No review embargo, so once the review code goes live tomorrow I'll hopefully have some impressions up leading up to release

Smite is now in open beta.
-----
World of Tanks will be up for pre-loading on Friday.
If you pre-load before the games release on July 28th you'll receive a free tank, T1E6-X1 with a custom emblem and camouflage.
On the 11th-12th there will be a beta and if you play during that time you'll receive a free tank, Premium Tier III M22 Locust (if you already have the tank, you'll receive 180K Silver and a Garage Slot). You can also get this if you play on the 360 during the weekend.
Peak testing time on both days is 11am-2pm PT (6-9pm UTC). Double XP during the period and Double Battle Operations.
Remember tomorrow there's the "Play Halo 2 on the 9th of any month" achievement you can get.
But my brother missed the "Play Halo 4 on the 6th of any month" achievement and he got it anyway by taking his system offline and changing the date. So even if you miss these they're still easy to get.
These two achievements in Master Chief Collection are also date-specific for July 7th (yesterday) and I missed out on them. I don't care about them for now but if it comes down to it I have no qualms with changing my XB1's date to get them:

Thank Christ.
My brother and I played Halo CE's fourth level (The Silent Cartographer) in online co-op (not splitscreen co-op) and all relevant achievements popped normally for both us. Yay. =)
Our progress was INCREDIBLY slow lately (we're only up to level 4) because of how discouraging the achievement issues were. Hopefully we're up to Halo 2 by this weekend.
We're going to stick to online co-op and go back to splitscreen co-op once we're done with playlists. Seems like playlists make achievements buggy with splitscreen.

The title makes me laugh. Can't wait for this one.
Is 2 player Co-op the max for CE? I haven't tried more, but I want to know if I can get 3 people into a co-op game before I get too excited.

Yes, 2 max for CE and 2.
Curses!

FFVII remake rumoured to come out on XB1. Yay? The topic has already been closed, darn.

The reveal trailer did say play it first on PS4, to me that screams timed exclusive.
Kagari says FFVII Remake is a SFV scenario, so no Xbone version.
Is Kagari a Neogaf member? All this tells me is that the parties involved are happy to obsfucate the issue with vague messaging.
An official involved with the game should come right out and say the game will never come out on XB1.
Kagari is a well known Square insider, she hinted at FFVII Remake before the PS4 was revealed. When it comes to Square stuff, I'd honestly rather listen to her than the Square boss himself.

The World of Tanks beta servers are up. If you get the G22 error check here.
And people that had previously downloaded Onigiri should be seeing the english version in their ready to install list (the servers aren't live yet).

Nice I've been waiting for Onigiri to come west. I played a little bit of the Japanese version but don't know the language so it was a bit tough and I had to stop

Enjoying Spectra so far. I can see myself coming back to it when I'm waiting for something to happen/download.
It runs smoothly, there's some intentional slowdown when you hit a barricade but when you pinball between a couple of them the fps can drop for a split second. Never enough to mess things up. The only time it feels unfair is when you crest a blind hill and a barricade is right in front of you. For a hardcore track that might be okay but the normal tracks should have at least a barricades gap (I'm totally not grumpy because that's how I mostly fail. Shot out into the black endless void.).
There's lots of room to improve and flesh out the game if they sell enough to put more time into it. Few things I'm like to see.
-In addition to the retry option, there should be a re-roll option on the retry screen so you don't have to back out to the menu to get a new track.
-Some shorter cuts of the chiptunes for a byte sized arcade mode. The ten full tracks are all quite long.
-If tracks can be generated with a seed number like Spelunky, a challenge option either between friends or a global daily/weekly one.

I highly doubt it will be a PS4 exclusive, I'm sure Sony would be more than happy to put it as a "console exclusive" if that's the case, just like SFV.
This is more or less like Rise of Tomb Rider.
You doubt out of assumptions, Kagari however knows that FFVII Remake is a SFV scanerio.
She was the one saying that, if nothing has changed, Rise of the Romb Raider on PS4 4-6 months after Xbone version.

Is it Final Fantasy: The bickering snorefest that doesn't belong in this thread ZzZ??
It would be Magical if it was that.
Let's see then...maybe 5-10 years later? Hehe
The music in Spectra is soooo good. Chipzel is awesome.
Embargoed to the point where you can't tell us the name?!

That is correct. It's coming on July 15 though.

Is this something completely unannounced or something we knew was coming already?
If it's the latter I'm going to guess Octodad.

That's crazy. It's like they don't want anyone to know about their game at all.
But, yeah, Indie developers are in general horrible at PR.
eastx
Member
It has already been announced. It's not Octodad, though that would be cool! The developer is indie but not one of the smallest ones. I have no idea why they don't want to announce the date yet - maybe they'll announce it on their own slightly before the 15th.
Wish I could share more info, but them embargoes.

Hmm, I have no idea then. Curious to see what it is.

Maybe part of Summer Spotlight series?

Nah, I asked them on twitter about E3 time and they said if it needs the time it will be a 2016 release, its not coming so soon.
Strange decision not to announce when its due so soon, my money is on Don't Starve (I don't know what it is, fwiw)
Fair enough. Don't Starve seems logical. I'm trying to think what else could be featured in the Summer Spotlight stuff.

Beyond Eyes maybe?

Those 3 have already been announced to be a part of it, iirc
The Ultimate Sale was pretty good for me.. I will have downloaded:
Tales of Borderlands Season Pass
Game of Thrones Season Pass
Ori and Blind Forest
Sleeping Dogs Definitive
Dragon Age II (360)
I'm partially responsible for that.
