Halo TV Series Finally Coming to Showtime in 2019

Original story follows:

Where to Buy PlayStation Hits, Sony's Budget PS4 Classic Game Line-Up

If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.

Last week, Sony announced PlayStation Hits, classic PS4 games at a new, low price point of $19.99. The new branding is officially live today, with 15 games available as part of the new PlayStation Hits line-up, and more games promised for the future.

It's a little bit confusing, because some of the games still aren't at the $19.99 price point if you buy the physical disc. Specifically, Yakuza Kiwami hasn't fallen in price for the physical version (Walmart lists it at almost $40 right now, for example). Weirder still, some retailers don't have them in stock at all. This list will change as those discount red-cased classics come into stock, and as more games are added to the PlayStation Hits line-up.

Pokemon Let's Go Screenshots Show Off Pokemon Cosmetic Customization

New Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee screenshots show some of the customization options for the eponymous pocket monsters.

Pikachu and Eevee can apparently wear items like flowers and ribbons that can be affixed to their tail, body, and ears. Check the screenshots out below.

The screenshots were shared on the official Japanese website along with a short video of Pikachu and Eevee sporting their accoutrements, via Serebii.

The two titles are not a part of the core series of Pokemon games, but they do share some of the same features, as well as a number of similarities to Pokemon Go, with which the game is compatible.

Obsidian Open to Other Developers Doing Pillars of Eternity Games

For Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire director Josh Sawyer, one of the most valuable things a game company can hold onto isn’t just its employees or the hardware it develops, but the original worlds they create that can be used throughout the future to create different games. In this month’s IGN Unfiltered, Sawyer says that Obsidian is open to the idea of other developers using the Pillars of Eternity IP to create their own games set within the same universe.

“I as an individual designer, I try not to design outside the boundaries of what we're actually putting in the games because I want other teams and other designers

-- or heck, maybe someone would license this from us,” Sawyer says, citing a hypothetical Pillars of Eternity tactics-based game as an idea that Obsidian might not have the interest in or means to produce itself. Sawyer suggests that a different developer could possibly license the Pillars of Eternity IP and software to start their own project.

Fortnite's Playground Mode Planned to Return Today

Epic Games is aiming to re-release the Playground limited time mode in Fortnite later today.

Over on Reddit, the Fortnite developer gave a brief overview of why Playground was pulled yesterday and the new release plans for the mode. "So many of you rushed in

to create and play that our matchmaking service fell over," Epic stated. "We’ve since separated the Playground matchmaker from the one that affects the default modes and made large improvements to assist with the number of players.

"We plan to push these changes and improvements live later today to bring the Playground LTM back online."
