Polyphony Digital Celebrate their 15th anniversary with the Announcement of Gran Turismo 6

15/5/2013

 
One of the worse kept secrets in gaming was today officially revealed at the prestigious Silverstone race circuit. The creator of the 70+ million selling franchise Kazunori Yamauch took Gran Turismo's 15th anniversary as an opportunity to make racing fans around the world sing out in chorus "Take my money".
Picture
The games upgrades are a list of changes that most GT5 veterans are desperate to see developers of the beloved franchise bring to their title.

This is spear headed by the annoucement of a new UI and compact game engine allowing improved performance and will also allow for a greater scope for downloadable content.
As with previous titles the list of cars is substantial to say the least. A reported 1200+ cars await the avid collectors out there. However there is also going to be increased customisation giving those with an artistic vein the chances to show off their talent.
The Gallery below shows some of the new cars that will be added to many a garage including the KTM X-Bow one of my favourite cars.

Rugby Challenge 2; The Lions Release Date Announced

14/5/2013

 
Picture
Home Entertainment Suppliers Pty Ltd (HES) today announced that  Rugby Challenge 2 will get a worldwide release on the 13th of June 2013.
This is a great piece of news for those of us in the northern hemisphere who had a long delay when the first rugby challenge was released. The release date means the game will come out two weeks into the tour. So you will be able to play the NSW Waratahs at the same time as the Lions.
With some great enhancements and some basics that were missing from the first game incorporated into this edition the hope is this will do the greatest game on earth (writers opinion) justice.

Battlefield 4 Fishing In Baku Screenshot

9/5/2013

This recently released screenshot from Dice is a great way to wet the appetite for Battlefield 4.
From the hazy view down the corridor to the way the light is reflecting off of the pools of water on the floor the attention to detail is astounding.
However the question a lot of us have is how will it look on the consoles both this and next generation? Hopefully we will find out in due course but for now we can dream this kind of visual will become our gaming norm.
