Gaming News: GTA 5 Strategy Guide on iPad; World of Warcraft not F2P; New Moves in Ultra Street Fighter 4
GTA 5 has been out for more than a month, yet it seems that a lot of gamers are still looking for tips and quick guides to survive daily living (or playing) in the latest world created by Rockstar Games.
For $4.99, you can access an interactive map that reveals collectibles and notes Stunt Jumps and Aerial Challenges. Cinema Blend reports that the app will also walk you through the missions in the game and gives tips for activities scattered all throughout.
According to the report, the GTA 5 Strategy Guide takes inspiration from the GTA V Signature Series Guide. Obviously, this would have been a much useful and more sought after guide if it launched weeks before, when people were still struggling for tips and guides to get through some stages.
But it also won't come as a surprise if there are still a number of players who would need it to complete some levels or get 100% completion. There are also a number of DLC add-on content waiting to be rolled out, and given that this new GTA 5 guide is officially from Rockstar Games, the developers can easily roll out updates to help clear the next couple of add-ons.

World of Warcraft not following free-to-play model
World of Warcraft has not yet lost its touch for players, and it seems that this fact is allowing Blizzard to stick to the formula that the game has known since then.
Forbes recently covered the Blizzcon event, where the numbers of gamers were perused for most of Activision's games and found that the loss of subscribers barely scratched the surface of WoW's 7.6 million players.
Because of this, notions and speculations of the game shifting its business model to a supposed more modern and more used one had been quashed.
"In the case of World of Warcraft, the first 20 levels are free. It wasn't designed as a free-to-play game," said Mike Morhaime, CEO of Blizzard. "I don't see that type of transition happening in World of Warcraft, although we are always looking for new ways to make the game more accessible."
This doesn't mean that WoW is not trying to tap other mediums that would keep it on a more competitive scale. GameSpot adds that Blizzard has already tried a number of these new trends, the most recent of which is the mobile platform. However, even this does not seem to match the spirit with which WoW has been known for.
Expect more moves in Ultra Street Fighter 4
There's a lot to expect in the upcoming add-on for Super Street Fighter, both in the playables department and the moves that you can make.
Polygon has found a new report from Capcom Unity's exclusive blog with Tomoaki Ayano, the game's producer, wherein a new additional downloadable content has been detailed.
Though the four new characters joining the roster have already been revealed, the official blog of the game developer has revealed that new moves can be expected of the new characters.
You have Rolento's air and ground game capabilities, as well as a Stinger move that is pretty hard to read for opponents. There's also Hugo, who executes the large palms clap that puts pressure on the enemy and drives them into a corner.
Poison also gets a new move, Aeolus Edge, where you can execute a number of different moves depending on the strength of the button that you used in control. Lastly, there is Elena, who has the Rhino Horn move that's a blast from the Street Fighter 3 past.
