After over a year of delays, and then weeks of issues at launch, Driveclub has now almost reached a perfect state, and the game is looking absolutely gorgeous, just like we had all hoped it to be.
Whilst previous patches had dealt with many issues in regards to game performance, server functionality and other boring technical issues, the last few patches in Driveclub have made some significant changes to the game, and finally the title is in a state that every is really learning to enjoy.
Even though Evolution Studios, the developers behind Driveclub, gave away free content to say sorry for the launch problems, the new 1.09 and 1.08 patch is probably the best gift players of the game could get. In patch 1.09, a huge amount of server and in-game performance issues were worked on, and it's now at a point where everything seems to be working in good order.
In patch 1.08, a brand new weather system was added to Driveclub. From snow to rain, Driveclub now looks even more

Are you a fan of the previous Sniper Ghost Warrior games? If you are, then I have great news for you - CI Games have confirmed that they are indeed working on a third game in the Sniper: Ghost Warrior franchise, cementing previous rumors that suggested CI weren't finished with their previous installment in the series.
Whilst CI Games have been pretty busy recently on games such as Lords of the Fallen, a recent press release from the development team has revealed their plans for Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3, and it is currently being developed as AAA title for the PlayStation 4, the Xbox One and the PC.
So far, it seems as if development is still in early stages for the game though, as the press release revealed that Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 would only be released at some point in 2016. This release means there's no point holding your breath just yet - CI Games have got at least a year and a bit before they release Ghost Warrior 3.
Some at CI Games suggest the game may be

I can't be sure whether this is a practical joke by Rockstar, or someone at their office decided to start April fools a whole four months early, but according to reports, Rockstar are gearing up to release their patch notes for a new update this month, and the exciting part is that they will contain the long awaited GTA Online heist missions.
Rockstar did of course mentioned fairly recently that the first update to come after the release of the new console ports would include the new GTA heists, but after waiting so long, it's almost quite hard to believe.
However, in the new patch notes for an update planned for December 23rd, it looks as if heists will be making their way to GTA Online, alongside other game changes. Unfortunately, this information only comes from a 'tipster' from within the development team, so we can't promise that any of this information is true or not.
Interestingly, Rockstar has tried to cover up any spread information of the new update leaks,

If we go back a year to the release of Titanfall, you may remember all of the frustration over the Titanfall Xbox One exclusivity deal. Because of the huge amount of hype behind the game, Respawn Entertainment managed to sell quite a few Xbox's for Microsoft, but despite this, rumors kept spreading that Titanfall 2, a game that is definitely in the works, will not be an Xbox exclusive, despite the status of it's predecessor.
Of course, at the time there was no proof that Titanfall 2 would be available for any console other than those owned by Microsoft, but shortly after Respawn did mention that they would not have to be locked down to Microsoft's system with their next games. This instantly made many people believe that Titanfall 2 was headed for cross-platform, and there wasn't much to deny it.
To further cement the rumors that Respawn Entertainment will be ending their exclusivity deal for Titanfall, recently the Respawn developers were spotted at the PlayStation conference,

Hurrah! Rockstar Games have finally opened up their doors to reveal their plans for their next upcoming game, and it will be Red Dead Redemption 2. We have been expecting a sequel for Red Dead for a while now, but Rockstar have been pretty quiet about it.
However, recent rumors suggest that Rockstar Games are working hard to release Red Dead Redemption 2. The game will be available for the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One, and it will take the best elements from the original game and bring it into a new story.
Whilst Rockstar have not responded to the recent rumors, an insider has suggested that the new Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released at some point in 2015, and it will take a focus on co-op play.
Whilst the original Red Dead Redemption did have some multiplayer elements, this was solely a different experience to the main game, so it will be interesting to see where the co-operative parts of Red Dead Redemption 2 will come in.
Whether Rockstar will make it

Although the Master Chief Collection has been filled with issues at launch, the new Halo 5: Guardians is still being worked on by 343 Industries, and they are getting ever closer to releasing the game.
Whilst for most of the development process 343 have been pretty quiet about Halo 5, we have seen an influx of new content recently, and just this week 343 released yet another gameplay video, showcasing the new multiplayer in action.
This time round, the gameplay lasts for 15 minutes and it shows off two full games of slayer. The first map is played on Empire, a map we have already seen in previous videos, whilst the second map is Crossfire, one that some of you may not have yet seen.
As always, Halo 5 is looking pretty good in this latest gameplay video, and the great lighting can be seen in full effect. One thing that is clear is that 343 have attempted to put a lot more emphasis into the power weapons in Halo 5, and a typical game of slayer will revolve more around

Assassin's Creed is now very close to launching, and Ubisoft have been revealing all there is about the game leading up to it's launch. Over the weekend, Ubisoft hosted a stream to showcase a whole ton of Assassin's Creed Unity gameplay, and there was a lot to take in from this event.
The livestream event that was hosted on Twitch was hosted for around 9 hours, and within this stream, a good chunk of that time was spent on streaming live gameplay from Assassin's' Creed Unity.
The live stream showed off a bunch of interesting elements of the game, including the brand new character customization options and a look into some of the story missions available in Assassin's Creed Unity.
The live stream also showed off the versatility available within all of the side missions within Unity, and focused on the brand new environment that has been set in France. Quite frankly, Ubisoft have done an amazing job with AC: Unity, and it looks absolutely stunning, both in terms of graphics

So far, Microsoft have managed to keep things about Halo 5 Guardians pretty quiet, and the only content about the game that we have learned about in the past has come straight from Xbox themselves. However, over the weekend, a massive leak showing video footage of Halo 5 hit the internet, and it stirred a frenzy.
Whilst the leak has pretty much been wiped from the web as of writing, the internet never forgets, and we can all still recall what the video displayed. The gameplay showed a few seconds of combat, focusing on a player using a Battle Rifle.
What was clear right away was the changes that had seemed to be made to the ADS in Halo. Ever since Combat Evolved, ADS has been limited to scoped weapons like sniper rifles and battle rifles, and the strange new battle rifle ADS in Halo 5 Guardians confused many players into thinking that ADS would be the norm in the upcoming Halo game.
However, a 343i official responded to the leak on Twitter and stated that ADS will not

Considering it is now so close to the release date of Advanced Warfare, it's expected that the internet is going to be filled with all sorts of leaked content from early release copies and other sources.
Fortunately for us, a lot of information about Advanced Warfare has been released over the last couple of weeks, and Sledgehammer Games are not happy about it. It's all good news for us though.
Whilst we don't have any footage to share with you today, we do have a bit of info to share about Advanced Warfare. For example, 13 maps for the game have been revealed, and we have the names for these maps below.
- Ascend
- Bio Lab
- Comeback
- Defender
- Detroit
- Greenland
- Horizon
- Instinct
- Recovery
- Retreat
- Riot
- Solar

According to the developers of Bloodborne, the upcoming RPG title was "only possible" on the new PlayStation 4.
Game director Hidetaka Miyazaki revealed that Bloodborne would not have been able to perform on previous generation consoles, meaning that the game would only be possible on the PS4 due to From Software's and Sony's current exclusivity partnership.
"I [have] always wanted to make a game set in the Victorian era, but to make it look good - with all of the clothing, the architecture and things - required a console more powerful than the ones that were around. The arrival of the PS4 finally gave us that," Miyazaki revealed in a new interview with PlayStation LifeStyle.
Miyazaki went on to explain that, "Bloodborne isn't a game that could have been cross-generation, it was only possible on PS4."
To clear up any forthcoming confusion, Miyazaki did forget to mention that the game could run on the Xbox One - it could, but Bloodborne will be exclusive to the
