This is Grand Theft Auto V’s new first-person mode

Exclusive to PS4, Xbox One, and PC Damn. I’m just now remembering thatGrand Theft Auto Vis coming to PC on January 27, not November 18 like the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 ports. IGN has a trailershowing one of the best new features for these re-releases: first-person mode. While the Rockstar employee playing is a total showoff and I think it would’ve been more true to the game had they crashed into that wind turbine, the mode looks good, as expected....

It’s more or less the same because that’s the connected ecosystem appeal that Microsoft is gunning for....

THQ talks Warhammer 40K: Dark Millennium’s transformation

Althoughscaling backWarhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium Onlineinto something which doesn’t require a subscription to play sounds more appealing to me than the alternative, the fact that this process even had to happen is worrisome. For me, much of that concern has to do with the unanswered questions surrounding the project. Speaking toRipTen, THQ’s Danny Bilson shed some light on the situation with his usual level of enthusiasm. “You’ve gotta remember there’s five years of development and careful thinking and testing and prototyping and then building involved there,” he says ofDark Millennium Online....

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap is getting a physical PS4 release

I can’t get over how well this remake turned out When I think back on my time spent withWonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap, I feel a total sense of joy (except for clearing Mouse-Man’s secret room — that place almost broke me). It’s everything I’d want out of a remake, and despite never playing the original game back when it was new, I still had a great time.The Dragon’s Trapholds up in 2017, design-wise, and the new visuals are gorgeous....

A little love for baby steps

Humans tend to perceive progression mostly in terms of notable milestones. As we age, we don’t register the minute changes in our skin, our muscles, or our metabolism even though we see ourselves in great detail on a constant basis. However, when that first laugh line, or grey hair, or hangover that takes way too long to recover from (cough–personalexperience–cough) appears in our lives, you can bet we stand up and take notice....
