There may not be much in the way of new titles this week, but there are some gems amongst them. The Playstation 4 highlight is The Witcher 3, although both PS4 and PS3 players can go for the more sedate Farming Simulator 15 if CD Projekt's RPG sounds too strenuous. Vita players get the latest in the Hyperdimension Neptunia franchise, although an isometric shooter also appears after a release in Europe last month. There is trophy bearing DLC from Life Is Strange and plenty of DLC without trophies. Here's the list:
