XBox One News

The idea of having dinosaurs in Battlefield 3 was both slightly confusing and endlessly entertaining. In a serious tactical shooter, just why would you want prehistoric creatures running around? Of course, DICE picked up on the chatter and started adding references to the game itself, via DLC.

Albert Penello recently posted to Neogaf explaining a number of things about the Xbox One. One of the biggest comments to come out of the post was that there was no way Microsoft were going to give up a 30% hardware advantage to Sony, as some figures (and some rather over-excited consumers) might suggest. People DO understand that Microsoft has some of the smartest graphics programmers IN THE WORLD. We CREATED DirectX, the standard API’s that everyone programs against. So…

It's been revealed that the Call of Duty: Ghosts unveiling was actually done on PC, with Xbox One controllers plugged in. With only three months before the launch of both the console and the game, some may be worried by this, although it's not really as bad as it sounds.

Before the next-gen consoles were officially announced, we saw only a few flashes of what might be happening with our favourite franchises. Job postings and vague teases that meant nothing twelve months ago now contain a wealth of information that hint at the games we'll be playing in 2014 and beyond; it's fascinating to look back and line things up.

A new rumour is floating around that Avalanche Studios, the developers behind Just Cause 2, may have been working on an Iron Man game. The title has since been cancelled, and perhaps if you consider the potential scale of that, you might just understand why. The rumour was started late last year (check the bottom post) when a job posting announced that they were looking for people to work on three AAA projects based on major IP. These were thought…

We reported late last month on a rumour that the Xbox One will be launching to a total of only 13 countries this holiday season. Microsoft have now confirmed this rumour with a recent update to the Official Xbox website.

Japanese developers are usually at the forefront of any console launch. However, the upcoming launch of PS4 and Xbox One will have zero games coming from any Eastern developer.

Ever since Microsoft confirmed a Gold Xbox Live membership was required to avail of the Xbox One's built-in DVR, Sony fans have been worried the same will apply to PS4 and that they'll need a PS+ subscription to make use of the PS4's game recording abilities.

We've all seen the new improvements made to the Xbox One achievement system, but what about if you want to play a cross-gen game on Xbox 360? What incentive do you have to pick up, say, Watch Dogs on Xbox One instead of Xbox 360?

The next Tomb Raider game (Tomb Raider 2 presumably, although it seems a little late in the day for that) is already "well into development" and will be available for next-generation consoles. Although nothing specific has been said, it's fair to presume it'll at least end up on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
