E3 2014 officially begins today but every year it's the day before - where the big press conferences take place - where all the big announcements, reveals and gameplay footage teasers are revealed. Since 2013 was dominated by the introduction of new hardware consoles from Microsoft and Sony, this year the focus was squarely on the video games. And a lot of video games we got!
Below is a list highlighting the major new announcements that took place during the show, from the official confirmation of Grand Theft Auto V coming to next-gen platforms (and PC!) and a new Uncharted and LittleBigPlanet for PS4 to a collection of Halo content and a new Crackdown coming to Xbox One. We won't even get started on the third-party reveals so scroll down and see what's up - with links to all the teaser trailer and gameplay demos that debuted.
Below that we've included links to all the additional news bits and trailers for game we already knew about heading into E3 2014. It's a great week for video games!
