<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Hello everyone and welcome to this week's issue of the Weekly News Wrap-Up! I'm your host Edward Kenway and tonight we have some awesome games for you! Let's check them out!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.343industries.org/forum/index.php?app=core&amp;module=attach&amp;section=attach&amp;attach_rel_module=post&amp;attach_id=8610" rel="external nofollow">View attachment: WNW 62114.JPG</a></p>

<p><span style="color:#ffd700;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Halo: Broken Circle Announced</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Halo's novel have given the community a deeper and more meaningful insight into the events that occur in the main story. One of the most infamous of these, the splitting of the Covenant by the end of Halo 2, is getting a novel adaptation according to </span><a href="https://blogs.halowaypoint.com/en-us/blogs/headlines/posts/halo-broken-circle-coming-in-november" rel="external nofollow"><span style="color:#00ffff;">HaloWaypoint.com</span></a><span style="color:#00ffff;"> called Halo: Broken Circle. It will be written by John Shirley and release November 4th, 2014. The story will center around an Elite Splinter Group fighting back, as well as the story of an honest and true Prophet stuck in a dangerous situation. The cover shows three Elite ships (notice the green lighting and powering, not blue like normal Covenant ships) and what looks like a destroyed shield world of sorts. Since the Arbiter has been announced to hold a place in terminals, this could be a sort of side-story concurrent to the main one.</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#ffd700;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Titanfall Available for Free for 48 Hours on PC</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Titanfall, Respawn's hit multiplayer title exclusive to Microsoft platforms, is going to be available for free for 48 hours on the PC only. This deal comes to us from Origin as one of their new goodwill projects, </span><a href="https://www.origin.com/en-us/news/play-titanfall-free-game-time" rel="external nofollow"><span style="color:#00ffff;">Origin.com</span></a><span style="color:#00ffff;"> says. The project is called 'Game Time' and while no information has been released on what products will be available next, we can likely expect larger titles like Battlefield 4 or Mirror's Edge to hold a place in it. If you decide to purchase Titanfall after your trial is up, your progress in-game will be saved so long as you're on your account. EA has stated that this is just beginning today, so it isn't available in every country yet, but will be soon. The time starts when you begin playing and ends after 48 hours, meaning that as soon as you activate the game, the clock ticks down, even when you yourself aren't playing.</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Are you going to be picking up Titanfall with this deal if you haven't already? Debate below!</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#ffd700;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Destiny's Exclusive Content Only Lasts until Fall 2015</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Destiny has a hefty load of fresh content coming to PS4 on day one like the Monte Carlo assault rifle, Hawkmoon handgun, new ships and armor, and an exclusive Strike and Competitive map. According to </span><a href="http://www.polygon.com/2014/6/20/5827284/destinys-special-playstation-content-may-be-exclusive-until-fall-2015" rel="external nofollow"><span style="color:#00ffff;">Polygon.com</span></a><span style="color:#00ffff;">, an Amazon listing (now edited) showed off in it's detailings for the PS4 version the content and stated that it would only be available until Fall 2015. It seems odd that it would be such a short period of time considering how heavily all this content is being pushed on the PlayStation 4. If this amazon listing is to be trusted, Xbox owners can expect to get their hands on the exclusive content (likely) between September and November 2015. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.343industries.org/forum/index.php?app=core&amp;module=attach&amp;section=attach&amp;attach_rel_module=post&amp;attach_id=8607" rel="external nofollow">View attachment: E3_warlock_desktop.jpg</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Are you irritated that the exclusive content is only available on PS4 for a limited time, or are you yourself a PS4 owner and happy with the decision? Discuss below, thanks for reading!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Thanks for reading my friends, I will see you all next Friday (I'm busy saturday) on the next Weekly News Wrap-Up! Take care Guardians.</span></p>

<p></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="color:#00ffff;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Hello everyone! Just recently as you all know there has been a slough of Halo comic books out and around the universe. But some of these comics have been also the "72 Hours After" Halo 4 portion. This tells what has happened directly after the events of Halo 4, A.k.a a three day span. </span></strong></span></span></p></div>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="color:#00ffff;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Just recently, there was another part to come out, part 3. And with that, someone on tumblr had actually posted a picture from the next comic in that specific storyline. </span></strong></span></span></p></div>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="color:#00ffff;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">NOTE: Self Destruct beat me to it! The photo IS REAL! </span></strong></span></span></p></div>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="color:#00ffff;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">So, here is the picture that has gotten the community to get their 'jimmies' and find popcorn. Even the HaloFollower gave his speculations on this.</span></strong></span></span></p></div>

<p></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="color:#00ffff;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Now, most people are speculating this is (From front right to back left) John-117, Kelly-087, Linda-058, and Fred-104. </span></strong></span></span></p></div>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="color:#00ffff;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">This is speculated as the armor they wear has a big resemblance to the armor they had in Halo: Legends - The Package. And also because Fred, Kelly, and Linda all were not confirmed KIA, or in the case MIA. Since Spartans never die. </span></strong></span></span></p></div>

<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Video game giant, Capcom, is now open to a total buyout via stocks, thanks to a reversal in an older decision to not allow any shareholder to have complete control over the company.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Capcom is well known for it's games, from Resident Evil to Megaman, the company has no doubt created legends in the gaming industry, but you might be forced to buy a specific platform or from a specific company soon to pick up a Capcom product. According to </span><a href="http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/06/17/capcom-now-open-to-buyout" rel="external nofollow"><span style="color:#00ffff;">IGN.com</span></a><span style="color:#00ffff;">, the company made clear today that they are opening the option to stockholders with massive shares in the company. A business enactment made in 2008 from Capcom would've made this nearly impossible, but after it was announced they had around 200 million in their bank, they opened this up as a sort of final effort. Of course the company will overview with it's board of directors before making a final call as to if someone with a large enough hold on the company shares may take control. This could be an easy game buy for major companies like Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo in need of exclusives to sell their consoles. Even larger publishers like EA and Activision could make stellar profits from this with very little investment.</span></p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">What do you think of the massive possibility that this legendary company will be under the reigns of someone else as a likely exclusive? Let me know in the comments below, thanks for reading!</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">Last week's community poll asked member's if they were more excited for the remastered edition of Halo 2 on Xbox One or for the release of Halo 5's beta. Here are the results of that poll:</span></span></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="color:#add8e6;">As much as a peek at the latest installment's progress in gameplay and graphics would be nice, I can wait for it, but playing the classic multiplayer... That is way more important to me than Halo 5, to be honest. The campaigns were flawless, matchmaking was an art, and the experience in the games was pure ecstasy, I would not wish to put anything in front of it. We will have enough time for Halo 5 in the future, don't rush it, please, use the new bundle as a buffer so more time can be put in Halo 5's development, I think it needs all the work it can get to be as amazing as the series' pinnacle in Halo 2 and 3. </span></p></div>

<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">The newly hyped title from the hit underground game franchise LittleBigPlanet, announced at E3, has been confirmed for PS3 along with PS4!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">LittleBigPlanet3, shown off at Sony's E3 2014 Conference, looks to be incredibly next generation with colourful graphics, a gorgeous visual style, and overall fun mechanics, but it seems this supposed 'Next Gen' title might not be so exclusive to the PlayStation 4. According to a developer on the game, Steven Isbell, on his </span><a href="https://twitter.com/StevenIsbell/status/476405948609998848" rel="external nofollow"><span style="color:#00ffff;">Twitter.com</span></a><span style="color:#00ffff;"> account, LittleBigPlanet3 will be making it's way to PS3, with </span><span style="color:#ffd700;">"more news on that later." </span><span style="color:#00ffff;">A counter to this however is that no Pre-Order page has been put up for a PlayStation 3 version, only a PS4 version. But this does make sense with the inter-connectivity to the other two games and how they mentioned maps do carry over, and it would make the transition more seamless for sure. However the real question here is whether this is a step backwards for the game as a whole, as the PS3 could limit the game from being truly a 'Next Gen' game. While LittleBigPlanet has always had a beautiful visual style, certain issues did pop up on the PS3 in regards to connection and the overall gameplay experience, on the PlayStation 4, these issues could be avoided. They have said that graphics were going to be updated, and had no word on these other issues, further progressing the fear.</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Hello dedicated readers, welcome to the Weekly News Wrap-Up, the eighth edition, wow I'm really milking this cash cow! Speaking of cash cows, we have quite a few of those in today- What? I'm being told we can't call these games 'cash cows'... Uh-huh... Apparently I'm fired. Welp, there goes my income for my three kids... Enjoy the Wrap-Up!</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#ffd700;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Diablo III Confirmed for 900p on Xbox One; 1080p on PlayStation 4</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Diablo III: The Ultimate Evil has become a widely pre-ordered hit making it's way to Current Generation consoles, and naturally the question buyers are asking is what the resolution of the game is? According to</span> <a href="http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/06/13/diablo-3-runs-at-900p-on-xbox-one" rel="external nofollow">IGN.com</a><span style="color:#00ffff;">, the game will run at a confirmed 900p on the Xbox One, and 1080p on the PS4, both at a 60 frames per second lock. This news came from the Senior Producer's own mouth, Julia Humphreys, who only said, </span><span style="color:#ffd700;">"We're prioritizing frame rate."</span><span style="color:#00ffff;"> This is surprising considering it wasn't mentioned at E3, which is strange as most developers would bring it up. Of course this is likely due to the apparent partnership with PS4 as the Ultimate Evil Edition only appeared at the Sony conference, and has PlayStation exclusive content. Phil Spencer also responded over Twitter, making it apparent that the resolution wasn't his choice and he never spoke to Blizzard personally on the matter.</span></p>

<p> </p>

<p><span style="color:#ffd700;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Grand Theft Auto V Announced for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 4</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">The Current Generation version of Grand Theft Auto V had a huge amount of rumors and speculation around it, so it was a given that this confirmation would happen, likely at E3. </span><a href="http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/video-games/conferences/e32014/11623-Grand-Theft-Auto-V-Coming-to-PS4-Xbox-One-PC-This-Fall" rel="external nofollow"><span style="color:#00ffff;">EscapistMagazine.com</span></a><span style="color:#00ffff;"> reports that the game, which was revealed at E3, will becoming at an unannounced date this fall for Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4. It will include visual upgrades, added content, and a bonus video editor for PC users. The game is available for pre-order already, and is likely partnered with PlayStation in some way, as it was revealed at their conference and shows PS4 footage.</span></p>

<span style="color:#00ffff;"> account, the set of interviews and concept images can be seen in a short video talking about the move in a new direction. The game is shown to have Krogan-esque figures, and enter a new region of the galaxy currently unexplored. The main character also has beefy armor, looking quite a bit like that of a Cerberus trooper, and follows a galaxy map of sorts, like usual. The N7 logo is also shown off multiple times, as well as vast open terrains mimicing that of the old expansive lands to drive the Mako around, a much missed vehicle. This teaser basically sums up that the game is in development and it won't be long before we see more of it.</span><p> </p>

<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">The updated Alienware Alpha, a spin-off of the original concept including a Steam Controller and SteamOS, is coming this year bundled with Windows and an Xbox 360 controller!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Earlier last year, Alienware showed off their model of a Steam Machine, giving some details on the specifications and what it could do with SteamOS in it, as well as the Steam controller. When Valve however delayed the Steam Machine to 2015, Alienware began production on a spin-off version, without SteamOS and the controller, and according to </span><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2014/06/12/alienware-to-launch-steamos-less-steam-box-this-year/?ncid=rss_truncated" rel="external nofollow">Polygon.com</a><span style="color:#00ffff;">, that version is the Alienware Alpha. The Alpha will contain an Xbox 360 controller bundled, and Windows 8.1 interface. Alienware has said that when the SteamOS and Controller launch, they will be fully compatible with the Alpha, and that SteamOS is fully ready to be installed on Day One on the platform, but we'll have to wait until 2015 to get it. It will launch this holiday for $550 and the SteamOS and Controller will become available at an unannounced date in 2015. It will run any current game on 1080p and 60fps. </span></p>

<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">In an interview on Ubisoft's site with Unity's Lead Game Designer, Alex Pedneault, it was revealed the combat system in-game has been done over with an entirely new design, and the basic Block has been removed, meaning players can no longer simply press a button at the right time to block.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Assassin's Creed: Unity's stellar debut at Xbox's E3 2014 Conference amazed many, fans and passersby alike, with an seemingly improved system, especially combat-wise. On </span><a href="http://assassinscreed.ubi.com/en-US/news/news_detail.aspx?c=tcm:152-147115-16&amp;ct=tcm:148-76770-32&amp;utm_campaign=dm_9Jun2014_acu_combatdevblog&amp;utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=facebook&amp;utm_content=other&amp;utm_term=" rel="external nofollow"><span style="color:#00ffff;">Ubi.com</span></a><span style="color:#00ffff;">, an interview was conducted with the man above, where he talked about the revamp in the fighting system in Unity. With a new engine, changes could be made, and one of the biggest is the removal of the basic Block. He said, </span><span style="color:#ffd700;">“We still have counter moves like the parry, perfect parry and dodge but it is much harder to kill NPCs right away . . . Instead of simply pressing “B”, you now have to work for the kill."</span> <span style="color:#00ffff;">He also put emphasis on the idea of combat not being impossible, and that a small group of enemies shouldn't be too hard, but as they kept piling on, the player would have to develop new tactics and possibly evade the group. The spotlight then shifted to the new addition to Arno's arsenal, the Phantom Blade, acting as a hidden blade crossed with a Bow and Arrow system, which could prove useful for stealth, or for easy potshots. </span></p>

<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Sony's E3 Press Conference has revealed that there will be a bundle with a copy of Destiny on PS4 and a white console, controller, and 30 day PS+ Subscription card.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Sony's Electronic Entertainment Expo this year kicked off with a large bang as Destiny content was shown straight out the gate, starting off with the announcement of the Beta date, the 17th of July, and of course early access for PlayStation users. What really kicked it off though was the reveal of a white PlayStation 4 bundled with a copy of Destiny, which can now be viewed on PlayStation's

<span style="color:#00ffff;"> account. The bundle will accompany, as said above, a white console and DualShock 4 controller, the game itself, and a month's worth of PlayStation Plus. As was also revealed at Sony's E3, Destiny will have a ton of exclusive armor sets, missions, and other bonus content for the PlayStation version of the game. The bundle will ship on the same day as the main game, and the bonus content will be available day one, however it is unknown whether it is timed content, or if Xbox owners may never get the content.</span><p> </p>

<p><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><strong>With E3 Microsoft press conference over it is now time to Recap all the things!</strong></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><img alt="e3events.jpg" src="https://www.343industries.org/forum/uploads/imageproxy/e3events.jpg.f498314e2de4809c1ff8600b01fd3a5d.jpg"></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><strong>We start off with Call of Duty: Advanced Warefare</strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>
</p>
<div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="480" height="270" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" data-embed-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/paOP8gok1GM?feature=oembed"></iframe></div></div>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Call of Duty was first to appear at E3 showing an impressive trailer.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Showing a set of playable segments showing the following:</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">-Jet packs</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">-Mechs</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">-Matrix style drone swarms</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">-Customisable grenades (EMP, Pulse and Seeking)</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">-A laser type riot shield</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">At least... That's all I noted.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">The graphics looked amazing but I hope the enemy isn't really that easy to fight.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Next up we can already see someone die. Massive spoiler?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Also we see how out main character loses his arm in a pretty nicely done cutscene in my opinion.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><strong>Forza 5 and Horizon 2</strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63JNz7UZYwU" rel="external nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63JNz7UZYwU</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">With the recent announcements of both games we now get to see what they were talking about.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Forza 5 is getting a free DLC which features the Nürenburger track which is an actual existing racing track and put into the game with 100% accuracy.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Then (rather quickly) we move on to Horizon 2.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Horizon 2 is built off the Forza 5 engine. Which will give us 1080p grahics.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">They've also implemented a huge amount of sweet looking cars that we will be able to race around in an open world.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Want to play with your friends or online? Almost no waiting time due to dedicated servers which will hook you up in not time at all.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Next to all that you can create your own club (clan) which can feature up to 1000 members!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">The game is set to release at September 30th.</span></p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Evolve is a class based game in which you have to take down large monsters, with guns and everything of course.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Next to 4 player co-op mayhem one will also be able to play as the actual monster to ruin the day of your friends. Expect a lot of IRL hitting!</span></p>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">A new Assassins Creed title is already coming up! Set during the french revolution.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">What makes this one different is the fact that you can play the game in a 4-player co-op.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">We were shown just that on stage. 4 players sneaking around and taking down hostiles together to eventually assassinate the target by throwing him out of a window towards a crowd of blood thirsty people which proceeds to kill him in quite a gruesome manner.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">One thing I noticed was that the parkour looked a lot better. Smoother and quicker.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Then again when the guy walked though a crowd I saw some bumps and it looked iffy. But still plenty of time to fix that right?</span></p>

<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Sunset Overdrive gave us a very fun trailer.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">The game will be set in Sunset city, which is now overrun by mutated humans. The mutation was caused by an energy drink that the mutants still crave next to your skin. Also breaking the fourth wall was quite prominent.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">The style of the game is very cartoony with 'boom' and 'splat' appearing in blood or explosions. It also features a lot of parkour and jumping around while shooting the absolute -Yoink!- out of everything in your path, mutants and hostile humans alike.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">I enjoyed the trailer very much </span><img alt=":D" src="https://www.343industries.org/forum/uploads/emoticons/default_biggrin.png"></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Sunset Overdrive will feature a 8 player co-op mode on dedicated servers in which you'll cause absolute chaos!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">The release date is set on the 28th of October.</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Capcom decided to give us a DLC for Dead Rising 3 with a title so long that I wasn't able to put it down on paper...</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Featuring all of the Capcom Characters in a arcade game. You can even play as tofu! What more do you want to hear from me?! TOFU!!!</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Fable Legends will send us back to the world of Albion and we'll get to see some old friends and corny jokes.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">The game will feature 4-player co-op and each player can invoke a different role which each different skills. There can also be a villain player that can ruin your day by placing traps and monsters around every corner. Griefers eat your heart out!</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">But lets not forget everything leading up to Halo 5. That's why 343i is releasing the Master Chief collection. One disc that features all the previous Halo games with all the content unlocked and more.</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Halo 3 Which features all DLC content. Maybe even Flaming helmet?</span></p>

<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">All this can be accesed from just one single disc seamlessly and will release the 11th of November</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><strong>Inside</strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTK1QtmHACg" rel="external nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTK1QtmHACg</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">A trailer for Inside was shown. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">The game is set in a world in which everyone is controlled by automatons. You play as a boy who is still free.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">The game is similair to Limbo as it is created by the same developers.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><strong>A whole load of games coming to the Xbox One is show... Too much to all write down... Sorry!</strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><strong>Tomb Raider</strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kLAyzmWnk4" rel="external nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kLAyzmWnk4</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">A trailer for Tomb raider is shown.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Of course you still play as Lara Croft.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Not very much is shown next to that.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><strong>The Witcher 3</strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVlE8BXEbpE" rel="external nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVlE8BXEbpE</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">The developers of The Witcher 3 show us a bit of gameplay 10 hours into the game.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">They hunt down a monster in a very very large world. Because of this open world it is very likely that you side track slightly. By bandits for example.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">The game will also feature interactive dialogue.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><strong>Killer instinct</strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnhEeZY75C0" rel="external nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnhEeZY75C0</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">This game made a brief appearance in the pre-show. Not much else was done during the conference.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><strong>Phantom Dust</strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">A trailer for Phantom Dust is shown.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">This will be a fighter game.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><strong>The Division</strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWJD8DMasCU" rel="external nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWJD8DMasCU</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Although this game has been delayed the developers showed a bit of gameplay. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Starting off below ground they show us a holographic map which shows where you are between the buildings and streets around you and a holographic image of thing that happened in the past.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Upon contact with enemies you AI friends will actually have a lot of actual dialogue. Reacting directly to things happening around you.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Also I liked the style very much!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Scalebound</span></span></span></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Scalebound showed us a trailer with a lot of monsters fighting  and of course the character you play as gets involved to. Fighting with a headphone on blasting some fitting music.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Not much else is shown.</span></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><strong>Crackdown</strong></span></span></span></p>

<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqWvvmgFDt4" rel="external nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqWvvmgFDt4</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Crackdown makes a return!</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Featuring better graphics, but keeping the old style.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Play with a friend in a open world on dedicated servers. The trailer also showed a lot of destruction, will we be able to destroy buildings in this world?</span></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">This conculdes everything shown at the conference. I will try to add the trailers and gameplay video as they appear to fill up the games that didn't have that much info.</span></span></span></em></strong></p>

<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Hello everyone and welcome to the latest issue of the Weekly News Wrap-Up! Before we begin I'd like to send my own dedication to War Veterans everywhere who served on D-Day 70 years ago yesterday, as well as anywhere at any time. Putting your life on the line for your home must be a very difficult thing to do, and I salute you for sprinting into the raging fire with the knowledge you may not come out. I'd also like to send my regards to the Kennedy family, on the anniversary of RFK's death yesterday, and his assassination the day before. But enough with depressing news in the real world, let's start off with some depressing news in the fictional world!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.343industries.org/forum/index.php?app=core&amp;module=attach&amp;section=attach&amp;attach_rel_module=post&amp;attach_id=8467" rel="external nofollow">View attachment: WNW 60714.JPG</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffd700;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Martin O'Donnell Sues Bungie for Unpaid Wages</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">In a shocking display, Bungie's ex-composer Martin O'Donnell is suing his former company and especially it's chief executive Harold Ryan, on account of unpaid debts on Bungie's part owed to Martin. If we all remember his firing accordingly, on April 11th we received a tweet on Marty's account saying he had been fired without cause, and </span><a href="http://venturebeat.com/2014/06/06/former-halo-music-composer-sues-bungie-for-failing-to-pay-for-unpaid-benefits/" rel="external nofollow">VentureBeat.com</a> <span style="color:#00ffff;">was the first to spot his gross attack at Bungie. This does not seem to be a major assault at all employees however, as the attack was aimed at Harold Ryan, mentioned before. The file specifically said,</span> <span style="color:#ffd700;">"Ryan has willfully and intentionally caused Bungie to deprive O’Donnell of accrued but unused vacation time, paid time off, sabbatical time, and other benefits." </span><span style="color:#00ffff;">The case is ongoing, and Bungie has no plans of giving in to the lawsuits apparently. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.343industries.org/forum/index.php?app=core&amp;module=attach&amp;section=attach&amp;attach_rel_module=post&amp;attach_id=8466" rel="external nofollow">View attachment: Marty-o-Donnell.jpg</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Do you side with Bungie, or do you side with Martin in this ongoing battle likely soon to escalate to a war? Debate below!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffd700;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Forza Horizon 2 Gets Pre-E3 Teaser</span></span></p>

<span style="color:#00ffff;"> channel showed off the first real-live glimpses of footage from Horizon recently, in a small teaser. The teaser shows of the European country-side and some decals on a yellow Lamborghini Huracan. Aside from that, we get a logo, and another tease to tune in at Microsoft's E3 presentation. It will in-fact be available on the Xbox One and Xbox 360, with two different developers doing the two different versions akin to Titanfall.</span><p> </p>

Another Halo 2 Anniversary Hint?</title><link>https://www.343industries.org/forum/news/other-articles/pc-drivers-for-xbox-one-controller-released-another-halo-2-anniversary-hint-r993/</link><description><![CDATA[
<p><strong>Microsoft has released PC drivers for the Xbox One controller today, the announcement came from Xbox Live's Major Nelson. </strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><img alt="gallery_12241_647_57129.jpeg" src="http://343industries.org/forum/fileshare/gallery/album_647/gallery_12241_647_57129.jpeg"></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gamers can now use their Xbox One controller to play games and use apps on their PC by downloading the required drivers(available on Major Nelson's site). Major Nelson also stated that they are planning to release the drivers in a Windows update in the near future but gamers can get early access to it today. A micro USB cable will be required as it does not support a wireless connection at the moment. Games that currently support the Xbox 360 controller will be compatible with the Xbox One controller.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now on to the conspiracy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the announcement of the Xbox One controller PC drivers on Major Nelson's site there is a picture that shows the Xbox One controller that is connected to a Surface Pro to demonstrate the new functionality of the feature and it has the Halo 2's main title screen on it. See below.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img alt="gallery_12241_647_44385.jpg" src="http://343industries.org/forum/fileshare/gallery/album_647/gallery_12241_647_44385.jpg"></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now this could be solely for demonstration purposes to show of the new feature but with the cavalcade of rumors and "hints" over the past number of months many might take this as another nudge towards Halo 2 anniversary being in the works. So Is it?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It does seem suspicious that they are using Halo 2 in that image and not an image of one of their recent products such as Halo: Spartan Assault considering it is the latest Halo game out right now and the fact that it is available to play on PC and Windows devices. Is this another nod towards a Halo 2 anniversary or is it just an innocent act? Anyway I'll leave it for you to decide, leave your thoughts on this news below.</p>

<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Xbox One's best-seller title Dead Rising 3, published and developed by Capcom, seems to be coming to Valve's PC service Steam according to a brief mistake on the Steam Database.</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Microsoft might finally be fulfilling Phil Spencer's goal of branching out to Windows platforms more, and to top with one of the Xbox One's most acclaimed launch titles. According to a Steam Database leak spotted by a</span> <a href="http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=830851" rel="external nofollow">Neogaf.com</a> <span style="color:#00ffff;">user, Dead Rising 3 will be arriving on Steam. This should basically confirm the title's jump to Steam, but we're left to wonder whether the timed exclusivity deal ended and Dead Rising 3 will also be ported to the PlayStation 4 or if it's staying as a Microsoft exclusive in the way Titanfall did. This could definitely boost the insane amount of copies already sold at 1.2 Million according to a results sheet dating back to March. Dead Rising isn't particularly known for being a Microsoft exclusive either way, as Dead Rising 2 was available on PS3 as well as the Xbox 360.</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Hello everyone and welcome to the the May 31st edition of the Weekly News Wrap-Up! I apologize for this being a few minutes late today, but I finally got my hands on Watch_Dogs for a few hours, and was getting very immersed into the game, and I just got to my PC again a little while ago! Don't fret, for the Wrap-Up is still packed with awesome content all in one place for your reading pleasure! So sit back, relax, and enjoy!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.343industries.org/forum/index.php?app=core&amp;module=attach&amp;section=attach&amp;attach_rel_module=post&amp;attach_id=8431" rel="external nofollow">View attachment: WNW 53114.JPG</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffd700;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Order: 1886 Delayed to Early 2015</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">One of Sony's largest exclusives of 2014 was The Order: 1886, following a steampunk styled Industrial Revolution during the Victorian Era, and an unknown and ancient threat, a plot that seems to show promise. I say 'was' because it was recently announced over on</span> <a href="http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2014/05/27/new-order-1886-video-behind-scenes-ready-dawn/" rel="external nofollow">PlayStation.com</a> <span style="color:#00ffff;">in a blog entry that The Order would be delayed to early 2015, likely February, with a heap of other triple-A titles like Metal Gear Solid: V, Dying Light, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to name a few. The developer, Ready at Dawn, gave the typical reasoning for the delay, explaining how more time was needed to craft the game to perfection.</span> <span style="color:#ffd700;">"we have decided to spend some extra time to deliver on the promise we made . . . you can expect The Order: 1886 to come exclusively to the PlayStation 4 in early 2015."</span><span style="color:#00ffff;"> They said.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.343industries.org/forum/index.php?app=core&amp;module=attach&amp;section=attach&amp;attach_rel_module=post&amp;attach_id=8430" rel="external nofollow">View attachment: 2432359-the+order+1886+shot.jpg</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Are you pleased that The Order: 1886 has been delayed so that it can be adjusted and fixed to the appropriate state a game should launch in, or has this solidified your reasoning that the PlayStation 4 needs more games soon as it's running dry? Let me know below!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffd700;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Destiny 'Art of', 'Making of', and Poster Collection Books Revealed</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Destiny has had much hype leading up to it's fall release, but we're all left scratching our heads on scarce details for two main deals which Bungie has remained silent on, Destiny Books, and a Collector's Edition, and while the Collector's Edition has yet to be mentioned, we have received confirmation of three Destiny books! A </span><a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/26qc52/i_was_going_through_the_june_comic_previews_and/" rel="external nofollow">Reddit.com</a><span style="color:#00ffff;"> user spotted the books in his June Comic Previews catalog and took a screenshot of them, showcasing the three different types mentioned above. Each is labeled as being </span><span style="color:#ffd700;">''Available only within the United States"</span> <span style="color:#00ffff;">which could be a complicated situation for those in outside countries looking for Destiny memorabilia. The Art of Destiny is 160 pages, the Poster Collection is 40 pages, and the Making of Destiny is 156 pages. The Artbook and 'Making of' run at $45 USD each and the poster collection at $24.99 USD.</span></p>

<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Will you be buying the three books, or just certain ones? Discuss below!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffd700;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Dishonored 2: Darkness of Tyvia Fact Sheet Leaked</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Dishonored was a huge game in 2012, and made a large mark in a year of innovative and new games that aren't widely known or have the biggest budget becoming large hits. It makes sense that reps from the development team would say things like, "We clearly have a new franchise" and this statement is further backed with the leak over on VG247.com, who's source leaked them a fact sheet for an E3 demonstration of Dishonored II. This sheet includes the information that the game will include a DOOM Beta access code, like Wolfenstein, and will be on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, as well as feature a new character with new powers hunting down the Outsider, possibly on a mission of revenge as the previous game's theme seemed to be. It will also include a Versus multi-player mode, run on IDTech5 Engine, and release sometime during 2016. Bethesda did speak to VG247 saying, </span><span style="color:#ffd700;">“we don’t comment on rumour or speculation.”</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.343industries.org/forum/index.php?app=core&amp;module=attach&amp;section=attach&amp;attach_rel_module=post&amp;attach_id=8427" rel="external nofollow">View attachment: dishonored-2-02-1024x521.jpg</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Do you want this fact sheet to turn out true, or is there some things you'd change, because now is for sure the time for feedback with E3 days away! Debate below about this rumor!</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>"The Red Dead and Bioshock franchises are permanent franchises." </strong></span></span></p>

<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-size:14px;">This is what the CEO of Take-Two told in a conference.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-size:14px;">He called Red Dead and Bioshock permanent franchises. Meaning that there are still games coming.</span></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-size:14px;">CEO Strauss Zelnik said "GTA is of course a permanent franchise as long as we can cintinue to bring quality with it. It is also very logical to call Red Dead a permanent franchise, as well as Borderlands and NBA."</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Take-Two earlier stated that they'll be releasing a new Rockstar game between now and the 31th of March 2015 as you can see here &gt;&gt;&gt; </span></span></span><a href="http://343i.org/1yy" rel="external nofollow"><span style="color:rgb(232,99,46);"><span style="font-family:helvetica;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="background-color:rgb(59,33,22);">http://343i.org/1yy</span></span></span></span></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);">Zelnick also stated that the developers of Bioshock 2, 2K Marin, will continue their work on the Bioshock franchise.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">"Although Irrational games - the developers of Bioshock 1 and Infinite - is no more, there is still a lot of the universe to explore." </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Would you buy the next games in both franchises?</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Phil Spencer has announced instant screenshot sharing for the Xbox One.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><img alt="xbox-one-console-image.jpg" src="http://86bb71d19d3bcb79effc-d9e6924a0395cb1b5b9f03b7640d26eb.r91.cf1.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/xbox-one-console-image.jpg"></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Phil Spencer has taken to Twitter to reply to a fan, here's the full conversation:</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><abbr title="@jmarris09"> Jamie Marris</abbr></span></span><span style="color:#ffffff;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">:</span></span><span style="color:#00ffff;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"> @XboxP3 any plans to bring the ability to share in game screenshots to say social networks? I.e twitter?</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><abbr title="@XboxP3"> Phil Spencer</abbr></span></span><span style="color:#ffffff;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">: </span></span><span style="color:#00ff00;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">@jmarris09 Yea, this is the list for the monthly updates, team is making great progress on the updates. More features to come.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Now which social networking platforms this will land on is unknown at this time, but it will likely have Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Players already have the ability to stream gameplay through Twitter and even upload gameplay directly to YouTube, but this will give players yet another option to share their Xbox One experience.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">This will likely come as just a small update, and likely will not be part of the larger update coming in June. The update coming in June will be massive, and if you've yet to read about it, you can do so </span></span><a href="http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/35031-xbox-one-update-coming-this-june/" rel="external nofollow"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><strong>HERE</strong></span></span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">What do you think of this update? Are you looking forward to all of these updates coming to the Xbox One?</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments below.</span></span></p>
