Uh Last week,Destinyplayers everywhere were frustrated thatthe Iron Banner PVP event, a game mode they put hours of work into, yielded really poor loot despite Bungie’s claims that it would be worth playing. Well, according to the developer, the loot issues were due to a “nasty bug” that affects both Crucible and Iron Banner drops. Uh, that’s strange, because Crucible yielded better results than Iron Banner last week. So once again, we can chalk up another failed public event to Bungie’s lengthy list, even a year after the game has been out....

You wantDisgaea 4on the Xbox? So doesNippon Ichi’s president,Haru Akenga. In an interview, Haru explained thatNippon Ichi asks Microsoft for the opportunity to develop for the system all the time, particularly when it comes to theirDisgaeagames. If onlyfan demandwas seen as a convincing argument. Alas, it’s not that simple:Nippon Ichi has only 80 employees, and to make matters worse, the Japanese market for the 360 is negligible. That last bit is crucial, as the Japanese market is their priority — this is the reason that Nippon Ichi focuses so heavily on PSP development....

The idea of a “digital era” is something that gets major publishers wet between the legs, and whatever dampens their pants should turn ours brown. However, the future might not be as scary as it sounds on paper, and an age of digital distribution might not be quite so publisher-led as the companies in charge think it’ll be. It might be the best thing to have happened to gamers and game makers....

Ahead of E3, Bohemia Interactive has released a developer walkthrough forArma 3which highlights some of what will be shown at the convention next week. There’s plenty of talk about upgrades to the game’s tech in this video, so don’t go in expecting a well-scripted sequence full of non-stop action. That said, holy crap, I legitimately thought the helicopter was going to crash. I’m probably just projecting my own inability to pilot aircraft in videogames again....

Tay is off Twitter and getting some ‘upgrades’ I love to havefun on the web. But it’s precisely because of the individual’s propensity for fun online that large, multi-person entities might want to reconsider trying to have fun online. It’s funny when sports site Deadspin tells Donald Trump, “Go fuck yourself” (years before the man was approaching a presidential nomination). On the other hand, the UK tried to let the internet pick the name of its $287M ship and “Boaty McBoatface” won out....

‘Stay cool, Bret’ Another slip-of-the-tongue has further suggested the existence of an incomingTony Hawk’s Pro Skatertitle, which is expected to launch sometime in 2020.

Speaking on their official Facebook page, The Death Set referenced that they had licensed several tracks for a “Tony Hawk 2020” game. As quickly as it arrived, the post then vanished....
