Possible bans on xbox US sales

From the verdict that was given recently about german citizens not being able ot buy xbox products, The judge has then decided to follow this up to the US government. This could result in a complete ban of sales of Windows 7 and xbox consoles in the United states. If this decision is followed through, the final decision will be passed onto the white house where US president (Barak Obama) will choose micrsoft's sales fate.
This decision though is unlikely to follow through

New Destiny Pics


Here are the only Pictures seen of Bungies new game Codenamed destiny which are only a logo and some art work.


From the pictures we can see that Destiny will have a Rustic/western and maybe even Post apocalyptic theme but the Logo gives the idea of one major industrial organaisation.

It is rumoured that this will definately be an MMO but will also work on consoles.
This leads to the idea of a FPS stategy where you have the playable soldiers on the ground backed up with the RTS players controlling the NPCs from above. This may work as being an MMO.

Overall Destiny looks to be a very promising and we hope it lives up to Bungies past titles.


Autumn Sales are looking expensive

Console players are looking at a jam packed autumn (Fall) schedule now that things are getting cleared up and announced. There are still plenty of titles waiting for confirmed dates but the ones that already have them are looking nice. Home consoles this year = hurt wallets. (Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Dishonored, Crysis 3, Halo 4, PC, PS3, Xbox 360)

POWER OF THE CRYENGINE


Crysis 3 Environment 'Urban Jungle'

For almost a decade the CryENGINE has stood as the industry example of constantly improving, cutting-edge game development software. From unbelievably real environments and beautiful lighting to dynamic physics and razer-sharp AI, CryENGINE is the foremost engine for open world and sandbox gameplay.

With Crysis and Crysis 2, Crytek proved that, in the hands of its creators, this engine can be pushed to almost limitless possibilities.

With Crysis 3, they’re taking it to the next level. Whether you’re marveling at the stop-and-stare graphics, getting lost in the thick of immersive environments, experimenting with industry-leading physics, or making sanbox choices as you stalk your enemies, the CryENGINE will be taking your expectations for gaming to the next level.

Bungie Game details Leaked

According to Court documents from Activision, Bungie will be making four new Sci Fi Firsty person Shooter games Codenamed Destiny. As we know the game will be Developed by Bungie and activision which means that the game has a lot to live up to.

Destiny is expected to release its first game on Fall 2013 and will proceed to make the next four games on the fall of 2015, 2017 and 2019.

As well as this, there will be four expansions codenamed comet that will appear during the fall of 2014, 2016, 1018 and 2018.

The game will be set to launch on the Xbox 360 and Its next sucessor future console. The first game will also appear on PS3 in 2014 if the PS3 is capable of hosting the same game as the other two consoles. There will also be a PC version.

For now thats all we know and the name Destiny was Leaked in 2010 as well as an idea of Project Tiger that would be an MMO but for now Destiny is the real deal and we look forward to sharing the information with you in the future.

Borderlands 2

2K Games and Gearbox Software have released more information on Borderlands 2. I myself have not played any of the Borderlands games, or rather just the first one. But Dan has and he says that it is brilliant so we are very excited for the sequel.

2K Games and Gearbox Software today have confirmed the much anticipated news that there will be two tiers of the special limited edition versions of Borderlands 2 -- the Deluxe Vault Hunter's Collector Edition and the Ultimate Loot Chest Limited Edition for Borderlands 2.


-- The Deluxe Vault Hunter's Collector Edition --

Priced at just $99.99 US, the content-packed special bundle of gaming goodness that has been named Borderlands 2: The Deluxe Vault Hunter's Collector Edition embraces the very essence of Borderlands and naturally includes a copy of the base game for Borderlands 2, along with an authentic Marcus Kincaid bobblehead of most excellent artistic form!

In addition to that there is the hardbound and very collectible book "Inside the Vault: The Art & Design of Borderlands 2" that presents an amazingly fascinating look into the inspired art that became the very foundation of our continued adventure within the world of Borderlands 2, and this hardbound collectible book is accompanied by a collectable sticker set, a map of Pandora, and a digital comic download code, as well as bonus downloadable in-game digital content, creating a stand-out and impressive CE version of the game that will make even the most demanding of fans and gamers thrilled.


-- The Borderlands 2 Ultimate Loot Chest Limited Edition --

Priced at an amazing $149.99 The Borderlands 2 Ultimate Loot Chest Limited Edition includes everything that we talked about above with the Deluxe Vault Hunter's CE, but in addition also adds a collectable, scaled replica of the red loot chests found throughout Pandora in Borderlands 2, a steel book case, a "Creatures of Pandora" wide-format ID chart, and a lithograph postcard set!


Not satisfied with that, the publisher also includes a set of field notes from Sir Hammerlock, a cloth map of Pandora, and a numbered certificate of authenticity providing verifiable proof of the most excellent collected set of gaming goodness container herein!

Both of these special editions will be available for the Xbox 360 from Microsoft, Sony's PlayStation 3, and for gamers who prefer the old-school gaming platform in the form of their personal gaming rig, powered by Microsoft Windows.

We can't wait for the real game here at GameBoxStudios and we look forward to bringing you videos on game-play and easter eggs.

Skyrim: Dawnguard DLC Update

As said in a former post. Recently Bethesda has announced the first of several DLC pcakages for the Elder Scrolls V Skyrim.
The proposed DLC will be named Dawnguard which more details will be given at E3 2012. Bethesda also released a picture with this announcement as seen below.
This Announcement Agrees with some leaked information given out a few months ago which is a letter given by an ex Bethesda employee who was kicked out. He then proceeded to write this letter giving out all information he knew on the upcoming Skyrim DLC's



As you can see from the text, The DLCs will allow you to return to Morrowind and Cyrodiil to become better creatures than warewolves and continue the quest against/for the Thalmor. You will also be able to go to Hammerfell and Ride dragons which has only ever been seen in Modded versions of Bethesda games.It also states how there will be smaller DLC's aswell such as Horse armour and of course there should be some additions to spells and User Houses (Abodes).

Overall Dawnguard looks very promising and is set to quench our thirst for more quests and fun that should be introduced over the sumer. The only question is is if the DLC lives up to the leaked content. Which we are sure it will.
