I both overslept, and feel lethargic. Good start to a day. Here’s the news.

  • Rage 2 Will Not Have Loading Screens
  • Minecraft Update Aquatic
  • Subnautica is Coming to PS4
Rage 2 Loading Screens


In the original Rage, there was an unfortunate disconnect from having to transition between open world driving and first-person combat. This was only made worse by the loading screens between them. id’s Tim Willits spoke about this issue in the Official PlayStation Magazine, reassuring us that it won’t be a problem with the sequel.

“It was the wasteland, and you then loaded another level, and then you were in your first-person combat. Well, that’s all gone now. You’re just in the game. Everything is seamless, and together, and you can engage in combat the way you want. The promise of Rage is delivered in Rage 2.”

Minecraft Update Aquatic


I don’t know why its called that, and not “Aquatic update.” Either way, the major update to the world’s most popular video game has arrived on Windows 10, VR, mobile devices, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. The Java version of the game will update on July 18 with the same content. This update is all about the water, ocean, and all that. This includes new underwater buildings like sunken ships, new mobs like sea turtles and zombies called “drowned,” and new blocks and items. The list of changes is rather large. I recommend checking the changelog wiki page.

Subnautica for PS4


As the title implies, the popular alien ocean survival game is coming to the PlayStation 4. It came with an announcement trailer, stating a timeframe of “Holiday 2018.” That’s all we know so far. Here’s hoping it comes with PSVR support.

A majority of the news was water based, neat. Tune in tomorrow for more video game news. Otherwise, have a great day!

In daily update, News

It’s that darn Tuesday again, comin’ in thinking he’s so cool. Here’s the news.

  • Subnautica Sound Director Fired For Hateful Behavior
  • Red Dead Redemption 2 Leak
  • Viz Media Video Game Publishing
Sub-not-ica


The popular underwater survival game encountered a touch of controversy recently. The game’s sound designer, Simon Chylinski, has a long history of sexist, racist, and transphobic remarks on his Twitter profile. When this was brought to light, developers Unknown Worlds decided to let him go, stating that he “made many hateful statements online that are against our company values. ” I read a few comments and I agree, they’re better off without him.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Leaks


Gaming website TrustedReviews.com recently released a major leak for Rockstar’s upcoming wild west RPG. According to the site, they’ve had this information since September of last year, but held off on releasing the info until the could better verify its authenticity. The leak remarks on a number of features, most notably of which is a Battle Royale multiplayer mode. Like always, take any and all leaks with a grain of salt. You can read the full leak details in their post.

Viz Media, More than Manga


Major Japanese-American publishing company Viz Media has announced that they will be entering the video game publishing scene. Their first title will be Rose City Games’ The World Next Door. Viz Media stated that they want to focus on story-driven games and that developers are welcome to inquire. The World Next Door is the story of a teenage girl in a magical world. So far all we know about the game is the Key Art, as seen above. There is no release window at this time.

Thank you, everyone, for tuning in. I apologize if today’s is later than normal, it been a busy day. I have something I will be announcing soon, once I’m sure it’s a solid thing, so stick around. I’m very excited for it. Check back tomorrow for another in an infinite plan to post the news. Otherwise, have a great night!

Wednesday 1-24-18: Subnautica Launch, EVE Battle Bust, and Arizona Sunshine

In daily update, News

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

  • Subnautica Leaves Early Access
  • EVE: Online Battle Results
  • Arizona Sunshine Review


Subnautica Launch
That open world ocean survival game has finally left early access and with that comes a big number of fantastic improvements to the game. For those not familiar with the game, check out their new and improved webpage. Subnautica can be found on Steam for $24.99.


Million Dollar Bust
Yesterday I reported on an upcoming EVE: Online battle that was expected to cost over a million dollars. That battle has now taken place, and the final asset toll tallies up to… $4,000. The battle came up extremely short. This was because 6,000 players arrived at the scene to take place in the expected onslaught. The game servers simply couldn’t handle this much, which caused many players’ games to crash and connections to be lost. So none of the big, expensive plans took place. This is certainly a shame.


Arizona Sunshine
I published a new article on my site, here. It’s a review of the VR shooter, Arizona Sunshine. It’s an amazing game that was ruined by a single flaw. I’ve had this review sitting for months, and it’s been revised numerous times. I wanted to make sure it came out as high quality as it could be. Be sure to check it out.

Thanks for reading. Not much news today. Be sure to check back tomorrow for more up-to-date happenings in the blogosphere. #fleek am I right fellow kids? As always, have a great night!
