Resistance 3 fights to save Oklahoma in this new trailer

Things are not going well for the human resistance.  America has fallen, and the Chimera are moving in to wipe out a human refugee camp in Haven, Oklahoma.  Things look bleak, and the end seems to be just a matter of time. That cheerful thought is among the first that will go through your head when you fire up Resistance 3, and begin the fight for survival of the human race.

Resistance 3 takes place four years after the events of Resistance 2, and you take control of Joseph Capelli (the how and why of the new character are major spoilers, so if you plan to play Resistance 2, do so before reading too much about the plot of its sequel). Capelli has left the fight against the Chimera and is in hiding with his wife and child when the war finds him. An opportunity then appears that could seriously damage the Chimera, and so Capelli travels towards New York, fighting wave after wave of enemy along the way.

Besides the continuing storyline, Resistance 3 will feature co-op and multiplayer, both online and splitscreen. As with the previous titles, it remains a PlayStation 3 exclsuive when it hits stores on September 6.

Deathloop ending explained: Should you break the loop?
A stylized image of all Deathloop Visionaries connected by string.

Deathloop exists in a category of its own when it comes to genre, gameplay, and story. It's a detective/time loop game built on what feels like the foundation laid out by Dishonored. But Deathloop's charm comes from its wide cast of characters and their relationships, particularly Colt and Julianna's. At the game's conclusion, players face a complicated set of decisions, with each choice meaning something different for the end of the game. What do Deathloop's endings mean, and how does each decision affect the overall story? Warning: Massive spoilers ahead!

The best weapons in Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart
Ratchet flying a dragon in ratchet & Clank Rift Apart.

A wide selection of guns is expected in any shooter, third- or first-person, but Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart stands apart from most traditional shooters for a few reasons. The first is that no two guns in a Ratchet game are the same. You'll never come across "just another" pistol, SMG, or shotgun in this game. Instead, every gun has a distinct personality, style, use, and function in combat. Second, and this is the most important, is that you always have access to every gun you acquire. While that is extremely refreshing after coming from so many games where you can only hold two guns, it can also overwhelm you with choices.

Once you have them all, you'll be swapping between 20 options of guns in any combat encounter. With each being so distinct, it may be hard to figure out which ones are the best. There are no losers in this arsenal, but some are going to be much better for most situations you find yourself in. Since you'll need to spend your hard-earned bolts to purchase most of these, here are the best weapons in Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart you should be saving up for.

Sony is reversing its plans to shut down the PS Vita and PS3 digital storefronts following feedback from the community. Sony does still plan to "retire" PSP commerce functionality on July 2, 2021.

In a post on the PlayStation Blog, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO and President Jim Ryan explains the company made "the wrong decision." He goes on to say that, "when we initially came to the decision to end purchasing support for PS3 and PS Vita, it was born out of a number of factors, including commerce support challenges for older devices and the ability for us to focus more of our resources on newer devices where a majority of our gamers are playing on.
