Commander Fury

The Order’s first gameplay footage takes us to the London district of Whitechapel, a hive of scum and villainy that nonetheless looks sumptuous thanks to the game’s rich, saturated environment lighting. Galahad, Lafayette and the rest of The Order also look stunning, with agonizingly detailed costumes and eerily lifelike facial details that rival the pre-rendered CG cutscenes seen in many other games.

Hello, Ramone Russell here. I'm the Game Designer and Community Specialist on MLB The Show. One of the most common pieces of feedback we get each year from our fans is that they’d like to play complete games faster. That’s why we’re excited to bring two new options into MLB 14 that allow for you to experience The Show without having to make as big of a time commitment as in the past: Quick Counts and Player Lock.

To celebrate this launch, we've created a limited edition of Vessel Turbines, a desk toy that gives you your very own "Fluro" in a bottle. Each bottle contains a large blob of Ferrofluid, a magnetic liquid that comes to life when you apply a magnet -- just like the creatures of Vessel. You can <a href="http://www.strangeloopgames.com/turbine/" target="_new">buy it on our website</a> and get a key for Vessel on PS3. More...

Our final PlayStation game announcement of the month is something I've wanted to talk about for a really long time. I'm now very happy to be able to tell you about our plans to bring the critically acclaimed puzzle-platformer, The Swapper, to PS3, PS4 and PS Vita this year. The Swapper was released in 2013 on PC, and has had some amazing press coverage. It won numerous awards in the indie gaming scene for its story, graphics and puzzle design. We're very lucky to be working with original developer Olli Harjola to bring the game to PlayStation formats, and the game is already looking beautiful on our PlayStation systems here at Curve towers, so we think you're in for a real treat.

Many of you are probably looking forward to the final film in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hobbit_(film_series)" target="_blank">The Hobbit</a> Trilogy, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2310332/" target="_blank">The Hobbit: There and Back Again</a>, hitting theaters in December – I know I am. That’s why at PlayStation, we’re excited to announce that a new LEGO The Hobbit <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps3/" target="_blank">PlayStation 3</a> bundle is heading to Middle-earth – er, sorry – heading to North America.

Right everyone, this is it. <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/basement-crawl/" target="_blank">Basement Crawl</a> is landing on <a href="https://us.playstation.com/ps4/?CMP=soc_us__gm_PS4_PSBlog_2_25_14" target="_blank">PS4</a> March 25th, which means that you can grab the game on PlayStation Store after it updates this afternoon.

As we’ve mentioned in <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/12/10/the-unique-puzzles-of-road-not-taken-on-ps4/">previous blog posts</a>, Road Not Taken has procedurally-generated levels. That is, you get a completely new experience every time you venture into the forest. When designing a game like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioShock" target="_blank">Bioshock</a> or <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/god-of-war/" target="_blank">God of War</a>, a designer must hand-select the placement of every corridor, every object, and every enemy in the game. With Road Not Taken, we’re not hand-selecting anything. We spend our time creating interesting objects and enemies, and then carefully defining the probabilities of when and where you will encounter them. More...

<a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/wolfenstein-the-new-order/" target="_blank">Wolfenstein: The New Order</a> pits players against seemingly insurmountable odds in a skewed 1960's where the Nazis conquered the world. An FPS that's old-school in all the best ways, it eschews modern niceties -- no recharging shields here -- in favor of merciless, finely honed shooting. More...

2014 is starting to fly by -- it's already February! -- so we are taking this week to get a bit nostalgic and take a look back at 2013 and highlight some games you might have missed with the Back to 2013 Sale. Starting tomorrow through March 3rd, we’re discounting some great games from the past year, with even deeper discounts for PS Plus members.

So much has happened since its launch in North America two years ago - many amazing games were released, Remote Play functionality with PS4 was added, and we announced PlayStation Now is coming to PS Vita.

Garrett slides an arrow against the string of his bow, candlelight nipping at his foot -- just out of reach. The guard paces the hallways in silence, unaware of the glinting metal trained at his temple. One whistle later and the guard's body is splayed on the ground, and Garrett steps over it without a word. Just another moment in the shadowy campaign of Thief, which launches on PS3 and PS4 this week. More...
