Sony E3 2014 Media Briefing

Sony at E3 Continued

Far Cry 4

The demonstration featured the player swooping to the outskirts of a fortress from a motorized hanglider. In the midst of the fight, the player made a call to a friend, and an actual player joined in on his campaign, making the event that much easier to handle. After the video, Adam stated that the friend that joined into the game was able to do so without actually having a second copy of the game. So, that means that a player who will own Far Cry 4 will be able to have a friend join his or her game without the friend actually owning the copy.

Far Cry 4 will be out November 18th on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC.

The Order 1886

1886 is a time of strife in our alternate version of Victorian Era London. Life for the commoners may seem monotonous with people, both rich and poor, going about their daily business. All the while, a threat to their very existence continues to lurk in the dark, a threat that the Knights of the Order have kept at bay for centuries. In the days of King Arthur, mankind is on the losing side of a war for dominion and supremacy against the Half-Breeds. The King assembles a group of noble men to stand in defense of their brethren and thus, the Knights of the Round Table are born. The Knights, now known only as The Order, endure through the centuries bringing the war to a status quo. With the Industrial Revolution, technology gives them the upper hand and a time of uncomfortable peace settles in the Kingdom and the Commonwealth, our version of Pax Britannia. But this peace brings on a new opponent. The very people The Order had sworn to protect take up arms, as the Rebellion is formed in the streets of London. This new battle ravages the street of 1886 London, as both rebels and Knights fight each other to the death.

The Order: 1886 seems to have everything a player could ever want, and even though its release was recently moved until after the New Year, the anticipation for this new game is still at a fever pitch.

Little Big Planet 3

Sony has revealed Little Big Planet 3 for PlayStation 4, promising more platform jumping shenanigans and massive scope for building your very own levels and bespoke content. Sackboy, Sackgirl and friends will be packing a host of new abilities, while the same brand of co-op gameplay will also make a comeback with four player co-op.

Each character will have different abilities. For example, Oddsock is faster than Sackboy and can wall jump, Toggle is the biggest and strongest character, and Swoop can fly and can carry characters. Little Big Planet 3 appears to focus more heavily on cooperative puzzle solving with the inclusion of these three characters.

Over 8.7 million Little Big Planet 1 and 2 levels have been created to date, and in LBP 3 you’ll be able to play all of those existing levels, with improved PS4 visuals. With Sumo Digital taking over dev duties from Media Molecule, LittleBigPlanet 3 will be coming to PS4 in November 2014.
