News: Destiny gets 'official trailer' news

Featuring a couple of recognisable names - Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad) stars and Jon Favreau directs - it doesn't give too much away about the game, other than the fact there will be shooting, vehicular combat and badass gas marks. If you can't be bothered to watch the 60-second video, think Halo meets Star Wars meets Mass Effect and you won't go too far wrong.

Destiny, due to be released on nearly every console under the sun (Xbox 360, PS3, PS4 and Xbox One), is still yet to have an official release date.

News: Xbox One and PS4 to be cheaper than their predecessors claims GameStop news

During the firm's post-earnings financial call, GameStop chief financial officer Rob Lloyd stated that he thinks the new consoles will have a "lower opening price point than they did last cycle."

In the US market the Xbox 360 launched with two skus ($300/$400) and the PlayStation 3 was available at $500 or $600.

UK gamers will be hoping the cheaper launch prices apply here too, where the Xbox 360 Premium retailed for £279 and the PlayStation 3 40GB £425.

'Rivalry'?

Could this year's NFS be linked to PSP racer Need For Speed: Underground Rivals? Given EA's decision to revise various Need For Speed sub-series in recent years, we wouldn't be too surprised.

Need For Speed 2013 is expected to be a cross-gen title in development at Ghost Games using Frostbite 3. Criterion is also expected to be assisting in development.
