It has long since been known that a new, up-scaled and improved version of Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto 5 would be rolled out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in due course, and earlier this month, we got official confirmation of the release dates. The console edition will be headed our way on November 18th, with the Windows edition set to début on January 27th, but while PC users might still have a bit of a wait on their hands, we're now getting more information on just how much better this new version will be.
Tech and fashion are always combining, and you only have to look at the recent introduction of the Apple Watch, notably the Watch Edition series, for evidence of this union. But while the market for wearables will undoubtedly force vendors to collaborate with fashion houses, the new custom PS4 Nike Air Jordans are something quite remarkable.
It's a tad early in the life cycle of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One for the yearning for new color configurations to begin. But with Microsoft having already confirmed that a white edition of its newest console courtesy of the Sunset Overdrive bundle, it's likely that we'll begin to see all manner of different variants as both Sony and Microsoft look to broaden appeal. If you happen to live in Dubai, however, you can already pick up both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in shiny gold, and given that real rose gold is used in the modification process as opposed to gold plating, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that it costs a bomb.
Although Sony's PlayStation Vita has largely been forgotten thanks to the boom in smartphone and tablet gaming along with the PS4's rise to prominence, the Japanese outfit behind the handheld is still working to improve the experience. Throughout many markets, particularly in Japan, the Vita remains at the fore of the gaming world, and with the Tokyo Game Show about to kick off, Sony has taken the wraps off a new feature that will allow PS4 users to beam gameplay directly to the Vita.
With Gamescom ongoing, Sony is showing off some of the games that will be coming to the PlayStation 4 in the coming months. Even with all the big name titles flying around though, Sony CEO Jim Ryan found time to give gamers a little sneak peak at what they will be able to play with as part of the PS4's fall update.
The Call of Duty games are always some of the most highly anticipated around, and with Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare being the first to be designed for the next generation from the ground up, all eyes are on what the title will be able to bring to the table.
Destiny, the new game by the people behind Halo, Bungie, is currently in the midst of a public beta. The early version that is currently playable lets gamers create their own character and then go on some multiplayer killing sprees against not just computer-controlled AI, but also other gamers. Until now, the beta has been of the closed variety but now it's open to just about anyone, so no invite code is required.
The World Cup may have come to a close over the weekend after what has been, by all accounts, an epic tournament, but for football / soccer fans, it was only a precursor to the season upcoming. We're approaching that time of the year when, for Europe and many other parts of the world, the games are about to commence, and on cue, the launch of the new FIFA title. Lionel Messi, Argentina's talisman, may have just missed out on the sport's most coveted prize, but he can take some solace in the fact that as well as scooping the official award for best player, he's also the face of FIFA 15.
If there's one thing about Sony's PlayStation 4 that is undoubtedly better than its predecessor, it's the DualShock 4 controller. The third-generation DualShock came in quite a lot of criticism, and rightly so, and the folks in Japan clearly paid attention to that criticism because, thankfully, the DualShock 4 is a much better proposition, which means you might want to use it with your PlayStation 3, too.
Grand Theft Auto 5 has been a monumental success for Rockstar Games, having broken all sorts of sales records following its release late last year. With a next-gen version for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, as well as the PC also in the pipeline, GTA fans remain very much engaged with this immensely popular title, and none perhaps more so than the guys at Zapruder Pictures. In Spain's capital city of Madrid, the folks of Zapruder have parodied the entire trailer in real life, and the result, as you'll see below, is truly something to admire.
