  1. It isn't riding anything into the ground. It's a phone app, that's it. It's a little voice that gives you directions and stuff, it's not 343i or Microsoft doing anything with the license of Halo itself, this project isn't in relation to Halo AT ALL besides it being Cortana.
  2. Filling a CORTANA voice app with HALO references is great! That's what they should be doing! It's fan service.
  3. Microsoft makes Cortana it's Siri to give fan service, and people are complaining? *sigh* the gaming community has really gone downhill. There's zero milking being done here, if Apple can make Siri, then Microsoft can make an service similar for its phones too. Why not have Cortana, a well known and widely popular fan favorite character, in their as the voice? It's call good marketing, not milking.
  4. So you own Halo CEA, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 4. 343i is remastering Halo 2 entirely and bundling it with three other games with upgrades to each + Halo 5 Guardians Beta + Halo: Nightfall all for $60. In technical terms, MCC is in itself a new game.
  5. The hit title Assassin's Creed Unity marketed to release October 28th is now releasing 2 weeks later on November 11th, the same day as it's counterpart on previous generation Assassin's Creed Rogue, another Ubisoft title The Crew, and the largely anticipated Halo: The Master Chief Collection. It's no secret that companies like to compete, especially in the gaming world, and that's why the news about Assassin's Creed Unity's delay sort of makes sense. IGN.com reports that Ubisoft announced the delay today, slating the release for November 11th, 2014. The same day as Assassin's Creed Rogue and The Crew, and some time near Far Cry 4. While it could be understood that Ubisoft would set the date to compete with Halo: The Master Chief Collection, it makes little sense to compete with other games under your belt, two of them releasing on the same day. As well the game now has a Day One patch, what the patch is for is currently unknown. The dates for AC Unity and AC Rogue are also aligning in Europe and other countries where the releases usually happen later, as both games are now slated to release on the 13th. View attachment: Assassins-Creed-Unity-assassination.jpg What do you think of this news, are you disappointed Unity is coming later? Let me know below! Thank you very much for reading!

  7. NEXT GENERATION SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! Lockout baby, you look great! Can't wait to play you all night long!
  8. I know lol, these are all TEST banners, they were made as humourous little gags at first that turned into an idea, the final banners will not ALL have EK in the name!
  9. I had no clue you left... WELL DAMMIT I WAS PRETTY HAPPY WITH DESTINY COMING UP BUT THERE THAT HAPPINESS GOES.
  10. Hello everyone! Now, I made a few banners for possible future events and decided I wanted to post them here and get a rough head count of WHO is getting what games and when, so I can plan out these events. Event 1: Event 2: Event 3: Event 4: Event 5: Sorry if they're rough, they were just test banners. Go ahead and post below what games above you're getting and for what platform so I can see what is possible to plan out. PEACE!
  11. Bungie's next hit FPS Destiny will be available on the Xbox One market place for gamers to pre-load on their system before launch! Last week, Microsoft heralded in a new feature to the Xbox One with the launch of Madden 15, pre-loading. Pre-loading allows you to download the game to it's fullest on your system before launch and when launch hits, play it with no waiting hassle. IGN.com reports that Destiny will be the next game to receive this feature, and will be available to pre-load soon. A microsoft spokesperson commented, saying, "We’re thrilled to make Destiny available for pre-order and pre-download . . . this option was available for a short period of time before the official pre-order window opened. We’ll have more details to share soon about the pre-order and pre-download window for Destiny." So far no confirmed pre-load window as he says, but I'd expect it to be open around the launch weekend, September 5th, 6th, and 7th. So far this feature for Destiny has only been confirmed for the Xbox One, however I'd expect the PS4 to also receive the game for pre-load with an announcement coming soon. The game launches in just 2 weeks on September 9th. View attachment: 2-2x7wAIQ.jpg Are you going to pre-load Destiny, or is a physical copy a must for a game like Destiny? Discuss below! Thank you very much for reading everyone!

  13. YUUUUS now I have someone to play with on Xbone Day Uno. I already have ya added. See ya then.
  14. Hello everyone, EK here, and I'm conducting a poll to see who's getting Destiny for what platform and when they're getting it. Please do participate, it's important cause I got nobody to play with on launch day :c Kbai.
  15. So because we've had 4 different assassins since Ezio that means they didn't spin him off? I just said thank god they didn't pull an Ezio and continue Edward, Connor, or Aveline's story lines, because that would've been bad, I didn't say the Ezio spin-offing was still going ._.
  16. To me personally, Unity. Why? Current generation only, can work off the new hardware without being held back. Multiplayer co-op as Assassins, with friends this will be a blast, however with strangers I fear the game will lose it's co-op value. Beautiful graphics. Spin-off game, THANK GOD they didn't pull an Ezio again and start going off one assassin again, that was some BS. French Revolution is one of my favorite time periods in history.

    Hello

    BY THE NINE! THE LEGENDS WERE TRUE! Cool to see you back though, Welcome back.
  18. Hello everyone, boys, girls, people of indiscernible gender, striped horses that beckon, and warm slices of wheat. Welcome to the Weekly News Wrap-Up for the 23rd of August, 2014! I have your usual three awesome articles but as usual I'm gonna do some shameless advertising. Do attend my upcoming GTA V event and my bud Self Destruct's event coming up, they're both gonna be sick! And a shoutout to my buddy Bnus who left the Communications team, and a warm welcome to Ignited Bullet who joined the team. Now, unto the Wrap-Up! View attachment: WNW 82314.JPG The Witcher 3 Not 1080p/60 FPS, Likely Won't Be At Launch With the dawn of new consoles, there is always a game at their launches that raise the bar and show off the true graphical potential and prowess of the system, but it looks like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, won't be that game this generation. According to WorldsFactory.net, who interviewed CD Projekt Red, the developers, the game isn't running at full 1080p/60 FPS yet, and likely won't by launch. When speaking to a visual effects artist, he said, "If we can make it at 1080P, sure, but I don’t know if it’s going to make it. To be honest, I really don’t know. Probably not. But for sure, we need it to run at a smooth frame rate, so at least 30 FPS." The artist then proceeded to press blame on the demanding physics engine in-game. He also shared the progress of the game on the PS4 and Xbox One, saying how at first they feared the game was so demanding that the consoles couldn't run it and it would be a PC exclusive, but they worked out the kinks and they are making progress to getting it working. It isn't quite there yet however, so don't count on an early release in any stretch. View attachment: witcher.jpg Does this news disappoint you, has it swayed your excitement for the Witcher 3? Discuss below! The Walking Dead Season 2 Finale Release Date Revealed There's no going back now, with the end of The Wolf Among Us leaving us with more questions then answers, don't expect an easy time playing The Walking Dead Season 2 waiting for the next season of The Wolf Among Us, as TWD is coming to an end. Telltale announced on their Twitter.com account that the season finale, titled "No Going Back", will be releasing on PlayStation NA, PC, and Mac on August 26th, Xbox 360 and PlayStation EU on the 27th, and iOS on the 28th. There is a trailer out, however it contains spoilers so I won't link it in case you (like myself) haven't played Season 2 yet. It will be available for $5, or you can buy the Season Pass with all five episodes for $25. View attachment: Bvh7G5CCMAA6CbY.jpg Are you excited for TWD Season 2's finale, do you think it will bring you to tears like Season 1's? Let me know in the thread below! Phillip Fish Selling 'Fez' License and 'Polytron' Company; Leaving Gaming You have probably heard his infamous name, Phil Fish, some have called him a genius for his work on Fez, but now he battles an onslaught of curses and profanities aimed at him and his overreactive personality. The man has gone as far to say his fans don't deserve a sequel to the original Fez, and has had other unpopular opinions like how developers should be paid royalties for reviews and gameplay and the defense of a female gaming figure who allegedly had sexual relations with figures in the gaming industry to work her way up. Too many to name here, but the surprising news GameSpot.com has reported is that after a devastating attack left Phil's personal info including bank account passwords, addresses, and private documents out in the open, Phil is selling the license to his game, Fez, and his company Polytron. Phil made a statement offering his 'helpful' advice to developers, saying, "No reasonable offer will be turned down. I am done. I want out. RUN AWAY. Just don't do it. Give up your dreams. They are actually nightmares. Nothing is worth this. To every aspiring game developer out there: Don't. give up. It's not worth it. This is your audience. This is videogames." As sad as it is, under Fish's ownership Fez II would never have been made, maybe now we can see a sequel to the fun little indie. View attachment: 2268085-fez3.jpeg I say 'fun little indie' but I've never actually played it BECAUSE of Phil himself and the way he treats fans, but I have heard it is good. Have you ever played Fez? Tell me how it is below! Thanks for reading guys, and be sure to check out the above playdates and congratulation Bullet! I'll see you all next time, have a good week guys and gals.
