  Pre-Order God of War III Remastered and Receive PS Now Rentals for God of War I and II

  If you really feel like forking over $40 (USD) for God of War III Remastered, you may be happy to hear you also get to play God of War I and God of War II. I suppose that's the good news.
  
  The bad news is that you only get 90-day rentals for those two games from PlayStation Now. Yeah, you don't even get to keep those games, they're merely rentals.
  

  If you pre-order now at retail or on PlayStation Store, you’ll get the brand new God of War – Fall of Olympus Dynamic Theme

  This Used to be Doom 4

  Mark Bristol shared his highlight reel from his time spent working at Blur Studio as a cinematics director. As part of his footage, there was a brief segment that showed off what Doom 4 used to look like.
  
  I hope you like your Doom games looking like some weird Terminator meets Fallout meets RAGE mashup.

  The First Three Hours of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

  I finally had a chance to play The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt today. The first time I played, I decided to stream it from my PS4 for three hours. I will say that there are a mix of story missions, side quests, exploration, played a round of cards, death, and a butt or two. If you don't want to have any spoilers ruined for you, don't watch. If you want to see the early bits of a game that will probably take most everyone 100 or so hours in a "typical" playthrough. Also, for those that hate my voi...

  Rumor: The Last Guardian to Have Presence at E3 2015

  Look, I'm usually super skeptical about rumors nowadays, especially when it comes to anything related to The Last Guardian. With that in mind, I will say that the following seemed notable enough to at least mention.
  
  A few posts from a mysterious user on NeoGAF seems to indicate that they have some sort of knowledge that the rest of us plebeians do not possess. When asked in a thread on NeoGAF whether or not The Last Guardian will be shown at E3 2015, the answer was a very unambiguous...

  A Look at the Audio Obstruction System in Battlefield 4 CTE

  New to the Battlefield 4 CTE is the audio obstruction system. This new system slightly tunes how you hear audio in Battlefield 4 depending on whether or not there is an obstruction or object between you and the origin of the sound. Youtube user David Sirland put together a handy video that shows off this new system at work. In the video, white signals indicate that there is no obstruction between you and the sound origin. Red indicators signify that the sound is obstructed and modifies th...

  This is How Megalodon was Discovered in Battlefield 4

  Allow Jackfrags to take you on a journey that I'm still trying to wrap my mind around here. This is how the Megalodon easter egg was found in Battlefield 4. Specifically, this is how the Megalodon was discovered in the CTE for Battlefield 4. That's right, something that people thought was in the game since near its launch was actually only added in a recent CTE patch. Oh well, it's still pretty cool.
