Next-Gen Middle-Earth Game Announced
It's a double-barrelled nightmare, but the first next-gen Middle-Earth game from Warner-Brothers (maybe not that last one) was today announced for Playstation 4, Xbox One, PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
Ghosts Sells More on PS4 than on Wii U
The PlayStation 4 isn't available in the UK until the end of the month, and yet more people have ordered the game for the PS4 than they have for the Wii U.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls Expansion Included With PS4 Version
There have been plenty of announcements at this year's BlizzCon, including the reveal that the Playstation 4 Diablo III release will include the Reaper of Souls expansion. Reaper of Souls will be packed with new features, including more randomization. Game director Josh Mosqueira understands that the original Diablo III campaign didn't sit right with many, primarily since none of the areas truly felt different when revisiting them. The older Diablo releases had a lot of randomized design, and Mosqueira and the rest of the developers aim to fix that with the new campaign featured in Souls.
The Hadouken Cabs PS4 Viral Video Mystery
Sony is going viral with the Playstation 4 in their latest teaser video for a company called Hadouken Cabs. The advertisement is 31 seconds of strangeness that could be hinting at a future Street Fighter title for Sony's soon-to-be-released next-gen console. Check it out below.
Call of Duty: Ghosts (Might Have) Sold Well
It's no surprise to anybody with a brain, but Call of Duty: Ghosts appears to have done very well. They've shipped a billion dollars worth of units (some 17 million), some of which will presumably have been snapped up by consumers. That's the problem - we just don't know.
Your Vita is Ready for PlayStation 4
A new update for the PlayStation Vita might not seem to do very much right now, but it actually contains an awful lot. If you're planning to buy a PlayStation 4 over the coming weeks, today's Vita update prepares your handheld for many of the cross-platform features Sony have previously announced.
A Realm Reborn Sales Better than Expected
The history of Final Fantasy XIV is a little rough. It had to basically be remade from scratch after it released to terrible reviews and financial ruin. It would have been the first truly bad Final Fantasy game ever released, if not for A Realm Reborn, which was significantly better than the original release.
Ground Zeroes Releasing Spring 2014
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will be released on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One in Spring 2014, and will be available to purchase from £19.99.
Ubisoft Drops Uplay Service For Good
Due to backlash from gamers, Ubisoft has decided to drop their controversial Uplay service. The most recent outcry about Ubisoft's version of an online pass is over the Edward's Fleet game mode in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. In order to access the feature, gamers had to enter in the code that came with their new copy of the game, or pay a fee. However, because of the inability for some users to be able to play Edward's Fleet, Ubisoft is now offering it for free. Here's more from their official blog post:
Media Servers Not Supported on PlayStation 4
While perhaps not as annoying as the news that PlayStation 4 users won't be able to play MP3s, the fact that media servers will no longer be supported is going to be far more annoying (albeit to a smaller group of people). Watching a film or listening to music stored on your PC but played via your console was a great feature on PS3, and one that would have come in handy going forward.
