class=\"my-4\">Assassin\u2019s Creed IV: Black Flag \u2013 29 October (Xbox 360, PS3)<\/h3>\n<p>After all the snazzy tech demoes, many forget that Assassin\u2019s Creed 4 is still coming to current-gen consoles as well, and it\u2019s releasing this week.<\/p>\n<p>Assassin\u2019s Creed IV: Black Flag on PS3 and 360 is the same game as the PS4 and Xbox One versions, albeit with slightly less \u201coomph\u201d in the graphical fidelity.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll still get the massive scope, crazy naval battles, and sneaky throat-stabbings that you can expect from the next AC adventure.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8IWwjdPJpiU\" height=\"339\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Battlefield 4 &#8211; 1 November<\/h3>\n<p>Battlefield 4 will raise the bar of what we expect from an FPS and vehicular action game, bringing DICE\u2019s gorgeous Frostbite 3 engine to the forefront; its exploding onto 360, PS3 and PC this week.<\/p>\n<p>The FPS elements are further ramped up from past iterations, making for more visceral and intense gun battles.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of things on the Battlefield 4 maps that are interactive, including car alarms, birds, and other objects that can give away the location and whereabouts of enemies.<\/p>\n<p>Players can also interact with shipping crates, opening and closing the doors if hiding, or to prevent someone from using it to sneak towards a flag.<\/p>\n<p>These elements add player-enacted dynamic gameplay to the maps, adding another layer to consider when tackling the enemy.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wx3cYpGGmkk\" height=\"339\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\"
