Sony pushes Ghost of Tsushima back to July 17th.
BUT...... The Last of Us 2 is back on track. That gets released June 19th. Nice 1-2 punch for Sony this Summer. |

* Apparently gameplay footage and the entire story of Last of Us 2 got spoiled online which was why it was also trending high on Twitter. Supposedly some have been spoiling the game as revenge for what they claim is just a game with a SJW agenda and/or being too political aka exposes their own bigoted views on social issues.
* Despite E3 not taking place this year, PC Game announced that they will be still holding their E3 press conference event on June 6th. https://www.pcgamer.com/the-pc-gamin...return-june-6/ * Update to Nintendo suffering a major hacking attack news as the company recently confirmed around 160k Nintendo Network accounts were compromised and recommend all account members to enable 2-factor authentication and reset their passwords. In terms of what was compromised, personal info was confirmed to have been affected but not financial-related info. https://www.destructoid.com/nintendo...w-588021.phtml |

I've been hearing that the leak was internal protest of work conditions which were widely reported about a year ago. If some anti-progressive troll wanted to deal a blow to production I'm not sure even they'd be able to get their hands on such sensitive footage straight from the source.

Reaaaaaaaaaaalllly hope that they shake it up a bit with this one. I have the exact same issue as you. The last game I played through was Origins, which was cool, especially when you got to the world bosses, or whatever they were called. I have Odyssey, but I've put less than 4 hours into the game. It seems like it will be really good, but was like a copy and paste of Odyssey. I love Viking lore and the setting has me interested. They need to tone it down and mix it up a bit. It'd be kinda cool if they introduced some co-op missions for "Viking Raids" or something similar. |

* Microsoft announced their next Inside Xbox episode stream will be taking place on May 7th and will feature gameplay footage for Xbox Series X games currently in development. Also confirmed the new Assassin's Creed game, AC: Valhalla, will be among the stuff shown.
https://twitter.com/Xbox/status/1255889762864361472 * Game Developers Conference reportedly changed their plans again for this year's GDC expo. Instead of being a physical event from August 4-6, it will now be an all-digital event taking place on those days. https://www.destructoid.com/gdc-summ...l-588744.phtml * Unlike others still planning to hold their E3 press conferences in digital form, Nintendo recently announced they will not be doing so for their Nintendo Direct E3 conference. Official reason due to coronavirus-related issues causing serious work problems for the company in Japan. https://www.destructoid.com/nintendo...s-588697.phtml |

Update to the recent Last of Us II story spoiling leaks news as Sony announced they have discovered who were the main sources of the leaks and none were people who worked for them or Naughty Dog.
Would confirm what former Kotaku reporter Jason Schreier heard from his sources within Naughty Dog that this unlikely was an act of revenge by a former disgruntled employee. Quote:

Sony who's filing false DMCA's all over YouTube? Who thinks we don't know off-site dev work would have a wayer mark and other protections for everything other than jpeg design art?
There's no way in hell, based on how leaks happen like this for decades, that this wasn't internal. No way in hell. Or at least - we'd hear about a hacking/data breach days or weeks before, which we haven't. What we have heard is there work conditions, partly reported by Jason himself, prior to all this mess. |

Considering all the working from home going on, this specific event could very easily be a hack and one they wouldn't want to publicize. If they are working on this project from their homes then they are probably transferring the current build of the game back and forth between multiple locations regularly and it could have rather easily been "leeched" by a third party during the transfer. Don't think they would want to publicize something like that though because then more people would probably try and steal the info as well. I'm just speculating though but I am 100% sure that remote working is going to lead to a lot more hacks and stolen data in the overall scheme of things at least until some more advanced security systems are fleshed out.

Also wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that it was a devs family member, probably some teenager sitting at home bored out of their mind, who stole their parents work and released it online for shits and giggles.

Apparently it was a security exploit in one of their other games that allowed someone to access their servers. They then proceeded to download what seems to be video files of internal playtesting. The game in question was patched last week to remove said exploit.

Nintendo also reportedly told other devs involved they don't have to wait for the Direct and can release their Switch-related E3 news whenever they want. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...adcast-in-june * According to a report from VGC, Microsoft is currently facing a class-action lawsuit in regards to allegations that the company has been purposely negligent with their handling and fixing of the drifting issues present with their Xbox Elite Controller series. https://www.videogameschronicle.com/...g-controllers/ https://www.destructoid.com/xbox-fac...s-589758.phtml |

Because ND wouldn't suddenly be that sloppy in that fashion. I don't think they're even using the same engine it's absurd that mining a years old game would reveal anything about the next one, 3rd party server or no.

That's assuming they had an dedicated server for one game. Usually never the case, probably even more so now with shit going on and expenditures being cut.
This is a failure on AWS for having shitty security and not patching a known exploit on their specific server setups. Period. |

* According to a couple of industry analysts, next gen console prices are currently speculated to be around $400 for Xbox Series X and around $500 for the PS5 under the assumption Microsoft will be undercutting Sony's price. If so, the same analysts also believe Microsoft will be eating that as a loss for at least the first 10 million Series X sales.

That first story is funny if only because Sony has been playing the wait and see game so far in regards to the consoles. I don't see either console going down to 400 though. Xbox especially would have to eat a major loss and considering they are only really popular in the US and Sony kills them on a worldwide basis, they'd be eating shit for awhile. Sony can afford to take that kind of loss because their system is probably going to be slightly cheaper to produce as is and they will move more consoles worldwide.
