I made eggs this morning. That isn’t video game related, I just didn’t know how to start this one. Here’s the news.

  • Fortnite to Invest $100m in Tournaments
  • Yakuza 3, 4, 5 to be Remastered
  • Rec Room Battle Royale
Fortnite Tournaments


In a recent announcement by Epic Games, Fortnite will be dedicating $100,000,000 towards Fortnite competitions held in the 2018-2019 season. That’s all they said, but it’s still a mind-boggling number all the same. Hows your Fortnite skills.

Yakuza Remasters


According to the latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation, Yakuza 3, 4, and 5 will be remastered in Japan. The Japanese magazine states that a Yakuza 3 remaster is expected to release on PS4 in Japan on August 9 for 3,990 yen, Yakuza 4 in fall of 2018, and Yakuza 5 in spring 2019. The announcement also made it’s way to Famitsu, who provided further details. According to them, the remasters will be the same as the originals, but running at 1080p resolution and at 60 frames per second.

Rec Room Battle Royale


In a recent announcement by developers Against Gravity, popular social VR game Rec Room will be receiving a battle royale mode.

“Rec Royale launches on Thursday, 7th June and will pit 16 players against each other in the wilds of a national park. The landscape holds summer camps, mountains, forests, outposts, ravines, lakes, and tons of loot for scavenging,” said Shawn, an Against Gravity employee.

They also will be updating their inventory system to better support the mode. What with all the loot and such. I’m actually pretty excited about this one. I love Rec Room, when it’s not lousy with children.

That’s all for today. Join me tomorrow for further news and such. Find me on Steam if you want to become Rec Room Battle Royale Bros. Otherwise, have a great day.

Tuesday 5-8-18: Fortnite: Infinity Wars, Kinect Usage, and Pokemon Go Fest

By

On May 8, 2018

In daily update, News

Not much news going on today. It’s mostly just things I didn’t report on yesterday, to be honest. Here is that news.

  • Fortnite/Infinity War Promotional Mashup
  • The Kinect Lives On
  • Pokemon Go Fest is Back
Fortnite: Infinity Wars


The popular battle royale game has it’s first licensed promotional event, called the “Infinity Gauntlet Limited Time Mashup.” Here’s how it works.

When you enter a the solo-only game mode, a meteor will fall within the safe zone. This meteor will have the Infinity Gauntlet. Whoever claims the gauntlet first will transform into Thanos. Should Thanos be defeated in battle, they will drop the gauntlet, leaving it ripe for the picking by someone else.

The Kinect


Microsoft recently announced that the Kinect technology will live on in a project called Azure. This will integrate the hardware into their cloud computing system for the development of better AI. They also stated that a new generation connect will help provide a better HoloLens experience. To be honest, it’s all a bit out of my scope, So you may want to read this article if you want a better understanding of what’s it’s all about.

Pokemon Go Fest 2: The Refestening


Despite the otherwise disaster of last year’s Pokemon Go Fest, developer Niantic has announced that they’re doing it again. Taking place in Chicago from July 14 to July 15. Pokémon GO Fest 2018: A Walk in the Park is already in the works for those wanting to attend. A representative has stated that while it’s a two-day event, players can only purchase one day. This is to promote more people from being able to participate in the events and festivities. You can find more information about this on their website.

That’s all for today. Thanks for reading! Check back tomorrow for more news, views, and some jazzy blues (not really). Otherwise, have a great day!

The update will come with a flurry of content additions, and a promise for VR support toward the latter end of May. Congratulations EndNight Games!

Fortnite Comet Conclusion


I previously reported on weirdness with Comets at Fortnite. While I predicted the conclusion would come May 4, it seems that it happened today. Epic Games released an announcement trailer for the next season of the game. The trailer shows a meteor shower ending in one noticeably large comet crashing down, and cracking when players came to investigate. I told y’all it would be a season 4 thing.

Thursday 4-19-18: Battlefield Royale, Fornite Comet, and GO Spoofer Bans

By

On April 19, 2018

In daily update, News

Doing news in the morning is really working well for me. It’s much easier to do regularly this way. Here’s the news.

  • Battlefield V Battle Royale
  • Fortnite Comet Rituals
  • Pokemon Go Spoofers
Battlefield Royale


According to an anonymous source at VentureBeat, developer DICE is currently working on creating a battle royale game mode (akin to Fortnite and PUBG) for their most recent Battlefield game. EA has declined for comment about it, so take it with a grain of salt. I wouldn’t put it past EA, though.

Fornite Final Coming


Fortnite players have been donning their tin foil hats recently when a strange looking comet has been gradually growing over a central area known as Tilted Towers. At first, it was just a weird site, but players are reporting more as of late. Some have seen an abundance of shooting stars in the area, others have noticed that telescopes have appeared on the game map at Tilted Towers. Some players have noted that when in the area, their controllers vibrate to say “SOSD5418” in Morse code. Since Tilted Towers is set in location D5, people believe this means the comet will crash on the spot on 4-18, yesterday. I think it might also mean 5-4-18, or May 4, 2018, which would be in about two weeks. Since the current Fortnite season is space themed, it’s possible that the comet will act as a dramatic closing. We will see. Stay tuned.

Pokemon Go Spoofers


According to the Pokemon Go community, developers Niantic have banned a large number of location spoofers for iOS devices. Spoofing communities have been in an uproar, reporting the game as 1 star, as well as the game HQ on Google Maps. As someone who’s been strong-armed out of gyms immediately by spoofers on many occasions, I’m happy to see progress being made to stop these people.

The podcast is going great! New episode tomorrow morning, this time about To the Moon. More information on that here. Be sure to check back tomorrow for the latest game news. Otherwise, have a great night!

Stay tuned as this story develops.
