"The Rat Loader and all its upgrades are available for free.".
Rockstar has released the promised Valentine's Day Massacre Special content for GTA 5 a little ahead of schedule. The goods can be nabbed for free as part of today's title update, 1.10, which will be detailed in full shortly.
"We'll see where the future leads us.".
Yes, yes - it's far too early to ask about Titanfall 2. I went and did it anyway. Respawn, unsurprisingly, doesn't have much to say on the subject right now.
But only in Canada and the US.
Microsoft will make all Gold-exclusive Xbox Live apps and services free to access this weekend, from 12am PT on Friday 14th February to 11.59pm PT on Sunday 16th February. That includes access to multiplayer, yes, and yes, it probably has not a little to do with the Titanfall Xbox One beta, which begins on Friday.
"We have barely touched on the maps in the game.".
Among the very few things that worry me about Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall is that we've only laid eyes on two maps to date. Will the game deliver enough content to satisfy, or will it be another Killer Instinct - glorious to play, but a little underfed?
"Now it's fixed. We're happy with it.".
We've already been given some hints as to a few of the changes we can expect in the Xbox One's upcoming UI patches - hell, we've made wish-lists of the things we're most eager to see be given an overhaul. But here's a fix we didn't see coming - this month's patch will also see Xbox One controllers be given improved sensitivity.
"Brace yourselves.".
The eternally cuddly Captain Price from Modern Warfare will soon appear in Call of Duty: Ghosts, if an Infinity Ward Tweet is any indication.
"If you are a knight of the City, this is your steed".
Well would you look at what's going on over at Bungie's official site. Behold the Shrike: every Guardian's personal transport vehicle.
But Respawn is apparently hoping to raise resolution before release.
Here you go, the spiciest news of the day: Respawn's Titanfall beta doesn't run at a native resolution of 1080p on Xbox One.
Also, witness Ed's embarrassing attempts at wall-running.
I went to play Titanfall recently, and was utterly brilliant at it. Honest. Granted, I had the occasional moment of complete and total suckiness, and most of those moments have been preserved for posterity as videos. The good bits? Nah, I didn't bother recording those. I don't want you all to feel insecure.
"It's a different build altogether," says Respawn.
Titanfall's Xbox One beta build is completely different to that you may remember seeing (naughty naughty) in the recent closed alpha, Respawn has told OXM.
"We had to take it out," tweets creator Kojima.
Kojima is off on another of his epic Twitter binges, to coincide with a Metal Gear Solid V press event currently underway in Japan. It's mostly shots of MGS merch and tired-looking journalists, but an interesting little snippet as to how the game might have looked has managed to sneak out.
Lifeline will offer fans "a new way to play" the zombie survival game.
Grrr, argg. That's the sound of impatient Stae of Decay fans, hungrily clamouring for more news on the indie title's next expansion pack. Developer Undead Labs put them out of their misery last night, with the announcement of "Lifeline" over on its official site.
"This is the point where Turtle Rock proves that we are our own independent entity.".
As enthusiastic as I am about Turtle Rock's Evolve, a big, beautiful mutant of a co-op shooter, there's an element of sadness. The new game's existence is one more reason not to expect a new instalment of Left 4 Dead, the legendary zombie-bopping franchise Turtle Rock created for Valve back in 2008.
"We're just trying to build a great game.".
Lionhead's forthcoming Fable Legends could stray into the tempestuous waters of free-to-play gaming, if comments by CEO John Needham are any indication.
What you'll get in the box, and how to get started.
This March, Microsoft will finally release an Xbox One headset adapter, allowing players to use their Xbox 360-compatible headsets with the new console. Aching to put your wizened last gen cans to work? Bear in mind the following tips.
Tanks for the memories.
I admit, I'm not entirely sure what World of Tanks is. I imagine it as being a bit like Thomas the Tank Engine, only featuring actual tanks and being much less scary.
Is it 14th February yet?.
For the love of all that is metallic and shiny, would you just look at this new Titanfall beta trailer? I mean seriously. There should be a law against getting people so worked up before 10am on a Wednesday.
$500 for the lot.
A quick heads-up for all you dilly-dallying last gen readers - there's an Xbox One "Value" bundle at Walmart which includes one of four, well-regarded games, yours for $500 with free delivery.
"Website to be announced shortly before 6" says Respawn's Vince Zampella.
Finally. After a closed alpha that didn't stay closed and promises of a beta, the proper Titanfall beta finally going live.
Say it with flowers. Wait, did I say flowers? I meant bullets.
Valentine's Day, eh? Whether you view it as an excuse to get all soppy with a significant other or as a money-grabbing ploy on behalf of greeting card companies and chocolate manufacturers, you can't say it doesn't deliver you something special every now and again. And by that we mean new content for GTA Online. Obviously.
