It’s Memorial Day. I don’t have anything relevant planned for the news, but I’m not taking today off from said news, either. Here is that news.

GTA5 in Bloodborne because of Dark Souls
Xbox 360 has an Update
Owlboy is Coming to PS4

GTA Bloodborne Dark Souls

This is another instance of modders doing silly things with game files. When picking through the buried assets in the recently released Dark Souls: Remastered, modder Lance “Dropoff” Mcdonald discovered that test files contained a nearly accurate version of the Upper Cathedral Ward from another FROM Software game, Bloodborne. Through a bit of techno-magic, Dropoff managed to import the map into the GTA 5 engine, creating a video of Trevor walking/driving through the area. Modders also discovered the Boletaria level from Demon’s Souls within these same test files. This means that Bloodborne was being experimented with as a project as far back as the original Dark Souls game, and these leftover files carried over from them.

Xbox 360 Update

For the first time in two years, the Xbox 360 game console is getting an update. Simply listed as “bug fixes and improvements,” this update is the first one after Microsoft announced that they have discontinued the product. For this reason, others in the gaming community and I were assuming that they would also stop supporting the console. This may or may not be the final update, Microsoft hasn’t made any statements about it. Either way, you should update your 360 if you own one.

Owlboy for PS4

The popular indie game that was in development for seemingly forever is coming to another console tomorrow. Owlboy, by D-Pad Studio, is coming to PlayStation 4 on May 29 (tomorrow). No pricing has been confirmed at this time, so assume it will be $25, same as PC. The Owlboy website has posted links to the various outlets where you can buy a physical copy of the game for PS4, though they link to dead pages at this time. The site graphic also indicates that it will be available for Xbox One at some point in the future. PlayStation posted an “action trailer” to commemorate the event.

Thursday 3-1-18: Brigitte Lindholm, Wreck-It Ralph, and GTA Trademarks

In daily update, News

I forgot Wednesday again. It’s not like I didn’t do work, I just straight up forgot. I’m sorry. Here’s the news.

Overwatch’s Newest Hero
Wreck-It Ralph 2 Trailer
Grand Theft Auto Trademark

Her Name is Brigitte Lindholm

The next addition to Overwatch’s hero roster has been announced. Brigitte Lindholm, the daughter of Tobjorn, is a tanky support character. She provides health and armor to her teammates, while still being an effective defensive character. Personally, I think she’s already my favorite. You can see her list of abilities, as well as her intro video and a dev talk about her with my news post about her.

Ralph Breaks The Internet

The first trailer for the upcoming Pixar sequel has been released. And with it, the premise of the movie. Ralph and small-candy-girl travel to the internet thanks to a new wifi in the arcade. To be honest, it reminds me a bit too much of the Emoji movie. I don’t need another film trying to be culturally hip and with it. So this one has me uneasy. You can watch it yourself here.

GTA Online Logo

Take-Two, the publishers for Grand Theft Auto, has recently filed a trademark for a new logo. The logo is the phrase “GTa O” in a font strikingly similar to that of GTA2. This has fans guessing what they’re planning. Frankly, I have no idea. Time will tell though. You can see comparison shots and links to the file submission here.

Thanks for reading, everyone. Check back tomorrow for more news and stuff of that nature. Otherwise, have a great night!

Wednesday 12-13-17: Frank Ocean, Predator, and Fez iOS

In daily update, News

Its Wednesday and boy are my arms tired. Here’s the news:

Frank Ocean is a GTA: Online DJ
Predator is in Ghost Recon: Wildlands
Fez in on iOS

Grand Theft Ocean
Grand Theft Auto: Online has a new update called “Doomsday Heist” that features a number of weirdly high tech items. But this news post isn’t about that, it’s about the new radio station that will also be coming with this update. Blonded Los Santos 97.8 FM is a new radio station heavily inspired by Frank Oceans most recent album, Blonde. And it better be! The DJ of this new station is Frank Ocean himself! Be sure to check out the station full of new tunes when you can

Ghost Recon: Predator
A new event is coming for Ghost Recon: Wildlands. Starting on December 14 and going until early January, players can participate in the hunt for the most dangerous game, Predator. The classic movie antagonist has become your newest target. This event will also include new content for you to enjoy, such as a wrist blade, a Predator helmet, and a new PVP class inspired by everyone’s favorite muscle man. Be sure to check it out tomorrow. Until then, you can watch the announcement trailer for the event here.

Fez on iOS
Remember that neat puzzle platformer from 2013? At long last, it has been ported to iOS. This isn’t the most surprising news, as the port was teased earlier this year. The game was made by Phil Fish, which some may remember as the guy who got into a heated argument with a journalist that prompted him to cancel the Fez sequel and retire from development. Either way, you can now get Fez on iOS for $4.99.

That’s all the news for today, be sure to check back tomorrow for the latest and greatest in gaming news. Otherwise, have a great night!
