Battlefield Battlelog announces Monday is when Battlefield Hardline
Premium members can expect the version 1.03 patch for the Windows version of the
law enforcement shooter (thanks
MP1st). This adds the Criminal Activity DLC that was scheduled for release
earlier this week, and they promise a free Battlepack will be automatically
delivered in the future to all those impacted by the delay. Word is:
Until Patch 1.03 is released on Monday, some features on Battlefield
Hardline PC Battlelog have limited or no functionality, including:
- Quickmatch
- Loadouts (can still be accessed via in-game menus)
- Battlepacks page (can still be accessed via
in-game menus)
In the meantime, base game Maps and Modes can still be played. You can still
download the current patch on PC which gives Battlefield Hardline Premium
members access to the new Battlefield Hardline: Criminal Activity Weapons and
Gadgets. However, they will not have access to the new Maps and Modes on PC
until Patch 1.03 is fully released on Monday.
The Heroes of the
Storm website announces that Blizzard plans to open a public test realm
for their MOBA next week to help vet the content in The Eternal Conflict update.
They provide a FAQ on the process, and the following overview: The
Eternal Conflict will invade the Nexus with our next patch, and we’d like to
request your assistance in testing some of the new content and changes it
contains before the update arrives on June 30. In order to do this, we’re going
to open a Public Test Realm, starting on Tuesday, June 23.
We know many of you will be excited to dive into the new patch content as soon
as possible, but we kindly ask that you first take a few moments to check out
the access instructions and PTR FAQ below.
Gearbox Software offers videos of several Battleborn presentations
and interviews from E3. They have the
gameplay demo for YouTube,
a stream from Twitch, a
Stage Demo from GameSpot,
a report from the Twitch
booth, and a clip from
IGN Live. No need to adjust your volume between clips, all of Randy
Pitchford's shirts are equally loud.
This trailer offers
a look at co-op gameplay from Call of Duty: Black Ops III, captured on a
PlayStation 4, since it was shown in the Sony booth at E3. Here's word from
Activision on what this shows us: Take a deep dive into the Call of Duty: Black Ops III cooperative campaign
with the Cyber Core tutorial and an extended cut from "Ramses Station" as seen
exclusively at the Sony Playstation E3 booth. Call of Duty: Black Ops III is a
dark, gritty future where a new breed of Black Ops soldier emerges and the lines
are blurred between our own humanity and the cutting-edge military technology
that define the future of combat.
Designed for four-player online co-op or solo play, players will encounter
epic cinematic moments and open-area gameplay, allowing players to approach the
game with a different strategy each time they play. And now your campaign
character is completely customizable: from weapons and loadouts, to abilities
and outfits, all with full progression systems and a personalized armory to show
off accomplishments. With these and many more exciting new features, Call of
Duty: Black Ops III aims to deliver a constantly-evolving campaign experience.

Here's the E3
trailer for Anna's Quest, showing off the hand-drawn art style in
this point-and-click adventure game. Publisher Daedalic Entertainment also
announces the game will be released on July 2nd though GOG.com and Steam. Here's
the description from the clip: "Witches, ghosts, trolls and cursed princesses -
July 2015 will be the season of a hauntingly beautiful adventure: Anna’s Quest.
In a land far, far away lives a brave young girl called Anna. She lives a
peaceful life in the forest with her grandfather, until a mysterious illness
befalls him. And so Anna ventures forth to find a cure for him, but this world
is a much more dangerous and bizarre place than she'd thought: putting her
journey to a sudden end, the witch Winfriede kidnaps Anna to use her for an
experiment." Continue here to read the full story.
This thread on the Guild Wars 2 forums is filled with complaints from
players over the recently
revealed pricing for the upcoming Heart of Thorns expansion for
Guild Wars 2, ArenaNet's MMORPG sequel. The issue at the heart of this is
the inclusion of the base game with the expansion, which makes current players
feel they are paying for it a second time. ArenaNet has explained they are
viewing this as a free copy of the game for new players, rather than a bundle,
but this has not smoothed things over. The most recent posts from the company
offer reassurances this feedback is being taken seriously. Thanks
Eurogamer where they note
a report which explains another controversial element of this, as it states
that the game's FAQ was silently changed, but that prior to
being edited said separate ownership of the base game would be required to play
the expansion.
Battle.net outlines the Diablo III-themed content that will added to
Heroes
of the Storm over the course of the Eternal Conflict update for the MOBA, which
could have prevented a lot of frame-by-frame analysis of the recent trailer
for the MOBA expansion. This video shows off the new heroes, skins, and mounts they are adding, and here's the
accompanying explanation: The High Heavens and the Burning Hells are
being pulled into the Nexus with our upcoming Eternal Conflict update, and we’d
like to give you a sneak peek at a ton of new content that we’ll be adding to
Heroes of the Storm over the weeks to come. Fire up the video below to take a
closer look at some of the new Heroes, Skins, Skin Variations, and Mounts that
will invade Heroes throughout the impending Eternal Conflict:
- The Butcher
- Master Butcher Skin
Iron Butcher Skin
- Leoric
- Master Leoric Skin
- Vrykul Leoric Skin
- Archangel Diablo Skin & Themed Abilities
- Novazon Nova Skin & Themed Abilities
- Tyrael’s Charger Mount

The
Rescue the game website offers the release of Rescue 2 - Everyday Heroes, a
strategy sequel that once again tasks players with the responsibility of
responding to fires from small outdoor flareups to massive structural infernos.

responsible for the safety of the fictitious city of Belvitsia, but also ensure
that his rescue units are always adequately equipped to tackle their dangerous
tasks. Whether small outdoor fires or massive structural infernos, it is his
call to provide the men and women under his command with the right gear, to
assign the specialists hired by him to specific fire stations and to coordinate
their journey to various simultaneously occurring emergencies throughout the
city. Do you have the strategic abilities and skill to master all these tasks?
Try your hand and become a real everyday hero in RESCUE 2!

Yesterday the Gunnar-man started looking for his new friend the deer around the corner from
where we previously saw him. I was telling him he was off track when the deer appeared
across the street, and, I kid you not, started trotting toward us when he saw Gunnar. They were
checking each other out when Gunnar gave a "let's play" bark that scared
off his buddy.
We ran into him again in the afternoon, but he and Gunnar startled each other
which lead to the deer being spooked by a bark again. Maybe that's for the
best... as charming as this all is, desensitizing deer to dogs may not be best
for their survival instincts.
