Previously known as the Spike Video Game Awards (VGAs), the show has had a lick of paint over the last year being re-branded as VGX . While it put bigger focus on reveals such as a new generation remaster of Tomb Raider and Telltale Games taking on both Game of Thrones and Borderland s episodic series, the entire affair was still framed by awa

Spotted by forum member 'Metalmarc' over on NeoGAF , a listing for the game — as taken from Czech retail website SuperGamer.cz reveals a GTA 5 title available for PC, PS4 and Xbox One formats. Also included in the product's description is the tentative release date of June 13, 2

While the odds of a next-gen console release remain relatively slim it's important to note that the move does make sense from a business perspective. Given the time taken to produce an expected PC port, Rockstar could certainly afford to put together a PS4/Xbox One upgrade at the same time. Indeed, the recent success of Crystal Dynamic's Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition demonstrates the viability of such a move — a minimum of fuss for a maximum of pro

Funnily enough, now it seems like Activision might be beginning to overestimate what is feasible for the series. Just a few weeks ago Grand Theft Auto V became the most successful entertainment franchise ever. Making $1 billion in just 3 days , the success of the game was extraordinary. Prior to that, Call of Duty: Black Ops was the most successful video game title and it seems like Activision isn't willing to let that record go just

Speaking to Chicago's WGN radio station this week, iconic GTA presenter, publisher and all-round personality Lucien 'Lazlow' Jones, explained to listeners the extreme lengths the studio had gone to in order to secure authentic vocal talents. Recording in people's homes, on the streets and in-studio - alongside a plethora of real life gang members - Jones cites authenticity as being his number one g

In other Grand Theft Auto V news, 10 new screenshots have been released online, (credit: NeoGaf user Sn4ke_911 ) showcasing the game's protagonists as they undertake assorted gangland tasks. One unusual screenshot appears to hint at the possibility of an underwater co-op level, with Trevor piloting a deep-sea one-man submarine in pursuit of either Michael or Franklin. Could gamers be in for a modern day take on a sunken-treasure qu

When both of these incidents took place, there was controversy. Debate ensued with two sides each offering up different points and demanding equal validity. But Sony has been met with almost universal admonishment after pulling The Interview. A quick search of The Interview mentions on Twitter reveals a starkly one-sided picture. A tweet by Judd Apatow (long-time associate of Rogen's) calling the move by Sony "disgraceful" was retweeted more than 5 thousand times in 11 hours.

**Grand Theft Auto V ** for PC may just be the worst kept secret in all of gaming , or perhaps, just perhaps - the smuggest, most inaccurate assumption in the entire industry. Either way, following the success of GTA 5 missions|Https://Gta5play.com/ 4 , hopes are understandably high for a comparable GTA 5 experience on

Shifting the game's hype train into high gear, developer Rockstar has been hard at work filling in our news feeds as of late, touting everything from radio station teases , to brand-new trailers and even a recreation of the GTA III Banshee sportscar . Now, the studio behind the mammoth sandbox franchise is sitting down to discuss the game's unusually sourced voice w

"we go towards authenticity […] In the game there's these rival gangs. There's Black gangs, Latino gangs ... we recruited a guy who gets gang members, actual real gang members, like El Salvadoran gang dudes with amazing tattoos, one of which had literally gotten out of prison the day befo

Surprisingly, the date only lasted long enough to grab headlines, as its original listing on the Gamestop UK storefront has now been supplanted with a TBC (To Be Confirmed). March 1 is a safe bet, though, considering the game's unbreaking silence heading into this Fall. Sure, low-key seems to be Rockstar's traditional modus operandi ; but a smattering of GTA V screenshots this August following an announcement trailer last November doesn't quite fit the billing for "Holiday 20

The big movie news cannot be ignored: Sony decided it will not go forward with it's plans to release The Interview, a Seth Rogen film about a plot to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. Sony was hacked and received threats, while the number of respectable movie chains who would take the film was dwindling. All at once, the internet (save for a few rogue supporters) cried out about free speech, bowing to terrorist demands and all-around support for Rogen and his now-canceled film. The equally troubling news is that no one cares when this happens to a video game.

The video game industry has been a little unstable with its expectations in the last few years. Several top franchise games failed to meet lofty revenue goals - despite selling very well in their own right. Resident Evil 6 was deemed to have "fallen short of the plan" despite selling several million copies. Tomb Raide r , which sold 3.8 million copies at the time of the report, was deemed an "extraordinary loss" by Square Enix . Some blame the high expectations on Call of Duty with companies pumping more and more money into their games to try and replace the military shooter as one of the industry's most consistent sell
