Resident Evil Revelations is making the jump from 3DS to home consoles and PC this Friday; sporting a makeover, new encounters and enemies. We're not entirely sure whether it will work as well in translation, seeing as it was custom-designed for the handheld format, but the story and ammo-conserving survival elements will please series fans disappointed by RE6.

A demo is available on the Wii U eShop, though it does suggest that precise aiming is more than a little finicky.

Sam & Isaac Hit The Road

Ubisoft have sent over a new trailer for Splinter Cell Blacklist's co-op campaign that sees Sam Fisher team up with CIA agent Isaac Briggs. Apparently 14 maps and four modes will be available, both online and splitscreen, with players able to coordinate stealth takedowns or boost each other to high places.

It looks rather fun, actually, and with luck the levels will be wide and tall enough to provide plenty of strategic opportunities. Blaclist releases on August 22nd; check out our Splinter Cell Blacklist preview for more intel.

Ah, the old west. It’s good to be back. Techland’s last Juarez title (The Cartel) opted for a modern setting and suffered from a large dose of ‘bloody awful’ leaking from every festering orifice. So, um yeah, we weren’t fans.

However, I was a huge fan of the game before that, Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, which featured a fantastically realised Wild West setting during and after the Civil War. After the mega success of Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption, you would have thought that Ubisoft would have insisted Techland cranked out a Wild West follow up to Bound in Blood. Well, several years later (now that the Wild West bandwagon has long gone) we have one in the form of Gunslinger, a low-priced download-only game.

Reason for concern? Lack of ambition? Low budget productions values? You won’t find any of those here. Much like Blood Dragon, Ubisoft are really pushing the envelope on the limits of what we expect from a downloadable title. Gunslinger, although certainly not without its faults, puts many full priced FPS games to shame.

You are Silas Grieves, a grizzled old gunslinger retelling his tall tales in exchange for a few drinks in a small, sleepy town saloon. Silas claims to have fought alongside the likes of Billy the Kid and duelled against legendary outlaws including Jesse James, John Hardin, Butch Cassidy and more.

Today's trailer might have been entirely CGI, but Warner Bros have also sent over some action-packed screenshots of Batman: Arkham Origins in action. The pre-Christmas Gotham setting makes for some atmospheric fights in the swirling snow (let us throw snowballs, please!), which will once again offer some brutal counters designed to simultaneously punish large groups of henchmen.

Batman: Arkham Origins releases in October, starring a younger and more reckless Caped Crusader. It's in development at Warner Bros. Montreal.

We've got three GRID 2 trailers awaiting your inspection after the break, one of which shows an 'Eliminator' race taking place in Dubai, while the other two focus on the Abu Dhabi Yas Marina circuit and touring cars in some glamorous globetrotting locations.

The rather pretty racer is out next week for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Naughty Dog have released another behind-the-scenes look at The Last Of Us, this time exploring the themes of death and player choice, and how they translate into gameplay (along with some amazing beards from practically everyone on staff). The anticipated PS3 exclusive has now gone gold ahead of a June 14th launch.

More details in Matt's The Last Of Us hands-on preview.

Lincoln unfolds before us, a lush, verdant landscape of dilapidated, crumbling buildings succumbing to nature's throttling embrace. “I’ve never seen anything like this before,” says Ellie, commenting on a little patch of woodland. Her relatively cloistered life up to this point, not to mention her age (she's fourteen), has given her a certain childlike wonder when it comes to the calm, still surroundings. Little creatures dash about here and there, somehow having escaped the clutches of the virulent fungal infection that has starved the city of humanity.

Whereas the demo we played previously was a very tense, rather linear affair, with a number of claustrophobic, interior sections, this new build manages to evoke a sense of openness, particularly when we manage to overcome our first obstacle: a chain-link fence.

Where Nathan Drake would have leapt over the thing, probably slipping halfway for a quick QTE, The Last of Us' Joel simply picks up a plank nearby and uses it to bridge a gap between buildings. It's a simple, effective solution to a pleasantly organic puzzle of sorts that subtly highlights the fact that this game is all about the simple things: scavenge what you can, make use of the environment. There were no heroic acrobatics to be had here, but there's a pleasant solidity to everything, Joel seems to  handle a little heavier than Nate, and that physicality will become impactful in time.

A new trailer for Dontnod Entertainment's Remember Me acts as a perfect way to mug up on the premise and setting, introducing us to Neo-Paris and its evil corporations that turn memories into commodities. It's out on June 7th for PS3 and Xbox 360, though Carl feels that the mechanics could use some fine tuning in our Remember Me hands-on preview.

The Last Of Us promises to give us a taste of one of the PS4's next-gen features: the ability to play a game while it's still downloading.

Though nowhere near as epic as our recent Dealspwn playthrough (honest), Fuse's official launch trailer makes a decent fist of showing off the alien tech-powered weaponry and cooperative combat that Insomniac's upcoming shooter promises to bring to the table.

Fuse releases on May 31st in Europe. If you enjoyed the trailer, a short Fuse demo is available on PSN and Xbox Live.

“Holiday” Launch On PS3, Demo Due In July

Reports were emerging earlier today on what would be announced this afternoon, but we now have official confirmation straight from Sony themselves – Gran Turismo 6 is happening, and it’s coming to the Playstation 3 later this year. We’ve got the details, along with a bunch of screenshots, for your perusal after the jump.

A handful of our peers and some selected motoring journalists have trotted off to Silverstone today for an incredibly poorly kept secret event where Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi will discuss the future of the series.

Mega Shock: The future of the series is Gran Turismo 6.

Of all the enemies we've faced in Pandora's dangerous wastes, the Psycho is easily the most famous. Gracing both games' box art and constantly burbling all manner of vaguely threatening nonsense, these depraved lunatics charge into combat with no self-preservation whatsoever, gleefully bringing sharpened sticks to a gunfight and setting themselves on fire at the slightest provocation. They've certainly got a bit of a reputation for brainlessness, but you can't argue with the results.

However, after getting hands-on with Borderlands 2's latest vault hunter, it appears that we've grossly underestimated their intelligence. Krieg The Psycho may look every inch the tactless goon, brandishing an enormous chain axe and continually bellowing all manner of insane epithets at the top of his lungs, but he's an advanced character designed for Borderlands veterans looking for a nuanced and surprisingly tactical gameplay experience.

In essence, Krieg boils down to one simple rule. To defeat your enemies, you'll need to hurt them as much as possible... and go out of your way to hurt yourself in imaginative and masochistic ways. Before tactically - and voluntarily - setting yourself on fire.
