Gaming News: More Hints to Fallout 4 Release; Minecraft 13w47c Brings Twitch; Evil Controllers for PS4, Xbox One
Way back in June during the E3 2013, there have been reports that Fallout 4 has been teased to some reporters in a closed doors meeting, as previously reported by Softpedia. Back then, only the hint that the game will be launched in 2015 for next-gen PS4 and Xbox One, the current-gen Xbox 360 and PS3, and the PC.
Also, the developer had been busy with a number of projects, most of which have already seen quite a big progress.
Recently, there have been a number of hints and teasers found by a number of sources involving Fallout 4. Aside from the possible release date being hinted, the mystery site that has been linked to the title has appeared to contain a few more details.
First off, there's the official Bethesda Vault-Tec logo, which pretty much points to a project from the developer. In addition, Trusted Reviews reports that there's a cryptic Morse code in the website.
From what has been already deciphered, the code means "CQ CQ DE OZ SE AS", which supposed translated to the more coherent, "Calling Any Station, Calling Any Station, Calling Any Station, This is from OZ (Oscar Zulu), Please Wait."
This strengthens the hope of Fallout fans, as the message hails back to Fallout 3, and reaffirms the trademark found for Fallout 4 by Bethesda. What do you think of the new teaser? Is it legit or just a reading that's blown out of proportion?

Minecraft gets one-click broadcasting on Twitch
Mojang has released a new snapshot, the Minecraft Snapshot 13w47a, which showcases the one-click broadcasting with partner Twitch. You can already test this feature yourself, though the developer has already warned that there may be a couple of bugs since the new feature has just been introduced.
More Minecraft updates: Transfer saves from Xbox 360 to Xbox One, Skyrim texture pack details, and additional details for Minecraft Pocket Edition.
Some few things you should do beforehand: link a Twitch account to your Mojang account. Then Mojang instructs that you can either begin the broadcast or adjust the quality settings yourself.
For now, the Twitch broadcasting is only available for Windows and Mac. Download the Minecraft snapshot here and check out the new feature for yourself. Mojang is still on the lookout for bugs, which you can report here.
Dress up your PS4 and Xbox One controllers
With the PS4 already taking up space in retail stores and living rooms and the Xbox One about to follow suit, accessories will surely be trickling in. And one of these are the customised controllers for both next-gen consoles from Evil Controllers.
Engadget reports that this is the same as what has been done for the Xbox 360 and PS3. An array of ready-made designed PS4 and Xbox One controllers are already available on the Evil Controllers official website, but the report also states that there will be a controller creator webapp so you can make your own designs.
The Evil Controllers are priced at $85, a jack up of $25 from the standard controllers, but at least it looks the pricier part.
