Watch Dogs 2 reveals its bad guy – Watch Dogs 2 also got some time to shine at Sony’s TGS conference. The game got a brand new trailer that showed off the environments of San Francisco, as well as the main antagonist Douchean Nemek. What a name.

The PS Vita isn’t dead – Alright, so it might be a little bit dead. But that doesn’t mean that Vita owners can’t pamper themselves by buying the same handheld in two different colors. The PS Vita will be getting two colors in Japan: metallic red, and silver.

NieR: Automata gets a release date – NieR: Automata got a cryptic and very confusing trailer that had a lot of crying and screaming. Par for the course when it comes to a Yoko Taro game, I suppose. But more importantly, Automata now has a firm release date in February!

Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue gets delayed – Womp womp. Kingdom Hearts 2.8 received a very stylish new trailer at Sony’s conference, and we even got a glimpse of Ventus (!) in Fragmentary Passage. Unfortunately, it’s been pushed back to January 2017.

Granblue Fantasy – Project Re:Link to get PSVR support -Project Re:Link is looking really pretty in this new TGS trailer, and it’s been announced that it will have PSVR support as well. It’s just a little disappointing that we won’t see it till 2018.

We got more tiny Aloy – Horizon Zero Dawn was also featured in Sony’s TGS conference today, and we got to watch a very stunning new trailer that showed off the game’s world before the machines took over. Also, more tiny Aloy.

New Danganronpa V3 finally gets gameplay footage – Danganronpa 2 ended on a rather epic cliffhanger, so it’s nice to finally see New Danganronpa V3 in action, along with its new cast of characters. Also, there seem to be five Monokumas.
