Six Upcoming First Person Shooters to Watch Out For This Season
An awful lot of the biggest games coming out this year are either RPGs or action adventures, which is fine unless you’re the kind of person I am and just cannot survive without killing mooks with things that go BAM! or BOOSH! for the rush of Adrenaline you get after fighting through hordes of enemies evenly matched to you. Fortunately for us, shooter season 2015 is right around the corner! Let’s have a look at the homocidal toys Santa has in store for good little murder happy boys and girls: Halo 5: Guardians (Xbox One) Halo 5 is the fifth game in the Master Chief saga and 7th or 8th (depending on whether you count ODST or not) title under the Halo series. Halo 5 features a new protagonist, Agent Locke, who debuted in Nightfall and the Master Chief Collection, and promises an i...
Call of Duty: Black Ops III Zombies Announced
Zombies return to Call of Duty, as we announced earlier, but this time are packing a bit of a unique flair: It’s set in the 1940’s and stars Hollywood A-Listers Jeff Goldblum, Heather Graham, Neal McDonough, Ron Perlman, and Robert Picardo. And it’s Film Noire. What! The mode is called Shadows of Evil and is set in the jazz drenched Morg City, a wretched hive of scum and villainy. with typical noire-ish (playable) characters of the Femme Fatale, the Boxer, The Cop and The Magician. And it looks amazing. Here, see for yourself: It also has a rocket powered shield, one-liners, power-ups delivered by candy and one The Darkness rip-off power-up. So that makes it the best Call of Duty Zombies DLC yet. (Sorry Kennedy and Co. from Blops 1)
Kojima Productions Asks Fans Whjat they Want in PC Version of MGS V: TPP
Kojima Production is new to the whole multi-platform game thing this generation, but they are trying so very hard to nail PC ports.

Now Kojima Productions has taken to Steam forums for user feedback on further improving their PC port. Robert Peeler, MGS’s Community manager, asked for advice on Steam forums for more PC specific features and options. The thread is here and still active at the time of writing, so if you have a specific request, knock yourself out.

Exclusive to Console (But Also Coming to PC)
Console Exclusivity no longer seems to include PCs nowadays. While this might feel shady, and let’s face it, the games are exclusive to a console only because Microsoft or Sony ‘motivated’ the developers, so it’s not exactly gold standard practices, this means that PC gamers now get the windfall in terms of exclusive content. Let’s have a look at the upcoming no-longer-exclusives, shall we? Street Fighter V One of the world’s most played fighting games, Street Fighter V will not be coming to Xbox One. Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono confirmed that the PS4 will be the only console that will have SFV, with emphasis on console, as it also comes to PC. And since Microsoft announced that Killer Instinct is also being ported over to PC, it kinda makes PC the mos...
Arkham Knight PC A Bust: Fans Batmad
Batman Arkham Knight is not enjoying a good launch on the PC. In fact, the launch is so bad, it puts to mind the launches of Assassin’s Creed: Unity and Aliens: Colonial Marines. The game uses the notorious DRM Denuvo (on top of Steam) and appears to be horribly unoptimised, with people reporting that not even a 980Ti can maintain playable framerates on even High, with numerous issues with SLI and Crossfire support (Crossfire is disabled in AMD’s Game Ready Driver, and SLI actually reduces framerate with Nvidia). Reports of stuttering and audio glitches are also numerous. There also appears to be a memory leak in the game, which causes the application to bloat to about 15GBs on RAM before crashing. It’s also locked to 30FPS. And AMD cards are even worse off, as even the o...
