Titanfall is still a few months away from launch, but that doesn't mean that development has finished on it. There's a beta incoming, and that'll probably result in a bit of tweaking, and what's the chance of a major shooter coming out without a day-one patch to follow? That's not all the Titanfall staff are working on though. EA, via an earnings call to investors, have revealed that DLC is already being worked on by Respawn.

Hot on the heels of Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper is going to be making it into cinemas in 2016. The infamous gang of thieves will be starring in their very own state-of-the-art gorgeous feature film, probably involving a caper or two. You'll almost certainly want to take your kids to see Sly Cooper, especially since you'll secretly (or not so secretly) going for yourself anyway.

The PlayStation Now service is still an awfully long way out for EU users, who probably won't gain access to Cloud streaming until well into 2015. That point has been hit home even more today with Sony announcing PlayStation Now beta invites are being sent out to those lucky enough to have been selected.

There's a huge problem with episode gaming. It takes so damn long. It seems months ago that we were playing The Wolf Among Us, and even longer ago that we returned to Rapture with Burial At Sea.

An indie developer has spoken out on how beneficial having his game in the Steam Weeklong sale has been. Many developers have been quick in the past to post their surprise at just how much they can make by temporarily reducing the price of their game, but few have gotten excited about the Weeklong sale (which are being torn apart on sites like HotUkDeals).  Joe Wintergreen-Arthur, the director behind InFlux, posted to Twitter today about the success of having ...

Cliffy B was the face of Gears of War for a long time, and though he hasn't been involved with it for a few years, he was still first in line for comment when it was sold.

A Japanese newspaper reckons Nintendo have been thinking up various ways of bringing their IP to mobile devices (or rather, bringing people who use mobile devices to their consoles). Not only has this been going on for the last few months, but they're about to announce exactly what these plans are.

The first megaton announcement of the year has blown the collective socks off of gamers everywhere. Microsoft have today announced that they've acquired the Gears of War IP off Epic. Epic will no longer be involved with the adventures of the COG and there's no chance the franchise will make it to a Sony console.

Square Enix have this morning announced a release date for the PlayStation 4 version of their massively multiplayer RPG Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Those that were expecting it shortly after launch are likely to be a little disappointed, but in the grand scheme of things it's not too much of a wait.

If there's one thing pirates love, it's trophies. Many a buccaneer has been educed to tears after learning just how many hours they'll need to put into Killzone: Shadow Fall, and there are still tales on the high seas about the one guy that didn't even manage to get down the pole in Ghostbusters. In Assassins Creed IV Black Flag, you'll captain a ship and kill some templars, but how many people are there alongside you?
