  • Debunking all rumors, Bethesda has confirmed that Fallout 4 was NOT shown behind closed doors at E3 by saying, “We showed three games at E3 – Wolfenstein: The New Order, The Elder Scrolls Online and The Evil Within. We did not show any of our games behind closed doors.” Notice how they didn’t say it wasn’t in development? [Source]
  • News regarding Hotline Miami’s PlayStation release date should pop up in the next week or so. [Source]
  • The PlayStation Plus PS Vita evergreen titles – Uncharted: Golden Abyss and Gravity Rush – “will be swapped out a little later in the year” and we should expect an update in the coming months. [Source]
  • Ashraf Islamil, Game Director on Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, said, “Naval multiplayer, unfortunately, we don’t have it. It’s something we tried at the beginning, but we didn’t feel we can get it to a good enough level for this iteration.” So, you won’t be battling your friends online ship-to-ship this year, but maybe in Assassin’s Creed 2014? Or Assassin’s Creed 2015? Or Assassin’s Creed 2016? [Source]
