Hah! Well, I remember our @Chandoo here being a die-hard X360 fan and a PS critic. I think @TheGoldenTouch was primarily an X360 gamer as well. Those were good days with all the rivalry and fun. :)
I owned a PS3 as long as I owned a 360 last gen and have been a Pro owner for a year and a half now. Hell, I even have a gaming PC now, time to get with the times :p

Rumor: New Splinter Cell, Rage 2, Gears of War 5 and more outed in retail listing

[h=2]Walmart Canada may have just spoiled some E3 surprises[/h]




A batch of retail listings from Walmart Canada may have outed a couple of E3 surprises, including unannounced games like a new Splinter Cell, Rage 2, Lego DC Villains, Gears of War 5, a new Assassin’s Creed and Just Cause 4.
Some of the placeholder listings, via Wario64 on Twitter, which include announced games like Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, Beyond Good and Evil 2, The Last of Us 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Remake, appear legitimate. Others — “Forza Horizons 5” — look inaccurate (2016’s Forza Horizon 3 is the most recent entry in that franchise). Other listed titles, likeBorderlands 3 and Destiny Comet, a frequently used codename for major expansions for Destiny games, are expected to be officially announced soon. “Dragon Quest 2” is listed, which is likely a placeholder for Dragon Quest Builders 2.


A screenshot of Walmart Canada’s placeholder listingsWith E3 2018 just about a month away, it’s looking like some publishers’ surprise announcements — some of which aren’t very surprising — might have been spoiled by Walmart Canada’s online store.
We’re reaching out to Ubisoft, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, Bethesda Softworks, Microsoft and Square Enix for confirmation.

[h=1]Bethesda responds to apparent Rage 2 leak in best way possible[/h]

[h=2]When you don’t want to confirm or deny Rage 2 exists[/h]





There are good and bad ways to respond to a leak, and it looks as if Bethesda has decided to take the higher route with its public response to Walmart’s listing of what might be one of its upcoming games.
Rage was a first-person shooter from id Software that came out in 2011 to middling reviews, and led to John Carmack apologizing for the game in a 2012 QuakeCon keynote. That seemed to be the end of Rage’s story, until Walmart Canada posted a listing for Rage 2, which is not yet officially announced.
The official Rage Twitter account later tweeted the following image:

Seriously, Walmart. At least put some effort into your placeholder listings. This joke is pretty light and fluffy as these things go, but does anyone else notice what it doesn’t include?
A denial.
Publishers tend not to comment on this sort of thing, because announcements are carefully timed for maximum impact so they don’t want to confirm the game is coming right now, but they also don’t want to lie and say it’s not in production. Giving the retailer a playful ribbing is a good middle ground.
Bethesda’s Pete Hines retweeted the image, and responded to a fan’s question about another game with a similar tone.

Walmart Canada Has Just Accidentally Leaked Unannounced E3 Games

Hype for this years E3 conference is already hotting up and Walmart Canada may have just made our wildest dreams come true.
The companies ‘New video game releases page’ has just accidentally shown a bunch of unannounced games which we believe will be announced at E3.
One Twitter user managed to grab a screenshot of the mistake before it was taken down.

The unannounced games are as follows:

  • Just Cause 4
  • Splinter Cell
  • Dragon Quest 2 (PS4/XBO)
  • LEGO DC Villans
  • Borderlands 3
  • Rage 2
  • Gears of War 5
  • Forza Horizons 5
  • Assassin’s Creed
There are of course games who have been announced but not yet released in the mix as well.
Retailers and shops are made aware of releases before they are announced so they have enough time to prepare for the releases. This leak could be the first big announcements ruined for many gaming companies.
It also confirms that there will be an Assassin’s Creed release which has been rumoured before now.
These are some of the biggest leaks that we have seen so far this year.

RAGE is one of those perfect examples of games where you can have excellent gameplay mechanics (top-tier gunplay) but still end up with a boring experience overall. Hopefully they can make it relevant again as they did with DOOM.

Looks like Nintendo will have a game-filled E3. Gamestop has received 15 unknown games for place holder (meaning they will be allowed to start taking pre orders) for after E3.

All dates are place holder and will be updated when announced officially.

The new Pokemon for Switch must definitely be one of them. I hope it's good; if there's anything that'll make me buy my first non-PS console in ten years, it's Pokemon.
