I'm Back with more GTA V and The Witcher 3!

Wow, so I have not made a post in a couple of weeks. I am sorry for that, I was on vacation and was really busy with real life work. Now that everything is settling back down I am jumping right back in where I left off. Tomorrow I will have a week in review post (more like a few weeks in review) where I will weigh in on some of the exciting things that have gone down in the month of August (TI3, some more changes to XboxOne, Saints Row IV, Bioshock Infinite DLC, GTA V hinting a PC release, and more.)

All that said, lets get right down to what Rockstar released today. The new trailer for GTA V showcasing the online multiplayer once again raises the bar on what we can expect from the next installment in the series. As I said in my post about the gameplay trailer a month ago, everything that Rockstar is doing is right. They are making all the right moves, leaving the garbage from previous GTA's behind and really breathing a breath of fresh air into what I was starting to think of as a stagnant series. The more info that is released about GTA V, the more I want this game. Keep up the good work Rockstar!

Yesterday we were all treated to a new trailer for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. I am a big fan of the first 2 in the series and I believe they are criminally underrated (The Witcher 2 is one of the most immersive and visually impressive games out there today!) and it looks like 3 is bringing the it to the next level. This cinematic trailer really shows off the next level in graphical fidelity, of course the gameplay wont look as polished as a cinematic, but this trailer is one of the first that I really had to pause for a second to realize that this was a game and not live action, the graphics are just that good. The new REDengine 3 designed by the wonderful development team over at CD projekt RED is looking to challenge the likes of the Frostbite 3 and the yet to be seen Source 2 and Unreal 4 engines. Even though the release is a ways off (right now it is slated for sometime in 2014) the hype has started and it will only grow.

That's all I have for today. I just wanted to make a quick post to say that I am still here and I have a lot in the works for the coming months. I was chosen to be a contributor to whatculture.com so I will be alternating posting things here and over there as the articles I write for them must be exclusive. More gameplay videos, review videos, and e-sports casting videos will be coming soon. I might sit down this weekend and record some type of episode show I want to make (no name yet, suggestions are welcome!) but other than that, come back tomorrow for the week (half month?) in review post and I am back to trudging through Tomb Raider and will write up a review in the next few weeks plus starting new games and keeping the content flowing.

Thanks for reading and until next time:

P.S.
The new Humble Bundle was released yesterday and if you have not picked it up, I HIGHLY suggest grabbing it. ~$5 for Battlefield 3, Dead Space, Dead Space 3, Burnout Paradise, Mirrors Edge, Medal of Honor, The Sims 3, AND Crysis 2! Even if you are agains EA and Origin, most games come with a Steam key and all the money goes to Charity! I have my opinions about EA but this is seriously one of the best deals I have ever seen. Get it and I will see you out there!
