The new-gen has been slowly building up over the last few months, largely with multi-gen games and indie offerings filling the gaps between big releases. It's surprising that some of these releases are still running on the Unreal Engine 3, but it won't be long until the next iteration of that engine takes to the forefront and starts showing off its new abilities.

Knack perhaps got more attention that almost all the other PlayStation 4 launch titles put together. It was directed by PS4 lead architect Mark Cerny and is Sony's big non-shooter push for the launch window. Although there have been many things said about Knack - that it's "kiddy," too simple - it definitely has its good points. It's just a shame you'll see most of them in the first ten minutes.

Kalypso has today announced that their huge strategy/management sim Tropico will be making the jump to PlayStation 4 in the near future. Tropico 5 has you control an island over hundreds of years, adapting your playing style as your people learn to want and need new things.

Sony today announced that Killzone: Shadow Fall has sold over two million units. Considering the amount of PS4s that have been shipped, that number is impressive to say the least, rivalling more or less anything on new-gen machines (and quite a bit from last gen as well). By comparison, the last Mario game sold roughly half as much on the Wii U, which has been out for well over a year.

Hot on the heels of Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper is going to be making it into cinemas in 2016. The infamous gang of thieves will be starring in their very own state-of-the-art gorgeous feature film, probably involving a caper or two. You'll almost certainly want to take your kids to see Sly Cooper, especially since you'll secretly (or not so secretly) going for yourself anyway.

The PlayStation Now service is still an awfully long way out for EU users, who probably won't gain access to Cloud streaming until well into 2015. That point has been hit home even more today with Sony announcing PlayStation Now beta invites are being sent out to those lucky enough to have been selected.

Square Enix have this morning announced a release date for the PlayStation 4 version of their massively multiplayer RPG Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Those that were expecting it shortly after launch are likely to be a little disappointed, but in the grand scheme of things it's not too much of a wait.

Tomb Raider was a great game, but it had very little in common with the massively open-world RPG The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It's not a problem most of us picked up on, but apparently it's something the developers hope to rectify for Tomb Raider 2.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition might seem slightly underwhelming, especially for those that completed it multiple times on PC. It wasn't always going to be that way though. Crystal Dynamics had originally considered adding extra plot to the new-gen edition, but was shot down by a Square Enix exec.

We know absolutely nothing about Uncharted 4, except that it probably won't come out in 2014. This was confirmed today by a Naughty Dog spokesperson on the PlayStation Blog, and is probably a huge blow to many a PlayStation 4 owner who was excited to rejoin Nathan Drake and co in a next-gen adventure.
