Rockstar sequel rumored to put players in control of a handful of characters, return to the sunny part of the West Coast.
Individual Grand Theft Auto releases have traditionally put players in the role of a singular protagonist. A recent report suggests the next entry in the series may provide a few different playable perspectives on the game’s story, while returning to familiar territory with its setting.
Yesterday’s announcement of Rockstar’s latest provided nothing more than a logo, but citing a “source familiar with the game,” Kotaku reports the game will purportedly use Los Angeles as its city of inspiration and will feature more than one protagonist. It would not be the first time Rockstar turned to LA for ideas, as the West Coast metropolis loomed large as a clear muse for the fictional California microcosm of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
While GTAV could be the first title in the series to tell its primary story through multiple characters, the idea isn’t entirely unprecedented. Grand Theft Auto IV focused on the story of Niko Bellic, but subsequent expansions depicted Liberty City from the viewpoints of two more characters. The Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories PSP games also returned to cities from the main console versions of the series, but with new characters driving the story.
This is not the first suggestion that GTAV could return to an LA-inspired setting. In March, reports linked a casting call for voice roles in an interactive project codenamed “Rush” to Rockstar’s next game. Those listings described a motley crew of California characters, including the return of GTA: San Andreas character James Pedeaston.
Whatever the setting, it’s likely to be revealed soon. The first GTAV trailer is set to be released November 2.
There’s a launch trailer floating about – it’s been around for a few days now, but it’s still not out for another couple of weeks – for a game called Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Whatever that might be.
This is, of course, the first game in the official Modern Warfare franchise not to be made by the original team at Infinity Ward. Instead it’s a joint effort of the IW leftovers, Activision’s go-to supply developer Raven, and the Dead Space veterans-containing Sledgehammer Games. With the CoD B-team, Treyarch, only working on the Wii version of this one, it’s essentially a new staff on what is unquestionably the biggest FPS franchise in the world. As they so immodestly point out in the trailer below:
What does it mean when a launch trailer appears two weeks before the game is launched? It means the world’s all messed up. I also like the classy sting for 360 on the end there. Fuck you, PC and PS3 gamers!
Now everyone below write angry comments about how you hate this game, and secretly check if your pre-order is still there.

Well, The War of the Worlds is finally nearly upon us. And here’s the launch trailer. Mainly, we’re all in it for the Patrick Stewartness of it, but still, I want to play now.
In The Adventures of Tintin: The Game, you will play as Tintin, the intrepid reporter and hero of the action-packed movie The Adventures of Tintin…..Did i say ‘Tintin’ enough there?
To coincide with the release of Peter Jackson’s upcoming animated Tintin movie, Ubisoft have been working on a video game adaptation of the same titled The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn – The Game that’s available now.
The game much like the movie will be loosely based on a bunch of Tintin comics such as The Crab with Golden Claws, The Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rackham’s Treasure and will offer players a “unique blend of platforming, exploration and puzzle-solving”. Kind of like Uncharted without the awesome.
In addition to the campaign, players can enjoy a stand-alone co-operative mode that’ll take place in Captain Haddock’s dream world as well as a Challenge mode where they’ll embark upon a bunch of challenges against the clock.
Sonic CD bridges the gap between his oldest adventures and his new digital exploits.
Back in August, we received the squeal-inducing news that Sega was readying a port of the classic Sonic CD for downloadable markets on home consoles and mobile. And by mobile, that meant it was coming to the App Store. But, this isn’t shaping up to be just a mere port. Instead, Sega has enlisted the work of Christian Whitehead, a gifted software programmer who basically created his own game engine from scratch that was capable of running Sonic CD (among many other things, I’m sure) on multiple platforms with all sorts of optimizations and enhancements.
There’s a lot to look forward to in Need For Speed: The Run. They’ve got Porsches, an interesting plot, and, oh, did we forget to mention a completely digital Christina Hendricks? That’s a lot of polygons. But doesn’t it feel like something’s missing?
Electronic Arts, the game’s producers, are going to let the (mostly) guys who play these action racing games gawk at a digitized version of Christine Hendricks — famous for being the busty redhead from Mad Men and the busty redhead from Drive. We only have one photo of Hendricks in the game, but it’s hard to ignore her uncanny valley is a little less uncanny.
If that’s the case, it’ll be a first video games, which has a strange habit of giving women completely unworkable anatomy. (Ahem, Lara Croft.)
But more importantly than seeing a fake version of Hendricks, you’ll get to hear the real thing as she whispers commands into your earhole. Get ready for the sexiest gaming voiceover since Betty White appeared on Hollywood Squares.
Impressive Grand Theft Auto IV mods are nothing new, but this one—which turns the fictional Liberty City into a very real, very beautiful New York City—is really impressive.
OK, so here’s what it does: First up, it replaces advertising and store signs with ones you’d actually find in the Big Apple. But it also greatly improves the game’s visuals in just about every respect.
The mod’s creator, Gionight, says that it’s “just a beast visually” and yet doesn’t “eat much resources at the same time”.
