New MediEvil Off-Screen Gameplay Game XP 2019

Voxel, a Brazilian news site, has recently posted several small clips of off screen gameplay of the new MediEvil remake available to play at XP 2019 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

 

Here is a brief summary of the game via the PlayStation Store:

”Re-live the original adventure on PlayStation®4. The beloved fan-favorite has been completely remade from the grave up, blending classic gameplay with stunning visuals, all in eye-popping 4K!

Step into the bones of Sir Daniel Fortesque, a slightly-inept (and long dead) knight accidentally resurrected by his greatest enemy, the evil sorcerer Zarok. With a second chance to foil his greatest foe, Dan will once again set out to save the kingdom of Gallowmere and earn his place as a true hero.”

MediEvil is slated for an October 25th release date exclusively for the PlayStation 4.

Sothis, Rhea and Jeralt leaked as playable units for Fire Emblem: Three Houses Expansion Pass!

Nintendo‘s latest strategy JRPG sure has been making a lot of noise for the past two weeks, we even reviewed it ourselves and we totally share the same level of excitement. The game shines in many aspects, especially on the unit side of things. Being able to create genuine bonds with your students brings heavy emotional weight once you are on the battlefield. The fear of losing said students is as real as it gets. However, Fire Emblem hasn’t exactly allowed us to bring and play as everybody on the battlefield…at least, yet.

A Youtuber by the name of DeathChaos data-mined the expansion pass DLC and leaked Sothis, Jeralt and Rhea as playable units. The video shows different quotes, attacks, and even models for all three. It even contains voice lines for things such as leveling up and skill mastery or weapon rank up, showing that they are not only mere NPCs. And when it comes to Sothis, her model actually shows up on the battlefield. The waves also contain more side stories for Sothis, Jeralt and Rhea. Nothing has been found on a possible Death Knight route as of right now.

We are now entering speculation territory but my guess would be playable routes for Jeralt and Rhea that fletches out their characters even more.

We, however still don’t have any release dates but that expansion pass sure does seem meaty in content. Stay tuned for more info.

Gears 5 has gone gold, reveal coming soon

Gears 5, the upcoming third-person shooter, has officially gone gold. This means the game is in a ready to ship state, now moving on to the manufacturing process. This state is huge for both the game and developer The Coalition, and we congratulate the team on this achievement. The team “couldn’t be more excited to share Gears 5 with the world.” and can’t wait for the September 6th release date (for Game Pass subscribers and Ultimate Edition owners).

To go with this news, the team has a few things to share. First of all, they’ve released the entire achievements list for you to have a look at. If you’re an achievement hunter, you’ll definitely find a use for this. Outside of that though, the team shares that there will be two reveals for the game on August 19th. Starting with Inside Xbox at 5PM CEST, the new Horde Mode will be revealed. Following that at 8PM, the story trailer for Gears 5 will be revealed at gamescom: Opening Night Live.

If you’d like to see additional details including the full achievement list, you can read the Xbox Wire post here. Gears 5 will release for Xbox One and PC on September 10th for everyone not playing it on September 6th.

Hello Games would love to bring No Man’s Sky to Switch

When Hello Games released No Man’s Sky on this day 3 years ago, the reception to game was quite negative. Since then, Hello Games has continued to work on consistent updates. Beyond is the latest one and is launching next Wednesday. However, it seems like Sean Murray is interested in bringing the game to a new platform.

In an interview with Game Informer, they asked Murray if they would be interested in bringing the game to Nintendo Switch. His response was quite indicative of the possibility.

“It’s super interesting,” says Murray. “I love the Switch. We’re obviously very focused on what we’re doing right now, but we have done a lot of work for PSVR to optimize the game. So I’d be interested to see what’s possible. But at the moment, we’re just very focused on what we’re doing right now.”

Of course it’s understandable that Hello Games is focused on the newest update and optimizing the game on all three platforms. (PS4, XBO and PC) If anything I think No Man’s Sky would be a great fit on Switch especially on this scale.
