Monday 12-11-17: Soulcalibur 6, Vacation Simulator, Fornite 50v50, Besiege, Mega Man Monster Hunter, and MediEvil

The weekend is over and boy do we have news. It’s gonna be a long post today, so buckle up and get some cocoa. Here’s what we have:

  • Soulcalibur VI Announced
  • Vacation Simulator Announced
  • Fornite: Battle Royale has 50 vs 50 Mode
  • Besiege gets Multiplayer and Level Editor
  • Mega Man in Monster Hunter
  • MediEvil is returning as a remaster

Soulcalibur VI
It’s been 6 years since we have seen a new Soulcalibur game, and now Bandai Namco has announced the next in the line. Due to release sometime next year, little is known about the game based on what we have seen. The trailer does tease a new fighter, however, one wielding a bladed quarterstaff style weapon (think Darth Maul’s lightsaber). You can see the trailer for yourself here.

Vacation Simulator
The creators of the hit VR game, Job Simulator, have created a spin-off about going on vacation. Vacation Simulator was revealed by Owlchemy Labs at the recent PSX. All we see is the player relaxing in the beach waters, Though there will undoubtedly be a variety of vacations the player can embark on. You can see the trailer for yourself here.

Fornite 50v50
Fornite gained a fair bit of attention when they released a free game mode called Battle Royale. Coasting on the fame of PUBG, this mode had 100 players combating to be the last one alive. Now there is a new variation to this mode called 50 Versus 50. As the name suggests, it splits those 100 people in half and pits them off against each other. You can heal anyone on your team, and cannot hurt them. The catch? The mode is only available until December 17. You can watch the trailer for it here.

Besiege With Friends
A recent update for Besiege has introduced 2 new features, Multiplayer and Level Editor. As the first one implies, you can now have 2 friends join you in your game. They will have their own section to build their own machine, as you cooperatively take on the levels challenging. The other is Level Editor. Now you can create and customize your own levels. build walls, landscapes, and AIs to your whim. The update is free, and you can get Besiege on Steam for $7.99.

Mega Man in Monster Hunter
In a promotional effort for next year’s Mega Man 11, the upcoming Monster Hunter: Worlds game will have an optional outfit for your felyne companion. The outfit will drop up your partner in a retro poly style recreation of Mega Man. This will also change the game’s music to various Mega Man tunes, depending on which weapon you select. Monster Hunter: Worlds released next month, with Mega Man 11 on the late end of that year.

MediEvil Rises From the Dead
The classic PS2 game, MediEvil, will be getting a remaster. The game will have improved graphics and 4K support on PlayStation 4 Pro. Unfortunately, that’s about all we know right now. Check out the (pretty vague) announcement trailer for it here.


Jeez, that was a lot of news. PlayStation Experience happened over the weekend, attributing to most of this. Thanks for reading everyone. I appreciate your patience with the days I don’t post. Check back tomorrow for more of the best in video games. Otherwise, have a great night!

thelizardrock daily news tuesday

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!
