Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is a wordy title, but an apt one. Like The Chinese Room's earlier effort on , at least in the sense that you're exploring this lived-in world reading into the details of people who once occupied a particular space. But whereas Gone Home told its story within a single home densely packed with little details, Rapture is broader in scope: it's about walking through fields and forests, passing through buildings on occasion but generally soaking up the natural splendor of this setting as you travel from one large area to the next.

With the support of Sony Santa Monica behind The Chinese Room's relatively small team of 13 people, Rapture looks poised to deliver on its intriguing premise. Stay tuned for more on this gorgeous PlayStation 4 exclusive.

Its safe to say that God of War fans are anxious to see what becomes of the next God of War; what happens next, based on the ending events in God of War 3 involving Kratos; who or what dragged him off of that mountain? Did he himself do it? He did also release Pandoras powers into the spirit world so what becomes of that? Are there now a bunch of spirits running around with god-like powers? What will the plot be in general? Hes not angry anymore right? So whats his purpose this time? Aside from in-game plot points gamers are most likely also curious to see how Kratos and the game will look graphically on the next gen console, which may happen at E3, which now seems inevitable based on Sony Santa Monica Studios latest tweet. But how will Sony Santa Monica approach it this time? With the same ole formula?

A few months ago Sony Santa Monica canceled the production of an unannounced PS4 IP under the leadership of God of War III Game Director Stig Asmussen. Unfortunately that also caused a round of layoff that left quite a few talented developers looking for a job. Luckily we can report today that two of those developers have now found a new place to express their talent quite close to home.
