The next Hitman game is being developed for PC and new-gen consoles. That’s all we know about it, or at least that’s all we knew until earlier when IO Interactive posted an open letter to the official Hitman website revealing a little more about the genesis of the game. It appears they’ve looked at feedback for Absolution and will be creating something to please both old and new fans. From the letter: The game concentrates on the core Hitman fantasy…

Dark Souls II is gearing up to be a great game for core gamers, and hopefully it'll manage to be just as tough as its predecessors. Here's the problem: a lot of core gamers have moved onto next-gen consoles and would probably quite like the bulk of their hobby to happen from the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. Dark Souls II is only coming to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. But hope is not yet lost.

You've got your nice shiny next-gen console, you've got a HDTV and your state of the art smartphone for second screen play. There's only one thing missing really, isn't there? Tetris. Because as easy as it would be to joke about the classic game coming to the latest gaming machines, actually, there's not a down side.

Diablo 3 recently made the jump to PlayStation 3 and will soon be available on PlayStation 4 as well. Xbox One users have, so far, gone completely without, but that hasn't stopped them getting their hopes up after a couple of retailers have listed a re-release for Microsoft's latest machine. Could it be that Sony only paid for timed exclusivity and that Xbox One owners will get Diablo 3 in time as well?

Last week, Bethesda accidentally teased their fanbase with the unveiling of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One edition of Skyrim. The community went mad, some wondering why it was a necessary addition to new generation machines, others excited to once again explore a now refreshed, graphically improved land. Unfortunately, it isn't going to happen.

There are similarities between the various controllers on the market, but there are differences as well. Even when the controllers seem to offer comparable things and be relatively the same size, there may be features that just can't be utilized across every platform. That's why Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will be optimized for each different input method, Kojima has confirmed.

Titanfall is looking to offer an alternative arcade shooter experience that'll compete nicely with Call of Duty while pushing the genre on a little. Today, some were worried that things hadn't changed enough, with the announcement that the maximum number of combatants in a match will be 12.

Looking for something to scare your socks off? Alien: Isolation looks like it might actually be that game, and while we've been disappointed by the IP before, SEGA look to have fixed things completely this time around. Horror? Check. Deadly aliens? Check. Unnecessary character link to previous entries? Check. Hell - it could even be a new entry in the film franchise.

There really aren't enough co-op multiplayer games around, to the point where Left 4 Dead manages to stand out basically unchallenged. They're fantastic games in their own right, especially if you have people to enjoy them with, but ultimately there isn't much competition. That's going to change soon, when Evolve is released on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC later this year.

There have been a number of times over the last generation, when we've been told that local split-screen just isn't possible because the graphics of a game is SO good. I remember receiving a lecture from a rep at Eurogamer about why Hunted: The Demon's Forge couldn't possibly have local co-op because of how gorgeous the visuals were. Of course, it had co-op, but the representative firmly denied it anyway
