Although Drive Club has been delayed, you shouldn't vent your anger at Evolution Studios or Sony, because the game will definitely be worth the wait.
If you're not yet convinced that DriveClub is going to be a racing game everybody is going to want to play, you may want to have a look at some new gameplay footage that was released over the weekend.
The new DriveClub footage was shown as part of a UK advertising campaign, and was put alongside some clips of Killzone: Shadowfall, but despite the beautiful new FPS looking great, the few seconds of DriveClub really impressed me.
Two clips are shown; one where the player is driving in from the driver, and another from the typical camera angle from behind the vehicle, and it instantly captures the huge expansive world that Sony has stated DriveClub to be.
On top of the great view, the graphics for the environment and the cars are great, and it certainly feels like the closest to real life any racing game has ever been.

Before the release of the PlayStation 4, The Order 1866 was one of the games that was unveiled, along with a bunch of launch window titles. However, a proper release date for the game hasn't been given, and we're still unsure when we'll actually get to play the game.
A new conversation on twitter between Sony Santa Monica Director TD Moss, and the founder of Ready at Dawn Studios, Andrea Pessino, seems to suggest that The Order 1866 will be ready and released in Fall 2014.
In a line of tweets and replies, TD Moss said "looking forward to what you make it do next fall! No pressure ;-P," to which Andrea Pessino replied "yeah, me too! ;)"
On their own, even the exchange of winking faces seems to suggest that these two know something that the rest of don't, so it's likely that even though it hasn't been made official yet, The Order 1866 development

Although the launch of Gran Turismo 6 won't even hit till the very end of 2013, the 7th game in the franchise may arrive in 2014, which is a very unusual schedule for Polyphony Digital.
Talking to Top Gear, Polyphony Digital's CEO Kazunori Yamauchi has revealed that the they would like to get Grand Turismo 7 out as soon as possible. Although Top Gear made an article with the title "Grand Turismo 7 is Coming in 2014" the truth of the matter is slightly different.
Kazunori said "We don't want to take too long on Gran Turismo 7. Best-case scenario? Next year. In GT6 we really had to tune the software 100 per cent to maximize the PS3's architecture, but of course the PS4's hardware is much better, so I think the overall quality of the game across the board will be boosted when you come to play it".
This does mean that if everything goes to plan, Gran Turismo 7 could be available for the

To say sorry for all of the problems since the launch of the game on Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3, DICE manager Karl Magnus Troedssen has announced that all players will be offered double EXP for a whole week for all of the games they play within the double EXP week period.
The week will start on November 28th and will end on December 5th, and although it hasn't been confirmed yet, we assume this will apply to all consoles, including the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4.
On top of the double EXP, players who play the game on December 5th will receive an exclusive weapon. Karl Magnus Troedssen said "On December 5 we will give all players that log in to Battlefield 4 multiplayer a M1911 pistol scope," said Troedsson. "This special sidearm scope, previously reserved for our DICE developers,

Previous whisperings and rumors suggested that Take Two knew about a new Rockstar game that would continue a previously created franchise, and we speculated that it may be a new Bully game.
A new bit of information seems to hint that a new Bully game is coming, and this could mean we have a next gen Bully game in the works.
Although no announcements have been made, Take Two, the publisher backing Rockstar, have filed a new trademark with the name "Bully Bullworth Academy: Canis Canem Edit."
Although neither Take Two nor Rockstar have made comments on the trademark filing, it's pretty clear at this point that some kind of new Bully experience is coming, and when putting two pieces of the puzzle together, it makes sense that Bully Bullworth Academy will be a brand new game in the Bully franchise.
This trademark name has been filed for Europe, however a United States filing has not taken place due to there being similarities with another trademark name, Bully in

If you're interested to hear about the results for first day sales for the PlayStation 4 in the United States, you'll be happy to find out that things have been pretty positive for Sony.
President of Sony Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida, took to twitter to announce that a total of 1 million PlayStation 4's sold on the first day of release in North America alone.
To top that number, Sony plan to sell a total of 5 million units by the end of March 2014, and to be honest at this point in time it's pretty likely Sony will be able to hit this number.
Without taking into consideration any bundles, extra controllers, games or accessories that may have sold, 1 million units sums up to a total of $399m. 5 million units worth would end up being just under two billion at $1.9B.
Sony already announced that a total of 1 million PlayStation 4's had been pre-ordered back at Gamescom in August this year, and with Christmas right around the corner, a big chunk more PlayStation’s

Despite Sony's and Microsoft's best attempts to keep hackers and modders out of the gaming communities on both the PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE, it seems more and more people are finding ways into the system to cheat online and ruin gameplay for others.
Call of Duty has never been perfect for this, and when it comes to modded lobbies and cheats running around in-game, the average Call of Duty gamer has probably heard at least something about such things existing.
Unfortunately, it looks as if hacks and cheats on Call of Duty Ghosts have hit an all time low. Many players are reporting issues with players using hacks to give them access to perks all the way through a game, and others have accidentally found themselves inside a modded lobby, where players are boosting and gaining thousand’s more points per minute than actually possible.
On top of the hacking problems within the game itself, news has hit that a team of hackers have managed to release a torrent file

Despite being on the Microsoft side of the fence with the popular Halo franchise, Sony has managed to bag a deal with Bungie to bring PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 gamers entrance into the Destiny beta a little while before players on either the Xbox One or the Xbox 360.
Bungie have been pretty vague on the beta access for Destiny, and at first there was not any mention of any early access to the game. However, a little while after pre-orders were opened up for all four consoles the game is supported on, Bungie announced that pre-orders would give players access into the beta that will be available early next year.
Following on from that, it looks as if Bungie are being even more vague and have announced that there will be a disparity between the launch date for the beta on Sony consoles and the launch date on Microsoft consoles.
At this moment in time, details on how much longer Microsoft gamers will have to wait over PlayStation gamers haven't been given. Beta keys

After all of the talk and arguing about whether the two next gen consoles, the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4, will have 1080P support for next gen titles, it's personally left me a bit frustrated with the way 'fanboys' seem to enjoy trash talking their fellow gamers.
This probably leaves Microsoft, Sony and any game developers working on next gen titles wondering what they can do to please the angry crowd of gamers that are slowly piling up outside their front door, and in Infinity Ward's case, it looks like a 1080P compatibility patch for Call of Duty Ghosts on the PlayStation 4.
Straight out of the box, Call of Duty Ghosts will play at 1080P natively in multiplayer mode, but the single player is stuck at 720P. The new patch that's been available for download since day one fixes this and allows players to play single player in 1080P resolution.

Call of Duty: Ghosts will be the first game in the franchise to include the ability to lean round corners. This feature has been present in many other FPS games including the Battlefield series for some time now, so it's nice to see it finally make its way into Call of Duty.
There is currently one problem with the leaning glitch, and this has been pointed out by a Vine video showing the leaning ability in action.
The Vine video shows one player leaning out of cover, however from another player's view, the player cannot be seen leaning out at all.
Despite the player that is leaning out of cover being able to see past the cover clearly and take shots at other players, others cannot see or even shoot the player.
This problem seems to be due to an animation not playing for the character when a player goes to lean, and it shouldn't be a very easy problem to fix.
In fact, Infinity Ward's Tina Palacios sent out a tweet on twitter to completely dispel the issue-
