| Voices Heard: Microsoft Decides To Remove All Xbox One Used Game & Internet Connection Restrictions |
 |

Most people use the internet to complain about all the things, big and small, that life drops on on our doorsteps. Most of the time these complaints are pointless or heard by only a couple of friends. But sometimes, when a great deal of voices combine into one very loud voice that speaks strongly and passionately about a particular topic, it’s almost impossible to ignore. And that’s when we see response, and we see action. Recently we the gaming community found out that all of the restrictions that were rumored for (but seemingly impossible to get a direct answer about) the next video game console from Microsoft, the Xbox One—the “always on” connection; the used game restrictions—were in fact true in one way or another. Much outrage ensued. But the company walked into E3 confidently and showed off the one thing people are excited about, the games, without talking much about the actual console. That left the door open for Sony to land a devastating blow. Then Microsoft was asked about how people who had absolutely no internet options would be able to enjoy their games, and their response was gasoline dumped on the wildfire. Now, after all of this angry chaos, Microsoft is finally making some changes. People, after all, can’t play your games if they refuse to buy your console.

| E3 2013: First Cinematic Trailer For PlayStation 4 Exclusive ‘The Order: 1886’
Sony doesn’t get nearly as many exclusive video game titles as Microsoft does, but they’re still walking out of E3 the victors after some exciting announcements about their new PlayStation 4 console. One PS4 exclusive they do have coming is The Order: 1886, a new game from God of War PSP developers Ready At Dawn, and the first cinematic trailer for the game was released during E3 2013. The game has the late 19th-century look you’d expect after reading the title, but also some steampunk and even futuristic vibes with a collection of weaponry you wouldn’t expect to see in 1886. It has a sort of a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen feel to it, if a comparison had to be made. Check out the first cinematic trailer for The Order: 1886 below.
