Ubisoft has announced Rainbow Six: Siege is in development at Ubisoft Montreal, coming in 2015.
The footage shown during the press conference demonstrated an early multiplayer match with one team attempting to rescue a hostage from the opposing forces. Environmental destruction plays a key role in how matches unfold, and it's possible to blast through walls and doors get to your objectives.
Crystal Dynamics has announced Rise of the Tomb Raider, coming Holiday 2015. A trailer shown during Microsoft's E3 Press Conference featured a visibly distressed Lara undergoing therapy after the events of 2012's Tomb Raider. Croft is also seen sneaking through enormous caves, once again killing enemies quietly with here bow.
Trailer:
"In the next chapter of her journey, Lara must use her survival skills and wits, learn to trust new friends, and ultimately accept her destiny as the Tomb Raider," Microsoft said. "Featuring epic, high-octane action moments, Rise of the Tomb Raider will take gamers to multiple locations around the world filled with exploration spaces that are some of the most beautifully hostile places on earth. In addition, after hearing the cry from fans loud and clear, the game will put the tombs back into “Tomb Raider" all in the franchise’s gritty Survival-Action style."
During the Ubisoft media briefing being held at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles the publisher published a new trailer of Tom Clancy’s The Division.The trailer is actually quite relevant, as it shows how it all happened, and how the pandemic spread in New York City.
Ubisoft showed Assassin's Creed: Unity co-op gameplay earlier today at Microsoft's E3 2014 press conference, but outdid that demo at its own conference with both a hyper-dramatic cinematic trailer and a long single-player gameplay demonstration in Unity's "systemic open world."
The single-player demo shows much bigger crowds than we've seen in previous Assassin's Creeds, as well as much more detailed interiors which can be entered seamlessly for the first time. There's also a new parkour system that makes it easier to descend from tall buildings, and some "choose or ignore" events. Pleasingly, Unity introduces a dedicated stealth mode, which hopefully means no more vaulting when you meant to crouch and hide.
Based on this look, though, co-op is still Unity's most notable change: how the new hero, Arno, "carves his own path" through Paris significantly differently than Kenway explored the Caribbean in Assassin's Creed IV is unclear so far (except that we might not see ships this time). It is exceptionally pretty in the state it's being demoed, of course.
Watch the cinematic trailer above, and the gameplay demonstration below.
At Sony's E3 press conference, Ubisoft has revealed a full two player cooperative mode across Far Cry 4's open world.
A new trailer has revealed significant new gameplay mechanics for Far Cry 4. The most significant of which is a two-player cooperative mode which plays out across the open world of Kyrat. The second player joins the game as Hurk, a side character. The trailer shows Hurk picking up the first player in his gyrocopter and ferrying them to an enemy outpost. In surprising news, players who own Far Cry 4 on PS3 or PS4 can invite their friends to play, even if that friend does not own the game.
Additional new mechanics included the ability to kick explosive barrels into enemies, as well as a new kind of takedown that saw the player leap from their car into a truck, kill both passenger and driver, and take control of the vehicle. Another addition includes the ability to fire one-handed weapons out of a vehicle whilst driving it. The wingsuit also made a return, and new animals such as elephants were seen stampeding through an outpost.
You don't even have to give up your multiplayer progress.
Rockstar's 2013 hit, Grand Theft Auto 5, is coming to PS4 this fall. It is also coming to Xbox One and PC, either at the same time or likely shortly thereafter.
If you've already spent tons of time in GTA Online, don't worry. Your multiplayer progress will carry over to the PS4 version whether you played on Xbox 360 or PS3.
In a recent poll, IGN's community rated Grand Theft Auto 5 as its third most popular game of the last generation,
Last year, Microsoft began slowly taking applications for the development version of it second generation Kinect for Windows sensor. Starting today, the company has opened pre-orders for the device in limited quantity. Granted, the general public may still want to wait on a consumer launch.
The Kinect for Windows v2 is priced at $199 USD (199 EUR/AUD) and will start shipping in July. Compared to its predecessor, the new sensor includes a the ability to pick up an expanded depth of field, increased skeletal tracking, and 1080p video capture--essentially what's currently available in the Xbox One version.
Back in April, Microsoft announced plans for increased compatibility between Kinect-ready software on PC and Xbox One. But while the company has invested heavily in the future of Kinect, the Xbox One will begin selling without the sensor later this year.
Kinect for Windows v2 will launch for the public this fall.
More details expected tomorrow during EA's press conference.

What might it mean?
A massive poster for Assassin's Creed Unity covering one outside wall of the Los Angeles Convention Center--the site of next week's E3--shows what appears to be four different assassins. We also see the tall tower from the game's teaser trailer.
What could it mean? A past report suggested Assassin's Creed Unity would feature four-player co-op. In addition, a source previously told The Escapist that Assassin's Creed Unity would have a co-op mode and that it would be revealed at E3.

In addition to Assassin's Creed Unity, Ubisoft is rumored to be working on another Assassin's Creed game,subtitled Comet, for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. This game will reportedly let you play as a Templar.
