Bungie’s first-person shooter has been a console exclusive ever since its launch in 2014. Reported by Kotaku’s Jason Schreier and a NeoGaf poster that goes by benny_a – Destiny 2 will be coming to PC. The sequel to Destiny is reportedly slated for late 2017.  Players with high-end computers will be able see Destiny’s universe in a different light. Without the limitations of last generation consoles Destiny can do things that couldn’t be done before. Bungie wants Destiny 2 to be a fully new game, not just an expansion that adds to the base game. The rumor was first spotted in a NeoGaf post saying that he knew someone at Activision. That person then traveled from plane to train and was shown a presentation on a laptop. Benny_a continues to say that Vicarious Vision and High Moon will help with the project. And oh yeah, matchmaking is in the sequel. For the NeoGaf Post Click Here Vicarious Vision has been around since 1990 and partnered with Activision in 2005. Over the years th

On Friday the 23 rd Destiny’s new raid Wrath of the Machine was released. Only two hours in its release a clan has already bested SIVA (Infectious AI). In comparison to the last raid, King’s Fall took seven hours to complete. That is a huge difference. Shortening the raid can give players with limited time to be able to try out the raid. A smaller raid doesn’t mean anyone can breeze through it. Guardians will be tested. If you thought about raiding in Destiny or feel intimidated by the raids, Wrath of the Machine might be a good place to start. The Wrath of the Machine is the newest raid in Destiny. Released last Friday, and in just a couple of hours the machine has been conquered. A Clan named Redeem was the first team in the world to beat it. And it only took two hours! This was just the normal mode of the raid. Like the other raids, in a couple weeks Bungie will release a hard mode for Wrath of the Machine. When it releases Guardians can go back with more rewards and some mo

Destiny’s fourth expansion Rise of Iron isn’t as big as their last expansion – The Taken King. But it adds enough with new weapons, armor, a raid, and so much more keeping the game fresh. After playing a lot of destiny the first couple months of release, I couldn’t get myself into the other expansions. Now that the annual Destiny DLC is upon us with Rise of Iron, I can see myself enjoying it as I did the first couple weeks of release. I enjoyed my time with vanilla Destiny, even though there wasn’t a lot to do the gameplay loop was hypnotizing. The raids, strikes, and the gun play still is amazing – it kept me coming back. The storyline didn’t create the impact an engaging narrative should have. Bungie wasted an opportunity in providing a great story. Over the last two years they fixed a lot of those problems with Destiny.  Rise of Iron didn’t have the big impact on the game like The Taken King did. Keep in mind that this

This year’s Tokyo Game Show (TGS) was filled with new games, new trailers, and release dates. TGS kicked off with a PlayStation press conference (In Japanese) showing off their new hardware, release dates, and more with Hideo Kojima’s new game Death Stranding. The PlayStation conference was just Day 0 and wasn’t the only news to come from TGS. The conference was a great way to start off the biggest video game trade show in Japan. On September 14 PlayStation held a press conference, first showing the new PS4 bundles. There will be a bundle for Persona 5 and Final Fantasy XV (Luna Edition). Along with the reveal of the new bundles, the PS Vita is getting a new revision – only in japan though. Publisher Koei Tecmo is in the works with a new game called, Musou Stars. Similar to the Dynasty Warriors franchise, the game will be a mash-up of Koei Tecmo games, featuring characters like, Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden), Kasumi (Dead or Alive) and much more. Musou Star is set t

The PlayStation 4 got an update to its interface with new features. On September 13 the new firmware update added a new user interface, folders, a refresh to the quick and share menu, and High Dynamic Range lighting (HDR). These are just a few changes to the PS4.  The new user interface is now easy to navigate. Before selecting a game, the dashboard at the bottom of the app will show live content of the game. The dashboard will display the number of streamers and friends playing the game. It also will display trophies for the selected game under the game’s icon. The new interface is cleaner and more accessible for the everyday gamer. The quick menu is a fast way to open and close other settings or apps. The update gives the player the ability to customize their menu with varieties of settings. All you need to do is check a box if you want it or uncheck a box if you don’t. Players can now see friends online, start live streaming, listening to music on the fly and much more.

Once again The Last Guardian is delayed. You will now have to wait until December to play with our dragon-like friend. The Last Guardian was announced in 2009. With many delays it seems no one was surprised by this announcement.  Sony announced On Monday that The Last Guardian’s release date will be moved from October 25 to December 6. But Everyone doesn’t seem surprise by the delay, in fact they would rather wait for the PS4 Pro and play it with better graphical power. This is now a joke around the gaming community. This long in development and with so many delays, gamers have made a joke out of the announcement. Maybe joking about it distracts players and lessens the impact on the delay. In the announcement Fumito Ueda (Director and Lead designer) shared the reason for the delay. “We have encountered more bugs than anticipated while in final stages of development.” “To ensure that the game delivers on the experience that the game’s creators have envisioned, we need t

Sony held an event to announce two new consoles. The PS4 Slim and Pro. At E3, Microsoft also announced two new consoles. A Slim model of the Xbox One (S).  And another console that will supposedly be “The most powerful console ever”, codename Scorpio. Rumor is, it will have 6 teraflops for 4K optimization. Now that both companies introduced their new consoles, we can finally compare the two. The PS4 Slim and Pro are the newest members of the PS4 family. The Slim will feature the same specs of the original PS4 with minor changes. The USB ports will now support 3.1 USB input and the removal of the optical port. Sony will also be releasing an update to all PS4s that will include HDR lighting (High Dynamic Range) –  which will only work with an HDR TV. Not a lot has changed but, these changes seem to me like a step backwards. I don’t see any additional features to the Slim. The PS4 Pro are for the hardcore gamers. At $399 it’s a good way for new players to join the the PS4 comm

                PlayStation held an event to reveal two new additions to their PlayStation 4 family. The PlayStation (Slim) and The PlayStation Pro. The Slim will function the same as the original PS4. The PS4 Pro is the main reason everyone was so excited about this event. Along with new hardware they will be releasing a firmware update for the other PS4s. The update will feature High Dynamic Range (HDR). This will keep the existing PS4 community from feeling like they've been abandoned. The PlayStation Slim was first at the event. Which they are replacing as the base PS4 model. The Slim was already leak two weeks before the event. They didn’t spend much time talking about features, mostly because gamers have seen its ins and outs. Soon, existing PS4 owners will receive a firmware upgrade that should excite everyone. This model will be available in stores on September 15, 2016 for $299.             Now for the main hardware everyone wanted to see. The PlayStation

              Call of Duty is one of the biggest and well known franchises in the industry. On September 2nd they held a fan event called,” The Call of Duty Experience” (CoD XP) showing the game’s multi-player features. This year’s CoD XP was a little different. In addition of showing multi-player for their upcoming game Infinite Warfare, they also showed multi-player for two other games. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remaster will be packaged with Infinite Warfare; that won’t be sold on its own. Also a new DLC is out for Black Ops 3 called, “Salvation”. This DLC will be focused on new multi-player maps and zombies.                 Infinity Ward’s new Call of Duty game, Infinite Warfare is a new take for the franchise. Call of Duty have always been in the World War II setting. The past two games have focused more on the futuristic setting with wall running and jetpacks. With a new setting, Infinity Ward can create new and interesting features that captures the world of futurist

          The Nintendo Direct happened this week, focused on 3DS. Nintendo announced new games, updates, and DLC for the rest of 2016 and 2017. There are new stuff releasing this week that seems interesting to take a look at. If you’re a new or old 3DS owner, this Direct is packed with information. Setting up this event reassured that the 3DS is living and well.             There were a lot of new announcements during the direct.  One of which was a new game called, Ever Oasis. This is an adventure, role-playing game. And is set to be released in 2017. You will be playing a hero named Tethu. As Tethu you will be doing the usual dungeon crawling, fighting monsters, and talking to NPCs. A mechanic that I want to see is the visitor system. NPCs will travel through the world and will visit your hometown. Along away you can recruit them.             One announcement that got me excited is the re-release of Super Mario Maker for 3DS. I’ve always wanted to play Mario Maker but I

                            When Battlefield One was announced on May 6 th, it didn’t appeal to me the way Titanfall 2 or Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare did. Before the reveal it was rumored that that next battlefield will be set in an alternate version of World War I. I was more interested to see DICE’s version of WWI, but hearing that it’s based on real history, my appeal to the game lessened. As it gets closer to the games release day, EA opened a public beta on August 3rd. It is not yet known how long the beta will be open. The requirement for collecting Battlefield 1’s battle tag is to play four straight days, so you can bet it will be up for the week. I’ve heard great things about Battlefield 1 demos, I want to try it to know for myself.             The beta released with only one map called “Sinai Desert”, sets of four class loadouts, and two modes called Conquest and Rush. The full game will feature more maps and modes when released, expect changes in the full game. T
