Call of Duty tweets a seeming confirmation of suspicions that a Call of Duty
4 remaster is part of recently rumored
plans for the CoD franchise. Responding to an older tweet saying the poster
would poop his pants should a CoD4 PS4 remaster come about, they tweeted emojis
of poop and pants, making a pretty wordy announcement if you use the old
"picture is worth a thousand words" formula. Thanks

The

expansion for The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited (thanks
Acleacius). This is currently on the test realm for the MMORPG, and it is
expected to go live for Windows and OS X on May 31st. This will be accompanied
by a patch with changes and the enhancements for the base game. Here are the
details: The Dark Brotherhood is looking for a few good killers. Explore
the Gold Coast and discover if you have what it takes to join the ranks of
Tamriel's master assassins in the Dark Brotherhood DLC game pack. From the port
city of Anvil to the Great Cathedral of Kvatch, the business of the Brotherhood
consists of murder and mayhem—and business is good! Join the Brotherhood, enter
the Sanctuary, and accept your first contract from the mysterious Speaker. Kill
well, assassin!
Dark Brotherhood, the latest DLC game pack for The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel
Unlimited, will be available on the ESO PTS (Public Test Server) later today and
launches on PC/Mac on May 31st, and both Xbox One and PlayStation®4 on June
14th. The Dark Brotherhood DLC game pack—complete with a new Dark Brotherhood
passive skill line, an all-new PVE area of Cyrodiil called the Gold Coast, hours

CapCom Unity has word that an update is coming to Street Fighter V
tonight at 10:00 pm EDT, adding the Guile character to the brawler sequel in a
patch that brings other changes, including a long-overdue punishment system for
players who disconnect. Here's word: Guile, one of the most iconic
characters in franchise history, is reporting for duty in Street Fighter V
starting tomorrow at 7PM PT! He retains his classic fighting style that allows
him to keep his opponents at bay with Sonic Booms and Somersault Kicks while
adding a handful of new weapons to his arsenal through the Variable System.
Other big ticket items such as the Air Force Base and the introduction of our
"Rage Quit" penalty system are also part of this April update. Hit the jump for
the full rundown.
Just like Alex, Guile will be available for FREE to all players until the
in-game shop that uses real currency is launched. Once the shop launches, the
free trial period for these characters will end and players will have to use
Fight Money or real currency to purchase them.
Joining Guile’s release is the first new stage to be added to Street Fighter V
post launch. Guile’s Air Force Base returns with a shiny new jet, a next-gen
boom box and some familiar background characters that fans may recognize from
their Street Fighter II days. This stage is available beginning today in the
In-Game Shop for 70,000 Fight Money. Season Pass holders will receive this stage
for free as a thank you for their continued support of Street Fighter V.
Also included in this Street Fighter V update is the first implementation of a
system to punish players who frequently disconnect during matches (aka 'rage
quitters'). The system will continue to be refined over time and more
enhancements will be implemented in the future. Additionally, a number of
improvements to the matchmaking system have been made, which speeds up the time
it takes to find an opponent and simplifies the process of creating and
connecting to Battle Lounges.
Lastly, there are a few bug fixes involving certain moves and scenarios that
have not been behaving as intended. These have been fixed in the April
update.
Gearbox Software announces the launch of the new Fleet Pack DLC for
Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak
on Steam, adding more new content to the space strategy game. Here's
a trailer with a look,
and here's the announcement: The second DLC Fleet Pack for Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak is now available
on Steam! You can see the announcement video below.
Known as the harbingers of death, the Khaaneph are a mysterious, nomadic
people dwelling in the deep Southern Desert. Through intercepted transmissions,
we know they are greatly feared by our most tenacious enemy, the Gaalsien. Our
own reconnaissance confirms their mastery of the battlefield. Modifying
scavenged and captured Gaalsien technology to deadly effect, both their
technology and tactics are offensive-based. The Khaaneph often attack in waves
and can swiftly disrupt resource operations, flank enemy forces, launch
explosive drones, and bombard their prey with a hail of missiles.
This fleet pack will add the new playable fleet, Kiith Khaaneph, to
multiplayer and skirmish modes in Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak. The Khaaneph
Fleet includes a new CARRIER, SIEGE CRUISER, BASERUNNER, PRODUCTION CRUISER and
new unit BLAST DRONE.
