right now. Lots of pounding drum music while a bullet flies through scenery. Read more

Layden says not to expect a new, flashy surprise. Mentions Spider Man, Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima. Read more

They’re now asking about New Game Plus for God of War. Layden says that it’s definitely going to happen. Read more

I can’t recall another example, no. Layden’s at a table talking up the game and Sony. No sign of Naughty Dog VP Neil Druckmann, who I wish was the one getting interviewed. Read more

The action shows off a lot of slinking between store shelves and on the fly crafting. Ellie bests her hunters and the scene cuts back to the dance scene. No release date stated. Read more

A really nice piece of animation as Ellie runs, picks up a bottle and immediately throws it at an enemy. Read more

This is an extended sequence with a little bit of everything you might expect from The Last of Us. Ellie is noticed and flees, sneaking into tall grass and then under a truck while the strangers search for her. Really tense stuff. Read more

The duo kisses. “I think they should be terrified of you.” The scene changes to Ellie in the forest, killing someone. It transitions seamlessly into gameplay. Read more
