Capcom has revealed this week that their next gen graphically impressive title, Deep Down will be available on the PlayStation 4 as a free to play game.
This information was revealed at this year's Tokyo Game Show and Shuhei Yoshida, Sony Worldwide Studios President, has announced on Twitter that an open beta for the game will be available close to the launch of the console in Japan, which is in February next year.
Yoshida didn't mention whether the beta would be exclusive to Japan, but it sounds as if it will be available worldwide. Deep Down is a next gen action game that produces randomly generated dungeons for players to fight through.
The game is based off of a medieval-like fantasy world where warriors called Ravens travel back to the dark days to fight their way to fortune.
Not much has been given about the game yet and Capcom have barely shown any gameplay content to the public as of this point so it's incredibly difficult to work out

Lords of the Fallen is an RPG that first made it's voice heard at E3. There wasn't really much to look at apart from a teaser trailer, but that then followed with another trailer at Gamescom and it started to look very impressive.
Once again, Lords of the Fallen has managed to impress visitors of PAX with gameplay demos, and I must admit I am definitely looking forward to this game.
The cinematic trailer we've seen shows a character wearing heavy armor as he fights his way to what looks like a very powerful hammer. Later on in the trailer we find out that this very powerful hammer is indeed a very, very powerful hammer. What follows is a very intense battle against what looks like some kind of oversized balrog in a snowy arctic desert.
The game looks to be a very promising RPG title that most likely will take inspiration from games such as the Darksiders series.
The developers have said that they want each fight to feel like a Tekken or Street Fighter battle

Someone made a mistake over at Insomniac Games and accidentally revealed something that probably wasn't meant to be revealed till later this year. A new page was recently uploaded to the website and then removed shortly afterwards showcasing a brand new upcoming Ratchet and Clank game, named Ratchet and Clank: Into the Nexus.
The page showed a few images of the title, as well as a lot of text on the upcoming game. The page went onto listing some of the features of the game, some of which we've come to know and love from Ratchet and Clank games such as upgradeable weapons, travelling between different planets, and a comedic storyline.
The page also said that the game would include more Clank missions where players would take control of Clank and run him through "inter-dimensional challenges where Clank can alter gravity, manipulate objects and solve mind-bending platforming puzzles."
Since this reveal, Sony has made an announcement to let everybody

It's been a while since EPIC Games has shown us something new, and seeing Unreal Tournament and Gears of War coming from them has really made me excited for what the future could hold for this development team.
Two new job openings on EPIC Game's website could be pointing at new IP the development team may be working on.
One job posting for a technical artist states "to work on multiple new and existing IP's across multiple platforms." The job would involve attacking the more complex issues that arise when we push the technology envelope, both in production on current hardware, and prototyping for next-generation hardware."
The second job posting gives away a little bit more information, and is for a systems designer position. The job posting is looking for those that can "work with the tools and technology that are shaping the next generation of games" on "an unannounced competitive online action game that includes player progression, heavy itemization, and a dynamic

Guerrilla Games has recently confirmed that you will be able to customize your own personal weapons in the upcoming Killzone: Shadow Fall.This will mark the reintroduction of weapon attachments to the Killzone series, and players will be able to add custom attachments to weapons like the Helghast StA-55 assault rifle and the StA-52 rifle.
Roy Postma, Killzone: Shadow Fall's art director has said a few things on the subject, and discussed the inclusion of an attachment system.
"It's still the same work horse of the Helghast, doing the same thing: a high fire rate with a big magazine in a nice, compact package. It's the perfect all-round weapon if you don't require high accuracy. So there are no new surprises on the weapon in terms of functionality. The biggest functional change, and one that is not limited to the StA-55, is the reintroduction of attachments. We can switch out various sights and optics, secondary weapon attachments, grips, flashlights, silencers – you

If you're looking forward to Gran Turismo 6, then you should probably go and check out the playable demo that arrived this July 2nd.
On the demo you'll be able to race on the brand new track, Silverstone Circuit, a new previously confirmed location for Gran Turismo 6. This will be the only track available on the demo, and there will be a few different challenges to try on the track. This includes five time trials based around the Silverstone Circuit, which players will be able to attempt with three different vehicles, the Nissan Leaf, the Nissan 370Z and the GT-R.
On top of this, players will be able to try their best on the Silverstone Circuit and then register their best time for the GT Academy Competition, a contest that has been going since 2008 that gives players a chance to race to the top spot and win the chance at being a real Nissan motorsport driver. The cutoff for getting the best time for that ends 28th July but players can still play the

It's always nice to see more PC games cross the bridge to console gaming. And, as announced at E3, World of Tanks will soon be making its way to Xbox 360. The game is currently in a console Beta which will take place on a few different weekends and will be available to those who previously registered their interest in participating in the Beta.
It'd be nice to see how well the game ports over to the console, especially considering World of Tanks on the PC has quite a complex menu system and varying different tank controls in-game. Once World of Tanks is available to play for everybody, the game will be free to play, just like it is on the PC.
Xbox Live Gold members will be able to play it to their heart's content, whilst Silver members will have a 7 day 'trial period.'
World of Tanks features 15 a side tank warfare as each team fights over control of certain strategic points on the map. The game includes a complex tank tier tree branching into various different tank

Grand Theft Auto may be one of the most successful game series of all time, and it seems as each game releases, the games become more and more popular.
This is certainly the case with GTA V. It has now been delayed once, and a lot of gamers are impatiently waiting for release day this September.
In fact, so many people want to get a hold of GTA V that it's predicted to sell faster than games like Black Ops, a game that managed to hit a record by selling 1.4 million units on day one.
Grand Theft Auto V has easily double that score though with a predicted 3 million units sold on day one, completely smashing their previous record of what now seems like a measly 630,000 copies for Grand Theft Auto IV on day one.
Whilst Grand Theft Auto V will do extremely well, it isn't the fastest selling game - FIFA 13 managed to amass a huge 4.5 million sales on day one.
Are you looking forward to Grand Theft Auto V? With so many predicted sales, there's certainly a lot

So far, the Last of Us has looked like a promising game, a very promising game.
Over the past week or two we've had scores coming in from various professional sources, and so far reviews have been stellar.
EDGE Magazine has recently given their score as well, rating Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us a solid 10 out of 10, making it the 15th game to ever be scored a full 10 from EDGE.
OPM UK Magazine also gave Naughty Dog a 10/10 for The Last of Us, stating that the game is "A work of art in which amazing sights and sounds fuel an emotionally draining, constantly compelling end of days adventure. This is Naughty Dog pushing the PS3 to its limit. Over to your PS4."
With Tomb Raider, Bioshock: Infinite and now the Last of Us, it's certainly been a successful year from some of our favorite games and developers, and we can only hope the same will continue through the year till the release of GTA V, a game that is almost guaranteed to score highly in reviews.
