Good morning. And happy GTA V day to you all.
Xbox 360 gamers have been warned not to install the ‘Play’ disc of GTA V. Rockstar said via Twitter: “For optimal performance, we recommend not installing the play disc.”
Rockstar has outlined the YouTube policy for GTA V. The company says it retains “the right to remove content we find objectionable on a case by case basis and to change our policy from time to time, but we do promise if there is anything we do change we will make sure to let you know.” Basically no spoilers, pre-release footage or in-game entertainment (TV shows, etc.) will be allowed.

The sequel to PayDay 2 (PayDay 3 we assume) may get a competitive ‘Cops vs Robbers’ mode to go along with the co-operative side of things. [More on CVG]
Two pieces of DLC are scheduled for Saints Row IV this week. The one is GATV (Yes, an obvious parody of a game releasing today) and the other is the ‘Wild West’ DLC. Details are a little thin on the ground otherwise.
The next-generation trade-in/upgrade options for FIFA 14 have been announced for the US and UK by EA. Most options will allow you to trade in your current-generation copy of the game and pay in around $10 to get the PS4 or Xbocx One version. Details can be found here. It is still to be revealed whether South Africans will get the same deal for FIFA 14 or any of the other titles that qualify.
Activision has detailed their trade-in options for Call of Duty Ghosts. Again, the main focus is on the US, UK and Europe, but hopefully other countries will be announced in time. For full details, check out the Call of Duty Blog.
A post-launch patch for Gran Turismo 6 will most likely improve the game’s audio, as there is apparently no significant improvement over GT5’s engine noises currently. You will also not be able to transfer data from GT5. This is according to series creator Kazunori Yamauchi. [More on Eurogamer]
NBA Live 14 will be out on 19 November (in the US presumably) on PS4 and Xbox One. The first screen was also released to coincide with the announcement. [via AllGamesBeta]
Criterion Games has – by its own “choice and by design” – shrunk its workforce to less than twenty people. The team is now fifteen people strong because “we would rather work a small team all focused on gameplay rather than a huge team split by discipline”. [More on Eurogamer]
New information on the Steam Box can be expected next week according to Valve’s Gabe Newell. [More on CVG]
