, Feb 18th 2013 Discuss [0]

If you've heard anything about the upcoming "game changer" title set to be produced by Bungie over the next 10 years in installments with Activision, you know that it certainly wouldn't make sense for the whole series to be appearing on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. In fact the first installment will be on those two consoles, but essentially everything afterward has been confirmed in legal documents to be hitting no less than the PlayStation 4, the Xbox 720, and the PC. The information that reveals said bits and pieces comes from a Call of Duty legal dispute where the contract between Activision and Bungie had to be unsealed. Read The Full Story

PlayStation 4 controller prototype leaked with touchpad

, Feb 14th 2013 Discuss [0]

Today a lovely new look at the PlayStation 4 from a controller perspective - a prototype of what very much appears to be the real deal for the upcoming next-gen console. This piece of hardware has been traced back to Destructoid where just as much questioning about its authenticity is being done as we'll be doing here. Though there's no way of knowing if this is a final release edition or if this is merely a temporary casing for what will be a much more slimmed-down iteration of the final PlayStation 4 controller, we do have some clues here as to what we'll be seeing.

While Take-Two chief executive officer Strauss Zelnick's words didn't explicitly confirm nor deny the idea that the Xbox 720 or PlayStation 4 will exist in the very near future, the idea that GTA:V will be released on those mystical machines seems to have been clearly dashed.

PlayStation 4: What Sony must do

, Feb 1st 2013 Discuss [0]

If you believe the hype, then Sony will be revealing the next PlayStation in just a few short weeks at a February 20 event. The announcement of a new console is all well and good, but once the party’s over and the reveal has been made, Sony then faces the difficult task of making the next PlayStation successful in the new generation. It’s something of a blank slate – the other competitors in the console space are releasing new machines as well, so the platform wars can begin anew. Sony did a lot of good things with the PS3, but in order to make the PS4 a smashing success, it’s going to need to ramp it up in a few areas.
