Monster Hunter Iceborne
Well here we are, Capcom delivered the news they promised at the Gaming Awards to Monster Hunter fans and it was HUGE. People thought everything from new monsters, to new hunter gear levels, to new areas a few speculated it was simply a new crossover event. They were all right, and there was so much more. First, the newest crossover event coming early 2019 is Geralt of Rivia. Yes, Witcher 3 is coming Monster Hunter world, fully voiced and with full cooperation from CD Projekt Red. Some of you simply wanted a new event monster? Well soon, (December 19th until January 3rd) you can tackle arch tempered Kulva Torath. Not good enough? Come spring arch tempered Nergigante.
Now I know I know, what else? Come Autumn, a full-fledged expansion. It will have a new story that takes place after the MHW base game, will over a new rank (on past games known as G Rank) Now if all that isn’t enough, nothing will be. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
My Thoughts On The 2018 Game Awards
As we all know the 2018 Game Awards were this past Thursday, with Red Dead Redemption 2 and God of War winning many awards including to my surprise God Of War winning Game of the year. This isn’t a bad thing by any means, it is a great game and very much deserving of the win.
The show itself was kind of hit and miss for me with the music section and a few of the guest being almost cringed worthy at times. That is really just my personal opinion, after all, us gamers aren’t exactly known for our outgoing and social personalities.
There were plenty of great premieres such as Mortal Kombat 11.
The huge surprise and win for Nintendo tho was the world premiere of Nintendo Exclusive Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3.
This to me was the big takeaway from it all, that not only is Nintendo chasing more mature games like Doom and Diablo it is chasing high profile exclusives. And that to me is a great thing. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
New Tony Hawk, On Mobile
People have been begging for a new Tony Hawk skateboarding game for years ever since the disaster that was Tony Hawk 5, and on December 13th you will get that dream. Sadly, it will be on mobile devices. According to Polygon it will follow the same formula of skating through parks and such for high scores but this time on the go. Time will tell how good this turns out, but really it can’t be worse than Five can it? Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Unreal Tournament and an Unreal Wait
Sadly, as reported by Variety Unreal Tournament while not dead isn’t being actively worked on or developed and hasn’t received an update since 2017. The cause is understandable considering they are using those people and resources to produce Fortnight which is a cash cow for Epic Games but many fans are quite obviously feeling betrayed and let down. Unreal Tournament has had a large and loyally following for decades and is now being tossed aside.
That being said, how can anyone be surprised? Love it or hate it Fortnight has become bigger than anyone has ever dreamed and has struck a cord even outside of gaming itself with many rappers and athletes joining streams to play it, so how could they not focus on it? This understanding, however, doesn’t make it any less frustrating for many sadly. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory,
Elite Dangerous Beyond Chapter 4: Release Date
After a long wait, Beyond, Chapter 4 finally has a release date. December 11th to be exact, as reported by Eurogamer. As many of you are aware I have a long history with this game and have spent many hours simply exploring. This update most likely will bring that back. Hope to see you out there, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Blizzard Publically States New Diablo Products to be Revealed in 2019
Variety has reported that Blizzard has posted in their official forums that in 2019 they will reveal new Diablo products, tho they would rather show than tell and as such are waiting until things are a bit further along than they currently are. This seems pretty normal but many people feel it is nothing more than a PR stunt over the anger over Diablo Immortal that has many fans upset. Personally, I am interested in trying it, but we will see what the future brings. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Alien Blackout Could Be Revealed Soon
Variety and many others are reporting that 20th Century Fox has trademarked the name Alien: Blackout. There have also been some hints that maybe it will be announced at the gaming awards in December. Either way, this should be good news for Alien fans, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Alien: Blackout trademarked
I can’t say there’s many games I’m looking forward to many games in the near future but when it was announced Fox trademarked “Alien: Blackout”, a new game somewhere in the Alien universe. While I highly doubt it’s going to be set after Alien: Covenant , I personally think it would freshen up the Xenomorph in games if we saw some aspects of the prequels involved like the black ooze and the mutations they bring. I wouldn’t be angry if the Neomorph made another appearance in the series. Another thing that would be awesome if some of the Kenner toy designs made an appearance as a new means of enemy types.
Essentially what I want from Blackout is nothing from Aliens: Colonial Marines ; I want a game with challenging, varied Aliens, a good story, and a some good action. While I love Alien: Isolation I do think the next step would be to show how intense a gun fight with a Alien can be. We have a long wait ahead but I can’t wait to see we get. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Another Bloodborne 2 Rumor
If you want to read the full story, check out Express.co.uk. The short version is as copied from the article.
Deracine features an item referred to as the Fiona Doll, which contains an interesting nod to Bloodborne.
The item description reads: “A doll of the stone girl Fiona, who appears in the unfinished tale.
“When a person has a bad dream, Fiona appears and helps them flee.”
The doll is also performing the ‘Make Contact’ gesture, which suggests that the Bloodborne tale isn’t over.
Perhaps we’ll see a Bloodborne 2 reveal during The Game Awards on December 7.
Before anyone gets too excited it should be noted that these rumors come around much like New Years, E3 or @torstenvblog sex life. It comes around every year or so and there is nothing you can do about it but at the end of the day it is usually not that special. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
