Welcome back to the modern grind. It’s Monday, and here’s the news.

  • Shenmue 3’s AI Combat System
  • Halo: Infinite Doesn’t Support Xbox Play Anywhere
Shenmue 3 AI Combat


The Kickstarter for the long, long-awaited RPG has hit the 7 million funded mark. This means the “AI Battling” tier has been unlocked. This new feature will “automatically unleash the perfect technique in response to the opponent’s positioning and distance.” This is intended to feel the full immersion of combat, without needing to be good, or even familiar, with fighting games. Sounds cool, I look forward to it.

Xbox Play Here


Discovered by NeoGAF user DynamiteCop!, Halo: Infinite doesn’t appear on the Xbox Play Anywhere support list. The game page shows that it’s coming to Xbox and PC, supports 4K and HDR, and will have additional enhancements for the Xbox One X. This is curious, considering that Gears of War 5 appears on the Play Anywhere list.

That’s all for today, Tune in tomorrow for another day of news, video games, and such in between. Otherwise, have a great day!

Busy week, that’s for sure. Here’s the news.

  • Metal Gear Solid in Bomberman R
  • Overwatch has a Hamster Character
  • Shenmue 3 Requires 100GB

In a recent update to Super Bomberman R, four new characters have joined the explosive fray. Solid Snake, Naked Snake and Raiden are now playable characters in the game. They even come with a new stage based on Mother Base. The fourth character is actually a bombermanification of Pro wrestler Xavier Woods. The wrestler even voices the character. The update is now live, but some it may not have appeared on the Nintendo Switch yet.

Hammond the Overwatch Hamster


Blizzard-Activision announced their latest character addition to the Overwatch roster, and it’s a hamster. Hammond rolls around in a giant mechanical ball of destruction, which is why his alias is called Wrecking Ball. The best part, in my opinion, is that he has an origin story. Hammond is a hyper-intelligent hamster developed in the same lab that Winston was. Hammond used his smarts to escape the lab via a wrecking ball style shuttle. Upon crashing by a place called Junktown, he engineered his own battle mech and became a local champion.

Shenmue 3 is Large


A recent update to the Shenmue 3 Kickstarter has revealed what the PC specs for the game will be. While they’re fairly understandable, folks have noticed a surprisingly large space requirement of 100 GB. I get that larger game sizes are part of the evolution of media, but oof, that’s big.

That’s all for today. I look forward to taking it easy this weekend. Tune in Monday for the next news post. Check out our latest podcast episode while you wait, it’s about Hammerwatch. Otherwise, have a great weekend.
