The Weeknd Says to Expect “No Special Guests” at Super Bowl 2021 Halftime Show

Leave a comment

The Weeknd has shut down any speculation that his Super Bowl LV Halftime Show will feature surprise guests. “I’ve been reading a lot of rumors… I wouldn’t bet on it,” he told sportscaster Kay Adams in a new interview for the NFL Network. “There wasn’t any room to fit it in the narrative, in the story I was telling in the performance. So yeah. There’s no special guests.” Check out the interview clip below.

Many people have speculated whether or not the Weeknd would be joined by any of his previous collaborators on Sunday Night—a list of names that includes Nicki Minaj, Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, SZA, Lil Uzi Vert, and more. The most common rumor was that the Weeknd might be joined by elusive French duo Daft Punk, who worked with the artist on his 2016 LP Starboy.

Hideki Kamiya Hopes Fans Will Get A Kick Out Of Platinum’s Special “Bonus Stage” Announcement

Leave a comment

Remember how PlatinumGames teased four major announcements last year? They ended up being for Platinum Games Tokyo, Project G.G., The Wonderful 101: Remastered, and an April Fools’ joke, which didn’t go down too well at the time.

It’s also got one special “bonus stage” announcement that it still has to make. In a new interview with VGC, Platinum’s Hideki Kamiya told fans to expect something that’s a little “smaller in scale” compared to the previous announcements but hopes they will still “get a kick out of” it.

“We want to reveal it at the right time, but what we can say at the moment is that this was always intended as the ‘Platinum Four’, so I think that the expectations should be for something extra. That being said, this is something that we’ve had in the works for a while.”

The plan was to get this announcement out sooner, but due to the pandemic, it got pushed back.

“We wanted to get this out a little sooner but then the coronavirus happened, which I know is a common excuse, but we hope that when we can start talking about it, it will bring a smile to our fans’ faces and we’ll get a good reaction like, ‘ah, we love those Platinum guys!’”

What would you like to see as a final bonus announcement from PlatinumGames? Share your thoughts below.

Nintendo Unveils Monster Hunter Rise Special Edition Switch Console

Leave a comment

@pilot
You should give it a shot. Buy Rise and make a genuine effort to learn the mechanics. It’s the best video game series of all time imo (and in the opinion of many, many others). Everyone loves monster hunter, they just have to play long enough to realize it 😉 (for real though, it’s a game that demands you learn how to play properly before you really start having a lot of fun but once you do, oh my gosh, it’ll make every other game feel boring by comparison).

I happened to get into the series by chance. Was a more casual gamer, 1st party Nintendo games only, bought MH3U on Wii U to try, gave up after the first hour because I wasn’t hunting big monsters yet and it seemed boring. Coworker kept going on and on about just wanting to play some MH. Bought a Wii U specifically to play MH3U. So I decided I would hunt online with him once or twice. And that was it. 600 hours later and I had found my new favorite video game of all time. We’re talking 48 hour binges staying up all night playing, call ins to work, etc. It’s an addiction like nothing else (barring actual drugs).

30 hours into the demo already. That’s more than many full price games. And there’s only two quests lol. That’s how fun the game is. It never gets old. But I don’t recommend you play the demo because it’ll just turn you off because it doesn’t give you time to properly learn all the mechanics. Best thing to do is just buy the game and start from the beginning and get eased in.
