Patches! Gitch’yer Patches ‘ere! Arkham Knight, GTA V and Witcher 3
This week’s major updated games are: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Batman Arkham Knight. Batman Arkham Knight‘s PC version is still not fixed, and after delaying the Batgirl DLC, WB has announced that the latest patch for the game is coming on July 27th. No fixes have been detailed yet, but prepare for one massive patch notes section this time. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt got a patch this week, the Patch 1.07, and it adds quite a bit, but it also reportedly causes performance slowdowns in consoles. CDPR is already calling it the “Largest patch for the game yet”. The patch is 7.3 GBs on consoles and around 2.2 GBs on the PC. The PC version is just a prep patch and apparently doesn’t do much, with the proper patch arriving soon. You can find a (rather too complete f...
Easter Egg in Ground Zeroes Sheds Light on Kojima-Konami Split
GamesRadar‘s Leon Hurley discovered an Easter egg in the PS3/4 (timed) exclusive mission Déjà Vu, and it’s rather unsettling: in it, you erase games directed by Kojima himself with your UV light (and only those: games not directed by him are unaffected) and then a message, seemingly by Kojima himself, plays. You can see a somewhat condensed run-through of the easter egg bit below: (note the classic Snake model from Metal Gear Solid) (video courtesy of timesplitter88) This puts a rather interesting take on the whole Kojima-Konami split, mainly that Kojima knew that it’s going to get ugly and tried to get the word out. The fact that it was in the Déjà Vu mission, which was marketed to fans of the franchise (it was released on PS3/4 first and was a timed exclusive to ...
Shenmue III Gets a New Trailer

It’s barely a half-minute long and comes near the closing of the Kickstarter campaign. At the time of writing, the Kickstarter has over five and a half million dollars and a day to go. It’s original goal wa two million dollars and the highest stretch goal is ten million dollars. For all the latest news, keep checking back at Gaming Central.
Reports: Arkham Knight Won’t Come to Steam Until Autumn, DLC Delayed
Kitguru reported that Arkham Knight won’t come back to Steam until maybe this fall. This comes hot on the heels of the official update on the Steam page by WB, in which they apologised for the debacle again and told that they are “modifying the internal review process for all of our games” and reassured the community that they are “working on [the updated version of the game on PC] every day” and “for the players who are continuing to play Batman: Arkham Knight on PC, fixes are continually being made to the game as we await the final updated version” They also announced that “Batman: Arkham Knight – Batgirl: A Matter of Family DLC will not be available on July 14 for those who are currently playing the PC version of the game” to “...
Showcase: Destiny’s the Taken King Special Edition PS4
Sony showcased a new custom PS4 to go with Destiny’s The Taken King expansion, and it is one of the best looking skins for the console yet, as good looking (or even better, maybe) than the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain bundle. The bundle contains the custom PS4, a glacier white Dualshock 4, a physical copy of Destiny: The Taken King Legendary Edition, which includes Destiny, Expansions I and II, and The Taken King, along with the custom emotes that the Legendary Edition comes with, which Activision is also selling for $20 as a standalone package. A package this gorgeous for the expansion makes the original Destiny bundle look plain, doesn’t it?
Overkill Halts Updates for Payday 2 for Last Gen Consoles
Overkill Software is no longer supporting Payday 2 for the Xbox 360 and PS3. They announced it on Steam back when the Crimewave Edition, and this has come to the forefront when they responded to an angry fan on twitter @Supa_Fresh_Sikh @Uncle_Gmima We know you’re pissed. And we hate it too. More info here: http://t.co/Uf739eDAoT — PAYDAY (@PAYDAYGame) July 6, 2015 This is what they have to say about it, straight from the horse’s mouth: (From the Steam Page) “Q: Will you continue to support PAYDAY 2 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3? A: In connection with this, we have decided to retire the PAYDAY 2 update development on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. We wish we could provide more updates. For a long time, we’ve been looking at how we could add more updates from a technical...
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. The Ground Zeroes port was exceptional and ran so well that even mid range PCs maxed it out without breaking a sweat. 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...
