As with every new day comes fresh news from all of over the gaming-sphere. In this Monday through Friday post we will try to hit all of the big news that you want to see!

14May2015 – It looks to be a day of speculation as we are getting the inside scoop for multiple games.

GT7: Playstation fans have been chomping at the bit for some time for information on their beloved racing series, Gran Turismo. The good news? – Audio Designer: Mike Caviezel has joined the team to deliver insane sound from all of your favorite vehicles. He has been in the industry over 18 years and most notably gave Forza Motorsport its reputation for audio with depth and accuracy. On the flip-side, we unfortunately will have to wait longer, as Gran Turismo 7 is facing another setback and the release date has been pushed all the way to 2017. Now don’t claw your eyes out because we have had a couple of good titles to hold down the fort, most recently in Project CARS.

NWC: If you didn’t get a chance to watch Nintendo’s announcement video yesterday then you didn’t hear that they are bringing back one of their oldest traditions, The Nintendo World Championship. It was last held in 1990 and now at its reinvention it will hold qualifiers at Best Buy stores around the country. The finals will be during E3 week (June 14). Check out the video and enjoy the comedy of Mario being a weight coach!

Other Notables

Playstation:

The blue controller was a smash hit, one that I purchased the day I bought my PS4. Playstation has announced the Magma Red controller will be coming to the states at last and if you are one for having the coolest controllers, red looks absolutely stellar. This will only be available at Gamestop!

To add insult to injury, Playstation is looking to have a rough holiday season as PS4’s Ratchet & Clank will be joining Uncharted 4 in being delayed until 2016. There is some speculation that this is a move to pair its release with a movie of the same title – set to be released 29 April 2016.

Xbox:

PayDay 2: Crimewave Edition has finally been given a release date by developers Overkill & 505 Games – Preorder now to receive the game digitally on release day – 12June for EU and 16June for North America

Xbox users rejoice in knowing you will not be getting a downgraded version of The Witcher 3, developer CD Projekt Red, has stated that the Xbox One version will be able to run the game in 1080p. See the statement they released below:

The video you’re now watching is grabbed directly from an Xbox One console. We’ve been working to give gamers an even better experience on Xbox One and, on day 1, we’ll bring you dynamic scaling from 900p to 1080p. We’re not much more than a week before launch, but we’re still fighting for every line of code – we want gamers to get the best possible experience we can deliver.

Nintendo:

Nintendo NX is the current cover for the console to replace the Wii U, as it has not been as successful as the company projected. Nintendo has stated this is strictly a gaming platform and it should pair with the current devices in their lineup. Don’t expect to hear much more about this new project until 2016 though, as cited by several sources.
