Where the last trailer for October's Venom left us wanting more, this one has us wondering "What if Venom, but too much?" While this incarnation of Venom looks considerably less campy than Topher Grace's Spider-Man 3 villain, the trailer has been met with a fair amount of criticism - and many, many memes. Some of them pretty raunchy. Let's see if Tom Hardy can fix this anti-hero's reputation.

First there was that time we all thought there was a Crash silhouette in the original PS4 announcement, then there was that time Shawn Layden wore a Crash shirt during his PlayStation Experience presentation and then didn't say anything about a game. Now PlayStation Middle East is tweeting a wanted poster for Crash.
It's been years, Sony. Just tell us if you've worked something out with Activision.
The results are in! This chart shows who the gaming public think are the absolute worst fans in gaming.

During an interview with Game News, Uncharted voice actor Nolan North said he didn't think fans want a movie based around the Indiana Jones-esque series.
North voices and does the motion capture work for the series' protagonist Nathan Drake.
Even if he's wrong, Sony's motion picture division might not be able to get the thing off the ground.
Sony announced a film adaptation of the property back in 2009 and have had a ton of trouble putting it together.
They still don't have a director for it, having courted David O. Russell, Neil Burger, Seth Gordon and more for the project.
And this past August, Sony pushed the release date back to 2017.
So, if you're right Mr. North (and you probably aren't), you won't be disappointed if the film never happens.

Your excuses are dwindling, you console hold outs.
Sony announced a permanent price cut for the Playstation 4 Oct. 8, lowering it to $349.99. That puts it on the same footing as Microsoft's Xbox One.
Since Sony's console has led this generation so far, it'll be interesting to see whether that lead will increase with the price drop or whether they cut it because of slipping ground.
Kotaku reported on it this morning:
Starting October 9, the PlayStation 4 will be a little cheaper in the U.S. and Canada. Oh goodie.
The PS4, which is currently $399.99 USD, will be marked down to $349.99 in the U.S., while in Canada, the console, which now costs $449.99 CAD, will be marked down to $429.99.
This appears to be for the 500GB HDD PlayStation 4 and follows hot on the heels of a price cut Japan got earlier this month.

It seems like it's been a while since the great Bloodborne's February release and we're certainly looking for a reason to return to Yarnham.

You'll find multiple new outfits and weapons to add to your arsenal as well as additional magic to wield and add more variety to your combat strategy.

News of the Street Fighter V roster has been a slow drip that will probably continue until the game releases in spring 2016, but the latest will surely make that wait even longer for some fans of the fighting series.
The Official Playstation Blog, too excited to contain themselves, announced that Vega will return with his mask and three-pronged claw for the next Street Fighter iteration.
A mainstay in the franchise since his introduction in Street Fighter II, Vega believes that beauty is the truest form of strength and that he alone is the epitome of perfection. The mask he wears serves to protect his face from the blood of his victims, and his deadly three-pronged claw ensures he is able to dish out pain from a safe distance away. Learning ninjutsu at a young age from a Japanese acquaintance, Vega quickly shot up the ranks in Shadaloo, eventually becoming one of the four bosses of the criminal organization.
...[H]e now has the ability to sheathe his claw during battle in exchange for new moves, such as a command grab, as well as new attack properties, greatly changing the way he approaches each fight. Knowing when to toggle between the two styles will be the key to success, and it also allows for new combo possibilities. Conversely, Vega will no longer be able to pick up his claw once it's knocked off, so knowing how to fight without the claw is a must!
Capcom has only announced 10 of the 16 total launch characters so far with Vega joining Ken, Ryu, Chun-LI, Nash, M. Bison, Cammy, Birdie and Necalli. Four characters will be completely new to the series.
The announcement might have been a way to take attention from the disappointing beta over the July 25 weekend that kept the vast majority of players from testing the game.
For all of you Xbox One owners out there, Sony has bought exclusivity rights. So the only way you're going to play it is by buying a Playstation 4. Does Vega make it worth it for you?
Were you getting bored of all these movies based on 1980s board games and thinking 'I wish they'd make a film out of something less cinematic"? Well someone has heard your dumb prayer.
Deadline is reporting that an emoji movie is already moving forward and has a writer and director.
In a deal near seven figures, Sony Pictures Animation won a three-studio auction for an animated movie pitch centering on the Emoji, those lovable round headed figures that are as much a staple of social media correspondence as adverbs and adjectives. The project will be co-written by Eric Siegel and Anthony Leondis, with the latter directing the feature.
This move came as a result of a three studio (yes, three studio) bidding war.
Apparently, Leondis shopped the project around because he had finally cracked the code on what would make the most compelling movie out of slightly more fully-formed emoticons.
They just have to be reactions to things right? Or will it animate those faces or that guy with his head down:
Wired had a pretty good explanation for why you don't make an emoji movie:
It's a been a long day full of hype and joy, and Sony's E3 conference was a fitting end to such an action-packed marathon. The conference was equal parts nostalgia and familiar titles, with plenty to satisfy new converts to PlayStation and those who have dutifully had a PlayStation console in their homes since the '90s.
