Super Mega Baseball 3 has received a slight delay, but now has a firm release date. The game, originally announced for April, will come out on May 13, and developer Metalhead Software has released an in-depth video revealing the various ways the game has improved on its predecessors.The biggest changes, the video promises, are to base stealing and pick-off mechanics. Base runners now take off immediately when you press the steal button, so timing your move against what the pitcher is doing matters more. If you're pitching, you can perform a pick-off with a press of the D-Pad (to indicate which base you're throwing to), and whether the player is safe or not will depend on whether they've pressed the steal button.Player traits have been added too, and they'll change how each individual plays. It might be that a pitcher's accuracy drops over time, for instance, or a batter is better at a specific kind of shot. There's also a new dynamic swing reticule, so players will have a better visualization of exactly where and how they'll hit the ball.New pitcher role types have been added, while fielders have also been reworked in line with feedback the developers got from the second game. You'll be able to experience all of this across the game's new Franchise mode, where you guide a team through multiple seasons.Super Mega Baseball 3 will receive both a demo and a trial version, the latter of which will let you play unlimited games in the competitive online Pennant Race mode, which will keep the game's online mode occupied during the launch period.Super Mega Baseball 3 is coming to PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and PC, with cross-platform play. It will retail for $45. Info from Gamespot.com

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is getting a sequel. Deadline is reporting that the first film's director, Andre Ovredal, will return for the second film, but it won't necessarily adapt more of the short stories from the original book series.The script, written by Dan and Kevin Hageman (The Lego Movie), will be based on a story written by Guillermo del Toro. del Toro, who won the Best Director Oscar in 2018 for The Shape of Water, produced the first film.Exact details of what this story involves are being kept under wraps for now, but as the first film received a PG-13 rating, and the original books were aimed at children, we don't expect anything too horrific. A release date has not been announced.The first film was a success, bringing in $105 million worldwide on a $25 million budget. It received a 7/10 in GameSpot's review, and was praised for "giving fans a fun thrill ride while also serving as a great gateway horror movie for kids to get terrified and then hooked for life to the genre."Info from Gamespot.com

Earlier this week, Ubisoft released the latest patch for Rainbow Six Siege on PC. Now, Patch Y5S1.2 has made its way to consoles. The patch primarily aims to buff Ying and fix bugs.Though a previous update substituted her frag grenades with claymote, this new patch replaces her claymore with smoke grenades. It also increased the damage of her T-95 LSW and granted her more Candelas, as revealed in the full patch notes. Additionally, it fixed a bundle of bugs, including a nasty barricade replication glitch.A patch from earlier in April adjusted five operators, including Ying, Jäger, Mozzie, Buck, and Goyo. Ying received the most changes, with the other characters getting more minor fixes, such as Jäger's becoming less speedy but more armored. The developers of Siege released a lengthy blog post explaining the logic behind these decisions, citing a need to push players outside of their comfort zone.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

It's no secret at this point that if you're willing to wait a few months after a AAA game's release, you'll probably be able to find it for $10 to $20 cheaper (and sometimes even more). That waiting period has seemed to shrink as this console generation comes to a close, and if you held off on buying Doom Eternal for that reason, you're in luck. Just one month after its release, Doom Eternal's PC version is currently selling for $40 at Walmart.Unfortunately, this is a box that'll be shipped to you with the code inside, but if you've already waited this long to check out Doom Eternal, you may not mind waiting a bit longer. The purchase includes free shipping, and for me, the listing guarantees delivery by April 27.For comparison, Doom Eternal is full price on Amazon and Steam. You can find it for $52.79 on Fanatical, which will email you the digital code directly, but if you're holding out for the best price, Walmart's discount is the way to go.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Don your Newsboy Cap and sharpen up on your Brummie accent because there's a Peaky Blinders game on the way. Publisher Curve Digital has announced Peaky Blinders: Mastermind, a puzzle-adventure game based on the popular TV show about gangsters in early 20th century Birmingham, England. It's coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC sometime this summer.Developed by FuturLab--a British studio known for creating Velocity 2X--Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is set right before the first season of the BBC show. You'll join the Shelby family criminal organisation, as the game taps into Tommy's penchant for planning complex scenarios in his head: forming strategies and taking control of key members of the Shelby family in the thick of the action."There’s a point in the show where Tommy Shelby explains he has no concern for the past, nor the future; all he cares about is a crucial moment he recalls the soldier's minute," explains James Marsden, game director at FuturLab. "We designed our game around that idea, allowing the player to plan actions backward and forward in time, choreographing an ensemble cast of characters to synchronise their actions during these crucial moments. The player gets to feel like the smart and sophisticated leader that Tommy is, so we think becoming the mastermind will resonate with fans of the show and gamers alike."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
