The first teaser trailer for Doctor Sleep has been released, and horror fans may have noticed some very familiar shots in the new footage. Many viewers assumed that director Mike Flanagan was simply reusing footage from The Shining in his spooky sequel – especially since the end of the trailer also utilizes a few bars of the ominous main title theme from the Stanley Kubrick classic, which was composed by Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind.

If you haven’t seen the new Doctor Sleep trailer, watch it here:

Many sims are best played from a god-like perspective. You’re in charge, so you need to view the action from high up. You oversee large-scale projects, like constructing skyscrapers, re-routing highways, designing roller coasters, and populating entire worlds. You can play Planet Zoo from a distant vantage, and sometimes you’ll need to. But based on the hands-off demo the developers walked me through at E3 2019, the real fun in Planet Zoo happens on the ground.

Down there is where you’ll find giraffes pulling leaves off trees, where saltwater crocodiles bathe in the sun, where cheetahs get restless and sprint the perimeter of their enclosure. The animals are incredibly detailed (provided your GPU is up to the task), from the bears’ intricate fur shading to the reptiles’ glossy, reflective scales. I’m no zoologist, but the animations looked convincing, too. And the poop? There’s so much poop.

A lot of people hate on Twitter, but today I saw the good it can do. It is a powerful tool when wielded the right way. It didn’t literally find my car, but it kept me motivated to not give up.

Microsoft is showing off its fledgling xCloud game streaming service at E3, and I was able to sit down and try it out for myself as well as discuss the tech with its General Manager, Kevin LaChapelle. The “cloud based gaming service” warranted only a brief mention in Microsoft’s E3 conference, so I was pretty excited to discuss some of the details with Microsoft.

The company had setup a small demo table with a handful of Xbox controllers that had Samsung phones attached to them. Though the way the phones were attached to the controller screamed “pre-beta,” the whole setup seemed to work quite well. Picking up the wireless controller I jumped into some Halo 5: Guardians, eager to check out how it felt and if there was any perceptible latency or sluggishness. Microsoft said the games were all being hosted on their Azure data center in the Bay Area, which is approximately 400 miles away.

Every year, E3 unloads more gaming announcements, trailers, and details than any one human brain could hope to process. To help you find the games you need to pay attention to, IGN’s team of editors – many of whom possess at least one human brain – has been dispatched to the show to take in a superhuman amount of information and highlight the best ones out there by nominating them for one of or more of our Best of E3 Award categories.

We’ve now chosen our Game of Show for 2019, which is revealed in the video below! Be sure to check back tomorrow, when we’ll unveil our full list of winners for every category.

Just a reminder: a Best of E3 Award doesn’t necessarily mean a game is going to be amazing – it just means that it demos well in its incomplete state. Think of these as rewards for games that set their sights high and do a good job of making us believe they can hit their lofty goals, creating the enthusiasm and joy of anticipation that fuels so much of this hobby. To see what games actually make good on those promises, make sure to check out our reviews and our Game of the Year Awards every December.

During E3 2019’s Microsoft Briefing, FromSoftware announced Elden Ring, a project in the works as a collaboration between Dark Souls director Hidetaka Miyazaki and A Song of Ice & Fire author George R.R. Martin.

“It all started with me being a fan of Mr. Martin’s works. A Song of Ice & Fire and its drama adaptation Game of Thrones are both masterpieces. I am also very fond of Fever Dreams and Tuf Voyaging.”

FromSoftware approached Martin for a meeting, but Miyazaki originally did not expect that Martin would be willing to meet him so easily.

“When we sat down together, it clicked right away. I proposed to make a game together, and he said yes. I was really surprised by how smoothly it all went.”
