When both of these incidents took place, there was controversy. Debate ensued with two sides each offering up different points and demanding equal validity. But Sony has been met with almost universal admonishment after pulling The Interview. A quick search of The Interview mentions on Twitter reveals a starkly one-sided picture. A tweet by Judd Apatow (long-time associate of Rogen's) calling the move by Sony "disgraceful" was retweeted more than 5 thousand times in 11 hours.

And fans certainly seem to think so - or more specifically, video game modders . For those unfamiliar, "modding" derives from the verb "modify," and refers to the act of altering hardware or software to perform a function not originally intended by the designer - like dropping a superhero in the middle of **Grand Theft Auto ** , for exam

While the odds of a next-gen console release remain relatively slim it's important to note that the move does make sense from a business perspective. Given the time taken to produce an expected PC port, Rockstar could certainly afford to put together a PS4/Xbox One upgrade at the same time. Indeed, the recent success of Crystal Dynamic's Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition demonstrates the viability of such a move — a minimum of fuss for a maximum of pro

Tweets about Hatred are much more skewed, and conversation about GTA V, much discussed in the video game press, seems to paint a two-sided issues. Defense of Target's decision as not censorship and a positive step toward equality were just as rampant, if not more so, than concerns over the kind of precedent their move set. Consider this, if it's not censorship for Target to pull the game, what if all retailers pulled the game? It's well within their rights, but it would achieve the exact same effect as a blatant censorship did. Thus, a de facto censorship - a universal lack of availability that's not necessarily enforced by law.

Call of Duty: Ghosts has a lot to overcome if it wants to even come close to GTA V Trailer Countdown V 's sales numbers. Even so, Activision seems confident that even if it isn't Call of Duty: Ghosts , their flagship franchise will hold the record again by the time Rockstar release the next game in the Grand Theft Auto ser

"We know that our unaided awareness for Ghosts is leading the way against other unreleased triple-A titles. Our digital content has proven extremely popular and Black Ops II has sold more than 3m units in the

That said, there's hardly much to complain about in Julio's mod; and if you keep watching, you'll even see Iron Man perform an elbow drop into a tank and swat a flying helicopter to the ground. The destruction factor is fun, entertaining, and spectacular, but it provides only a tease of what the character is capable of in terms of story and developm

Rocksteady managed to combine Batman's impressive weapons and action with a compelling storyline and even more compelling three-dimensional world. Video game developers should take note of Julio's successes as well as the various missing components to expand upon the mod and create an actual franchise for the character. And if they can convince Robert Downey Jr. to voice the character, the game could very well be a success before it even hits store shel

The popular franchise has proven a suitable playground for modification, most notably by JulioNIB , who put Hulk and Spider-Man in GTA IV a few years back. And now, the modder has created an impressive and authentic Iron Man mod for GTA V that proves why the hero is so fit for the gaming screen. Check out the video ab

Of course, the PC isn’t the only medium currently lacking in GTA 5 goodness. Releasing just weeks after Rockstar's latest triumph, both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles are equally eager to receive the title. While Rockstar ruled out the move as recently as September of last year, new information has now emerged to offer a tiny sliver of hope, where an 8th-gen outing is concer

While the appearance of PS4 and Xbox One branded copies ought to be taken with a hefty pinch of salt, the Czech company certainly isn't the first to list the title as being PC compatible. European news outlet Gamereactor recently received word that a Scandinavian store - Elgiganten had begun accepting pre-orders for the port — a rumor later confirmed by one of Elgiganten's own branch managers. Amazon France was also found to be listing a PC copy of the game, though it was later removed, while Amazon Germany has continued to display the product — detailing it as both Vista and Windows 7 compati

Regarding romance in GTA V , Dan Houser (Vice President, Rockstar Games) said that he didn't think it would work for the story Rockstar is trying to tell and the characters that feature in that narrative. Although, romance will not play a role in GTA V , Rockstar mentioned that each of the three protagonists will have their own set of friends that players will be able to get to know during their time in Los Santos.
