In a very brief announcement today (consisting of nothing more than a single line of script, a flash of the logo and a few people walking past with Creeper masks covering their heads), Sony confirmed during their Gamescon press announcement that Minecraft will get an official port for the Playstation 4.
Following the announcement, creator Markus “Notch” Persson took to Twitter to confirm the game will be heading to the PS4, but additionally confirmed PS3 and Vita ports as well:
Maps! Modes! Levolution! Premium! More ridiculous remixes of the Battlefield theme! It was an info barrage as DICE shot visual bullets into the face of Gamescom attendees, finishing off the EA conference more revelations about their FPS sequel. In fairness, many of those announcements could have been predicted by those well versed in recent history. Most notably that Battlefield 4 will, like Battlefield 3 before it, offer an optional Premium upgrade, given early access to the five planned DLC packs.
Here’s what DICE have in store for Premium members:

12 bonus Battlefield 4 Battlepacks
DICE also announced the game’s beta, which will launch in early October, just a few weeks before the game’s full release.
Then, finally, as our brains were near bursting from fact overload, we were treated to a visual tease of the Paracel Storm map:
The future is distorted bass being fired into your eardrums forever.
Battlefield 4 is released in October 29th in North America, and October 31st in Europe.
Need for Speed: Rivals was discussed during EA’s press conference with its new AllDrive mode and more.
According to the presenter, Alldrive “destroys the line between single-player and multiplayer,” granting points using a new system which will build up until you are busted by the cops. Speedlists, a new set of objectives you will need to complete in exchange for various unlocks, will also be included.
Check out the new video below.
As you can see in the trailer, multiplayer is a big thing, even for the cops… This could be epic fun
