PS3 and PS4 will have the earliest access to Destiny beta, exclusive content in MGS 5

PS3 and PS4 score early access to Destiny beta, exclusive Snake skin and mission in MGS 5

Beyond the obvious new hardware flying about and news from Naughty Dog, there were a few additional tidbits revealed tonight at Sony's PlayStation 4 launch event. The PlayStation brand as a whole will offer gamers a few things they can't get elsewhere, with the PS3 and PS4 both offering the earliest access to a beta test for Bungie's Destiny (if you haven't pre-ordered, check the blog for invite codes) early next year, plus an exclusive "classic" Solid Snake skin and mission in Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes when it launches next spring. Finally, the next entry for Sucker Punch's Infamous series has a release date, as it revealed Infamous: Second Son will be released March 21st, 2014. There's a trailer for each after the break (plus an overall PS4 launch trailer), view and plan your next-gen purchases wisely.

Metal Gear Solid V is Kojima’s first next-gen FOX Engine game, developer reveals (update: video)

Konami provides sneak peek at Metal Gear Solid V

Kojima Productions head Hideo Kojima this morning announced that The Phantom Pain and Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes combined is actually Metal Gear Solid V, the first next-gen game from Kojima Productions running on its powerful FOX Engine. The news was revealed today during a FOX Engine panel at the Game Developers Conference. Kojima announced the combination of the previously announced concepts in a dramatic fashion, with his head wrapped in bandages, presumably as his alter ego Joakim Mogren. They provided a sneak peek trailer at the game's opening sequence, where Snake is attempting to escape from a hospital -- the trailer previously teased in late 2012. As FOX Engine is a next-gen platform, we're assuming that the game is heading to next-gen consoles, but Kojima's not saying anything solid just yet.

Update: GamesHQMedia managed to snag a trailer of the game, which we've embedded below.
