Battlefield Hardline Could ‘Perhaps’ Have Jets
The smaller-scale setup of Battlefield Hardline's cops-and-robbers premise might seem like an odd fit for airplanes, but the developers at Visceral Games aren't completely opposed to the idea of eventually putting them in.
"No jets or tanks in this one," the developer said on Twitter in response to a fan question about vehicles in Hardline. They later partially rescinded the statement when asked about whether or not airplanes would one day make it in, saying "In the initial release no, but if it fits the themes of any additional content, perhaps."

During in an interview with Japanese publication Famitsu (via Dualshockers), Kojima was asked if PS4 owners would ever be able to play earlier titles in the series, and responded that he was 'too busy' to man such a project.

New Artwork Revealed for Godzilla the Game
Bandai Namco released new artwork and PlayStation 4 screenshots for Godzilla the Game, showcasing a variety of monsters the titular beast will clash with.

The architecture and surrounding cityscapes, though, are being designed to look like the older movies from the 1950s. The screens below show some of the other monsters joining the cast.
Bandai Namco originally announced Godzilla the Game as a Japanese PS3 exclusive, but at The Game Awards 2014 in Las Vegas, said it's planning on a summer 2015 release date for both PS3 and PS4 in North America.
