  1. It depends on how you feel about it. How many exclusives excite you? How many features do you feel are necessary or add more to your experience? When are these features and games being implemented if not already? For me, because of all the exclusives I plan on getting, yes. For you however, it might be a complete new ballpark.
  2. 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! View attachment: WNW 61414.JPG Diablo III Confirmed for 900p on Xbox One; 1080p on PlayStation 4 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 IGN.com, 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, "We're prioritizing frame rate." 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. View attachment: Diablo-3-Reaper-of-Souls-Soundtrack.jpg What do you think, is it disappointing that it's only 900p on Xbox One, or is it okay for the 'next' generation to put out a 900p game? Discuss below! Grand Theft Auto V Announced for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 4 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. EscapistMagazine.com 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. View attachment: gta-v-.jpg What do you think of the news? Are you excited for GTA V on the newer platforms, enough to pre-order or buy day one? Let me know below! Mass Effect Prequel Teased at E3 Mass Effect has become a pop culture hit in it's latest years, and fans were foaming at the teeth for a new reveal at E3's conference, what they got only managed to tease more, on Mass Effect's 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. View attachment: ME-E3.jpg What did you think of the teaser, was it done well enough to entice you further? Debate below, and thanks for reading! Thanks for reading indeed, and I'll see you next time on the Weekly News Wrap-Up! View full article

  4. Agreed 100%. Do I think it was a stupid decision on Ubi's part? Hell yeah I do! But they're Ubisoft too, you think a giant, diverse, and monopolisitc corporation like them would go, "Hey let's alienate part of our fanbase"? Hell no they wouldn't
  5. FIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRST A well deserved title for an outstanding member, I wish you the best of luck in the future Maru! DAMMIT SO CLOSE
  6. I think more metallic colours IN GENERAL should be available! Why no Neon colours? Why no metallic colours? Why no refractive colours? This is something that seriously needs to be added, along with patterns for the armor like hexagonal.
  7. THERE'S BEEN AN UPDATE So, Microsoft, you've convinced me. I will be purchasing the kinect-less X1 for my birthday, and probably buy Titanfall or Forza just to have something to play on it. The MCC looks too good to pass up.
  8. That was hilarious, and I'm a huge PS4 fan. See, this is fine, having fun with each other, I just dislike the rabid fanboy-ism wars. Xbox isn't so innocent either.
  9. 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! 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 Polygon.com, 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. View attachment: Alpha-Top-Banner-Alpha-Xbox360-20140610.png What do you think of this news? Will you be purchasing the Alpha, or do you fully need the SteamOS before making a transaction? Let me know below, thanks for reading the article!

  11. Don't blame me, Bnus asked for this. And Sparky wished for it in his evil little mind I bet MORE WILL BE ADDED I JUST NEEDED TO GET THESE OUT AS I WAS HYSTERICAL LAUGHING
  12. Really? Three different skulls locked off to three different retailers? These are part of the main game, and I can't access them all in any way. Great job MS Marketing team. 10/10 IGN.
  13. 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. 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 Ubi.com, 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, “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." 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. View attachment: ACunitybackdrop.png Did you like the block system in the previous Assassin's Creed titles, or are you glad to see such an overpowered system stripped out from the game?

  15. Yay first to ask the awesome mysterious Director! Who do you think won E3? (Microsoft v Sony v Ubisoft v EA v Nintendo)
  16. 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. 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 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. View attachment: PS4Destinybundle.jpg What are your thoughts on the Destiny PS4 bundle? Or how about the exclusive armor and weapons only available to PlayStation owners? Let me know below, thanks for reading!

  18. I called IGN bad and said I was better then them, yes, but here he's proclaiming I say I'm better than the ENTIRE AMERICAN SYSTEM which is false.
  19. EA... Listen okay? Hear me out here! You can do anything at all, you can charge me money to type your name, I could care less, if you announce Spore 2 I will shove money up your mouth at an alarming rate; I will pre-order multiple copies of the game for myself; Collector's Editions, Art books, DLC, anything related to Spore 2 if you just ANNOUNCE IT! I DON'T NEED MUCH, JUST A TEASER OR ONE GUY TO COME OUT AND SAY "Hey Spore 2. Bye." AND LEAVE, JUST SOMETHING PLEASE.
  20. If it's damaging my reputation then I'll ask, but it seems to be fine atm. And no you haven't seen it, as it has never happened. Unless you have a screencap, I'm not buying it as anything more then misinformation.
  21. This post lost all credibility when you said, "I'm a girl btw" for no reason at all. XBL gold is expired anyway, so can't join.
  22. If they announce The Last of Us 2 I will flip out and likely run around the house yelling and breaking things. If they announce Crackdown 3 I will rummage through my wallet to find money for an Xbox One stat. If they announce Fallout 4 I'll probably fall back in my chair in glee. That's about all I'm excited for to be fair.
  23. Thought I'd share this from GameStop's page for AC Unity.
  24. You guys aren't understanding this lol, let me reiterate. These are all games I'm CONFIRMED to pick up on my birthday, I need more suggestions besides these games, not reviews
