Remember those rumors about Sony making a movie based upon the famed Gran Turismo racing games? Well, today at Gamescom 2013, Sony has officially announced that said film project is in the works. Unfortunately, Sony’s not telling us anything about the story itself (other than fast cars being featured), but we do know it’ll be a “full length feature film.” Kazunori Yamauchi, Polyphony Digital head is helping make it along with filmmakers Mike de Luca and Dana Brunetti. When will their masterpiece be ready for theaters? We don’t know. What we do know, however, is that the latest iteration of the Gran Turismo gaming series, GT 6 will be making its debut on December 6th of this year.

While Microsoft continues to trip over itself in the lead up to Xbox One, Sony’s PlayStation 4 message is staying on target and sailing straight into gamers’ good graces. And, after an undisputed win at E3 this year, there’s little doubt Gamescom 2013 will slow Sony’s roll, instead giving the company yet another opportunity to increase its already positive mindshare and deliver on next-gen promises (PS Vita Remote Play, anyone?).

So, what can we expect from Sony’s center stage spectacle today? The company will probably dive a bit deeper into the particulars of its indie strategy and, hopefully, announce a hard date on that PS4 holiday release — which is what most of us care about, anyway. Beyond that, it’s anyone’s guess. So, hang tight, we’ll be back with the blow-by-blow (and every gloriously awkward corporate potshot) right here at 9AM PST / 12PM EST.

During EA’s press event at Gamescom 2013 in Cologne, the outfit revealed that FIFA 14 seasons that start on current-gen systems will easily be transported over to next-gen consoles when they arrive this fall. Saved seasons, FIFA Ultimate Teams, Virtual Pro and EA Sports Football Club info can all be carried to the shiny new Xbox One and PS4 as soon as that pre-order arrives or you’ll able to nab one off the shelves. You’ll be able to step foot on the pitch soon as the title launches around the globe next month.

It was just yesterday when we reported Microsoft was planning on making some “unique” announcements regarding its upcoming Xbox One. It looks like Microsoft won’t be having all of the fun during the show as Sony has announced they will also be holding their own press conference at Gamescom this year on August 20. (more…)

Ah, there is nothing quite like a sense of continuity in life, whether it is in the virtual or real world. After all, we all like to know what’s coming next, as it does seem to be part of our genetic make up to prepare for the future. Not only that, some of us too, have questions about whether there is life after death, with a large percentage of the population believing in the affirmative regardless of their religious inclinations, if any. Gaming, too, has to have a sense of continuity, and Battlefield 4 delivers just that – by allowing you to transfer your hard earned PS3 stats over to the PS4 when the latter finally hits the market.

DICE made this announcement concerning Battlefield 4, ensuring that all the amount of time, sweat, tears and perhaps even blood spent on Battlefield 4 on the PS3, will not go to waste when you perform a console upgrade to the Sony PS4. This coming October 29th, you are able to get back into the game without having to worry about starting right from the bottom. Not only that, Premium membership for Battlefield 4 will also make a return, and this particular membership allows you to enjoy themed digital expansion packs, new weekly content, and personalization options.
