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.

It's been a while since EPIC Games has shown us something new, and seeing Unreal Tournament and Gears of War coming from them has really made me excited for what the future could hold for this development team.

Two new job openings on EPIC Game's website could be pointing at new IP the development team may be working on.

One job posting for a technical artist states "to work on multiple new and existing IP's across multiple platforms." The job would involve attacking the more complex issues that arise when we push the technology envelope, both in production on current hardware, and prototyping for next-generation hardware."

The second job posting gives away a little bit more information, and is for a systems designer position. The job posting is looking for those that can "work with the tools and technology that are shaping the next generation of games" on "an unannounced competitive online action game that includes player progression, heavy itemization, and a dynamic

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

As we mentioned in previous posts Evil's laboratory is still brainstorming modded controllers for next generation hardware and one idea that has been sticking around lately is the concept of voice activated modded controllers. While users could still perform button combinations to activate our mods. One idea that the creator and founder of Evil Controllers has thought of, was voice activated modded controllers.

This idea is not currently in the works and may never be made, but it's an idea that is being given serious attention to in regards to modded PS4 controllers as the Dualshock 4 features a built in Microphone.

Would like you the option to say 'Rapid Fire Mod' in order to activate your rapid fire, or 'Drop Shot' to gain advantage of our drop shot mod? What other ways could we use voice activation to make your mods easier to perform?

With a unique touch pad added to the DualShock 4, Modded PS4 Controllers

A new image has circulated around the internet showing what looks like a snap shot of a promotional poster for a new God of War game. Named God of War Redemption, the poster shows the game will be supported for both the PlayStation 4 and the PS Vita.

With the great success from God of War: Ascension on PlayStation 3 earlier this year, it only makes sense that Sony Santa Monica try harder to push for a God of War release for PlayStation 4.

However, it seems a little strange to see promotional material so early on, even if it is leaked. There are two possibilities to this story- either the poster is a real poster that has leaked on to the internet, or it's a fake poster that has been made by someone who has a great attention for detail and maybe a little too much time on his hands.

What I don't get though is whenever we see leaked material like this, we never get a proper image- there are always parts missing or the image ends up being

Thanks to the improved hardware in the PlayStation 4, we'll be able to witness a whole lot more in our gameplay than the PlayStation 3 previously allowed us to.

One good example of this is in infamous: Second Son, a game that Sucker Punch has recently revealed will be capable of keeping track of the things you destroy in-game, meaning that when you come back, that damage will still be there.

This new capability is possible largely to the GDDR5 8GB RAM found in the PlayStation 4, which is miles apart from the PS3's tiny 512MB DDR3 RAM.

Sucker Punch has said "it was very difficult in a PlayStation 3 timeframe, where you don't have enough RAM to store information about every object in the whole universe. The areas would just be refreshed when you leave and come back. But now we have a lot more to work with."

Personally I think this is great progress for gaming and I can't wait for InFamous: SS.
