Two games have been confirmed for the next PS Plus free games lineup, and the rest of the games will be revealed next week.
Sony has been running the free PS Plus games promotion for a long time now, and there's always something to look forward to at the start of each month if you're a paying PS Plus subscriber. This month, the two games we know that are definitely coming to the platform are Woah Dave! and Dishonored.
Woah Dave! is an arcade style platform puzzle game developed by Choice Provisions. Woah Dave! takes players on a galactic journey through space as the main protagonist, Dave, fights against aliens and other strange space oddities. Whilst Woah Dave! will be free at the beginning of April, Sony have mentioned that this game does not count towards the official free PS Plus game lineup.
The other game, which most likely will be one of the six free PS Plus games in April is Dishonored, and this is a stealth action game by Bethesda that was released in 2012.

It's always great to see developers pushing out free content on top of the paid-for DLC that seems to come with every AAA game these days. Fortunately, Project Cars developer Slightly Mad is planning to release some free content each month to say thanks to any loyal long term players.
Even though Project Cars been delayed numerous times, the game is finally nearing release, and once it does launch, players will be able to pick up some free cars each month. There will also be some free content available at the launch of Project Cars as compensation for the extended delays.
The first free car will be released in May and it will be the Lykan Hypersport, a vehicle that has actually been featured in Furious 7. Details for other free cars have not yet been revealed, but we'll probably hear more from Slightly Mad once Project Cars has released.
Below, the statement from Slightly Mad regarding the free content can be read.
"We are immensely pleased to have this awesome

Ever been frustrated by a player quitting on you in an online match on Tekken, Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter? I know I have, and it seems quite common for players to disconnect just before you pull in a victory.
Fortunately, NetherRealm have implemented a new finishing move to Mortal Kombat X that should put disconnectors and rage quitters to shame. In Mortal Kombat X, any plays that purposely disconnect from a game will have their heads implode (in-game of course.) and the opposing player's character will stand there, with a slight smirk on his face.
The whole procedure has been called a Quitality, and it will happen every time a player quits in the middle of a fight. The win will go straight to the player who remained in the game, whilst the disconnected player will be given a loss.
Whilst it's not clear, I'm expecting that the Quitality will happen even if a player's internet goes down, or they get disconnected for a reason out of their control. There's no details

I was pretty excited for Uncharted 4. I still am, but now I've had to prolong my excitement just a little bit because the game has now been delayed. Naughty Dog have revealed that the new Uncharted game still needs more time, and they have delayed the launch window to Spring 2016.
Considering the game was originally planned to release at some point near the end of 2015, the extra few months of waiting really isn’t that much of a big deal. This extra time will also allow Naughty Dog to make Uncharted 4 as best they possibly can.
"After spending so many years with Nathan Drake, he means a lot to the team, and telling the climactic chapter of his adventures is a task we don't take lightly - this game deserves every bit of the attention to detail, precise pacing, and nuanced storytelling Naughty Dog is known for," Naughty Dog director, Neil Druckmann said in a new update.
"We've made the difficult choice of pushing the game's release date. Giving us a few extra months will -

As you probably are aware, heists have finally been released for GTA Online. In the latest update, heists were added, as well as a few other details.
The most obvious and exciting part of the heists update is of course the heists. There are a total of five different heists in online, although the first one is a basic tutorial heist, explaining the basics for a team of two players.
The next four heists are full scale missions that can be completed with you and three of your friends. There are different difficulty modes to make the heists more challenging, and various monetary rewards in the millions for completing all of the heists with the same team members.
It's not just the heists in the new update though. Whilst Rockstar have not yet released any patch notes for it, the new update has a few other small things worth mentioning. Firstly, players can now choose to paint all of the rims in the chrome color, instead of using the single chrome plated rim.

According to new rumors, we can expect to see a very large new firmware update for the PlayStation 4 in March that will bring a range of new features to the system. The main source of these rumors comes from industry insider, Tidux, who has been well known to get his rumors right.
According to Tidux, the new firmware update will hit at the end of March, on or around the 29th of the month. Unfortunately, Tidux did not mention what new features will be released, other than "big features" are coming.
It is a shame Tidux could not go into more detail, so we can only speculate about what features could be released at the end of this month. There are still many features that are missing from the PlayStation 4 that could be added, and there are probably many more that Sony want to add that we've never heard of as well.
Some believe the new update could include the suspend/resume feature that was previously announced to release to combat the lack of DLNA on the PlayStation

Even though Battlefield Hardline is just around the corner, Dice do not want players to feel the need to jump ship every time there is a new Battlefield game at your local Gamestop. In fact, new details reveal Dice's plan to keep Battlefield 4 going strong throughout 2015, and perhaps even further than that.
Dice already announced that additional content was planned for Battlefield 4 passed the pre-planned DLC packs, and this week we've received more information about what this new content will include.
The most expensive thing to come out of the new update is that Battlefield 4 players will be treated to two new expansions, hopefully planned for this year. To make things better, most, if not all of the new content pushed out this year should be available for no charge, even for those that have not spent a penny past the original cost of the game.
Part of the reason why the new content may be free might come down to a new initiative that Dice will be opening up to their

The next Batman game is called Batman: Arkham Knight, and it is currently looking very, very, interesting. Whilst Warner Bros didn't do such a good job with Batman Arkham Origins, Rocksteady games are looking to redeem the series.
They did a great job with the previous Batman games, so I'm pretty sure they are going to go out with a bang with Batman: Arkham Knight, or at least that's what I am hoping.
So far, we know that Batman Arkham Knight will feature Scarecrow. A cinematic trailer was released earlier this year that showed off the Batman fighting crime in Gotham City. In the trailer, Scarecrow threatened to cover the city in his infamous fear toxin. As a result, the city gets abandoned, and it's left for the baddies to patrol.
Batman Arkham Knight may be the most open world game yet, and will feature a large variety of different Batman villains, although the main focus will be on Scarecrow this time round.
