Madden NFL 15 to Concentrate on Defense and Better Presentation

Madden NFL 15 looks to really concentrate on defense this year. This is great considering playing defense in recent years in my opinion has been sub-par. The last time I remember Madden really concentrating on defense was in Madden 2005 and that was one of the best Madden's ever made in my opinion. Not only was playing defense fun, it also made you better offensively because you played actual competitive defenses. Madden games lately are all offense with little concern on defense. It is also fitting that Richard Sherman will be on the cover with the concentration on defense.

EA Sports UFC Info and Impressions So Far

EA Sports UFC is set to release June 17th for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 and we are finally learning a lot about what the game will be. There have been two game play videos recently released and EA has revealed the full roster. A lot of information is coming out about the game and with it only a few weeks away, most people are getting pretty excited about it. Let's take a look at the game play videos and what we know about the game up to this point.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare Collection Coming to PS4 and Xbox One in 2014?

There is a rumor starting to float around that there will be a Call of Duty Modern Warfare Collection coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 11/25/14. Nothing has been confirmed by Activision yet so we will still consider this a rumor but it is very interesting. The collection would have full remastered campaigns from all of the Modern Warfare games and claims to run in full 1080p at a constant 60 frames per second.

Possible 6 Month Delay for Elder Scrolls Online on Console

It is very possible that people waiting to play Elder Scrolls Online for their Xbox One or Playstation 4 might have to wait another 6 months to do so. The game was scheduled to release in June but according to the FAQ section of the official Elder Scrolls Online website, they need six more months to finish the game. That post has now been deleted and now only the first sentence of the post is still there. The original post read...
"The Elder Scrolls Online officially launched on April 4, 2014 on PC and Mac," said the F.A.Q, "While it has become clear that our planned June release of the console versions isn't going to be possible, we have made great progress, we have concluded that we'll need about six more months to ensure we deliver the experience our fans expect and deserve."

It would be unfortunate to have to wait until the end of the year for ESO on console but it seems like it is very possible. The post has now been deleted so we will have to wait to find out how true it actually is. We will keep updated on the story. Six months is a long time to wait, especially considering the computer version of the game came out early last month.

NHL 15 Details Revealed

Finally we have some details on NHL 15 set to release of Fall this year for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PS3, and Xbox 360. NHL 15 will bring you the most realistic broadcast package of the franchise so far with the new NBC Sports Game Day Presentation. The game will feature the commentary team of Mike 'Doc' Emrick and Eddie Oclzyk along with ice level insights from TSN analyst Ray Ferraro. This is exciting considering the commentary has become pretty stale and re-used over the last few years. The physics engine will also be very improved this year, all 12 players on the ice, as well as the puck itself will have chaos and unpredictability because of the new real-world physics. NHL 15 will look much better not only because of the graphics of the current gen systems but there has been a lot more attention to player models and arenas around the league. All the details we know so far can be found out below, also, you can check out the NHL 15 trailer that was released today.

Upcoming Xbox One and PlayStation 4 Games for May

May 6th- MLB 14: The Show (PlayStation 4)

One of the most anticipated sports games every year. MLB 14 The Show makes its next-gen debut on the PS4 system, utilizing the system's vast resources to deliver exceptionally detailed and fluid gameplay. With improvements to presentation, a wealth of added animations, and a dramatic increase in environment and player detail, we are setting out to create the best-looking and best-playing baseball sim ever created. Some major new features include Online Franchise, year-to-year saves,  new player-lock, and Quick Counts to speed up the pace of every game you play, if you choose.

The Golf Club Coming to Next Gen Consoles Soon

The Golf Club is the only sim golf game expected to release in 2014 and it is developed by HB Studios. There will be no golfer or course licensing in the game, but The Golf Club will feature a course designer and editor, along with next-gen sharing options, as well as a unique course generator, which will create a brand new course to play on every game. For a more traditional feel, pre-existing courses will be included for players seeking a variety of challenges. The game also boasts no loading times in between holes.

Octodad: Dadliest Catch Finally Gets PS4 Release Date

The release date has been set. Octodad: Dadliest Catch will come to PlayStation 4 on April 22nd to North America. It will be priced at $14.99 and with PlayStation Plus you will be able to get it for $11.99 for the first week. The PS4 version of Octodad will have a little bit more additional content than the PC version had including swabbing decks and "jig dancing" as well as new disguises for Octodad. There is also Local Co-op mode which will allow users to work together controlling different tentacles. The PS4 version includes PlayStation Move support for one or two players and the ability to play with PlayStation Move and a Nav controller.

The game will only take around 3-4 hours on average to play through it once, but for $15 it should still be very fun and entertaining. Don't let anyone find out you're an octopus and not just a regular dad!

Update 1.70 Coming to PlayStation 4 Users Soon!

Xbox One users just enjoyed enjoyed a system update and now its time for PlayStation 4 users. Update 1.70 will be available soon and it is being considered a "significant" update. Here is what we know so far about the update...

Have Snoop Dogg Voice Over Your Call of Duty Games

The next Call of Duty: Ghosts DLC will swap out the normal multiplayer announcer for Snoop Dogg. Activision brought in Snoop Dogg to record the multiplayer announcement package for the game which is actually pretty entertaining. Snoop claims what interests him most about the project is that his voice could be linked with a game that is "so hip and so hood."

This seems ridiculous and it is, but also very hilarious. It is a clever way to add interesting DLC to the game. Not everyone is a Snoop Dogg fan and there may be many other people you would prefer to have voice over your Call of Duty game, but it is still a pretty fun DLC that some people may be interested in taking advantage of.

The DLC will drop on Xbox One and Xbox 360 consoles on April 22nd and other platform release dates will be announced soon. It will be priced at $2.99.

Upload Xbox One Gameplay Clips Directly to YouTube

Starting tomorrow, you will be able to upload you Xbox One game clips directly to YouTube. There will be an update to the YouTube App which will allow you to go into the app and upload your game clips right to your YouTube channel.

The app's update will also allow Xbox One players to snap YouTube videos, pin individual videos, earn Media Achievements and add YouTube channels to the OneGuide, alongside TV listings and app channels.

This will be a cool feature for people that really wanted to upload their clips already or for people that already do upload clips, it was a lot more work to actually get them on YouTube from your console. Enjoy your uploading!

EA Sports UFC Set to Release June 17th, Bruce Lee is Mystery Fighter

Many people, including me, have been looking forward to EA Sports UFC coming out this year. The graphics look great and the game has been gaining more and more attention. Today we finally learn that June 17th is the release date. The game has been set for awhile now at "Spring 2014" and they pushed that as far as they could, because the 17th is the last Tuesday of spring. There has also been a mystery fighter that EA Sports has been teasing for awhile. It turns out that it is Bruce Lee. It appears that he will be a pre-order bonus for the game but it isn't fully sure what retailers will offer him. I would assume Gamestop will for sure have him as a pre-order bonus though. I am excited to see what this game has to offer and I will be paying close attention to it in the coming months until its release but is anyone actually excited about Bruce Lee as a pre-order bonus?

Xbox One Controller Update On the Way!

A controller update for Xbox One should be rolling out at any time now to fix some problems. It sucks that we now have to download our second controller update and that these problems exist in the first place, but at least they are finally being addressed. I have personally been looking forward to this update as I have had problems with my controller disconnecting randomly and with the audio quality of the headset adapter. For people who bought a new headset or bought the adapter to use with their old headset, many have been having problems with audio quality. Well now a fix is on the way! This update should take care of both the disconnecting problems and audio quality problems with the headset adapter. There are other minor things being fixed in the upcoming update and you can also check out some of the new features that may be coming soon here...
