After rampant speculation since E3 2016, Microsoft finally lifted the technical curtain on their anticipated new console; Project Scorpio. Packing an unprecedented level of power, the newest addition to the Xbox family will easily out-muscle its competition upon its release later this year. Eurogamer’s Oli Welsh put it nicely in his “Scorpio made simple” rundown of the monster machine. “It’s a far cry from Xbox One, Kinect and TVTVTV. It reminds us of the original Xbox and Xbox 360 – this is Microsoft throwing its considerable engineering resources at making the best possible games-playing machine. Xbox is back.”

After a marketing leak courtesy of your friendly neighborhood Gamestop, Destiny 2 was finally revealed. The most obvious sequel in existence pulled back the curtain on its reimagined story via a cheeky trailer featuring Nathan Fillion’s Cayde 6. With a welcome emphasis on story being a response to much of the criticism of the original, it is fair to wonder what form the sequel will take. Expansions fixed many of the original’s key issues, but the problematic skeleton that turned away millions could not be fully remedied. So what does Destiny 2 have to fix in order to entice burned players back into the fold? Here are three suggestions from a dedicated Guardian.

Breath of the Wild breaks new ground by respecting its players

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a masterpiece. Despite some minor nitpicks and technical issues, the latest entry in Nintendo’s storied franchise has succeeded in revitalizing a tired formula while simultaneously pushing the open-world genre in a bold new direction. Games of this magnitude inevitably cause ripples through the industry, and developers will take notes in an attempt to learn from Breath of the Wild’s successes.

Nintendo’s Amiibo Are Worse Than DLC Season Passes

Nintendo’s Amiibo have been hugely successful since day one, with the game maker raking in tons of cash from these small, plastic collectibles with NFC tags embedded within them. Clearly this benefits Nintendo nicely, but are these figures good for the customer? As it turns out, no — and it may even be worse than downloadable content (DLC).

New Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 Remix Trailer

Just a few days before its release, Square Enix has released the final trailer to their big compilation for the Kingdom Hearts series, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 Remix.

Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 Remix will have most of the games in the entire Kingdom Hearts saga. Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded and Kingdom Hearts 258/2 Days will be in movie form while the rest of it will be its respected games.

 

All of the above will be available in one package in 1080p with 60fps.

Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 Remix will be available exclusively for the PlayStation 4 and will be released on March 23, 2017.

My Opinion:

I wish I could get this right now, but I can’t. I knew that it will take a bit for me to get it, but it might be longer than I wish. I just hope I play this and Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue before Kingdom Hearts III comes out.
