Out of nowhere, CD Projekt Red started broadcasting a strange cryptic video on YouTube and Twitch.
After many hours, the live broadcast switched up and a full gameplay video for Cyberpunk 2077 was showcased.
Whilst not many actual gameplay elements were shown, we got introduced to the world of Cyberpunk 2077, we were shown some gameplay and RPG elements.
More importantly, all 48 minutes of the gameplay video was shot in the game. No additional rendering or cutscenes were added.
In the beginning, the gameplay video showcased the player creation screen. Players will have many options at their disposal to adjust their character. They can change their appearance, their starting traits, and their gender.
The gameplay video also showcased how story-rich Cyberpunk 2077

We've got big news for any Mass Effect Andromeda fans out there.
It's been confirmed that a gameplay showing for Mass Effect Andromeda will take place on January 4 at NVIDIA's CES Keynote. We're not sure what sort of gameplay will be showcased, although a small description alongside the announcement mentioned that the game environments and some gameplay will be shown.
By this logic, it may make sense that we'll be getting a look at the scale of the universe in Mass Effect Andromeda and a close look at the environments on each world. Whilst this is mostly speculation, it would also make sense considering that the event is being hosted by NVIDIA. It may also be possible that NVIDIA will be announcing some of their own new products at the CES Keynote, especially in regards to PC gaming.
While the Mass Effect Andromeda gameplay shown at the CES event may be broadcasted from a PC, it'll still be a great look at what the game will have to offer on other platforms as well.

There is a very large pool of gamers that are getting hyped up for the launch of Star Wars: Battlefront. Whilst EA and DICE have managed to impress most audiences so far, there is one area of Battlefront that will be completely missing and this may disappoint some gamers who prefer a more solo experience.
Even though there will be some local co-op options for players and you will be able to connect to some content in Star Wars: Battlefront whilst offline, there will be no solo campaign in the game. Unlike previous Star Wars Battlefront titles, this means that players will be limited to playing the multiplayer mode or playing the Missions mode against AI opponents.
The Missions mode gives players the opportunity to team up locally on one single console, but we're assuming that you'll also be able to play Missions on your own. The name Missions makes the mode sound a lot more interesting, but it's basically just a player Vs AI equivalent of the online multiplayer modes.

In the latest patch for The Order: 1886 a brand new photo mode has been added to the game that will allow players to take screenshots of their game and send it to their friends.
In the latest PlayStation blog it read, "Fans expressed an overwhelming desire to see and share the realism, beauty and detail of our Neo-Victorian world. With Photo Mode, you'll be able to compose, capture, and share stunning images of your favorite moments, characters, and environments."
On top of being able to take great shots of your gameplay by heading into the photo mode at any time, there are a number of settings within photo mode that apply to your own game experience too. You can adjust some of the color gradients and other graphical settings to change the appearance of your game in real time. For example, if you want to play with a sepia tone, or want to see what playing The Order: 1886 in black and white feels like, you can set these things up in the photo mode.

Despite not actually being out yet, some players have already completed The Order 1866, and a selection of those that have completed the game have shared their experiences online. One player, who posted his entire playthrough online, managed to complete The Order 1866 in around five hours and a half.
The 5 hour playthrough followed the player as he completed the main story, whilst neglecting a lot of side missions and extra playable content. Going from this information, we can make a pretty accurate estimate that if you pick up The Order 1866, it's going to take you at least five and a half hours to complete, and that's if you skip everything you possibly can. It's also important to understand that the gamer in question managed to get through without dying a single time.
Despite only lasting five and a half hours, the player described that the story-driven singleplayer in The Order: 1866 felt like it lasted a lot longer. This could partially be down to the fact that the story

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

Bungie has just released a 7 minute long gameplay video of Destiny, showcasing real in-game footage of the title, and it's certainly got some gamers hyped.
At first look, the similarities between Bungie's previous game series, Halo, and Destiny can be easily spotted. The overall experience that we've come to love was never a Halo experience, it was a Bungie experience.
The new gameplay video is filled with the same cinematic backgrounds every Halo game has been renowned for, and the overall world design feels very reminiscent of various scenes from the Halo universe. Even the overall AI combat system in Destiny feels slightly similar to a firefight between a group of Elites and Grunts, and despite these similarities, Destiny has enough to spark curiosity among gamers.
If you were to sum up Destiny in as small amount of words as possible, I think it would be best described as a Borderlands-Halo hybrid - the beauty of Bungie is still around every corner, but it's filled

Diablo 3 took off to a rocky start, but since it's console adaptation, and the changes that went into the game since the 2.0 patch, the game is now enjoyed by a large audience worldwide. The first expansion pack, Reaper of Souls, was quite a success, and it has helped it to propel the game forwards in terms of gameplay and content quality.
However, many Diablo 3 players have now made their way through the content available in the Reaper of Souls expansion, and that has left a lot of players without much left to do in the game.
Good news if you happen to fall into that crowd, because Blizzard have been looking into the possibilities of releasing another expansion pack for Diablo 3 in the near future. Whilst it hasn't been confirmed yet, Blizzard are taking player's opinions and using this to gauge whether a second expansion pack is needed for the latest Diablo game.
The development studio working on Diablo 3 have stated that they are "still evaluating" future possibilities

If you've been playing Titanfall at all over the last few weeks, you may have noticed that the team balancing system in place doesn't really feel like it's there at all. In fact, as it stands, it seems just as likely to have a full team of generation pilots against a team of new players, as it is to have a fair, balance game across both teams.
However, this is likely to change in the future, and Respawn Entertainment have already addressed it as an issue. In fact, Respawn have already worked on a system that should sort out the matchmaking balancing issues, and it should be available in the game in the near future.
For the time being, the new updated matchmaking system has been pushed out to a small beta server that players have access to. In the beta server, and all other servers once the full matchmaking balancing update goes live, the game will spend more time looking for equal matches instead of simply jumping to the most optimized game as quickly as possible.

Some people have been confused as to why the developers behind the Metal Gear Solid franchise have split Metal Gear Solid V into two separate titles, but Hideo Kojima has created a video to help gamers understand why, as well as to reveal the new second screen application that will work alongside the Phantom Pain.
In simplicity, the Phantom Pain is not yet complete, but Kojima wants players to experience a taste of what's to come in the game, and to do this, they have decided to go for a second title, Ground Zeroes, to act as a prologue.
Metal Gear Solid V is taking a huge leap from it's routes, and a lot of new gameplay mechanics are being opened up. Ground Zeroes will give players a small taste of what to expect in terms of gameplay content, but it will also give a bit of background history behind the characters and world of MGS, which will be perfect for players who aren't accustomed to the story of Metal Gear Solid.
The story for MGS has always been quite complex,
