As many of you know the Xbox One was announced earlier this week. I'm not going to be focusing on that today, but you can click here for my special report on it, or here for my personal commentary on the presentation.
Back in January Atari announced they were going bankrupt. Soon after they tried to auction off their complete catalog of games as a whole and failed. Earlier this week, they announced they are going to be auctioning off their game franchises in July. This time they will be auctioning the titles separately. The auction will take place over 4 days.

Need for Speed Rivals was teased this past week. It will feature seamless transitions from single player to multiplayer gameplay, using a system they call "Alldrive". I expect that it will work similar to the system Journey used. Rivals is going to be an open world racing game. You will be able to choose whether to be an underground street racer, or a cop and each faction will unlock different cars. This will also be the first Need for Speed game in 7 years to feature Ferraris. Click here for more information.
Bungie's upcoming title "Destiny" showed off a new trailer this week. It shows a few human and alien vehicles, some enemies, and the dynamics intended between the 3 different playable classes: Titan, Hunter and Warlock. Destiny will be an MMOFPS (massive multiplayer online first person shooter). More information, and a full gameplay trailer will be revealed at Sony's panel at E3 on June 10th. You may watch the new trailer below.
EA games clarified that they intend on not only supporting the upcoming next generation consoles, but they will also continue to produce games for the current generation until at least 2017. The CFO of EA games, Blake Jorgensen also teased a potential revive of the Star Wars Battlefront series. When asked about their rights to produce Star Wars games Jergensen also stated that they want to develop games that are independent of the movies, but they will try and piggyback off the movies' success. We will have more Star Wars games to look forward to as the new movies approach. Here is the original story.
Those of you looking forward to the racing game Grid 2 might want to save up a lot more money. In the UK you can buy a 125,000 pound ($188,700) special edition of the game. This special edition includes the PS3 version of the game, a PS3, a special in game BAC mono supercar, a special BAC brand helmet, racing suit, gloves, and boots for your personal enjoyment, and a limited edition BAC mono supercar to enjoy around town (and yes, it is street legal). Not only that, but you'll also be invited for a tour of the BAC factory, and you get a meeting with the techs to customize your mono before you leave. For the full story click here.
Battlefield 4's release date was officially announced for current generation consoles. It will be released on October 29th in the US, and November 1st in the UK. You can watch the 17 minute gameplay trailer for battlefield 4 below.
