Sony introduces… ‘The PlayRoom’. A new video has emerged from E3 2013 showing off some of the capabilities of the PS4’s Dualshock 4 controller and PlayStation 4 Camera when used in conjunction.

The demonstration trailer can be viewed embedded at the bottom of this article. In it, a couple are seen interacting with the space around them via the use of motion and touch control, as well as camera and smartphone integration. This particular example of augmented reality on the console is quite “kiddish”, but it is officially the first look we have received at some of these functionalities (like the touchpad and light on the top of the gamepad) in-action.

Rockstar Games have unleashed 9 new screens for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto V, during E3 2013. You can check them out in the gallery below.

They show each of the three main player protagonists, Michael, Franklin and Trevor, partaking in mostly dubious activities bar a few leisurely shots. The one that interests us the most is the underwater scuba screenshot; we haven’t seen too much ‘under the sea’ as of yet.

Also of note; we will receive Australia/New Zealand specific details on the exclusive PlayStation 3 bundle with Grand Theft Auto V and a custom Grand Theft Auto V-branded Pulse Elite Headset, both available at launch, soon.

Ubisoft have uploaded their Watch_Dogs E3 2013 demo walkthrough online, and it can be viewed embedded at the bottom of this article.

The 7 minute-plus video was shown during the Ubisoft Press Conference and introduces many new facets of the game. These include: stealth amongst car patrols, a look at a more finalised U.I/HUD, working with a partner character (in this case, one named T-Bone) and the use of the companion app and how it enables you to effectively hold the city of Chicago in the palm of your hand. It seems you will be able to “Request Help” in-game, initiating a search for a mobile player who can then aid you in your escape or mission.

As portrayed in the ‘Exposed’ trailer, Aiden Pearce is a very powerful man.
