The Elder Scrolls Online trailer May Blow Your Mind
While we won’t experience anything quite as awesome as the trailer below, the game itself has a lot of promise. Bethesda’s poor decision to go with the archaic subscription fee model is unfortunate, but then again, we suppose they had to find a way to pay for all that top-tier voice talent. John Cleese, Bill Nighy, Kate Beckinsale, Alfred Molina, Michael Gambon, Malcom McDowell and Peter Stormare all have starring roles on it. The Elder Scrolls Online arrives on PC on April 4th, with the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions following in June.Elder Scrolls Online for PC will be available on 4th April, 2014 and priced at Rs. 3499 and the PlayStation 4 version will hit the Indian Market in June 2014 at Rs. 4799 through e-xpress Interactive Software Pvt.

Class- action for Grand Theft Auto Online dismissed
According to Game Politics, a class-action lawsuit filed against Rockstar Games and Take-Two has been dismissed by a US District Court in California. The plaintiffs argued that Rockstar and Take-Two failed to deliver the full, promised Grand Theft Auto 5 experience – in specific reference to the online portion of the game, GTA Online. The suit claimed the state of Grand Theft Auto 5 at launch last September was “unlawful,” “unfair” and “fraudulent” on the part of Take-Two and Rockstar. Judge Virginia A. Phillips didn’t approve of this as there is no language on the Grand Theft Auto 5 packaging guaranteeing the online portion of the game “immediately.” Source: David Hinkle
Payday 2 ‘s second weapon pack out in Feb
Another pack of gear is going to be introduced to Payday 2 sometime in February, courtesy of Gage the weapons dealer. Following up on his first premium offering, his second weapons pack introduces some new light machine guns, knives and the Cloaker – a new enemy police unit. Not much is known about Cloakers, but what we do know is that you’ll hear “a faint hissing whine” when they’re near. The light machine guns, though have a large magazine size, take a decent time to reload. The knives have a whole new dynamic, a new charge attack that can knock down enemies, so the longer you hold down the melee button, the stronger the attack. And obviously they put in four new masks, along with new patterns and materials to customize them. The Gage weapon pack 2 DLC will be av...
The Order: 1886 — “Sony’s First Naughty Dog Game”
So there is a rumor going around in the twittersphere about the way The Order: 1886 is being privately defined in a rather interesting way: The Order is being described privately jokingly as Sony’s first Naughty Dog game. Take that for whatever it means graphically. Whatever comes from “insider” isn’t usually the way it seems and is always something else to it, but it’s actually pretty easy to understand. They’re probably referring to the cinematic approach that The Order 1886 has taken and that it resembles Naughty Dog’s game quite closely. Source: dualshockers
