  • Planetside 2 confirmed for the PS4, Firefall enters open beta soon, Microsoft mysteriously

  • cancels their E3 media roundtable, and stick around to the end to find out how to win a

  • copy of The Last of Us!

  • Hey guys, I'm Jess, and this is the Curse Weekly Roundup.

  • Well, there's a SURPRISING amount of news considering E3 begins in a few days, but let's

  • get right into it.

  • First up, on Wednesday SOE uploaded a teaser video announcing that Planetside 2 is coming

  • to the PS4! They announced just about as little info about this as they could, promising more

  • about it at this year's E3 - so we'll definitely give you guys all that coverage. Are you guys

  • gonna play it on the PS4? Leave me a comment below and let me know!

  • Next up, news dropped earlier this week that Microsoft had suddenly and mysteriously canceled

  • their post-E3 media roundtable. Toronto Sun tech reporter Steve Tilley tweeted this info,

  • saying he got the news in an email from Microsoft's PR agency. The official story is that it's

  • due to "changes in execs' schedules," but a lot of gamers out there think that's PR

  • doublespeak for "you guys are gonna ask a lot of questions about used games and always-on

  • DRM that we just don't wanna answer." What do YOU guys think? PR coverup? Or are some

  • of us jumping to conclusions and it was simply a scheduling issue?

  • Moving on, Red 5 is giving us ONE last chance to play Firefall before the game reaches its

  • open beta. Their last beta weekend begins...today, June 7th, at 12 pm Pacific, and runs til 11:59

  • PM pacific on Sunday, June 9th. During this time, anyone can install the client and play

  • for free - AND as a thank you for participating in the beta weekend, Red 5's giving out prizes.

  • Everyone who logs in gets a special set of in-game night-vision goggles. You can also

  • enter to win one of two FIrefall Prize Packs, containing a Razer Blackwidow Tournament Edition

  • keyboard, an ATi Radeon iPower Iceq X2 3GB video card, a limited edition Brontodon plushie,

  • and a Commander-level Founder's Pack! To enter, create a video showcasing why you love Firefall,

  • and submit it through the game's official Facebook page, which we'll link below. And

  • if you're STILL not convinced to dive into New Eden, don't take my word for it - check

  • out James' video, which we'll link below, about making New Eden your own, and all the

  • things the game and its universe have to offer.

  • Next, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic has hit the App Store! It costs $9.99, for

  • the iPad only, and has been getting mostly positive reviews - obviously it's the same

  • game as the inital Kotor's release, but apparently some of the controls are a little wonky since

  • they weren't originally designed for a touch screen.

  • And finally, The Last of Us has been receiving perfect and near-perfect scores across the

  • board. Now personally, I'm really not surprised. I remember being blown away by its showing

  • at E3 2012, and I can't wait to get my hands on it! And, because I'm so excited about this

  • game, Curse is gonna give one of YOU guys a copy. To enter, I want you to recreate the

  • cover art - the medium you use is up to you! Draw it in MSPaint, grab a friend and snap

  • a photo of the two of you posing as Ellie and Joel, reenact the scene with barbies or

  • Lego characters, whatever - the more creative, the better. Use an image hosting site like

  • imgur to upload a photo of your creation, and tweet me the link @JessBrohard. We'll

  • choose the best, funniest, or most creative entry on June 13th and announce the winner

  • on next week's Roundup, which we'll be shooting at E3.

  • And that's all we have for you this week! But hey, if you wanna see more videos from

  • us, be sure to click here and here, and hit that subscribe button down there if you haven't

  • already! And as always, thanks for watching, enjoy the game.
