Gravity Rush 2 is still real, and it’s spectacular looking

New screens It’s easy to forget that Sony is still working on a sequel toGravity Rush, which thankfully did not die a slow and gruesome death on the Vita, and was reborn on the PS4. And they seem proud of the project too, since it’ll be shown at E3 next month, but not before we geta new look from IGN.

Boy does it looks like what I’d picture Hell to be like, though I’m not sure why so many demons need rocking tits and ass but to each their own....
