Respawn’s “Titanfall” outed

TitanfallJust days before E3, the first title from Respawn Entertainment has been outed by the leaked GameInformer cover.  Titled Titanfall, the game is supposedly coming only to Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC.  There were rumors floating around that the game would be an Xbox console exclusive, and those appear to be true.  The game will be multiplayer-focused with the Xbox One version heavily utilizing the power of the cloud (one of the things Microsoft was touting for its next-gen console); the Xbox 360 version is being outsourced to a different studio.  I’m sure we’ll learn more about this game in just a few days when E3 is upon us.

Halo: Spartan Assault coming to Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 in July

A new entry in the Halo franchise is heading to PC and Microsoft’s mobile platforms this July.  It’s a top-down shooter and takes place between Halo 3 and Halo 4.  Trailer below:

Kiefer Sutherland confirmed as Big Boss

PhantomPain

Metal Gear Solid‘s long-time voice of Snake, David Hayter, will not be returning to voice the iconic game character in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.  It has been confirmed that 24‘s Kiefer Sutherland will be taking over the role.  Series director Hideo Kojima has stated that he wants to take a new direction with this character and when confirming Sutherland as the new actor stated, “The game takes place in 1984 when Snake is 49 years old. Therefore, we needed someone who could genuinely convey both the facial and vocal qualities of a man in his late 40s. It’s different from anything we’ve done before.”  Apparently Hayter’s tried and true rendition of Snake wasn’t sufficient for them.

And we’re back!

I want to apologize for that posting break.  It was undesirably long but entirely necessary.  I’ve been working on getting some things in my personal life straightened out (mainly living and financial stuffs), so I’ve been away and unavailable for the past two weeks.  I’m slowly but surely getting things in order, so hopefully there won’t be as many long pauses between updates and I’ll be able to get all the latest and greatest entertainment news up for you to view.  I really do appreciate all of my readers and their support, so stick around and I’ll try my best not to disappoint you!

 

Much thanks,
