Saints Row 4 Coming
A tweet from a person working at Deep Silver has given us all the more reason to stay tuned to PAX East this year, as 'something HUGE' will be shown off there.
Although it's not definitely a yes, after Deep Silver purchased the rights to Saints Row in the THQ auction, it'd make a lot of sense to see a brand new Saints Row game hit the industry very soon.
Another tweet from Chris Stockman, the design director for Saints Row 1, tells us that he's heard 'around the campfire' that a new Saints Row game will be ready for retail this August, on current gen hardware.
This would put the release of the next Saints Row game dangerously close to a similar open

Virtuix Omni Virtual Reality
At CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2013 a virtual reality headset by the name of the Oculus Rift was shown off, and it felt the closest to actually being in the game since man has dabbled in the field of VR. It didn't give any discomfort to the wearer, and despite the sudden change in environment, it didn't leave users feeling disorientated at all.
The Oculus Rift in my opinion is a great invention, but it kind of struck me that whilst the wearer was moving around their head in this alternate environment, their body was stuck motionless, and having a controller in-hand to control movement and other actions just seemed so out-of-place and it's

Mass Effect Citadel DLC
Mass Effect 3 has had a lot of modifications added to it since launch, including a more appealing ending to the fans, and a huge amount of downloadable extra content and weapons. A new DLC pack by Bioware sounds like the biggest yet though, and will include extra missions that will be available throughout the main game.
Although not much information has been given about what it will entail, the new DLC, Citadel, will include Urdknot Wrekt, among other characters, and will be available at any point in the game where you have access to the Citadel.
Although the missions will be spread out and available at any time, there will be a noticeable 'end

Next Gen Console Predictions
There's been a lot of talk about the two next generation consoles, the PS4 and the Xbox "Durango," but so far there hasn't really been any roundup or analyzing of what the new consoles will bring, and how games will be responded to by the gaming communities.
Below is a list of what I believe to follow in the next two to three years, however these are just speculations, so it could be right, but it could be wrong.
The PS4 Brings in More Hardcore Gamers
We all already know the PS4 will be packing more raw power than the next Xbox, and because of this the Xbox may have trouble competing with the PlayStation 4, especially

Borderlands 2 Sixth Class
After the world's terrible reception of Gearbox Software's most recent game, Aliens: Colonials Marines, the Randy Pitchford led developer team may have lost quite a large chunk of their fanbase. Players are already getting a bit tired of waiting for the level cap raise in Borderlands 2, and most players have most likely moved to other games.
That hasn't stopped the Borderlands team from pushing out more content though, and according to Randy Pitchford when asked on twitter about a possible new class, it was definite yes that they were "working on it."
There have been a few other instances of extra content being mentioned via twitter,

Battlefield 4 Confirmed
EA is one of the biggest games publishers out there, and with so many different franchises under its belt, it only makes sense that whilst some become extremely successful, others crash and burn, and sometimes never see the light of day.
A good example of this is the new Medal of Honor: Warfigher game. Despite its attempts to bring something slightly different into the FPS genre, the sales for the title were appalling compared to other popular FPS games, and it's a bullet that EA has had to take hard to the chest.
EA is gathering its assets though, and killing off those that aren't beneficial to the producer's success ratings. For this reason

Destiny Info.
So Bungie has given the world a preview into the world of Destiny. Although no gameplay footage was shown, we've been given a bit more insight into how the game will work, and what we can find within the game.
Always on Connection
This was a big gripe for some players, an always on connection just doesn't make sense when you don't need the connection constantly to play the game, however with Destiny it makes a little more sense, and according to Bungie, bad connections won't affect your connection too badly.
"Activision has run a site-specific infrastructure on the world's biggest multiplayer game for several years. While you can play campaign in Call of Duty

Crysis 3 Popular
The super graphically impressive series by Crytek has received a fair amount of success in the world of gaming, however it's been no match for other shooters like Call Of Duty or Halo. One reason for this may be that the previous Crysis games never really had a strong multiplayer element to the full bundle.
Crysis 3 has built upon the previous multiplayer experience, creating gameplay both enjoyable and competitive. And Crytek's decision to focus on the multiplayer aspects as well as the singleplayer ones has seemed to prove successful.
According to Crytek, the Crysis 3 multiplayer beta/demo received over 3 million downloads, and top of this, their game received 40% more pre-orders

PS4 Controller
For most of us, February 20th can't come any sooner. It's not too far away yet, but for those that are waiting, here's a small teaser.
Above is a supposed leaked image of the PlayStation 4's controller, shown off by a user at the GameTrailers forums. This is a second, more definitive image of this so called leak, showing a few hardware features that have been rumored to feature on the controller.
It looks as if there is a central touch pad in between the PS Vita-style d-pad and the classic X, O, Triangle, and Square button layout. The sticks are in the same position as previous PlayStation controllers, and the two bumper buttons remain at the back of the controller.

COD 2014
There's little doubt about a new Call of Duty game hitting consoles this year, however right now we are very low on information, and it has created a bit of a buzz through the gaming community.
Of course without an official announcement trailer by a development team right now all we have to go on is ample guesses. Many guesses lead to believe that the game will once again be developed by Infinity Ward, however what the title will consist of is unknown.
The first thing to suggest is that the new game will be Modern Warfare 4, although after a lot of complaints hit the world about milking the series with Modern Warfare 3, Infinity Ward may move onto another title.
The next game may be a recap
