You can now pre-order the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Torchlight II for $19.99! The Nintendo Switch pre-orders will, unfortunately, be a little bit longer. Thankfully though, you’ll be able to see the game on all three platforms come September 3rd, with some new refined mechanics.

The game’s console port will offer a bunch of new content for players to enjoy, along with a free pet if you pre-ordered the game. That new pet is a goblin by the name of Yapper! In addition to this pet, players will see the debut of pets for their respective platforms. Xbox One players have access to a molten imp for example, and the PS4 players getting a Faerie. A Nintendo Switch pet will be arriving later this summer.

Torchlight II is a hack and slash role-playing game developed by Runic Games. It’s the sequel to the original Torchlight, and has players return to the land of Vilderan to take on additional monsters and quests. The console port will refine the already solid controls and interface that are signature in the game. The game will also keep its 4-player coop mode. If you’d like to play the game right now, it’s available on Steam for $19.99.

Tetris 99 will be receiving a physical in North America on September 6th, 2019. The game is free if you have Nintendo Switch Online, and has DLC with added content. The physical edition includes Tetris 99, 1 year of Nintendo Switch Online, the Big Block DLC, and the DLC that will be released later this year. You can learn more about Tetris 99 below.

In Tetris 99, your goal is to rotate and move falling blocks called Tetriminos to complete horizontal lines. Completed lines disappear, clearing space for more Tetriminos, which fall faster and faster.

Attack other players by sending Garbage Blocks their way! These Garbage Blocks will fill up their screens, making it harder to clear lines.

The game has online cups often, where you can sometimes get a theme for the game while you play. There has been a Gameboy theme and a Splatoon 2 theme so far.

What are your thoughts about this physical? Will you be picking it up? Let us know in the comments!

Resident Evil Triple Pack Announced on Nintendo Switch for October 19th, Resident Evil 4 to only be included in the cartridge.

By

Initially announced during E3, publisher Capcom just announced today on the official RE twitter account that both the 5th and 6th installments of the legendary survival horror franchise now have confirmed dates. Their campaign to apparently bring every single Resident Evil title to the Nintendo Switch through various means continues as they confirmed Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 are both set to release on October 29th.

Both RE5 and RE6 were welcomed with very mixed receptions, especially for the latter but they can be very fun experiences nonetheless, especially on the go. We assume both will also be fully playable in coop like in other versions which are always a better way to play these two games, in our opinion.

In addition, the action trilogy including Resident Evil 4, 5 and 6 are all confirmed for a physical triple pack edition and it is important to note that only Resident Evil 4 is actually included on the cartridge. The other two will only be downloadable through a code included in the box.

Are you personally picking up Resident Evil 5 or 6 separately when they release or did you stop at Resident Evil 4’s previous 20$ price tag? Are you going for the triple pack ?Let us know!

Eric Chahi’s New VR Game “Paper Beast” Gets Trailer and Playable Demo At Gamescon

By
BunboyYT

Pixel Reef, the new studio of renowned French game designer Eric Chahi (Another World, From Dust), has released today a new video for their new playful exploration VR title Paper Beast.

Paper Beast lets intrepid player-explorers discover a blossoming virtual world where the environments and quirky animals have independently evolved from lost code and forgotten data. Following an unspoken narrative, players will interact with fascinating wildlife that adapts its behavior to the player’s actions.

“Imagine you are dropped in virgin land, you walk and you don’t know where to go. Interactions lead you forward, and in the end, you have a natural view of everything,” said Eric Chahi, founder at Pixel Reef.

Paper Beast is a poetic fusion of VR technology and immersive gameplay experiences. A deep simulation system has been developed to bring the game universe to life.

Paper Beast will release on PS VR later in 2019.

Straw Hat Pirate Pikachu is real and he is coming to Pokémon GO.

Kumamoto is a city on the Japanese island of Kyushu that was unfortunately hit by two earthquakes back in 2016, the disaster killed at least 50 people and injured nearly 3,000 others in total. Needless to say, the city was completely ravaged after the incident. While this wasn’t necessarily a joyful way of starting the news, the follow up is much more wholesome.

One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda is teaming up with The Pokémon Company, bringing a special event that will take place from July 22nd through July 29th in Pokémon GO, all for the sake of the Kumamoto Reconstruction, we say it’s a win-win! The Straw Hat Pirates are getting immortalized as actual statues in the Kumamoto prefecture and in Pokémon GO, well, they are Pokéstops! The event will also feature sequential images drawn by Oda himself forming a continuous manga. And yes, you’ve been waiting for it, YOU can also pick up Luffy’s straw hat as an avatar costume item. The icing on the cake, this event is also meant to celebrate Pokémon GO‘s third birthday in Japan.

Note that we still have no info on the impact of such an event in the west, while we obviously can’t join these Pokéstops from here, it would be nice to still have those themed costumes that could very well be rare collector items in the future.

Pokémon and One Piece are two of the biggest franchises ever created and this event while being a “cool news” over there in the west is absolutely gigantic in Japan. This also could open the gate for future partnerships with Pokémon GO, what franchise would you like joining the hunt to catch them all next?

Gears 5 will feature new Bootcamp Mode training mode

The highly anticipated Gears 5 releases September 10th for Xbox one and PC and since the official reveal at E3, we have been getting updated information about the next huge entry from The Coalition.

According to the post on the official Gears 5 website, Bootcamp will be a new way to practice your skills and learn new mechanics before joining the fight in Gears 5.  You’ll play as Del as he helps Damon Baird gather combat data. This all takes place in specially-designed Training Grounds outside the House of Sovereigns.

Bootcamp seems like a great way to get comfortable with your skills and loadouts as there is a bit of a learning curve when fighting other players I’m multiplayer.  For newcomers, this is also a great way to get you ready for what’s to come.

Gears 5 shines with Unreal Engine 4. The game looks stunning and should run at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second (FPS) on Xbox One X.  Gears of War 4 ran at 4K 30 FPS during the campaign and 4K 60 FPS during multiplayer. This time around, both modes are the same frame rate.

Check out the video preview below to learn more about Bootcamp.
