It seems that developers can't keep away from the lure of bringing their last gen games to the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One, and seeing as the new version of GTA V managed to bring in over 3 million sales on it's first week, there is no blaming them.
One such developer that has been rumored to join the next gen remake game is From Software, the guys behind the disgustingly challenging Dark Souls 2.
Whilst they already have plans to bring Bloodborne to the PS4, which will be a completely new game for new gen consoles, From Software have also been working on a new remake for PS4 and Xbox One, according to Namco Bandai, From Software's publishers.
The new remake edition will be called Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin, and it will come with the full game and the three previously released DLC packs. Whilst the exciting part of this news is based on the fact that the game will come to Xbox One and PS4, the new remake will also make it to PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Thinking about splashing out some cash this Black Friday? If you are, you may want to keep your eye out on a brand new PlayStation 4 bundle that is currently being developed by Sony specifically for Black Friday.
Whilst it hasn't been confirmed by Sony yet, rumors suggest that the brand new PlayStation 4 bundle may be the biggest one yet, and it will include a range of different bundled additions on top of the console and single DualShock 4 controller that comes with the standard SKU.
According to the rumors, the Sony Black Friday bundle will come with three first party titles and the standard 500GB console and single DualShock 4 controller. The kicker here is that the price is expected to be "very competitive" compared to buying the console and three games separately.
On Black Friday, the bundle is undoubtedly expected to be available for cheap, but it will be interesting to if and what Sony will offer for it after Black Friday is up.
As for the three first

It looks as if Sony really have their game on - as well as agreeing to only provide AAA or high quality indie titles for the free PS Plus lineup going forward, they have now revealed their free games for November, and so far there's a lot up for grabs.
The first game announced for the PS Plus games for November was The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. Whilst the original Binding of Isaac has been out for a long time, the Rebirth version has only just dropped, so being able to pick up for free, practically on launch day, is a pretty big deal.
For those unaware, The Binding of Isaac is a loot-filled rogue-like RPG arcade game - it can be picked up for free on both PS4 and PS Vita this month.
The next free title this month is Escape Plan, a fun arcade game that whilst looking amazing on the big screen, was lacking a little gameplay wise.
Finally, SteamWorld Dig has been put up for free for both PS Vita and PS4. along with The Hungry Horde, a brand new PS Vita arcade indie

Although Call of Duty Advanced Warfare is just around the corner, COD developers Infinity Ward and Treyarch have put up a brand new promotion for both of their latest games, Call of Duty Ghosts and Call of Duty Black Ops 2.
If you play either of these games, you may want to start playing before Halloween as both of these games will be receiving double XP, starting from now, all the way up til the end of Halloween.
For COD fans, I think this would be the perfect sprint towards the release of Advanced Warfare, which is set to land on the first week of November.
The double XP promotion will double all experience earned from all game modes within the game, so if you want to finish up your prestiging or need to get some more squad points, we would definitely suggest you to consider playing this week.
When Advanced Warfare launches, there will also be a short early access double XP period that will allow players to gain XP a day before the full launch date.

To celebrate the release of Destiny, most of Europe and the UK received a brand new PS4 bundle that included a copy of Destiny and a white PlayStation 4, along with a DualShock 4 controller.
Now that the release of Destiny has long since gone, the white PS4 bundles have slowly died out, but Sony have seen demand for the product and have decided to make plans to release the white variant of the console as a standalone device.
Shuhei Yoshida has revealed that the white PlayStation 4 will be released as a standalone product very soon, but unfortunately the console will be limited to Europe for now. As with the Destiny bundle, Yoshida failed to mention anything about a North American release for the white version.
The white standalone PlayStation 4 will cost £350, which is slightly more than the current £329 street price of the PS4. Of course, if you're in the US and you really want a white PS4, you might have to pay considerably more to get it shipped over here.

We've talked a little bit in the past about large game install sizes, but today we have some crazy news to share with you. It has been rumored that Grand Theft Auto V for the PlayStation 4 could take exactly 50GB of storage space from your beloved PS4's hard drive.
That is a huge 10% of the default hard drive that comes with the PS4, and that is only for one game - this does not include any content patches or DLC that Rockstar may plan to release in the future.
50GB may not seem like much, but it's starting to reach the point where many games require between 30GB and 50GB free for install space, and over the next few years that size may keep going up.
For those with slow connections, this is a very large issue, and it makes paying for digital games almost impossible. It's great to see that Sony and Microsoft are now offering digital downloads for their games, but it is not a very viable option, considering that it would only take around 10 games to fill up an entire

Naughty Dog has just revealed a brand new screenshot which showcases Nathan Drake in their latest work-in-progress game, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.
The new screenshot, which can be seen above, shows off a 3D render of the new Nathan Drake model, which Naughty Dog have been using in Uncharted 4. As you can see, the detail on Nathan is undeniably impressive. From the pores and wrinkles on his head, to the creases on his shirt, this picture shows that Uncharted 4 really is going to look amazing.
Naughty Dog recently addressed the public's voice and confirmed that the incredibly detailed E3 reveal trailer for Uncharted 4 earlier this year was in fact within the in-game engine, suggesting that the game is more than capable of rendering such high definition graphics.
The new image showcasing the Nathan Drake model has been used to promote a new 3D modelling event that is being hosted by a range of developers. The event will include a variety of different shows, including

The Ratchet and Clank franchise has been one that many Sony fans have loved ever since the PlayStation 2, and with recent news of a Ratchet and Clank animated movie, hype for the series has never been so high.
If you're a fan of Ratchet and Clank, then you'll probably be very excited to hear that it has been rumored that a Ratchet and Clank remake has been rumored to be in the works.
The new game, which will be a remake of the original game for the PlayStation 2, is rumored to be releasing alongside the same time as the movie launch, and it will be made available for the PlayStation 4.
As expected, the new remake is rumored to come with a new graphical overhaul, and some have even suggested that the game may end up looking very similar to the graphics seen in the Ratchet and Clank movie.
Whilst nothing has yet been officially confirmed, reports suggest that the new Ratchet and Clank remake will be revealed on a special PlayStation game event, which has been set

Whilst Tom Clancy's The Division has been known as an 'MMO FPS' for some time, new details have emerged that suggest the game will take a similar approach to Destiny when it comes to multiplayer content. In a new Gamespot preview, it was revealed how players would be locked in to their own world, apart from other players in many cases, however there would be certain areas, named Dark Zones, which would allow players to interact with each other.
In the Dark Zones, players could choose to attack or avoid other players in the same area, however once out of a dark zone, you will not come across other players in the same fashion.
It seems as if the multiplayer and social aspects of the Division have been made to a point where players can enjoy the campaign and mission aspects of the game without being interrupted by a bad player.
However, there will be opportunities for players to interact with each other, which opens up an almost living feeling to the open world. It's an
