GTA Online is a shambles. And that's not always a criticism. The disorder is part of what makes it so entertaining; you've played better driving games and better shooters, but everything in Los Santos is so gloriously chaotic and unpredictable that it's no surprise many people are persevering with it - despite myriad issues that would bulldoze just about any other online game. When it works, it's often a joy.

UPDATE: NetherRealm Studios chief Ed Boon has suggested it's unlikely an Xbox One version of Injustice will be released.

This qualifies as forward thinking: Zombie Studios, maker of the so-so shooter Blacklight, is putting together a procedurally generated first-person scare-fest called Daylight. It's one of the first Unreal Engine 4 games and it's coming to PC and PS4.

Hinterland has released the first gameplay footage of its first-person survival sim The Long Dark.

One week on from the end of this year's Eurogamer Expo - EGX for short - and we've rolled up the blue carpet, sent back all the PS4s and Xbox Ones (sad face) and said goodbye to Earls Court for another year. All that's left is the worldwide hunt, involving 15 international agencies, for patient zero of the Expo Flu. (I'm typing this in one of those hazmat suits from that Dustin Hoffman movie with the monkey. The gloves make it quite difficult, so sorry for any typsos.)

The PlayStation 4 controller will work with a PC, Sony has confirmed.

Andrew Ryan chose to build the impossible, but it was Ken Levine who decided to rebuild it. He chose Rapture. Again. A city where the artist would not fear the polygon count; where the programmer would not be bound by primitive Unreal shaders, Where great ambition would not be constrained by the limited expectations of DLC! With the sweat of Irrational's brow, Rapture is reborn as it was always meant to be - an objectivist utopia without equal, with a little film noir spice sprinkled on the top for good measure.

UPDATE: The Half-Life 3 trademark registration that set the internet alight last week has been removed.

Xbox Live Achievements have hit the Android platform with the release of Microsoft's real-time continuous word tournament game Wordament on the Google Play store.

Valve has revealed the specifications of its Steam Machine prototype.

The genitals were a mistake. More precisely, the genital physics were a mistake - after all, it's difficult to imagine any programmer plotting to make a character's appendage windmill around their groin like a sausage in a washing machine. But, for Mount Your Friends creator 28 year-old Canadian Daniel Steger, it was a welcome mistake. Since its launch earlier in the summer, this Xbox Indie Game has become the programmer's most successful release - one of the most popular games ever on Microsoft's service - and, arguably the first video game to find fame and popularity through penis dynamics.

So here we go - a complete transcript of Digital Foundry's discussions on the Xbox One architecture with two integral members of the team that helped create the hardware. We're looking at around an hour's worth of very dense tech talk here, much of which you will not have seen before.

This week was all about GTA Online. Or rather, its entertainingly shambolic launch. I haven't been paying too much attention to how the general UK gaming public has reacted to it, but over in the states there's been an endless amount of complaints, many of which are mind-boggling in their vitriol and anger. Of course, this is to be expected, but at the same time, it does throw up an interesting discussion. I made a Twitter quip about GTA Online's issues sorting out the people who've played MMOs and understand server issues from those who have no clue, and that elicited some interesting responses.

Meet the graphics card that comprehensively out-scores Nvidia's GTX Titan on virtually every benchmark or gaming frame-rate test you care to throw at it. The Radeon HD 7990 - codenamed Malta - achieves its colossal performance levels by combining two top-end "Tahiti" graphics chips onto one board, running them at speeds exceeding 1GHz, and combining them with ultra-fast 6.5GHz GDDR5 memory. It's effectively two Radeon HD 7970 GHz Editions combined into one product, ensuring simply phenomenal compute performance. So why do the Nvidia competitors achieve so much popularity amongst enthusiasts while the HD 7990 has been largely overlooked by the community?

It's befitting of a game that features an amnesiac protagonist that the recounts of its players can vary wildly from one person to the next. This variation can leave one player scratching their head in befuddlement when they hear of the events that befell another, but it's not due to anyone misremembering quest details, game features or the story's closing sequence. Instead, it has as much to do with when you played The Witcher 2 as how you played it.

Welcome to your weekly video debriefing from Outside Xbox, in a week in which GTA Online launched to the mighty sound of server trouble and lots of people standing around in a car park waiting for a race with Lamar. There were a few teething problems, in case you hadn't noticed.

This is about how your goal in a game can change. Where you find something self-contained within it that becomes your focus, rather than going to town Y to complete quest X. It's about how I played Pokémon Black to a certain point as a trainer and then, independently of the game's arc and pretty much accidentally, started shipping out battery-farmed Pokémon to trainers around the world.

Borderlands 2 publisher 2K and Gearbox Software have announced a promotion in which they're giving away $100K worth of prizes in an in-game loot hunt.
