„Writing reviews for games that have been rereleased a year or two after their debut is often a difficult prospect, as one struggles to find new things to say. It’s telling, then, that I was able to find talking about Grand Theft Auto V‘s improvements so easy, eating up almost a thousand words on detailing all the advancements. More than perhaps any other game out there, GTA 5 cheats V could easily have gotten away with churning out a slightly better looking game and calling it a day. That a game could be guaranteed money no matter how slapdash the production, and still go above and beyond what other publishers have done this year, is incredibly laudable, and at least worth a golf clap. Even if you don’t care for the series, one cannot deny the pride Rockstar appears to have in its games. While I’d love 60fps, and could do with the overall controls feeling a little bit tighter, I can’t deny that Rockstar’s put the effort into this one, and it’s one of the few double downs I’d feel relatively confident recommending to those who’ve already played it. That, in itself, is profou
Chris Roberts is developing the spiritual success to Wing Commander and Freelancer with the record-breaking crowdfunded Star Citizen , Star Wars is coming back in a big way at Electronic Arts, CCP Games blew way the industry with EVE-VR at E3 2013, and these are only a few examples of the return of space sims. One other example is Interplay Entertainment Corporation's recent acquisition of the FreeSpace IP from now defunct publisher THQ and developer Volition. They managed to buy it for the shockingly low price of $7
The old saying claims that it's unwise to fix what ain't broke; but that thinking has no place in the world of AAA video games. In an industry where hardware and software improves in leaps and bounds, the arrival of next-gen home consoles hasn't led to just bigger and better looking releases. Publishers have already discovered that re-releasing past games with some upgrades and improvement is a viable option - and expectations are being rai
Subscription models and pay walls just don't work anymore. Nearly every major triple-A MMO game has had to drop paid subscriptions and outside of World of Warcraft and EVE Online , publishers are now relying on free-to-play models supporting by premium services and microtransactions to find success. Every game from EverQuest and Star Wars: The Old Republic to Lord of the Rings Online and Star Trek Online have embraced the switch and most new games coming out, including some making the jump to PlayStation 4 (see: Warframe, PlanetSide 2 & DC Universe Online ), are launching with the model in mind. So it's no surprise that RIFT , by Trion Worlds, has also gone fully free-to-play as well with „no trials, no tricks, no tra
The graphic nature of this encounter makes it even more chilling when a player decides to run a working girl over after his/her encounter with them. It might be a video game, but nevertheless, this act is pretty disturbing and is rather petty as well if one does it simply for the c
Yes, you can place a body under your tires and start doing a burnout. Your mouth with hit the floor as you stare in horror (or fascination if you're that kind of a person) as blood starts spraying all over the pl
Found on the eastern coast of San Andreas, not far from the Braddock Pass on Mount Gordo is a golden tree. While the tree appears to be normal during the day, at night its texture changes to a bright yellow that looks as if it is almost glowing. The tree is also so noticeably bright, that it can be easily seen from the highway.
For the current-gen re-release of GTAV, the resolution has been improved to 1080p at 30fps. The draw distance, level of detail and texture resolution have also all been increased. While the draw distance is still not perfect, it's a lot better than it was last-gen, with most objects coming into view when you'd actually be looking for them. The characters themselves look fantastic, with more facial detail and facial animations as well as higher resolution textures across their wardrobes. There's more pedestrians on the streets, making the world feel more alive. Even the animals have softer fur and there's more species to boot. If softer animal fur wasn't enough to get you excited, all of the TV shows and short films in the game have even been rendered in high-resolution. GTAV was always a great looking game, but Rockstar has done a great job bringing it into this generation and making the world all the more beautiful.
A week before E3, and more than halfway through its Kickstarter campaign to raise $1.35 million, Paul Caporicci, CEO and founder of Precursor Games, canceled the Kickstarter - which hadn't even crossed the 10% mark - and posted a message starting they're postponing the Kickstarter and will relaunch later with „new developments.“ We don't know the real reason behind the change, but part of the reasons was that they likely weren't going to meet the funding goal and wouldn't have raised any money this way. Part of the issue is the involvement of Denis Dyack and the resulting confusion of the studio's relationship to Silicon Knights, and the lack of clarity surrounding what the game would offer. It's going to relaunch with s lower funding goal at some point, but we don't know w
