Creating brand new features in video games, while it may pay dividends, is extremely difficult. Creating new genres in video games is almost unheard of.
Well, at least it was until developers Unknown Worlds announced that they’re developing a new genre-defining game called Subnautica.

There are hundreds, possibly thousand of absurd creations that can be made using Minecraft’s tools, and it’s that sandbox freedom that has made it such a flagship name in the video gaming industry. A lot of the coolest things I’ve created and played around with have been based in mods created by the outside community – but not everything needs outside help.
Using an absurd combination of redstone equipment, and what I’m convinced is some sort of witchcraft, YouTuber ItsJustJumby has created a 3-Dimensional Printer.

Reddit can often be a hub of misinformation and speculation, and sometimes people tell outright fibs. Occasionally, however, you get Blizzard’s Russian tech support guy confirming the release date for Diablo III: Reaper of Souls.

If there’s one thing that’s always drawn me to a game, it’s being able to interact with the environment, and being able to leave a dent in the world around me. From leaving a bullethole right between the eyes of my target in Hitman: Codename 47 , to blowing up bridges to derail tanks in Red Faction, that non-linearity and freedom in what you can do is immensely rewarding.
If you feel the same way, then Ubisoft’s The Division is going to be top of your wishlist.

Remember when I was ranting that I never get selected for beta keys by Blizzard? Ever? And then you know how I got a key anyway? Well, I’ll never moan again, because I have another one.

The gulf between the two next generation consoles has not been as wide as previous releases, and each one is claiming their various victories wherever they can.
Nonetheless, it seems the Playstation 4 is doing rather well.
