Telltale Games have managed to be incredibly successful with their story-driven The Walking Dead game series, and it looks like it's been so successful that the development team are already working on a third season for the project.
Revealed this week via the developer's official Twitter page, Telltale Games announced that there was going to be a third season to their The Walking Dead video game series, and a few details about their development were shared at Comic-Con in San Diego.
Unfortunately, the developers really didn't go into much detail other than confirming that they are planning to work on a third season for the Walking Dead, however the release date, and the date they start actively developing the game aren't known.
Telltale Games are currently already piled in with work from The Wolf Among Us, The fifth episode of The Walking Dead in Season 2, and Tales of The Borderlands, so it may be a while before we finally see progress on the third The Walking Dead

Back when the PlayStation 3 was first released, many believed that Sony were never going to catch up to the amount of units the Xbox 360 was selling. However, with the help of a new slimline variant of the PS3 with larger storage space and a cheaper price point, Sony managed to claw it's way to a position that put it neck and neck with Microsoft's Xbox 360.
This time round, Sony have gained the clear sales advantage over Microsoft and the Xbox One, but just like before, anything could happen to give the losing console the chance to wing it into first place.
If the Xbox One manages to get a price drop and a selection of strong console exclusives, sales for the console could easily start to catch up with that of the PlayStation 4, and if that happens, Sony are reportedly prepared to drop out a new PlayStation 4 slim variant, which like the PS3 slim, will most likely come with a slim line frame, a cheaper price point and a larger hard drive.
It's likely a 'slim' version

A little while back Cliff Bleszinski announced plans to retire from video game development for good, but it seems he just couldn't keep away from the video game industry as he's already back at it with plans to make more video games again.
Despite his supposed video game retirement, it's been clear for a while that Cliffy B has been working on some kind of video game project, and it looks like he plans to reveal it to the world pretty soon.
On Bleszinski's twitter, he wrote, "I'm officially coming out of retirement to make video games again. Stay tuned here for details in the next 7 days!"
Whilst his previous work has been alongside AAA studios responsible for franchises like Gears of War and Unreal Tournament, it sounds likely that Cliffy B's next project will be something completely different.
Cliff Bleszinski has already revealed a few different concept art images for a game that he has codenamed Silverstreak, so perhaps we'll hear more about this title within

Despite The Last of Us Remastered being a port of a PlayStation 3 title, it seems Sony really want to push for as many sales as possible for the upcoming HD PlayStation exclusive, and their next move to suggest this comes in the form of a brand new PlayStation 4 bundle.
The new PlayStation 4 bundle comes with a console, a DualShock 4 controller, and a copy of The Last of Us Remastered. The bundle was first leaked on Amazon a few days ago, but it has since been made official by Sony.
The brand new bundle has been set for a $429.99 price tag, which should be in-line with other similar PlayStation 4 bundles currently available. So far no details have been given on a North American or UK price tag or release, but it's likely this bundle will be made available in most regions.
The new bundle can already be pre-ordered now. The release date for the bundle is quite unclear, although some retailers have suggested an August 1st, 2014 date, which would make sense considering

I've personally never really owned any Game of the Year edition games, but they are typically released at a cheaper price to their original counterparts, and are a great alternative for anybody looking to buy new games at a discounted price. Microsoft have released Xbox 360 GoTY titles for years, but it's now been revealed that they plan to release a bunch of Game of The Year first party games for the Xbox One this year too, to help bulk up the current game portfolio.
It has been confirmed that the new Game of the Year edition titles will come at a cheaper price than the original versions, however the price has not yet been revealed. Interestingly, gamers may be able to pick up a new Xbox One SKU that bundles together a bunch of different GoTY titles at a reduced price.
Microsoft are still waiting to see how many third party publishers are interested in re-releasing their Xbox One games into the Game of the Year title list, but it's possible games like Assassin's Creed Black

It seems a lot of developers are currently very happy to team up with Sony to offer various PlayStation 4 exclusives, including Bungie, the creators of Destiny, and now it even looks like Rockstar may be doing the same.
Whilst the details are unclear, PlayStation's North American marketing vice president, John Koller. revealed to Kotaku that there would be some sort of PlayStation 4 exclusive GTA V content or 'perk' that no other platform would receive. When asked by Kotaku about PS4 exclusive content, Koller replied with "I don't think we announced anything publicly on that, but there will be." This is a pretty detail-void response, but it does tell us that something will be different about the PS4 GTA V experience.
As far as Koller is concerned, Grand Theft Auto has also been a PlayStation based franchise, and Sony's relationship with Rockstar has always been strong. Whether or not we'll see some kind of content in-game exclusive to the PlayStation 4 is unclear at this point,

Despite Destiny being prepared for an Xbox launch alongside the PlayStation version, Bungie and Sony have been getting along quite nicely, and PlayStation owners will be able to benefit from Bungie and Sony's new found relationship.
According to a few product listings for Destiny on various retailer websites, including Amazon, the PlayStation 3 and 4 versions of Destiny will receive content that could remain exclusive to Sony until Fall 2015, a whole year after the game's release date.
Destiny on the PlayStation will receive a bunch of exclusive gear, including a Monte Carlo assault rifle, a bunch of different ships, the Hawkmoon hand cannon, and a set of apparel for each of the three classes in the game.
The PS4 and PS3 versions of Destiny will also get an exclusive co-op mission and multiplayer competitive map. All of this content will apparently be made available as a DLC pack, and according to Amazon, it will remain exclusive to Destiny till Fall 2015.

When Respawn Entertainment announced that they plan to add regular new content for Titanfall free of charge over the next year, they certainly weren't lying. At E3, players got a glimpse of what Respawn has plans for in the future, which included a variety of new game modes which are planned to be released later this month.
The new June update will add a few new game modes, as well as a bunch of new burn cards, and even some new customization options.
There will be a range of new burn cards for use in titan gameplay now, instead of just on foot, and players will be able to customize their titans by picking between three different titan voices, as well as unlocking and applying in-game decals.
As for the new game modes, the first game has been named Marked for Death - this game will be a 6V6 VIP style experience that puts one player on each team as the 'marked man.' Only killing the marked man will get game points, and after the marked man is dead, a new player on the

Battlefield Hardline has now been confirmed to be the new upcoming Battlefield title, and despite not hearing much about the game until very recently, the new Battlefield game has been planned for release some time this year.
Battlefield Hardline has said to be a take on the criminal heist gameplay we've seen in many games recently, including titles like Payday 2 and Grand Theft Auto V. The single player in Hardline will offer a cinematic approach to gameplay content, and each campaign mission supposedly ends on a cliffhanger to keep players interested in playing the next mission, similarly to episodes in a TV series.
Battlefield Hardline will of course also come with a great selection of multiplayer content, and players will be able to play new modes, including Hostage Rescue mode that gets one team playing as SWAT who are required to rescue a hostage, and the other team playing as the hostage's captors.
Another interesting game mode is Heist, which will give criminals

Remedy Entertainment has been working quietly on their upcoming third person FPS title, Quantum Break for quite some time now, but they have finally spoken up to reveal that they plan to release their new game in 2015.
Whilst they didn't announce any plans for E3, Remedy Entertainment did state that they were excited to announce a live demo of gameplay in Gamesom this August. Remedy Entertainment went onto say "Quantum Break will deliver an unprecedented fusion of cinematic gameplay and high-quality, live-action storytelling."
Similar to Defiance, a previously released MMO title, Quantum Break will have a TV series shipped alongside the release of the game, and the fate of the show will be determined by player's actions in the game. Players will also be able to pick up tips and gameplay information for Quantum Break whilst watching the TV series.
This is certainly an interesting merge of two mediums, and whilst Defiance didn't truly define it's capabilities, Quantum
