Minecraft Super Duper Graphics Pack Delayed
The Super Duper Graphics Pack and Switch cross-play for Minecraft have been delayed until 2018.
The Super Duper Graphics pack was announced in June - it's an optional piece of DLC that adds better lighting, textures and more to the base Minecraft game.
Sadly, during MineCon Earth, Mojang announced that "there’s a lot of work to be done still" on the Pack, and its release has been pushed back from this year to an unspecified date in 2018.
The company also revealed that cross-platform multiplayer for the Switch version of the game has also been delayed until 2018.
Both of these updates were originally announced at this year's E3 and the Better Together update which allows for cross-play has already been released on Xbox One, Android, iOS and Windows 10.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 Announced for Switch, PS4, Xbox One in 2018
Sega has announced that Valkyria Chronicles 4 will be coming to the Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One here in the west sometime in 2018.
This latest installment in the popular alternate World War 2 fantasy series will take place during the same timeframe as the original Valkyria Chronicles but feature a new cast of characters.
Valkyria Chronicles 4 will also bring back the BLiTZ battle system, which blends strategy, RPG, and real-time third-person shooter elements.
A new Grenadier class and battleship support options have been added, as well as 'Last Stand' actions and larger scale battles.
Additionally, the familiar hand-drawn art style and the return of Hitoshi Sakimoto as composer sees the series return to its roots after becoming more of a more hack-and-slash style game for this year's poorly received spin-off Valkyria Revolution.

Justice League Has DCEU’s Lowest-Grossing Opening
DC's latest superhero film Justice League has seen the lowest-grossing opening for all the universe's movies.
According to Box Office Mojo's statistics Justice League has opened $14 million short of industry projections, grossing an estimated $96 million in North America.

Worldwide Justice League picked up an additional $185.5 million ($51.7 million of which came from China alone), bringing its worldwide opening weekend up to $281.5 million.
Easy Does It – The Case for Lowering the Difficulty
One of the first times I remember taking notice of the difficulty settings in a game was the original Doom. The game practically taunted me with its two lowest options: “I’m too young to die” and “Hey, not too rough,” implying that I wasn’t really serious about playing if I didn’t at least bump it up to “Hurt me plenty.” The message was clear - developer id Software wanted me to test my mettle and experience Doom as it was designed to be experienced – intense and challenging.
Many games, after all, are entirely built around the concept of challenge. These are the games that include an easy option only begrudgingly, or to make you feel more bad-ass for choosing one of the harder options. These are the games that want you to say “to hell with it, bring on the early-onset arthritis.”

Hitman’s Elusive Targets Are Back for a Limited Time
