Capcom has revealed this week that their next gen graphically impressive title, Deep Down will be available on the PlayStation 4 as a free to play game.
This information was revealed at this year's Tokyo Game Show and Shuhei Yoshida, Sony Worldwide Studios President, has announced on Twitter that an open beta for the game will be available close to the launch of the console in Japan, which is in February next year.
Yoshida didn't mention whether the beta would be exclusive to Japan, but it sounds as if it will be available worldwide. Deep Down is a next gen action game that produces randomly generated dungeons for players to fight through.
The game is based off of a medieval-like fantasy world where warriors called Ravens travel back to the dark days to fight their way to fortune.
Not much has been given about the game yet and Capcom have barely shown any gameplay content to the public as of this point so it's incredibly difficult to work out

A glitch has been found in Grand Theft Auto V that can potentially award the player with an infinite supply of cash. Players will be able to find briefcases of money hidden around the world which carry cash varying between 10 thousand and 25 thousand dollars and can pick them up to receive the money inside.
However, the glitch can allow the player to repeatedly collect the money from the suitcase over and over again, and surprisingly, the glitch is incredibly easy to do. This glitch can be done with any suitcase found within the world, but the largest amount of money found in a suitcase so far is the $25 thousand case, so it's much quicker to do the glitch with this case instead of others.
The hardest part of this glitch is actually finding the suitcase of money in the first place- the $25k suitcase can be found underwater directly on this spot:

Rockstar has released an app into the iTunes app store that goes alongside the main Grand Theft Auto 5 game. You will be able to use the iFruit app to look at news about the game, check in with social club once it's available in October, and also use interactive features to change happenings in the main game.
Firstly you'll be able to look after Chop, a dog in the game owned by one of Franklin's friends. You'll be able to teach him tricks, pet him, feed him and look after his wellbeing. This will change the way Chop acts in the main game.
Secondly, you'll be able to customize and purchase vehicles from within iFruit. You'll be able to add the same level of customization to your own vehicles as you can in the main game, and once you next play the game, the newly changed vehicle will be ready for you in your garage.
Currently this app is only available for iPhone and iPad in the iTunes store, but Rockstar plan to release Android, PS Vita, and Windows Phone versions in

Sony has pushed through with its Vita branding and it has managed to make success out of a seemingly dead market. To improve the Vita name even more, Sony has pushed once again, and this time they have come out with something called the VitaTV.
The VitaTV is a streaming box that will be able to be purchased for just $100. However unlike other streaming boxes, it will allow owners to connect it to their TV and play PS Vita games, PS One Classics and PSP games on the big TV with a standard Dualshock 3 controller.
Amazingly you'll also be able to stream content straight from the PlayStation 4 as well. This will open up new routes for the PlayStation 4. For example, you could play split screen games across the house on multiple displays but with just one PS4 console, or easily play your PS4 games in any room in the house without having to move the console.
We'll most likely hear more about the VitaTV at TGS, and hopefully hear about a release

Rockstar's new Grand Theft Auto V is so large that two discs are needed for the Xbox 360 version of the game. The PlayStation 3 version of the game which uses a BluRay disc that can hold more data only requires one disc.
The two discs on the Xbox 360 version each have their own roles. There is both a "play" disc and an "install" disc, and as the name suggests, players are required to install the install disc before they can play the game with the other disc.
Rockstar have warned Xbox 360 owners that there may be performance issues if you try to install the play disc as well. On Rockstar's support twitter account, a tweet was posted saying "For optimal performance, we recommend not installing that disc. We will have more info on our Support Site at launch." In regards to whether installing the play disc is a good idea or not.
This also means that those who want to play the game will need to ensure they have enough space on their hard drive (8GB) and if they don't they

It seems Sony has run into another stock problem. Again. However this time it's not all that bad because instead of it being a real lack of stock, Sony are stopping pre-orders so that they have a decent amount of consoles available for customers who may want to buy it in-store or online after launch day.
Sony wants to be able to keep stock available throughout the holiday season and they believe that holding back stock now will help them to ensure that there are PS4's on the shelves every day.
"We want to make sure people can buy a PS4 on November 15 and through the holidays," SCE America's Jack Tretton said. "So, we're holding back some inventory to make sure people will be able to buy one.
"We can pre-sell every unit we can manufacture, and the good news is that production yields have been phenomenal. We're going to work very hard to make sure that every consumer that wants one gets one."
Hopefully this won't make much a difference

Not sure whether to order yourself a copy of FIFA 14, Madden 25 or Battlefield 4 for the current generation consoles or next generation? Luckily there isn't going to be much of a difference between qualities of each version for all three of these games so you won't be missing out on anything if you do get it for current gen, but if you plan on buying it for next gen, you'll have to wait longer, and this is because the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 won't be available till after the release of FIFA 14, Madden 25 and Battlefield 4 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
You won't have to wait that long if you're wanting to play either of these games on the next generation though, and COO of EA, Peter Moore, has said in a blog post that FIFA 14, Madden 25 and Battlefield 4 will make it to both the Xbox One and PS4 before launch date.
That means you'll be able to bag yourself these three games within November, however the specific

Grand Theft Auto V has only just come out and players are already delving deep into the games roots to find out about any cheat codes that may be lying around. And unsurprisingly, cheat codes have been found.
Cheat codes have always been around since the origins of the Grand Theft Auto series and they have been here to stay all the way throughout so it makes sense that Grand Theft Auto V is no exception.
In GTA V, the cheats sound like a whole lot of fun, so whether you've got the game just to mess around, or you plan on having some fun after completing the game, make sure to check back to this post because there'll be down waiting for you.
GTA V uses the traditional method of using cheats instead of the phone system that was used in GTA IV, so you'll have to activate cheat codes by tapping buttons in-game. Here are five of the best cheats available in-game for both Xbox 360 and PS3.
PS3 Run Faster- TRIANGLE, LEFT, RIGHT, RIGHT, L2, L1, SQUARE

Despite Rockstar pleading to the public to not leak their game, even they didn't doubt that the game would probably get leaked and torrented before release. And the result of leaked copies of the game selling before the release is filled with clips and footage of the game all over the internet on websites like Youtube, Facebook, Reddit and Instagram.
Rockstar are trying their hardest to remove the footage, but because there are so many different people uploading footage, it's going to be pretty difficult.
It's become a trend to see popular games leak before their release date. For example, people were playing Halo 4 on the Xbox 360 at least a week before it actually came out. Microsoft responded to this harshly by banning any accounts that showed online play history of the game before the release date.
Rockstar doesn't have the manpower or backing by either Microsoft or Sony to do this so it's likely leaks will lead up to the game's release. The cause of this is mainly
