After YEARS of build-up, an invasion has finally hit Eve.

It's actually 2 invasions first off the Triglavian Collective started scouting out random systems, and now CCP seems to have activated the Drifters without warning and it's caught a lot of corps and players unaware.

It's about time! Gimme a remaster and a sequel, please, thank you, and good night.

WayForward and Trigger are collaborating on the opening animation for Shantae 5!



Trigger has been one of the most unique animation studios out there in Asia, with their works coming thanks to the likes of shows such as Little Witch Academia, Kill La Kill, and more.

This is a fantastic move IMO, and it's such a good choice with character designs such as Shantae, Risky, and the rest of the frigging gang.

The Playstation 5 has been officially named, with a Holiday 2020 release window.



The announcement comes with additional details; speaking more of the new Dualshock 5 as-well. From Wired, they have gone on about new improvements and all new changes to the haptics for L2/R2. The UI will also recieve a massive overhaul; that'd allow people to join in on online play instantly.

EA and Valve have made ammends.

EA and Valve Partnership



Additionally while not oriented to console/PC gaming, Miyamoto will be marked as the first to be inducted as a person of cultural merit for Japan.

Leaks have gone out to suggest that Half-Life will be making a presence at The Game Awards as the flagship VR title for Valve Index: "Half-Life: Alyx".



And to bring up: the Dualshock 5 has been filed.

So I’m probably getting Fallen Order. I’ve looked a little and I didn’t find anything, but I’ll ask anyway: Is there any advantage to getting the game for any particular console? Like maybe exclusive DLC?

 

[LieutLaww]

There is no DLC for the game, also no micro transactions or loot boxes, just get it for whatever system you play the most on (not Switch)

Thanks. I play PS4 and Xbox One about equally so that’s why I was wondering.

 

[Spaulding]

If anyone is considering Death Stranding, and on the fence about it, my advice would be to give it a shot. It's completely bonkers, nonsensical gibberish and has some of the most repetitive gameplay I have ever experienced, but by god I cannot get enough of it! Not finished yet, but a definite contender for my GOTY. RE2make is the only other game in the running.

A new Half Life after all this time and it’s a VR game. Why does it feel like so many gaming companies are in competition of who can cause the biggest crapstorm in their fan base? Just give the people what they want, jeez.

I mean, Half-Life 2 was the first game required for Steam. This is them..somewhat continuing the tradition (even though, I do think that we'll likely see support for Oculus and HTCVive for the game).

Valve's been trying to slowly get into VR, and this might be their answer to finally getting the Source Engine 2 out to the public on a larger scale, considering all the rumors that have spread in the past. As someone who's VR experience goes for a one-time instance thanks to VOIDVR..I can see the appeal, but it's going to make or break if this requires the Valve Index.

DP: Half-Life: Alyx is official, with the first trailer to be released on Thursday.

 

[AlexanderMBush]

Sony will be having one more State of Play this year; on the 10th.



One of the things to potentially expect is the release date trailer for Kingdom Hearts III: ReMIND, which has been leaked to be releasing first on Playstation 4 on January 25th in a trailer.

Additional notes from the trailer seems to indicate a continuation of the story, with new elements and gameplay features included alongside returning characters from Final Fantasy.

 

[AlexanderMBush]

In a massive bit of news, SIE, Sony San Diego, the MLB/MLBPA have formed an agreement; with all future titles going forward for MLB The Show to be released on other consoles.

-Practically the same controller
-Same aesthetic as XBOX One
-“Xbox Series X” has Wii U vibes as far as names go. It doesn’t sound (or look) like a new console, it just sounds like a new version of the Xbox One.
