Halo 4 Concept Art Leaked
Several pieces of gorgeous concept art for Halo 4 leaked yesterday. From the look of things, the artists at 343 Industries are taking big liberties with the traditional Halo armor design.
I think it all looks rather awesome, myself. I’m a particularly big fan of the multiplayer armor.
Halo 4 Coming November 6th
Microsoft and current Halo franchise developer 343 Industries announced today that Halo 4 hits stores on November 6th – Election Day here in the United States.
I wonder how many people are going to skip the election lines to buy this, instead?
The Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition – Launch Trailer
The Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition lands on the Xbox 360 in three days. It’s a must-buy.
Bethesda Adding Kinect Support to Skyrim
I was on the fence about buying a Kinect. Until now. This alone has me completely sold.
Epic Games Cancels Gears of War Kinect Game
Cliff Bleszinski has confirmed to Gamespot that Epic Games was working on some sort of Kinect title called Gears of War: Exile but that the project has been canceled.
Bleszinski declined to share details about the game or disclose a reason for its cancellation. However, given Epic’s history with “shooters on rails” (ex: Bulletstorm), it’s probably best.
Project Glass: Windows Version
This is one of the best parodies in years.
New Xbox Coming Christmas 2013, Sony to Release PS4 First
VG247 is reporting that Microsoft is finally sharing details about the new Xbox with at least a few of its publishing partners and that we can expect the system to hit stores in time for the holidays next year. They also claim the new system requires an always-on Internet connection to combat piracy and that it has two GPUs and a four or six core CPU.
Sadly, there still seems to be confusion as to whether the system will support used games. In any case, we shouldn’t expect a public announcement about the console until next year.
In related news, VG247 has also learned that Sony is well aware of Microsoft’s plans at this point and intends to beat them to market with the PS4. In fact, Sony is rumored to be planning reveal events for developers in May and June of this year. Still no word on a public reveal.
Assassin’s Creed: Kinect Edition
Sadly, this was just an April Fools joke. Fuck you, Microsoft. I’d buy this!
