GTA 5 is the fastest selling entertainment property ever
GTA 5 is the fastest selling entertainment property ever, according to Take-Two’s estimates. The game has brought in more than $1 billion in its first three days on store shelves, after selling more than $800 million on its first day. The Avengers film surpassed $1 billion in ticket sales ten days after its release in the U.S. and most other countries, according to Guinness World Records. A copy of GTA 5 costs significantly more than a movie ticket, of course, and cinema sales aren’t weighted nearly as heavily toward their first day as game sales. So while this doesn’t mean games are the world’s dominant form of entertainment, it does prove again they can be one of its highest grossing. And in the realm of game sales GTA 5 is king, having beaten Call of Duty: Black ...
Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag flaunts rampant violence
Too much pirating, not enough assassinating,” is one of the possible reactions to any of Assassin Creed IV: Black Flag’s thirteen bajillion trailers so far. Not from me, of course, because I think high-seas looting sounds great. For those of a more stabby inclination, here’s the video you’ve been waiting for. This multiplayer trailer is packed full of violence. And also the band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, for some inexplicable reason. Those who’ve dipped into the AC games’ surprisingly good multiplayer will recognise much here. That’s not necessarily a bad thing: hunting down prey, while simultaneously trying to make your hunter think you’re an AI NPC, is a pleasant enough way to spend some time. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is out November 1st. [News Source: PC Gamer]
Bossfights in Batman: Arkham Origins Show How You Become the Dark Knight
With GTA V fever kick-starting the finale of big studio releases, the next game up for release is Batman Arkham Origins. Check out what the game developers have to say. It will surely excite you 🙂 “We want to make sure players earn their blackbelt in being Batman before the end of the game. We want you to get really good at the game by the time you’re at the heart of it,” said Michael McIntyre, gameplay director for Origins. The goal is to teach the player at the same rate that Batman learns, matching “his progressions system in lockstep with the player’s progression.” Ultimately, you should feel like Batman has improved to the point that he can take on just about anyone when you’re at the game’s climax and moving into the third act, rather than just for the final battle. In Batman: Arkham...
EA aim to take over Activision With Battlefield 4
The rivalry for the best military FPS continues. Both the Call of Duty and Battlefield series are neck and neck in the race to be the best. This rivalry proves beneficial for a gamer as it brings out the best of the two and leaves a gamer with two really kick-ass games. Executive vice president for EA Games, Patrick Sodurlund, added fuel to the flames of the Battlefield-Call of Duty rivalry when he said that EA won’t rest till its shooter is in the number one spot. “Competition is good,” Sodurlund told MCV. “It brings the best out of people. If there was only Battlefield or only Call of Duty, then the development teams might have been a little bit more content. We don’t look at them necessarily and mimic what they do.” “Maybe [Activision wasn’t] thinking about us mu...
