Titanfall was always going to be a big next-gen game, despite the fact that it's available on PC and Xbox 360 as well, but we definitely didn't see just how big it'd turn out. Titanfall took to the top of the UK charts this week, and Xbox One sales almost doubled. With 96% extra consoles out there, I imagine there's plenty of choice when it comes to multiplayer.

Have you heard? Titanfall, the blockbuster AAA title from the people behind Call of Duty, the mech-based shooter that's supposed to push the Xbox One's overall launch period, doesn't even run at 1080p! It's been a huge talking point for people of a certain disposition since it was discovered a few weeks ago, although it might not be as permanent as you might think.

CD PROJECT have today announced that they'll be delaying The Witcher 3 into 2015. Although there was never a firm release date for the project, it was expected to be in stores in time for Christmas.

It looks like Titanfall might have had quite the launch. With so many people logging on Xbox Live to download patches and shoot each other up from massive death robots, the online service has come to a grinding halt. Sorry, that's not quite how the official channels have put it - Xbox Live Core Components are currently limited.

While the Lord of the Rings franchise focussed on a small group of people changing the world in a big way, The Hobbit was more about the group (at least up to a point). This isn't something that's been lost on the team behind LEGO The Hobbit either, as they've added new ways for you to work together with your "buddies." Warner Brothers today released a new trailer showcasing these new abilities, and the importance of your group.

Warner Brothers yesterday officially announced Batman: Arkham Knight for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The next-gen only detective game will be a sequel to Arkham City, and will be the last game in the series. Arkham Knight will take place in Gotham City proper this time around, and you'll have access to the Batmobile to help you move from place to place. You'll be able to get into the Batsuit once again this year.

There are a sizeable group of people who are hoping to one day play the game they loved last-gen in an improved, HD Remaster-Plus style on either the Xbox One or the PlayStation 4. It happened with Tomb Raider, it almost happened with Skyrim, and now it might just happen with the Mass Effect Trilogy.

If you've played an AAA game in the last twelve months, there's a good chance you've come across the concept of the 'Season Pass'. This gives you an entire collection of DLC at a reduced price, usually the cost of one DLC pack. It started, among other places, with Call of Duty, and Infinity Ward alumni Respawn were expected to continue the trend. They won't be - Titanfall will not have a season pass.

Konami have today announced that Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will receive a pre-emptive price cut on new-gen consoles. After weeks of people complaining about how short it apparently is, many were doubting the value of a two hour, £40 game. Today that price has been reduced to an RRP of £30.

The Xbox One has been out only a few months, and Microsoft have already announced a pretty major price drop in the UK. All future consoles will be available to purchase for £399, and the first of these new consoles will contain a free copy of Titanfall. They know this is going to be a system seller, and they're trying to make it as tempting as possible to those on the fence.
