A brand new gameplay video for DriveClub has been released, and it shows off footage of the final, finished build of the game. All I can say is that DriveClub is looking absolutely stunning.
It may not offer the same, open world opportunities as other racing games, such as Forza Horizon 2, but DriveClub certainly looks very incredible. It seems that racing games these days are often used as the benchmark of gaming graphics - we always see the most stunning visuals in racing games before they make their way to new FPS's, RPGs or other genres of video games.
In the new gameplay footage of DriveClub, a few cinematic fly-overs of a selection of cars can be seen - the sun is shining off of the smooth chassis of each vehicle, the world can be seen reflected off of the cars' glass windows, and every crack and crevice can be seen in the detailed world below.
At first, it seems like a very ordinary trailer - the cinematic graphics are stunning, and then the actual gameplay shows

We've already talked a little bit about the new upcoming features of Grand Theft Auto V for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, but new rumors suggest that there may be even more features planned for the game that Rockstar are yet to reveal.
One such rumor makes the proposal that Rockstar may have been working on a first person mode for Grand Theft Auto 5, and it may make it's way into the game for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One release.
Whilst there's no way to confidently confirm or deny these rumors, the source comes from a Rockstar blog reader who supposedly found a 'cached' version of the new gen announcement blog within the Rockstar website's code.
On the cached version of the website, the first person mode was described as 'A brand new first person mode for vehicles that shows the interior of the vehicle, including working speedometers, tachometers, dash lights, and more.'
The cached blog post also went on to describe a new first person mode whilst on foot

It looks like everybody is jumping on the 'port-your-games-to-the-new-gen' band wagon, including Team Ninja, who have confirmed that they plan to bring Dead or Alive 5: Last Round to the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One, despite it being a game that released two years ago.
Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round will come with a range of improvements, including graphical changes, and most likely a frame rate and resolution increase for the PS4 and the Xbox One.
Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round will release for the PS3 and Xbox 360 too, however only a digital version will be available for last gen consoles, whilst both a physical and a digital version will be available for the Xbox One and PS4.
Whilst there is no concrete release date for Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round, Team Ninja have mentioned that it will make it's way to the world in Spring 2015 for all four Sony and Microsoft consoles currently in the spotlight.
DOA 5: Last Round will include characters that didn't make it into

If you've ever been anywhere near any video game retail stores recently, you've probably seen The Last of Us Remastered quickly jump to the top of the PlayStation 4 charts, so it's unlikely you'd be surprised to hear that the remastered PS4 version of the The Last of Us has managed to sell over 1 million copies already.
The original The Last of Us managed to sell over 7 million copies on the PlayStation 3, and the Remastered version of the PS4 may be able to get close to that in the coming months. Unsurprisingly, the Last of Us Remastered managed to pull in 632,000 copies in it's first week, whilst The Last of Us sold a little over double that in the same period at 1.3 million copies worldwide.
If The Last of Us Remastered continues to sell at the same pace it is now, it's possible the two games will manage to reach a combined sale of 10 million copies worldwide, which would be pretty impressive considering the game is a PlayStation exclusive.
Whilst it's possible The

A new patch for has just rolled out for Killzone Shadowfall on consoles this week, and it includes a bunch of changes to Guerrilla Game's PlayStation 4 exclusive title. The new 1.30 patch for Killzone Shadowfall adds a range of bug fixes and gameplay tweaks, as well as adding support for the new upcoming multiplayer maps.
One bug fix in patch 1.30 which I think a lot of players will be relieved to hear about is the spawn camera issue. This problem forced players to spawn in the opposite direction to the way the spawn camera was facing.
Guerrilla Games have also made it easier for players to understand what weapons players are able to unlock in Killzone Shadowfall patch 1.30, and players will also see much smoother game flow at the end of a round.
Killzone Shadowfall has failed to receive as large of a player base as games like Call of Duty or Halo, but despite this Guerrilla Games are putting in a lot of effort to provide players with an optimum online experience, new

Despite The Last of Us Remastered being a port of a PlayStation 3 title, it seems Sony really want to push for as many sales as possible for the upcoming HD PlayStation exclusive, and their next move to suggest this comes in the form of a brand new PlayStation 4 bundle.
The new PlayStation 4 bundle comes with a console, a DualShock 4 controller, and a copy of The Last of Us Remastered. The bundle was first leaked on Amazon a few days ago, but it has since been made official by Sony.
The brand new bundle has been set for a $429.99 price tag, which should be in-line with other similar PlayStation 4 bundles currently available. So far no details have been given on a North American or UK price tag or release, but it's likely this bundle will be made available in most regions.
The new bundle can already be pre-ordered now. The release date for the bundle is quite unclear, although some retailers have suggested an August 1st, 2014 date, which would make sense considering

Development for the first PS4-based Gran Turismo game is well under way, but it's unlikely the title will ever be released this year. A seventh Gran Turismo title was bound to happen, we've just entered a new generation of consoles, and Sony's front runner racing title needs to show it's face on the PlayStation 4 at some point or another, but so far it's looking more likely that Gran Turismo 7 will release some time in 2015.
According to Kazunori Yamauchi, the next Gran Turismo title will not be a prologue like many previously expected it to be, and it will be as much of a fully featured game as any other Gran Turismo title has been thus far.
Whilst a lot of work went on the sounds in Gran Turismo 6, the seventh title in the series will be a true milestone for the franchise, as a lot of work will be put into the overall gameplay mechanics, and Yamauchi explained that players should expect a lot of major game changes in GT 7.
Gran Turismo 7 should also adopt the huge

Hideo Kojima has recently unveiled new plans for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and it's sounding pretty exciting. Whilst the main experience for Metal Gear Solid V will be within the single player experience, Kojima is offering more playability by adding a few new online features to the franchise.
Players will be able to spend in-game currency on their very own mother base, a sea based facility, that will have plenty of customization potential. Interestingly, players will be able to edit and customize their own mother base both from within the game and from a smartphone device.
Kojima didn't reveal too much information, but he did state to CVG in an interview that, "People who want to create a Mother Base in a very detailed way will be able to design it through the interface, or using their smart device."
You may be wondering where the online portion of all this comes into play. As it turns out, other players will be able to infiltrate your mother base, and

Ubisoft has recently revealed a brand new feature for Far Cry 4 that will allow your friends to get in on the action, even if they don't own the game themselves. The new feature is a PS4 exclusive that we'll probably be seeing a lot more of in the future. If you own Far Cry 4 when it releases, you will be able to send an invite to your friends, encouraging them to come and play the game with you.
Players will be able to accept their friend's Far Cry 4 invites, and they'll be able to join in on the action regardless of whether they actually own the game or not. For this to happen, players will have to download a Far Cry 4 client onto their PlayStation that allows them to play when invited by a friend.
This new feature will restrict those that don't own the game to co-op play with friends that have invited them personally, but I still think it's a great initiative by Sony, and we'll probably see many more games in the future supporting this same approach.
Far Cry 4 is
