Fan Film Turns Battlefield 4 Into A Third-Person Experience
I love the way the running soldier connects the scenes. In Through My Eyes, a fan-made Battlefield 4 short by YouTubers The Two Scotsmen, they pretty much maxed out the possibilities with the camera tools and angles, not to mention the graphics. Battlefield 4 Through My Eyes – Cinematic Movie [The Two Scotsmen, YouTube] To…

The next PS4 update happens on April 30 and it’s going to be one of those BIG ones. The 1.70 firmware will be bringing pre-loading and the much-ballyhooed ShareFactory functionality to the console, as well as the ability to turn HDCP off so that recording devices can capture gameplay video.

The Best (Last?) Hope for a Good Alien Game
There’s a reason that the first word in the next game based on 20th Century Fox’s sci-fi horror franchise is singular. Alien: Isolation will be taking its cues from Ridley Scott’s slower, more atmospheric 1979 original. That means no space marines and no P5000 power loader. Just you and one big, scary Xenomorph. Which you…
