Such is the relentless pace of E3 that you'd be forgiven for not remembering the finer details - or any details - of Oculus' press event late last week, where the VR specialists unveiled the final, consumer-ready build of the Oculus Rift headset. While price details and a concrete due date remained under wraps, it was here where the company opened up about the specs of the head-mounted device, though all of this was naturally tailored toward the PC audience.
Perhaps spurred by the overly positive reception to Mass Effect: Andromeda, publisher EA has played down rumors of a potential remastered version of the old trilogy, instead delegating resources to new projects.
Before E3 2015 kicked off in earnest, the We Got This Covered team hunkered down to pinpoint the games we wanted to see announced during the course of this year's trade show. Among the usual suspects - read: Red Dead Redemption 2 and Half-Life 3 - was an all-new entry in the Metroid Prime series. Since the tepid release of Other M, fans of the esteemed franchise have been left wanting for a bona fide console experience set in the sci-fi universe.
Despite the fact that The Big N ruled out the possibility of discussing its nebulous Nintendo NX hardware, the arrival of the console - whenever that may be - has still piqued the interest of the gaming community. But what does that mean for the Wii U and its slate of upcoming titles? While we can't conclusively comment on the status of the system itself, Game Designer Shigeru Miyamoto assured fans that one of its most anticipated games, The Legend of Zelda, is still on course for a Wii U release.
With the Xbox One multiplayer beta well underway, Microsoft has debuted a bevy of screenshots from the upcoming Gears of War Ultimate Edition, showcasing Marcus Fenix and his loyal band of space marines locking horns with the Locus threat.
Fresh off bringing its supernatural thriller Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy to PC platforms earlier this year, French developer Quantic Dreams has took to PlayStation Blog to confirm that both Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls are headed to PlayStation 4.
Last year, we witnessed the rudimentary beginnings of a rather exciting trend, with indie games such as Entwined jumping on the play-it-right-now bandwagon. Fast forward to E3 2015 and we've already seen various publishers experimenting with the direct approach, opening up betas for upcoming games before the curtain falls. For Bethesda, that crowd-pleaser was Fallout Shelter, a themed mobile game based on the Fallout universe.
Sony may be treating the studio's alarmingly huge space sim as a pseudo-exclusive, but during last night's PC Gaming Show, Hello Games' Sean Murray confirmed that No Man's Sky will launch for PlayStation 4 and PC platforms at the same time.
Against all odds, Sony pulled Team Ico's AWOL adventure title The Last Guardian from the twilight zone on Monday evening, re-revealing the mystical game to the PlayStation masses and confirming a PS4 release for 2016 all in one fell swoop.
Aside from sequels to Gears of War and Halo, Microsoft's rabbit-out-of-the-hat moment during its E3 press conference on Monday was undeniably the announcement that backwards compatibility will be introduced for Xbox One in the near future, opening up "hundreds" of existing Xbox 360 games across physical and digital. As such, it's understandable that PlayStation fans have been wondering whether the feature would migrate over onto PlayStation 4? In short: not a hope.
