GTA V First person mode included in Next-Gen.....

It was rumored before, but this is still sort of surreal to write: the upcoming current-gen remake of Grand Theft Auto V will have a first-person mode.

check out the trailer: 

Yep, if you decide to purchase Rockstar's massive open-world game again, you can experience it all in first-person, from bank robbery to bike stunts to airplane theft. Rockstar tells us that GTA Online will support first-person mode, too.

Rockstar announced the mode today on IGN, where they've got a trailer showing how you'll be able to play as GTA's trio of degenerates from a more personal perspective. Footage shows the player driving, shooting, and flying in first-person, which is hardly new for a video game but definitely new for Grand Theft Auto

SINGSTAR : ULTIMATE PARTY Launch Trailer

SingStar is a competitive music video game series for PlayStation consoles, developed by London Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Dozens of instalments were released for the PlayStation 2, and several more for the PlayStation 3. The games have also undergone a number of non-English releases in various European countries.

SingStar games are distributed either as the software alone, or bundled with a pair of USB microphones – one red, one blue; wireless microphones are also available. The games are compatible with the EyeToy and PlayStation Eye cameras, allowing players to see themselves singing.

SingStar games require players to sing along with music in order to score points. Players interface with their console via SingStar microphones while a music video plays in the background. The pitch players are required to sing is displayed as horizontal grey bars, which function similar to a musical stave, with corresponding lyrics displayed at the bottom of the screen. The game analyses a player's pitch and compares it to the original track, with players scoring points based on how accurate their singing is. Different modes of SingStar may vary this basic pattern, but the principle is similar throughout.

SingStar includes a variety of game modes. The standard singing mode allows one or two people to sing simultaneously, either competitively or in a duet. The game also offers a "Pass the Mic" mode, which allows up to eight people to play a series of rounds in two teams. The original SingStar for PlayStation 2 also featured "Star Maker", a single player career mode, however this was dropped in subsequent releases due to the popularity of the multiplayer and party modes^.

The PlayStation 3 versions of the game also support trophies, earned through achieving specific objectives.

FINAL FANTASY TYPE-O Trailer Revealed....

Final Fantasy Type-0is an action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix for PlayStation Portable, and later for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The original version was released in Japan in October 2011. The high-definition port, Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, is to be released worldwide in March 2015. Type-0is part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis subseries, a set of games sharing a common mythos which includes Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XV. The gameplay is reminiscent of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, with the player taking direct control of characters and taking them on missions and large-scale battles. Some differences between the original and HD releases are the removal of the original multiplayer feature and an easier difficulty level.

The story focuses on Class Zero, a group of twelve students from the Vermillion Peristylium, a magical academy in the Dominion of Rubrum. One day, the Militesi Empire launches an assault on the other Crystal States of Orience, seeking to control their respective crystals. When Rubrum is attacked, Class Zero are called into action and become entangled in both the efforts to push back and defeat the forces of Militesi, and the secret behind the war and the existence of the crystals. The setting and presentation were inspired by historical documentaries, and the story itself was written to be darker than other Final Fantasy titles.

The game was originally announced as a title for mobile phones and PSP called Final Fantasy Agito XIII . It is directed by Hajime Tabata, who also directed Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII. It was designed to provide players with easy access to the Fabula Nova Crystallis mythos. The mobile version was eventually cancelled and its title was changed to distance it from Final Fantasy XIII, the subseries' flagship title. Type-0 HD began development in mid-2012 as part of a move to promote the next generation of gaming consoles. The original game has received strong sales and positive reception in Japan, inspiring multiple tie-in mangas. A prequel/companion game, Final Fantasy Agito, was released in May 2014 in Japan.

Fiinal Fantasy Type-0 is an action role-playing video game in which the player controls the fourteen members of Class Zero. Players can navigate Orience both a world map and environments rendered to scale with the characters similar to Final Fantasy XII and XIII. Class Zero are sent on missions across Orience during the course of the game, both related to the story and independent of it. The player originally travels to preset destinations in the world on an airship supplied by the Vermillion Peristylium, but they eventually gain their own airship which can freely navigate the world map, after defeating a

DRAGONBALL : XENOVERSE

Dragon Ball Xenoverse (officially abbreviated as Dragon Ball XV) is an upcoming video game based on the Dragon Ball media franchise.It will be released on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows. Xenoverse will also be the first Dragon Ball game released on some eighth generation consoles as well as PC

Battles are set in full 3D destructible environments. Fighters can traverse the levels free-roaming in very large spaces and can be fighting on a platform, go in the air, and fight underwater. They run when on the ground, and swim while underwater. Xenoverse has dialogue while fights go on, and fighters show facial expressions when they strike an opponent or take damage. The players have some freedom to explore the planet Earth as it exists in the Dragon Ball universe along with a handful of other locations, including a mysterious new city which is the point of origin for the game's new character.

The game's new character is confirmed to be a player created character. With the character customization, players will now be able to customize their character's race, gender, head, build, and clothing. Player's custom characters for the Story Mode can be five race types: Saiyan, Earthling, Majin, Namekian and Frieza's race. Players will be able to visit the futuristic Tokitoki City, meet up with other players and take on cooperative, time-traveling missions.

The PS4 and Xbox One versions of Dragon Ball: Xenoverse also include unique gameplay features proper to this generation of consoles. Players can also become apprentices of the original Dragon Ball anime characters to equip over 200 special moves and 450 costumes items.

Unlike the previous games of the series that usually follow the original Dragon Ball canon, "Xenoverse" will feature an entire new story, including a player created character  not seen anywhere else in the franchise. The 2014 V-Jump #7, which announces the game, draws attention to a mysterious figure watching the first battle between Goku and Vegeta from the shadows. With red hair, a scouter, and the Capsule Corporation logo on his sleeve, this character's identity was not clear. However after some time it was revealed that this mysterious warrior is in fact a created character thus confirming character creation for Dragonball Xenoverse. Another returning character is Time Patrol Trunks from Dragon Ball Online, who makes a full playable appearance. Two new areas are also showcased: a completely new Hyperbolic Time Chamber like area named the Time Storage Vault, and the other being a high-tech city with what appears to be a Time Machine landed on it. The story is revealed to be about mysterious forces manipulating history, with the player being tasked with restoring the timeline.

FINAL FANTASY XV TGS 2014 Trailer

It's been almost a year and a half since our last proper look at Final Fantasy XV, but judging by this new trailer, it was well worth the wait.

At the start of Tokyo Game Show 2014, Square-Enix released this stunning new look at the much-anticipated RPG. While that initial trailer at E3 2013 highlighted the game's new action-focused battle system, this new look showcases some of XV's quieter moments. This brief car ride around the game's gorgeous world acts like more of a tone piece to what Square-Enix is going for in this  new game.Also the new trailer reveals the combat techniques and moves in a different way.It is seen that Noctis uses a dashing technique similar to the Flying Raijin Jutsu of Minato Namikaze from Naruto shippuden.Graphic details of monstrous creatures and people are also explained more than the previous trailer. 

Aside from news of the game's new director and when we can expect to play the demo, we'll have much more on Final Fantasy XV and Final Fantasy Type-0 throughout the week as TGS 2014 rolls on. 

INFAMOUS FIRST LIGHT Thing you need to know....

inFamous: First Light is a standalone downloadable content video game developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. The game was announced at E3 2014 and will be available for PlayStation 4 on August 26th, 2014 in North America and August 27th, 2014 in Europe. Abigail Walker, a young conduit in the D.U.P.'s custody in their prison Curdun Cay, is ordered to give a demonstration of her powers to one Brooke Augustine whom using the powers ofanother conduit "generously" supplies holographic foes for Abigail to kill.

Once that is done Abigail is told to tell the events that led up to her arrest. 7 years earlier Abigail was one of the first of the new Conduits who emerge following The Beast's rampage across the countryside.

Although her parents tried to cope at first they were left with few options after Abigail injured one of her classmates by mistake. Abigail's older brother Brent Walker immediately grabbed Abigail and ran away with her, the pair turned to drug use to cope but Brent eventually got clean, even going as far as to hide Abigail's stash to help her get clean as well. Brent also made Abigail keep the use of her powers to a minimum to avoid suspicion.

For years Brent worked for gangs to acquire enough funds to buy a boat and sneak across the border from Seattle to Canada where the D.U.P.'s authority doesn't extend to. Unfortunately Two years ago, at the point where the plot was supposed to be completed the gang of Russian mobsters known as the Akuransdestroyed the boat, took Brent hostage, and almost killed Abigail with a bomb.

WWE 2K15 Details Revealed

Last year, WWE 2K14 electrified with its sprawling campaign mode, 30 Years of Wrestlemania. 2K15 is looking to tell a more focused, up-close-and-personal story than the broad historic view offered in 2K14. 2K Showcase will be broken up into two episodes, each one focusing in tightly on an epic rivalry from the WWE’s past. Think of them as mini-documentaries of a sort. Could it be Rock vs Austin? Undertaker vs Kane? 2K hasn't spilled the beans just yet, but rest assured we'll be the first to know, and when we do, so will you. If the excellent 30 Years of Wrestlemania was any indication, though, the authenticity of the presentation will make these rivalries a treat to play through.

In addition to reliving these golden WWE memories, you'll finally have a true, discreet career mode for your created wrestlers in MyCareer. This mode has been lifted from NBA 2K14 and adapted to the WWE environment. While I didn't think the mode had the right synergy with the NBA, the WWE seems like a logical place to apply it. Imagine replacing all those cheese-ball, amateur hour characters and cutscenes with authentically voiced and mo-capped WWE Superstars. You get the picture. Exact details of the mode are still forthcoming, but we do know that it will be on the current-gen version only. Sorry, 360/PS3 stalwarts.

No matter what version you play, though, you'll get to enjoy the fruits of Visual Concepts' involvement. Over 50 days worth of motion capture sessions went on at 2K's state-of-the-art mo-cap facility, where WWE Superstars spent hours getting their signature moves digitally recreated. All told, WWE 2K15 features five times (FIVE TIMES! FIVE TIMES!) the animation data of 2K14. Thankfully, just as much effort has gone into improving the way the game sounds, the color commentary in particular. Over four times as many lines were recorded this time around, which should go a long way towards spicing up what has consistently been one of the franchise's presentational low points.
