Incredible Behind-The-Scenes Video Shows Steve Vai's Halo 2 Recording Session

Halo 2 's theme song is one of the franchise's most memorable pieces of music, and now an incredible behind-the-scenes video shows how it was recorded. Halo composer Marty O'Donnell recently posted a very cool video that shows some of the recording sessions with guitarists Steve Vai and Nile Rodgers. The 27-minute video is worth a watch from end-to-end for any Halo fan, but you can skip to around 9 minutes to watch Vai shred the theme music moment memorable riff. Behold: O'Donnell worked on the Halo franchise while at Bungie and stayed on board to write the music for Destiny. He was fired from Bungie in 2014, later suing Bungie and eventually prevailing against the studio, getting hundreds of thousands of dollars . He's now working alongside Halo and Destiny designer Jaime Griesemer at a new studio Highwire Games. The independent outfit's first game is the PlayStation VR title Golem . from GameSpot - All News https://ift.tt/2NCzOJD

Xbox One Deal: Last Chance For This Really Good Xbox Game Pass Deal

The really good Xbox Game Pass deal is ending soon. Microsoft is currently offering a 1-month subscription for $2, with a second month added to your account for free. So that's two months of Xbox Game Pass for $2. That's a great deal considering Xbox Game Pass normally goes for $10/month. You have to act quickly to get in on the savings, as the deal ends on August 31. It began back on August 20, so it was a very limited time offer to begin with. You can sign up for Xbox Game Pass on the Xbox website or through your console. Xbox Game Pass is Microsoft's Netflix-style subscription program for Xbox One that gives you access to a growing library of titles for a monthly fee. There are currently more than 100 games (across Xbox One and backwards-compatible Xbox 360 titles) in the library, and more are coming in September including Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Quantum Break . All of Microsoft's first-party games launch into Game Pass, meaning subscribers can get ...

After Destiny 2: Forsaken, Bungie Has A Year's Worth Of DLC Planned

Forsaken, the next expansion for Destiny 2 , arrives on September 4. Bungie has now revealed a new ViDoc (above) and the planned roadmap of DLC content that will come to Destiny 2 after Forsaken has arrived.

New Spelunky 2 Gameplay Trailer Reveals Online Multiplayer And New Characters

PlayStation has posted the first gameplay trailer for Spelunky 2 , the sequel to one of the best indie platform games of all time. The trailer was posted alongside an interview with the creator of the original Spelunky , Derek Yu, who revealed additional insight into the sequel. "Since Spelunky 1 was released, a lot of great roguelike-inspired games have come out and pushed the genre in cool new directions, but I think Spelunky is still very unique in terms of the freedom it offers the player and the way different elements interact, where one event can trigger a cascade of consequences that have to be dealt with," Yu said. "At its core, Spelunky 2 is not too different [from the first game]. My opinion about sequels is that they are extensions of the previous games, so I want fans of Spelunky 1 to jump in and feel like they're playing a continuation, both storywise and mechanically." Yu later explains that Spelunky 2 is not a mirror image of the original, and ...

Spider-Man's First DLC Arrives In October, Followed By Two More Later This Year

Insomniac Games community director James Stevenson has announced on the PlayStation Blog that Spider-Man will be getting post-launch DLC on October 23. Titled The Heist, the DLC is the first of a three-part expansion called The City That Never Sleeps. Each part seems to focus on a different character from Spider-Man's circle of friends and foes, with the first being about one of Spidey's ex-flames. One very small spoiler for Spider-Man follows. If you want to discover all the characters alluded to in the main game on your own, stop reading. The Heist focuses on Felicia Hardy, aka Black Cat. Throughout the main game, you'll find clues scattered throughout New York that hint she might be back in the city. However, she won't make an actual appearance until The Heist launches. In the comics, Peter Parker's love life typically bounces between three women: Mary Jane Watson, Gwen Stacey, and Felicia Hardy. Mary Jane has already been confirmed for the game, and is even...

NBA 2K19 Studio Answers Our Burning Questions

With Madden NFL 19 and The Golf Club 2019 launching this month, the season of annual sports games is officially underway. One of the next big major releases in the sports game category is 2K's NBA 2K19 , which launches on September 7 for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Switch. GameSpot recently had the opportunity to speak with 2K's Head of International Communications, Wouter Van Vugt, to talk about a number of topics about the new game and wider matters related to the pro basketball franchise. In our interview, Van Vugt discusses things like the Nintendo Switch version of NBA 2K19, which is the second NBA 2K game for Switch following last year's NBA 2K18 . We also asked about how 2K felt about the 11th hour controversy last year when NBA 2K18 cover star Kyrie Irving was traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Boston Celtics. We were also curious if that drama factored into 2K's decision to use a close-up shot of LeBron on the NBA 2K19 20th Anniversary Edition to avoid ...

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate: How To Transfer Save Data From 3DS To Switch

Capcom's popular monster hunting series arrived on Nintendo Switch this week with the worldwide release of Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate , an expanded port of 3DS's Monster Hunter Generations . If you've already sunk a considerable amount of time into the 3DS version and don't want to start over, you can transfer your progress to the Switch game and carry on with the same hunter. Doing so is a fairly straightforward process, but there are quite a few steps you'll need to follow, which is why we've put together this handy guide to help you along. To transfer your 3DS save data to the new Switch game, you'll first need to install the Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Save Data Transfer App on 3DS. You can download the app for free from the 3DS Eshop or directly on Nintendo's website . Once that has been installed, launch the Save Data Transfer App, then choose the option to link your 3DS and Switch systems. This will generate a transfer password. ...

Download Destiny 2: Forsaken's Day One Update Early, Here's When

Bungie just released more information about the launch for Destiny 2 : Forsaken. The expansion comes to all platforms on September 4, but you'll need to download a Day 1 patch before you can play. On September 4 at 7:00 AM PT / 10:00 AM ET / 3:00 PM BST, Destiny 2's servers will go offline for maintenance. Bungie predicts the necessary patch to play Forsaken will go live about 30 minutes later. At 10:00 AM PT / 1:00 PM ET / 6:00 PM BST, Destiny 2 will go back online. The Forsaken expansion will be playable at that time assuming you've finished downloading the patch. Figuring players would need time to level up in preparation for it, Forsaken's raid, Last Wish, won't go live as quickly after the expansion's launch as previous raids did. On Bungie's website , Destiny 2 senior designer Joe Blackburn said that Last Wish will go live on September 14 at 10:00 AM PT / 1:00 PM ET / 6:00 PM BST. Bungie has been advertising Forsaken's launch with the tease that...

Last Chance For These Free Xbox One Games With Gold

If you have an Xbox Live Gold subscription and you have yet to download two of the Games With Gold for August 2018, time's running out. As usual, Microsoft's freebies are available during staggered windows throughout each month. Come August 31, you'll no longer be able to download Forza Horizon 2 and Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two for free. To grab your games, either visit Microsoft's Games With Gold page online or from your Xbox One's home screen. Forza Horizon 2 is one of the Xbox One games available in August. It's an open-world racing game from 2014 that's set in Southern France and Northern Italy. It has the Forza series' realistic-feeling cars, but also offers many features typically found in arcade-style racing games (like a set of races that pit your car against an airplane). This game is going to be delisted from the Microsoft Store soon, so this is one of your last chances to grab it. Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is an X...

All In 2018 PPV Match Card, Date, Location, And How To Watch: The Biggest Indy Wrestling Show Of All Time

You're probably well aware of the upcoming event All In , if you're a wrestling fan which comes to the Chicagoland area on September 1. The Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, will host the Saturday event, which sold out out quickly. All In will feature talent from NJPW, ROH, Impact, NWA, Lucha Underground, and even one headed back to WWE pretty soon. Even Stephen Amell, the star of The CW's Arrow , is set to compete. This show all began because of a challenge on social media. Back in May 2017, wrestling journalist and insider Dave Meltzer answered a fan's question about whether Ring of Honor could sell out an arena that seated 10,000+ fans. Meltzer said , "Not any time soon." Cody Rhodes shot back and said, "I'll take that bet Dave." Cody, along with Matt and Nick Jackson, came together to put this show on. The Sears Centre, which holds 11,800 people, sold out within 30 minutes, and this was before a match card was even announced. Information of ...

Why CD Projekt Red Waited So Long To Show Cyberpunk 2077's Gameplay Demo

After nearly three months of waiting, fans eager to get a look at Cyberpunk 2077 can finally do so. CD Projekt Red, the acclaimed developer of The Witcher series, has released the gameplay demo that was first shown behind closed doors at E3, and then again at Gamescom. It consists of a 48-minute look at the first-person RPG, and as was the case in its private showings, it remains extremely impressive. But, given the great deal of acclaim it's received, just why did CD Projekt Red wait so long to share the video? That very subject is addressed by Adam Badowski, the game director and CD Projekt Red's studio head, in a press release accompanying the release of the trailer. "What we're releasing today was recorded from a game deep in development," he explained. "Since many of the assets and mechanics in the current version of Cyberpunk 2077 are most likely to be modified, we initially decided to show this gameplay only to media. Elements like gunplay (both in ...

A Life Less Fantastic: Shenmue, Yakuza Kiwami 2, and Life in Video Game Japan

Image
I was fortunate enough to have lived in Japan when I was younger. In fact, it kickstarted this whole anime thing for me-- I've talked about this before . While it certainly was a special experience that I'm eternally grateful for, it really wasn't that different from living in the States. I still went to school, my parents went to work, I played video games at friends' houses and ate pizza and watched movies and walked the dog.   But the point is, life in Japan wasn't as wacky or out-there as the manga I was reading, or the anime I was watching on TV, and it was the little things I missed the most: canned almond cocoa from a vending machine, convenience store food, the pleasant ring of a chari , yellow hats and randoseru on little kids coming home from school, the smell of citronella coils that people started burning when the mosquitos came out in full force. I left Japan in 1996, and in no uncertain terms, I missed it.     It wasn't until November 8, 20...

Our Favorite Anime Dubs of 2018!

Image
Anime dubs tend to have a mixed reputation: you either love them or you hate them, but many fans still prefer to see the original product, which I feel is a little unfair--dubs aren’t inferior products. While there’s nothing to compare the original anime to in terms of voice acting, the dubs are automatically given status as a comparison of how well it can convey the Japanese delivery instead of how it works as an original product. Audiences are used to the Japanese voices, and with the dubs coming out after Japanese-language episodes air, people come to expect a particular sound from the shows they watch. But that isn't to say dubs aren't worth watching, because dubs can do their job pretty well! The 2018 stretch of anime is halfway over, encapsulating the winter, spring, and half of the summer seasons, so let’s take a look at some of our choice dubs that we’ve seen over the year!    My Hero Academia     My Hero Academia  has garnered a great amount of...
