After all of the talk and arguing about whether the two next gen consoles, the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4, will have 1080P support for next gen titles, it's personally left me a bit frustrated with the way 'fanboys' seem to enjoy trash talking their fellow gamers.
This probably leaves Microsoft, Sony and any game developers working on next gen titles wondering what they can do to please the angry crowd of gamers that are slowly piling up outside their front door, and in Infinity Ward's case, it looks like a 1080P compatibility patch for Call of Duty Ghosts on the PlayStation 4.
Straight out of the box, Call of Duty Ghosts will play at 1080P natively in multiplayer mode, but the single player is stuck at 720P. The new patch that's been available for download since day one fixes this and allows players to play single player in 1080P resolution.

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."

It looks as if historical accuracy is something that really matters to Ubisoft, and to show that, they have made a brand new video showing off the various types of in-game weapons you'll be able to get in Assassins' Creed IV: Black Flag.
On top of this, the video gives a quick preview of the port of Genoa, a location that will probably play an important part in the story.
The video includes a rather energetic historical weapons expert discussing the variety of weapons available to the pirates at the time. He makes a mention of guns, knives, swords and even grenades, but also talks about psychological warfare, a method used by pirates to scare and intimidate their enemies into surrender.
The whole concept behind pirates is a scary one, and if you were out at sea, pirates would be the worst thing you could bump into. It will be interesting to see what kind of options we have open to enable us to scare our enemies into submission.
Along with psychological warfare,

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."

In a big open world game that allows players to randomly kill each other at will, there has to be some kind of penalty to killing innocent players to stop the game turning into an endless large scale deathmatch.
Rockstar did something a little different to punish continued random killings in GTA Online, and general jerkiness could end up with some terrible consequences.
The first thing that can happen if you continue to be a jerk by quitting games, killing players and ruining other's experiences on GTA Online is that you'll start to be joined with other jerks just like you. If you keep it up, you'll be stuck playing in the time out corner of GTA Online with all the other naughty criminals who can't refrain from messing with other players.
If you decide to start playing nicely, you'll be freed after two real days, and after that point you'll be initiated back into average people society.
You won't be able to play with your friends after you get the 'bad sport'

Cash on GTA Online is a fine delicacy- If you want to make use of the best features in the game without spending real money on cash cards, there are certain things you can do to squeeze more money out of missions.
Most Money from Holding up a Store
The higher your rank, the more opportunities there will be to get a lot of money in GTA Online, but at a low rank, holding up a store is probably the best way to make money.
However, instead of forcing the cashier to hand you the money, shoot him in the head, and take the money from the till yourself by pressing right on the D-pad at the till. You will usually get more money for doing this and you don't have to risk getting shot by the shop owner.
From here you can open up your phone, deposit money into your bank through the maze bank website and step outside and get killed by the cops. Because you are still a low level, you'll only lose a portion of what you just stole on hospital bills. You can do

If you're looking to stream, record or capture your gameplay from the PlayStation 4, you will be happy to know that it'll be easier than ever on the PlayStation 4.
Previous concerns over whether you'd be able to use third party game capture equipment on the PlayStation 4 has been met with a positive answer from Sony, who have said third party game capture equipment will be possible through the HDMI out port on the console.
Sony has already included built-in capturing software on the PlayStation 4, but restrictions such as footage length make it inconvenient for people who regularly record and upload videos to the internet.
The PlayStation 4 will also be completely capable of streaming directly to Ustream and Twitch via software on the console, making streaming super easy to do without the need of third party equipment or a PC running in the background.
Streaming, recording and uploading your gameplay will be the easiest it has ever been on

Valve has been very busy this week revealing SteamOS, a Linux based operating system. Then Steam Machines being manufactured by PC companies and finally, earlier today, have unveiled their Steam Controller.
The controller is designed to work on computers for Steam games. Check out the official Steam Controller below:
Of course we wouldn't be Evil if we weren't already brainstorming features and customization options for Custom Steam Controllers until the official release of Valve's hardware. If our fans are interested we'd love to modify and customize Steam Controllers.
