Sony has at least 15 PS4 exclusives planned for 2015
Yesterday, Sony wished gamers everywhere a Happy New Year by uploading a new video to their YouTube Channel promoting 15 PlayStation 4 exclusives that will be released this year. This “15 For ’15” includes some of the biggest AAA projects (Bloodborne, The Order: 1886, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End) as well as a few independent efforts (Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, The Tomorrow Children, Rime). Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky also makes an appearance and, if I’m not mistake, I think this is the first time we’ve been told that it’ll be out in 2015.
Here’s the complete list of titles featured in Sony’s “15 For ’15”:
- Alienation
- Bloodborne (March 24, 2015)
- Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture
- Fat Princess Adventures
- Hollowpoint
- No Man’s Sky
- The Order: 1886 (February 20, 2015)
- Rime
- Tearaway Unfolded
- The Tomorrow Children
- Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End
- Until Dawn
- The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
- Volume
- The Witness
If you look closely, you’ll notice that this is definitely not a complete list of the games Sony plans to release for the PS4 in 2015. Just off the top of my head, it’s missing the Ratchet & Clank remake/reboot, The Talos Principle, N++, There Came An Echo, and several others. And who knows what this year’s E3 Expo will bring.
Bottom line, it’s going to be a busy year for PlayStation players.

Evolve, No Man’s Sky dominate Best of E3 2014 Game Critics Awards
Two of the most buzzed-about games going into the 2014 E3 Expo were Turtle Rock’s Evolve and Hello Games’s No Man’s Sky. Not surprisingly, both games cleaned up in this year’s Best of E3 2014 Game Critics Awards.
Evolve tallied four wins including “Best of Show,” “Best Console Game,” “Best Action Game,” and “Best Online Multiplayer.” No Man’s Sky traded on its unique reputation while on its way to winning “Best Original Game” and “Best Independent Game” as well as a “Special Commendation For Innovation.”
No other game was honored in multiple categories though Super Smash Bros. For 3DS was selected as “Best Handheld/Mobile Game” and Super Smash Bros. For Wii U took home “Best Fighting Game.”
A complete list of this year’s winners can be found after the break. (more…)
Game Critics Awards has announced their Best of E3 2014 nominees
The Best of E3 2014 nominees are in, and Evolve is currently leading the pack with six nominations (Best of Show, Best Original Game, Best Console Game, Best PC Game, Best Action Game, and Best Online Multiplayer). The rest of the Best in Show games all have multiple nominations as well – Alien: Isolation, Batman: Arkham Knight, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, No Man’s Sky, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege. After all the attention it’s gotten, I’m surprised Sunset Overdrive isn’t on that list, but it’s on a few others.
Check out the full list of nominees after the jump.

No Man’s Sky continues to amaze in E3 2014 trailer
Sony showed off this gorgeous trailer for No Man’s Sky at its E3 press conference on Monday. The procedurally-generated open-world – or rather, open-universe – game promises to give every player a wholly unique experience. It’s ridiculously beautiful and so huge in scope that I’m sure gamers everywhere can’t wait to get their hands on it.
No Man’s Sky will be released on the PlayStation 4. There is no release date for it yet. For more details, check out the message from developer Hello Games at the PlayStation Blog.

Sony @ E3 14: No Man’s Sky announced
Yet another exclusive game announced, No Man’s Sky will hit the PS4 in the near future.
Developed by Hello Games, every player will spawn on their own planet – no two people will have their own planet. The game is heavy on exploration and space battles, and appears to have a very deep multiplayer experience.

No Man’s Sky will not be delayed… despite British weather’s best attempt
The winter weather throughout the world coming into 2014 has been, in a word, appalling. America was frozen solid, while across the pond, Great Britain was the target of raging storms and a torrent of rain.
One area badly hit was the English town of Guildford, famous for rock band The Stranglers, writer Lewis Carroll, and the show-stealing developers at Hello Games. The game studio, made immediately famous after the 2013 VGX Awards thanks to the glorious trailer for their upcoming game, No Man’s Sky, was flooded on Christmas Eve.
Despite the loss of equipment and development kits, the team has reassembled in a cramped (and undisclosed) location. Powered by the goodwill of fans and lots of cups of tea (because this is England), they have managed to power through the anti-miracle that is the British weather and get No Man’s Sky back on track.
In short, there will be no delay to the game. As Sean Murray, Managing Director at the company, so aptly put it on the Hello Games blog:
At times recently I’ve wanted to be depressed, to wallow, but it’s impossible surrounded by this team. They are literally unstoppable. If we’ve lost some work, we’ll make up the time. We’ll steal dev-kits. We’ll work on a boat. Whatever it takes (not actual stealing… maybe)
Murray also revealed that although the team has considered a Kickstarter campaign, especially in light of their recent loss, it was decided that No Man’s Sky was not the right fit for the crowdfunding site.
If you’re hungry for more No Man’s Sky info, Murray also recently sat down with Edge to discuss the development difficulties in creating No Man’s Sky’s procedurally-generated worlds.

The offices of No Man’s Sky developer Hello Games were flooded on Christmas Eve
Hello Games, the developer behind the Joe Danger series and the upcoming No Man’s Sky did not have a very happy holiday. Their office is currently underwater due to massive flooding that took place throughout Guildford in Surrey, England on Christmas Eve.
Oh god. Water moves really quick. Hello Games has been totally flooded. Everything in the office has pretty much been lost :(

A river broke its bank nearby yesterday, and A LOT of water flooded in really quickly. A biblical amount. It was coming in the windows!
— Hello Games (@hellogames) December 25, 2013
We've lost most things – PCs, monitors, furniture, a door, a wall. You'd think the massive water cooled mega PC would be ok? It was not :(
— Hello Games (@hellogames) December 25, 2013
We're taking stock today, but already I know we'll come back stronger :) – all we'll need is a place to work and a machine to work on :)
— Hello Games (@hellogames) December 25, 2013
Thankfully, no one from Hello Games was injured during the flooding. And what this means for the future of No Man’s Sky is currently up in the air, but the team seems to be in good spirits.

VGX 2013 Trailer: No Man’s Sky
The biggest surprise… scratch that, the ONLY surprise… of this year’s VGX Awards was the “World Premiere” trailer for Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky. Created by a four-person team within the Joe Danger devleoper, No Man’s Sky is a procedurally generated exploration that wants to give us the land… and the ocean… and the sky… and outer space… and the whole universe beyond. There’s first-person shooting and space battles and sand worms and it looks crazy ambitious and no one has any idea what platforms its in development for or when it’ll be released.
Hello Games, you have my attention.
