Welcome back from the weekend. Here’s the news.

  • Sega Announces Sonic Mania Plus
  • Sega Teases Sonic Racing Game
  • Epic Releases Paragon Assets for Free
Sonic Mania Plus


A new version of last winter’s retro sonic game has been announced by the game company. This version will include new game modes and even two new characters. Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel. They’re some deep digs towards SegaSonic the Hedgehog, a 1993 arcade game. This version will also come with a physical release. Look forward to this in the summer.

Sonic Racing Game


Sega also released a teaser video. It appears to tease a new Sonic Racing game. I admit it has me kind of excited. You can watch it for yourself here.

Free Paragon Assets


Since Paragon, Epic Games’ failed MOBA never saw it’s way to launch, the game developer has found another way to let it live on. They have now released the assets for their 20 characters on the Unreal Development Marketplace. We’re talking models, textures, sounds, animations, you name it. I’m calling it now, porn will be made with these.

Thanks for reading, everyone! I’m very excited for Sea of Thieves’ release tonight at midnight. I’m very bummed I have work tomorrow and can’t stay up all night playing. Hopefully, the trolls won’t be too bad. Check back tomorrow for more news. Otherwise, have a great night!

Tuesday 1-30-18: Facebook Streaming, Paragon Closing, This Is The Police 2, and Anthem Delays

In daily update, News

It’s Tuesday and I didn’t post yesterday! I’m sorry, I was just too excited to play more Monster Hunter. Here’s the news over the last few days.

  • Facebook Livestream Monetization
  • Paragon to Close Down
  • This Is The Police 2
  • Anthem Delays Until 2019


Facebook Streamer Support
In an effort to make Facebook a more viable live streaming platform (ha), the social media site has announced a new program called the “Gaming Creator Pilot program.” This program will allow viewers to send the streamer a real-money tip. Think of it like the Bits on Twitch. Personally, this doesn’t make Facebook any more viable than Twitch or Youtube, or even Mixer. Regardless, interested individuals can apply for the program here.


Para-Gone
Epic Games’ unpopular MOBA hasn’t done well, apparently bad enough that they’re shutting it down. Epic released a statement that the game didn’t quite reach what they wanted and they will be pulling the plug. The apologized for letting the fans down. Epic has also stated that they will be issuing refunds to all their players via their Epic account. Its unfortunate to see a major project be put to rest.


This Is The Police is Back
THQ Nordic announced a new game. Its a sequel to their previous game, This Is The Police. Much like before, you are a sheriff who has to manage your police force while solving the weird things happening in the small, cold, crime-ridden town you work in. The game will be available for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC later this year. More details can be found about it here.


Anthem Delays, Not Behind Schedule
According to Wall Street Journal reporter Sarah E. Needleman, EA has announced that Anthem will be delayed back to early 2019. They made an exclusive point to say that this is not because development is behind schedule, but that they want to release a new Battlefield game in October, and pushing Anthem back would be better for the game’s sales.

Thanks for reading. I’m considering moving the daily update posts to the mornings instead of it being the last thing I do in the day. Pros: you won’t be reading yesterday’s news every day. Cons: if something newsworthy happens in the evening, it won’t be reported on until tomorrow. Let me know if you guys have any input on this.
Otherwise, have a great night!
