GTA 5 PC Gets Additional Radio Channel, New Albums on Release Date


Rockstar has postponed the release date for GTA 5 on PC three times and now they are trying to patch up the same with some trivial content.
Similar to Xbox One and PS4 editions that got additional music, PC edition of the game will have a brand new radio channel with more albums to listen to.
While everyone knows by now that the Windows version is going to be the best looking Grand Theft Auto V ever, especially in 4K resolution with increased pixels, world details and anti-aliasing, the developers are planning to add more content to it so as to make the launch special. All the free DLCs released so far on all console platforms will be available for the game on the release date. Besides, the hugely popular online heists will be open on GTA online which is something that only PC gamers get to enjoy without any waiting period.
New Music and Radio
Rockstar, in their official blog and Facebook posts confirmed that Oh No as well as their other composer the Alchemist is coming up with a brand new collection of songs, an album which will borrow its inspirations from the title’s original score.
The songs are also expected to be a great collection for a whole generation. It is being composed and created in association with Woody Jackson and Tangerine Dream. They were the ones who created the amazing score for GTA 5 that is so popular; but if you haven’t played the game yet, it will easily be worth the wait when you hear it for the first time.
Welcome to Santos is the new addition which will be exclusively available on the PC edition of the game. It will be aired on the radio named the Lab and users can enjoy it from April 21st onwards, provided the makers don’t delay the release date one more time.
Rockstar’s Official Words
“The music that has been created for GTA 5 by Oh No and Alchemist is a great piece that seamlessly covers the entire world of Los Santos created within the game. It is a musical journey that expresses the way the game is, through instruments. It also features top contributors with their voices, including Popcaan, Earl Sweatshirt, Little Dragon and many others”, said Rockstar in their official blog post Newswire.
While a bunch of new songs may not have appeased the PC gamers so far, the developers could make them happy by launching it without further delay and without bugs.

GTA 5 Online Heists Bring PvP Challenges, Daily Objectives and New Missions


The world of Grand Theft Auto is further expanding with the launch of online heists on March 10th.
While Rockstar has annoyed almost every PC gamer by delaying it for the third time, they are surely keeping console gamers more than happy.
GTA 5 has a lot of things to explore and places to go while GTA online introduced brand new multiplayer system. Online heists is the most anticipated DLC which is finally getting launched on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One platforms this month.
It allows players to participate in the team based robbery, while another team will be the cops whose job is to stop them from escaping with the stolen cash. It sounds pretty fun and has series of missions mixed into one long multiplayer campaign that will offer hours of gameplay, besides replay value. There’s more to it.
Daily Objectives to Complete
When you free roam in the world, you will be rewarded for your movement. As you keep playing, the game will reward you with in-game cash and more benefits. Besides, a series of daily objectives will be added to GTA 5 after online heists launches. The developers confirmed that there will be three different objectives which will keep changing on a daily basis.
If players miss them on a particular day, there is always the option to try new ones the next day. They will offer substantial rewards, according to the post made in their Newswire blog. Players can complete as many objectives and free roam as they like but there will be a maximum cash limit. You can earn up to $500,000 for a day. Free roaming missions will be assigned on the go as you are in the map, like Trevor or Lamar asking you to get rid of the cops until their job is done.
Terminator 2 inspired PvP Modes


In GTA 5, players will finally be able to live the life of John Connor and the Terminator. Inspired by the movie, the game developers have added a mission where a team will try to crush others with trucks, while the rest have to make an escape with bicycles. It’s not easy to outrun unless you make good use of the corners and make dashing turns. There’s also a mode where hunters and runners go against each other to reach an objective besides a base defense mode where survival is tougher than you think.

Xbox One supports Crossbuy for Windows 10, More Exclusives Expected


Microsoft has finally revealed their plans and it is now clear that they are planning to bring everything under one roof so that they could compete against Sony as well as every other competitor.  
When the Playstation 4 and Xbox One got launched, everyone knew that they were more like computers and not consoles. The architecture, hardware and the development process are almost the same, which paved the way for many games getting launched on all platforms. Developers found it much easier to port them unless there were exclusivity deals. Ever since PS4 started winning the race, Microsoft has become really conscious about their product and is taking a completely unexpected route.
Merging Windows 10 with Xbox One
In simple terms, the idea is to merge Xbox One with the Windows 10 operating system, because on the inside, the console is powered by the same OS, more or less. Players who own the console may most probably approve of this, because unlike PS4 owners who love only their own platform, Xbox people are often associated with PC gaming as well. They use the controllers to play on Windows computers, love exclusives like Dead Rising 3 coming to the same and so on.
Within a couple of months, you will be able to buy a game for your console which will be available for you on your computer as well. Sony has had similar deals for a long time which was restricted between their PS3, PS4 and PS Vita consoles. This deal sounds more expansive because the game you buy will not only be on your computer, but on all Windows devices including smartphones and tablets. On paper, it confirms that you will be able to play a title like Gears of War or Halo on your phone, PC as well as the Xbox One console. Sounds amazing for starters!
Cross Buy and Controller Support
The first game to be launched with cross buy is Pinball FX 2 and more games will be added to the list, as the developers please, announced Phil Spencer. Controller support for the mobile devices is also under development, while PC gamers will soon receive a wireless dongle that will allow them to use Xbox One controllers wirelessly on their computers. Everything seems to be going towards a unified approach to beat their competition, which is why Spencer said, after 2000, this is the best year for the Xbox platform for many reasons.

Minecraft Xbox One and Xbox 360 DLC Update, Download Simpsons Pack


One of the most waited Minecraft DLC patch is finally here and can be bought from the Xbox store pack. However, for now, The Simpsons DLC patch is available only for Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
The Skin pack has been confirmed by the developers via Xbox Wire, and allows gamers to play with their favorite The Simpsons characters they want. The Simpsons DLC patch costs only 2.99 dollars.
Aside from the Simpsons family, there are also other characters from the animated show such as: Springfield Elementary School’s principal Seymour Skinner, Otto Mann, Nelson Muntz, Jimbo Jones, Martin Prince, Dolph, Janey Powell and more.
4J Studios confirmed via their Twitter account that The Simpsons DLC patch is not exclusive for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One consoles and it will soon arrive on Sony’s consoles, but it may take a while until it happens. With other words, in case you are a PS Vita, PS3 or PS4 Minecraft player, you don’t have to worry about this skin pack as you will receive it on your console sooner or later.
The Legend of Zelda in Minecraft
Soon, Minecraft’s fans will be able to use this great map in their game. This map was created by two guys who are trying to bring “The Legend of Zelda” in Minecraft. To make things even better, the developers of the map said that they will make the map free, so you won’t need to pay anything to get it in your Minecraft game.
Minecraft Title Update 23
In the last Minecraft Title Updates, we didn’t see any new addition to the game. Title Update 20, 21 and 22 were released only to fix the big Title Update 19 patch that was released on December 18, 2014.
Now, since most of the errors and glitches were fixed, many players are hoping that the Title Update 23 will come with new additions to this great game. However, until now, 4J Studios didn’t say anything about Title Update 23, but hopefully we will get some good news in the upcoming days.

Elder Scrolls 6, Fallout 4 and Doom – To Be Revealed During E3 2015?


Whether we’re talking about Elder Scrolls 6, Fallout or the upcoming Doom, we’re pretty sure that there are a lot of fans of all these three games. However, we’re pretty sure that it’s almost impossible to see all changes unveiled at E3 2015.
However, since Bethesda announced that they are going to attend the E3 2015, the fans of these three games are hoping that their favorite game will be finally unveiled. Unfortunately, Bethesda didn’t give any hints about what they are going to unveil at this event, so we’re pretty sure than the secret will be well kept until E3 2015. The best case scenario would be if Bethesda will unveil two of these three games, but the chances are also low regarding this.
Elder Scrolls 6 at E3 2015
According to rumors, the Elder Scrolls 6 will be released in March 2016 and it will be named “Argonia”. If these rumors prove to be right, then this is the game that Bethesda will unveil at E3 2015.
Fallout 4 at E3 2015
Without any doubt, Fallout 4 is one of the most expected games out there with a lot of fans who keep asking questions daily. Because of that, there are also a lot of articles about Fallout 4. Unfortunately, a few months ago many rumors related Fallout 4 started to appear, but they proved to be just hoaxes. Bethesda is most likely feeling the pressure and they will try to see if they can come with any news regarding Fallout 4 at E3. However, it is good to know that Bethesda is used to these kinds of pressures from its fans, which means that if the developers think that the Fallout 4 is not yet ready to be confirmed, they will not do it.
Doom at E3 2015
Without any doubt, this game is known by old gamers. The first version of this game was released back in 1993 and it was well received by gamers. Doom 2 was released one year later in 1994 and Doom 3 was released in 2004. The upcoming Doom 4 game will most likely be named “Doom”. Doom is expected to be released for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
Bethesda is going to host the E3 press conference on June 14, 2015 and according to them this is going to be their most exciting event so far.

Alien: Isolation was almost ruined by a third-person perspective


After the disastrous failure that was Aliens: Colonial Marines, last year’s Alien: Isolation was a successful return to form for the Alien franchise in video games. Its first-person perspective put players right in the middle of sci-fi horror ripped straight out of the original film as they hid from the deadly Xenomorph.
But would the game have worked as well if it had opted for a third-person view instead? That was actually one of the possible directions the game was going in according to The Creative Assembly’s pitch video. Watch this development footage of Alien: Isolation in third-person to see for yourself
