Destiny veterans get VIP bonuses with Taken King DLC

By Justin McElroy on Jun 15, 2015 06.15.15

If you were going to wait to hop into Destiny until the Taken King DLC launches on Sept. 15, here's a good reason not to: Bungie will be doling out exclusive bonuses to players who head into The Taken King at level 30-plus or have purchased both previous expansion packs. Here are the details: Players who reach level 30-plus on at least one character or buy both prior expansion packs by August 31 and buy The Taken King by Feb. 1, 2016 will receive an exclusive commemorative "Founder's Fortune" Year 1 emblem, Sparrow, armor shader "and more." What's the "and more"? We'd guess that it's "Gjallarhorn 2: Gjallarhorner" if we hadn't just totally made that up.

'PlayStation is the new home of Call of Duty,' says PlayStation CEO on exclusive deal

By Samit Sarkar on Jun 15, 2015 06.15.15

Sony has taken over for Microsoft as far as Call of Duty exclusivity goes, with a new deal that will bring all map packs to PlayStation first from this point forward, PlayStation CEO Andrew House announced today during Sony's E3 2015 press briefing. The exclusive arrangement will begin with Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, which launches Nov. 6 on PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One. It is also in development for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Developer Treyarch will kick off Black Ops 3's multiplayer beta this August exclusively on PS4. "PlayStation is the new home of Call of Duty," said House. This is an inversion of a relationship that began with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare in 2007, where map packs launched first on Xbox.

Destiny's next expansion is The Taken King, and it will be released Sept. 15, developer Bungie announced today during Sony's E3 2015 press briefing. Today's announcement confirms a leak from earlier this month. The Taken King will introduce new subclasses for each Guardian type, along with new super moves.

Both Collector's Editions come with vanilla Destiny and the first two expansions as well as The Taken King, along with exclusive content. "Oryx is coming, Guardian," the narrator intones in the trailer, which you can watch above. "You got his attention. Now go get his head." In Destiny's first expansion, The Dark Below, players...

King's Quest: A Knight to Remember hits in late July on PlayStation and Xbox

By Dave Tach on Jun 15, 2015 06.15.15

The first chapter of developer The Odd Gentlemen's reimagined version of King's Quest is called King's Quest: A Knight to Remember and will arrive on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Windows PC in late July, publisher Sierra announced today. Polygon saw some of the first chapter during a recent visit to the developer's Los Angeles office, and it's clear that the adventure game series is being reborn in the hands of loving fans who want the broadest audience possible to play the game. King's Quest: A Knight to Remember is a family game — and not a children's game — the developers explained. They want to create something that the entire family can play together and enjoy. Think of it like a Pixar movie, the kind of entertainment that transcends age barriers. M...

Madden NFL 16 gets fantasy football-inspired mode, upgraded passing game

By Colin Campbell on Jun 15, 2015 06.15.15

EA Sports' Ultimate Team, the fantasy team mode with virtual trading cards that's available in most of the publisher's games, is phenomenally popular — as is fantasy football. This year, Madden NFL 16 developer EA Tiburon is bringing fantasy football into Madden, in a way, with a new mode called Draft Champions."Fantasy sports and football go hand in hand," said Seann Graddy, senior producer on Madden 16, in an interview with Polygon. "People just love to draft. They like to get together in a room and pick their team. They think they have more insight about a certain player. We thought about how we could bring the draft experience into Madden." Draft Champions offers you a makeshift squad based on your favorite NFL team. You then take part in a series of draft rounds, picking one...

Watch this 6 minute Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain trailer

By Christopher Grant on Jun 15, 2015 06.15.15

Hideo Kojima shared the latest trailer for his upcoming opus, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, on Geoff Keighley's YouTube E3 special. The trailer, set to New Order's Elegia, clocks in close to a hefty six minutes ... but did you expect anything less from Kojima? Keighley introduced the trailer with the following anecdote: About a month ago I went to Tokyo and had lunch with a good friend of mine, Hideo Kojima. He's been through a lot over the past few months as you've probably read online, regarding his relationship with Konami. But he's been there, working at the Konami office, sequestered away, working on Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. When I met with Mr. Kojima, he told me how proud he was of the game that he's finishing up under very difficult circumstances. He's...

By Christopher Grant on Jun 15, 2015 06.15.15

Kicking off YouTube's E3 live coverage was a reveal for the newest project in Telltale Game's Walking Dead series, a three-episode miniseries titled The Walking Dead: Michonne. Telltale says that this story follows series favorite Michonne and "explores her untold journey during the time between issues #126 and #139 and "players will discover what took Michonne away from Rick, Ezekiel, and the rest of her trusted group... and what brought her back." "In many ways, Michonne herself is a reflection of the world of The Walking Dead. She is brutal and cold on the outside, but deep beneath what is broken, she remains hopeful, trying to claw her way out of the darkness that surrounds her," said Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead. "In our effort to bring the world of the comic and...

By Samit Sarkar on Jun 11, 2015 06.11.15

Tales from the Borderlands developer Telltale Games expects to release the series' third episode, "Catch a Ride," starting June 23, the studio announced today. Here's the episode's synopsis straight from Telltale: After a dizzying escape from a very-near-almost-certain-death scenario (involving statuesque buttocks), Rhys and Fiona find themselves looking for another piece of the puzzle that will lead them to the untold riches of Vault key ownership. Lost in the mysterious jungle of an Atlas terraforming facility, Fiona finds help from an unexpected mentor, Rhys continues to share brain-space with the disembodied mind of a dead dictator, and love is in the air. Pursued by the ruthless criminal 'Queenpin' Vallory, and with very little help from Vaughn's accountancy skills (or stellar...

Marshawn Lynch unleashing Beast Mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3

By Samit Sarkar on Jun 09, 2015 06.09.15

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 will feature Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, making him the first athlete to appear in the Call of Duty franchise, reports ESPN The Magazine. Earlier this year, the bruising halfback traveled to Activision's motion-capture studio in Los Angeles so Black Ops 3 developer Treyarch could scan his face and body into the game, and record him in performance capture. ESPN The Magazine reports that Lynch, a huge Call of Duty fan, has been playing the series since he was in college a decade ago. Must Read Call of Duty: Black Ops 3's campaign is now a team effort Following the scanning process, Lynch donned a motion-capture suit to record a Black Ops 3 cutscene.

Destiny players, this is how you stop an axion bolt grenade with style

By Ben Kuchera on Jun 09, 2015 06.09.15

Destiny's Axion Bolt grenades may not do as much damage as other grenades, but their ability to lock onto your target make up for that. This quick video, from YouTube user Break Free, shows a classy and pretty effective way to avoid those pesky things. All it takes is a good sense of timing and a willingness to look silly if you don't pull it off but, if everything goes your way? Magic.

By Megan Farokhmanesh on Jun 09, 2015 06.09.15

LittleBigPlanet 3's first adventure pack, The Journey Home, will be available next month, community coordinator Steven Isbell announced on the PlayStation Blog. "When we last saw Sackboy, he had just waved goodbye to Newton, Captain Pud and Nana Pud before stepping into Newton's latest teleportation contraption to depart Bunkum for a one-way trip back to Craftworld ... Or so we thought," Isbell wrote. The Journey Home will "chronicle the next exciting chapter for Sackboy, OddSock, Toggle and Swoop as they discover that Newton's contraption didn't exactly work as planned." The DLC will include new levels inspired by fan favorite themes and characters from past titles, as well as co-op challenges, power-ups and more. For more on LittleBigPlanet 3, read our review.
