Tuesday 12-5-17: Cuphead, UFC Stream, Mega Man 11, FNaF 6, Darkest Dungeon DLC, A Hat Early in Time.

It’s Tuesday! That means I accidentally forgot to post on Monday again. once again, I’m sorry. the new FNaF game caught me by surprise, but more on that later. here’s the news from the last 3 days:

  • Cuphead Updates
  • Twitch Streamer broadcast a UFC fight
  • Mega Man 11?!
  • A new Five Nights at Freddy’s game??
  • Darkest Dungeon DLC
  • A Hat in Time released early

The Cupdate
Studio MDHR has recently released a new major update for their hit game, Cuphead. This update will include a number of changes to the game. This will include improvements to the game engine, as well as some gameplay modifications for fairness sake. This will cause some big uprooting to the Speedrunning scene. You can read the full list of changes at the Changelog posted on the developer’s website.

UFC Live Broadcast
Saturday night was the UFC 218 fight. To view this event, you had to purchase it via Pay Per View. One clever Twitch streamer decided to broadcast the fight on the video game oriented streaming service, Twitch. How did he not get stricken down for copyright claims? He held a controller and pretended to be playing the recently released, EA UFC 3. This allowed him to go under the radar from admins, by the time news of his exploits went nationwide, the fight was over, and his archived footage deleted. When asked if he is worried about repercussions, he stated that he doesn’t think Twitch will do anything. So far he’s right, no action has been taken by Twitch, UFC, or EA regarding the event. The streamer is called Lester_Gaming and can be found here.

Mega Man 11
That’s no joke, Mega Man 11 has been announced. Capcom recently released a trailer premiering the next in the line of Mega Man games for next year. The last game having released 7 years ago, was a retro homage to the classic series of NES games. Now they are taking is in a modern direction with updated graphics, sound, and design, while keeping the style true to the originals. More details will be released next year, for now, you can see the trailer for yourself here.

Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator
The next in the line of Five Nights at Freddy’s titles have been released. Creator of the series, Scott Cawthorn, had teased this previously, stating that he wouldn’t go an entire year without releasing something new. The game initially appears to be an 8-bit arcade game, where the player throws pizzas at kids. It doesn’t take long to discover what this really is. I played about 30 minutes of the game, which you can watch here. It’s an interesting combination of classic FNaF and a new creative spin, and I’m all for it. Best of all, its free! You can download the game at no cost on Steam.

Darkest Dungeon: Color of Madness
The dark and gritty RPG will be receiving another DLC pack after the vampiric success of their previous one, The Crimson Court. The Color of Madness is an HP Lovecraft style campaign where the player deals with a comet having fallen to earth. Full of cosmic horrors, the DLC will include a new wave-based mode, a new enemy faction, and a collection of new monsters, items, and powerful trinkets. You can see the announcement post for yourself here.

A Hat Earlier in Time
The Console release of the cute platformer was scheduled for December 6, tomorrow. In a surprise turn of events, the game has released tonight for the NA Playstation 4 Market. You can get the game now on American Playstation 4s for $29.99, and tomorrow for EU PS4 and Xbox One for the same price. What a fun little surprise.


Phew, lot’s of news. I’m excited about a fair bit of it. Thanks for reading, everyone. Check back tomorrow for the latest and greatest in video game news. otherwise, Have a great night!

Thursday 11-16-17: New ARMS Fighter, Dragonball FighterZ Fighters, and The Surge DLC

Thursday is upon us like Mothra upon Japan. For once its no bad news either. Nothing but announcements for new content. Such as:

  • ARMs gets a new fighter, Misango
  • Dragonball FighterZ confirms 3 fighters
  • The Surge Announces upcoming DLC

ARMs’ new fighter
Popular Nintendo fighting game, ARMs, released a trailer recently showing off their newest fighter, Misango. He appears to be inspired by Native American styling, with a new stage of the same sort. His theme is poison based, with his ARM options the same (my favorite is the scorpions for hands). He also can absorb a spirit to gain additional powers. This is part of the Version 4 update, which will be free to all players. Check out the trailer below.

 

Dragonball FighterZ
In a Japanese magazine, more details about the upcoming Dragonball game were revealed. Gotenks, Kid Buu, and Adult Gohan have now been confirmed as playable fighters. They also confirm a shop option where you can buy alternate colors for your characters and an Arcade Mode. You can see the scan of the magazine page, and read more information about it via the post I made about it on a different site. CLICK HERE FOR THAT.

The Surge: a Walk in the Park
The sci-fi RPG has announced their upcoming DLC. Here the player explores a broken down and corrupted amusement park full of hostile mascots and crazy rescue teams. The DLC will release alongside a “Complete Edition” of the game on December 5th. Admittedly I don’t know much about this game, but the trailer for it looks solid. I may need to check the full game out.


That’s all for tonight folks. I always enjoy a day with no bad news. Be sure to check back tomorrow for the latest and greatest in video game news. Otherwise, have a great night!
