Magic: The Gathering- Tactics debuts new PS3 trailer

By Ryan Fleming January 28, 2011

Magic: The Gathering is one of those franchises that you either already know everything about what is going on with it, or you don’t care–there isn’t much middle ground. It appeals to its own fanbase rather than reaching out to a more mainstream audience, and as a result, the fanbase for is one of the most loyal and well informed anywhere around. SOE hopes to win those fans over with Magic: The Gathering- Tactics, for the PS3.

Originally released earlier this month on the PC as a free-to-download and play game, no word yet on when we can expect this on the PS3–or in what medium. Odds are it will appear as a downloadable title on the PlayStation Network, but no word on when or how much it may cost.

Your video game consoles could become much more expensive soon

People have a lot of questions about what a second Donald Trump presidential administration will look like, and one of the big concerns surrounds proposed tariffs on foreign imports, with larger ones targeted for China. If these are passed, it could signal a big change in how video game hardware and software is manufactured and could lead to increased costs for players.

Digital Trends spoke to analysts about the potential impact that tariffs could have on tech like game consoles. As of this writing, the proposal is to implement a 10% or 20% tariff on all imports, but a specific 60% tariff on Chinese imports. Some analysts we reached out to declined to comment on the impact of the tariffs because while Trump has discussed a plan, it hasn't gone into effect and might not. Others, like Serkan Toto of Japanese games industry consulting firm Kantan, warned that consumers could be the ones paying the cost if plans go into effect.

Assassin’s Creed Infinity has a new name and no microtransactions

Ubisoft quietly confirmed new details on Assassin's Creed Infinity, a hub that's set to launch alongside Assassin's Creed Shadows, on the franchise's official Reddit on Friday. It not only revealed that Animus Hub would be the official name, but that the rewards would be free.

The post was in response to a datamined leak (since taken down via DMCA request) that purportedly revealed a lot of information about the Animus Hub and how it would integrate with Assassin's Creed Shadows. Along with revealing the new name, we learned that the Animus Hub would include a battle pass with cosmetics that can be purchased with Isu Coins, the in-game currency. This led to people assuming that there would be microtransactions involved.
