How to Watch X1 Kill the PS4 at E3 (Plus Some Memes)

Microsoft has been taking a beating in the media and on social networks over the Xbox One reveal event with many people believing there was too much focus on TV and sports and not enough focus on games.

That said, we are looking forward to E3 in just a few days time where Microsoft has promised it will show more of the gaming capabities of the Xbox One, and hopefully put an end to all the hilarious X1 memes floating around at the moment (a sample of which we have included below).

Xbox One Revealed – All the Details

xbox-one

The next generation Xbox is called Xbox One and was revealed by Microsoft just one hour ago at their #XboxReveal event in Redmond.  Technical specs are as follows:

  • 8 core AMD CPU
  • 8 GB system memory
  • 500 GB HDD
  • Blu-ray drive
  • 802.11n Wireless with Wi-Fi Direct
  • HDMI In/Out
  • USB 3.0

No details on the GPU contained in the Xbox One were given (it ill be combined with the CPU on the same chip though).  Microsoft said that the console will be released “later this year”.

Also on display were a brand new controller as well as Kinect 2.0.   As for backwards compatibility, given the new architecture of the Xbox One, that is a big no.  Your Xbox 360 games will not work on the Xbox One.

There will be a TON more coverage on this over the next few days and weeks, but what are your initial reactions?

1280 (12)

Just in case you’ve been living under a rock the last week or so, here’s a quick recap of all that’s gone down in the world of Grand Theft Auto V – Rockstar Games’ upcoming and newest title in the record breaking GTA series.

First we had new character trailers for each of Trevor, Michael and Franklin revealed. A clip showing all three is below, and you can also view the others in the GTA5Cheats’ Youtube channel.

Next we’ve had two batches of a dozen GTA 5 screenshots released. Check them out here and here.

And finally, thanks to Rockstar giving some select publishers inside access to a preview version of the actual game itself, we have a bullet-point list of information that was previously unknown/unreleased.

Enjoy!

Next CoD Title Revealed with Release Date

Promotional posters for the next title in the Call of Duty series have started popping up all over the place confirming two things:

  1. The name of the next CoD game is Call of Duty: Ghosts.
  2. The game will be released on November 5 2013.

call-of-duty-ghosts-poster

The game’s name was pretty much known prior to this leak, but getting an actual release date is a nice bonus. November has been the traditional “release window” for previous Call of Duty titles.

What’s not known though, is the consoles that Call of Duty: Ghosts will be released on. Could it be a next generation title? Time will tell, but expect some more official news from Activision shortly.  We’ll have all the cheats and codes you need for Call of Duty: Ghosts right here.

Update: We have the Xbox 360 boxart for you too!

Battlefield 4 Coming Fall, Gameplay Trailer Revealed

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you should now know that Battlefield 4 is officially coming to the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and the PC this fall. You’ve probably also seen the 17 minute debut gameplay trailer that has been literally smashing YouTube records left, right and center.

Battlefield 4 is being developed by DICE (as usual) and will be based on the latest version of their FrostBite engine. The game will be set in present times (just like other Battlefield games). If you bought last year’s title, Medal of Honor: Warfighter, then you’ll also get an automatic invitation to the BF4 beta, which is scheduled to begin some time this fall.

One thing we don’t know yet is whether Battlefield 4 will make it to the next generation Playstation 4 and Xbox (whatever the later is eventually called). DICE have already said that Battlefield 4 will NOT be coming to the Wii U…

PS: the gameplay trailer above show PC footage.

GTA V Delayed, Conspiracy Theories Abound

By now you’ve probably heard the sad news and might also have just recovered from the fetal position – yes, Grand Theft Auto 5 has been officially delayed until September 17.

From an official standpoint, it’s not so bad, as the game wasn’t really expected until the summer anyway. That said though, Rockstar admits it’s about four months later than they had originally planned to have it shipped. However with rumors swirling recently that several outlets had official confirmation of March/April release dates for the game, the extra six month wait is a real kick in the cajones.

The announcement was of course accompanied by the usual panoply (not to be confused with Monopoly) of grandiose statements; that they have been working their butts off to release the game in time but couldn’t, that the game was being delayed to make it the best game in the history of the universe, blah blah blah.

Trevor - GTAV

Was that the real reason for the delay though? Or is there something else afoot? Something more shady and conspiracy-theory-like? Well, with the announcement coming shortly after swarms of announcements and renewed speculation about the PlayStation 4 and Xbox 720, some analysts have jumped on the idea that the delay (which has caused Rockstar parent company Take-Two’s stock to plummet like an unpilotable Dodo) is so that Rockstar can instead port the game to the next generation consoles.

Rockstar quickly shot down the new rumors in a post on the official delay announcement page (which has a few thousand comments from a few thousand disappointed gamers) stating:

Hey all, we understand many of you guys are disappointed with this news – unfortunately sometimes such delays are necessary in all forms of entertainment, and especially in the case of a game experience as massive and complex as GTAV. To those of you saying or seeing various conspiracy theories about there being some other ulterior motive for this delay, rest assured that they’re all nonsense – literally the only reason we’ve delayed the release is because we want the game to be as good as it needs to be.

In this case, it seems more likely that Rockstar is being truthful on the matter and that there’s nothing else going on but slow-pokish work and a commitment to quality. To think they’d divert attention away from such a massive undertaking, which they’ve been working on for several years, so they can rush ports for the next-gen consoles, seems rather unlikely (and something only an analyst could dream up).

The reality is that Grand Theft Auto needs no sales help from next-gen consoles, and the idea that its sales and the sales of future DLC will be diminished by their release is a little absurd. This is going to be the game everyone wants to play come September 17, no matter what system it’s on. GTA V will sell 10 million copies long before the next-gen consoles are even released, and if the game lives up to expectations, its DLC will not be forgotten just because new consoles have launched.

Now let’s just hope for no more delays, and a monumental beast of a game for our PS3’s and Xbox 360’s come September!

Popular Cheats for Popular Games

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Halo 4, Assassin’s Creed 3 and Hitman: Absolution – I think it’s pretty safe to say that those are the four biggest games to have hit the Xbox 360 in recent months. We thought it might be fun to break down the most popular cheats for each title.

Black Ops 2

Our top cheats for Black Ops 2 to date are (in order): Better Multiplayer Performance, How-to: All Different Endings and Zombie Invincibility. There’s no real surprises there – everyone wants their multiplayer running better right? Knowing how to get all the alternate endings when you clock the game comes in handy and then there is invincibility on Zombies – a must for anyone!

Halo 4

Halo 4 currently has a lot less cheats listed with the Tea Bagging cheat taking top honors followed by the Avatar Awards listing. The Chat with Conan O’Brien easter egg was a distant third… Conan isn’t all that popular these days?

Assassin’s Creed 3

Turning to AC3, the aptly named “Cheats” is streaks ahead – afterall, who doesn’t want to activate some nice juicy cheats (you do need to work for them however)… Then we have the Costumes listing as well as the Unlockable Cheats listing (yes, there is two sets – make sure you check them both out!).

Hitman: Absolution

Hitman is the least popular game out of those we’ve covered today and it shows in the number of “cheats” we have for the game as well – just two of them. There is the Ice Cream truck murderer easter egg, and then just the list of Achievements for the game. Pretty bland stuff!

How do the finding above stack up for you? Feel free to send us your favorite cheats for the above (or any other) Xbox 360 game and we’ll gladly publish them for the greater good.

PS: We’ve been running a feature the last few weeks over on our Google+ page that pits two games against one another lets you vote which game you think is more entertaining. Recent results include Black Ops 2 beating Halo 4, and Assassin’s Creed 3 taking out Hitman: Absolution. Make sure you join our Google+ page to see what two titles go head to head this week!

Cheat Codes on the Nintendo Wii U

The Nintendo Wii U was released in the US on November 18 and and from a cheats side of things (come on, what else are we gonna cover!?) it’s looking pretty slow at this stage. While some cheats have been released for the original Nintendo launch titles (e.g. New Super Mario Bros. U and Nintendo Land), most cheats to date are simply replicas of the specific cheat, code or unlockable that you’ll find for the same game on an existing system (like the Xbox 360 or PS3). For instance, all the cheats for NBA 2K13 as well as 007 Legends and Assassin’s Creed 3 are the same on Wii U as they are on Xbox 360.

We think it will be a while until the cheats and codes start flowing on the new Wii U console and a couple of different new sites looking to specialize in this niche have popped up,. Here at Xbox360Cheats we have our money placed squarely on WUCheats for a number of reasons and if you visit it you should find a decent selection of cheats for most of the Wii U games in your collection.

That said, the bottom line is that it’s still a little too early to get excited about any really cool cheats for your Wii U games and for now if you’re stuck on a title already released for the Xbox 360, PS3 or PC, then just check out the cheats for the game on that platform, and you should find at least something.

Alternatively, maybe things will improve when our friends in Europe, Australia and Japan get their hands on the Wii U (November 30 for EU and AU, and December 8 for JP). Either way, expect things to improve!
