If 'The Division 2' Faces Off Against 'Anthem' In Spring 2019, Who Will Win?
Similarly, Ubisoft has promised that The Division 2 will be out some time in the next 12 months, which seems to indicate it may not try to drown itself in the crowded fall 2018 window with Black Ops 4, Battlefield 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 all vying for attention, and it may follow in the footsteps of the original game for a March release date as well. With Destiny 2’s contractually mandated fall expansion coming out in September, most likely, and Borderlands 3 apparently content to arrive whenever Hideo Kojima finishes Death Stranding, that means that we could have an Anthem vs. The Division 2 loot shooter showdown next year. Through DLC in year one and free updates in year two, they turned The Division into a very fun, very functional loot shooter, and they promise that they’ve learned lessons about initial endgame activities for the sequel.

Here's How I'd Fix Destiny 2's Escalation Protocol Since Bungie Doesn't Want To
In Escalation Protocol, Bungie and Vicarious Visions have created a potentially great event that they don’t seem to understand at all. While I hoped that “This Week At Bungie” yesterday would shed some light on upcoming fixes to Escalation Protocol, it appears Bungie is sticking to its guns. “Escalation Protocol was designed to be a high-difficulty endgame activity for a max-level, three-player fireteam,” said lead designer Jacob Benton.

Sony’s EMI Acquisition Could Shift the Music Industry’s Balance of Power
Whether or not Sony Corp (ADR) (NYSE:SNE) made a brilliant move by acquiring the bulk of EMI Music Publishing this is largely a matter of your opinion of the music industry’s current health. Whatever the music industry is these days, or whatever it’s going to become, Sony’s mission to dominate it is at least the smartest way to take a swing. Sony, second only to Universal Music Group in terms of music revenue, reported it’s going to pay $2.3 billion to acquire EMI Music Publishing.

Shaders And Mods Continue To Be The Gum In The Works Of 'Destiny 2'
The best change they’ve ever made is that you can now dismantle things directly from your vault and postmaster, meaning you no longer have to do the awkward dance of shuffling things around in order to scrap them. With the arrival of Warmind, Bungie added 100 new slots to your vault, which is a nice stopgap, but all it really does is make things catch up to closer to where they need to be.

This Year It's 'Battlefield 5' Fighting YouTube Trailer Dislikes For A Change
One of the dumbest stories of 2016 was the internet war that was raged against the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare trailer. Both it and the Battlefield 1 trailer debuted around the same time, and Infinite Warfare’s opening spot just didn’t hold a candle to its rivals’. Not content with simply saying “meh” and moving on, there was a coordinated effort among fans (well, anti-fans) to make Call of Duty not only arrive with bad buzz, but to make the trailer one of the most disliked videos in YouTube history.

Please Sony, Don't Make The PS5 For 2019. Or 2020.
Sony's Playstation 5 has been whispered about for years, essentially ever since the Playstation 4 came out back in 2013. The whispers, however, are intensifying: there are rumors of development kits already out it in the wild, of big games being made with the new hardware in mind, of business strategies that would seem to require new hardware. This is inevitable: hardware manufacturers gotta manufacture hardware, and nothing drums up business like a new machine.

Sony in $2.3 billion deal for EMI, becomes world's biggest music publisher
Sony Corp said on Tuesday it would pay about $2.3 billion to gain control of EMI, becoming the world's largest music publisher in an industry that has found new life on the back of streaming services. The acquisition is the biggest strategic move yet by new CEO Kenichiro Yoshida and gives Sony a catalogue of more than 2 million songs from artists such as Kanye West, Sam Smith and Sia. The deal is part of Yoshida's mission to make revenue streams more stable with rights to entertainment content - a strategy that follows a major revamp by his predecessor which shifted Sony's focus away from low-margin consumer electronics.
