Rockstar Games just released the first trailer for the upcoming GTA V game and it’s good to be home. Grand Theft Auto V is living large back in the beautiful state of San Andreas. The big city of Los Santos, the lovely ladies, and the fast cars — it’s all there. The game still doesn’t have a release date but don’t expect it this year. However, there will likely be a steady stream of trailers, teasers and random marketing until it’s hyped to unreasonable levels.
Our first look at what developers are using to make next-gen games.
Photos of a next-generation Xbox development kit have come online. The images were first spotted on the AssemblerGames forums when a user named DaE attempted to sell the kit for $10,000. At the time, the pictures were met with heavy skepticism and many assumed they were simply a hoax.
If you have been keeping up with the Xbox 720 leak saga, you’ll know that the term Durangohas been waved around numerous times, sometimes referred to as just a codename, while other reports even put the name down as the final product name for the next Xbox.
we heard back in November that Xbox 720 development kits would be ready by Christmas 2011.
DaE reports that the most recent round of development kits were sent out in February, with Intel CPUs and an NVIDA graphics card. He says the kit sports 8GB of RAM (though other sources say 12GB) and has a 64-bit operating system.
We haven’t been able to verify these specs, but when we last heard about the system, sources told IGN it would be six times more powerful than current-gen consoles and would feature an AMD 6000 series GPU similar to the Radeon HD 6670. That specific processor includes support for DirectX11, a feature specified in most next-gen job listings. DaE also provided Digital Foundry with a screenshot of Microsoft’s Visual Studio coding tool being used for Durango.

A lot of you will probably say that it resembles a PC base. It remains to be seen though if this is the same black box that reportedly has six times the power of current gen consoles from Sony and Microsoft. This isn’t obviously the final design of the next Xbox, but it could be a great indication.
What are your initial impressions of the pictures – would you be happy with another ‘rectangular’ design for the next Xbox or not?
Danger Close Exec. Producer Explains the Difference Between Battlefield 3 and Medal of Honor: Warfighter
At first glance, Danger Close’s Medal of Honor: Warfighter and DICE’s Battlefield 3 seem rather similar. After all, they are both military first-person shooters, they are both set in a modern era and they both run on the Frostbite 2 engine. So, what exactly is the difference between the two?
Speaking to VG247, Danger Close executive producer Greg Goodrich explains just that.
“So, the difference between Battlefield 3 and Medal of Honor – the two franchises – are essentially the size, scale and the scope for the military units that we’re talking about – not the game itself, but the military units,” explains Goodrich.
He continues, “so, Battlefield is all about the ‘big war’, the ‘sledgehammer’, the ‘what comes with the sledgehammer of overwhelming forces of tanks and jets and all the military industrial machines that come along with large forces’,” features we can look forward to even further in the upcoming Battlefield 3 DLC.
“Medal of Honor tells a story that focuses on the footsoldier, the scalpel, the precision instrument of warfare – the Tier 1 Operators,” counters Goodrich. “So, that’s sort of the the place where we fit into in the difference between the two shooters.”

But is the long journey worth it? Find out in our Spec Ops: The Line review.
Traditionally, the military shooter sub genre is full of action, but thin on plot. Spec Ops: The Line attempts to change that, with a story that raises all sorts of moral questions and situations during its course.
