Saints Row: The Third Remastered Getting Xbox Series X|S And PS5 Upgrades

Saints Row: The Third Remastered will be coming to Xbox Series X | S and PlayStation 5 on May 25. The new next-generation version will be free to all current owners of the game and will equal the ultra settings on PC.

Some of the Improvements coming to the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 version include a framerate boost to 60 FPS and dynamic 4K resolution, with Xbox Series X players being able to choose between Performance mode that will run 60 FPS at 1080p or beauty which runs 30FPS at 4K. The new version will get faster load times thanks to the SSD. Lastly, the most important update is the PS5 DualSense controller will glow in the signature Saints Purple.

Look Saints Row: The Third Remastered is great and all but I've personally played this game to completion around three times, hopefully, we'll get that Saints Row 5 announcement soon as I'm starting to lose hope.

E3 2021 Announced To Begin On June 12

The ESA has officially announced its plans for a virtual E3 this year, confirming that the event will take place between June 12 and June 15 of this year.

Revealed In a press release, the ESA confirmed that multiple publishers will show up show which includes Xbox, Nintendo, Capcom, Ubisoft, Konami, Take-Two Interactive, Warner Bros. Games, Koch Media. They also went on to say that there will be "more to come" who will be "showcasing their latest news and games directly to fans" with the group promising the event's content will be available for free. Lastly, they confirmed that more details such as how viewers will be able to watch the event at a late date.

There are a few notable publishers that seemingly won't be participating in this year's E3 that include Sony, EA, Sega, and Square Enix. Sony hasn't held a show at E3 since 2018 so that isn't too surprising and a similar situation follows with EA focusing on their EA Play event. I am hopeful that SEGA or Square Enix could show up in some fashion at one of the main conferences for Xbox or Nintendo.

Either way, I'm super excited to see E3 return after the garbage fire that was the 2020 gaming announcement shows. Hopefully, this means it won't be spread out over the course of multiple months and is more condensed. I can't go another year of watching 12 different showcases over the course of three months.

Watch Dogs: Legion's Online Modes Release Date Announced

Ubisoft has announced that Watch Dogs: Legion will be getting its online multiplayer update on March 9.

The online mode will include both co-op and competitive ways to play, which include difficult Tactical Ops missions for up to four players, the Invasion mode, and a Spiderbot Arena PvP mode.

I'm personally pretty excited to check out this new way to play Watch Dogs Legion and plan to discuss it further on my podcast when the patch drops.

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout's Next crossover is with Bethesda's Doom

Devolver Digital and Mediatonic have announced that Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is crossing over with Bethesda DOOM.

From January 12 a collection of Doom-themed costumes will be available in the in-game store, including Doomguy, a Cacodemon, and a Cyberdemon. This is the latest in a line of crossovers with other gaming properties since the game launched, including such games as Untitled Goose Game and Sonic the Hedgehog.

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is currently in the middle of its third season on PlayStation 4 and PC.

Persona Soundtrack Comes To Spotify

Atlus has announced that most of the original soundtracks for the Persona games will be dropping onto Spotify.

Here's a list of the following Atlus soundtracks available on Spotify now:

Persona 5 OST

P4 & P4 Golden OST

P3 & FES OST

P2 Sound Collections

P4 Dancing All Night OST

P4 Arena Ultimax OST

Never More - Reincarnation: Persona 4

P3 & P4 Vocal Sound Collection

PQ & PQ2 OST

As a massive nerd for Persona, I'm super stoked to see the soundtrack become easily accessible to listen to. Previously you could only get hold of the soundtrack for the games by purchasing the collector’s edition of the games or via uploads on YouTube.

Here are some of my favorite tracks from all the games I've played:

Mass Destruction (Persona 3 FES)

The Snow Queen (Persona 3 FES)

Pursuing My True Self (Persona 4 Golden)

Time To Make History (Persona 4 Golden)

Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There (Persona 5)

Phantom (Persona 5)

Life Will Chhange (Persona 5)

I could have listed at least another ten songs, I don't know how Atlus does it but the songs gain so much meaning over the course of each game. If you can't tell, this is just a huge ploy to encourage you to go play Persona 5 Royal. Which you should because it's one of, if not the best game that released in 2020.

Hitman 3 New Feature Revealed

IO Interactive has revealed an upcoming feature for Hitman 3. Players will be able to unlock "persistent shortcuts" in levels, which will open up new paths on previously played levels.

Originally revealed by Game Informer, the new shortcuts are said to "encourage exploration, reward curiosity, and incentivize replayability" with players being able to open up new routes by interacting with doors, certain areas, and access points in each level. Agent 47 will then be able to use them during future playthroughs to get to areas of the map faster or to head off a target before they reach a specific destination.

I'm personally looking forward to checking this out for myself when Hitman 3 launches on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PC on January 20, 2021.

The Year Of Creation

What's up folks and welcome to another blog post. I struggled for so awhile trying to figure out the introduction to this post so I thought I'd just rehash my podcast intro for it.

I have always been able to focus on something and hammer away at it continuously but 2020 kinda took that from me and stomped on it hard. I managed to somehow keep posting daily on Instagram and exercising but everything else went to the wayside.

Content creation is something I’ve always been drawn too and I plan to go bananas in 2021. The Podcast is moving homes from SoundCloud to HelloGhostly.com. This means sadly that either i lose all the current episodes I've created or import them all over, which takes a ton of time. Hopefully, I'll then be able to bring the podcast to more platforms such as Spotify or Amazon Music.

Gaming News is coming back to the website on a weekly basis covering the best news for consoles such as Xbox Series X, PS5, and Nintendo Switch. However, it's gonna be a little bit different as I'll only be covering the news that interests me, and I might inject some opinion along the way.

Lastly, I plan to do another regular feature on the website focusing on content creators in general, I'll be revealing more on that in the near future.

2021 has given me perspective on what's important, My family is always gonna be my first priority but creating is a close second. I plan to create a ton of awesome content over the course of the next year and i can't wait to get started.

After last week darker tone, I felt at times for a more happy episode, so I drank two coffees before the episode. That will make it happy, won't it? no okay. But seriously we talk more video games this week and get into the release dates for the division 2 private beta, kingdom hearts 3 epilogues coming after the game launches and much more.

Overwatch's Solider 76 Joins Tracer as an LGBTQ hero - Hello Ghostly Games Podcast 11.01.19

What's Up everyone, I wanted to start by adding a somewhat disclaimer to this episode. The following episode gets into a mature discussion in regards to depression, anxiety, and death. I talk about the recent loss of my father in law and how that's affected me over the past year and also my previous attempts of suicide.

It was rough for me to listen back to but I hope this episode helps you if you're going through similar feeling or issues. Life always gets better and there is always someone who cares, even if it feels like there isn't.

Gears 5 Coming In 2019

Gears 5, yeah it's not Gears Of War 5 go figure. Anyway, the game was announced over the course of Microsoft E3 conference with a brief tidbit of the story shown in a new trailer. There was also a brief bit of gameplay that included what looks like be Locust but I've yet to finish Gears Of War 4 so I might be wrong. There were those robots too which I think had a super dumb name like Deebee's of something. 

From what I can gather from the trailer, the story will focus mainly on Kait this time around with the boys taking a nice long rest and do some push-ups or something. {Seriously though how does one get that buff while constantly walking and skipping arms} Additionally both JD Fenix And Marcus Fenix appear in the trailer and possibly that other guy from Gears 4 but I don't know cause everyone like 15 years older.

For a brief moment i also think i heard the sultry tones of iZombie star Rahul Koli but i could be completely off the mark.  

Gears Tactics Announced

The Coalition wasn't playing when it comes to E3 announcements this year with a total of three new gears of war games coming in the future. Gears 5 is super exciting and all but i love me some XCOM and Gears Tactics looks like an XCOM game but in the gears universe.

The story is set 12 years prior to the first Gears Of War game. The coalition describes the game as a more aggressive version of a tactic game but with big bad bosses. The game will also allow you to customize your squad.

The Gears Of War official Twitter page as "true PC strategy game where brutal action meets turn-based tactics."

Cuphead DLC Called The Delicious Last Course Coming In 2019 With New Playable Character

Cuphead isn't everyone's cup of tea but for those that loved the game, might be glad to hear there's more on its way. Cuphead and Mugman aren't alone in this next venture, however. The Legendary chalice is back but in the form of Ms. Chalice.

There will also be a bunch of new charms, new bosses, weapons and much more. The Delicious Last Course will be avaiable in 2019

Tom Clancy's The Division 2 Release Date Set For March 2019

Additionally the game is set 6 months after the initial virus outbreak where it will challenge players to partake in a civil war between differing factions. 

Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer Reveals Frozen World And New Game play

I would be lying to you if I told you I didn't get misty-eyed during that awesome new trailer for Kingdom Hearts 3. Yes, I am a fully grown man and yes I do have an unhealthy love for everything Kingdom Hearts.

The trailer did feature some previously announced worlds such as Rapunzel, Monsters Inc and Toy Story but we also got to see some new combat moves and variation in Disney characters.

Microsoft Announce New Halo Game Called Halo Infinite

Microsoft always start their E3 briefing with a bang and this year wasn't any different. Halo Infinite is  the next title in the highly anticipated sci-fi shooter. Microsoft isn't letting slip on any details as of yet other than a new engine called Slipspace. {Get the previous pun? i know it's a bit on the nose}

 

Head Of Xbox Phil Spencer did go on to say that Halo Infinite will be Master Chief's 'greatest adventure yet' as he battles to save humanity. Here's hoping Locke has gone in the way of the dodo as in extinct.

 

The Trailer is below for you're viewing pleasure or just pleasure. {I don't know what ticles your pickle}
