Free to Play Halo Announced, In Russia
343 Industries today announced that a new Halo title is in the works, called Halo Online, but it's a pretty puzzling game announcement for a couple of reasons.
Not only is Halo Online a free-to-play title - marking the
franchises' entry into the free-to-play arena, but it's also a PC
exclusive and will only be releasing in Russia for the time being.
The game is being developed by Saber Interactive and Innova Systems,
in collaboration with 343 Industries, and will use a modified Halo 3 game engine:
"Halo Online is powered by a highly
modified version of the Halo 3 engine and optimized for smooth
performance on lower-end PCs. While there’s no campaign mode, Halo
Online is set on a secret UNSC space installation called Anvil, where
Spartan-IV soldiers train together in war exercises to sharpen their
battle skills and test experimental technology.
During the Halo Online closed beta, we will continuously adjust and modify gameplay, features, and the in-game economy. We’re looking forward to getting feedback from gamers living in Russia when Halo Online enters closed beta later this spring via Innova’s 4game platform."

Sony and Marvel Partner to bring Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Marvel and Sony have announced a partnership that will officially bring Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The deal calls for “the new Spider-Man” (as the press release
describes him) to first appear in an upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe
film – though which film that will be is not named. Spider-Man will then
star in his own new film, released by Sony, opening July 28th, 2017,
which will be produced by Amy Pascal and Marvel’s Kevin Feige.
The press release notes that Feige and Pascal “will collaborate on a
new creative direction for the web slinger.” Sony Pictures will continue
to finance, distribute, own and have final creative control of the
Spider-Man films, though Feige’s involvement as a producer seems to
indicate Marvel is heavily involved in the series now.
Fans will also be happy to hear that Marvel and Sony “are also
exploring opportunities to integrate characters from the MCU into future
Spider-Man films,” which would indicate when Spider-Man gets his own
solo films again, he’ll still likely be able to interact with MCU
characters he’ll be seen with in the Marvel/Disney-distributed films.
During the Sony hacks late last year, leaked emails revealed
conversations between Marvel and Sony about this possibility that
ultimately didn’t come to fruition. At the time, it was said the plan
was for Spider-Man to be introduced into the MCU in Captain America:
Civil War. That film will begin production soon, so it remains to be
seen if Spider-Man will be included there or if his debut is saved for a
different MCU film.
The announcement and Pascal’s involvement comes in the same week it
was revealed she would be stepping down from her co-chairman position,
in the wake of those hacks.
In the press release, Feige praises Pascal, stating, "I am thrilled
to team with my friends at Sony Pictures along with Amy Pascal to
produce the next Spider-Man movie. Amy has been deeply involved in the
realization on film of one of the world’s most beloved characters.
Marvel's involvement will hopefully deliver the creative continuity and
authenticity that fans demand from the MCU. I am equally excited for the
opportunity to have Spider-Man appear in the MCU, something which both
we at Marvel, and fans alike, have been looking forward to for years."
For those wondering if there’s any possibility of a different person –
say Miles Morales – behind the Spider-Man mask this time, Sony’s Doug
Belgrad’s statement puts an end to that speculation. Says Belgrad, "Sony
Pictures and Marvel Studios share a love for the characters in the
Spider-Man universe and have a long, successful history of working
together. This new level of collaboration is the perfect way to take
Peter Parker's story into the future.”
Says Sony’s Michael Lynton, of the long hoped-for deal, “This is the
right decision for the franchise, for our business, for Marvel, and for
the fans."

Pachter: Microsoft is preparing for life after Xbox
Enjoying your new console? Well,
Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter thinks it’ll soon be
obsolete, and he thinks that Xbox maker Microsoft knows it.
Speaking this morning with moderator Geoff
Keighley at our GamesBeat 2014 in San Francisco, Pachter explained why
he thought Microsoft would shift its gaming focus from consoles to PCs
and mobile.
“I think consoles are going away, because
you used to need a console because you could not connect a
microprocessor to your TV screen,” Pachter said. “Now, if you have a
Chromecast stick or a Roku box, you can. So why do we buy consoles? I
mean, your phone will be powerful enough to power any game in two more
generations. And, so, why buy a console? I think Microsoft actually
knows that.”
These comments come after Microsoft bought
Minecraft developer Mojang for $2.5 billion earlier today. Microsoft has
always had a lot of success with hardcore gamers, but acquiring the
mass-appealing Minecraft — a game that’s especially popular on mobile
platforms — could be a sign that the company is looking to reach a wider
audience.
Pachter also talked about the middling
critical response to Destiny, the recently released first-person
shooter/massively multiplayer online game hybrid for Xbox One,
PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. The PlayStation 4
version currently has a Metacritic score of 76.
“That’s not good enough, I think, to
support a recurring franchise,” Pachter said. “They’re going to have to
step it up next time.”
Publisher Activison Blizzard spent millions
promoting Destiny. The game already had a successful launch, but
reviews didn’t start coming out until after the shooter’s release.

Fantastic Four teaser trailer is here
20th Century Fox's "contemporary re-imagining" of
Marvel's Fantastic Four is now available in trailer form, and you can
check it out above.
Fantastic Four is the story of four people whose physical
forms are altered after being teleported to an alternate universe. The
film is expected to hit theaters Aug. 7.
"Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness
their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a
former friend turned enemy," the video's description reads.
There's little hint about the film's story in the trailer, though its
narrator speaks briefly about mankind's need to build and invent,
responsibility and sacrifice — all telltale signs of a classic superhero
tale.
Fantastic Four will star Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate
Mara, Jamie Bell and Toby Kebbell. The film is just one of many Marvel
properties coming in the next four years,
though it won't be tied to those universes in quite the same way; the
roster includes new Thor and Captain America movies, as well as Doctor Strange, an Inhumans movie and more.
