It’s memorial day weekend, but before you guys head out to start roasting weenies, I’ve got all your video game news from the week. For the Daily DL I’m Destin, and this is the Weekly Wrap Up.

If you could tease a new Aliens video game, how would you do it? How about burnt cevered, doll heads? (Source: DTOID) Well that’s exactly what someone thought would be a good idea, and while it’s dramatic it seems to have gotten the job done. Jim Sterling over on Destructoid was the first one I saw who connected the dots after he noticed that it was sent by Rebecca Jorden, a character known as Newt in the Aliens series. You know what? I’m calling it right now.

Legit. We’ve been teased by Gearbox for a year, but after I talked to Randy Pitchford last year I can confirm that the game is well underway. If revealed at E3 with a video of any kind, this will be the first time we’ve heard about the game, since The Daily DL posted the first trailer back in 2008. Also, Kotaku has an interview scheduled to see the game, so I’m pretty sure I’m right on this one.

Sony’s back in the news, but for something that I don’t think is going to be a PR nightmare! During an earnings call earlier this week, Sony not only confirmed that the NGP is on track to release this year, (Source: CVG) but they also had news about something a little bigger. The PS4. (Source: Eurogamer) During that same call, they said that they’re working on a future platform to follow the PS3. This contradicts the statements made in March when Kaz Hirai seemed to be saying that they weren’t working on a next-generation home console. Weather or not this has anything to do with the fact that Nintendo could be about to destroy the competition with a new console remains to be seen.

Okay I have a lot to cover, and I want to get to my vacation, so I’m just going to throw it right into afterburner mode. Let’s go.

Ghost Recon is going Free-to-Play with their new shooter GhostRecon Online. This will be the first online multiplayer title where you can shoot gold sellers right in the face. (Source: DTOID)

A new Call of Duty trailer was released. Not a single person was surprised that a Call of Duty will be released the same time it is every year. (Source: Press Release)

Kojima has something big planned for the 25th anniversary of Metal Gear next year. Hint… IT’S MORE METAL GEAR. (Source: Joystiq)

Valve is offering free Portal 2 soundtrack downloads. I don’t have a joke for that one, you should just download it. (Source: Game Informer)

and A 2D side scrolling gameplay trailer was revealed for the new BloodRayne. (Source) This was quite surprising seeing I was sure Uwe Boll had destroyed the franchise with that awful awful attempt at being a film maker.

Stop. Best time ever oh yeah.

One last segment for you guys, seeing we’re headed into E3. Gametrailers released their top 10 most anticipated games of E3 and instead of wasting your time watching it, I thought I’d tell you what was listed in a little segment called Spoilers. (Source: Gametrailers)

They said Dark Souls, Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3, Uncharted 3, Tomb Raider, Zelda: Skyward Sword, I’m a dick for doing this, Mass Effect 3, Batman: Arkham City, Elder Scrolls Skyrim, and Bioshock Infinite. I will end up going to hell for this segment. Also, they’re right about every single one of those.

finally, a few new details about Ninja Gaiden 3 have finally come to the surface, and I’m more than willing to share. (Source: Joystiq) A NeoGaf user quoted a Playstation Magazine article that says the game will ditch the store for weapons that upgrade over time, that it will have move support, not be toned down for the casual player, will include a mode that supports up to eight players in it’s new competitive, and cooperative multiplayer,and that the game will be bringing back tons and tons of blood.

Well that’s all for this week. Be sure to check out The Daily DL.com for new episodes of Hey Listen, .info, and AppArcade.

The top stories this week are Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, StarHawk, and Hitman! That’s right it’s time for your weekly wrap up on The Daily DL.com.

Nintendo dropped the price of their console known as the Wii. (Source: Nintendo) Maybe you’ve heard of it. Now you’ll be able to get the soon to be extremely outdated piece of hardware for the low low price of $150 dollars. Be the laugh of the neighborhood when everyone else is getting the Wii 2, and your cheap ass just got an old outdated dust collector. Hey, at least it comes with Mario Kart… and a steering wheel now. Something else you’ll throw away in six months.

Some Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 artwork was leaked onto the net. (Source: HBG)This included box art, a logo, and some kind of elite stamp with a bunch of guns behind it. These new leaked images that Activision refused to comment on are a great time to introduce my new segment.

I’M CALLING IT.

FAKE. There is no way that Activision would release such crap. Especially that Elite stamp. I mean who in their right mind would do that to the Call of Duty logo. It just looks ugly and that’s why I’m calling it. It’s Fake! Nice try Photoshop nerds.

Moving on, it would seem that Kotaku had an exclusive this Friday looking at Modern Warfare 3. (Source: Kotaku) Anyway, you might remember Kotaku as that website you went to before they let a drawing two chimpanzees made in their feces dictate their re-design. They revealed that Modern Warfare 3 will arrive November 8th, 2011 and will find us fighting wars in New York, Paris, and London. Feel free to hop on by Kotaku to see the full story, and thank them for ruining my new segment. Jerks.

Of course the week wouldn’t be complete without talking a little bit about Sony. This week… almost a month after the outage began Sony sent out a nice letter to the companies that lost millions and millions of dollars due to the outage. (Source: DTOID) They said “we’re sorry” and outlined what they’ll be doing to make it all better. Way to be on the ball, and professional guys. Speaking of being on the ball, Bloomberg said that Sony’s goal was to have PSN back up by the 31st which Sony quickly slapped down. (Source: CVG) A conversation took place where a Sony rep said the following. Whoa whoa whoa. We have no fucking clue when the network is going to be back up oh my god why did you say that we’re so fucked I’m going to get fired. Do you know how pissed Capcom why are you writing this down? Then the transcriber stopped writing. So to recap… the consensus is that Sony still sucks. I’ll keep you updated.

Ohh yeah. OKAY to be fair they did reveal Starhawk this week. (Source: IGN) Starhawk is new the cool looking space shooter that is the sequel to the online only Warhawk. I’ve sworn a lot during this show, and I hate using the word awesome, but the best way to describe how Starhawk is looking, is by saying it’s looking FUCKING AWESOME. Now get your damn online fixed Sony so I can play it. Seriously

There were a few other stories this week I feel I need to hit on, but there short updates so lets do them all as fast as possible. It’s afterburner time. 3… 2… 1…

Street Fighter X Tekken will be in stores by 2012 and no one cares, because the much better sequel will follow 6 month’s later.

A new Assassin’s creed game was released further raping Ezio. But Altair will be in it making it worthwhile.

Someone at 1UP got ripped off buying a green ds lite.  In other news, I just made $200 dollars.

Brink came out this week and it sucked… on a planet where an almost 70% average review is SUCKING WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU INTERNET?

Finally, Dark Souls is going to be harder than ever. How hard? Let’s take a look… that boulder killed him that was great and Stop…. decent time, but I think I can do better next week.

finally, my biggest piece of news was all about Hitman. A new Hitman has finally been confirmed after a long wait with an extremely short trailer. The Trailer shows Agent 47 tightining a silencer on his gun, a rattle snake coiling a gun, and a brief glimpse at UPC number. And about that UPC number, I’ve got one more segment for you. I’m callin’ it.

Didn’t see that comin’

So you see a UPC in the new Hitman trailer, you enter it online and guess what. It’s for a dildo bag. (Source: Gamesradar)I did not see that comin’. I wonder what the marketing guys were thinking of. “Hey bob, we need a upc! What Frank? We Need a UPC Bob. Oh yeah, how about this one? Yeah that should work, where did you get it? Oh I just grabbed the first upc I could find on Google. Thanks Frank. People have weird conversations in my head.

Anyway that’s all for this week. I did want to let you know that The Daily DL.com is getting some additional contributors now and holy crap we will soon have content every single day so make sure you’re checking it out. Also, let me know what you think of the new format! Hate it? Love it? Leave a comment and tell me your thoughts.

Until next week, I’m Destin, and that’s a wrap.
