Tropico 6 Delayed Until March

We all know I am a huge fan of the Tropico series and love Kalypso Media. They have supplied me with a few games, in fact. So it is both sad and refreshing to see they delayed Tropico 6 because they feel the game isn’t as good as it should be. Gameinformer has more info, but the short version is Simon Hellwig, owner, and director, says while he played many hours of the game and he likes it that isn’t enough, he wants to love it. So while waiting sucks, we will have to wait until March to take a stab at being a dictator. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen To The Switch

Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen has been around awhile, to say the least. 2012 I believe, on the Xbox 360 and PS3. It also ended up on PC, PS4 and One X as Dark Arisen the same game and all of its DLC. Now come this April the owners of the Nintendo Switch will get the chance to enjoy it. Check the trailer out, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Alien: Blackout trailer

Shit. Just Shit… It’s a rare feat to have my hopes crash and burn in less than a minute than the unfortunate news Alien: Blackout is going to be a mobile game. Supposedly there is a main PC/ console game in the works but Blackout is going to pretty much be FNAF with the Xenomorph. With 2019 being the 40 year anniversary of the original Alien, we are getting a new graphic novel, this game, and something else to be determined so needless to say, along with most of the Alien fan base, I’m pretty pissed. There’s going to be Amanda Ripley but it isn’t going to supposedly be a Alien: Isolation sequel which blows and after the disappointment of Alien: Covenant , the anniversary of a sci-fi horror legend seems to be going as a whimper sadly. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

PS4 Passes 90 Million Units Sold — BeardedGamer82 Gaming Blog

PS4 Passes 90 Million Units Sold Kenichiro Yoshida, CEO of Sony, announced at Sony’s Press Conference at CES that the PS4 has sold 91.6 million consoles. These sales numbers were helped by a strong 2018 holiday season which saw 5.6 million consoles sold. This is a phenomenal number which skyrocketed it further from Xbox 360 […]

This should surprise nobody at this point as the PS4 has been a powerhouse in the sales department for years now, and most likely 2019 will be the year the console tops the 100 million mark. Not only that it may very well surpass the Wii and original PlayStation. Tho the PS2 and it’s 155 million is most likely out of reach with talk of the PlayStation floating around. Regardless, not too shabby. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Possible Fantastic Four Video Game Teased

In a sentence I thought I would never type, or maybe hoped since I personally am not a fan, Comicbook.com is reporting that Marvel is teasing a Fantastic Four video game. Feel free to check the link for all the details but for me, this just seems like a bad idea with much of the goodwill with fans outside the comic world seemingly lost with the atrocity that is the Fantastic Four movies.

That isn’t to say a game with them can’t be good, I can imagine smashing away as The Think or burning the world up with The Human Torch. I just can’t in good conscience think hey this will be good after having sat through the movies, and while yes the game clearly will be made by someone else entirely I just can’t be excited by this idea. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Some Lord Of The Rings Games Removed From Digital Stores

Gamespot, as well as others, are reporting that Lego: The Lord of the Rings and Lego: The Hobbit have been removed from digital stores possibly due to licensing rights expiring. Unlike games like Middle Earth: Shadow of War the lego games contain music and dialogue from the actual movies which could be why they were removed. Either way, they are gone possibly forever. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Fromsoftware Working on Two Unannounced Games

It was recently announced by Dark Souls director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, that Fromsoftware is, in fact, working on not one but two totally unannounced games, both of which are the type of game people expect from them. He also took the time to say the Bloodborne Easter eggs in Deracine were simply that, Easter eggs and have no hidden meaning.

This had lead to much speculation, are we getting Bloodborne 2 and one person I saw even suggested this means we are getting both Bloodborne 2 and Dark Soul 4. I don’t think we will be getting both, but I will say I honestly believe one of the two games is either Dark Souls 4 or Bloodborne 2. I Don’t think it is both, but both games would sell an insane amount of copies and with Bloodborne coming out in 2015 and Dark Souls 3 coming out in 2016 now would be as good a time as any for the return of those series. And since Bloodborne was 2015 and we did just get a Dark Souls Remaster, I would bet on Bloodborne. Either way, it will be interesting. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Dragon Quest 11 Coming to Switch, at Least in Japan

Porygon has reported that Dragon Quest 11 will be getting some upgrades and be released onto the Nintendo Switch. Fair warning tho, that link does contain a spoiler so please don’t read it without knowing that up front. It does list some of the changes but some of the changes also include a spoiler. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Super Smash Sells Fast, Surprising Nobody

As the titles states and as reported by Polygon and many others the new Super Smash game is the fastest selling in the series on the fastest selling console of this generation, and it should surprise absolutely nobody. Smash is the most popular fighting game in a system that has had very few and is full of the most popular characters gaming has ever seen. With the following, the series has and with the fact that the Switch is quickly catching up to the Xbox One which has been out far longer the only surprise would be if this didn’t sell more. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
