<p>If you have a PlayStation 4, you might be starved for exclusive games right now. PlayStation VR costs more than your console did and sounds like <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/playstation-vr-psvr-motion-tracking-2016-10">it has some problems</a>. "No Man's Sky" (which isn't on Xbox One) came and went, and "The Last Guardian" is a question mark.</p><p>"Gravity Rush 2," the sequel to the cult classic PlayStation Vita game, would have been a quality PS4 exclusive this December, but that isn't happening anymore. <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2016/10/05/gravity-rush-2-update/">In a post on the PlayStation Blog</a>, it was confirmed that "Gravity Rush 2" has been delayed until January 20. </p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Sony</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>The blog post doesn't give an explanation for the delay, but to make up for it, the game's post-release DLC will be free now. It was previously planned to carry an additional charge.</p><p>"Gravity Rush" is about Kat, a girl who lives in a fantastical floating city. It's an open-world game where the player can manipulate gravity by merely pointing in a direction and pressing a button, meaning you can essentially fly around the world and mess with enemies as you please. </p><p>The original game generated attention with its unique gravity-shifting mechanics and visual style. The scope of the game and the size of its audience were both inherently limited by being on the Vita, but it's since been ported to the PS4. The upcoming sequel is a PS4 exclusive.</p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/mit-research-crowdsource-moral-decision-making-self-driving-cars-2016-9">This MIT website makes you decide who a self-driving car should kill in an accident</a></h3>        <div>            <div>        <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="xkdDR4NTE6_ZH6dJiyLhu7BujS6kEI2U" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>        </div>        </div>            </div>

<p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image"><p class="source"><span>REUTERS/ Rebecca Cook</span></p></div><p></p></div></div>The Federal Housing Finance Agency has reached a $9.3 billion settlement related to mortgage-backed securities with Bank of America, Countrywide Financial and Merrill Lynch, the housing regulatory agency <a href="http://www.fhfa.gov/webfiles/26142/BofASettlement032614Final.pdf">said in a release</a>. </p>
<p>Here's the release: </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Washington, D.C. - The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), as conservator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, today announced it has reached a settlement in cases involving Bank of America, Countrywide Financial, Merrill Lynch, and certain named individuals totaling approximately $5.83 billion. Bank of America Corporation owns Countrywide and Merrill Lynch. The cases alleged violations of federal and state securities laws in connection with private-label, residential mortgage-backed securities (PLS) purchased by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac between 2005 and 2007. Allegations of common law fraud were made in the Countrywide and Merrill Lynch cases.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The Agreement provides for an aggregate payment of approximately $9.33 billion by Bank of America that includes the litigation resolution as well as a purchase of securities by Bank of  America from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">"FHFA has acted under its statutory mandate to recover losses incurred by the companies and  American taxpayers and has concluded that this resolution represents a reasonable and  prudent settlement of these cases. This settlement also represents an important step in helping  restore stability to our broader mortgage market and moving to bring back the role of private firms in providing mortgage credit. Many potential homeowners will benefit from increasing certainty in the marketplace and that is very much the direction we should be taking," said FHFA Director Melvin L. Watt.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Of the 18 PLS suits filed in 2011, FHFA now has claims remaining in seven suits against various  institutions and remains committed to satisfactory resolution of these pending actions. The settlement agreement regarding private label securities claims between FHFA and Bank of America involves the following cases: Federal Housing Finance Agency v. Bank of  America Corp., et al., No. 11 Civ. 6195 (DLC) (S.D.N.Y.); Federal Housing Finance Agency v.  Countrywide Financial Corp., et al., No. 12 Civ. 1059 (MRP) (C.D. Cal.); Federal Housing  Finance Agency v. Merrill Lynch &amp; Co., Inc., et al., No. 11 Civ. 6202 (DLC) (S.D.N.Y.); as well  as one Merrill Lynch security in Federal Housing Finance Agency v. First Horizon National  Corp., No. 11 Civ. 6193 (DLC) (S.D.N.Y.).FHFA efforts are in line with other government initiatives to resolve PLS matters with Bank of America. </p>

Bank Of America To Pay $9.3 Billion Settlement Over Mortgage-Backed Securities Sold To Fannie And Freddie

<p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Bungie</span></p><p class="caption">"Destiny" players, a.k.a. Guardians, take on 800-pound Cabal warriors.</p></div><p></p></div></div>Even though "Destiny" has just begun its second year on the market, fans will soon be treated to a full-sized sequel in roughly a year's time.</p><p>Few people know details about "Destiny 2." But thanks to two major sources of information, we have a much better idea of what fans can expect from the first true "Destiny" sequel.</p><p>The first source is a <a href="http://kotaku.com/the-messy-true-story-behind-the-making-of-destiny-1737556731">long exposé published by Kotaku's Jason Schreier on Tuesday</a>. Schreier spoke to half a dozen former and current Bungie employees over the past 13 months to discuss the issues that have bogged down development on "Destiny."</p><p>The full story is <a href="http://kotaku.com/the-messy-true-story-behind-the-making-of-destiny-1737556731">worth a read</a>.</p><p>The second source of information comes from a Reddit post published in late July. The original post was <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3euqx7/spoilerdiscussionbig_things_are_coming_for_the/">deleted</a>, but another Reddit user copied the text to a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3npzor/reposting_old_leaks_that_have_now_gained_a_lot/">separate thread here</a>. That post included<span> leaked information about both "Destiny 2" and last month's expansion that had yet to be released ("The Taken King."), but almost every single far-fetched rumor about "The Taken King" turned out to be true. </span></p><p><span><span>Tech Insider has reached out to this individual, </span><span>but we are keeping </span><span>his/her</span><span> identity anonymous due to the sensitivity of this information.</span><span> That said, t</span></span><span><span>ake all this information with a grain of salt. Though this Reddit source has an excellent track record, there's a good chance major aspects of "Destiny 2" could have changed since July.</span></span></p><p><span><span>Now, on to the rumors.</span></span></p><h2>The game may be called "Destiny 2: The Shattered Suns."</h2><p>The original Reddit post from July called "Destiny 2: The Shattered Suns" a "completely new game" that's scheduled for release in September 2016.</p><p>"You will still be using your current characters," the post said. "It will focus heavily on Osiris and his endeavors as he is the main quest giver in the game."</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Bungie</span></p><p class="caption">This concept art from Bungie was never used. It shows the vault of Charlemagne, an AI warmind located on Mars, filled with treasures.</p></div><p></p></div></div></p><h2>"Destiny 2" will center on Osiris, a lost warlock</h2><p>Osiris is a character that's oft alluded to but never seen in "Destiny"; there's a competitive multiplayer tournament held every weekend called "Trials of Osiris," where groups of three people are pitted against each other and flawless victors get to visit Osiris' temple on Mercury. But we've still never seen this character.</p><p>According to the Reddit post, however, it sounds like Osiris will be front and center in "Destiny 2."</p><p>The warlock is described as an "Obi-Wan Kenobi-like mentor," and according to Kotaku, the original plot of "Destiny" was about finding Osiris. But Schreier's report says Bungie cut Osiris after it completely rebooted the game's story prior to the first "Destiny" launch in 2014.</p><p>Here's what we know about Osiris: Based on <a href="http://destiny-grimoire.info/">the Grimoire</a>, a massive book of in-depth lore about the "Destiny" universe, Osiris is a warlock who was exiled to a temple on Mercury and spawned a cult of followers, but has since vanished. He apparently "left a network of acolytes and admirers who carry on his work."</p><p>Even though Bungie cut Osiris from the original story, he's alluded to so often that it makes sense to feature a story on this character, especially when Schreier's report mentions him as a central character in the original game. Bungie has been known to cut aspects of its games only to include them later: the Dreadnaught, an alien ship riddled with mysteries that was also cut from the original game, was reintroduced in last month's "The Taken King."</p><h2>Bungie might not sell separate expansion packs after "Destiny 2"</h2><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Bungie</span></p><p class="caption">Guardians fight off the artificially-intelligent Vex menace.</p></div><p></p></div></div>Since "Destiny<span>" launched </span><span>last September</span><span>, </span><span>Bungie has released</span><span> three major expansions to the game in December 2014 ("The Dark Below"), May 2015 ("House of Wolves"), and September 2015 ("The Taken King").</span></p><p><span>But with <a href="http://www.techinsider.io/destiny-fans-worried-about-microtransactions-2015-10">last week's addition of microtransactions</a> - basically, you can pay real money to buy new dance moves and cosmetic items for your character - one "Destiny" source tells Kotaku that Bungie might choose to release new content for free in the months leading up to "Destiny 2," as opposed to selling new expansion packs every few months.</span></p><p><span>Here's what that source told Kotaku:</span></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span>Instead of it going "Destiny," DLC1, DLC2, "Comet" (the codename for "The Taken King"), DLC1, DLC2, they're actually just gonna go [big] release and then incremental release. So it'll just be "Destiny," "Comet," "Destiny," "Comet" every year. It's basically just switching the game to an annual model.</span></p><p><span>Indeed, this seems to be Bungie's plan, as this exact methodology was leaked back in July by that Reddit poster. Here's the important text:</span></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span>Bungie apparently stated that they are not going to continue with DLCs, but instead release free raids, planets, etc. throughout time. They will only be continuing with the main games after "The Taken King" and its successor DLCs.</span></p><h2>Bungie is getting some early help from a fellow developer</h2><p>Though "The Taken King" expansion has been a huge success, the Kotaku report says Bungie ended up cutting out a new public space on Mars and passing it to High Moon Studios - a subsidiary of Activision, Bungie's parent company - to develop it further.</p><p>Kotaku says High Moon Studios is "helping Bungie make ['Destiny 2']."</p><p>High Moon Studios is credited for work on the original "Destiny," but has produced seven other games, three of which are "Transformers" games. It also developed the "Deadpool" game that was published in 2013. </p><h2>"Destiny" players might finally get the matchmaking features they've wanted</h2><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Bungie</span></p><p class="caption">More concept art from Bungie shows us ships we've never seen before. It's possible we could see these again when "Destiny 2" launches.</p></div><p></p></div></div>Playing with other people is a big part of "Destiny." Since the game is exclusively online, player interaction happens everywhere: You can run into random players while patrolling a planet, in a designed public space, or on missions.</p><p>But Bungie's matchmaking tools are basic at best: They allow players to be matched up with each other for three-man strikes and 12-person multiplayer games, but there's no support for the game's big six-person raids, or even the weekly "nightfall" strike that requires three players to complete.</p><p>The limits of Bungie's matchmaking tools make it difficult for players to readily enjoy the toughest but best aspects of "Destiny." As such, the "Destiny" community has created several different websites for players to find groups or other people to play with.</p><p>Yet, Kotaku's report says Bungie is "capable of powering incredible things behind the scenes, like player matchmaking." That could mean Bungie plans to allow matchmaking for raids or nightfall strikes, but the report makes no mention of this capability actually rolling out anytime soon, or specifically for "Destiny 2." The months-old Reddit post doesn't mention better matchmaking as a feature, but players can still hope for the best.</p><h2>Keep in mind: These are rumors</h2><p>Though some of these rumors sound extremely plausible if not downright accurate - the name of "Destiny 2," for example, or the fact it stars Osiris as a main character - Bungie could change any or all of these aspects before next September, when the game is expected to launch.</p><p>We've reached out to Bungie for more information about "Destiny 2," and we'll update the story if we learn more. But as we said above, it's important to take these rumors with a grain of salt, since they are indeed rumors. </p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/destiny-the-taken-king-game-features-2015-9">3 reasons you should really start playing 'Destiny'</a></h3>        <div>            <div>        <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="tlYzJudzr5uHD7_1ZEDKiavy1W9fiM2M" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>        </div>        </div>            </div>

<p><div class="KonaFilter image-container float_right"><div class="image on-image"><p class="source">REUTERS/Yuri Gripas </p></div><p></p></div>The Federal Housing Finance Agency (<keyword id="223287" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="FHFA">FHFA</keyword>) has announced a $5.1 billion <keyword id="77105" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Settlement">settlement</keyword> with <keyword id="111830" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="JPMorgan-Chase">JPMorgan Chase</keyword> over <keyword id="6500467" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="mortgage">mortgage</keyword> claims from the financial crisis. </p>
<p>This is less than was previously expected.  It was <a href="http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/423ba922-0f27-11e3-ae66-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2dGsygthA">reported that the bank may have to pay</a> $6 billion.  </p>
<p><a href="http://www.fhfa.gov/webfiles/25649/FHFAJPMorganSettlementAgreement.pdf">From the press release [.PDF]:</a> </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Washington, DC - The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), as conservator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, today announced it has reached a settlement with J.P. Morgan Chase &amp; Co. and related companies for $ 4 billion to address claims of alleged violations of federal and state securities laws in connection with private-label, residential mortgage-backed securities (PLS) purchased by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Under the terms of the agreement, J.P. Morgan Chase &amp; Co. will pay approximately $2.74 billion to Freddie Mac and $1.26 billion to Fannie Mae to resolve certain claims related to securities sold to the companies between 2005 and 2007 by J.P. Morgan Chase &amp; Co., Bear Stearns &amp; Co., Inc. and Washington Mutual.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">In separate settlements, J.P. Morgan Chase &amp; Co. resolved representation and warranty claims with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac related to single-family mortgage purchases by the two companies. Under the terms of the agreements, J.P. Morgan Chase Bank N.A. will pay a total of approximately $1.1 billion -- $670 million to Fannie Mae and $480 million to Freddie Mac.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">"The satisfactory resolution of the private-label securities litigation with J.P. Morgan Chase &amp; Co. provides greater certainty in the marketplace and is in line with our responsibility for preserving and conserving Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's assets on behalf of taxpayers. This is a significant step as the government and J. P. Morgan Chase move to address outstanding mortgage-related issues," said FHFA Acting Director Edward J. DeMarco. "Further, I am pleased that a resolution of single family, whole loan representation and warranty claims could be achieved at the same time. This, too, will have a beneficial impact for taxpayers and the housing finance market."</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">FHFA's General Counsel noted, "Our lead representation by Philippe Selendy and the firm of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart &amp; Sullivan was central to reaching this landmark settlement and their work continues in the remaining PLS cases. I want to cite the strong work of the FHFA Office of General Counsel's litigation group under Stephen Hart and the legal and business teams at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">"The settlement of the PLS litigation was initiated by U.S. District Court Judge Denise Cote's direction to undertake mediation of the PLS cases under her jurisdiction. The settlement also is aligned with the working group of federal and state authorities addressing claims related to private-label securities and FHFA has and continues to work with all the government entities involved."</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">FHFA has now settled four of the 18 PLS suits it filed in 2011, and remains committed to satisfactory resolution of the pending actions.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">The settlement agreement regarding private label securities claims between FHFA and J.P. Morgan Chase &amp; Co. involves the following cases: FHFA v. JP Morgan Chase &amp; Co., et al., No. 121 CIV. 6188 (DLC) (S.D.N.Y.)(and other named defendants); FHFA v. Ally Financial Inc., et al., 11 CIV. 7010 (DLC) (S.D.N.Y.); FHFA v. First Horizon National Corp., et al., No. 11 Civ. 6193 (DLC)(S.D.N.Y.) and FHFA v. SG Americas, Inc., et al., No. 11 CIV. 6203 (DLC)(S.D.N.Y.)</p>

<p class="p1">Developer Volition made the DLC <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/247295/" target="_blank">free on Steam yesterday</a>. (Today, it's $2.99.)</p>

There's still no release date, though.</strong></li><li><strong>CD Projekt Red adopted a similar philosophy for its last blockbuster game, "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt."</strong></li></ul><p>CD Projekt Red hasn't said much publicly about its upcoming and highly-anticipated singleplayer roleplaying game, "Cyberpunk 2077" - but we got our first taste this week when it debuted a trailer during Microsoft's press conference at the E3 event.</p><p>That trailer hid more detail than we originally thought, too.&#xa0;</p><p>At the beginning of the presentation, the screen was made to look like the conference was being hacked. <a href="https://www.polygon.com/e3/2018/6/10/17447066/cyberpunk-2077-trailer-hidden-text">Polygon dug into that sequence a little further</a>, and discovered that by inverting the colors at just the right moment, a message was revealed.&#xa0;</p><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div><p>Here are the highlights of the message. You can read the whole thing a little further below.</p><ul><li><strong>There isn't a set release date:</strong> "&#xa0;<span>"Quality is the only thing that drives us," the developers say in the message. "It's the beauty of being an independent studio and your own publisher."</span></li><li><strong>Downloadable content will be free, and the game won't have digital rights protection:</strong>&#xa0; <span>"As for DRM, CP2077, will be 100 percent DRM-free on PC." In other words, you won't need to be online to play it, and it won't have any other kinds of invasive copy protection.</span></li><li><strong>There aren't any microtransactions:</strong>&#xa0;"<span>In a single player role-playing game? Are you nuts?"</span></li><li><strong>The game will be "big," but CD Projekt Red has no idea just how big yet: </strong>"Once we put it all together, we will openly tell you what you can expect," CD Projekt Red says. And we promise we'll do this before we start talking about pre-orders or ask anything of you."</li></ul><p>It gets even better: Earlier in the trailer, there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment where seemingly-random numbers and letters scroll fast down the screen. Those were actually codes redeemable on the Steam PC gaming store for free copies of smash-hit "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt," CD Projekt Red's previous game.</p><h2>The full hidden message:</h2><p>It's been over 2077 days since we announced our plan to develop Cyberpunk 2077. We released a CGI trailer, gave some interviews and… went dark. Normal procedure for these kinds of things - you announce a game and then shut up, roll up your sleeves and get to work. We wanted to give you the Witcher 3 and both expansions first, which is why this period of staying silent was longer than we planned. Sorry for that.</p><p>As soon as we concluded work on Blood and Wine, we were able to go full speed ahead with CP2077's pre-production. But we chose to remain silent. Why? At she point we made the decisions to resume talking about the game when we have something to show. Something meaningful and substantial. This is because we do realize you've been impatiently waiting for a very long time, and we wouldn't like anyone to feel that we're taking this for granted. On the contrary - it gives us a lot of extra motivation. The hype is real, so the sweat and tears need to be real, too :)</p><p>But to the point. Today is the day. If you're seeing this, it means you saw the trailer. - our vision for Cyberpunk, an alternative version of the future where America is in pieces, megacorporations control all aspects of civilized life, and gangs rule the rest. And, while this world is full of adrenaline, don't let the car chases and guns mislead you. Cyberpunk 2077 is a true single player, story-driven RPG. You'll be able to create your own character and… well, you'll get to know the rest of what show at our booth at E3. Be on the lookout for the previews!</p><p>Before we finish, you probably have some questions,</p><p>1. When?</p><p>When we told you we would only release the game when it's ready, we meant it. We're definitely much closer to a release date than we were back then ;) but it's still not the time to confirm anything, so patience is still required. Quality is the only thing that drives us. It's the beauty of being an independent studio and your own publisher.</p><p>2. How big?</p><p>Seriously big, but… to be honest, we have no bloody clue at this point in time. Once we put it all together, we will openly tell you what you can expect. And we promise we'll do this before we start talking about pre-orders or ask anything of you.</p><p>3. Free DLC/Expansions/DRM</p><p>Expect nothing less than you got with The Witcher 3. As for DRM, CP2077, will be 100% DRM-free on PC.</p><p>4. Microtransactions?</p><p>In a single player role-playing game? Are you nuts?</p><p>Once again, thank you for your patience. If you have a minute, do visit cyberpunk.net and share your opinion (about anything) with us. We read everything you posted we treat it very seriously.</p><p>Yours,</p><p>CD PROJEKT RED Team</p><div></div>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-having-problems-bugs-2018-5">Why Apple is having so many problems right now</a></h3>        <div>                    </div>    </div></hr></hr>

There was a hidden message in the trailer for 'Cyberpunk 2077' - here's what to expect from the game everyone's going crazy over

<p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; color: #222222;"><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div><p></p></div></div></span>For the first time in 20 years, the infamous dog from Nintendo's hit game "Duck Hunt" could be making a comeback.</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;"><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image"></div><p></p></div></div>An updated version of what appears to be the same "Duck Hunt" dog was spotted on anonymous message board 4chan. The 4chan member uploaded multiple screenshots of a game </span>that could be Nintendo's upcoming "Super Smash Bros." for 3DS.</p>
<p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">The latest chapter of "Super Smash Bros.", which is <span>one of Nintendo's best-selling and critically-acclaimed franchises,</span> will be released on Nintendo's handheld console on October 3 and later for Wii U. (</span><a href="http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=878858">NeoGAF</a><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;"> compiled the leaked screenshots, which we found through </span><a href="http://kotaku.com/huge-potential-leak-may-reveal-full-smash-bros-roster-1626455809?utm_campaign=Socialflow_Kotaku_Twitter&amp;utm_source=Kotaku_Twitter&amp;utm_medium=Socialflow">Kotaku's Jason Schreier</a>)<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Smash Bros. list of characters is typically hard to come by before launch. But the tipster posted this screenshot of 48 characters, including the Duck Hunt dog: </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span></span><span class="s1"><strong>SPOILER ALERT!</strong> I</span><span class="s1">f you don't want to know which secret characters might appear in the next big crossover brawler for 3DS and Wii U, you should stop reading. Maybe read some other <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com">Business Insider stories</a>.)</span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><div class="KonaFilter image-container"><div class="image"></div><p></p></div></p>
<p>You can see most of the familiar faces, including Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser, Yoshi, Wario, Donkey Kong, Princess Zelda, Samus, Fox McCloud, Kirby, and others.</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">But there are plenty of other new additions to this list: Nintendo previously unveiled Pac-Man and the Wii Fit Trainer as additions to the roster, but this alleged screenshot also reveals Bowser Jr. and Shulk from "Xenoblade." </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">For those that never played "Duck Hunt," that iconic Nintendo game from the mid-80s that let you shoot ducks on your TV screen with a light gun called the NES Zapper. This dog was typically called the "Laughing Dog" as he would laugh at the player whenever he or she failed to shoot down all of the ducks on the screen. <a href="http://stars.ign.com/articles/883/883629p1.html">IGN called the Laughing Dog</a> "one of the most annoying video game characters ever," thanks to its perceived smugness gamers "love to hate."</span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;"> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div><p></p></div></div><br /></span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">The dog only made one other appearance in a video game released in  1990, "Barker Bill's Trick Shooting." That was another NES game that used the zapper.  </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span>Here's the dog in that game:</span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div><p></p></div></div><br /></span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Laughing Dog aside, some fans noticed how characters from previous "Smash Bros." titles were left off the roster. The original 4chan poster says those characters, like Ice Climbers Snake from "Metal Gear Solid," will be made available at a later date through a downloadable content (DLC) package.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If Duck Hunt Dog is included in the game, <a href="http://smashboards.com/threads/the-dog-who-laughs-duck-hunt-dog-for-smash.324531/">one designer mocked up</a> how he could be played in Smash.</span></p>

For The First Time In 20 Years, Nintendo Could Be Bringing Back The Infamous Dog From 'Duck Hunt'

<p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>There was a lot of hope for "Destiny," the $500 million franchise from the folks behind the enormously popular "Halo" series.<p>But following the game's launch in September, a lot of criticism was hurled at Bungie: There was no real story to speak of, it was too repetitive, there was limited matchmaking, and there were plenty of game-breaking glitches and questionable design choices. Fans were, in a word, frustrated.</p><p>Some fans stuck with Bungie - to the tune of over 3 million people as of October 2014. They kept playing the game, exploring the world and cherishing the game's positive elements while holding out hope that Bungie would fix some of the major issues from the laundry list of bugs and head-scratching design decisions. And in recent months, Bungie has delivered for those fans.</p><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>In late February, Bungie <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/destiny-revisited-updates-make-it-so-much-better-2015-2">released a patch</a> that balanced out weapons and introduced a vault system that lets you easily exchange gear between your characters without even opening the game - you can do it all on a smartphone or computer.<p>Since then, Bungie <a href="https://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=12773">has tweaked</a> aspects of the multiplayer experience by making ammo more scarce and thus more valuable, it's expanded players' vault space for storing weapons and armor, and it's even added support for colorblind players by improving color-driven gameplay elements.</p><p>And on Wednesday, Bungie revealed the motherlode of additions coming in its second expansion pack, "The House of Wolves," coming May 19.</p><p>Among the additions, including new weapons, gear, and game modes, are several changes that "Destiny" fans have been craving for a long time, including a way to exchange all materials, and the ability to upgrade all weapons and gear to the maximum cap: This will allow for much more style variety in the game, since players could previously only choose specific pieces of armor if they wanted to reach the maximum level, thus making most players look alike.</p><p>The thing is, these changes would not have happened were it not for the "Destiny" community speaking up on Bungie's forums and on the "Destiny" subreddit.</p><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>"This sub has been a great place to listen," DeeJ, Bungie's community manager, <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/33i5zb/discussion_bungie_have_shown_that_they_are/cql7b1l">said in a Reddit post on Wednesday</a>. "Keep talking to us. People at the highest levels of Bungie want you to have fun playing 'Destiny'."<p>DeeJ has said multiple times that he and his team repeatedly visit these forums to see what players are talking or griping about, and he <a href="https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/104315534/0/0">even maintains an open forum</a> that asks people to leave their top three "wishes" they'd like to see happen in "Destiny."</p><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div><p>Even with its warts, "Destiny" marks a new age for video games: No longer is a game set in stone. Glitches, bugs, and even design choices can be tweaked or totally revamped, as players will soon see in the "House of Wolves" expansion, which will indeed affect other players that don't purchase the DLC. Players and fans have been waxing poetic on "Destiny" since the announcement because being able to dynamically improve this video game is something magical, and players love that they're being heard.&#xa0;</p><p>Bungie has previously said many times that "Destiny" is a 10-year game: There will be many expansion packs in the future, as well as future standalone games - Bungie is already hard at work on the "Destiny" sequel, even though players will reportedly be able to transfer their characters from one offering to the other.</p><p>But new content is all well and good: What's going to keep "Destiny" a hot game for years to come is how Bungie interacts and adapts to its community's wishes. And if "House of Wolves" is any indication, the future for "Destiny" is pretty bright.</p><div><div></div></div><p class="embed-spacer"></p>

Fan feedback is transforming 'Destiny' for the better

The 24 Items Everyone Should Have In Their Kitchen

<p><table class="image-container float_right" width="200"><tr><td><div class="image"></div><p class="source">AP</p></td></tr></table>New York Gov. <keyword id="196530" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Andrew-Cuomo">Andrew Cuomo</keyword> on Wednesday outlined a seven-step proposal to curb gun violence featuring what he said he hopes will produce the "toughest assault weapons ban in the nation."</p>
<p>Cuomo focused part of what was more than an hour long State of the State address to combating gun violence in the wake of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 children and seven others dead.</p>
<p><span>“I know that the issue of <keyword id="1127786" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="gun-control">gun control</keyword> is hard," Cuomo said in a passionate point of his speech. "I know it's political. I know it’s controversial. I say to you, forget the extremists! It’s simple — no one hunts with an assault rifle. No one needs 10 bullets to kill a deer, and too many innocent people have died already! End this madness — now!</span></p>
<p><span><span>"Pass safe, reasonable gun control in the State of New York. Make this state safer. Save lives. Set an example for the rest of the nation. Let them look at New York and say this is what you can do. This is what you should do!"</span></span></p>
<p>Cuomo's words were praised by, among others, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, who called it "passionate leadership on gun violence." And it has already fanned the flames on speculation for a 2016 presidential run — the <a href="http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/hr.asp?fpvname=ny_dn&amp;ref_pge=lst" target="_blank">cover of the New York Daily News</a> on Thursday calls Cuomo "America's Sheriff."</p>
<p><span>Some <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/andrew-cuomo-senate-president-2016-liberals-democrat-conservative-2012-12" target="_blank">liberals who had been critical of Cuomo leading up to and after the election in November</a>, though, wondered whether he would be able to enact that agenda with the Republican majority they say he helped create in November.</span></p>
<p><span>Liberals were irked that Cuomo didn't do enough to elect Democrats to the New York state Senate in November, as he said he didn't care which party was in power. </span></p>
<p><span><span>Democrats won a numerical majority, but five Democrats broke from the party's caucus to form the Independent Democratic Caucus, which will share governing powers with Republicans. </span></span></p>
<p><span><span></span><span><span>"I think the big if is whether he can get any of it through the GOP majority he not [so] subtly encouraged in the Senate," said Phillip Anderson, a campaign content and strategy consultant at <span>at </span><span class="company">Corporate Action Network, a New York-based organization that advocates for progressive causes. </span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><span class="company"></span>"I support what he's trying to do. Banning military style weapons and high capacity magazines seem to me to be very common sense moves. I say this as someone who grew up in the south, who grew up around guns, hunters and hunting. There's just no good reason for civilians to possess any of these."</span></span></span></p>
<p><div class="image-container float_right" style="width:400px"><div class="image"></div><p class="source">Newseum</p></div></p>
<p><span><span><span>Cuomo's proposal consists of seven things he'd like to see implemented or changed with New York's gun laws:</span></span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>The assault weapons ban</li>
<li>Closing the private-sale loophole by requiring background checks</li>
<li>Banning high-capacity magazines</li>
<li><span>"Tougher penalties" for illegal gun use, guns in school grounds and violent gangs</span></li>
<li><span>Banning guns from the mentally ill</span></li>
<li><span>Banning the Internet sale of ammunition in New York</span></li>
<li><span>Creating a state check on all ammunition purchases</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="line-height: 19.5px;">Anderson applauded Cuomo's plan, but he said that liberals have never had a problem with Cuomo on issues of gun control — it's his positions on labor issues that irk them. Moreover, he may have compounded the chance to get his own proposals passed without a Democratic majority in the state Senate.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 19.5px;">"<span>Yay! Do something about gun safety. Please," Anderson said in an email. "Also, quit being a Third Way/DLC retread."</span></span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 19.5px;"><span>At the end of his speech Wednesday, Cuomo walked off the stage to enormous applause from the lawmakers in attendance.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 19.5px;"><span><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/gun-control-task-force-obama-biden-nra-executive-action-2013-1" target="_blank"><strong>SEE ALSO: Biden: Obama can take 'executive action' on gun control &gt;</strong></a><br /></span></span></p>
