Clearly I grew too accustomed to sleeping in over the weekend. Getting up to my alarm this morning was a drudge. Here’s the news.
- GuitarHero TV is Shutting Down
- SEGA Justifies Sonic in a Car
- Evolve Servers Shutting Down
GuitarHero TV
According to a recent announcement by Activision, as of December 1, 2018, the GHTV mode within Guitar Hero Live will no longer be available to play. If you didn’t know about the service. It allowed players to access a selection of songs on virtual TV Stations. They could play the song currently running, but if they wanted to play the song again on their own time, they had to purchase said song. The service also featured music videos of these songs.
Additionally, as of two days ago, Guitar Hero Live for iOS will no longer be available on the App Store. Though if you already own it, you can still play. In-game purchases have also been turned off. If you already have in-game cash, you have until December 1 to spend it. More information can be found on Activision’s post.
SEGA Justifies Cars
With Sonic Team Racing having recently been announced, the discussion of “why is Sonic in a car?” has re-sparked. Finally, SEGA themselves have responded to the quandary.
“So we’re going to set the record straight just in case. If he’s not in a car guys, the race is over before it’s begun. You know this. You know he’s fast. He’s faster than cars, so we gotta equalize the playing field. So please, spread the word if you see anyone curious why he’s in a car, there you go.”
Works for me.
Devolved Servers
Evolve, the asymmetrical multiplayer game where four players hunt one large monster player, will be shutting down their online servers this year. The servers will be closing on Sept. 3, 2018. You can still play the game via peer-to-peer connections, made possible in a recent update, but that’s it. Microtransactions will also be coming offline, so make sure you use the last of your premium currency before then.
That’s all for today. I’m working on something that may result in a number of new game reviews appearing on the site. Stay tuned for that. Come back tomorrow for more gaming news and such. Otherwise, have a great day!
