Source: http://www.gamespot.com/news/take-two-hints-at-red-dead-redemption-2-6412272 During a recent earnings call, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick teased that Red Dead Redemption could be a potential franchise. "It's been our goal not just to preserve and grow the Grand Theft Auto franchise, but also to build other franchises that we think can be permanent, whether that's the Red Dead franchise or the Borderlands franchise or the Borderlands franchise or the Bioshock franchise or others, Civilization for example. Our goal is to try to create permanent franchises, that's the unique goal in the industry. Our competitors do not see it that way. Our competitors' view is that our franchise will have a certain life, and at the end of that life, you move onto the next thing, so you better make hay while the sun shines.  Our view is

Good morning everyone. Happy Hump Day! Today we got a surprise trailer for Arkham Origins, Microsoft has confirmed that the Xbox One will be compatible with current-gen headsets and Nintendo's quarterly revenue has gone down. Let's begin with Batman. Arkham Origins Multiplayer Earlier this morning a trailer was uploaded to the internet that revealed the next Batman game is going to have multiplayer. 3 v 3 v 2. Two teams of 3 are battling each other while two players will play as Batman and Robin. Batman and Robin are hunting down both teams while said teams are hunting down the other. I assume that both teams are fighting each other for a chance to take out the Dynamic Duo, whichever team is standing to take out the Dynamic Duo wins. At least that's my theory on the multiplayer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Xbox One Compatible with Current-Gen Headsets Source: http://www.polygon.co

Good afternoon everyone. I have been very curious about Dishonored. I have heard so many good things about this game. The game was on sale recently on Xbox Live and I bought the game. At first I was concerned thinking that my money spent was for nothing, after playing Dishonored, why didn't I buy this game sooner.... I present to you. My review of 2012's Dishonored. Story Set in the industrial city of Dunwall, you play as Corvo Attano, a legendary bodyguard to the Empress of Dunwall.

Corvo in turn is framed for killing the Empress by the Spymaster, who takes the title of Lord Rege

Good morning folks. Before I begin this, take this story with a grain of salt. The article from EuroGamer claims that Digital Foundry got documents from "a well placed development source," it's an unnamed source. Digital Foundry has been know to give "falsies" in the past from "well placed sources" this has not been confirmed by Sony Source: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-ps3-system-software-memory According to the article, the PS4 will reserve 3.5GB of the 8GB GDDR5 memory for the operating system, leaving 4.5 GB of space for game code. However, further sources suggest that an additional 1GB of "flexible memory" may be reclaimed from the OS reservation, based on availability, making 5.5GB potentially accessible. Internal Sony documents suggest that 4.5GB is the "baseline amount of guaranteed memory available" for games, but the additional 1GB of "flexible memory" can be used by de

Good evening everyone. Sony has announced that they will begin to host quarterly indie developers events at Sony offices in London later this year.

Good evening everyone. Tonight we will be going into Borderlands 2, we'll be taking a look at the weapons meant for a cowboy. The Jakobs weapons.               "If it takes more than one shot,                             you weren't using a Jakobs!!!" Manufacturer Origins The Jakobs Corporation has held to certain values through the years. Family. Honor. Always aiming for the head. The founder Montgomery Jakobs always believed in damage above all else, accuracy, recoil and elemental effects is pointless. There's nothing better than a big bullet that can tear a man's head clean off, any Jakobs weapon you will find will generally have more damage than any other manufacturer. Each weapon you find will be semi-automatic with moderate recoil but devastating damage, you'll be able to blast a robot in half with one shot from a Jakobs shotgun. Weaponry In Borderlands 2, you will only find Assault Rifles, Shotguns, Sniper Rifles and

Good afternoon everyone. Today I've got info on the console DVR record time for both the PS4 and Xbox One. Source: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/07/ps4-records-more-gameplay-than-xbox-one/ During an interview with Gamespot, Microsoft Studios creative director Ken Lobb, gave us insight to how long of footage you can record with the console DVR of the Xbox One. "It's called Project Upload. So the idea is you're always recording, so we have a ring buffer game DVR, basically. So the last five minutes of any game you're playing is always being stored locally on your hard drive." However if you want to record the last 30 seconds of footage meanwhile you're playing  online, you can say "Xbox Record" the console DVR will record the last 30 seconds of what happened in the game. On the other side of the aisle, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe R&D head Neil Brown said at the Develop Conference earlier this month that the PS4
