X-Box, Playstation, and Wii Game News

Looks like Yooka-Laylee, the Kickstarter game made by former Rare Developers, has a launch date of April 2017. One significant other update is that the Wii U version has been cancelled, and those who selected that one will be allowed to choose which version they want, and they basically all but confirmed that it will be coming to the Switch.

Makes sense. There isn't much point in putting out a Wii U game after the Switch comes out.

Infinite Warfare is getting a free trial event this weekend.



PC players are not welcome.

Well that and likely Nintendo gave them some incentive to port it to the Switch instead. Adds another game to their lineup.

For Honor will require an internet connection, even if you're playing single player...

Part 2 is live. In my opinion Part 2, where they talk about how they came up for the tone and story, of the game is much more interesting than part 1, where they talk about why they basically canceled Doom 4 and started over with Doom (2016). Apparently Part 3 is going to be about the soundtrack.

Well the bigger issue is that even for people that do have internet, if the service isn't up, then people can't play. It's not so much that gamers don't have internet access, but rather that now players' enjoyment will depend on the stability of the uPlay servers, which have been shown to be rather lacking. Nothing like turning on your new game on launch only to see a cryptic error on the screen preventing you from playing the game because the servers couldn't deal with the rush of new players. Finally, there's also the possibility that any issues stemming from this onslaught of users could affect other games as well that rely on uPlay such as The Division or Rainbow 6.

Then again, this is the same company that claimed that off-line co-op was a "key feature" only to then eliminate it.

You'd have thought that the fiasco with EA requiring an on-line connection with Sim City would have taught them somehting

Or they could have learned from their own history when they tried it with Assassins Creed 2..

Happy b-day! There's a good chart in this article, published earlier this month: http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/ps4-pro-enhanced-games/
If I had 4K/HDR capability, I personally would grab Deus Ex and Uncharted 4. Deus Ex is still $19.99 on Amazon.

It's a little sad that it's considered "news" that a game is actually going to run at 1080/60 on a modern console..

In case you were waiting for Platinum Games' Mediocre Button masher TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan to fall down to less than $10 before picking it up, looks like you waited too long. The game is no longer for sale. Apparently the same is true for some of the Amazing Spiderman games (Also Mediocre.) The likely cause is license expiration.
