Yeah, out on Wednesday.

Real or fake?

Xenji

If it is real, it is next months free PS4 game, but those dates do not make much sense, so I would say fake.

It is a Wednesday. Most new games in mainland Europe release on a Wednesday. Since it is a European developer it might be that.

It is a Friday in Europe when games get released and a Tuesday in the US, unless this is just a date for the PS+ demo and it is right with the Wednesday, but you would think the demo and full release would coincide as you are meant to be given the option the upgrade the demo to the full game.

It's a Friday here and in the UK, the rest of Europe is on Wednesday.

Edit; there are exceptions in mainland Europe but generally it's Wednesday, but it's always Friday here unless it's a fully digital release.

Might be American dates so the 4/9/2014 which is Thursday.

Dark Souls 2, Stick of Truth and Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster have a Friday release in France and Germany?

Must be exceptions then.

Uncharted 4 Engine videos.

Well one of them isn't

Stick of Truth
Germany, France (6/3) Thursday.

The exceptions are exceptions and generally all mainland European games aren't released on a Friday.

Look at the PSN update once and you'll see it easily, and Amazon don't adhere to the regional norm.

Sony have officially sold 6 million consoles since launch, this mean they have hit their estimate with a month to spare.

As you’ve probably read by now, cumulative PS4 sales have now surpassed six million units worldwide following the successful launch in Japan just over a week ago. It’s truly humbling to see the rate at which gamers across the globe are choosing PS4 as their next gen console of choice. Even more exciting is what happens when gamers power up their PS4s. In the United States, more than 90% of PS4s are online, enabling gamers to connect, compete and share their greatness with friends and fellow gamers.

Looks awesome, no gameplay though.

The developer that made Arkham a household name is back. Rocksteady Studios' Arkham Asylum innovated with the freeflow combat system and stalking gameplay in 2009, and the team blew it all out to an open world in 2011's Arkham City. Rocksteady is hoping to raise the bar even higher on what will be its final Arkham game. Set after the events of Arkham City, Batman: Arkham Knight may just end the Dark Knight's journey.

As you've probably guessed from the cover imagery, the Batmobile is finally a core element of the gameplay. An entirely new area of Gotham City, far larger than Arkham City, has much wider streets to accommodate the new driving gameplay that is designed to integrate smoothly with Batman's gliding and grappling traversal. Batman chases down super villains Scarecrow, Penguin, Two-Face, Harley Quinn, and more.

That game bored me on the PS3. Absolutely no way in hell would I upgrade it to a shinier model.

Uncharted creative director Amy Hennig departs Naughty Dog

Uncharted series creative director and writer Amy Hennig has left Naughty Dog after 10 years with the developer, IGN reports.

Citing numerous "trusted sources" close to Naughty Dog, IGN reports that Hennig was writing and leading the development of the next instalment of the Uncharted series for PlayStation 4 before her final day with the developer on March 3. According to IGN, sources claim the creative director was "forced out" of the company.

Not sure about the 'forced out' bit but Sony have since confirmed that Amy has left ND.

This is majorly disappointing. She is a fantastic writer and the main reason we have such good characters like Nate, Sully and Elena. I was also disappointed in Sony's reply, saying 'The development timeline of Uncharted will not be impacted.' - that just seems cold. It will be interesting to see what she does next.

Ya by itself it looks a cold but the full quote was -

We can confirm that Amy Hennig has left Naughty Dog. Amy has made significant contributions to the game industry and we appreciate all she has done for Naughty Dog. The development timeline of Uncharted will not be impacted.

That's a pity. Hopefully it doesn't effect U4. Really, the story/characters/wit is half the game.

I understand why they said it but it still seems unnecessary when they are talking about the departure of a relatively big name in the industry.

Anyway, I hope it isn't too long before we find out what she is working on next.

"The development timeline of Uncharted will not be impacted" just means the new game will go ahead, on time, surely.

pleasant Co.

Yup, there's absolutely nothing to read into here.

They might replace her with the creative director from The Last Of Us.

Yeah probably BS but the rumour is that Druckmann had "creative differences" with Hennig.

It's always asked even when it's a death, first you get condolences and then asking about the game because people a self-centred.

No one died here and even if they did then asking the status of a project the deceased was involved in is just human nature. It doesn't make anyone self cantered or any nonsense like that.
