The Phantom Pain's story "more than 200x bigger than Ground Zeroes".
Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes is too small, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is too big - is Kojima Productions currently being run by a blonde woman and three bears? Because that would explain a fair bit, actually.

More to come at GDC?.
Microsoft has filed applications with the United States Patent & Trademarks Office for two new "game software" trademarks - Tentacles: Enter the Mind and Ori and the Blind Forest. Pretty mystifying, no?
Gearbox hands its psychotic baby over to Telltale for a gun-light reworking.
Telltale Games pulled a classic bait-and-switch at the otherwise-awful VGX show, with an announcement that everyone assumed would be the new Game of Thrones series.

But call Borderlands straight-faced, and it'll laugh hysterically, and bite your nose off.
Developer also compares his development team to the characters in Breaking Bad.
Hideo Kojima has said that his upcoming open-world sneak 'em up Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes won't shy away from themes people consider "sensitive". Kojima explained "If we don't cross that line, if we don't make attempts to express what we really want to express, games will only be games."

The Batmobile! Chained takedowns! Smashable glass! Other stuff!.
Much like Batman stringing up a series of goons by their ankles, the residents of NeoGAF have plucked a range of Batman: Arkham Knight details from the latest issue of Game Informer. Tell me, have you ever wanted to eject from the seat of a rocket-powered tank in order to smash through a window at freak velocity and kick a robber in the kidneys? Because you'll be able to, providing you own an Xbox One, PS4 or appropriately muscle-bound PC, later this year.
Xbox 360 version should receive the same level of support.

That hideous bang you heard just now? That's the sound of minds being blown - either that, or you've forgotten to turn the gas off again. Team Dakota's game creation sim Project Spark goes live today on Xbox One, allowing users to sculpt, play and share entire worlds for the very reasonable price of absolutely nothing whatsoever.
