Is World of Warcraft taking a leaf out of Call of Duty's book all these years after that multiplayer shooting craze began? Blizzard has just announced plans for a fundamental overhaul to player-versus-player combat for expansion World of Warcraft: Legion, which arrives on or before 21st September 2016. The plans include changing completely how PVP will reward you for playing, as well as the surprise intention - for a game based so heavily around the concept of 'better gear' - of making everyone's statistics the same for battles, regardless of equipment (although there a few exceptions - see below).

A couple of days ago, reports emerged that an exploit that been found on PlayStation 4, giving users complete access to the system RAM of Sony's latest console. Hacker CTurt revealed the methodology, which involves exploiting PS4's WebKit browser, and somehow giving the process Kernel-level access - essentially the highest security level available within the system.

Hideo Kojima was apparently considering a tranquil year on a deserted island following his recent departure from Konami (and completion of Metal Gear Solid 5) - until a pep talk by a Hollywood friend changed his mind. Keep it up, the friend urged, you owe your talent that much. "Hearing that affirmed to me that my role in this world is to keep on making big games for as long as I can," Kojima told Simon Parkin for the New Yorker. "That is the mission I've been given in life." And that, I expect, will be a relief for his fans to hear.

Indie success Rocket League has raked in more than $50m since it launched in July.

Here's a question that's become familiar in recent years: what is it you actually do in this game then? Sean Murray of Hello Games, the small studio behind the mind-bogglingly large No Man's Sky, has been fielding it for a while, and now it's the turn of Media Molecule on behalf of its ambitious PlayStation 4 exclusive Dreams. Alex Evans, Dreams' technical director and the studio's co-founder, is something of a veteran in this regard - rewind a few years to a time before LittleBigPlanet's release in 2008, when all there was to go on was a high-minded GDC demo, and it's a question that was being asked regularly. This is a studio with a knack, it seems, for making games that can be impossible to pin down at first sight.

Of all the games I expected to hear being referenced as an inspiration behind Garden Warfare 2, it wouldn't have been Destiny. And yet, as we sat down to play PopCap's latest, I must have heard the developer describe their new direction via comparisons with Bungie's gigantic shared-world shooter, perhaps three or four times.

Over the next few weeks, you're likely to receive a number of cards that will be rifled through for gifts of currency and then unceremoniously tossed aside. This year, we've decided to buck the trend by giving the gift of cards that you'll actually use.

UPDATE 3.20PM GMT: A second video has surfaced that shows Star Citizen creator Chris Roberts flying a spaceship from space down onto a planet.

A tarted-up version of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories is out on iOS that runs in 60 frames-per-second if you have an iPhone 6s/6s Plus or an iPad Pro. If you have an iPhone 5/5s it runs normally, presumably in 30fps, and if you have an iPhone 4/4s it won't run at all.

UPDATE 17/11/5 2:35pm: Digital Foundry has taken a look at patch 1.02 for Just Cause 3 and records that loading times - on respawns, at least - are indeed "significantly improved". However, those looking for performance boosts may be disappointed.

Is the new generation of console hardware holding back creators from fully realising their visions for next generation visuals? It's a question we've been pondering recently with the release of Assassin's Creed Syndicate. There's no doubt that it's an accomplished title, but stacked up against last year's Unity running fully maxed on PC, there's a sense that it feels like a backward step from a technological perspective.

80 Days developer Inkle has dished out the first details of its next, still untitled project.

There's a lot of interest around no-fantasy medieval role-playing game Kingdom Come: Deliverance. It looks great, it has one of the most realistic sword-fighting systems I've seen in a game and it's rooted in actual history.
