Sony's PlayStation 4 continues to dominate the world of gaming, with over 75 million consoles in the wild. And what's selling all those consoles? Great games! Games like the incredible-looking "The Last of Us: Part II," which Sony dug into in a lengthy video on Monday evening: [last of us part II 2] It's one of four hotly anticipated games that Sony showcased during an event at the video game industry's annual E3 gathering in Los Angeles: "Spider-Man," "Ghost of Tsushima," "Death Stranding," and the aforementioned "The Last of Us: Part II." Check out all four below: 1. "THE LAST OF US: PART II" Screenshot/YouTube The folks behind the Indiana Jones-esque blockbuster third-person action "Uncharted" series are true veterans of video game creation. The studio, Naughty Dog, goes all the way back to the first PlayStation console, having created the beloved "Crash Bandicoot" series. Beyond those two (massive) game franchises, Naughty Dog is also responsible for the incredible, genre-pushing PlayStation game "The Last of Us." Naughty Dog's next game is a highly anticipated follow-up, the aptly-titled "The Last of Us: Part II." In "Part II," the duo of protagonists Joel and Ellie are making a return. But in the latest trailer, Ellie's out on her own. CHECK OUT THE FULL GAMEPLAY VIDEO RIGHT HERE: Youtube Embed: //www.youtube.com/embed/btmN-bWwv0A Width: 800px Height: 450px 2. "GHOST OF TSUSHIMA" Screenshot/YouTube Sucker Punch, the studio that created the PlayStation blockbuster "inFamous," is working on something completely new: a samurai game set in Feudal Japan, called "Ghost of Tsushima." All we know about the game is that it's a tale of revenge. Here's the full description from Sucker Punch: "The year is 1274. Samurai warriors are the legendary defenders of Japan — until the fearsome Mongol Empire invades the island of Tsushima, wreaking havoc and conquering the local population. As one of the last surviving samurai, you rise from the ashes to fight back. But, honorable tactics won't lead you to victory. You must move beyond your samurai traditions to forge a new way of fighting — the way of the Ghost — as you wage an unconventional war for the freedom of Japan." From what the trailer shows, "Ghost of Tsushima" is a third-person, character-driven action game with a focus on swordplay. This is a samurai game, after all. Beyond the story, and the pedigree, "Ghost of Tsushima" simply looks incredibly unique. It's gorgeous, and set in a time period rarely explored in blockbuster video games. Perhaps more than any other trailer Sony showed, "Ghost of Tsushima" looks the most interesting and fresh.
