Who knows, maybe Rockstar will add zombie DLC to GTA Online—but modders aren't waiting around for it to drop. Instead, they're going ahead and just adding zombies into the game themselves.

News::Epic Games UK set up to work on Unreal Engine 4
Most of us won't recognize Pitbull Studio by name, but the company has worked with Epic Games in the past on Gears of War: Judgment and, most notably, Unreal Engine 4. Now, the two are further extending their partnership as Pitbull becomes Epic Games UK.
"Pitbull has been essential in helping us develop the best tools and technology for building the next generation of games," said Epic founder and CEO Tim Sweeney in a statement. They've been invested in UE4's evolution since its early beginnings, and their dedication is unflinching."
Now that it's been acquired, the studio will become a "fully integrated team driving Unreal Engine 4 development in the region," according to this morning's announcement. And that means expansion of the existing team. If you're looking for work in Guildford, Epic is hiring.

News::Why are Gamers So Afraid of Change?
Hardcore Gamer: Developers walk a thin line when changing any aspect of a game for its sequel. It's anybody's guess whether they will be praised for innovation or taken out to the stockades for crimes against a beloved franchise. More often than not, any change to a franchise in a sequel is met with instant criticism, but one has to wonder: what's the real virtue of a game being similar to its predecessor?

News::The Expendabros is an Adrenalin Pump of a Game
Indie game developer Free Lives took the hard hitting cast of The Expendables 3 and the action packed game Broforce and smashed them together at Mach speed, which resulted in the creation of the muscle flaring adrenalin rush that is The Expendabros. If the thought of that has you sweating uncontrollably, then the fact that its available as a free download until December 31, 2014 on Steam should get you snarling in a testosterone induced fit.

News::Live streaming site Justin.tv is no more
After seven years, Justin.tv has been shut down.
The live video site, mobile apps, and APIs are no longer in service as Twitch Interactive Inc.'s focus shifts entirely to its gaming-focused site, Twitch. Getting ready for that acquisition by Google.
Justin.tv users can no longer retrieve their video archives from the site and are being asked to transfer their accounts to Twitch, while broadcasters who don't plan plan to stream gaming-related content are being told to explore other options, like YouTube and Ustream. End of an era.
I remember visiting Justin.tv when it had just become an open network and not understanding the appeal of live broadcasts, and the same thing happened when Twitch first launched. Just gaming? Really? But it worked. Twitch sure has come a long way in such a short span of time.

News::Shoot: 2K pushes Evolve to February 2015
As part of its financial results, Take-Two Interactive announced that Turtle Rock Studios' cool-looking shooter Evolve has been pushed from an October release to February 10, 2015.
On the one hand, there are so many games set for October that I'm relieved there's now one less to worry about. On the other hand, damn -- I really wanted to play Evolve this year!
2K will still have Grand Theft Auto V for PC, PS4, and Xbox One in the fall. That's something.
