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

Even though Capcom hasn't announced the first DLC characters in 2016 yet, they have already confirmed that there will be more DLC characters released after the first wave.
In a recent interview, Capcom's brand director Matt Dahlgren mentioned that Street Fighter V will have a second wave of new characters. Capcom seems to have a strong long-term plan for SFV that could involve a lot of DLC content. This DLC plan could include a new Street Fighter V character every two months after launch if everything goes smoothly.
Dahlgren stated that "We don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves." Dahlgren continued by stating that they think they're" going to watch how things progress."
"We do have very ambitious plans for Street Fighter 5 and a very long term strategy. We'd like to continue as long as we can, but we'll have to see how the product does," Dahlgren continued.
On top of the paid extra content, Capcom will also be giving Street Fighter V a lot of free support.

After a long wait, the release date for the PlayStation 4 version of Beyond Two Souls has been announced. Once November 24 hits, players will be able to purchase the remastered version of Beyond Two Souls for the PlayStation 4.
The new version of Beyond Two Souls on the PlayStation 4 will differ slightly from the original version. Firstly the game has been upgraded with new HD graphics, making the game look even nicer than the original PS3 release.
The new version of the game will cost players $29.99 and will be available from the PlayStation store starting November 24. On top of the HD 1080p resolution improvements, the game now has motion blur, bloom and depth of field effects, as well as improved lighting and shadows. The game also makes use of the DualShock 4 speaker to improve immersion when playing as the Entity.
A new feature will also show what decisions you've made at the end of each scene and you'll be able to see how you compare to other player's decisions.

As it currently stands, Rocket League is only available on PlayStation 4 and PC. It would be easy to assume that Rocket League is a PS4 and PC exclusive kind of deal because of this, but surprisingly the game does not have any exclusivity deals whatsoever. Because the development team of Rocket League is quite small, they just haven't had the time or resources to push out the game to any other platforms just yet.
Thankfully, the Rocket League developers do have plans to move the game to new consoles, and yes, that does mean that the game could come to Xbox One.
Nothing has been confirmed just yet, but one of the Rocket League developers did recently mention that they do have plans to release their game to other platforms, in addition to the PlayStation 4 and the PC.
When asked whether Rocket League would come to Xbox One, a developer of the game chuckled a little and then made the following statement.
"I can't say. We're looking at all kinds of platforms

New plans have been announced for Driveclub, including plans for a new update for release in December
Currently, Driveclub Bikes is the latest content for Driveclub - this is a standalone DLC pack that contains bikes in the world of DriveClub. Unlike other DLC, DriveClub Bikes can be picked up and played without players owning the base DriveClub game.
Now for the new upcoming content. Firstly, the new update coming to Driveclub in December will add some new content to the game. It's likely that the December update will include a number of new features but as it currently stands we only know that the December patch will include tyre deformation for all cars. This should mean that cars in endurance races will become harder to control as the race goes on. This should definitely make pit stops a possible game mechanic.
Interestingly, the next update after the one in December is going to bring most fans more excitement and that is because 2016 will include updates that add

Even though the release date for Street Fighter 5 has now been set, the character roster is still mostly a mystery. Capcom has been very quiet about what characters will be in Street Fighter 5 so we have very little information to go on.
What we do know for definite is that Street Fighter 5 will get a base character roster when the game launches and then there will be six more characters released after the launch of the game, which will be available as paid DLC.
We don't know for definite who the six DLC characters may be, but a new alleged leak shows off exactly who could be possible. Whilst this leak looks pretty believable, it should still be taken with a grain of salt.
The first character will be Alex - this is a character that has been in the Street Fighter franchise since Street Fighter 3. Alex was the main character in SF3 but he was not seen in SF4 at all. Guile will possibly be the second DLC character for Street Fighter 5.
Ibuki the ninja may be a third

Driveclub has been available for a good few months now but despite this there have been a couple of long requested features that have not been in the game for all of that time. One of the most requested features for Driveclub was a private lobby system - with private lobbies, players are able to set up their own races between friends and invited players, instead of being forced to use the game's matchmaking system.
We have good news for you today - Evolution Studios has released a new update for Driveclub and it includes the long wanted private lobby system. Not only do private lobbies give you a better spot to play with or against your friends, but there are plenty of options to make races more customizable. On Evolution Studios' Facebook page, a post was written, explaining that the new private lobbies will allow players to pick between "a wide variety of customizable options and modifiers for things like grid position, penalties, vehicle collisions, drafting, gear changes, camera

Recently, the eSports industry has grown at a huge rate. We're seeing new companies get involved in eSports from all over the world. This week, Sony announced a brand new eSports platform for PlayStation Plus users that will offer everyday players the chance to earn real money by playing the games they love.
The new eSports platform for PlayStation Plus users is called LEAGUE, and it will be hosted on a seasonal basis. Each season, different rewards will be available for players across some of the main PlayStation 4 games.
As it currently stands, there are championships underway for Battlefield Hardline, Ultra Street Fighter IV and FIFA 16. As things are only just getting underway, the reward system is little confusing, but it looks as if there will be a small monthly prize pool for each game - each first place prize will consist of around 150 euros. Other rewards all add up to the cumulative rewards pool of 20,000 euros.
To begin with it looks like all championships

A brand new expansion for Driveclub has been revealed this week, and whilst information on the expansion is very minimal, we can still make an accurate guess on exactly what we may expect from the expansion.
As the title suggests, the new upcoming Driveclub expansion is called Driveclub Bikes. The Driveclub expansion will give players the ability to drive a number of bikes, which is a class of vehicle that was not available in the original version of Driveclub.
It's expected that more details will be unveiled within the next few days at the Paris Games Week, but for now we're stuck with very little information about exactly what Driveclub Bikes will be. Whilst a new content rating for Driveclub Bikes has appeared online, it's still hard to say whether the content will be a standalone game, an expansion for Driveclub or just extra DLC.
Whilst a full standalone game is unlikely, it would be strange for a content rating to be made for a small piece of DLC. For this reason,
