The Infamous Second Son On Ps4
InFamous: Second Son is the third main installment in the inFamous series
exclusively for the PlayStation 4. It features a new setting, a new
protagonist, and a totalitarian government controlled by propaganda
along with the series' new antagonist, the D.U.P. (Department of Unified
Protection) It is set seven years after the end of Cole MacGrath's story and stars a new protagonist, Delsin Rowe. Set seven years after the episodes of Cole MacGrath activated the Ray Field Inhibitor (RFI) to destroy a Conduit (superhumans named for their ability to "channel" powers) named John White, also known as the Beast and cure the Plague. Fearing the Conduits' abilities, the Department of Unified Protection (D.U.P.), an organization formed by the US eastern seaboard and the worldwide economy, that handles any sort of bio-terrorism to ensure that the events of Empire City and New Marais don't repeat themselves. It was also revealed that the D.U.P. renamed Conduits into Bioterrorists and
have been rounding them up. Using propagandized messages via news and
public service, the D.U.P. forced many Conduits out of hiding by turning
the general public against them, and sent them to Curdun Cay, a prison designed to contain and experiment on Conduits. It was revealed that the developers assumed the good ending of InFAMOUS 2 as canon and that, rather than the RFI destroying
all Conduits, some survived the explosion. While it was originally
thought to have killed all Conduits across the globe, some Conduits
proved resistant to the device due to the long distance from New Marais. Rather than the fictional cities of the previous two games, InFamous: Second Son takes place in Seattle, although locations and features have been changed to allow for better gameplay flow.

New Mortal Kombat X NOT YET OUT BUT COMING SOON ON PS3 AND PS4
Gameplay
Like previous entries in the series, Mortal Kombat X
is a fighting game in which two players fight against each other using a
variety of attacks, special moves, and gruesome Fatalities. The energy
meter, first introduced in the previous Mortal Kombat game,
once again allows players to perform techniques such as "X-Ray" special
moves. There are also plans for fully connected online functionality.Similar to NetherRealm Studios' previous title, Injustice: Gods Among Us, fighters are to interact with the environment, bouncing off areas to reposition themselves or using parts of the environment as weapons. Each fighter is to have three different variations, each featuring a different set of moves they can use during the match. For example, the character Scorpion is to feature a "Ninjutsu" variation in which he wields dual swords, a "Hellfire" variation which relies more on fiery special moves, and an "Inferno" variation which allows him to summon hellspawn minions to aid him in the fight
PLOT
Along with incumbents Scorpion and Sub-Zero, four new fighters were announced when the game was revealed: D'Vorah, an insect-like woman who controls insects; Ferra/Torr, a pairing consisting of an armored dwarf-woman and a giant masked brute; Cassie Cage, the daughter of Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade; and Kotal Kahn, an Aztec-inspired "blood god" described by series creator Ed Boon as the new emperor of Outworld. According to Boon, the game's main antagonist has yet to be revealed but is said to be a "surprising returning character".
The return of Raiden was confirmed at EVO 2014. Before it was officially announced, GamePro Germany revealed that Kano would be another returning character from the series. Goro was confirmed as a pre-order exclusive character, and Quan Chi was officially revealed during the annual PlayStation IgroMir event.Kung Lao has been leaked due to Finnish video game magazine Pelaaja revealing him on the magazine's preview article of the game. Kitana was confirmed in an official trailer released on January 13, 2015.Two weeks later, on January 27, 2015,Retile was confirmed in another trailer.
Tomb Raider 2013 OLD BUT STILL NICE ON PS3 AND PS4
Tomb Raider is a 2013 Action-Adventure video game published by Square Enix. Tomb Raider is the
fourth title developed by Crystal Dynamics in the Tomb Raider franchise.Gameplay
Tomb Raider is presented in third-person perspective. Players take control of the series lead character Lara Croft. The game uses an interconnected hub-and-spoke model that combines action-adventure, exploration, and survival mechanics. Players can traverse between the camps and across the island using footpaths, improvised or already-available ziplines and climbable tracks. Many of the players moves are carried over from the previous games created by Crystal Dynamics, with some tweaks added, such as incorporating elements of stealth gameplay. Quick Time Events are scattered at regular intervals throughout the game, often appearing at crucial or fast-moving points in the game's plot, such as extracting a shard of metal, and escaping a collapsing cave.The player character, standing atop a high ledge, creating a makeshift zipline to a lower ledge by shooting an arrow.
Players can create makeshift ziplines to traverse between camps and across islands.
The combat of the game borrows multiple elements from Naughty Dog's Uncharted series, with players having the ability to free-aim Lara's bow and the guns she salvages, engage in close-quarter combat and perform stealth kills. Players can also use Survival Instinct, an ability in which enemies, collectables and objects pivotal to environmental puzzles will be highlighted for players. The game also incorporates RPG elements: as players progress through the game, they earn experience points from performing certain actions and completing in-game challenges linked with hunting, exploring and combat: this enables players' skills and abilities to be upgraded in specific ways, such as giving her more storage capacity for arrows and ammunition. Players can also upgrade and customize weapons using salvage collected across the island. There is also a character progression mechanic in the game: better items, weapons and equipment are gained as players progress, though the appearance of most of these items is closely linked to events in the story. In addition to the main story, players can complete multiple side quests, explore the island, revisit locations, and search for challenge tombs.
Multiplayer
Alongside the single-player mode is an online multiplayer mode, which allows players to compete in several maps. In each multiplayer match, there are two enemy teams: four survivors and four scavengers, and there are three types of games for multiplayer to compete in, played in five different maps: the modes are Team Deathmatch, Private Rescue and Cry for Help. The first mode is a simple PvP combat scenario, with teams pitted against each other, and the winning team being the one to kill of the opposing team in three separate matches. In the second mode, the "survivors" team must take medical supplies to a specific point on the map, while the "scavengers" must reach a certain number of kills, both within a ten-minute time limit.[14][16] The third mode, Cry for Help, involves the "survivors" exploring the maps and retrieving batteries for defended radio beacons while being hunted by the "scavengers".[11] Across all three modes, weapons and destroyable environments from the single-player campaign are carried over.
Synopsis
Setting and characters
The game is set on Yamatai, an island in the Dragon's Triangle off the coast of Japan. The island—and the kingdom that once existed there—is shrouded in mystery, given its reputation for fearsome storms and shipwrecks that litter its coastline. Yamatai was once ruled by a queen named Himiko, known by her honorific title of "Sun Queen", who according to legend was blessed with shamanistic powers that enabled her to control the weather. Very little is known about Yamatai's history in the time since Himiko's death, other than that the island's infamy was established shortly thereafter. In exploring the island, the player may find evidence that—among others—Portuguese traders, United States Marines and a Japanese military project were all stranded on Yamatai at various points throughout history. At the start of the game, the island is populated exclusively by the Solarii Brotherhood, a violent cult of criminals, mercenaries and shipwreck survivors. The Solarii Brotherhood has established its own society based on the worship of Himiko, complete with a social structure and laws, with their exact purpose and intentions being explored over the course of the story.
The player takes on the role of Lara Croft, a young and ambitious archaeology graduate whose theories on the location of the lost kingdom of Yamatai have convinced the Nishimura family—descendants from the people of Yamatai themselves—to fund an expedition in search of the kingdom. The expedition is led by Dr. James Whitman, a celebrity archaeologist who has fallen on hard times and is desperate to avoid bankruptcy, and is accompanied by Conrad Roth, a Royal Marine turned adventurer and close friend of the Croft family who serves as mentor to Lara; Samantha "Sam" Nishimura, Lara's friend and a representative of the Nishimura family who films the expedition for a documentary; Joslyn Reyes, a skeptical and temperamental mechanic and single mother; Jonah Maiava, an imposing and placid fisherman who is willing to believe in the existence of the paranormal and esoteric; Angus "Grim" Grimaldi, the gruff Glaswegian helmsman of the Endurance; and Alex Weiss, a goofy and bespectacled electronics specialist.
Plot
The game begins with Lara setting out on her first expedition aboard the ship Endurance, with the intention of finding the lost kingdom of Yamatai. By her suggestion and against Whitman's advice, the expedition ventures into the Dragon's Triangle, east of Japan. The ship is struck by a violent storm and shipwrecked, leaving the survivors stranded on an isolated island. Lara is separated from the others and captured by a strange, savage man. She manages to escape while her captor is killed as the cave collapses due to her actions. As Lara tries to locate the other survivors, she finds more evidence that the island is inhabited, such as strange carvings, dead bodies, and animal sacrifices. She eventually finds her friend Sam and a man called Mathias, who claims to be a teacher who was shipwrecked on the island. As Sam tells Mathias the legends of Himiko, Lara passes out; when she wakes, Mathias and Sam are nowhere in sight. When Lara regroups with the other survivors, Whitman decides to go with Lara and search for the still-missing Roth, while the rest of the group (Reyes, Jonah, Alex and Grim) set out to find Sam and Mathias. As Lara and Whitman explore, they discover that the island's inhabitants are worshipping Himiko, confirming that the island is Yamatai. Upon discovering a shrine erected in Himiko's name, they are captured by the islanders and taken to a settlement along with several other survivors from the Endurance. When the survivors attempt an escape, the captors turn on them. Lara is separated from Whitman and tries to hide, but is found by one of the islanders and forced to kill him. She fights off the remainder of the attackers and reunites with Roth, saving him from a wolf attack.
Lara manages to activate a radio tower and call for help, but the plane that answers the call is struck by a freak storm, and Lara hears a mysterious voice saying "No one leaves" in Japanese. Unable to save the surviving pilots, Lara is contacted by Alex and Reyes, who reveal that Sam has been kidnapped by the islanders, a violent cult known as the Solarii Brotherhood. Lara tries to rescue her, but is stopped by Mathias, leader of the Solarii, and ordered killed: she is saved by an attack from samurai-like Oni. Escaping the ancient monastery where she is taken by the Oni, she hears from Sam that Mathias is going to put her through the "Ascension", a "fire ritual" to find the next Sun Queen that will burn her to death if it is unsuccessful. Lara follows them to the Solarii fortress and is aided by Grim. The Solarii take Grim hostage, but he sacrifices himself so Lara can escape. With Roth's aid, Lara infiltrates the fortress and sees the ritual begin. When the fires are lit, a great wind blows them out, showing Sam to be the next Sun Queen. Lara escapes again and reunites with her friends, forming a plan to rescue Sam and escape. Aided by Whitman—who has managed to negotiate some degree of freedom with the Solarii—Lara returns to the palace to rescue Sam as Roth commandeers a helicopter to get them out. Lara succeeds, but persuades Sam to escape by land when she sees another storm gathering as the helicopter approaches. As Lara tries to force the helicopter pilot to land, they are brought down, with Lara nearly dying. Roth revives Lara, then takes a fatal blow from Mathias meant for Lara. While mourning Roth, Lara accepts that the storms are not natural, but are somehow connected to the Sun Queen and designed to prevent anyone from leaving the island. She meets up with the other survivors, who have evaded the Solarii long enough to secure a boat for escaping the island, provided that it can be repaired. They are joined by Whitman, who claims to have escaped, though Lara begins to suspect him of working with the cultists. Lara and Alex find parts for the boat in the wreck of the Endurance. They come under attack by the Solarii and Alex triggers an explosion, sacrificing himself so that Lara can escape with the tools.
Finding an account of a World War II-era Japanese military and Nazi scientific expedition to the island that sought a way to harness the storms as a weapon, Lara decides to explore a coastal tomb, where she finds the remains of a samurai general who committed seppuku. It is revealed in a message he left that he led the Queen's Stormguard, the Oni that defend the monastery, and that the Queen's successor took her own life rather than receive the Sun Queen's power, leaving the Sun Queen trapped in her body after death, and her rage has manifested as the storms. Lara realises that the Ascension is not a ceremony to crown a new queen, but rather a ritual that transfers the original Sun Queen's soul into a new body: Himiko's spirit wants to escape its current body, and Mathias plans to offer Sam as a new host in exchange for his freedom. Lara returns to the survivors on the beach to find that Whitman has betrayed them, abducting Sam and handing her over to Mathias. Lara, Jonah and Reyes give chase, heading up a river to the monastery, with Lara arriving just in time to see Mathias trick Whitman into facing the Oni: the Oni kills Whitman. After fighting her way through both the Solarii and the Stormguard, Lara arrives at the top of the monastery where Mathias is performing the Ascension ritual. Lara fights her way to the central platform, and after a struggle shoots Mathias off the platform using both his and her own pistols. She then destroys Himiko's remains, saving Sam and dispersing the storms. Lara, Sam, Reyes and Jonah then leave the island and are picked up by a cargo ship: as they sail home, Lara realizes that the mythical stories her father told her were more than stories, deciding not to return home just yet.

Plot
In 2054, six months after enlisting for the United States Marine Corps, Privates Jack Mitchell and his best friend Will Irons are stationed in Seoul, South Korea, in an effort to repel a massive North Korean invasion force. The mission is successful, but at a massive cost: 6000 Marines are killed, including Will. Mitchell loses his left arm due to a piece of shrapnel severing it when he and Will were tasked to take down an aerial launcher, but is saved by his squad leader, Sergeant Cormack.Whilst attending Will's funeral, Mitchell is approached by Will's father, Jonathan Irons. Irons offers Mitchell a place in his private military company, Atlas. Mitchell accepts and is given a "second chance" in the form of a high-tech prosthetic arm, as well as elite training and state-of-the-art gear. He befriends three fellow Atlas operatives: Ilona, Gideon and Joker.
Mitchell's first assignment with Atlas is to rescue the Nigerian Prime Minister, Samuel Abidoyo, from the KVA, a large anti-western, anti-technology terrorist organization. The president and a few other technologists are held hostage at a technology summit in Lagos but is quickly rescued by Atlas forces, who soon discover that the KVA are not targeting the president, but a technologist who was attending the conference. They pursue the escaping KVA vehicles and recover the technologist, who is taken back to Atlas HQ on Irons' orders.
Soon afterwards, the KVA launches a massive surprise attack on nuclear power stations all over the world. Mitchell, along with a massive Atlas quick-reaction force, is sent to retake a power plant in Seattle, Washington, and although the Atlas forces manage to defeat the KVA, they are too late to stop the KVA from initiating a meltdown and blowing up the reactors. 50,000 people around the world die as a result of the KVA attacks.
Four years later, the world has recovered from the attacks with the help of Atlas, which has provided aid and shelter to everyone affected. Atlas has now become the largest corporation in the world and effectively controls much of the world's resources. Mitchell, Gideon and Joker are stationed in Detroit to track down an affiliate of the KVA, Dr. Pierre Danois, who has information on the whereabouts of the KVA's leader, codenamed Hades. They track down Danois successfully and he is interrogated by Ilona, who manages to get answers out of him.
Danois' intel points to Hades being in Greece, and Irons sends Atlas forces to track him down and kill him, despite opposition from U.S. officials. Mitchell and Ilona locate Hades and Mitchell shoots him using a WASP drone, but it is revealed to be a double and they are ambushed by masses of KVA forces. The real Hades makes an attempt to escape, but Mitchell and Ilona stop him and, after a brief struggle, Mitchell cuts Hades' throat. As he is dying, Hades utters the words "Irons knows" and gives Mitchell and Ilona a storage device containing a recording.
With Atlas now at the height of their popularity due to killing Hades and effectively destroying the whole of the KVA, Mitchell and Gideon are accompanying Irons at the Atlas headquarters in the thriving New Baghdad. Ilona shows Mitchell and Gideon the recording that Hades gave them, and it reveals that the technologist from Nigeria warned Irons of the KVA attacks on the nuclear reactors, but Irons killed the technologist and deliberately kept quiet about the attacks in order to make a profit from the aftermath. Gideon believes the recording is a fake, but Mitchell and Ilona attempt to flee the headquarters, only to be held captive by Atlas troops on Irons' orders. They are contacted by an unknown person who assists them in escaping captivity, and they escape New Baghdad. Their unknown assailant turns out to be Mitchell's old sergeant Cormack, who is now part of an elite U.S.-led multinational team known as the Sentinel Task Force, whose priority was previously to investigate the KVA attacks and prevent anything like it from happening again, but once Atlas and Jonathan Irons grew in power, it became clear he and his company were the bigger threat, and the Sentinels are now investigating Irons and Atlas.
Mitchell and Ilona defect to Sentinel and, along with Cormack and Knox, infiltrate Irons' home in Bangkok to find intel on a mysterious Atlas operation called "Manticore". They find out that "Manticore" is a biological agent that only targets specific genotypes (those that are not registered on the Atlas database) and will not affect any Atlas personnel, meaning Irons can deploy it in the midst of a battle without risking harm to his own troops, while the opposing force is annihilated . They tag a cargo plane that is about to transport a large shipment of Manticore before pulling out.
Later, the Sentinel forces move in on the Atlas cargo plane and bring it down over Antarctica. As they are attempting to secure the Manticore, a large Atlas force ambushes from drop pods and recovers the Manticore. Cormack, Ilona and Mitchell manage to take out most of the Atlas soldiers, but are captured by Gideon and his squad. Gideon calls for evac before suddenly shooting his squadmates and helping the remaining Sentinel forces dispose of the Manticore.
With Gideon now on the side of Sentinel, he is reunited with his old teammates once more. Gideon reveals where Manticore is being made - in an Atlas bio lab in Bulgaria. He and Mitchell infiltrate the lab and destroy it before escaping in an experimental Atlas hover-tank.
A month later, Jonathan Irons is inaugurated into the United Nations. He issues a speech effectively declaring war on the governments of the world, now obsessed with total domination and believing the world would be better off under Atlas. His first move is an attack on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, which Sentinel forces attempt to repel. They fail, and the Golden Gate Bridge is demolished over a U.S. Navy carrier, which is promptly boarded by Atlas forces. Mitchell and Gideon are among only a handful of Sentinel operatives to survive the attack, and are soon joined by Cormack and Knox, who help them in retaking the carrier and destroying the advancing Atlas ships.
With Atlas now officially at war with the world, U.S. forces close in on the Atlas headquarters in New Baghdad. Mitchell, Ilona, Cormack, Gideon, and Knox are among the personnel involved in the attack, and they manage to defeat most of the Atlas forces in the area. With New Baghdad under siege and Atlas losing, Irons deploys Manticore, which wipes out all the U.S. forces in the area, including Knox. Mitchell, Ilona and Gideon survive since they were once Atlas personnel and are thus unaffected by Manticore.
The three are captured and taken to an Atlas prison camp, where they meet up with Cormack. Irons meet the four in person and shoots Cormack in the leg before destroying Mitchell's prosthetic arm as payback for him defecting from Atlas. Ilona and Gideon overpower their captors and rescue Mitchell and Cormack. Whilst escaping, they learn that Irons plans to unleash Manticore strikes on military bases all over the world. They escape the camp after Mitchell commandeers an AST, but Cormack succumbs to his wounds and dies.
With little hope of taking New Baghdad and stopping Atlas, Mitchell and Gideon attempt one final, all out frontal attack in a pair of AST suits, while Ilona guides them. They manage to infiltrate the Atlas launch center and destroy the Manticore rockets before they are launched. However, because they had to access the rocket from the launch vents and they were caught in the blast, Mitchell is in critical health, so Gideon has to carry him. Irons shows up and locks down their exoskeletons, rendering them unable to move, but refuses to kill them in an attempt to show that he still has some humanity left in him, still claiming that he was "saving the world from itself." and Gideon arguing "Twisted fucks throughout history have used the same argument...". As he flees, Mitchell manages to escape his exoskeleton and catch up with Irons in his office at the top of the Atlas headquarters. After a brief struggle, Irons nearly falls off the edge of the roof, but grabs onto Mitchell's lifeless prosthetic arm and tries to convince him to pull him up to safety. Mitchell, unable to shake Irons off, severs his own prosthetic arm with a knife and watches as Irons falls to his death. As Gideon arrives to help Mitchell, he comments that Atlas is still at large and the war has only just begun.
NBA 2K15 : DROP IT LIKE ITS HOT!!!!! EXCLUSIVELY ON PLAYSTATION 3 AND 4
NBA 2K15 is a basketball simulation video game

MyTEAM card or rookie Kevin Durant , and MyPLAYER jerseys inspired by Kevin Durant.
On August 6, 2014 it was announced that Crew will be back in the game
for current-gen consoles, then on August 7, 2014 it was announced that
the game would have a new mode called MYLeague, which is similar to NBA
2K14's GM mode but with added customization and improvements. New RPG
elements have also been introduced to the game, such as the conversation
system and press conferences. On September 17, 2014 it was announced a
face scanning system would be introduced into the game, allowing the

enhancements first introduced in the eighth-generation versions of NBA 2K14.
Development
New features
Scanning system
NBA 2K15 allows players to scan their faces into the game for created players, using the PlayStation Camera on PlayStation 4 or the Kinect on Xbox One. The 3-D mapping process creates a realistic rendition of the gamer's face to make their gaming experience as real as possible. The process of scanning the face will take about 30 seconds. Players need to get very close (6-12 inches) to the camera and slowly turn their heads 30 degrees to the left and right during the scanning process.MyCareer mode and upgrade system
For Next-Gen systems (Xbox One and PS4), MyCareer Mode has been revamped with new additions such as the mentor and upgrading system. The player's MyPlayer speaks to the leader of the team before and after games. 2K implemented their voices providing for a more in-depth user experience. These features have allowed for a greater "storyline" to be integrated into MyCareer mode. MyCareer also uses a new upgrading system which gets more virtual currency from endorsement deals, completing challenges, and badges (which come in bronze, silver, and gold).Coaching advice
A new coach satisfaction system has been introduced that provides real-time feedback based on the MyPlayer's court performance. MyPlayer is mentored by Los Angeles Clippers head coach Doc Rivers, who will either praise or admonish the player based on their gameplay.Soundtrack
