This week’s PlayStation Store update in Europe is now live, adding a number of new PS3 and PS Vita games for you to download.

Ubisoft and Sony have confirmed that the PS4 bundle with Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag will be available at launch in Europe, on November 29th 2013. The new bundle is effectively a replacement for the Watch_Dogs bundle after the game was delayed by Ubisoft into Spring 2014.
The PS4 launches in North America in just over week, on November 15th 2013. To celebrate the launch, you can watch the PS4 All Access: Greatness Awaits livestream on 15th November from 4.00am GMT in New York City. The event will be streamed on UStream, and will include exclusive world premieres and announcements about the PS4 games that will define 2014 and beyond.
A new patch for Grand Theft Auto V has been released, updating the game to v1.05. The patch should address the final batch of GTA Online issues which people were experiencing, including vanishing cars and lost progress. These issues should never have made it into the final game, but hopefully we won’t see them again with the new patch.
Sony has revealed that the PlayStation Network will be undergoing scheduled maintenance tomorrow, Thuesday, 7th November 2013 for a total of 11 hours. The maintenance window will begin at 2:00 PM GMT and last until early Friday morning at 1:00 AM GMT.
Sony has released a new trailer for the PS4’s #4ThePlayers campaign, this time focusing on the new DualShock 4 controller and the improvements made to it compared to the DualShock 3. The trailer looks as how upcoming games use the new controller, including footage of Killzone: Shadow Fall, inFamous: Second Son, The PlayRooms and DriveClub.
LOVEFiLM, Netflix, BlinkBox, ITV Player and NowTV will not be available on PlayStation 4 in the UK at launch, while other provider’s streaming apps still remain in question. In response to questions over twitter, LOVEFiLM says they have no confirmed information on the new devices, with Netflix responding with a similar statement.
Guerrilla Games are so proud of Killzone: Shadow Fall’s framerate and resolution that they’ve released lightly compressed ultra-high bitrate video of multiplayer footage to show gamers just how impressive the game looks. Streaming the footage doesn’t do justice to the video, so you have to download it to truly experience the quality.
Need for Speed: Rivals has been confirmed as a PS4 launch title in North America, releasing on November 15th alongside the PS4. The game makes uses of the Frostbite 3 engine, giving players a unparalleled next-gen gaming experience. The new AllDrive feature in the game allows players to choose between single player, co-op, or multiplayer modes.
New details for Gran Turismo 6 has been revealed along with a new trailer. The game is scheduled for release on December 6th 2013, and will feature over 120 new cars, brining the total car tally to 1200+ vehicles. The game also has 100 different track layouts, with brand new locations and circuits such as Ascari, Spain.
