Steampunk knights infiltrate a Victorian-era blimp in The Order: 1866

Ready at Dawn and Sony’s Santa Monia Studio keep peppering us with little bits of The Order: 1866, and it always looks killer. The game seems to borrow Gears of War’s action sensibilities, but sets it in an alternate history take on Victorian-era London with a steampunk aesthetic and a supernatural bent.

This trailer, a 2014 Game Awards debut, shifts away from the latter as a troop of the game’s heroic order of Arthurian knights infiltrate a blimp in mid-air. There’s not a whole lot of The Order‘s cover-based gameplay to be seen, but the game looks as visually sharp as it ever has.

The Order: 1866 comes to PlayStation 4 on February 20, 2015.

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble is as fun to watch as it is to play
Monkeys race one another in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble.

I couldn’t tell you what the last Super Monkey Ball game I played was, but I can still talk your ear off about the series. That’s thanks to the speedrunning community that has formed around the franchise, making it into the most exciting game to watch when it's played at a high level. After spending close to a decade watching old games turned inside and out, I’m ready to finally dig into a new entry for myself.

Thankfully, I’m getting that chance on June 25 when Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble launches on Nintendo Switch. The latest entry in Sega’s precise platforming series comes loaded with content, from an adventure mode with 200 stages to multiple 16-player multiplayer modes. That’s all exciting, but my attention was on one question when I sat down to demo all of that last week: How fun will it be to watch players master it?

PlayStation 6: release date speculation, price, specs, and more
sony reveals customizable ps5 dualsense edge controller front and back

In a recent quote, Sony Senior Vice President Naomi Matsuoka said: "Looking ahead, PS5 will enter the latter stage of its life cycle." Many in the industry took that to mean that we may be hearing about the next PlayStation console sooner rather than later.

Considering Sony has yet to break its naming convention, it feels safe to assume whatever future home console we get will be called the PlayStation 6. But not only has the name not been officially confirmed, but neither has the idea of a next-generation PlayStation console or even a PS5 Pro. It's almost a guarantee, but technically nothing is set in stone. Rumors and potential leaks have already started stirring up excitement, so let's see what the future of PlayStation may look like according to the rumors.
