Battlefield Hardline Characters Can Grow Extra Arms and Use the Force
If you're lucky enough, you may stumble upon an extremely rare reload animation while playing the Battlefield Hardline beta.
Despite only beginning on February 3, players have begun finding hidden reload easter eggs that range from silly to supernatural.

Bloodborne: Exploring its Vast Character Creator – IGN First
We're continuing strong through the first week of February's IGN First on Bloodborne with a dip into its robust character creator. Personalizing your wandering hero has always been an important facet of the Souls series, but Bloodborne definitely goes even deeper with a larger suite of customization options.
Big changes to character creator this time around include more models for both male and female characters (check out those sweet Victorian coats), the ability to give your character some glasses and make a frighteningly-close Harry Potter hunter (see the video), and a bunch of options for different voices of both genders. Note, this doesn't necessarily mean that your character is going to start suddenly giving monologues during the game. In the few hours I played, my hero definitely remained silent.
Condemned 3 Would Be Made ‘Without Interference or Limitations’

a few years ago.” Following the post, IGN reached out to Hall for more details on his plan to revive the franchise, which debuted to critical acclaim as an Xbox 360 launch title in 2005.
“I don’t have a short list at all,” Hall said when asked if he had anyone in mind to hand the IP off to. “I want to give every interested indie studio out there a real opportunity of consideration. I’m looking for passion, creativity, drive, discipline, and determination. I am interested in receiving proposals and ideas. Please send them to
