Tell that to Gary's Rattata.

Some Friday afternoon entertainment: GCHQ have been investigating Kinect's potential for spying.

So a few websites mainly in countries like Czech Republic have listed GTAV for PS4, Xbone and PC. But to add more to this recently Destination PlayStation happened in Scottsdale, AZ which is a closest event. Which apparently rockstar where at and had something amazing to show then didn't which has made people think it's GTAV but I can't see why they wouldn't show that if it's on next gen what's so amazing about that. So the other thought which I also think it is they were going to show Agent.

Also at the event the new COD was shown under the code name Black Smith, I wouldn't read to much into the name as Black Ops was titan. It showed a level featuring the golden gate bridge and supposedly being focused mainly on PS4 abit like how destiny has been.

Seems strange after the relationship COD & Activision has with Microsoft that they would be more in the Sony camp now but the EA seems to be now in Microsoft's.

Don't know about PS4 and Xbox One, but GTA V will almost certainly be coming to PC at some point, and I can't wait to mod the shit out of it. The prospect of stuff like this in GTA V is mouth-watering.

They are/where all listed for the same date, seems likely to me if they it comes to PC it come to PS4ONE as there just PCs can't take a lot of time / money to do it.

I had seen the ironman mod before but not the hulk one good stuff as for gta V on ps4/XO? I really don't think rockstar will waste their resources like that they have big plans for gta online & console ports would take away from that not to mention they don't tend to follow/copy everyone else.

Besides, everyone knows the smart money is on Manhunt 3.

Well that's why I said I thought it was Agent what was going to be shown or maybe red dead 3, but back on GTAV on next gen if they bring to PC and spend time getting it on that. I can't see why you wouldn't then bring it to PS4ONE with them being PCs basically. There's what nearly 9m next gen systems out there and there has to quite a few of those owners that would want it, just from what see you on twitter etc, I would for one would buy it.

I didn't say it wasn't possible just that I don't see it happening for the reasons I already stated, I think gtaV is great on ps3 but they could do so much more to improve what they have in online & maybe I'm being selfish here but I wouldn't want a pointless port to pull their focus away from that.

It might be actually well there's a few like me that would buy it but looking at sales numbers for tomb raider & rayman legends neither done great. Rayman has only sold 20,000 worldwide on Xbone, but I would imagine GTAV would sell a few more then that.

Just give the PS4 and Xbone owners a way to access online

Yeah that would be fine with me.

Here's the UK chart
01. Thief
02. The Lego Movie Videogame
03. FIFA 14
04. Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare
05. Call of Duty: Ghosts
06. Battlefield 4
07. Lego Marvel Super Heroes
08. Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition
09. Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag
10. Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2

The PS4 version of Thief accounts for 49% of it's sells.

So Mass Effect Trilogy might be coming to PS4ONE going by some tweets,

What do you guys think about releasing an ME Trilogy remaster for PS4/XB1? 1080p/high-res textures/60fps, etc?

Aaryn Flynn, general manager of the developer's Edmonton and Montreal studios

We have discussed that internally. If we can put solid plans together we'll share. Great to hear you're keen

So Shaquille O'Neal post this on his twitter last night with the words Someone is putting the pieces together. SHAQ FU RETURNS!!!!! .

So. This is a bit odd. In the future, you'll apparently be able to play all the Ouya games without actually owning an Ouya console.

http://thenextweb.com/gadgets/2014/03/03/gaming-company-ceo-hints-ouya-everywhere-way-play-ouya-games-without-console/

So... "Ouya going third party confirmed!"

First Space Jam 2 and now this. What is it about 90s basketball star vehicles?

Shaq Fu 2? It truly is the end times...

Am I the only person who finds the Ouya CEO really irritating? I don't mind the idea of a low-cost, low-power, easy-entry console, but the Ouya has flopped quite hard (I'd be amazed if it's sold 1/10th of what the Wii U has) and all she seems to do is spout that particularly annoying brand of business speak usually reserved for twits on The Apprentice.

Not entirely fair, but I can't help but compare it to the news that Raspberry Pi has just sold 2.5 million and goes from strength the strength as a low cost hobby-ist device and teaching aid. Lovely little thing, not exactly gaming in a dedicated sense, but fun (building some cheap little arcade machines with custom decals for friends birthday gifts with them at the mo!)

Down with this sort of thing.  Article summary: GT5 is going offline at the end of May, and all its DLC will become unavailable.

Perfectly timed, of course, for all those GT5 players to make the transfer over to MK8.  

A tad late but perhaps they'd rather kart with Marioooo....?

Sorry for the double post, but there was also some news that Rocksteady is making a third Batman game...

...and it has a car in it. A bat car. It'll probably be black (with a bit of very, very dark grey!)

With apologies to Jay. Also, the Raspberry Pi seems to be an utterly wonderful little object, from an education standpoint.

I don't look at any of the Ouya news because it's utterly uninteresting, so I can't comment on that.

Nope!

Pretty sure I've been down that road on here before, but there's so much to hate about the Ouya, and all of it comes from the way it's marketed, and as much of that comes from the CEO as it does anywhere else.

So the PS4 has passed 6,000,000 SKU's meaning that it has now passed the Wii U and I think it's about 2m in front of the Xbox One.

Naughty Dog's web developer Jason Paul has hinted that fans should be looking harder online for secret information regarding the company's forthcoming games.

Murdered: Soul Suspect will release on June 6 in Europe, publisher Square Enix has confirmed.

I've seen a lot of places report this but wasn't nintendo's last released sales numbers as of December 31st? Sony release their numbers more often as well.

(Side note: seeing how wii U is performing ps4 probably will pass it at some point)

Well the WiiU was on 5.4 or 5.6m at the end of 2013, I doubt it's sold either 600 or 400k between then and when Sony announced the PS4 passed 6million.

Watch Dogs confirmed for May 27 release date, more info click

That's a massive assumption. (Btw you've forgotten the 7 in the title)
