If you’re intent on purchasing the sixth instalment in Kazunori Yamauchi’s Gran Turismo series, you might want to place a pre-order, as there are some seriously tasty treats available to those who do. Writing on the US PlayStation Blog, SCEA Product Manager Ken Chan has revealed a number of incentive schemes supported by participating retailers that should succeed in getting GT fans to front-up their funds. For starters, a pre-order from most reputable vendors will earn you four bonus motors: the BMW Z4 GT3 ’11, the Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 ’13, the Tesla Model S Signature Performance ’13, and the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (C7) ’14. Put in a pre-order at GameStop specifically, however, and you’ll get these plus a 15th Anniversary Edition upgrade that adds a further 16 turbo-charged chariots to the racer’s catalogue. They are: Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale 2011 Alpine A110 1600S 1968 Aston Martin V12 Vantage 2010 Audi R8 LMS ultra 2012 Ford Focus ST 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 2013 Honda HSV-010 (SUPER GT) 2011 KTM X-BOW

In the aftermath of this year’s E3 expo, many are already hailing Electronic Arts’ forthcoming military shooter Battlefield 4 as a genre-defining blockbuster. The gameplay demonstrations presented by developer DICE two weeks ago blew audiences away with photorealistic visuals, dynamic destruction, and fluid, visceral infantry and vehicular combat… and we they Frostbite 3 to thank for it. Want to see why I’ll be buying Battlefield 4 over Call of Duty: Ghosts next generation? Then keep scrolling.

If you missed out on Ubisoft’s E3 conference last week, you probably missed out on the unveiling of a new and unique episode in their long line of Tom Clancy-derived games: The Division.  The story unwinds as follows: “A devastating pandemic sweeps through New York City, and one by one, basic services fail. In only days, without food or water, society collapses into chaos. The Division, a classified unit of self-supported tactical agents, is activated. Leading seemingly ordinary lives among us, The Division agents are trained to operate independently of command, as all else fails. Fighting to prevent the fall of society, the agents will find themselves caught up in an epic conspiracy, forced to combat not only the effects of a man-made virus, but also the rising threat of those behind it. When everything collapses, your mission begins.”     Interestingly enough, The Division takes a stab at uncovered ground for Ubisoft’s Clancy franchise as it slides into the MMORPG genre.  Seven minutes worth of gameplay unveiled at the

It’s become the norm that with each new year comes a new Need for Speed title. This year it’s Need for Speed: Rivals, developed by newly-formed studio Ghost Games in association with the team at Criterion, and judging by the live demonstration recently recorded at E3 it’s on track to deliver the white-knuckle ride Electronic Arts’ press release promised.

In spite of the many highlights and wonders this year’s E3 exhibition has delivered so far, one of the things I’ve been hoping we’d see this week is live footage of Battlefield 4‘s multiplayer running on next generation hardware. My wish was granted – correction; my wish was blown out of my cranium with the force of a C4 detonation.

Two New Trials Games Announced

Ubisoft has announced not one, but two new Trials games which are coming in 2014. The first is Trials Fusion which is in development for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3 and PC which means an end to the Xbox exclusivity of the Trails series thus far. The second is Trials Frontier and is in development for mobile devices. Both of the games appear to have the traditional Trials gameplay but it remains to be seen if the traditional Trials difficulty will be carried across to the new games. Ubisoft also stated that the two games will interact with each other in some way although exactly how remains to be seen. This is not the first time developer RedLynx has developed for mobile as their game Motoheroz, which was very similar to trials, launched a few months ago and was quite good, hopefully they can build on that experience to create a truly amazing Trials game on mobile. You can take a look at the trailer for both games below.
