Years ago, gamers saw the biggest wave of leaks through Walmart Canada. It now seems like there is a new champion in town. The Microsoft Store has already leaked screenshots, trailers, and release dates for multiple new games including Crysis Remake, Mafia Remake Trilogy, Star Wars Squadrons and more. Just an hour ago, Microsoft made another leak come true.
We now know that Yakuza Like A Dragon will be releasing on November 12/13th, depending on your region. Multiple users on twitter pointed out that Microsoft accidentally put up a store page for Yakuza Like A Dragon which included the unannounced release date. You can press HERE to directly go to the page.

Yakuza Like A Dragon did put out a trailer earlier in the day. (This one was on purpose, not accidental).
This next part is speculation of course, but is it crazy to believe that the Xbox Series X will be releasing at sometime between November 11th-19th? Xbox has the marketing rights to Assassins Creed Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077, and Yakuza Like A Dragon which all come out during that time frame. Throw in Halo Infinite and another smaller exclusive and you have a pretty solid group of games to play at launch.
Update 7/1/20: Crytek has confirmed that a Nintendo Switch version will be coming. On top of that, they are delaying the official reveal and release date. Here is the statement they released.
A few months ago, everyone was excited to find out that a Crysis Remastered was in development. Crysis has always been a series that has pushed the boundaries of video game graphics. Knowing that a fan-favorite series would return in the form of a remaster was great news because if it sells well, that means that Crysis 4 would have to come. Unfortunately, after some leaks, it does not seem like Crysis Remastered will be pushing any boundaries with it graphics. However, let us dive right into these leaks.

Thanks to Microsoft, we now have access to Crysis Remastered’s trailer, screenshots, and of course its release date. You could argue that it’s just a place holder, but the last two times that Microsoft leaked games, they were accurate (Mafia: Trilogy and Star Wars Squadrons).

Crysis Remastered will be releasing on July 23rd of 2020. We also know that it will have a 7.01 GB download size. The description says the following:
“The classic first person shooter from Crytek is back with the action-packed gameplay, sandbox world, and thrilling epic battles you loved the first time around – now with remastered graphics optimized for a new generation of hardware.

As you can see by the screenshots, the graphics aren’t anything to write home about. However, what about some game-play? Well here is Crysis Remastered in real-time during its trailer which was recorded off of a PC meaning the graphics may be a step down if your planning to play this on consoles.

Spoilers for The Last of Us, The Last of Us Part II and The Walking Dead Ahead:
When I experienced The Last of Us in 2014, I experienced a roller coaster of emotions. The introduction scene set the tone of the game by letting the player know they were going to be emotionally devastated by the end of their journey. Tess, Henry, and Sam all died in different but sad ways. However, by the end of your journey, Joel shows that the only thing the mattered to him was saving Ellie and you have a sense of hope as they approach their new lives in Jackson together.
Before diving into the story of The Last of Us Part II, I want to discuss what I thought about the other parts of the game. The animations were the best I have ever seen in a video game. The graphics would be the best I have seen this generation if I had the option to turn off the film grain. The soundtrack was just as amazing as the first game’s score. The acting was top of the line with a stellar cast. Majority of the flashbacks are excellent and give time to characters that didn’t get as much time as they deserved. Exploration around the world was rewarded with interesting dialogue, easter eggs, and even a few hidden cut scenes. I did feel like the safes that could be unlocked through out the game were way to similar. The only exception to that was for one of the safes, you have to break open a vending machine to find an extra soda that has a clue on it. My one other grievance with the game is that I wish we saw less time in Seattle. Don’t get me wrong, Seattle looks incredible but I think spending over half the game in one city is a little bit to much. I think the journey to Seattle and/or Santa Barbra deserved more time. I also feel just a little more time in Jackson could have benefited newer players so they could bond with Joel a little bit more.

The Last of Us Part II starts off with Joel telling his brother Tommy about what really happened to his former group who went by the fireflies (Joel killed them all because they wanted to kill Ellie to find a cure since she was immune). When Tommy gets back to Jackson, he tells Joel that he will bring what they talked about to the grave because he knows that Joel just wants to move on from what happened at the end of the first installment.
For the next section of the game, the player switches between playing as Ellie and Abby. Ellie shows a day in the life of a typical able body person in Jackson. Through Ellie we meet both Dina and Jessie who later become essential characters to the story. Unfortunately we don’t see this side of life as long as I wished we would have. The player spends about 15 minutes exploring Jackson before heading off on a patrol. When we switch protagonists, Abby reveals that her group is searching for a male that lives in Jackson (later revealed to be Tommy so they could eventually find Joel). Luckily for them, Abby runs right into the two of them when she is being chased by a horde. What are the odds of that! After Abby, Joel and Tommy all work together to temporarily escape the horde, they decide that they will go to Abby’s camp because they won’t be able to make it back to Jackson in time. As many of you know because of leaked game-play that came out months before launch, Ellie gets to the house just in time to watch Abby execute Joel with a golf club.
This scene hurt me. I replayed The Last of Us right before the launch of its sequel to get reinvested in all of the characters. I remembered how good the relationship that Ellie and Joel had in the first game. It was ripped away before I even got the chance for their relationship to grow again. The worst part about it all is that like many, I knew this scene was going to happen but it still hurt. When The Last of Us Part II leaked, I tried to avoid it. Unfortunately the twitter trolls were to strong. It only took two days until an Abby meme showed up on a thread that was about universal basic income (absolutely nothing related to gaming). However, when the cast and critics of the game started to say that the leaks weren’t telling the full story, it really got my brain moving. I went back to old trailers and saw clips of an older Joel in scenes that would have to happen later in the story. I had theories where maybe Joel some how survived but unfortunately those were incorrect. In the end, the two times we see Joel in the trailer were there to throw us off. The one scene is swapped over to Jessie in the main game. The location and lines stay the same.
The other scene was when Joel rides to St. Mary after Ellie sneaks out in the middle of the night to go there. In the trailer, we see a Joel who looks like the older Joel we see in the first bit of the game. The version we see in the full release of the game looks a lot more like the younger Joel we all know and love from the original game. There is also the fact that Abby is barely seen in any of the trailers. We see her in one promo and that is it. There is never any mention of the fact that you will play half the game as her.
Could have Naughty Dog done this on purpose just to deceive people? Probably. Could have Naughty Dog had a different vision for the game originally and changed it? Also possible. If you look at the art work from the “extras” screen in-game, we see Ellie at locations such as the hospital basement (during the epic boss fight we do as Abby, not from the Nora chase) and the island during the WLF invasion. During an interview in Indiewire.com, it was confirmed that in a previous version of the game, Ellie did travel to the island but we have no idea if you would have still played as Abby in that version of the game.
I struggled with playing as Abby originally. You take a good six hour break from being Abby and then you are brought right back to her after she shoots Jesse and holds Ellie and Tommy at gun point. The flashback of her at the zoo showing her dad save the zebra (my favorite animal) made me feel partially bad for what Joel took from her. Abby’s dad seemed like a guy who just wanted to have the world go back to normal no matter the cost. Those feelings go away once you start playing as Seattle as Abby and Joel’s death is brought back up. There are moments during day 1 of Abby that I enjoy like when Mel’s dog is a complete bad ass and the fact that we can see the Washington Liberation Front from a different perspective (they aren’t the one sided bad guys that Ellie’s point of view makes them out to be). But it takes me until the middle of day 2 to actually start to care about Abby as a character. Abby spends a lot of time bonding with Lev and has some of the best set pieces of the entire game during these two days. But that eventually ends and you go right back to the moment where Jesse was shot. They put this scene right after Abby finds out that Ellie killed Owen, a pregnant Mel, and her dog (in self defense). I feel the need to add that the dog’s death hurt so much more then Owen and Mel dying. Not that I didn’t care about either of their characters. I just had problems with things that both of them do as we play as Abby while the dog is perfect. Anyway, Naughty Dog obviously wants the player to be mad at Ellie at this point of the game but it feels so out of place trying to kill Ellie as Abby after you watch her shoot Tommy in the head (a character we have known since the original game!). I am prompted on screen to spam buttons to punch Ellie but I obviously don’t have any interest in wanting to see Ellie die. Abby was ready to kill a pregnant Dina but is thankfully stopped by Lev. This is now the second time that Abby has left Ellie to live after killing one of her friends right in front of her.

The game then fast forwards to farm life. Ellie and Dina live on a farm on the outskirts of Jackson. Dina has had her child and names him JJ after Jesse. Things seem happy and it appears like Ellie has finally moved on but during an accident while herding the sheep, Ellie sees Joel’s smashed face in her head. Ellie hasn’t been eating or sleeping much and can not stop thinking about Joel. We get our last happy moment of the game when it is revealed that Tommy survived his shot to the head. Things however go downhill from there. Tommy is blind in one eye, struggles to walk without a limp, and is taking a break with his wife, Maria. Tommy has a lead on Abby’s location (even though it is a complete long shot, which foils pretty well with Abby from the start of the game where she had a lead on Joel). Tommy goes off on Ellie when Dina doesn’t want Ellie going on this search similar to how Ellie acted to Tommy at the start of the game as well. Ellie leaves in the night against Dina’s wishes which also foils with Tommy’s situation from the start of the game.
I had some hope brought back into me during this part of the game. We were finally back as Ellie and I was expecting to be able to experience her journey across a few states. Unfortunately, just like Ellie and Dina’s trip to Seattle, its a time skip. Reading Ellie’s journal talks about passing places like Las Vegas which I thought could have been super interesting. I would have preferred to have more locations on the journey to Seattle and Santa Barbra rather then playing those three days in Seattle as Abby. I think the story of Abby’s point of view could have worked better as a DLC or a standalone expansion similar to Uncharted Lost Legacy.
Ellie finally finds a weakened Abby and Lev who were both captured by slavers after they tried to find the newly formed fireflies. However, Ellie isn’t in the best shape after getting impaled by a tree branch when she gets stuck in a trap. Ellie does some bad ass stuff to escape the trap by throwing one of the slavers into a trapped infected and then shoots the other. When the other slaver sees the Ellie was bit, he tells her what direction to head. Ellie eventually frees the other slaves who tell her Abby was sent to the beach pillars after trying to escape. After Ellie cuts her down, Abby has no interest in fighting Ellie and just wants to leave with Lev. Ellie eventually gets her to fight with her after threatening Lev. Ellie gets two of fingers bitten off but had Abby at her mercy in the ocean waves. Ellie remembers her last conversation with Joel and decides to let Abby leave. The only thing I can compare this to was Rick letting Negan survive during The Walking Dead because of a conversation he had with his son Carl who had passed away earlier in the show. It is worth mentioning, that during the interview mentioned earlier, Neil Druckmann confirmed that the original ending of the game had Ellie killing Abby during their final fight.
Ellie returns back to the farmhouse to find it abandoned. Ellie goes to her art room to find all of her belongings inside. Ellie picks up her guitar and tries to play it but messes up on a few notes because she is missing two of her fingers.
Credit: Naughty Dog
The way that I have decided to look at the ending is this: Ellie is on the verge of having her biggest fear become reality. Being alone. Everyone she has ever cared about has either died or left her. We see Ellie put the guitar down and leave the house. Ellie could be going anywhere but I am going to assume that she is going back to Jackson to win Dina back. I want to assume that Ellie is finally at peace with Joel’s death since she let Abby go but who knows. They leave the ending open to interpret. The ending left me wanting more and I felt empty on the inside. Could you imagine any other story where the main theme is revenge, not ending with vengeance? I get that Naughty Dog wanted to do something different and they wanted to break the cycle of revenge but I would have honestly preferred for Abby and Ellie to kill each other on the beach rather then the ending we got. Abby and Lev are on their way now to join the fireflies. I can’t stop to think about all of the WLF npcs who were killed along the way who were essentially innocent. All of them died because of what Abby did to Joel but she gets off the hook? What about all the WLF members that Abby herself killed when she was protecting Lev on the island? I mean that was worse then Joel killing a bunch of strangers he never met to save Ellie since he at least knew Ellie for more then a day and a half. The only way I can look at this ending and be satisfied is the fact that Abby lost everyone that was close to her besides Lev. I really wish Tommy didn’t pressure Ellie to follow the lead about Abby being in Santa Barbra. If she didn’t go there, Abby would have died on that pillar judging off the bodies that we see rotting away next to her.
To summarize my opinion on the game. Everything was amazing besides the writing. I see what Naughty Dog was going for and a lot of people will enjoy what they did with the story but I personally couldn’t enjoy the second half as the game as much as the first. I struggled to relate with Abby and rooted against her while playing as her which threw things off. In my eyes, this game is a 7/10 if you played The Last of Us Part I. If you are someone who hasn’t gotten the chance to bond with Joel and Ellie, you will enjoy this game a lot more.
Mike from TGP will also be writing an article giving his thoughts on the ending sometime this week but based off conversations I have had with him, I know we agree that the ending left a bad taste in both of our mouths.
Electronic Arts has had a wild ride with the Star Wars license. There have been way to many canceled games and a lot of controversy. However, Electronic Arts seems like they are finally turning things around. Battlefront 2 actually ended as a good game but it left many fans wanting more since a lot of characters and maps never came to the game. Fallen Order was a huge success and proved that single player games can still make money. We know that Fallen Order has a sequel on the way but another Star Wars game just got even more of a confirmation.

A few months ago, the PlayStation store leaked an image for a game showing Star Wars Maverick. Judging off the artwork and some information from insiders, fans were able to determine that it was going to be some sort of space pilot simulation game. Today, Xbox leaked artwork for a Star Wars game called Squadrons which is what Maverick turned into. Insider Jeff Grubb went on twitter to confirm a few more details about Squadrons.
Squadrons will feature a few hour long single player campaign
Squadrons will have a huge focus on multiplayer space combat
Squadrons will be made by EA Motive which is the team behind Battlefront II’s single player campaign
Squadrons will release on consoles and PC this fall
Squadrons should have a trailer with game play on June 18th at the EA Play event
The last Battlefield game set during the modern day time period was Battlefield Hardline back in March of 2015. Even that was hardly a modern day shooter considering the fact that it was basically cops vs robbers. After Battlefield games set in WWI and WWII, many fans have been begging for their games to return to present time period. It looks like that wish is going to be granted.
Back in May of 2020, an insider named Tom Henderson, who was accurate on leaks around Call of Duty Modern Warfare mentioned that Battlefield fans would be happy with the setting of the next game in a response to someone who wanted things to go back to a modern day scenario. Tom also confirmed that he was not talking about a remaster but the next main game in the series.
However, his tweets went under the radar, and not many other people in the industry confirmed or denied what he said. That all changed today. The man, the myth, and the legend confirmed it. That is right, Jeff Grubb saw a tweet that was linking a resetera.com article which mentioned the original tweets. Jeff’s response was three letters and a period. “Yup.”
We are personally hoping for Battlefield Bad Company 3 set during the modern day but just a simple Battlefield 6 set in the Middle East is perfectly okay with us. We expect that we will get some sort of update on Battlefield directly from EA at their EA Play Live on June 18th.
Remember back in January when we all expected to be seeing the PlayStation 5 get revealed in February? That date got pushed back so many times until we finally had an official date being June 4th. However, that got delayed in support for the Black Lives Matter protests. We now have the new date after it got leaked on a Twitch ad. We are also going to be going over some additional information on the games to expect at the show after a new leak came out.
As you were probably able to tell by the cover photo, the official PS5 reveal event date will be June 11th at 4 pm Eastern Standard Time. This photo was confirmed as an authentic ad by Daniel Ahmad.
As far as what games we should expect at the show, a new leak emerged from Game Reactor confirming a few of them.
Demon Souls Remake is real, and being made by Bluepoint Games who remade titles like God of War Collection, Shadow of The Colossus and more. He says it’s coming for PS5 and that “you can’t compare it to what they did with SOTC” because it’s a supposedly a way bigger project. Says it’ll be showed off during the PS5 State of Play.

Horizon Zero Dawn 2 will be revealed at the PS5 event. Doesn’t seem to have any new info besides to expect game play and a release date.

Resident Evil 8 started out as a spin-off, but quickly evolved into a mainline entry. Confirms the whole village-setting, and says the game will be released early 2021. “Thinks” they’ll show it off soon, either at the Sony event or at a Resident Evil exclusive event later in June.

Housemarque (Resogun, Stormdivers) is a finish game studio that’s now pretty much a part of Sony. They’re working on some new unannounced AAA title for the PS5.

Silent Hill is real as well, and confirms it’ll be shown off around the same time as Resident Evil 8. Says when Konami tried to put off the rumors back in march, they lied. Says it’s pretty far along in development and to expect it at the Sony event.

We can not wait to see what other surprises Sony has in store on June 11th!
Most of us have very fond memories from our time playing The Last of Us either on PS3, PS4 or PC using PS Now. There were also plenty of people who started watching The Last of Us on YouTube but stopped immediately after seeing the introduction scene to the game, knowing that this was something that they needed to play. Some people even went out and bought a PlayStation just for this game after seeing the introduction on YouTube. I was part of that last group. In honor of the The Last of Us Part II’s upcoming release, I am going to be giving a deep dive on the scene that set the tone for the rest of the game.
Spoiler Warning!
The Last of Us opens up with the “protagonist” Sarah sleeping on the couch waiting for her father, Joel, to get back from work. Joel enters the house, ends a stressful work related call with his brother Tommy and sits on the couch next to Sarah. It is then revealed by Sarah that is it Joel’s birthday and she was waiting for him so she could give him his present. Sarah gifts him a watch that he will end up keeping for the rest of his life. They exchange some banter and eventually Sarah is carried up to her bedroom.

Sarah wakes up to a phone call from a frantic Uncle Tommy at around two in the morning. Tommy has been trying to reach his brother but has not been able to get in contact with him. The phone then disconnects. If you try and call him back, you get zero luck. The player now has complete control over Sarah as she explores her house. In Sarah’s bedroom, you are able to interact with a birthday card that was meant for Joel.
Credit: Naughty Dog
Sarah mentions that he is the best dad even though he is never home. I am going to make the assumption that Joel got a divorce with his wife since he never mentions her throughout the rest of the story. Joel does later bring up people who he was closed to who had passed away so I am assuming he would have brought up his wife if she had passed away. I also don’t think Joel would have bought that large of a house if he knew that he would need to work double shifts all the time to afford it. If you enter the bathroom, Sarah picks up a newspaper that mentions a ton of infected people going to a hospital that we see later on in the chapter. Sarah can now walk into Joel’s empty room. On his television, you can watch the scene of a gas line blowing up a building as police and a reporter run for their lives. At the same time, you see the explosion go off downtown by looking out your window. We can assume this is when Joel puts his phone down and heads outside to investigate. As you walk down the stairs, you see multiple cop cars drive by with their sirens on. If you pick up Joel’s phone, you see multiple phone calls from Tommy. When you walk into Joel’s office area, he bursts into the house in a panicked state as he loads up his gun. Joel warns you to stay away from the glass door when your infected neighbor breaks through it. Joel warns him to stay back multiple times before shooting him. Tommy lights up the house with his truck’s headlights and they both run outside to flee the neighborhood.
Sarah watches the chaos unfold in her home town as she sits in the backseat of Tommy’s truck. As they drive through the town, they pass crashed cars and more explosions. They eventually pass a group of people with a kid walking on the road who Tommy wants to pick up. However, Joel makes him pass right by them saying that another car will drive by and that they have a kid that they have to protect as well. They eventually get to the to the way out of town which is backed up all the way to the hospital that was mentioned earlier. A person exits their car to see why they aren’t moving and is attacked by infected. Tommy watches in disbelieve as Joel yells at him to drive in reverse. Tommy finally makes a K turn as the infected start coming for his car. They drive down the road eventually making a left to try to cut through the town. People are running in the street but there is a giant truck blocking the road so they can’t see what they are running from. They eventually have an opening and with a move out of desperation, Tommy drives through but is hit by another truck when they cross the intersection.

The player now switches to Joel as he carries an injured Sarah through the town with Tommy protecting them. As you flee for your live, you see first hand how tense things are with people dying all around you. A gas station blows up causing you to cut through an alley. Tommy saves you from a few infected as you finally get to safety in a building. However, with the infected pushing on the door, Tommy tells Joel to run and that he will buy them some time. Tommy says that he can outrun the horde and that they will meet back up at the highway entrance. Joel carrying Sarah runs for their lives with infected in close pursuit. If you haven’t ever experienced this scene, I am going to recommend you to pick up your controller and play it now or to watch it here if you have zero interest in playing the game. My words can not give justice to this scene.
A cut scene now plays as a soldier shoots the infected saving Joel and Sarah. Joel asks the soldier for medical assistance while Sarah is worried for Uncle Tommy. Unfortunately, the soldier gets the order on the radio that all fans know to well. As the solider protests his orders, Joel’s hope immediately diminishes and turns into fear. The soldier raises his gun and opens fire. Joel turns trying to shield Sarah with his own body and they roll down into a ditch. As the soldier goes to execute Joel, Tommy comes and shoots the soldier saving Joel’s life. We now hear the whimpers of Sarah. Joel and Tommy both run over to her seeing that she has been shot in the chest. The whimpers continue for the longest fifteen seconds that I have ever experienced. Sarah passes away in Joel’s arms.
In the matter of a twenty minute introduction scene, we have experienced so much happiness and sadness. From the couch scene to Sarah’s final breath, we now know what tone Naughty Dog is setting for the rest of the game. We know that there will be plenty of smiles but also plenty of times where we genuinely feel upset for a person that doesn’t even actually exist. We can only hope that Naughty Dog gives us the same quality with The Last of Us Part II.
Back in October of 2019, EA had started the process of bringing some of their games back to Valve’s Steam. However, today we got some updates on when you should expect the rest of EA’s games to make the leap of faith. On Steam itself, you can see the “EA Access…coming soon to Steam” artwork on EA store listings.
Furthermore, Venture Beat’s Jeff Grubb confirmed that other games will be making their way to the platform in waves including Apex Legends, Battlefield V, Sims 4, and Titanfall 2. Jeff said this on the matter, “EA is planning further waves of game drops on Steam in the coming days and weeks. Expect Battlefield games to hit around the time of EA Play on June 11. Sims 4 will come a week later.”
Update 4: We have published what we want and don’t want to see in Cold War. Click HERE to give it a read and to share your own opinions.
Update 3: Information about the beta including the day you can play it has leaked. Read more HERE.
Update 2: I have added the game play using a link from another site. This one should stay up longer then the twitter links. Click HERE.
Update: After about twelve hours, the footage has been taken down by Activison.
A few weeks ago, it was confirmed by many in the community that the next Call of Duty game would be a soft reboot of the Black Ops series set in the Cold War. Today, a twitter user by the name of @walshburg showed off what he is claiming to be pre-alpha footage of the game. Activision has been taking down the footage so we don’t know how long this will stay up. However, if they are taking the videos down, that means there is some truth to it.
Some additional information shared by him are the following details:
The map was called “Tanks”
It could very well just be a placeholder
Graphics don’t represent what the final project will look like since it is pre-alpha footage
Its using a version of the BO3/BO4 engine
No dead silence currently
No sliding currently
A few other insiders confirmed that they saw 45 minutes of game-play
While Microsoft has been tight lipped regarding new information about Halo Infinite, we have known for a while that more information would be coming at their July showcase. However, we now know more thanks to a popular leaker in the Funko Pop! community. This is your minor spoiler warning. The leaker who goes by the name @anerdydad has a perfect record in the past with leaking characters/devices from Avengers Infinity War, Avengers End Game, Star Wars The Mandalorian, and most recently a possible enemy for the new Marvel Eternals. The three items that have leaked are Master Chief, Mark VII, and then an alternative Mark VII withVakara. Lets dive into what we think these items are.
The first one is Master Chief. There is no explanation needed for this one so lets keep on going.
The second listing is for Mark VII. We are assuming this could be a multiplayer spartan.
The third listing includes Mark VII but also something/someone called Vakara. We have a few theories regarding this one. The most logical option is that its some sort of weapon. Another option is that its an AI fragment that is similar to Cortana.
We can’t confirm any of these until either more footage releases in July or if another leak happens sooner with images. What ever option it is, things will be getting crazy for Halo fans during the next few weeks.
