Weekly Recap: Evolve Delayed And 5 Other Big Stories
This week's recap is a little late off the factory line but it's here nonetheless. Things kicked off with a bit of excitement in the previous week when modders managed to find out what was inside GTA V's files to uncover new data and details on the heists. The new info is very promising and seems to indicate that online heists are coming sooner rather than later.
BioShock has also made the leap onto mobile devices. The game looks worse and has worse controls, but BioShock is BioShock, right? The news that managed to rock the core of the gaming community was the announcement of Evolve from Turtle Rock Studios being delayed from out of the crowded October line-up and into early February of 2015. There's also indication that Sleeping Dogs is being ported over to the Xbox One and PS4. And long time Bioware producer Casey Hudson has parted ways from the company.
