One of the true wonders of the next generation is the inclusion of games with absolutely no loading screens at all. The current generation of consoles suffered from long waiting times and boring pauses in game whilst we waited for new content to be loaded on-screen.
Dead Rising 3 will be one of the first games to truly show the awesomeness of having no loading times by having a huge open world zombie game, filled with various of items, vehicles and interactive scenery, and hundreds of zombies along with it.
No matter where you go in the world there will be absolutely no pauses in-game for loading screens, and you'll have a hard time looking for any freezes whilst the game tries to load new things such as when you enter a building filled with zombies.
Another thing that is cool is that the Dead Rising 3 art developers have worked hard to ensure you'll "never see the same building twice." Every texture in the game has been hand crafted, and there is no reuse of assets

When Rockstar announced that Grand Theft Auto Online was going to be a game separate from GTA V and will live on past the lifespan of the fifth game, many expected there to be some kind of catch.
This week the catch has been revealed by Rockstar themselves after speculation and rumors of purchasable in-game gift cards spread the internet.
It has been revealed that you will be able to purchase in game currency cards for Grand Theft Auto Online with real cash straight from your wallet.
The cards will range from $100,000 to $1,250,000 with various valued cards in between. The cheapest $100,000 card will cost £1.99 (or ~$3.20) and the $1,250,000 card will cost £13.99 ( ~$22.40)
Interestingly, the money system will work differently to GTA V in GTA Online. For example, you’ll be able to pick up a pricy car for $150,000 instead of $1 million, and the most expensive property only costs $400,000.
Guns and car modifications will end up costing more though, and these

There is a whole lot to do with your money in Grand Theft Auto 5, but unless you're smart about spending and investing your cash, you can end up running out pretty quickly. If you're looking for a better way to earn cash without doing it the legit way, you may be interested in this glitch which can allow you to buy ANY property in the game for free, as long as you have more money than the cost of the property.
Warning: Some users have reported that this glitch has broken their mission files and have said that they cannot continue on with missions. Do this glitch on a new save or wait to complete the story first.
This glitch is actually fairly simple to reproduce. All you need to do is make sure you have the cash for the property in the first place. (in the case of the more expensive properties like the golf course, this may take time to earn.) Once you have the cash, go to buy the property like you normally would, however as soon as the quick cutscene starts,

If you're looking to stream, record or capture your gameplay from the PlayStation 4, you will be happy to know that it'll be easier than ever on the PlayStation 4.
Previous concerns over whether you'd be able to use third party game capture equipment on the PlayStation 4 has been met with a positive answer from Sony, who have said third party game capture equipment will be possible through the HDMI out port on the console.
Sony has already included built-in capturing software on the PlayStation 4, but restrictions such as footage length make it inconvenient for people who regularly record and upload videos to the internet.
The PlayStation 4 will also be completely capable of streaming directly to Ustream and Twitch via software on the console, making streaming super easy to do without the need of third party equipment or a PC running in the background.
Streaming, recording and uploading your gameplay will be the easiest it has ever been on

One of the new additions to Battlefield 4's multiplayer is of course the new weapon customization. Unlike in Battlefield 3, players will be able to add customizations straight onto existing weapons instead of having to unlock each variation of the weapon separately.
When compared to Battlefield 3's weapon customization, the new customization in BF4 shown in this video is much better by a long shot.
The video goes onto showing the easy ways to quickly customize weapons, and the large variety of different stocks, grips and other weapon accessories that can make a big impact on a player's play style.
The video also shows dozens of different unlockable camos that can be applied to primary and secondary weapons as well as any drivable vehicle in the game.
The video then ends with a developer showing the new tiered loading mechanic - a feature that should have been in first person shooters a long time ago.

Valve has been very busy this week revealing SteamOS, a Linux based operating system. Then Steam Machines being manufactured by PC companies and finally, earlier today, have unveiled their Steam Controller.
The controller is designed to work on computers for Steam games. Check out the official Steam Controller below:
Of course we wouldn't be Evil if we weren't already brainstorming features and customization options for Custom Steam Controllers until the official release of Valve's hardware. If our fans are interested we'd love to modify and customize Steam Controllers.

A bit of confusion has hit the internet this week. Dozens of video games websites have reported that GTA Online may have 32 player support instead of the previously announced 16 players, thanks to the help of a bunch of friendly hackers who sifted through GTA V's code to find information on a 32 player cap for online play.
The bad news is that Rockstar has dismissed this as just a rumor, and have then confirmed on twitter that the cap will be only 16 players.
@RockstarGames said "Not sure where that rumor came from but GTA Online will support 16 players."
This leaves open the possibilities for 32 player game modes outside of GTA Online that players may have to queue up to join through virtual lobbies. Perhaps we will see 32 player deathmatches or something similar. This is of course just speculation and does go against what Rockstar have already stated.
Other news that has circulated due to players messing around with GTA V's files includes PS4 and PC framework

The release date for Call of Duty Ghosts isn't very far away at all now, but a lot of the game is still under wraps. We all know we're going to be getting a lot of what previous Call of Duty games were about, and we understand about the new inclusion of dogs within multiplayer and the campaign, but there are still many other details we're missing out on.
Achievements for the game have been leaked and it gives us an insight into what we may be doing on COD Ghosts when it finally comes out.
The achievements hint at a few interesting scenarios within the campaign story mode. It looks as if the game will include levels with hacking, stealth, underwater combat, destroying helicopters, destroying ships, commandeering space stations and shooting guys off the side of a train, among other things.
The achievement list is below-
- Ghost Stories (5) - Escape. (Complete "Ghost Stories" on any difficulty.)

The Dead Rising series has always been about killing zombies by getting all sorts of trash lying about the world and turning them into crazy weapons you'd never expect to think about using in real life, and Dead Rising 3 seeks to continue on with the Dead Rising crazy weapons legacy.
Microsoft has revealed a new feature in Dead Rising 3 that will take weapon crafting, zombie smashing and pretty much anything else to do with your survival to the next level.
Microsoft wrote the following: a new tier of Combo Weapons that requires at least three components (and oftentimes multiple steps and blueprints) to craft, and features unique abilities that let you decimate crowds of zombies with devastating effect. Examples include the Ultimate Powershout, a deadly concussive horn made of traffic cones; the Ultimate Grim Reaper, a flaming scythe made of a katana sword, a scythe, a gas canister and a mask; and the Massive Bomb, a mini-nuke that obliterates every zombie in your vicinity
