Friday 5-11-18: Crash Early, Vampyr Specs, Sea of Thieves

Whoowee what a week. I’m keeping on that grind. Here’s the news.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy to Launch Early
Vampyr’s Recommended Specs
Sea of Thieves Update


Premature eCrashulation


In a blog post by Activision, the publisher announced that the Xbox One/Switch/PC port of the Crash Bandicoot remaster will no longer be releasing on July 10, but on June 29 instead. That’s a solid two weeks early. So that’s cool.

Vampyr Specs


The highly anticipated RPG from DONTNOD Entertainment, the creators of Life is Strange, is edging ever closer to launch. NVIDIA recently announced the necessary specs for various quality settings and resolutions, and its a touch steep. The minimum system specs call for a GeForce 1050 GPU and an i3-2130 CPU. You’ll essentially need the latest models of both hardware parts if you want 4k 60FPS. I hope your PCs are up to the task. For a full spec list, you can visit the blog post.

Sea of Thieves Update


The developers continue to work at improving the seafaring pirate game. In a recent Dev update, they tell the players about some incoming changes. It starts with the reassurance that the upcoming DLC is going well. Then it goes into what to expect soon. Changes include the ability to share bananas, planks, and other items, adjusted cosmetic items, and hidden Gamertags when underwater. They wanted to add the ability to invite strangers to you crew mid game, but the technicalities of such have slown them down.


Thank you, everyone. Your viewership is always appreciated. We have a new episode of The Cozy Co-op Podcast up, it’s about Mega Man. Tune in Monday for the next news post. Otherwise, have a great weekend.

Monday 2-5-18: Space Hulk, Assassin’s Creed Hacked, Monster Hunter Rankings, Crash Bandicoot Rumors, and Overgrowth Reviews

Monday is upon us, and with it a weekend of news. Here is that news.

  • Blood Bowl Creators Announced Space Hulk: Tactics
  • Hackers Crack Assassin’s Creed: Origins
  • Monster Hunter: Worlds Top Ranked on Xbox
  • Rumors Spread of Crash Bandicoot Port/New Game
  • Overgrowth Review


Space Hulk: Tactics
Remember Blood Bowl? That nifty turn-based strategy game styled like a fantasy football match? Well the creators of that, Cyanide Studio, have announced that they are making a new Space Hulk game. This game, originally based on a board game, is a turn-based strategy game based on the Warhammer 40K universe, where space marines are clearing out giant asteroids inhabited by hostile life. This new game will not just look amazing but feature multiple campaigns, modes, and factions to choose from, complete with online multiplayer. You can see more details about it on the Official Website.


Assassin’s Crack: Origins
It’s taken popular hacker group CPY 3 months to crack the most recent Assassin’s Creed game. The title had not 1, but 3 different anti-tampering systems in place to keep the game from being pirated, and the delay is a result of that. These systems are most important during a game’s initial launch, so Ubisoft might patch the game to remove them, but its unlikely. It goes to show, no game is uncrackable.


Rankings Hunter: Xbox
The popular dino-destroying RPG has been all the buzz since its release 10 days ago. In this time, it has managed to become the number 1 spot on Xbox’s Top Paid games list, beating out PUBG. This is an incredible achievement. Even more so, in the small times, it’s been out, its already reached 7th place on Xbox’s Most Played list. Give it a few weeks and I’m sure it’ll make its way to the top there as well. Keep in mind that this is purely for Xbox and doesn’t count PS4 sales, and PC’s eventual sales, when it releases this autumnal season.


N.Sane Returns
In the most recent issue of Licensing Source Book Europe, Max Arguile, The seeds of rumors and begun to sow for Crash Bandicoot. Max Arguile, Licensing Manager for licensed merchandising company BG Eye, remarked on Crash Bandicoot and its licensed position in the next few years. He claims that Activision has a 5-year plan, and tells us to expect not only a Switch and PC for of the N.Sane Trilogy but a new Crash game in the following year. It hasn’t been confirmed how accurate this source of information is, but I am recording it for prosperity. Who knows, he may be right.


Overgrowth
I’ve finished a new review this weekend. This time it was for Overgrowth, an action RPG about anthropomorphic animals. You can read the full details of the review here.


Thanks for reading, everyone. Expect to see another review by me here shortly. I’ll give you a hint of what it’s about, just open up your eyes to the extreme possibility. Be sure to check back tomorrow for more of the latest and greatest in video game news. Otherwise, have a great night!
