Now that the whole Peter Jackson Middle-Earth saga is complete (well, until they come out with the 'The Silmarillion' .. .kidding it will never happen), Warner Bros can finally release that huge Blu-ray boxset that fans have always wanted.

So up for pre-order today is the 30 disc 'Middle-Earth' Ultimate Blu-ray Collection, which rounds up all three 'Lord of the Rings' extended edition trilogy, 'The Hobbit' extended edition trilogy with dozens of extra feature discs equaling hundreds of hours of extra features. The price tag? A credit card busting $799. But it does come with a "spectacular 100-page sketch-style book" as well as "six stunning faux leather books and a collectible Hobbit-style wood shelf", so there's that.

The 'Middle-Earth' Ultimate Blu-ray Collection hits shelves on October 4 - just in time for Christmas.

Gamescom 2016 - DriveClub was one of the best looking games released on the PlayStation 4, and with the developer working on DriveClub VR as a PlayStation VR exclusive will be one of the best VR driving games yet.

Sony said in a blog post: "While we normally like to keep everyone in the Driveclub community up to speed on any developments, we've had to keep this one under the hood... until now. We've been working tirelessly on Driveclub VR for more than a year now, to bring you the definitive and most immersive Driveclub experience possible".

DriveClub VR is being developed by Sony's Immersive Technology Group, with the team wanting to "take Driveclub to a more immersive level" thanks to VR. Not only do we have new screenshots of DriveClub VR, but we have some key points to share:

We have all heard about the new Xbox One S console making headlines in magazines, websites, and social media. Yeah, sure, everyone knows or assumes that with a new update or release it's bound to be better, but what do we really know about the updated Xbox One S controller? A decent controller makes your gaming experience better, everyone knows that it has got to be responsive, easy to use and equipped with the hottest features.

Microsoft has modified its controller for the best gaming experience with the recently developed model being light weight and smaller in diameter and has some new features up its sleeve. The specs include double the wireless range, meaning that you will have twice the wireless range of the previous Xbox One controllers. The new sleek and slim like design provides a more comfortable feel with a fancy textured grip stopping anymore of those near miss drops.

The advanced Bluetooth perk means that anyone with a Windows 10-based smartphones, tablets, desktops and laptops can sync up and be used instead of a stylus pen or mouse, but the best is still yet to come. Microsoft is providing its customers the option of a personal design with the Xbox One S, so if you are over the standard black or white controllers and have no idea how to stick on a decal without screwing it up, then you can now log onto the Xbox website and make your own for $79.99.

Gamescom 2016 - If there's one PlayStation VR exclusive that gets released on October 1 to experience, it would have to be Batman: Arkham VR, which makes you feel like Batman in VR.

In the first Batman VR experience, you'll dive head first into the Batcave where you can scope out Batman's equipment, and then walk up to the mirror after putting the suit on and you will see your reflection - you are Batman. You'll also be able to experience Gotham City, as well as Wayne Manor, all from Batman's eyes.

There's some new footage in the clip, as well as fan's reactions after experiencing Batman: Arkham VR at San Diego Comic-Con just recently.

Last year we bought you the news that the CBS Network were pursuing a TV reboot for the classic 80's series 'MacGyver', and they've delivered. Well, they've delivered something, but I'm not sure it's MacGyver!

Starring Lucas Till in the role made famous by Richard Dean Anderson, the new series finds MacGyver as the creator of a "clandestine organization within the U.S. government where he uses his extraordinary talent for unconventional problem solving and vast scientific knowledge to save lives".

The series is set to hit screens later this year.

Gamescom 2016 - After what has felt like years of Mass Effect not being remastered, it looks like EA could be rethinking that remastering some of its older games on new consoles and the PC, might actually be a good thing.

EA COO Peter Moore said a year ago that remastering games "feels like pushing stuff out because you've run out of ideas," and that his company didn't have the time for remastering games. Moore added: "We don't do that here. I don't think that's ever been in our culture". Fast forward a year and Gamescom 2016 is now here with EA Studios Executive Vice President, Patrick Soderlund saying that the Mass Effect trilogy might eventually be remastered.

Speaking with Game Informer, Soderlund said: "What's changed is that there is proof in the market that people want it, maybe more than there was when we spoke. There were some that did it before, but I think there is even more clear evidence that this is something that people really want. The honest answer is that we are absolutely actively looking at it. I can't announce anything today, but you can expect us most likely to follow our fellow partners in Activision and other companies that have done this successfully".

Gamescom 2016 - Ubisoft has announced that the closed alpha of For Honor will take place between September 15 and 18, where you can sign up on the game's official website. Ubisoft has said that the PC version of For Honor will be developed by Blue Byte, which worked on DLC content for Rainbow Six: Siege.

The company also detailed For Honor's roster of 12 playable heroes, which are split into three factions: Knight, Viking, and Samurai. Ubisoft explains: "each feature four true elite warriors, capable of making a major difference on the battlefield," continuing with "For Honor embarks players in the chaos, fury and brutality of ruthless, visceral close-quarter combat featuring the brutal Vikings, the deadly Knights and the cold-blooded Samurai. In each faction, players will be able to choose among four different types of Heroes".

As for the different character classes in For Honor, here's what to expect:

Well this is a huge treat for fans of the original 1960's 'Batman' series. Original stars Adam West, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar are set to reprise their roles as Batman, Robin and Catwoman in a new animated film!

Releasing its first trailer today, 'Batman: The Return of the Caped Crusaders' will be the first time in decades that members of the original cast have returned to the role which made the characters a worldwide success, and celebrates 50 years since the original show hit screens. The animated film is also set to return the classic villains Joker, Riddler, Penguin, although there's no word on who will perform their voice roles after the actors who originally portrayed them have since passed away.

'Batman: The Return of the Caped Crusaders' will be available to purchase digitally in October, and on Blu-ray in November.

Though originally planned to include DirectX 12 support at launch, developer Nixxes Software says it won't be quite ready come August 23. Rather, you'll have to wait a couple weeks.

"We have some extra work and optimizations to do for DX12, and we need more time to ensure we deliver a compelling experience," it writes. "Our teams are working hard to complete the final push required here though, and we expect to release DX12 support on the week of September 5th!"

Mankind Divided isn't the only high profile recent game to launch without the benefits of the new API. As such, it's not unreasonable to venture the 'closer to the metal' design may be giving some programmers trouble and that it will take time before PC developers are fully accustomed.

Microsoft is betting pretty solidly on the end of not just the current console generation, but console generations in general.

With its new 4K-ready "monster" Project Scorpio console, Microsoft hopes to usher in a new era of iterative hardware to the gaming world. Redmond has a vision where consoles are upgrade-able not unlike PCs, where the past, present, and future merge to form one continuous solid line of inter-compatibility.

"I think [this is the last console generation] ... For us, we think the future is without console generations, we think that the ability to build a library, a community, to be able to iterate with the hardware, we're making a pretty big bet on that with Project Scorpio. We're basically saying 'this isn't a new generation, everything you have continues forward and it works.' We think of this as a family of devices," Xbox exec Aaron Greenberg said in an interview with Engadget.
