E3 2016 - We're not even 24 hours away from EA's E3 2016 press conference, where we'll see a 64-player multiplayer match of Battlefield 1 being played - the world's first look at gameplay, and a 64-player battle at the same time? So much excitement!

The company decided to tease something on Twitter, but the full trailer will debut on June 12 (today) at 1PM PT/4PM ET/9PM UK time from LA, before the doors open to fans who purchased tickets. As for the game, it will be released onto the Xbox One, PS4 and PC on October 21 (let's hope it's not delayed). Those who grab the Early Enlister Deluxe Edition for $79.99 will gain access to play the game three days earlier than its release, on October 18.

E3 2016 - DOOM has been one of the best releases on the PC in recent years when it comes to GPU support, multi-monitor and 21:9 UltraWide support, as well as the PC controls and graphics. Well, id Software is continuing its push with DOOM, with a new update on the way.

The new updates include:

id Software has also promised the new update for DOOM will include multilpayer improvements, with some rebalancing work on the weapons due to players' feedback. The chaingun, rocket launcher and combat shotgun have all been tweaked, with the wait time between matches now set at 60 seconds. The update will also see Clan Arena and Freeze Tag both requiring the winning team to compete 5 rounds before they win the match.

E3 2016 - Can you believe we're only a little over two months from the release of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided? Well, in order to kick off the huge marketing campaign headed into E3 2016, Eidos Montreal have released some new screenshots of the game.

The new screenshots look insanely good, but they definitely have a very specific, and image enhancing sharpening filter applied - which we most likely won't experience when Deus Ex: Mankind Divided launches on August 23. The bullshots released will sell plenty of copies, but we all know the Xbox One and PS4 versions of the game won't look anywhere close to what we see here, and neither will the higher-end PC version of the game. Sigh.

E3 2016 - We all know that there is a new PlayStation and a new Xbox on the way, but how do game developers feel about having to make their games for yet another console? Well, according to an interview with the developers of Dead Effect 2, it's "a lot easier than attempting to provide enough settings for a wild variety of PCs in the world".

The full quote from BadFly Interactive is even more interesting, where they said: "Every developer likes to get his product on as many platforms as reasonably possible, with the best possible quality. The enhanced console versions might provide enough power to support the 4K resolution and that would be definitely great. If all we had to do was to create two performance profiles, for standard and enhanced console, we're definitely interested. It would be still a lot easier than attempting to provide enough settings for a wild variety of PCs in the world".

WCCFTech also asked them if the target framerate for Dead Effect 2 on the Xbox One and PS4 would be at 60FPS, which was confirmed, with the PS4 version of the game being equal to the PC on high quality settings, while the Xbox One version will be akin to medium settings. BadFly Interactive added: "The versions we're right now tuning and testing are graphically comparable with PC high quality on PS4 and medium for Xbox One, but we're still working and looking for a ways to improve the quality. We want to keep the game at stable 60FPS on both platforms. We were considering the idea of 30fps lock while using a better quality graphics, but we've decided that smooth action play is more important, even if the visuals will have to suffer a bit".

E3 2016 - Netherealm's Ed Boon showcased the first-ever gameplay footage of Injustice 2 at the Mortal Kombat X pro finals, revealing new DC heroes and more.

The new Injustice 2 gameplay footage is jam-packed with hero-on-villain chaos, showing us some of the crazy ultimate super attacks from new characters like Atrocitus, Gorilla Grodd, Supergirl and even Black Manta. As in the first game, the sequel brawler blends cinematic-style animation sequences to showcase each character's defining moveset, and we get a good look at a bunch of different punishing ultimate moves from new and old DC heroes as well as the new dynamic armor sets.

"There was always characters we wanted to see. Atrocitus was a big one, Supergirl was huge. A lot of it was characters we didnt put in the first game, so we're excited to put them in this time around," Netherealm's Ed Boon said at the event. Ed didn't reveal anything new just yet, but promised "big things" at E3, saying that Injustice 2 will have tons of surprises for gamers. "It is everything you're going to expect in an Injustice sequel, tons of new characters and a lot of surprises you didn't expect."

E3 2016 - One of the best pre-E3 trailers I've seen so far is Polyphony Digital's second one for the PlayStation exclusive Gran Turismo Sport. It clocks in at four minutes and twenty-two seconds, the detail of each car is breathtaking, and the energy of the trailer itself is amped way up. But it's going to take more than a beautifully produced trailer to sell me on the final product which releases this November.

I have no doubt that Polyphony Digital has risen up to the challenge issued by Turn 10 and Forza Motorsport 6 (and for that matter, Project Cars). The graphical bar seems to be set ridiculously high now, especially judging by the detail present in each car during replay footage, and the utterly gorgeous photos taken in "Scapes," Gran Turismo Sport's new Photo Mode.

This new GT Sport trailer exudes emotion, it draws out our adrenalin with some top notch live commentary, it tugs on our heart strings by showing a community of racers bonding over one thing: The Real Driving Simulator. In short, this trailer has SOUL. Unfortunately, soul is something the past 2 Gran Turismo games have lacked.

E3 2016 - Halo Wars 2 is getting a substantial open beta test during E3, and we've dug up more leaked details and screenshots on the upcoming RTS.

The Halo Wars 2 beta test will last for a full week from Monday, June 13 to Monday, June 20, according to leaked Xbox Store listings. Xbox LIVE Gold will be required to play the beta, which will feature 4-6 player online multiplayer action. The listing didn't say anything about Windows 10 PCs being included in the beta, but remember Halo Wars 2 is coming to both Xbox and PC, so it's possible.

A huge batch of screenshots (scroll down for more) for the tactical warfare sequel were dumped on Reddit, revealing a ton of familiar vehicles and squads and a few new ones. Interestingly enough, the screenshots didn't show off any of the crazy-looking Brute forces that are depicted in Halo Wars 2's leaked key art.

If you downloaded Fallout 4 for free, Microsoft has yanked your license--but they've also gifted you Xbox Store credit.

Just a few days ago, Fallout 4 and all of its DLC was marked as free on the Xbox One marketplace. Thousands of gamers took advantage of this pricing error on Microsoft's part, and were able to jump into the game for a bit. Of course Microsoft quickly resolved the situation, fixing the price and pulling all game licenses from players who didn't pay. In a rather stunning effort of goodwill and generosity, Redmond has given everyone who took advantage of the pricing error $10 in Xbox Store credit--just enough to change your GamerTag for free.

"Our pricing error on Fallout 4 has been fixed and your free download will no longer work. For the inconvenience we will deposit $10 by the end of June in your Microsoft Account. This expires one year from the time it was deposited," reads the message Microsoft gave to Xbox LIVE users.

E3 2016 - EA has just shown off a quick Titanfall 2 teaser clip ahead of Sunday's huge EA Play showcase, and we deliver a quick recap to get you primed for the reveal.

Although we haven't officially seen Respawn's Titanfall 2 in action just yet, the sequel is shaping up to be quite impressive. The newest teaser clip is just 12 seconds long and doesn't give us too much, but we know quite a bit about Titanfall 2 thanks to recent leaks.

For example, the sequel will feature a a "ton" of new operator abilities like a grappling hook that can be "extensively used" to perform devastating combos. Oh, and titans will have swords and possibly other melee weapons to play around with this time. We also know Titanfall 2 will have more space in its multiplayer maps, offering a bigger playground for dynamic combat sequences. Player count has also been boosted to accommodate the expansive maps.

A skilled DIY tecchie makes a working controller out of a potato--and you can too.

Gamers have done some amazing things over the years--we've seen hardcore players like gbbearzly smash Dark Souls bosses with Rock Band guitars, drums, and even his own voice--and even awesome inventions like a tiny SNES console that fits in your pocket, or a retro-themed GameBoy. But now it's time for potato controllers!

YouTuber BOOM exploits the natural electrical conductivity of a potato to rig up a makeshift controller out of potato slices to play Skyrim. And yes, it really works. Sure it doesn't work too well, but it definitely works. Each potato slice is hooked up to a Makey Makey logic board via simple wires, essentially creating corresponding buttons on a controller. BOOM has even created a step-by-step tutorial so you can make your own custom spud controller.
