UncategorizedGran Turismo 6 Looks Amazing—On the PlayStation 3
This video for Gran Turismo 6 makes it hard to remember that this is, ahem, “just” a current-generation console game. New physics engine, new tire modeling, new aerodynamics model, I can nod my head approvingly and pretend I know what all that means, really. A new rendering engine> Adoptive tesselation? Just keep nodding and smiling.

This Is What The PlayStation 4 Looks Like
Sony didn’t really reveal the PS4 at its February unveiling, because the PS4 itself wasn’t shown. Maybe the design wasn’t ready, maybe Sony was just holding out, doesn’t matter, because today we finally got a look at the thing. It’s a black box. Just like you asked for!

I Can Get Behind This Xbox One Game’s Use of the Cloud
It’s easy to be skeptical that Xbox One developer’s claims that their games will benefit from cloud computing. But, today, I talked to one and I like what he had to say. This was an impromptu chat. I was at Spike TV’s all-day All-Access E3 venue, sitting in the green room and waiting for my…

Assassin’s Creed IV Sure Looks Impressive. But I’m Still Wary.
At this point, there may be no hands-off preview I’m less willing to trust than an Assassin’s Creed demo. Last year, Assassin’s Creed III just looked so good, so full of potential… and the final product was a mess. So when I went and watched a big chunk of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag in…

UncategorizedBattlefield 4’s Singleplayer Footage Looks Bananas
Like it or not, EA’s Battlefield series is once again trying to take a bite out of Call of Duty with a singleplayer campaign. Whether it gets any more enjoyable, we won’t know until we play it. But they at least seem to be going overboard on the spectacle, as we see here with a…sinking…

The Division‘s Dirty Money Reminds You to Use Plastic Next Time
Ubisoft just showed off The Division, in which future America is decimated by a plague transmitted through the currency—transmitted on Black Friday, no less. At the end of the presentation, Ubisoft rained down this pseudo-infected moolah on attendees. That sounds awful. The worst an E3 goer must deal with is extreme B.O. and swamp ass…
