Death Stranding Release Date May 29, 2019

Last night, while many of us were glued to the 2019 Pokémon Press Event, Sony PlayStation was hosting a stream of their own in anticipation for Death Stranding, a Hideo Kojima game that defies all labels. The stream itself was quite odd, with most of the visuals obscured by shifting graphics of hands for quite some time. Earlier today, this video was posted.

Death Stranding is coming November 8th, 2019 exclusively for the PlayStation 4.

Full 2019 Pokemon Press Conference May 29, 2019

Last night, The Pokémon Company made some major announcements about their plans for upcoming Pokémon games, hardware and software over the next two years. While we didn’t see anything from Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield (because those games will be previewed on a Pokémon Direct on June 5th) they did announce a new Pokémon game for the Nintendo Switch I was not expecting.

So if you missed the 2019 press event when it initially streamed, here’s the video of the entire show. Enjoy.

Pokémon Sleep is coming to smartphones in 2020. Pokémon Go is out now for smartphones. Pokémon Home is coming to Smartphones and Nintendo Switch in 2020. Detective Pikachu 2 is coming exclusively to the Nintendo Switch.

Detective Pikachu 2 Announced for Nintendo Switch May 28, 2019

We played Detective Pikachu on the Nintendo 3DS and while we found it a great game that harkened back to classic mystery games I enjoyed playing on the PC back in the 90s. It also served as the framework for one of the biggest feature films this summer. However, while players were able to solve the main mystery of the game by the time it concluded, there was one mystery still left dangling at the end of game, what traumatic event happened to Detective Pikachu before the start of the game?

The Pokémon Company made a game announcement at today’s Pokémon business event, Detective Pikachu 2 will be coming to the Nintendo Switch and it will continue and conclude the story set in the original Detective Pikachu game. For anyone who might have seen the feature film, don’t be surprised if the game ends differently than the film did!

Detective Pikachu 2 is coming exclusively for Nintendo Switch.

Pokemon Sleep Announced, Sleep Features Coming to Pokemon Go May 28, 2019

Sleep seemed to be the word of the day at the recent Pokémon business event.

Pokémon Sleep promises to do for sleeping what Pokémon Go did for walking. We have no further details about how this application will work other than the fact it will use your smartphone to record your sleeping habits.

A new Bluetooth device called the Pokémon Go Plus +, an updated version of the popular Pokémon Go Plus accessory, will assist in monitoring sleep when you put it on your bed’s mattress as you sleep. It will also function as a Pokémon Go Plus when you’re not sleeping.

Pokémon Sleep is coming to SmartPhones in 2020. Pokémon Go is out now for SmartPhones.

Pokemon Home Announced May 28, 2019

The Pokémon Company’s biggest announcement at their official business conference was Pokémon Home, a new application that plans to integrate your ongoing Pokémon collection among wide variety of Pokémon games on multiple platforms.

It is possible this application could be the Hub of all Pokémon content I have been waiting for since the 3DS was announced? Pokémon Home will offer full integration with the recent Pokémon games and services including Pokémon Bank on 3DS, Pokémon Go for smartphones, Pokémon Lets Go Pikachu and Eevee and the upcoming Pokémon Sword and Shield games on the Nintendo Switch.

Most importantly, this application will support trading with other local Pokémon players, although they admit the process for how this will work is still being worked on.

Pokémon Home is coming to Smartphones and Nintendo Switch in 2020.

iOS 12.3.1 Released May 27, 2019

A minor software update was released for Apple iOS devices this past weekend. The new update fixes some problems with VoLTE calls connecting and reporting for iMessage spam.

If you previously had iOS 12.3 installed, we don’t expect the update will take very long to download or install. We tried installing it on multiple different iOS 12 devices and the update weighed in at around 50MB.

The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan Release Date Trailer May 22, 2019

The Dark Pictures is being developed by Supermassive Games, the same studio you might remember for making the critically praised PS4 exclusive Until Dawn. Their next games will be coming out as part of an anthology series and the first one of that anthology, Man of Medan, has been receiving high praise during its previews. Today, we finally have a release date for that game!

The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan is coming August 30th, 2019 to the Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Halo: Outpost Discovery Behind the Scenes 2 Video May 22, 2019

Halo: Outpost Discovery is a live event which will take place in five cities across the United States this summer. 343 Industries promises the event will feature experiences like a real-life Hall of History, and a virtual reality team deathmatch.

The guys at Studio 41B have been working on some of the setpieces for the event and they were kind enough to make this video showing some of the components they’re working on for the venue. Their work looks just great and I can’t wait to see it up close for myself!

Get your tickets as soon as you can because the 3-day VIP passes for the Orlando event have sold out!

Dusk Diver Announcement Trailer May 21, 2019

An all-new action RPG has just been announced for the PS4 and Nintendo Switch and it looks like it’s got an incredible art style and a rockin soundtrack. It’s called Dusk Diver and it grabbed my attention immediately. Check it out.

Dusk Diver is coming Fall 2019 to the Nintendo Switch and PS4.

Spider-Man: Velocity is First Original Spider-Man PS4 Comic Story May 16, 2019

Spider-Man on PS4 has been a literal marvel for Marvel Comics, the original publisher of the character. It revived interest in the wall crawler in a way that hasn’t been seen in a decade. Now, a painful agony is upon those who must wait for Insomniac and Marvel to announce its inevitable sequel. However, there have been some interesting developments for the franchise on the comic’s front. While the character in the PS4 game is not the canonical 616 version of Peter Parker found in the main pages of Marvel Comics, the PS4 Spider-Man universe has appeared in comic books including Spider-Geddon, and the game’s story is currently being adapted for the comic series Spider-Man: City at War. However, other than the novelized prequel we haven’t gotten any entirely original comic stories from the Marvel Gamerverse…until now.

Marvel has just revealed the first ever full-length original comic book that will take place in the same universe as the PS4 video game, Spider-Man: Velocity. It’s based on the backstory of the Velocity Suit, an entirely original suit that first appeared in the PS4 Spider-Man game. The suit was designed by artist Adi Granov, who is probably best known for his revolutionary Iron Man suit design in the mid-2000s that was used as the basis for Iron Man’s suit in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now it looks like we will finally learn where it came from and why Spidey had to use it.

Spider-Man: Velocity #1 will be coming in August 2019.

Spider-Man is out now exclusively for the PS4.
