Good evening everyone here! The first thing to write about is “PC Gamer” magazine. Now all little dirty secrets are unmasked! We contacted them and now are waiting for official response. However, editor published such post on magazine’s official forum: “Rockstar didn’t announce official release date, but as a real Rockstar’s fan you should know when it always happens”. Anyway, the official news is that GTA 4 definitely will be released on PC. But even that’s not the only damn great news today! These are the most official news ever published about GTA 4. Are you ready? Here it comes – visit ESRB’s website and type “Grand” in search. Results are just awesome – “Platforms: Windows PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3” That’s all! Let’s fucking celebrate!

The latest rumour in Quatermann’s section of EGM this month, speculates that Rockstar’s first upcoming DLC pack for GTA IV (exclusive to the Xbox 360 platform) will introduce an unknown, mysterious biker character. Not much else is known at all, but apparently, you can also expect more new characters to be revealed in DLC episode 2 as well.

Call of Duty developer Infinity Ward has discussed its future and upcoming projects, as well as the possibility of a new non-Call of Duty IP.
Speaking on its official website blog, the company said it has decided to “reup” its contract with Activision, which has had significant impact on its next project.
“The biggest question I’m probably asked the most on any given day is, ‘What are you guys working on now?!’; Especially since it’s been nearly 9 months after we’ve shipped (the currently #1 most played game on Xbox Live) Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare,” the blog reads.
“While I can’t quite say what it is, that we’re currently working on it, I did want to give you a status report on exactly what’s happening here at Infinity Ward and where we’re going as a studio.
“We’re excited to announce that in the recent months we have decided to reup on our contract with Activision publishing. The recently renegotiated deal may not seem like much of an impact from the outside perspective, but it has laid the ground work and kick started our future project, as well as the possibility of a unique new IP by Infinity Ward, that we’ll have complete control over.
“We’re excited to be working on our next project, but it’s going to be quite a while before I can share any details on exactly what that project is.”
The company didn’t discuss the details of its contract “reup” with Activison (the publisher already owns the studio since 2003), but rumours are already swirling around cyberspace.
According to sources speaking to CVG cousin Next-Gen.biz, the updated contract is in order to guarantee Infinity Ward is the sole developer of the CoD franchise after World at War later this year. Unlucky, Treyarch.
As for the talk of new IP, there’s already plenty of chatter that the developer may be exploring the sci-fi genre - either in an even more modern CoD or a new franchise altogether. This could go very, very well, or horribly, dream-crushingly wrong.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has today announced that the DualShock 3 controller will be available across Europe on July 4, 2008. The wireless controller includes the motion sensing of the previously available Sixaxis plus a vibration function which has been sorely missing for PS3 gamers.
David Reeves, President and CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, commented: “We are delighted to confirm that DualShock 3 will be released in SCEE territories in early July. We hope this will add to the intense gaming experience for our fans, as we continue to evolve PS3, its software and its peripherals.”
Sony says that almost all future PS3 releases will support DualShock 3 and is already compatible with many existing PS3 titles, including Resistance: Fall of man, GT5: Prologue and Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.
DualShock 3 will be released on July 4 priced £39.99.

Bill Gates may have only just said his goodbyes, but the Microsoft machine keeps on running with the company announcing information about the release of Windows 7.
The paint may not have even dried on the Windows that is Vista, but it seems that Microsoft is already looking to launch its successor within the next two years.
In a letter to enterprise and business customers on Tuesday, vice president of Microsoft Bill Veghte announced that the approximate launch date for Windows 7 is January 2010.
Seventh heaven
In the letter, Veghte wrote: “Our plan is to deliver Windows 7 approximately three years after the January 2007 general availability launch date of Windows Vista.
“You’ve also let us know you don’t want to face the kinds of incompatibility challenges with the next version of Windows you might have experienced early with Windows Vista.
“Our goal is to ensure that the migration process from Windows Vista to Windows 7 is straightforward.”
Well, if Intel is anything to go by, it won’t be the migration from Vista to Windows 7 that will be the problem, it will be the migration from XP to Windows 7 that most computer users will be worried about.

Kaz Hirai and the boys at Sony are all about profitability. They don’t just throw these slides together for kicks; they mean it. As part of the company’s accelerated “cost down efforts,” the PlayStation 3 will be getting smaller, cooler, cheaper, more efficient and generally awesomer RSX graphics chips starting this fall. We’re talking 65nm manufacturing processes, people. The good stuff.
Kaz noted in his corporate strategy speech earlier today that the Cell processor has been manufactured with 65nm process technology as of “last holiday.” Both were originally manufacture at 90nm, which was charming at first, but now seems rather vulgar. We’re updating our console power consumption charts in anticipation of the new RSX’s release.
