Uncharted 4 Release Date, Collectors Editions Revealed

Sony Announces Uncharted 4 will be dropping Spring next year along with a host of preorder goodies to draw gamers in
Since Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End was first announced by former Crash Bandicoot developer, Naughty Dog, they have been teasing this will be the last we’ll see of protagonist Nathan Drake. After three games of running, gunning, and jumping from insane heights Drake’s days of adventuring appear to be over.
Naughty Dog has been refusing to confirm whether the rumors that this is Nathan Drake’s last appearance are true or not. Despite all the hints that fans have found in the trailers, pointing towards the older and more haggard Drake that we’ve been seeing. What they were willing to confirm this week is that Uncharted 4 will be coming out on March 18th, 2016.
In the past few months Sony had been promising fans that Uncharted 4 would be coming out in early 2016. The March release date shows the games development is right on track which should come as no surprise to fans. The Uncharted series is Sony’s biggest exclusive and they are doing all they can to make Uncharted 4‘s release a big one with multiple collectors editions.
On the Playstation Blog, Sony announced Uncharted 4 will be receiving digital and physical collectors editions. The physical edition, for gamers who love the feel of a game box in their hands, will have two collectors editions to choose from: the Special and Libertalia Collector’s Editions.
Inside the Special Edition will be a steelbook case designed by Alexander Laccarino, exclusive 48 page hardcover art book, Uncharted 4 sticker sheet, plus Naughty Dog points to unlock in-game content.
The Libertalia Edition is the end all be all of Naughty Dog goodness packing everything that comes with the Special Edition as well as: a 12 inch Nathan Drake statue, three exclusive multiplayer outfits (one based on Nathan’s outfit from Drake’s Fortune, one based on the heist scene from Among Thieves, and another inspired by Nathan’s desert outfit from Drake’s Deception), three exclusive weapon skins, three in-game hats based on real life fortune hunters, special sidekick outfits, a Phurba Dagger taunt, and an exclusive Uncharted 4 theme for the PS4.
Fans who prefer to pick up digital copies of their games won’t be left out of the fun. Gamers who preorder the digital standard edition of the game through PSN will land: two multiplayer outfits (the Drake’s Fortune and Among Thieves heist scene), two weapon skins, Phurba Dagger taunt, and a few Naughty Dog points.
Fans willing to drop the money for the Digital Deluxe Edition will gain the desert Drake multiplayer outfit, desert weapon skin, two multiplayer hats, extra multiplayer customization items, as well as the “Uncharted 4 Triple Pack” that gives owners instant access to future story and mutliplayer DLC.
All of these different editions make it clear that Sony is pulling out all of the stops to make this biggest Uncharted release yet. Whether gamers choose to take advantage of all these preorder offers or not it, one thing is for sure, Nathan Drake’s latest adventure will be one of his best.

As Disney Speedstorm Ends, Arendelle Hits PS5, PS4

Disney Speedstorm, Gameloft’s free-to-play kart racer, will enter its latest season with a wintery backdrop of Arendelle. Let It Go will add Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, and Hans as racers. As always, they’ll have unique moves and abilities.
Oaken and other musical movie crew members will be unlocked, along with a new Golden Pass. After fan feedback, the developer is rebalancing this aspect of the release so you can progress faster and unlock more rewards.
The developer also announced on Twitter that it’s lowering in-game shop prices starting today, and if you’ve paid for microtransactions, you’ll get a big payout. The French studio appears to be betting on this season’s success.
Adding non-Frozen characters Oswald, Ortensia, and WALL-E could also help. A comprehensive game update should bring back lapsed players and attract new ones. Will you challenge the kart racer?

New Destiny 2 Microtransaction Is Bad Bungie Removed It from PS5, PS4

Bungie has pulled a contentious $15 starter pack from Season of the Wish, which launched yesterday. The pack had a poor selection and was marketed to new players, which the community strongly opposed.
The starter pack proudly stated that players could “experience the power of build-defining Exotic weapons by instantly unlocking three of Destiny 2’s finest: Traveler’s Chosen, Ruinous Effigy, and Sleeper Simulant.” An exotic ship, a sparrow, a ghost shell, 125,000 glimmer, 50 enhancement cores, five enhancement prisms, and one ascendant shard are also included.
This offering may seem harmless to a new player, but Forbes’ Paul Tassi says, “You sort of have to be a Destiny 2 player to understand what an outrageously bad deal this is.” The Forsaken Pack, another Bungie release, includes two dozen Exotics, a dungeon, and a raid. It cost $20 and is now $5. It looks bad, from what we can tell.
Guardians retaliated with negative Steam reviews. They orchestrated the DLC page to include “Capitalism,” “Crime,” and “Psychological Horror” user tags, which is funny.
After Bungie pulled the pack, Redditor Grizz3d summarized the community response: “I don’t get how that starter pack was approved. What part of stealing from new players wasn’t going to result in community outrage? Bungie’s disconnect with players is shocking. I’m glad you got rid of the pack, but it’s disappointing that Bungie thought it was a good idea.”
This follows the Witcher 3 crossover armour sets, which look great but are expensive. Sony’s independent live service outpost is in danger due to a delayed expansion and studio layoffs.

PlayStation planted over 500,000 trees last year

Sony announced last year that it would plant trees for Horizon Forbidden West PlayStation fans who unlocked a simple trophy in the open-world game. This, in partnership with several charities, sought to protect the global environment and biodiversity.
Over a year later, it released a trailer showing its progress. The company has planted 600,000 trees worldwide, restoring 1,800 acres. More importantly, the gaming industry has planted 2.5 million trees worldwide.
Gaming is fun, but we must protect our world. Sony has taken steps to be more environmentally friendly, such as adding energy-saving features to the PS5 and shipping all its products in fully recyclable packaging.
