This is What GTA 5 Looks Like Running at 60 fps on PC
Rockstar has released a brand new trailer for Grand Theft Auto V on PC, showing the title running at 60 frames-per-second.
First announced earlier this week, the new trailer is truly gorgeous. Check it out below:
Current gen hardware versions of the GTA V are running at 1080p, 30 fps, on both Xbox One and PS4, which means the PC version will run at a 100% greater framerate, which we can all safely assume will never be brought up by PC gamers in online arguments.
Quantum Break Delayed to 2016
Microsoft has announced Quantum Break will not release before next year.
A statement issued by the company claims the decision was made in order to avoid the end of 2015 being too crowded by Microsoft exclusives.
"We’ve got the strongest games lineup in Xbox history right now, with 2015 blockbuster exclusives like ‘Halo 5: Guardians,’ ‘Rise of the Tomb Raider,’ ‘Fable Legends,’ and ‘Forza Motorsport 6,’ and more we’ll announce in the coming months,” said Shannon Loftis, Head of Publishing. “With so many games launching this year, moving ‘Quantum Break’ to 2016 extends our incredible portfolio into next year with a monster new IP.”
We heard last year that in the Quantum Break video game you'll play as "Jack Joyce in a desperate fight to stop the fracture, that threatens to cause the end of time. In the
Daredevil’s Kingpin Wants to Kick Spidey’s Butt
Daredevil, the first Marvel/Netflix series, is hitting on April 10, and in advance of the show’s debut we sat down with the Kingpin of crime himself, Vincent D'Onofrio, to talk about this new aspect at the MCU.
We Won't See Daredevil in Captain America: Civil War
One fun item that came up during out chat with D'Onofrio was concerning Spider-Man, who recently joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe and therefore can now theoretically face off against Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. the Kingpin. A frequent enemy of both Daredevil’s and Spidey’s (Fisk’s first appearance was actually in The Amazing Spider-Man #50), Kingpin’s big-screen rights were previously held by Fox (which also had Daredevil before the rights reverted to Marvel in 2012). But now that Marvel can use Spidey as well as Kingpin, a match-up would seem to be inevitable.
Another Amiibo Goes Retailer Exclusive
Nintendo's Jigglypuff amiibo will be exclusive to Target's online store in North America.
According to a listing on the retailer's website, the NFC-enabled pink figurine can only be purchased through Target, and will not be sold in stores. You can put in your pre-order right now, with an expected ship date of "on or near" May 29.
During last night's Nintendo Direct, the company announced that the next wave of Super Smash Bros. amiibo is coming in May. This upcoming batch includes Robin, Lucina, Wario, Pac-Man, Charizard, and Ness, who we discovered will be exclusive to GameStop.
New, Quirky Indie Platformer Aims to Tackle Prejudice
Butcherlab has announced quirky indie platformer Theo and Lizzy.
Players take up the role of Theo, a young man who comes from a family of ground-dwellers. Unfortunately for Theo, the most important person in his life, Lizzy, doesn’t live on the ground, she lives on the ceiling.
“Lizzy
a young woman,” reads the presser, “whom, like all her friends and family, lives on the ceiling. This is how it has always been. That was until Theo found out he was able to do something very special indeed...”
In a nutshell, Theo and Lizzy is a story of love and prejudice: two starry-eyed lovers, each of whom come from different backgrounds on a quest to be together in spite of their family’s wishes. Think Romeo and Juliet mixed with elements of the novel Noughts & Crosses, only a platformer, with lots of running on ceilings.
NASA Finds Further Evidence That Ancient Mars Was Habitable for Life
NASA's Curiosity rover has found further evidence that ancient Mars was habitable for life with the first detection of a biologically friendly form of nitrogen on its surface.
The science team used Curiosity’s Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument suite to detect the release of nitrogen compounds and nitric oxide gas by heating up soil samples taken from various sites. These include "Rocknest," along with "John Klein" and "Cumberland" Yellowknife Bay drill sites in Gale Crater.
The discovery adds to previous evidence that the crater and potential former lake site, Yellowknife Bay, may have hosted an ancient habitable environment containing the building blocks needed for life: fresh water, carbon and energy sources.

Poltergeist Reboot Director Reports Disturbing Occurrences on Set
The director of the upcoming Poltergeist reboot is keeping the infamous 'Poltergeist curse' alive and well.
During a Reddit AMA (on, er, April 1), Gil Kenan said he and his crew experienced strange phenomena during shooting.
"The location for the house, during shooting, I chose because it had a strange and unnecessary field that the houses of this particular community were built around", wrote Kenan. "And we found - throughout production - that we had persistent and repeatable equipment field only on that strange plot of land.
"For instance, lights that could turn on anywhere else in the neighborhood would blow out the second you'd try to light them on this plot."
