Der Neo Leak:

Ob Sony auch so reagieren wird wie MS bei den E3 Leaks?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Quote:The limited edition Gears of War 4 Xbox One S sports a 2TB hard drive and a custom “Crimson Omen” controller that borrows the console’s color scheme.The controller features the same distinctive claw marks as the console along with other nifty flourishes, such as a bloody thumbprint splashed across the D-pad. It will also be sold separately.
The claw marks were added using a laser-etching process that cut into the plastic casing deep enough to ignite a fire. You can see that process in action below.
On the digital goods side, the console bundle includes a download code for Gears of War 4: Ultimate Edition (for XB1 and Windows 10), early access to the game on Oct. 7, Gears 4 weapon and character skins, a multiplayer lobby emblem and six “Gear” packs containing in-game items.
Quote:Microsoft will also be releasing a second Gears 4-themed controller, also priced at $74.99, as a GameStop and Microsoft Store exclusive. This one features a grey-and-blue color scheme based on the armor worn by protagonist J.D. Fenix, the son longtime Gears hero Marcus Fenix.
Rod Fergusson, studio head at Gears 4 developer The Coalition:
When we started the design process for the console, we talked about what would be its origin story. One thought was to make it look as if it was part of the game world, that it could literally be an object that you would find in a game level on Sera. That didn’t seem all that interesting to me or Monique on our Design Team, so instead we talked about how the console could be inspired by Gears of War 4 themes and colors. We focus more on what we might have had to use to survive in that world. We talked a lot about the theme of “reclaimed beauty” in the world and the impact the brutal Swarm were having on it. The laser etched scratches (the deepest they’ve ever done on a console) represents using the console as a shield blocking Swarm attacks. The directional multilayered bloody splatter printing represents using it as a weapon and smashing it’s corner down on a monster’s head. This is more than a console, this is what you need to survive the Swarm!
The previous Xbox 360 custom Gears console and controller was red and we wanted to continue that tradition. Obviously red is the color of blood (something you see a lot of in Gears) and for us it’s also the color of the Swarm. So naturally as we did more with red we also wanted to make sure there were lots of references to The Swarm and blood. Whether it’s laser etched claw marks on the console or the bloody fingerprints on the custom Elite controller.
At its core, Gears of War 4 is a co-op game and so it made a lot of sense to create a second controller. With so much of our hardware bundle Swarm themed, we decided to create a controller around the theme of our Coalition heroes. We focused on the iconic chest plates of the Gears, and their blue lights, blue paint and center chest logo – especially JD Fenix’s new armor. So now you and your friend can each grab a controller – one Swarm-themed and one Coalition-themed and jump into Gears 4 to see if you can survive a night together with the monstrous new Swarm.

Britischen Humor muss man nicht verstehen.
edit:
You’d expect a God of War statue to look pretty epic. But there’s epic and then there’s EPIC, and this enormous statue of Guan Yu, a famous general in Chinese history who was later deified, is most definitely EPIC.
The statue has just been unveiled in Guan Yu Park in Jingzhou, China. It’s 58 metres (190ft) tall and weighs over 1,320 tonnes, and it contains over 4,000 strips of bronze. It was designed by Han Meilin, who is probably best known for his designs of the 2008 Beijing Olympics mascots, and the monument is so big that there’s even an 8,000sqm museum inside it! Guan Yu lived during China’s turbulent Three Kingdoms period. He carried an axe-like weapon called a Green Dragon Crescent Blade, which has been immortalised with him as part of the statue. The only difference is that the weapon now weighs 136 tonnes! Did we mention this statue was epic?
