Hey, fellow nerds.
Max here, and welcome back to another episode of Yesterday's Games Today.
The show that scours the news so you don't have to!
Yesterday was the biggest day in news since I started this.
So it's the biggest in five days.
Starting off, another trailer for Sniper Elite 4 has dropped.
This is that series that goes into /extreme/ detail on the damage you cause when sniping
someone.
It has a decent following and always reviews okay from what I know.
The game is releasing on February 14th.
The mobile Animal Crossing game has been delayed out of the early part of 2017 and into the
next fiscal year - which is from this April to March of next year.
The delay is apparently to "accommodate the releases and operation of Fire Emblem
Heroes and Super Mario Run on Android."
Well, I guess out of all the weird shit Nintendo does, this leans more towards the less weird
side of things.
Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the Final Fantasy series.
It was announced that the remake of Final Fantasy 12, entitled The Zodiac Age, is releasing
on July 11th.
Not only is it an HD remaster, but will also feature revamped mechanics.
Cool!
I haven't played any of the FF games except for XV, but I have 6 and 7 waiting for me
in my Steam library.
Maybe i'll have them finished by the time this game comes out.
Let's be real I probably won't though, which is sad but real.
We also learned that XV's first DLC, Episode Gladio, will be releasing on March 28th, and
that Episode Prompto will be coming in June.
We are still unsure of when Episode Ignus or the 4 player co-op is coming, but it will
be here at some point.
On the weirder side of things, we are also getting Power Rangers inspired exo-suits for
our favorite four guys.
These suits will make you invincible for 30 minutes before needing a 24 hour recharge
time.
That's a lot of stuff, but for some reason we have no news of any Final Fantasy collection
coming, which is what lots of fans were expecting.
Maybe later on this week.
Epic Games announced a new Paragon hero, Aurora.
She is characterized as a rusher, burst attacker, and a zoner.
Paragon is currently in open beta on PS4 and PC.
Here's a question for you - what launched in 2012, and was killed instantly when the
Switch was announced?
The WiiU!
The console has officially been discontinued as of yesterday.
The system was a commercial failure, even though it had some pretty solid games like
Smash 4, Mario Kart 8, and Splatoon.
Luckily most of the ones worth playing are being ported over to the Switch at some point,
so not all is lost.
Developers of our beloved Ratchet and Clank, Insomniac Games, spoke out against Trump's
immigration ban yesterday.
In a YouTube video, CEO Ted Price states: "We at Insomniac Games stand united in strongly
opposing President Trump's immigration ban.
There's no question that these orders will harm us as a company and many of our team
members.
So we ask 'Is this the American way?
Is discriminating based on religious faith or national origin American?'
Absolutely not.
This is a deplorable, discriminatory act that we and many others across the nation believe
is patently unconstitutional.
We have been, we are and we will always be a nation of immigrants."
I have no desire to get political on this show, as it's about the games, but I think
it's important that we as gamers stand together and help out those in need.
Insomniac didn't have to say anything, but they chose to and I think we should respect
them for that.
In other heavy news, albeit in a very different way, the producer of the upcoming Zelda game
revealed that it would be "impossible to 100% the game in a week".
I really have a hard time believing this.
They keep touting how big this Zelda game is, but this makes it seem like one of the
biggest games to ever release.
Of course, I hope i'm wrong, but I can't imagine this game being longer than say, 60
hours at maximum.
We will know for sure on March 3rd when the Switch launches and reviews come out.
A new Need for Speed game is coming sometime before March next year.
This will be the first new game since the reboot of the series back in 2015, which only
received average reviews.
Maybe this new game will be the one to bring the series back to it's former glory.
Super Mario Run got an easy mode yesterday in a free update.
The new mode removes the risk of death as well as time limits to allow players to play
stress-free.
Toad Rally is also getting a nerf.
When losing the mode, you will lose less Toad collectibles than beforehand.
I don't really know what that means but it sounds good, so those playing the game
- enjoy!
The Elder Scrolls Online is getting a big update in the form of Morrowind.
The new content will include all key points of interest from the original Morrowind game,
and it will be around 30 hours of content.
The expansion is releasing June 6th, and will be $40.00.
On March 29th, the classic MMO, Club Penguin, will be shutting down for good.
Members will no longer be charged for their status, and no new memberships can be made.
There will be on official send off party on February 1st.
So right now as you're watching this.
It's live.
Go fucking party in fucking Club Penguin before it fucking closes down.
The game is being replaced by something called "Club Penguin Island", which will be a
mobile experience.
That's all we know.
I played Club Penguin alongside Maplestory for a long time when I was really young.
I have great memories with the game and am honestly a bit saddened by the news.
I wish the developers the best of luck in the future, and I thank them for affecting
my childhood the way they did.
Pokémon Sun and Moon's third global mission is now live.
Everyone has to trade a total of 1 million Pokémon by February 14th.
We'll see if this actually happens, as the previous two missions we pretty big failures.
Those being either catch 100 million total Pokémon as the first event, and catch one
million Pokémon as the second event.
Maybe since this event requires almost zero effort, it will actually be accomplished.
Bioware has announced that it will be launching an entirely new series by March 2018.
All of these stories are about March 2018 why is that the date everyone says to launch
by?
Jesus guys, get your predictions in check.
Anyways, the game is going to be action-adventure instead of an RPG which is really intriguing
actually!
I'd like to see how Bioware handles a non RPG.
They have been working on this new IP since 2012, so we can be sure that it's as fleshed
out as all of their other universes.
If you haven't transferred your GTA V character over from the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions yet,
you only have a month left to do so.
As of March 6th, the service will no longer be available.
The next NBA Live game has been delayed to Fall of this year.
The game was supposed to come out sometime between January and March, but not anymore.
Also if I have to read March out loud one more time I'm going to kill myself.
Oh, they said a new UFC game is coming too.
DICE's Star Wars Battlefront II is going to be getting normal features when it releases
this holiday season.
It's kinda sad that we live in a time where having a campaign is newsworthy, but hey that's
where we are.
The game will have a single-player campaign, will include content from multiple eras including
The Force Awakens and Rogue One, and will feature a bunch of new stuff.
Imagine that: A sequel brings along more stuff.
Truly innovative.
Ubisoft announced the open beta dates for their upcoming medieval game "For Honor".
It starts on February 9th and will include four modes.
Elimination, Brawl, Duel, and The Dominion.
It will run until February 12th.
Two days beforehand, on the 7th, Ubisoft will be hosting a Twitch stream of the game and
will be bringing on actors and actresses for some reason.
Including Jason Mamoa from Game of Thrones.
I have nothing to say on the subject.
For some reason, the other day, EA's community manager decided to send a tweet that said
nothing except Skate 4.
And it was hash-tagged.
He knows we all want it.
Hell, everyone in gaming knows we all want it.
So we got excited, fuck us, right?
Well yesterday EA revealed that they are in fact not making a Skate 4 right now.
What the actual fuck?
Why did he do that?
This is such a stupid situation.
There isn't even an apology.
Just that they aren't making it.
Fuck EA.
I am genuinely angry while writing this right now.
Well on that asinine note, that's the end of yesterday's news.
On the bright side, I didn't have to say March (cuts) again.
