If Fallout 4 doesn't ever make it to reality, I think we are all going to be severely disappointed. The game's series really took a great turn with Fallout 3, and since then I've always considered Bethesda one of the greatest games developers of all time, simply for the fact that they are always ambitious when tackling huge tasks like Fallout or the Elder Scrolls.
We've all been anxiously awaiting a confirmation from Bethesda about Fallout 4 - A simple yes or no at this point would be nice, but since we haven't had that yet, we've resorted to scouring the internet for anything that could resemble a confirmation that Fallout 4 is actually coming.
A new result of such internet scouring has led to the discovery of the website - thesurvivor2299.com
The website contains morse code, cryptic text and a countdown. Unfortunately there's no confirmation on whether this is actually from Bethesda or from a Fallout fan with a little too

Before the release of the PlayStation 4, The Order 1866 was one of the games that was unveiled, along with a bunch of launch window titles. However, a proper release date for the game hasn't been given, and we're still unsure when we'll actually get to play the game.
A new conversation on twitter between Sony Santa Monica Director TD Moss, and the founder of Ready at Dawn Studios, Andrea Pessino, seems to suggest that The Order 1866 will be ready and released in Fall 2014.
In a line of tweets and replies, TD Moss said "looking forward to what you make it do next fall! No pressure ;-P," to which Andrea Pessino replied "yeah, me too! ;)"
On their own, even the exchange of winking faces seems to suggest that these two know something that the rest of don't, so it's likely that even though it hasn't been made official yet, The Order 1866 development

Although the launch of Gran Turismo 6 won't even hit till the very end of 2013, the 7th game in the franchise may arrive in 2014, which is a very unusual schedule for Polyphony Digital.
Talking to Top Gear, Polyphony Digital's CEO Kazunori Yamauchi has revealed that the they would like to get Grand Turismo 7 out as soon as possible. Although Top Gear made an article with the title "Grand Turismo 7 is Coming in 2014" the truth of the matter is slightly different.
Kazunori said "We don't want to take too long on Gran Turismo 7. Best-case scenario? Next year. In GT6 we really had to tune the software 100 per cent to maximize the PS3's architecture, but of course the PS4's hardware is much better, so I think the overall quality of the game across the board will be boosted when you come to play it".
This does mean that if everything goes to plan, Gran Turismo 7 could be available for the

If you haven't yet got your hands on any of the great new Batman Arkham games, you may want to wait a tiny bit longer before splashing out on either of the three games in the series.
The reason for that is Interactive entertainment and DC entertainment have just announced a brand new collector's edition that packages all three of the Batman Arkham games into a bundled trilogy. The collector's edition will include digital copies of the first two games, Batman: Arkham City and Batman: Arkham Asylum, and a disc based copy of the latest game, Batman: Arkham Origins.
The new Batman: Arkham Collection Edition will be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, and will be released in the UK on November 22nd. The release date for other regions has not yet been announced, but it's unlikely to be far away from other releases.
The bundle copy will be able to be picked up for £59.99 ($37) on consoles and £49.99 ($31) on PC, and will include the extra content that has been released

Despite Beyond: Two Souls lacking much actual gameplay, it is a fun game that has been tied into a deeply immersive story. It's an interesting way to create an interactive experience, but from day one, the developers' goals for the game were always clear.
Ryse: Son of Rome on the other hand looks like an enjoyable, brutal game that could take us and our controller as close to living inside of 300 or Gladiator as possible.
Unfortunately though, if recent reviews are anything to go by, Ryse: Son of Rome’s actual gameplay might be just a little underwhelming.
Crytek have been pretty well known for making amazing visual experiences, but under delivering on the actual gameplay

Along with Halo, Gears of War is one of the most popular Xbox exclusive franchises that help to paint a picture of the Xbox gaming experience for most gamers, and Microsoft seem to like the idea of having the Gears of War franchise continue on the Xbox One.
In September, Microsoft Game Studios Vice President Phil Spencer was asked whether Gears of War would make a return on the Xbox One. His answer was a short, "Ask Epic."
Phil has since been interviewed by IGN, and he has delved deeper into the possibilities of a Gears of War game on the Xbox One.
Phil said, "I want to find a great Gears game, and I thought we did a good job with Judgment but I don't think it hit the level of quality we saw in the previous games."
He continued by saying "I think review scores showed that, sales showed that, and I really think that we need to take a step back with Epic and think about - I don't want to

We're now all pretty clear about what games to expect for the PlayStation 4 upon its launch later this month, however we haven't heard much information about any video games that will be released after the launch window period.
If you're dying of curiosity and can't fathom waiting for more information on upcoming releases, Spike TV has come to your rescue.
American gaming TV personality Geoff Keighley will be hosting yet another Spike TV event this year, and it will be streamed online on November 14th for everybody to watch.
Geoff Keighley took to twitter to make the announcement with a tweet saying "Get ready for an epic night of @PlayStation world premieres and announcements. #PS4ALLACCESS, Live from NYC in 2 weeks, 11/14, 11PM on Spike."
He was then asked by a follower whether the PS4 All Access event would showcase new games for the next gen Sony console, to which he simply replied "Definitely."

After an increasing number of reports about save game bugs and issues, Warner Bros. has made an official statement giving information on a variety of Batman: Arkham Origins problems that they are aware of.
In the official statement, Warner Bros. has listed all of the bugs and issues, however they have not yet made a fix for "rare" corrupted save problems, and it's unlikely that those who have encountered this bug will be able to get their saved content back.
"We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and thank you all for your patience as we work to resolve the issues," Warner Bros. said in its statement.
The list of bugs includes both small issues like occasional crashing and freezing and more serious game breaking problems like corrupted save files and bugs that stop players from being able to access and play the story mode.
Although Warner Bros. haven't released any information on how to avoid these bugs from happening, they have mentioned a few

Despite previous gameplay trailers and footage of Ryse: Son of Rome focusing on the brutal combat found within the game, there is a story within the world of Ryse, and a newly released gameplay trailer gives an insight into the storyline of Ryse: Son of Rome.
Although Crytek, the development team behind Ryse: Son of Rome, are best known for their beautiful video games graphics, Ryse manages to capture our imagination through both great visuals and good gameplay, and hopefully a good story too.
Rome: Son of Ryse's story mode would be better described as a cinematic action title- it has cut scenes relating to the story within the game, a fairly easy control system that is easy to get to grips with, and if one wants it, a very minimal user interface on top of it all.
The story focuses around the Roman solider, Marius Titus. After a return back home, he finds his family has been brutally murdered, and then sets off to find the most loyal soldiers to fight with him along

All of the hype that has gone towards Battlefield 4 has gone straight towards the online multiplayer portion of the game, and whilst there will be a story driven campaign as always, all eyes are on online.
DICE seem to understand that because they have put a lot of effort into making sure the Battlefield online multiplayer experience is better than any other previous game in the series. In fact, DICE are calling the online multiplayer on Battlefield their "deepest online career ever."
So, what gives DICE such a strong pride towards their online multiplayer on Battlefield 4? Apart from the all new customizable weapons system, weapon and vehicle camo's, and the brand new progression system, there is actually quite a lot to be proud of.
"While sharing similar basics with Battlefield 3, we are now offering a cleaner upgrade path, clearer Ribbon and Medal progression, and an increased focus on richly rewarding great team play."
