Multiplayer is going to be a major component of the newest adventure game coming from Supermassive Games, Man of Medan. Typically, horror has been relegated to playing alone…in the dark, but this game will allow two players to play together (if they choose). Here’s a look at how that will work.

The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan is coming August 29th, 2019 to Xbox One, PC and PS4.

Apologies for not posting more content from San Diego Comic Con 2019 sooner, but this trailer is too good for us to neglect. Death Stranding is aiming to be one of the most unique games ever released for the PlayStation 4. Directed by the legendary Hideo Kojima, it was sorely missed when Sony skipped hosting an E3 Press Event this year. Thankfully, we have a new trailer from SDCC 2019 and now I can share it with all of you.

This trailer focuses on the character of Heartman, a man who can spend much of the day straddling the boundary between life and death.

Death Stranding is coming November 8th, 2019 exclusively to the PS4.

Important news for users of Apple devices this morning, Apple has released updates for everything they currently make late last night. The latest update they released for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users is iOS 12.4.

The update includes an important new feature that allows users to transfer system data from old devices to new ones directly. Previously, system transfers could only be made by loading device backups from iTunes or iCloud. This new update gives the iDevice a sorely needed feature other devices like the Nintendo 3DS and PS4 have offered for years.

iOS 12.4 can currently be installed through your device’s software update feature or through iTunes.

A very minor system software update has just been released on the PS4. System Software Update 6.72 includes only non-specific bug fixes and optimizations. It weighs in at around 470MB if you previously had the most recent System Software installed on the PS4.

6.72 is not currently required to be installed for your PS4 to access the PlayStation Network but that can change at any time.

Nintendo Switch Lite Announced July 10, 2019

Nintendo has just announced a new model of Nintendo Switch is coming this fall, called the Nintendo Switch Lite. Take a look!

As a current Nintendo Switch owner I will likely pass on this unit. While I appreciate the smaller form factor, Nintendo Switch Lite looks like it will be a smaller and cheaper options for players who don’t have a Switch or want a Switch they can take on the go. We will probably learn more about the handheld as we lead to release this fall.

I just want to put a little footnote here from my own personal knowledge. The video depicted can make it a little confusing to the layman that use of the Switch and Switch Lite are interchangeable. While it is certainly the case Switch and Switch Lite owners will be able to compete against each other either in local or Internet-connected matches, the Switch does not allow for the same user to use their personal Switch profile on multiple devices. That means, while you can currently transfer your Switch account if your Switch breaks (which is a feature that has only RECENTLY been added) you can’t change your Switch accounts back and forth between multiple Switch consoles.
