Although Call of Duty Ghosts will be released for multiple platforms with many different hardware specifications, Mark Ruben, executive producer at Infinity Ward, has stated that players of the new Call of Duty Ghosts game will get the best graphical experience possible for their system.

This means players with a gaming PC or a next gen console like the PS4 or Xbox One will be able to enjoy the full HD resolution found within the textures Infinity Ward have created for the game, but older and less capable platforms such as the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 will receive down-scaled versions that offer the best graphical quality possible without being too much of a drain on the resources available.

Mark Ruben directly said "What we've done with this generation change, especially for the art pipeline, that being the biggest difference, is we're making our big art assets at cinema quality, not even PC quality, but above next-gen. It's

After we saw the official Microsoft unboxing for the Xbox One, a lot of gamers got angry at the extra paywalls and prices that will have to be forked out to access most of the features available on the gaming/media box.

If you're frustrated at this, here's a bit of news that may help you to calm down just a little.

Microsoft will be introducing a new family plan on the Xbox One. On the Xbox 360 gamers could save money by buying a Gold 'family pack.' However, users of this service would still have to pay for multiple Xbox Live Gold accounts but just at a discounted price.

On the new Xbox One, a family will be able to make use of the new 'Home Gold' feature that will allow a whole family with multiple gamertags to share the Xbox Live Gold status from one member on that Xbox.

For example, if one user were to buy an Xbox Live Gold subscription, all other gamertags on this Xbox would also gain access to all of the features that require Xbox

Whilst Microsoft may not be done with the Kinect, it is quite clear that for most the piece of tech is nothing more than a gimmick. It can be fun to wave yourself in front of the TV with a few mates or with the family, and talking to your Xbox can be quite entertaining at first, but it quickly looses any meaning except for a companion for it's Xbox friend.

Microsoft may be looking into something a lot better than the Kinect if their recent patent file is anything to go by. The patent shows information on what seems to be a pair of virtual reality glasses. Players will be able to wear the glasses and 'immerse' themselves in a game.

Recently we've seen things like the impressive Oculus Rift hit the world, and it's certainly left an impact, so perhaps Microsoft want to get there first.

If the Oculus Rift is anything to go by, using a high-tech virtual reality kit will allow players to really feel like they are in the game- the camera will move accurately to your head movements,

Although we're still waiting for Lost Planet 3 from Capcom after their unexpected release reschedule earlier this year, it hasn't stopped the developer and publisher from working on more titles.

This includes their new Deep Down game, a title that previously little was known about. Capcom recently revealed this game with a teaser trailer, and it's certainly looking interesting.

So far the game is said to be an 'online game' so it could be possible that it is developed as a persistent MMO- something that has popped up a lot recently on consoles in games such as Defiance and Destiny.

The trailer shows hardly anything, shows no game play, and only plays some strange voices that all start to blend into one another until they all become one cacophony of noise that then leads to the end of the trailer with an explosion.

It certainly has got us thinking, but trying to work out what could come from this game at the moment is almost impossible to do.

On the trailer,

Although the Launch Edition of the Xbox One comes bundled with the Kinect 2.0, there wasn't an official confirmation whether the Xbox One would be released without the Kinect 2.0 or not within the future.

Microsoft has recently replied to concerns about the topic to state that "We have no plans to introduce an Xbox One without Kinect. We believe in Kinect and the value it brings to both games and entertainment, and believe $499 is a great value for what consumers receive with their Xbox One."

Rumors started to spread that Microsoft were going to release a console without the  Kinect 2.0 as a Microsoft representative stated that the Xbox One does not need the Kinect 2.0 to run. Since then it seems that Microsoft has called this out as a typo and Microsoft has since backtracked to the previous announcement that the Kinect 2.0 is needed to allow the Xbox One to work.

Because of the added costs of the Kinect 2.0, the Xbox One costs

If you weren't satisfied enough with the first 8 minute game play video, Ashraf Ismail, director of the Assassins' Creed series has narrated another game play video. This 14 minute video goes into some of the game play dynamics found within the open world of Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag, and shows a little about the story of Edward Kenway, the protagonist you'll be playing as in Black Flag.

The video starts off by showing the viewer a contract mission that the player has accepted and how the player navigates the world map and in-game to find the contract victim. The video also shows the player traversing the open world a little and shows a bit more of the ship game mechanics.

We already saw the 8 minute game play video delve into the ship game play, but this 13 minute game play video helps to showcase the integration between the ship game play and the rest of the world, and I am quite impressed at just how seamless the whole situation feels.

Personally I can't wait

One thing that Microsoft won't seem to drop when it comes to the Xbox One is the phrase "the power of the cloud." I've personally seen time and time again an Xbox One representative praise this power but apart from Forza Motorsport 5, we haven't really seen any reason to believe that there really is any power within the cloud, at least as far as the Xbox One is concerned.

I do hope that this changes in the future, and Microsoft will hopefully reveal more uses for their cloud capabilities as the Xbox One grows.

One such use has been revealed, and it will allow Xbox One owners to store an unlimited amount of data on their Xbox One straight to the cloud.

This is a similar feature already seen on the Xbox 360, however, Xbox Live gold members will be given unlimited storage as a benefit of being a paying Xbox subscriber instead of just 512mb. Microsoft has stated that -

"Xbox Live offers Xbox One unlimited storage space in the cloud

If you've watched the E3 trailer for Dead Rising 3, you'll know that there is a lot to be excited about. For me, it would be one of the only games i'd want an Xbox One at launch for. The first two Dead Rising games were fun but the areas you roamed became a little dull after spending 10 odd hours within them.

It's good to know that Dead Rising 3 will have an open world that is capable of accommodating both the spaces within Dead Rising 1 and Dead Rising 2 combined. This also didn't account for the extra 'room to spare' on top of the space capable of accommodating the first two games Josh Bridge has talked about at this year's San Diego Comic Con.

Executive Produced of the series, Bridge also went on to discuss a few other things about Dead Rising 3 such as "an unmatched level of weapon and character customization, and immersive Xbox SmartGlass and Kinect integration, Dead Rising 3 delivers a heart-pounding experience unlike any other as players fight

The Witcher series has always been one renowned for it's graphical fidelity, but the problem here is that as a console owner you're going to get the kind of people that like to boast about how amazing their PC version is when it comes to graphics.

It's true that there is a ton more power in gaming PCs than there is in the Xbox 360 and PS3, but Witcher devs believe they'll be able to do something special with next generation consoles.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be very impressive on both the PS4 and the Xbox One if the Polish developers are to be trusted. Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, the game director of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has said, "We're creating a really big game for three major platforms at the same time - if something's a challenge it's that. Additionally, developing on next-gen consoles is always a process to look forward to - working to get the max out of the hardware and thinking how one can creatively use the technology is always a blast."

Avalanche Studios, the same development team behind the Just Cause games, have posted screen shots leading up to their reveal trailer release. The trailer was released on Sunday and shows almost 2 minutes of a narrated dramatic video that shows one man walking through the barren wasteland desert.

The video also went on to showing some vehicle footage, combat footage, and then at the end exploding into a action filled environment that we've come to expect from Avalanche Studios.

Mad Max is set to be an open world action game set in post apocalyptic Australia and will be released in 2014 and will be playable on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC and next gen PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Avalanche studios has also released the two screen shots used to build hype up to reveal trailer as high resolution images.
