Fallout 4 Release Date on PS4, Xbox, PC Latest News: Will 7 Year Wait End in June 2015?

Christian Post Report – For seven years, fans of Bethesda’s “Fallout 4” waited aimlessly for when the game will finally be released. It is likely that Bethesda will launch the highly anticipated game in June during the Electronic Entertainment Expo, which Bethesda will attend for the first time. However, gamers will need to stretch their patience a little more since the release date of the game will probably be around November, which is when most big titles are released.

Since Bethesda gives out limited information about its titles, fans of the game are left nothing but speculations. As early as 2013, speculations about “Fallout 4” are abound, even spawning a hoax website and an alleged leaked information from Kotaku detailing that the game is set in Boston.

Other rumors claim the game could be set in Boston. However, developers were quick to confirm that the setting would either be in Chicago or New York. Also spreading are rumors that the said game will not be launched on an Xbox 360 or Playstation 3, which points to speculations that the game would have improved visuals that requires use of improved hardware like that of the next gen PS4 and Xbox One.

In the report by International Business Times about senior multiplayer designer Josh Hamrick moving to Bethesda Softworks, rumors spread that the anticipated single-player video game will incorporate a multiplayer option. If this happens Bethesda seems to haved upped the ante in its games.

With the limited information Bethesda is feeding its hungry fans, E3 event could be the only answer everyone is waiting for. Bethesda looks to have something big in store for its fans. Bethesda will not plan out a big event like E3 if they don’t have anything significant to give out to their fans.

Other titles expected during the E3 include “Elder Scrolls 6” and “Wolfenstein.”

‘Destiny 2’ Release Date News: Spring 2016 Rumored Launch

Christian Post Report – Without any official news or announcements from game developer Bungie, only rumors have been circulating about when the next game in the “Destiny” series will be coming out. The most persistent rumor according to most reports is that the game will be released in spring 2016.

Destiny REUTERS/BUNGIE/ACTIVISION

A screen grab from the video game Destiny. Activision Blizzard Inc intends to spend 0 million developing and promoting ”Destiny,” potentially breaking industry records as it seeks to build the sci-fi role-playing videogame into its next multibillion-dollar franchise.

Updates about the new game has been scarce since Bungie announced in November 2014 that they are developing a new “Destiny” game, which most fans believed to be “Destiny 2” and not merely a downloadable content (DLC) pack.

The first game in the series, “Destiny,” has already released one DLC pack and is set to release another one in a few months.

There is another report however that claims that the new game may come much earlier. According to Venture Capital Post, the game’s publisher Activision had mentioned in a blog post that gamers should expect another Destiny-related release in fall 2015, which fans hope will be “Destiny 2.”

According to Christian Today, if this second rumor is true, it may not be bad for Bungie and Activision as they will time the release one year after the release of the first game in the series. This cycle has so far worked with their other franchise “Halo.”

“Destiny” is a game franchise established by Bungie after its first successful franchise “Halo.” It is a first-person shooter game set in what is called “a mythic science fiction setting.” It also features “a massively- multiplayer shared world environment with elements of role-playing games.” Bungie actually refers to it as “a shared world shooter game.”

The first game in the series has already received its first DLC pack “The Dark Below” and is expecting its second DLC in May 2015. In 2014, it was the third best-selling retail game in the US. As of January 2015, the game had 16 million registered users.

The game is available for the Xbox One and Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 and 4.

Facebook Updates 2015: Trending Again in Five Categories

Facebook continue to improve its features and update its security protocols to give its users worthwhile experience while updating their statuses on the social media platform. In its latest update, Facebook rolls out its “Trending” section that allows users to see the topics and headlines that might be of interest to them.

Facebook Trending section now available in selected countries.

Taking after the “Trending Topics”of Twitter, Facebook launched in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, and India their own “Trending” section with the social media’s web homepage sidebar. The sidebar will feature lists of words and phrases highly mentioned. It also includes a brief explanation of why those particular words and phrases are trending. This format frees the users of having to follow through several hashtags to identify the main source of the topic, which is what happens with Twitter’s “Trending Topics.”

“The description next to the topic is actually a headline that provides context around the topic and what is causing it to trend. We have rules in place that work to select concise, accurate, informative headlines,” a Facebook representative said.

The section will have five categories: Sports, Entertainment, Politics, Business, and Science and Technology. According to VentureBeat, Facebook is working on incorporating the update on its mobile apps.

This new addition to Facebook is beneficial for marketers that have contents that match category niches as they can target their audiences who “follow” trending topics included in the list. It would also be home to most news outfits wanting to get more exposure and user engagement.

This is a good addition to the social media app, however, to be able to efficiently maximize this feature, more Facebook users would need to post publicly because Facebook will only show a feed of links and posts according to updates from users who have the “Follow” feature that will allow people (even non-friends) to read public posts.

“Trending” will be accessible to Facebook users in several countries in the next few weeks.

‘The Flash’ Season 1 Spoilers: The Speedster Meets The Atom, Felicity Smoak Returns to Central City

Christian Post Report – This week’s showing of the hit superhero TV drama series “The Flash” Season 1 will see yet another exciting crossover of characters from the show and its sister DC TV series “Arrow.”

A report from IBTimes indicated that episode 18 titled “All Star Team Up” will see Starling City’s Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh) opting to visit Barry Allen/The Flash (Grant Gustin) with his girlfriend Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards).

Palmer and Smoak’s first order of business in Central City is to seek Barry and friends’ help regarding the completion of his A.T.O.M. exosuit.

S.T.A.R. Labs’ genius Cisco (Carlos Valdes) will be more than willing to take on the science project. However, certain events might halt the progress of the experiment for a bit because of an ongoing incident in Barry’s City.

A synopsis posted by The Futon Critic says that a new meta human named Brie Larvin (guest star Emily Kinney of AMC’s “The Walking Dead”) unleashes a swarm of robotic bees program to attack and kill her former co-workers including a certain associate, Dr. Tina McGee (guest star Amanda Pays).

Meanwhile, the issue about the death of Barry’s mother will also be tackled in tonight’s program. Duly advised by his adoptive father, Det. Joe (Jesse L. Martin), to behave normally, Barry is once again seen acting strange around his colleagues at S.T.A.R. Labs. This caught the attention of Cisco, who then asked Joe about the real issue.

The summary from TFC went on to specify that the group dinner with Barry, Felicity, Ray, Iris (Candice Patton) and Eddie (Rick Costnett) will turn out to be a disaster.

Find out more when “The Flash” airs this Tuesday, April 14 at 8 p.m. on The CW.

‘Call of Duty: Black Ops 3’ Release Date Xbox One, PS4, PC News: Teaser Trailer Reveals Plot Details

Christian Post Report – The next installment of the “Black Ops” series of “Call of Duty” is coming to the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4, generally called next generation consoles. “Call of Duty: Black Ops 3” may likely have a PC version as well, but it is not yet clear if versions for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 will be developed.

Call of Duty YOUTUBESCREENSHOT/ Call of Duty

Activision’s next Call of Duty from Treyarch will be Black Ops III as suggested by a teaser.

The story is set in “a dark, twisted future where a new breed of Black Ops soldier emerges and the lines are blurred between our own humanity and the technology we created to stay ahead, in a world where cutting-edge military robotics define warfare,” as reported by Gamespot.

The game will have three modes: Campaign, Multiplayer and Zombies.

Another report in Venture Capital Post specifies other game details that were said to be revealed in a recent teaser trailer that was released. One of the first reveals are possible game locations as indicated in actual map coordinates: a prison in Zurich, a school in Singapore and a location near the Nile River in Egypt.

Another detail the report speculated on was the possibility that “Black Ops 3” may likely allow players to “‘revisit’ sequences to previous events in the Black Ops 1 and Black Ops 2.” This is possible because of the time travel and alternate history features of all games in the series.

“Call of Duty: Black Ops 3” is developed by Treyarch and published by Activision. The first game of the series was released in 2010 and was set in the 1960s. The second game was released in 2012 and set in the 1980s and 2025.

Activision will be making a formal unveiling of the game on April 26.

Christian Post Report – Rihanna performs with Drake

Are Rihanna and Drake back together again?

The couple, who famously has on on-off relationship, was spotted getting cozy at Coachella during the weekend. Though they reportedly tried to hide the fact that they were spending a lot of time together at the music festival in Indio, California, many eyewitnesses claim that the two were acting like a couple.

An eyewitness from VH1’s “The Gossip Table” says that “Rihanna and Drake were spotted together this weekend at Coachella and they looked very couple-y.”

The source goes on to claim that there’s a good chance that they are back together and that Rihanna “loved” Drake’s performance with Madonna. The “Umbrella” singer was reportedly spotted dancing offstage while Drake performed with the “Holiday” artist.

Rihanna and Drake have been dating on and off since 2009 following her breakup with Chris Brown. They collaborated on their hit song “What’s My Name” in 2010 and reportedly stopped seeing each other shortly after the song was released. After their loved up performance at the 2011 Grammy’s, many speculated that they seemed to be back together again. They released another song and music video back in 2012, “Take Care” and at that time, it was reported that they were seeing each other again.

In 2012, Drake and Brown got into a heated altercation at a night club in New York City, and it was reported that they were fighting over Rihanna. Sometime in 2012, Rihanna got back together briefly with Brown, but in April 2014, she and Drake appeared to be together again as she accompanied him at his world tour. During the past few months, Rihanna has been linked to Leonardo DiCaprio, while Drake was rumored to be dating video model Bernice Burgos.

Christian Post Report – Missy Elliott posted this picture of her with Katy Perry and John Mayer at Super Bowl on her Twitter account.

Are Katy Perry and John Mayer back together again?

According to an eyewitness from E! News, the “Roar” singer, who is taking a break from her highly successful “Prismatic” world tour, was spotted having dinner with Mayer at the brand-new West Hollywood hot spot Ysabel on Saturday, April 4. The website’s source claims that the pair didn’t shy away from acting like a couple in love and were very affectionate with one another.

The pair, reportedly joined by another couple for the outing, was said to be very cozy with one another and holding hands through the night, said the insider.

Back in January, the couple sparked rumors of a reconciliation when they were photographed heading off to dinner at a mutual friend’s house in L.A. The couple first broke up back in February 2014. The 37-year-old and Perry were reportedly all smiles during the dinner party, and they were seen out together several times after.

Mayer and Perry were also seen enjoying drinks with a few friends, including Allison Williams at the Chateau Marmont. However, last month, it was reported that the couple broke up again.

While it was earlier reported that their latest breakup was caused by Perry’s touring, another insider told E! that Mayer has been telling friends that he and the “Teenage Dream” singer are “over for good.” Mayer reportedly said that the split was due to a “lack of emotional interest on his end.” Moreover, the source claims that the singer-songwriter is telling his pals that he “fell out of love with Perry but will always love her.”

Reps for Mayer and Perry have yet to comment on the reports.

Christian Post Report – With the regular season wrapped up, the top teams are left and the New York Islanders play the Washington Capitals at the Verizon Center in the first game of their playoff series. The match is on April 15, 2015 at 7 p.m. PM ET.

The NHL is looking to expand has Las Vegas in its sights

Washington ended their regular season with a loss against the New York Rangers. Before that loss they won two straight games and had six straight games where they secured at least a point.

On the other hand, the Islanders scored a point against the Columbus Blue Jackets in their last game as they lost 5-4 in a penalty shootout. They have alternated wins in their last seven matches to close out the season.

As far as their head-to-head battles are concerned, they met a total of four times this year, with the series split 2-2.

In their first meeting, the Islanders won 3-2 in overtime thanks to a John Tavares goal in the extra period. Anders Lee and Travis Hamonic scored for New York, while Alex Ovechkin tied things up on separate occasions to bring the game to overtime but fell short and Washington had to settle for a point.

The Capitals bounced back in the second game as they played as hosts, beating New York 5-2 with Andre Burakovsky and Marcus Johansson scoring early for Washington but was leveled by Tavares and Lee. However, three goals in the last two periods separated the two teams to give Washington their revenge.

Their third meeting in New York ended similar to their first meeting, an overtime win for the Islanders, this time with Johnny Boychuck being the hero for the hosts.

And just to prove how evenly matched these two teams are, the fourth meeting ended in a Washington victory, but New York also had a point as the game ended in a 3-2 penalty shootout win for the Capitals.

With close games in the regular season, expect a tight match in the first round of the playoffs.
