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.

Top stories this week include Sony updates, how Microsoft managed to screw up, and yes… there may be leaked footage of the Wii2… or Proejct Cafe… or whatever the hell they’re calling it. For The Daily DL I’m Destin and this is the Weekly Wrap Up.

Lets get the Sony update out of the way because frankly. I’m sick of talking about it. (Source: Playstation Blog) As you may know The Playstation Network is back online after nearly three weeks of being down. Thank god. Players will get a ton of free crap for the inconvenience including a bunch of stuff they already own or don’t want. Sweet… for the US. Japan however will not be having a PSN relaunch as the government has not approved Sony’s plan to bring PSN back up for them. (Source) Hackers have also continued attacking the company, exploiting the password reset system for the Playstation Network which Sony quickly caught. The hackers still managed to steal about a thousand dollars worth of virtual currency from one of Sony’s other services though. Well hackers, good job on the 1,000 virtual dollars. Oh and on the behalf of Sony and PSN users who just want things to go back to normal I think I’d just like to say. FUCK OFF.

Not to be outdone by Sony, Microsoft decided to have an incredibly embarrassing mistake of their own. (Source: Eurogamer) A recent firmware update to all 360′s caused some of the older models to stop working properly. The broken consoles couldn’t read games. The reason this is the best update ever is because Microsoft made it more like winning the lottery. Anyone affected by the bug will get a free 250 gb Slim X-Box 360 to replace the one affected by the problem. Now that’s how you phase out an old model. Originally when I read this I just read the part about them giving away slim consoles for broken 360′s. In other news, I have a broken 360 for sale that I ran over with my car.

Nintendo wasn’t in the news because any of their stuff broke, but because someone may have leaked footage of the Wii2… or whatever the hell they’re calling it. (Source: YouTube) Lets take a look at the footage in a little segment named… I’m calling it. Legit. The mere fact that the guy looks like he’s about ready to pee in his pants while recording this thing has me leaning toward the fact that the video is real. Granted we don’t see much, the controller looks about as described, and the console seems real enough. The only reason it might be fake is because Nintendo hasn’t ripped down this episode of the show for showing the footage. [test bars] That’s been happening a lot lately.

Speaking of leaked video, shaky cam footage of Soul Calibur V has hit the internet. (Source: GamingEverything) Lets take a look at it and… yep…. you can’t make out a damn thing. Soul Calibur V will be shown at E3 in a few weeks where I’ll be sure to get some even crappier footage to share with all of you.

Man I could do a whole episode about leaks this week. It seems that Bungie has a trademark for something called Destiny that someone found a trademark for. (Source: HBO) The name is the same one that an ex-Bungie contractor told Kotaku was being developed as a First Person MMO shooter with sci-fi elements. This supposed trademark describes the game as downloadable from a global computer network. One Bungie employee was even spotted in a Penny Arcade video wearing a shirt with exact logos from the trademark. A second trademark called “Be Brave” was also found with wording nearly identical to the one for Destiny. Lets see what the stars of Halo have to say about this. Yeah I know Microsoft owns you now, so I don’t think you guys have anything to worry about.

Well that’s almost everything, so lets try to beat my time from last week, and run down all the stuff you may have missed in the Afterburner segment. 3… 2… 1…

An image of Final Fantasy Type-0 was leaked andddd I’m probably not supposed to be showing this right now. I guess I should have shown the 20 minutes of leaked footage S@G didn’t put scan and put an ugly ass logo on. (Source: CVG)

No More Heroes Paradise will be coming to the Playstation on August 16th. Out of the 6 people who haven’t played the game yet 4 are expected to buy it. (Source: Press Release)

Valve will not be at E3 this year. No one really cares seeing they probably didn’t have Episode 3 done. (Source: Press Release)

A Carmageddon website is counting down to something according to reports around the internet. (Source: DTOID) My guess? Carmageddon. Or the worst ad campaign Ford has ever come up with.

According to the games director, Batman Arkham City will take 25 hours to complete and have 40 hours of content. (Source: DTOID) Completely unrealistic. Batman could NOT growl that long without losing his voice.

Last one, Mass Effect 2 fans can now get access to the comic on their PC and 360′s that was previously only available on the PS3. (Source: Joystiq) Sweet, now the only people who can’t download stuff for Mass Effect 2 are people who own a PS3. and stop. Not bad, not bad.

Moving on, lets take a look at our final story about Portal 2, which is apparently offensive to at least one man who has an adopted daughter. (Source: DTOID) A perfect subject for the.. didn’t see that coming segment. A piss poor excuse for a news network interviewed a man who is extremely upset about one line in the game. Lets take a quick listen to what he has to say. and now, lets listen to the COMPLETE line from the game. Wow I did not see that coming. A news network that doesn’t do their research and does a controversial story to gain hits? What a surprise. How could I have predicted that reputable a station like WBTV would put their best reporters on this piss poor excuse of journalism. Stop. As in, stop reporting the news douche bags.

Well that’s all for this week. As always be sure to check out The Daily DL.com to see all of our new contributors, more of which we’ll be revealing next week with more on the way, you can also catch up on the news of old, or just head over there to tell me that I’m fat and ugly.

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