General Gaming News Wrap-up III


Recommended Posts

Hey guys and girls, Drizzy_Dan here filling in for Lil Dog on the General Gaming News Wrap-up. Really hoping this doesn't become a permanent thing Lil Dog... Haha so for those of you who don't ever go to our beautiful front-cover News Hub, I'm just going to give it to you:

 

Destiny News

 

Oakley Hi-Def of The Halo Forge Epidemic has made a video about his ideas for what we've seen so far in Destiny, Bungie's upcoming title. It was based off of adamj004's hypothesis called The Seven Heavens. It's very hard to explain myself but the video does it perfectly. It's a must watch.

 

 

 

New concept art from Destiny has arisen. Adamj004 was all over it to share with all of us and I'll provide the link for you. It is quite the spectacle.

Finally, VentureBeat and TechHive were lucky enough to each snag interviews with Pete Parsons of Bungie on the concept of Destiny. Pete Parsons is a funny guy and gives such answers along with some ambiguous and reavealing ones as well. FIND THE INTERVIEW HERE.


 

Batman Arkham Series

 

If you've played Batman: Arkham City then you know that there were many things pointing to a third game. Rocksteady, the previous developer of the Arkham games will not be developing this one. Both of the Batman Arkham games are undoubtedly the best comic book based video games today.

Minecraft

 

Minecraft also has some news of its own. The company behind Minecraft, Mojang, said that Minecraft most likely come to the Playstation 3. Along with that, Minecraft's newest update has brought us the skins of the latest characters of the Borderlands series for your builders. Or whatever you call them.

Halo 4

 

Halo 4 is coming out with quite the matchmaking update this upcoming Monday. The playlist update will include the Action Sack playlist. Now Action Sack was alright in the other Halo games but it has never been so creative and fun yet competitive as it will be this Monday. Coming to the Action Sack playlist are 3 new gametypes and 1 that everone has played and enjoyed at least 10 times in their lives.

 

Binary Slayer - A snipers gametype where all players are holding the Binary Rifle from the start making everything a one-shot kill. They also start with Thruster Packs and player movement speed is a little quicker.

 

Lightning CTF - Fast paced Capture The Flag where everyone starts with the Light Rifle, every shot is a kill no matter where it hits on the body, and there are no radars. You can even hold the Light Rifle while you're holding the flag. This one I'm a little skeptical about because of 5 second respawn times but it does sound like it could have its fun moments.

 

Rockets and Rails - All you need to know is that there will be Rocket Launchers. There will be Rail Guns as your secondary. And there will be Jetpacks.

 

Team Fiesta - If you haven't played Team Fiesta or just the Fiesta gametype in general then you're missing out on Halo life. In Team Fiesta everyone starts out with a random primary and secondary weapon. All out fun you never know what you'll get. You could be screwed with two Plasma Pistols or you could rule with a sniper of any sort and a cannon of any sort.

 

343 did say in their update that these will not be the only gametypes we see in the Action Sack playlist. Get excited.
