GTA5 will release on PS4...eventually

The greatly waited for open world gangsta shoot em up game has finally got an official release date for PS3, on September 17th.

Current reports suggest that, as GTA5 is so close to the PS4 release timeframe (holiday season) will we be seeing it on the next gen console? Or will we have to wait another 5 years to see GTA6 on the PS4?

Well, its definitely not the latter, as according to an analyst, he reckons GTA5 will soon enough come to the PS4 and even the Xbox 720 once they both release.

Michael Pachter states, with a reasonably fair and true comment:

"If you go back to the Playstation 3 E3, the 06 E3, they showed Red Dead Redemption, remember? What year did that bad boy come out? 2010? It only took four years and it was shown, it was shown during a launch event. So that's about the pace i think Rockstar is on. I think Rockstar will have a game before the PS5"

Well lets hope hes's right!

New Xbox announced in a few weeks!

The new Playstation which was revealed on the 20th turned many heads, especially Microsoft's as they now plan to battle it out head to head with Sony, and will be reportedly announcing their new home console within the next few weeks.

Possible prototype design of the 720?

Its already been stated that Microsoft will be launching their new console in April, however it seems to be more probable that they'll release it before that, at Games Developer Conference.

The new Xbox is rumoured to block 'used' games, ensuring users can only play and purchase brand new games for their console.

One feature which may make it official debut could be the Microsoft Illlumiroom shown below.

PS4 to stream games

Sony Corp. is planning to stream the games played on its new Playstation 4, still to be revealed.

The new games console will be revealed on the 20th February, Wednesday, and will hopefully include the streaming feature at launch for all gamers to use.

The streaming service will be one of the new enhanced features of the console which has never been seen on any other major console in the market, other than OnLive.

The online streaming service could prove to be a hit or miss as with OnLive, as they went bankrupt last year and were forced to sell on.

Well, we will all have to wait until 20th Feb for Sony's big conference which will reveal the PS4, and thats only a matter of days away!

I'm excited! Are you? What do you expect from Sony come 20th Feb?

Skype video messages coming to iOS, Android and Windows Mobile

Microsoft, will, at the end of April be hopefully releasing their video messaging service on Skype, allowing users to quickly and easily post short video messages for their friends and family to see when they are not available.

As of right now, the feature has been implemented on Windows desktop, however users can only see the video messages and not send their own. Meaning that the feature is still some what in beta version with a few bugs.

Quote from The Verge

Skype told The Verge that users will be able to send 20 free video messages. After that they'll have to pay for the Skype Premium subscription, at $5 a month, to keep sending video messages/

What do you think of Skype's new messaging feature? Will you be using it?

Apple testing a watch like iOS Device.

Apple testing a watch like iOS Device.

Apple is currently testing a device sported as a watch which will carry out some of the functions of their Smartphone the iPhone.

Apple's idea to rethink about the way we use technology is nothing new, Microsoft in 2003 revealed a wearable smart phone type of watch called SPOT, so the technology nor the ideas are something that Apple has innovated themselves.

However, if Apple is looking to implement this technology into daily lives of millions of people, lets hope they have some nifty features up their sleeves.

They could possibly invent more features than to just answering calls and reading text messages via your wrist. Possibly they could use the iWatch as some sort of multimedia device, just like the small iPod Nano, allowing users to listen music by attaching the wrist watch with the iPod Nano, for convenience.

Apple looking to ditch pass code's for new image recognition system

Incoming reports have suggested that Apple will soon be ditching the current 4 digit passcode system on iOS devices, replacing it with their newly patented image recognition software.

This was brought into the light by US Patent and Trademark Office, this week when Apple's patent for the system was finally processed.

Apple feel that their current pass code system is now too easily approachable and accessible for hackers and thieves.

They seem to be wanting to take a different approach to unlocking content, not by the standard 4 digit pass codes, however something completely different, like Facebook's approach, by prompting the user to identify their friends pictures on their profiles, and if they identified them successfully, they will then have access to their account.

This is something Apple could implement which would definately change the way we secure our phones and make them much harder to be accessed by thieves/hackers. Especially when a GUI is involved more heavily than just a simple number pad.
