    MLB 14: The Show will launch in spring 2014 for PS4, PS3 and Vita, Sony announced. Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera will be featured on the game's cover. Developer Sony San Diego unveiled a teaser trailer that boasts the ways that the game will take advantage of the PS4's graphical upgrades. For instance, MLB 14: The Show designer and community manager Ramone Russell notes that the PS3 only allowed for 42 different character models for fans in the virtual crowd for the game, whereas the PS4 allows for over a thousand. Russell says the game will also be "feature complete" on the next-gen system, and won't lose the series' Road to the Show and franchise modes in its transition to the PS4. Speaking of which, Sony added that starting with MLB 14: The Show, players will be able to carry their save files over to subsequent releases in the series, giving players' Road to the Show athletes and other career mode efforts life beyond the annual game's limited life cycle.

    Visiontrick Media's "exploratory" game Pavilion will launch in spring 2014 on PS4 and Vita, as announced during Sony's recent pre-TGS conference. The game features hand-painted, surreal 2D environments and "dreamy ambient music" by composer Tony Gerber. Visiontrick Media describes Pavilion as "a fourth person exploratory experience about guidance, influence and subliminal control." In it, players manipulate the main character's surroundings as well as his "sense."
