Since taking over as stewards of the Spider-Man console gaming franchise, we've seized the opportunity to explore new territory with each game release. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps3/" target="_new">PS3</a> and <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps4/" target="_new">PS4</a> created a great opportunity to build and improve on something rather than starting from a blank slate. The gameplay walkthrough we've prepared for you today shows off some of the ways we've gone about doing that, but I'd also like to briefly flesh out some of those details with a little more context.

Integrating the Batmobile married up with our design philosophy at <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/rocksteady-studios/" target="_blank">Rocksteady</a>: to focus on features that improve the very core of the game, and hence continually refresh the experience. Anyway, enough waffle. I thought I’d share three of my favorite features of the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/batman-arkham-knight/" target="_blank">Batman: Arkham Knight</a> Batmobile, and how we are hoping this helps to deliver a unique experience.

Alone, unprepared, and unarmed, Amanda Ripley is forced to match wits with death itself in Alien: Isolation. The Creative Assembly’s deeply immersive and fanatically detailed survival-horror game returns to the roots of the Alien film franchise -- no pulse rifles or space marines here, just you, your wits, and the galaxy’s most feared predator. More...

In the past few weeks, we've seen a ton of new PS4 game announcements on the Blog -- so many that we challenged ourselves to build a list of all known PS4 games scheduled to release in North America in 2014. You'll find our initial findings below. Of course, the usual caveats apply here: schedules can shift and plans can change. But we’re going to keep this handy-dandy list updated all year long with the necessary adjustments. Let us bask in its warming glow. More...

Champions! This month, we are celebrating the one-year anniversary of <a href="http://us.playstation.com/games/god-of-war-ascension-ps3.html?CMP=soc_us__gm_GOWAscension_AnniversaryGifts_3_25_14" target="_blank">God of War: Ascension</a> in such epic fashion that even the gods of Olympus are impressed. At Santa Monica Studio, the players come first in every decision we make. We have supported God of War: Ascension Multiplayer since its release on March 12, 2013, as a result of the unrelenting passion and everlasting “fire†you have poured into the battlefield since Day 1.

Hey guys! This is Frank "Bo" deWindt II, director of production here at Aksys Games. Today we're celebrating the release of the long-awaited BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma on <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps3/" target="_new">PS3</a>.

In The Witch and the Hundred Knight, you play as the legendary Hundred Knight -- a demon summoned by the swamp witch Metallia to help her spread all her neon green, swampy badness across the land. More...

It's safe to say that no other game in the world contains as many ways to kill and hurt enemies as <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/deception-iv-blood-ties/" target="_new">Deception IV: Blood Ties</a>, which is out today on <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps3/" target="_new">PS3</a> and <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps-vita/" target="_new">PS Vita</a>. More than 100 different traps allow you to slice, hit, launch, trip, and otherwise torment your victim in a variety of imaginative ways. Dropping a flower vase onto the head of a powerful hero as a giant high heel descends from the ceiling to crush him is not the kind of experience you can have in most other games. More...

Following a fantastic reception to the PS3 and PS Vita release of <a href="http://us.playstation.com/games/hatsune-miku-project-diva-f-ps3.html?CMP=soc_us__gm_ProjectDivaF2nd_ComingToNA_3_25_14" target="_blank">Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F</a> in North America and Europe, SEGA is proud to announce that we will be bringing Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F 2nd to the West later this year!

Trials is known for its high-flying, face-smashing, precision platforming races, but get ready to take it up a notch (maybe several notches) with the all new FMX Tricks System. More than simple flips and twists, FMX will have you pulling moves like the Dead-Body, Going Up, and everyone’s favorite: The Superman. More...

Well, it's been quite a rollercoaster for us at <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/roll7/" target="_blank">Roll7</a> over the last few months! Our submission process last year was pretty hardcore, with many a pizza-stained late night at our Deptford HQ, London. The team was pretty much broken by the time <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/olliolli/" target="_blank">OlliOlli</a> came out. We had broken down everything that was ‘wrong’ about the game to such an extent that we had managed to successfully convince ourselves that the game would most likely be a flop, a mediocre launch at best… More...

Today's <a href="http://us.playstation.com/ps4/games/final-fantasy-xiv-a-realm-reborn-ps4.html?CMP=soc_us__gm_FinalFantasyXIV_SubscriptionPost_3_24_14" target="_new">Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn</a> post is especially interesting for those of you that have never played a subscription MMO before, as well as those of you who wonder if a monthly subscription is really for you. When you buy a single-player game, the expectation is usually the same. Buy the game for the full price, and some DLC will follow. Final Fantasy XIV is fundamentally different, as it’s an MMO that will run for years. More...

Embark on a colorful and unique adventure wrought with rotating pixels. More...

That's not all we got this week, either. Long-awaited superhuman adventure inFAMOUS Second Son is out now on PS4 (make sure you check out the <a href="http://infamouspapertrail.com/" target="_blank">Paper Trail missions</a>... super cool), and gamers are all over it.
