I know. You've heard it all before.

When it comes to world-building, few can compete with Rockstar and the results of its phenomenal RAGE engine. For their time, both Grand Theft Auto 4 and Red Dead Redemption offered best-in-class world simulation and the arrival of GTA5 allows us to see the technology at its peak on the current-gen consoles. Time-lapse video accelerates the pace of the game world, offering up a unique view on the both the level of detail in the simulation - and the compromises made.

Batman Arkham Origins has topped the UK all-format charts, albeit with half the launch week sales of Rocksteady's Batman Arkham City.

It's tempting to imagine Sports Interactive's Miles Jacobson experiencing some kind of Damascene moment while visiting Watford's London Colney training ground this summer (for an epiphany to occur at Vicarage Road would perhaps be too neat). An inter-squad kickaround, perhaps, interrupted by a bellow of "get it in the mixer" in Gianfranco Zola's distinctive, Sardinian tenor. Or a blank look from Troy Deeney when asked whether he ever felt like he'd have more stamina towards the end of games if he closed people down 10 per cent less.

Do you remember the famous Honda ad with the diesel engine that went scudding around the countryside, making the world beautiful? The one with the flamingos and the whistling and with good old Garrison Keillor singing a song about the power of hating things? Can hate be good/ Can hate be great/ Can hate be something we don't hate? Reece Millidge helped make that.

Every Sunday, we pull something out of the Eurogamer archive that you may not have read at the time or may have forgotten about. Today's piece was published a couple of months prior to the release of Just Dance 2, on 6th August 2010, as Ubisoft's unlikely Wii title from the previous Christmas continued to rock the game sales charts, and offers an insight into how the French publisher reached such giddy heights.

It's been feeling like a bit of a slow news week over here in the States, but when I look back at the stories we've posted over the last seven days, quite a lot of stuff did happen. It just wasn't the usual games-focused stuff.

The Xbox One vs. PlayStation 4 graphics spec comparison is stark to say the least. Both systems utilise AMD's GCN (Graphics Core Next) architecture, but Sony's rendering tech has 50 per cent more raw computational power than the Xbox One equivalent - and that's factoring out other differences between the systems. The question is, what is the impact in actual gameplay conditions?

Happy Halloween, Eurogamers! And a spooky All Saints' Day to you as well. Behold, if you dare, a trilogy of terrifying videos skimmed from the Outside Xbox video cauldron.

Noire, but rather in the superb openworld environment created by Team Bondi.

Earlier this week, Nintendo confirmed that it was ceasing production of the Wii. You probably don't need reminding of its successes, just as Nintendo likely doesn't need reminding of the shadow it has been operating under with its successor. The Wii U, according to every sales report since its release late last year, has been a disappointment and, if you've an inkling for melodrama, something of a disaster. The common consensus is that Nintendo blew its 12-month head start.

Indie developer the Quantum Astrophysicists Guild's black & white puzzler The Bridge is due out on XBLA on 13th November.
