'Mortal Kombat X' DLC characters leak before The Game Awards

Initially planned to premiere at The Game Awards later tonight, Warner Bros Studios accidentally jumped the gun on releasing the official trailer for the new Kombat Pack for Mortal Kombat X. Since the publication of this article, the video has since been made private, but that hasn’t stopped NeoGAF members from posting the trailer on separate accounts and spreading screenshots.     The new characters announced are Leatherface from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series, the Xenomorph from the Alien franchise, Tri-borg (a hybrid character of cyborg characters Cyrax, Sektor and Smoke) and the drunken fist master himself Bo Rai Cho. Nothing else has been leaked other than the characters and a 2016 release date. Source: NeoGAF





PlayStation 4 wins Black Friday

A Black Friday study conducted by InfoScout, a firm that tracks purchases made by a network of 300,000 users over three mobile apps, determined that Sony’s PS4 outperformed Microsoft’s Xbox One among Millennials (ages 18-35) and had a slight increase in the middle-aged audience (ages 36-55). These changes were weighted against purchases made on average days versus those made on Black Friday, which carries enormous amounts of deals, discounts and bundles. Last year, the Xbox One was declared the victor by InfoScout in terms of total percentage of sales on Black Friday. The statistics declared by InfoScout had the PS4 taking seven percent of the market directly from Xbox, boosting its Black Friday sales to 48 percent among Millennials.

First 'Fallout 4' patch to include bug fixes, memory and stability improvements

A beta version of the first patch for Fallout 4 was released, albeit only for players on PC who chose to receive beta updates. Developer Bethesda said last week it was “hard at work addressing top issues,” but for now, the patch will be released on Steam in beta first, followed by PC and lastly by consoles. The patch, titled 1.2.33, will fix issues relating to things such as jumping into water, equipping weapons, and reloading saved games.
