More interesting details have emerged today for Call Of Duty: Black Ops III, the new entry of the series launching later this year in all regions on consoles and PC. The new details come straight from David Vonderhaar, Treyarch’s Design Director.

Mr. Vonderhaar has been asked on Twitter if the Blackhat, which allowed players to hack others’ equipment, will be back in Call Of Duty: Black Ops III. The Design Director has confirmed that the team has big plans for the hacking mechanics in the new game but they are still working them out. This is definitely good news for fans of the game who are expecting the Call Of Duty: Black Ops III experience to be even better than Call Of Duty: Black Ops II’s one.

David Vonderhaar has been revealing more and more about Call Of Duty: Black Ops III on his Twitter profile. Yesterday he has confirmed that it will take two hits to defeat enemies in melee combat during multiplayer mode and that the game will feature EMP grenades and a different type of scoping. As the game is still in development, these features are from pre-pre alpha tuning so things will probably end up being somewhat different in the beta and final versions of the game.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops III has been revealed officially this Sunday with a new trailer. Unfortunately not much is currently known about the game, other than the fact that it will be released on November 6th and that all those who pre-order the game will also receive access to the game’s beta.

Some details on the Call Of Duty: Black Ops III multiplayer mode have also emerged earlier this week. The mode will sport some radical changes from previous entries of the series, with the introduction of nine different Specialists featuring different weapons and special abilities. The first Specialists to get revealed are the Outrider, the Ruin, the Seraph and the Reaper.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops III will be released on November 6th on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. There are no news on a possible PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game at the moment.

Sony Has a “Monopoly” on the High-End Japanese Gaming Market, According to a US Senator

The never-ending saga surrounding Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard has a new participant.  Today, Senator Maria Cantwell, a Democrat from the state of Washington, said some things about the subject that were hard to understand.

The senator, whose remarks were reported on by ResetEra, spoke at a Senate finance committee hearing on “the president’s 2023 Trade Policy Plan,” which we are sure was quite interesting.

Senator Cantwell said that she had been told that Sony “controls a monopoly of 98% of the high-end game market” despite the fact that “Japan’s government has allowed Sony to engage in blatant anti-competitive conduct through exclusive deals and payments to game publishers, establishing games that are among the most popular in Japan.”

This 98% statistic is highly deceptive because it ignores PC, Nintendo, and mobile games and instead refers to Sony’s adoption rate over Microsoft in Sony’s native country of Japan, a fact that shouldn’t surprise anyone who is even somewhat familiar with the video game business.

What can we do to rectify these problems and create a level playing field, she said of US Trade Representative Katherine Tai after charging Japan’s Federal Trade Commission with improperly failing to look into this purported “exclusionary conduct”?

It is absurd to claim that Sony has a monopoly on the Japanese video game market, as Luke Plunkett of Kotaku correctly points out, “because Sony doesn’t even have a 98% share of the market for the God of War series, a title they own, as Steam is getting 30% of every sale on PC.”

It goes without saying that we can’t expect elected officials to be experts in every field, but this is a visible step at a time when the ongoing attempt to buy the company is at a very important point.

Is it significant that Microsoft, along with Nintendo, maintains its headquarters in Redmond, Washington—Senator Cantwell’s district—or that Microsoft has given Cantwell more than $500,000 over the past two decades?  Let us leave that up to you.

Pizza Possum is an arcade action game in which you, a possum, attempt to consume as much trash as you can without being discovered.  It is a web-based sequel to the anarchy simulator Untitled Goose Game.It will eventually be available on the PS5.

We couldn’t help but notice that the possum in the title doesn’t look like the cute Australian possum that comes out at night to visit people.On the other hand, it looks like the horrible North American opossums are the ones that will attack trash cans and cause general chaos.Even though we think the second choice was better in terms of theme, we prefer the first one and are happy to explain why.

Your thoughts on Pizza Possum?  Does it possess the necessary mass appeal to successfully skitter along the back fenceline while setting the dog off in the process?
