Rockstar Games continue to push new and exciting content into the online world of Los Santos as today marks the release of the highly anticipated Import/Export update for the critically acclaimed, Grand Theft Auto Online. Players will find brand new options on the Executive Office desktop with the ability to purchase Vehicle Warehouses – a special kind of property that can be used to store, mod and export the new cargo – high-value vehicles.

[testimonials user=” email=” name=’Rockstar Games’ position=” photo=”]Utilize all your tools to make these sourcing operations as smooth as possible including CEO Abilities and CEO Vehicles. Buyers won’t want damaged goods and the cleaner the getaway; the cheaper the repair fees. Use the Turreted Limo or Buzzard for armored protection and employ the tactical use of Bribe Authorities and Ghost Organization to drop unwanted heat. Or dream big – the tactful deployment of a Cargobob makes for quick extractions and deliveries.

A range of buyers are always ready to shell out for your newly acquired inventory. Use the Ad-Hawk Autos network from your Vehicle Warehouse to connect with buyers and deliver the goods. Private buyers are straightforward and will accept vehicles at stock spec but if you want to increase your margins, appeal to Showroom and Specialist Dealers who are seeking modded vehicles and are willing to pay extra for them.

Manage your Exports and carefully evaluate risks; while you can deliver up to four cars at once with your Organization, carefully consider the rival Organizations or Motorcycle Clubs on the prowl and make sure your team is equipped to handle the job.[/testimonials]

Furthermore there’s been a ton of new Special Vehicles and Vehicles added, check out the full list below:

  • BF Ramp Buggy
  • JoBuilt Phantom Edge
  • Karin Technical Aqua
  • Nagasaki Blazer Aqua
  • Brute Armored Boxville
  • MTL Wastelander
  • Imponte Ruiner 2000
  • Coil Rocket Voltic
  • Principe Diablous and Diablous Custom
  • Annis Elegy Retro Custom
  • Pegassi Tempesta
  • Ocelot Penetrator

Additionally, a brand new Adversary Mode has been introduced, Turf Wars, alongside the ability to customize your character’s base appearance – a feature that was not previously available without starting afresh.

Tron Bike Added to GTA Online Finally
A New Deadline mode and the Tron Bike Released today among other bonuses. GTA Online will be relevant forever.

After months of speculation, Rockstar has released the sweetest bike to ever grace GTA Online. The new Tron Bike lights up the night and is available in the new Deadline Adversary Mode for purchase at Legendary Motorsport. Make sure and don’t go looking for a “Tron” bike as obviously Rockstar doesn’t have the rights to Disney content. Instead pickup the “Nagasaki Shotaro” for 2.25 million along with a Deadline Outfit, unlocked at a clothing store.

The new Deadline Adersary Mode pits four players against each other on Shotaro bikes. Just like Tron, any victim unfortunate to run into your light trail becomes instant roadkill. Strategic Power-ups give an edge and boosts help speed up to cut off your opponents. Double GTA $ and RP is awarded to those that play this new mode now through November 21st. Enjoy wrecking in the races and make sure to check out our coverage of GTA Online Here.

The hottest news in gaming this week
We’re just days away from the beginning of the next-generation console launch and Gamers Heroes returns with our hottest gaming news of the week. We’ve found some really hot news this week as Microsoft confirm that the free Xbox One email is legit, Square Enix release a rather questionable business plan for themselves and Eidos and an ex-IGN Editor has a real stab at Call of Duty: Ghosts. Read on for more information.

 

Hottest Gaming News – Week Ending 11/10/2013
Game/Company Headline
Square Enix New PDF Highlighting Business Plan Concerns SE Fans
Microsoft Free Xbox One Email Is Legit
Naughty Dog Boasting Quality Of Next-Gen Game Before Its Reveal
Call of Duty: Ghosts Ex-IGN Editor Attacks Next-Gen
PlayStation 3 Sells 80 Million Units
Call of Duty: Ghosts Makes $1 Billion On Release Day
Soul Calibur: Lost Swords New Screenshots & Beta Details

 

Questionable Future For Square Enix

The latest news from Square Enix
During a recent financial report Square Enix published a new PDF that highlights their plans to restore the fabled developer back to its former glory. To the surprise and disappointment of many, Square Enix and Eidos will focus on MMO online gaming and mobile platforms, arguably two of the most unstable aspects of gaming today. Square Enix haven’t had the best of luck with MMORPG’s in the past but FFIX and FFXIV have proven to be successful. Their also renowned for slapping ridiculously high price tags on their mobile games. What are your thoughts?

Microsoft Confirm Free Xbox One Email Is Legitimate

All the latest happenings from Microsoft And The Xbox One
Earlier this week some Xbox 360 users reported an email that most assumed to be fake. In that email was a claim that the individuals were due to receive an Xbox One, for free. You can’t really blame gamers for expecting this to be fake, after-all Microsoft aren’t overly famous for their generosity. A user then took to Twitter and the official Microsoft customer support helpline but to their surprise, it was confirmed. More information here.

Naughty Dog Hoping To Impress With Next-Gen Title

The Hottest News From Naughty Dog
The developers of the critically acclaimed The Last of Us recently took to Reddit for a developer Q&A but they couldn’t resist the urge to tease their next-generation title. During the Q&A session Uncharted 3’s Lead Multiplayer Designer, Robert Cogburn, said the following:

“If I said anything about what we’re doing right now it wouldn’t be exciting,” he teased. “The PS4 is awesome. It gives us the chance to do a lot of things that we’ve been talking about for some time. You’ll be in awe when you play it.”

I don’t really care if it’s a new IP or a sequel, Naughty Dog have yet to disappoint.

Jeremy Conrad Slams Call of Duty: Ghosts

The latest news for Call Of Duty: Ghosts
A recent Tweet from Ex-IGN Editor, Jeremy Conrad, has sparked controversy among next-generation fans as he claims FPS drops are a reason to avoid purchasing Call of Duty: Ghosts. The game has already caused issues between PlayStation 4 and Xbox One fans after the announcement of the difference in resolution but Conrad claims that both the 720p Xbox One version and 1080p PlayStation 4 version suffer from FPS drops from 60-50. The importance of resolution can be argued until your blue in the fact but FPS is incredibly important in games like COD.

PlayStation 3 Not As Successful As PlayStation 2

The Latest News Surrounding Sony's PlayStation 3
Sony announced this week that the PlayStation 3 has sold an impressive 80 million units, which isn’t quite on par with the 120 million units sold for the PlayStation 2. However, guesstimating at a an average $300 per console purchase, that still puts Sony over $20 billion ahead. The PlayStation 3 has over 4220 games in its arsenal, a figure that overshadows that of its predecessor. For more information on this story check out GameIndustry.

Call of Duty: Ghosts Smashing First Day Sales Records

The latest news for Call Of Duty: Ghosts
Grand Theft Auto V recently took the world by storm after earning $1 billion worth of sales in 3 days for developers Rockstar. However that hype is short lived as Call of Duty: Ghosts has completely smashed GTAV to pieces, earning over $1 billion in a single day. These figures are impressive enough before you consider the fact that at least some gamers will be waiting for next-generation versions available later this month. Love it or hate it, the Call of Duty franchise is going nowhere fast.

New Screenshots Released For Soul Calibur: Lost Swords

[ngg_images gallery_ids=”1″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_pro_horizontal_filmstrip”] Earlier this week Namco Bandai released a host of gorgeous new screenshots for the upcoming fighting game, Soul Calibur: Lost Swords. Also this week the developers revealed a closed beta that will give fans the opportunity to test the game before its upcoming release. The beta event will run for 4 days beginning next Wednesday, November 14th, on the PlayStation 3. In that time players will be able to download the 4GB version, experience combat as Siegfried, Mitsurugi and Sophitia, and enjoy the games item mall free of charge.

Grand Theft Auto V may have attracted critical acclaim from around the globe but its free multiplayer add-on hasn’t quite managed the same levels of success. The game has been plagued with problems since launch, including server issues and loss of characters and progress, and despite fixes from Rockstar the problems persist.

As an apology to players the developers of the award-winning GTA V are offering all fans $500,000 in-game cash. To be eligible you simply have to download an update next week and have played at least once in October. The cash apology will come in the form of two direct transfers of $250,000.

THQ & EA Go Head To Head In The Ring

UFC EA
THQ have filed an official complaint against Zuffa LLC, the parent company of UFC, and Electronic Arts over the changing hands of the official UFC game license. The entire debate surrounds meetings held between THQ and Electronic Arts in December of 2011 in which private information was exchanged including financial projections and marketing ideas.

At the end of the year Zuffa LLC contacted THQ in regards to terminating the license having access to information that would only be available from EA. THQ claims that this is proof that Electronic Arts went directly to Zuffa LLC to purchase the rights to the UFC games, completely cutting THQ out of the deal. For more information click here.

Montague’s Mount Launch Trailer Released


Independent game developer Polypusher Studios this week released the official launch trailer for their debut indie horror title, Montague’s Mount. The developers, hailing from Ireland, have worked closely with publishers Mastertronic, to offer players a unique take on the horror genre. The game is now available for PC, MAC and Linux and will soon be made available on Steam Greenlight.

Polypusher Studios is actually a one-man development team but don’t let that put you off. Miasmata was developed by just two people and that game made serious waves on the indie scene.

Survival Horror SOMA Coming To PlayStation


The next-generation is quickly shaping up to become the return of the survival horror genre as Swedish developers, Frictional Games, confirm the upcoming release of the sci-fi survival horror SOMA on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 platforms.

Following the likes of Outlast, Daylight and Routine, SOMA is the latest effort in an attempt to bring the horror genre back to its roots. If you’re not familiar with Fricitional Games, they’re the developers behind the critically acclaimed Amnesia: Dark Descent.

Insomniac Game’s Studio Epic Xbox One Troll

A recent Tweet from an Insomniac Game’s Studio employee has shed light on the possibilities of epic trolling using the Xbox One Kinect voice commands. As displayed at the original reveal players will be able to turn off this next-generation console with the simple comment “Xbox Off”.

Picture the scene. You’ve got dozens of developers using the dev console with the Xbox One as they’re hard at work in the office. Shortly after a loud announcement comes over the PA “Xbox Off”. The hilarity that’s sure to follow simply couldn’t be ignored. Any trolling ideas for the Xbox One voice commands? Post them below.

    Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag News
    Some of you may have gotten a strange letter this week. An envelope containing a single playing card. The card is the Ace of Spades and Ubisoft hid some cryptic clues on the front of the card. From flight to spit, where her wicked soul rests. This message is in reference to the Queen Anne’s Revenge but also included on the card was a set of numbers; 176.58.109.224. The numbers are actually an IP address that brings up the new Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Ace of Spades website.

    Some talented folk over at the Xboxer360 website also discovered the password to activate the page is the coordinates of the Queen Anne’s Revenge supposed resting place. Whether you got the card or not adding 344144 764120 to the two password fields will give you access, check it out before September 30th as that’s when the event is starting.

    EA Will Give Star Wars: Battlefront Its Best Developers

    Star Wars Battlefront News

    Valve Announced SteamOS

    Valve And Steam News
    Valve, the developers behind the hugely popular digital distribution service Steam, have revealed the first of their upcoming announcements, the SteamOS.

Players will be able to stream games and content directly from their Steam account to any SteamOS supported device, finally giving us the option to truly experience the big screen with Steam.

    The official announcement doesn’t go into great detail regarding devices that will support the SteamOS but there are possibilities that next-generation deals have been made. There’s also a good chance that it could be exclusive to Valve’s upcoming Steam Box.

    Nintendo Celebrating 124 Years

    Nintendo News
    Did you know that Nintendo originally began as a provide of Hanafuda cards, instant rice, love hotels and public transport services? The company was originally established on September 2nd 1889, before finally branching out and becoming the company we know today in the 80s.

    Nintendo are responsible for some of the most iconic characters in gaming including Donkey Kong, Link and the Mario Brothers. Without Nintendo there’s no telling where the gaming industry would have gone so all the staff at Gamers Heroes wish the Big N a very happy birthday.

    Grand Theft Auto Online Will Not Support 32 Players

    Grand Theft Auto Online News
    After the release of Grand Theft Auto V the gaming community took it upon themselves to dive into the files that help create the game. There’s always leftover information and hidden tidbits in a games source files, and it’s 50/50 whether they prove to be true or useful.

    Players discovered references that supported rumors that stated the online multiplayer would support 32 players. Rockstar have since squashed the findings as pure rumor, confirming that the previously announced figure of 16 supported players is in actual fact, final.

    Brits Think Games Cause Violence

    With Grand Theft Auto V still occupying the mind of practically every game, the typical angry responses to the violence, drugs and nudity are in full swing. The latest comes in the form of a survey aimed at UK residents, asking them whether or not they believe gaming can cause violent behavior in players.

    The YouGuv poll returned some surprising results as 61% of British residents claimed that video-games do support violence. A strange figure considering the recent findings of another survey that suggested many parents would let underage children play Grand Theft Auto V.

    Grand Theft Auto Online Could Feature Micro-Transactions

    Grand Theft Auto V News
    A recent article has given credit to rumors that suggest Grand Theft Auto Online could utilize a micro-transaction payment model. As with our previous story the information comes from a leak that could be old information, or could actually be relevant for the official release. The leak suggests that players may be able to purchase cash-cards for real life money, giving them a serious advantage in-game over players that don’t choose to invest.

    Whether or not this will turn out true is yet to be seen but even delivering a 10/10 experience with GTAV won’t calm the rage if it does prove true.

    Update: An article appearing on EuroGamer has revealed that this is in fact true and Grand Theft Auto Online will feature micro-transactions.

    New Concept Images Showcase New Weapons For Destiny

    Destiny News
    Destiny is quickly becoming one of the most anticipated titles of next-generation and it’s not hard to see why when you consider Bungee’s previous achievements. The MMO-esque first-person shooter is all set and ready to wow audiences across the globe come its release with the PlayStation 4.
