So although we may not be hearing news of a new God of War next gen game just yet, Sony Santa Monica has shown a teaser of something new for the God of War franchise. Sony Santa Monica took to Twitter to post an Instagram teaser video of something that looked like a new addition to God of War: Ascension.

The link has now been removed for some reason, but the video did show some footage of God of War that hinted at some kind of 'arena mode.'

Sony Santa Monica followed with another Instagram teaser video, but once again the video has been removed.

If I could make an educated guess, I'd say the new teaser will be released within the next month and will be a new DLC add-on to God of War: Ascension that will add some kind of combat based multiplayer battle arena. I could be wrong, but that is certainly what the videos seemed to show.

For now we'll just have to wait to see just exactly what will happen, but a new God of War game reveal is certainly off the 2013 radar

The Witcher series has always been one renowned for it's graphical fidelity, but the problem here is that as a console owner you're going to get the kind of people that like to boast about how amazing their PC version is when it comes to graphics.

It's true that there is a ton more power in gaming PCs than there is in the Xbox 360 and PS3, but Witcher devs believe they'll be able to do something special with next generation consoles.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be very impressive on both the PS4 and the Xbox One if the Polish developers are to be trusted. Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, the game director of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has said, "We're creating a really big game for three major platforms at the same time - if something's a challenge it's that. Additionally, developing on next-gen consoles is always a process to look forward to - working to get the max out of the hardware and thinking how one can creatively use the technology is always a blast."

Perhaps those with

Avalanche Studios, the same development team behind the Just Cause games, have posted screen shots leading up to their reveal trailer release. The trailer was released on Sunday and shows almost 2 minutes of a narrated dramatic video that shows one man walking through the barren wasteland desert.

The video also went on to showing some vehicle footage, combat footage, and then at the end exploding into a action filled environment that we've come to expect from Avalanche Studios.

Mad Max is set to be an open world action game set in post apocalyptic Australia and will be released in 2014 and will be playable on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC and next gen PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Avalanche studios has also released the two screen shots used to build hype up to reveal trailer as high resolution images.

To make development easier, Rockstar has split itself into a few different development teams. For example, Rockstar North is currently developing Grand Theft Auto 5, but another team, Rockstar Toronto are one of the development teams behind the Max Payne series, and it looks like they will be the team behind an upcoming next gen game too.

It was previously revealed that Rockstar San Diego, the devs behind Red Dead Redemption, are also making an open world game for next generation consoles, but Rockstar Toronto has posted up a job listing hiring those that are capable of developing for a "Large Scale" title.

More digging around the job postings has revealed that the game is for both Xbox and Sony consoles, although a definite next-gen release hasn't been confirmed anywhere in the text. It's also apparent that the game is currently untitled, meaning that it's very unlikely that Rockstar Toronto are working on an open world Max Payne game.

Seeing as Max Payne is usually

Rockstar's new trailer certainly has created a buzz this week, and it seems that even gaming industry legends like Hideo Kojima feel the need to comment on the amazing new Grand Theft Auto 5 gameplay shown off.

Hideo Kojima, lead producer, game designer and director of the Metal Gear Solid video game series has taken to Twitter to express his awe for the brand new Grand Theft Auto 5 trailer.

Hideo Kojima said in two tweets that "GTA V" new trailer was awesome! This free control is future of the game, way higher than anywhere, makes me depress as matter fact. "I don't think our "V" can reach that level. Rockstar's team are the best. W/o question they will pull up the possibility of game."

Kojima has already previously been seen praising other Rockstar games like Red Dead Redemption, but he is certainly very impressed with what the Rockstar crew have managed to pull off this time round. Both Metal Gear Solid V and Grand Theft Auto V look to be some of the best games this

I was pleasantly surprised as I watched the new Assassins' Creed: Black Flag gameplay video. The video features 7 minutes of gameplay footage as a narrator explains to the viewer what there is to be done in the new upcoming Assassins' Creed.

Personally I've been getting quite bored of the franchise, and when Ubisoft announced that they had plans to release a new AC game yearly, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. AC began as a series that was new and refreshing, but we saw that trying to reuse the same gameplay mechanics again and again just didn't work, even if the stories were quite compelling.

I was quite happy to see that the new Black Flag game actually looked quite good in this new gameplay video.

The gameplay shows off plenty of features involved with the high seas. We already know that the new game is pirate themed, but you may be surprised to see just how much of the game actually involves pirate shenanigans. In AC4: Black Flag, players will have their own

Whilst Sony has promised that they will reveal the release date for the PlayStation 4 at this year's Gamescom, it looks as if we may not need to wait to find out from Sony themselves.

We'll probably see all kind of leaks and screw-ups from various retailers across the board before Gamescom, and Wal-Mart have already done just that.

On the PlayStation 4 pre-order page in the item description section it says that "The PS4 console will ship free on release date this November."

Another date on the same page says that the console will ship by 12/31/2012, but it's most likely this second date is simply a placeholder.

It looks as if a November release sounds likely - this allows for customers to purchase the consoles in time for Christmas, but just in time for Black Friday.

Many gamers have talked on different forums and blogs and a lot of them have the feeling that the console won't even make it to shelves by release because of such a high demand for the console.

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

After hearing about the specifics on hardware for the next gen consoles, and learning that the PlayStation 4 has a very promising 8GB of GDDR5 RAM, many have discussed whether games on the PlayStation 4 will have differences to their Xbox One counterparts.

One game that has been involved hotly in this topic is Watch_Dogs, a new open-world game by Ubisoft that looks absolutely incredible.

Ubisoft have addressed many gamer's curiosities this week though, stating that "The Xbox One is a powerful platform, as of now we do not foresee a major difference in on screen result between the PS4 and the Xbox One. Obviously we are still working on pushing the game on these new consoles, we are still doing R&D."

"This said, the platforms have some specificity that we are leveraging. For example, we are making use of the touchpad on the DualShock 4."

The developers behind Watch_Dogs seem to be very

You may be wondering just what kind of accessories you may get when purchasing the new PlayStation 4. We already know that the Xbox One won't have an included headset, but whilst we were pretty sure the PlayStation 4 will, there's still no hard evidence on what we'll actually receive in the box.

Luckily, a rumor has spread showing just exactly what will be within the PlayStation launch bundle, and whilst it hasn't been officially confirmed, it certainly looks like the real deal.

The photo (shown above) manages to include the PS4 console, a dualshock 4 controller, a power cable, an HDMI lead, a USB charging cable, and of course the headset and instruction leaflet.

The headset is just a small in-ear headset that looks and feels a lot like the kind you'd get with a mobile phone- so whilst Sony did include a headset, I wouldn't blame you if you decided to buy a more comfortable headset instead.

The headset does seem to be
