A few screenshots from the newly revealed MGS5 from GDC 2013 (Game Developers Conference) running on the new FOX Engine from Kojima Productions. These look fantastic and look even better in motion. I can't wait to see more about this from Konami.
While the game is looking hella sweet, I've come across a not-so-nice rumor. Been seeing a lot of comments about David Hayter not being a part of MGS5 which, if this is true, is a huge bummer. David Hayter has been such a huge part of the MGS series as being the iconic voice of both Solid and Naked Snake. But don't rage out just yet because remember that Konami also didn't approach Quinton Flynn (the voice of Raiden) until Platinum Games took over the development of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Perhaps not including David Hayter in these early stages of MGS5's development was also a way of keeping it a secret to the media.
Rockstar Games just uploaded some new screenshots of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto V on their Facebook page and they are looking beast.
When I opened the Facebook album, I actually thought that I clicked the wrong link because at first glance, I thought it was a tourism album. They weren't lying when they said that there'd be scuba diving in this game. Totally geeking out right now.
It's March 27th and if you've been following the teasers of Battlefield 4 then you'd know that today is the release of the official trailer. Or should I say, official 17 minute long gameplay reveal.
While the gameplay demo may not have been as impressive as the Battlefield 3 one that they showed before (IMO), this has a more videogame feel and shows what looks to be actual segments in the campaign which I do appreciate. I've always been more a "not convinced until I see actual gameplay" kind of guy. CGI trailers are cool and all but that just won't cut it.
The graphics look incredible. The draw distance extends to about as far as the human eye can see plus all the active particles and even the tarps blowing in the wind on the constructed buildings are all moving. The people look photo realistic but you can still tell that they are virtual characters but at first glance, people could take this for a live action movie. To all you FPS and graphics nuts out there, sit back and enjoy.

I can't wait to get my hands on this game, and I'm sure people that are reading this feel the same way. So far, reviews are pouring in and it looks like it won't disappoint from what I'm reading.
New to BioShock? Don't worry. BioShock Infinite is not in any way a sequel to the first two games, so having this game as your first entry to the series won't ruin your experience story-wise. But I highly suggest you try the first two games when you have the chance, so you can really appreciate what Irrational Games have created.
BioShock Infinite Launch Trailer
BioShock Infinite has been in development for four years with 200+ people working on it, and Irrational Games took their time in developing this game to get everything right. From Elizabeth's AI, the story telling, down to every detail and gameplay mechanics to make it worthwhile for any player.
Just in case you missed the announcement, or choose not to acknowledge it, Diablo 3 is coming to PS4 and PS3. PC gamers are not too happy about the announcement since it doesn't include an online connection to play, while console players not familiar with the series are excited on how its going to turn out. Well, here's some gameplay footage showing how the console version in action.
If you noticed, the first bit of footage shows a Barbarian rolling, this is a new feature for the console version to give a bit more control when it gets messy. The video shows the new UI which doesn't seems right to me, especially how you switch gear.
The feature that will pretty much be a big selling point is the fact that the console version will not include an online connection to play. A simple feature stripped from PC players last year, owners of the console version will be allowed to play the game online or offline. You can also play the game locally without splitscreen. Playing locally with a player online is also possible.
Diablo 3 will be available for the PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3. No release date was given yet.
