Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 5 is almost ready for its re-release on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and as usual, the developer-publisher has been busily teasing the improvements with a swathe of blog posts and preview clips. We already knew that the title would offer a in-vehicle first-person mode, bringing the gaming experience somewhat in line with Call of Duty, Titanfall and the many other famed FPS games, but the reality of this feature is even better, with first-person mode set to be a part of the on-foot experience as well as inside the numerous modes of transport.
Rockstar Games took the gaming world by storm last year with the release of Grand Theft Auto 5, and having posted record sales through the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, has spent the majority of the past twelve months prepping a version for the next-gen consoles. The PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC edition of GTA 5 will be much more than just a mere up-scaling of the visual aspect, Rockstar has promised, and what we've seen so far in screen caps has been nothing short of impressive. With the release period now closing in on the console editions - the PC release won't arrive until early next year - more details have begun to emerge of some of the treats that returning next-gen GTA 5 users can expect to enjoy.
Call of Duty : Advanced Warfare will be the next major installment of the popular first-person shooter when it arrives next month, and already, we have what appears to be a launch trailer. It's somewhat unusual for these kind of clips to hit the blogosphere a full fortnight ahead of release, but if you're waiting on tenterhooks for Activision's next blockbuster, check out the latest teaser below.
If you're approaching this festive season with one eye on purchasing a low-cost laptop or an extremely cheap Android tablet then it could be worth holding off on the usual - but somewhat limited - options.
Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto 5 well and truly blew every previous video game release out of the water with its record-smashing release in late 2013. Having been pushed back from spring until September, the publisher teased some slick visuals at every opportunity throughout last year, and when it dropped, hordes of gamers went out to pick it up. Shortly after, though, both the PS4 and Xbox One hit the scene, with Rockstar promising that an updated and enhanced version would arrive for the two major consoles as well as PC, and now, we have firm dates for each. Details, as ever, can be seen below.
Alienware, the American computer hardware outfit owned by Dell Inc., has announced that its first Steam Machine will be available for the public to get its hands on in November. The Alienware Alpha looks likely to be the first commercially available Steam Machine when it launches, but rather than being built on top of Valve's SteamOS, the Alpha hardware will be reliant on Microsoft's Windows 8.1 operating system. The curiosities doesn’t stop there either as Alienware looks to penetrate the PC gaming market with a Steam Machine that is likely to differ vastly from the initial crop that hit the market.
Intel's new fanless, ultra-slim 14nm Broadwell processors should be ready for action later on this fall, with the chip maker having today released a few additional details. The run-down of some newly-unveiled tech specs can be seen after the fold.
Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto 5 was by far and away the biggest gaming release last year, grossing well over one billion dollars in the first three days alone. Having arrived in September, though, it hit the market just before the arrival of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and as such, even the sumptuous visuals that Rockstar spent years slaving over could do with upscaling. Thankfully, we know that a high-def, vastly improved edition will be hitting the two new consoles later on this year, along with a PC edition, and as per Amazon.de, we may now have the official date.
