Assassin's Creed IV will have exclusive content on PS4
Today's the big coming out party for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. While we already knew the PlayStation 3 version was going to have this, we can now also confirm that the PlayStation 4 version of Black Flag will include 60 minutes of additional gameplay as well. It'll be made available to either platform through the PlayStation Network sometime after launch on October 29. Assassin's Creed III also had exclusive story content during the initial release. If Ubisoft follows the same pattern, then whatever this exclusive content is will be released to other platforms once some kind of "Complete Edition" is revealed that will include the full game and all the downloadable content, like the Washington Edition Europe is getting. For more on Assassin's Creed IV, check out our first look preview, how the team knew naval combat would be successful, and how Far Cry 3 influenced the new design. Did you know?

12:00 PM on 05.18.2013 Preview: The Last of UsI was skeptical of The Last of Us. Despite all the hype and high promises, to me, it looked like post-apocalyptic Uncharted. I wasn't sold on the dynamic nature of how the game progressed, and as we all know, zombies have been literally done to death in the past five years. Then, I got a chance to actually play it. How many days until June 14th again?
