Out of nowhere, CD Projekt Red started broadcasting a strange cryptic video on YouTube and Twitch.
After many hours, the live broadcast switched up and a full gameplay video for Cyberpunk 2077 was showcased.
Whilst not many actual gameplay elements were shown, we got introduced to the world of Cyberpunk 2077, we were shown some gameplay and RPG elements.
More importantly, all 48 minutes of the gameplay video was shot in the game. No additional rendering or cutscenes were added.
In the beginning, the gameplay video showcased the player creation screen. Players will have many options at their disposal to adjust their character. They can change their appearance, their starting traits, and their gender.
The gameplay video also showcased how story-rich Cyberpunk 2077

Players of the original Destiny won't be getting much when transitioning to Destiny 2, but there are a number of freebies up for grabs to those that did spend time in the first game of the franchise.
Bungie published a new blog post to explain their plans for veteran Destiny players, starting by saying, "Even before our old friend Cayde revealed that your stuff (but, more importantly, his stuff) would soon fall prey to the Red Legion, we let you know that we were going to honor our veteran players who join us again in Destiny 2. Today, we're going to shine a little light on what you can expect if you count yourself among those ranks."
Bungie was hesitant to go into too many details - it seems that they've carefully planned out rewards for returning players, but they do not want to spoil the fun. Bungie did, however, mention that there will be a number of ways players will be able to showcase their early support for the Destiny franchise.
Firstly, Bungie announced a

We've been doing modded controllers for years - we've provided gamers the tools they have needed to take their game to the next level. We've completely nailed the modded controller market.
Recently, there has been a surge in interest for pro controllers - this is a relatively new space in the controller market and we think it deserves our name on it.
INTRODUCING THE EVIL SHIFT...
This new controller has been built from the ground up to compete in the pro controller space amongst giants like the Xbox One Elite.
The Evil Shift is currently in production for both the PS4 and Xbox One and will be made available this summer.
We've modded the Evil Shift controllers to their fullest potential, making sure not to cross any lines that would disqualify the controller from any official esports events.
This means we've got highly accurate interchangeable Evil Thumbsticks - these bad boys have more surface area, better grip, and can be swapped in and out on

In the gaming world, two new types of controllers have started to emerge. Besides the standard official controllers, we now have modded controllers and pro controllers.
Understanding the differences between each of these controllers is sometimes hard, but the differences are important to understand. Whilst both modded controllers and pro controllers may share similar qualities, modded controllers can often include features that would disqualify players from professional events. Pro controllers, on the other hand, have advantages, but they’re perfectly fine to use in professional events, LANs and esports tournaments.
Programmable buttons and macros
Pro controllers can have additional buttons and button mapping, but they can’t give players any abilities that wouldn’t be available to a player with a standard controller. As soon as buttons become programmable, it’s considered a modded controller.
By programmable, we’re talking about macros and combos. If you can

The industry for pro controllers is growing at a tremendous pace, and it’s no surprise when you consider how fast esports is growing too. Many players are often confused about pro controllers and whilst they add new functionality over standard controllers they are not considered to be ‘modded’ controllers.
In this article, we explain why pro controllers are in fact not modded and why you can use pro controllers in tournaments or esports events.
On the surface, pro controllers come with a wide range of benefits - they have additional buttons, button re-mapping and the quality of the buttons, D-pad, joysticks, and triggers are often a lot higher than standard controllers.
There’s no denying that pro controllers offer better precision for skilled gamers, but they do not include any ‘mods’ or affect gameplay whatsoever.
On the other side of the fence, modded controllers have specific ‘mods’ that can be used to get an in-game edge over other players. These mods could

In this article, we'll be listing some of the best PS4 arcade sticks available. If you're willing to take your game to the next level, chances are one of these arcade sticks will be able to help whether you play Street Fighter V, Mortal Kombat or any other fighting game.
HORI Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai
For just under $144, this PS4 arcade stick is conservative on the physical design, but it goes all out on features and performance. The stick on this pad is super slick, making it easy to execute moves. If you're a novice or a veteran in the esports world, the stick on the Arcade Pro 4 Kai will work wonders for you.
Our only complaint is that if you've got extra large hands, you may find that the layout leaves you limited on space.
Mad Catz Street Fighter V FightStick TE2+
Mad Catz has been in the game for decades now, so it's no surprise that their FightStick TE2+ is a great piece of kit. This arcade stick comes in at $229 -

In an interesting move to stand out from the crowd, Xbox has announced a bright and colorful red Xbox One controller.
The new all-red controller is expected to hit the online Xbox store from January 11. By all-red, we really mean it by the way. Everything from the accents on the buttons to the chassis and bumper buttons is red. The only hint of non-red is seen on the Xbox symbol, which remains white.
The new controller will be on sale for $64.99, and GameStop will also stock it, both online and in-store.
This isn't the first time Xbox has attempted to offer their customers new personalization options. In the past, they released the Xbox Design Lab, which allowed players to pick out their own colors for each part of an Xbox One controller.
Despite the selection of colors, the Xbox One Design Lab still can't trump our own Custom Controller Creator - we add a greater range of colors for selection, and also have a variety of decals and fancier graphics available

As you may know already, Sony is slowly gearing up to release the PS4 Slim as a new alternative to their current game console. As the name of the console suggests, the PS4 Slim will be a smaller, more lightweight version of the original PlayStation 4. This is a move that Sony has made plenty of times in the past with all of their consoles. In fact, Sony even released a PlayStation One slim, and have been doing so with their main game consoles ever since.
Because of this, it's no surprise that a PlayStation 4 Slim is on it's way. However, the surprising part is that a newly reworked DualShock 4 controller may be released alongside the PS4 Slim.
According to rumors, the new controller will have a change to the lightbar. The lightbar is used to signify each player for split-screen games. Each player is given a different color. Players can also change their own color for their profile so that players know that they are signed into their own account when playing on their own.

Thanks to the power of the internet, we may have just been spoiled to some information that the Knack developers didn't want to reveal. A 3D animator working at Knack recently posted Knack 2 on their CV. In the CV it stated that Knack 2 has been in development since May last year.
The CV, which is available on LinkedIn, was first discovered by a member of the NeoGAF forum. The CV originally stated that the 3D animator, named Mindy Liang, was working on "animated 3D character motions and cutscenes" on Knack 2 for the PlayStation 4 since May 2015.
As you can imagine, the CV has since been edited and any mention of Knack 2 has been removed. Fortunately the internet never forgets.
What's important to note about this information is that whilst Knack 2 could still be in development, it’s possible that Knack 2 is not going to launch at all. With fairly low scores from players and critics alike, it would be understandable if the developers working on Knack 2 started up the

The developers for Rocket League have announced a brand new DLC pack for the game that will include a number of items based upon the Portal video game series by Valve.
The new items have been added to Rocket League on the PC and the PlayStation 4. All of the items are cosmetic in nature and can be found in the vehicle customization screen. The new items are all Portal themed, and unlike previous DLC content, they have been released for free to all players on both platforms.
Perhaps one of the coolest cosmetic Portal items is the cake hat, but there are other items too, including two new antennas, a cake sticker, a Companion Cube hat and a Personality Cube hat. On top of the new physical items, you will now be able to turn your rocket gel into conversion gel, propulsion gel or repulsion gel. If you've played Portal 2 you'll know that there are number of different colored gels available for usage.
You won't be given the Portal items completely free of charge - you will
