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-

It has been rumored by many that Respawn Entertainment's next gen first person shooter, Titanfall, would be making its way to PlayStation 4 after the Xbox One and other Microsoft platforms' timed exclusivity ran out, despite Microsoft officials not mentioning a timed exclusivity for the title.
However, it's been revealed this week that Titanfall will not be making its way to PlayStation 4, or any non-Microsoft console at all.
The rumors started when Microsoft's Major Nelson started an 'ask me anything' session on Reddit and attempted to avoid a question on the details of the Xbox One exclusivity rights for Titanfall.
Major Nelson's answer to the Reddit AMA question was "As far as being an exclusive that's really a question for Titanfall. I’m not worried about it though." This made many immediately assume that Major Nelson

Despite many of the launch titles being available for both current generation and next generation consoles, it's looking like Infinity Ward and Activision are having to make some sacrifices to the current generation version of Call of Duty Ghosts to ensure things run smoothly.
Thanks to a new leaked image of the back cover for the Xbox 360 version of Call of Duty Ghosts, we now have found out that the online multiplayer will only feature up to 6 versus 6 combat, with the largest games only having a total of 12 players, instead of the standard 18 seen in previous COD games.
On the next gen version and the PC version of Call of Duty Ghosts, the 18 player standard is present, so it looks as if sacrifices have had to be made. Although we haven't seen a PlayStation 3 copy of the game, it's likely that PS3 will only support up to 12 players online as well.
The leaked image also gives us information on the mandatory download for COD Ghosts on the Xbox 360. Luckily, it will

When developing content that will be available to millions of people upon its release, it becomes very difficult to manage and stop content from leaking out before its planned release date.
Activision and Infinity Ward have been pretty generous leading up to the Call of Duty Ghosts launch and have given us a lot of information on the upcoming game, however despite this, leaks and information on the game are spreading out all over the place, and the cause of this seems to be that some lucky people have been able to get hold of a copy COD Ghosts before its launch in November, and thanks to these people, we now have pretty much everything we could want to know about the multiplayer.
Below you can see a summary of the content available on the Call of Duty Ghosts online multiplayer, thanks to various leaks throughout the internet.

It looks as if historical accuracy is something that really matters to Ubisoft, and to show that, they have made a brand new video showing off the various types of in-game weapons you'll be able to get in Assassins' Creed IV: Black Flag.
On top of this, the video gives a quick preview of the port of Genoa, a location that will probably play an important part in the story.
The video includes a rather energetic historical weapons expert discussing the variety of weapons available to the pirates at the time. He makes a mention of guns, knives, swords and even grenades, but also talks about psychological warfare, a method used by pirates to scare and intimidate their enemies into surrender.
The whole concept behind pirates is a scary one, and if you were out at sea, pirates would be the worst thing you could bump into. It will be interesting to see what kind of options we have open to enable us to scare our enemies into submission.
Along with psychological warfare,

It has been revealed that Ubisoft will be developing extra DLC content for two of their most anticipated games and that the content will be a timed exclusive for the PlayStation 4.
Both Watch Dogs and Assassins' Creed IV: Black Flag will have DLC released on the PlayStation 4 before the Xbox One, forcing users to either purchase a PlayStation 4 to get the content early or wait it out for longer to receive the same content on the Xbox One.
Despite Sony not having made an official statement on this matter, a new Sony video showcasing both Assassins' Creed and Watch Dogs has suggested that the timed exclusive DLC content will be available on the PlayStation 4 six months before the Xbox One.
This information was found within the small print of the video, but even with the internet now aware

Despite previous gameplay trailers and footage of Ryse: Son of Rome focusing on the brutal combat found within the game, there is a story within the world of Ryse, and a newly released gameplay trailer gives an insight into the storyline of Ryse: Son of Rome.
Although Crytek, the development team behind Ryse: Son of Rome, are best known for their beautiful video games graphics, Ryse manages to capture our imagination through both great visuals and good gameplay, and hopefully a good story too.
Rome: Son of Ryse's story mode would be better described as a cinematic action title- it has cut scenes relating to the story within the game, a fairly easy control system that is easy to get to grips with, and if one wants it, a very minimal user interface on top of it all.
The story focuses around the Roman solider, Marius Titus. After a return back home, he finds his family has been brutally murdered, and then sets off to find the most loyal soldiers to fight with him along

The next gen line up so far has looked absolutely amazing, and many games have sparked interest towards both the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4.
It seems that the golden launch was a little too good to be true though, as Drive Club, and now Watch Dogs have been set back to ensure the games are truly 100% complete.
Whilst this is a bit of a shame because we won't be able to play these games on launch day, it is good that developers are taking extra time to make sure their games are the best that they can be.
I'm hoping that's the case with Watch Dogs, as Ubisoft have confirmed that the game will be delayed till spring 2014.
Ubisoft made an official statement on the delay, with CEO Alain Martinez giving his humblest apologies and reasoning's behind the

More details have been given on the release date for the next NFS game, Need for Speed Rivals, and surprisingly it has now been confirmed as a day one launch title.
It was previously announced that Need for Speed Rivals would release around November for both the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4, but it has now been confirmed by EA to be released as a day-one launch title for Europe, and will be available a week after the US launch date of the PlayStation 4.
This means that if you're in Europe you'll be able to get Need for Speed Rivals on Xbox One on November 22nd, and for PS4 on November 29th.
For the United States however, the launch date for both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version of Need for Speed Rivals is November 22nd, which is one week after
