Mmmm. 6.4 million played The Division.

That number should make the boys at Bungie nervous a bit. And put them on notice to up their game (literally) soon.

I'm sure they're gonna watch closely as Destiny 2 is in development now. To be honest there's some things they could learn from GTAOnline as well, but Division really is the closest analogous game to theirs.

The Darkzone (their version) would be fascinating in Destiny context.

Today's News:
1) For those who had problems connecting to Xbox Live the past few days, a hacker group called New World Hackers claimed responsibility for waves of DDoS attacks which went as far as to affect the ability to play offline/single player games. The group claims they did it as a form of protest over the lack of server security by major companies but also hinted at nefarious reasons as well.
http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/dd...nts/1100-5403/

2) SALES & FREEBIES:
3) Ubisoft considering the idea of using The Division as gameplay inspiration for future Assassin Creed games and the new Snowdrop Engine as the basis for it.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...s-creed-games/

4) The developer of Ori and the Blind Forest, Thomas Mahler, recently lashed out at Nintendo for being too secretive in regards to the NX's development and warned it could lead to 3rd parties being less willing to support the platform. His main problems involve the lack of devkits currently available and the rumored mid-to-late 2016 launch date.

All these hacker groups that claim to do these ddos attacks for altruistic reasons are all full of shit. They do it just to make themselves feel important. That's all.

I don't know much about DDoS attacks, but I gather it's when they (somehow) send so much traffic to a website it can't handle it and it crashes. How does this work with a service like Xbox Live? Aren't Xbox's the only thing that connect to it? They surely couldn't simulate millions of different Xbox's connecting at once?

If it's on the internet, anything can connect to it. Even if the connection doesn't do anything, you can still flood it.

Going to assume the same but on a much larger scale since it has to attack a lot of servers at once to cause anything significant to happen. Also going to assume how apps connect or use Live might be the same way hackers are able to attack the service since both are coming from the outside.

Since the Xbox One is a lot more online-oriented than the Xbox 360, makes sense that a DDoS attack would hurt it a lot more. Especially if those same attacks can go as far as making it not possible to launch games without going completely offline.

As predicted, Vivendi is looking to buy more shares in Ubisoft. Definitely going for a takeover.

Yves Guillemot met with Canadian officials to gather support and to look around for some investors.

I didn't catch it in the Direct, but did they say if Sun/Moon are (or are not) coming out for the 3DS? They didn't ambiguously leave the possibility of it coming out on NX or something out there did they?

Is Vivendi still related to Blizzard at all? Or did they "break up" before Blizzard teamed up with Activision

I forget/don't care that much about what billionaires are friends
Vivendi owned both Activision and Blizzard (and Sierra) and ended up selling their shares after they got a new CEO. Now they have a new CEO who wants to buy every Frnch media company ever, apparently.

Yeah, it's 3DS. People are pissed about it because it "won't be as good", but it's goddamn Pokemon, not a technical showpiece.

Don't really care to see a WWI battlefield. Would rather they follow COD's lead and go futuristic. Maybe a sequel to 2142, which is an underappreciated entry in the series.

Today's News:
1) SALES & FREEBIES:
2) According to reports, Vivendi Entertainment has ramped up efforts at a hostile ownership takeover of both Ubisoft and Gameloft to the point Ubisoft has become deeply worried. At the moment, Vivendi currently owns more stock than Ubisoft's founders (15% vs 9%), Ubisoft rejected two recent offers for Gameloft (highest being $663 million), and Ubisoft is scrambling to find new investors to fight off the attempts.
http://www.destructoid.com/ubisoft-p...r-345520.phtml

3) Newest Nintendo NX rumors includes the controller featuring advanced feedback support, console architecture is very close to the PS4 and Xbox One while dev kits allow almost zero work needed for porting games, and is heavily influenced by mobile gaming for social media support.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...le-unexpected/

4) Sony announced they are discontinuing support for the Playstation TV after a little over two years on the market in Japan and a little over a year in the West.

Yep.

How's Playstation Now doing? Did that ever pick up steam? They should just change that over to a year subscription thing or a small add-on fee for PS+ users.

Think they've recently added a lot of games for it but probably like a lot of things with the Playstation name tact on, not doing that well either or else they would have boasted about its success a lot by now.

Think it also lost a lot of luster once Microsoft started their own backwards compatibility-like program for the Xbox One and it being free.

Bleh.

Depending how this unfolds, I may just go back to PC gaming and stay there forever.

Or get one of the good consoles.

PC gaming is in a strange limbo at the moment where requirements are all over the place. Compatibility seems to be having a bad time in the last year too.

Your usage of "good" is subjective. Nothing wrong with the One and I would still, to this day, take it over the PS4 because I couldn't care less if all games are 1080p 60fps and w/e the hell else everyone raves about.

I use it for much more than gaming and it serves very well as a single box with multiple, great usage. More reliable network and better offerings IMO.

It didn't occur to me you already had a One for some reason (my stupidity). I don't think it's an entirely terrible console, I just think it's a dropped ball in a series of dropped balls by MS. The stuff moving to PC as Xbox 'apps' is messy and it's clear they don't want to be in the console business any more but they're married to it.

At first I was all for PS4 when Xbox made their now famous E3 show. Then they backpedaled on some things and won me over.... but it was literally down to the moment I was standing in the store.

I don't regret the decision, but the future as they spelled it out (at least on the Surface) sounds awful.

Think Microsoft had been hinting about wanting to merge PC gaming and console gaming going all the way back with the original Xbox. Could have happened way sooner had they not bungled their "Games for Windows" service multiple times.

To a smaller degree, both Nintendo and Sony have hinted or been trying to merge things together like console and handheld gaming (Nintendo) or expand into more areas (Sony).

The Xbox was Microsoft making a move into the living room. The One was them trying to double down on the TV aspect of it, but it was far too late to the dance when most TVs have built in features, and you can get stuff like Chromecasts for next to nothing.

I don't think this is them merging PC and Console, I think this is them retreating. The fight for the living room is lost, for the foreseeable future.

2) SALES & FREEBIES:
3) EA announced Mass Effect: Andromeda will not arrive this year and instead is currently planned for an early 2017 release.
http://www.destructoid.com/mass-effe...6-345957.phtml

4) EA also announced they will not be investing in Virtual Reality gaming until combined headsets sales starts to reach the 50 million range due to high costs they are estimating for game development ($50-$100 million range).
