Iron Man VR Delayed Until May
Camouflaj announced the delay on its Twitter account. "In order to deliver on our vision and meet the high expectations of our amazing community, we’ve made the difficult decision to move Marvel’s Iron Man VR to a May 15, 2020 release," the developer said. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="legacyId=20095320&captions=true"] Iron Man VR's delay marks the fourth game this week to be pushed back in order to allow extra development time. Earlier this week Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Marvel's Avengers were delayed until April and September respectively, while the hotly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 was delayed from April to September.

Official Pokemon ASMR Now Exists
The official Pokemon YouTube channel has released an ASMR video of Charmander sleeping by a campfire.
As Eurogamer discovered, the video starts with Charmander lying on its side before using the flame on the end of its tail to light a campfire. From there, Charmander snoozes for a whole 30 minutes, occasionally fidgeting in its sleep.
The video titled ‘Charmander’s Fireside Slumber’ was uploaded to the Japanese official Pokemon YouTube channel after the first episode of Pokemon: Twilight Wings. This is the first official video from The Pokemon Company that dives into the ASMR trend.
ASMR videos have been popular online for a number of years now. The creators try to trigger a tingling feeling across viewers’ scalp and spine using sounds and sometimes visuals. Crackling fires is one known way of triggering this response, others include whispering, scratching, tapping, and turning the pages of a book.

The whole point of ASMR is to relax the viewer. The timing of this upload from the official Pokemon channel couldn’t be better given that many fans were recently upset by the announcement of Pokemon Sword and Shield’s expansions.
The expansions address the Dexit issue that arose in 2019 when it was learned that not all of the Pokemon would be included in Sword and Shield. The expansions put many of those missing Pokemon into the game, but the move angered some fans as they didn’t want to pay for something they feel should have been included in the game from the start.

Hunt: Showdown Gets PS4 Release Date, Xbox Cross-Play Planned
Crytek has announced the release date and future plans for Hunt: Showdown on PlayStation 4, which includes cross-play with the Xbox One version.
The competitive bounty-hunting shooter will be available on PS4 from February 18, 2020. The physical version of the Xbox One version will be released on the same day.
[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/02/01/what-is-hunt-showdown"]
Crytek was able to move forward with the console versions thanks to bringing on publisher Koch Media who will be handling them going forward. This frees up Crytek so it can focus on developing updates for the game and handling the PC version.
“Update 1.2 is slated to bring random teams of three, an advanced tutorial, new Legendary Hunters, and new equipment and weapons across the board,” Crytek revealed. “Players can also expect server-side performance improvements, client CPU performance fixes, and a number of other general bug fixes.”
Beyond that update, Crytek says the plan is to add cross-play between the Xbox One and PS4 versions of Hunt: Showdown. There will also be a new map, solo PvE mode, live events, and outfit customisation.

Hunt: Showdown is the latest game by Crysis and Far Cry 1 developer Crytek. It’s a competitive shooter in which 12 players - in teams or solo - try to track down and kill beasts and then reach the extraction point with the bounty. It’s especially exciting as players can choose to cooperate to then betray each other at any moment.
It came out on PC and Xbox One in 2019 after being in Early Access for a while. It started off with a single map that captured its 1895 Louisiana setting but since then has got a second map.
