Talk to Bungie about Destiny and it will readily admit the game's imperfections. Speak to the Destiny's passionate fanbase and they will likely tell you many of the same gripes, only louder. Plenty played Destiny during its inaugural year and kept playing through the game's many ups and downs. Others did not. By Bungie's own metrics - three million loyal players logging on every day - the game sounded nothing short of a success. But many who tried the shared world shooter left for good, feeling burned by expectations of the vision Bungie had laid out.

CD Projekt Red has issued a formal statement to Eurogamer this morning in response to an unfounded rumour that spread yesterday.

A decade ago Koei Tecmo announced a samurai action game called Ni-Oh for PS3 (there were even some screenshots). And then it disappeared... until today! This morning on Sony's Tokyo Game Show stage Koei Tecmo re-unveiled Nioh (the styling is all over the place and there's no hyphen now, so I'm normalising it) as a PlayStation 4 game coming in 2016.

And that's a wrap. The hotly tipped Last Guardian was a no-show, but we did get the announcements of Gravity Rush 2, a PS4 remaster of the first Gravity Rush, a Bloodborne expansion called The Old Hunters, the reappearance of Tecmo Koei's long since AWOL samurai game Nioh, changeable colour plates for the PS4 and Project Morpheus' new name - PlayStation VR. Oh, and a dodgy-looking new online Resident Evil. Please look forward to them, and relive the press conference as it happened below.

This of course means I've only just started playing the game; I'm up to chapter 3 to be precise, so don't expect to witness any S rankings - I'm still very much learning the ropes.

UPDATE: Upon official launch, Super Mario Maker's had its old unlock system, which saw new parts arriving over the first nine days of play, patched out in favour of an approach that lets you get to the good stuff far more swiftly.
