Here is your Weekly News Roundup!
A Lizard Squad hacker may be avoiding jail time. The Lizard Squad for those of you who don't know are a group of hackers who took down PSN and Xbox Live last Christmas and one of their members, Julius Kivimaki, has been convicted of over 50'000 charges in computer crime. However Kivimaki or "zeekill" as he's known online has been granted a two year suspended sentence and has been ordered to fight against cybercrime and in doing so he avoids jail. The Lizard Squad have stated that the attack on PSN and XBL was in an effort to "raise awareness" to the "low state of computer security at Sony and Microsoft" which is understandable but to be fair they did piss off a lot of PlayStation and Xbox players at Christmas.
Moving on Sega have realised they fucked up and want to win back the fans. In the last few years Sega's development track hasn't been wonderful, just look at Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, but Sega wanna rectify these problems asap. Speaking in an interview CEO and president of the company, Hajime Satomi, has said that to win back the trust of the fans they have to focus on quality. Satomi said "I believe that if we can't maintain quality it would be better not to release anything at all" "...... We did our best to build a relationship of mutual trust with older fans but looking back there have been some titles that betray this [trust] in the past ten years" Satomi also said that even with this new focus on quality he can't guarantee that a high-quality game is released this year but Sega could announce a new title at the Tokyo Games Show.
Tired of kicking ass in Gotham City as Batman? Well soon you'll be able to change things up with Arkham Knight's frist DLC pack. Titled Batgirl: A Matter of Family, players will be able to step into the shoes of Barbara Gordon and kick ass as Batgirl. The events of the DLC take place before Arkham Asylum and won't feature Batman. The DLC will release on July 14th for those of you with the Season Pass and on July 21st for everyone else. It will only be released on PS4 and Xbox One because the PC version of Arkham Knight is still fucked.
Now if your looking for a new PS4 game you might be happy to know that PC horror title The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is creeping its way on to PS4 very soon. In fact so soon the game is launching next Wednesday July 15th. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is a beautiful game, originally designed for and released on PC last September.
And finally, Hitman won't be fully finished when it launches on December 8th 2015. Square Enix have stated in an interview that the game won't be finished by December but a good sizeable chunk of it will and the rest will be released in 2016. The game will be digital only at launch and physical copies will be made available when the game is finished in 2016. But my new box smell.
