2020 is behind us but covid 19 issues still remain

With 2020 behind us a lot of people all over the world myself included were looking towards 2021 as a time for things to get better.
Of course I had no illusions that a simple change in date would magically change everything wrong with the world but I did hope that with the kids going back to school my work schedule to at the very least see some sort of normality.

That quickly went out of the window when the schools in the UK were shut down after just 1 day back at school.
My personal opinion on if that was the right or wrong decision is irrelevant and this post isn't a rant or monologue on that or any other covid related measures.
This post is to set out how current issues will affect the running of the website.

Having 4 kids at home and trying to work a regular schedule is almost impossible for most people, having kids with disabilities further complicates things and with the need to home educate further absorbs vast amounts of time.

So rather than promise or claim to post multiple posts a day let's be honest here, I will attempt to make at least one post a day over the next few months but I can't commit to 5 or 6 daily updates or even 2 posts on occasions.

I wish everyone well for 2021 and hopefully we'll be back to a more regular posts and a growing of the site soon.

The majority of posts over the next few months will be press releases, if personal circumstances allow I'll continue to post the weekly charts and digital store updates.
I'm currently recording a number of video features but I can't say when they'll actually be edited or end up on the website.

Dead By Daylight
​My most played game of 2020 just as it was my most played game of 2019 and will almost certainly be my most played game of 2021
2020 saw multiple graphical upgraded to a good number of features and game maps with more to come in 2021.
It's also one of the most frequently updated games I've ever personally played with new killers and survivors entering the game every few months.
And it's one of these updates that is on my wish list for 2021 I'm not alone in this desire and there maybe impossible licencing issues and game working challenges but if I could have 1 killer added to the game it would be Chucky from Childs Play!
I think the recent twins release as to an extent shown how a little killer could run around the map and hunt down the desperate survivors.
Of course there would be some potential issues with hooking ect but I'm sure that could be worked out.
If I could hand pick a survivor (obviously it would be Andy if it was Chucky) I'd take Emma Roberts wonderful Chanel Oberlin from the tv series Scream Queens.
Again that would bring it's own licencing issues but as much as I love Meg and she'll always be main Emma Roberts would be a very close runner up!

Regardless which killers  / survivors do arrive in the game in 2021 I look forward to much more fun & the occasional frustration in the fog.

Odds Of Happening - My desires are high but my hopes are very low

A Super Bomberman Collection

Konami have released a couple of collection games in 2020 and so there is perhaps some slim hope that it might stick together an old Bomberman collection.
I'd happily take 1 -3 but would quite like the 4th entry to be included too.
I stuck an Evercade logo up above here because I think that might be the best possible chance for such a collection but to be perfectly clear I'd happily take such a collection on any platform

One of my favourite series of the 16 bit era and the hours and hours of multiplayer action we enjoyed I'd love to play through all of these games again on modern systems (though I do still play through them on a yearly basis on original hardware anyway)

Odds Of Happening - It's Konami just about anything could come out of nowhere

A Breath Of Fire Collection

If I could only play one turn based RPG series I'd take Breath Of Fire over anything else.
I played most 16 bit RPG's that made it to England in the 90's  and have spent the past 20 years catching up on anything I missed and playing many more newer games inspired by the era.

Breath Of Fire 2 is my second favourite Snes game of all time only placed behind A link to the past.
It's not the best RPG series in the world by any means but it was the one that connected me with the most.
I really liked the first game, I adored the second game and completely loved the 3rd game on the original PlayStation.

Wasn't a fan of the 4th game to put it mildly and as a result I never actually played the 5th game on PS2 (I do own it) and I never touched the  6th mobile phone version.

Capcom aren't particularly interested in creating these kind of games anymore but with remakes of various 90's classics coming 2021 and the number of 90's remakes coming from Japan in general in the past few years perhaps one day I'll get a full collection but I highly doubt that 2021 will be that year.
​
Odds Of Happening - Probably less than zero

PlayStation

My Own PS5 Console

Let's be honest the PlayStation 5 pre order launch was a rushed mess.
Some of that blame has to be given to Sony but many of stores at the very least in the UK all went for the free for all approach and completely ignored their own set times for pre orders to go live meaning many in the UK either had to refresh for hours on end or purely hope for the best.
Needless to say within mere hours there were hundreds of PS5 consoles for sale on eBay, Amazon and others for double and triple the retail price.

I tried and failed to get one during the initial pre orders (I didn't refresh for hours) and I didn't even bother trying to get one at various other points when they went on sale in the run up to Christmas.

I expect I'll pick one up during the first quarter of 2021 but honestly as of today I honestly don't care at what point in 2021 that actually happens.

Odds Of Happening - 100% will happen at some point in 2021

Xbox

A new Conker or Banjo for Xbox Series X

Let's be honest the Rare of 2021 is not the Rare of the 90's but that doesn't automatically mean Microsoft doesn't have the resources or the talent to create another good Banjo or Conker game be it under the Rare banner or with someone else.
Perfect Dark is coming and as my 4th personal Rare series I'm very much looking forward to seeing how that turns out.
But let's be honest Microsoft isn't short on shooters already, while they'll be people out there that perhaps feel that 3d platformers aren't something the Xbox players want and I haven't seen sales numbers so maybe they're right but from my perspective the more choice of genres given to players the better.

Odds Of Happening - I'd say there's at the very least a 50 / 50 chance something will be shown off at e3 or equivalent event in 2021

​Nintendo

Splatoon 3

I got the first Splatoon on launch day on the Wii U played the story mode for an hour or two put it in the box and never played the game again.
When Splatoon 2 came out I got the game at launch put it on the shelf with many other games and left it there during the summer this year I finally put the game in my Switch console after much prompting from my kids went through the tutorial absolutely hated the motion controls thankfully turned them off decided rather than play the story mode I'd give multi player a try as the kids might find it more fun.
Since then it's my most played Switch game this year with many many hours put into it.
Still haven't touched the story mode so it's not like I'm in need of a new Splatoon game but I wouldn't be surprised to see it at least shown off this year for release in the next 18 months.

Odds Of Happening - I'm actually up at around 75% of this game being revealed in 2021

Nes & Snes Remix

Nintendo Online is in my opinion a reasonable service at a reasonable price but they really need to step up their offerings rather than just drip feeding so very little so very often.
the rerelease of the Nes & even a creation of a Snes remix would be a nice bonus for Switch online members and provide a fun online competitive leader boards.
Tetris 99 & Mario 35 have proved a bit of fun online competition is welcome and  while the NES versions were released on Wii U & 3DS I still think they'd be very popular on the Switch in addition to all the new content that could come from a Snes Version.

Odds Of Happening - As the saying often goes Nintendo will do whatever Nintendo want to do so this could be just as likely to happen as it could to never happen at all so I'll go 50 /50

Zelda four swords Remaster or remake

Zelda as a series is 35 years old this year and Nintendo will inevitably bring back some past games to celebrate that fact alongside perhaps releasing breath of the wild 2 (I think that will be a March 2022 game but we'll see)
Of the old games my personal choice would be four Swords either as a rerelease or even a new version or sequel.
The Switch is just about the perfect console for such a game with multiplayer and often multiple consoles in one house being a thing of all the past Zelda games this one would bring me the most joy.
"No kids there is nothing in this house you go ahead" while I loot every last rupee is something that will happen in my house in 2020 even if I have to get out the GameCube and all the link cables.
And before you feel sorry for my poor children I can assure you they'll quickly latch onto the idea and teal everything from under my nose like they do with treasure and other such things in any game we play,
They'll eat my turkey in streets of rage when they already have full health given half a chance they could do with losing a few rupees.

It could be released in a similar way to clubhouse games where you only need one copy and up to 3 others  can download a multiplayer only version to join you but honestly I'd buy the game 4 times at the right price because I know we'd get a lot out of it.
Just please Nintendo no more limited time releases

Odds Of Happening - I expect they'll be 2 or three Zelda games this year in addition to breath of the wild 2 if it makes it.
This kind of game would not only perfectly fit the switch multiplayer aspects but be a great accompaniment to another Zelda remake.
But again as with Nes Remix Nintendo will be Nintendo it's 100% there will be one or more Zelda games released in 2021 but virtually anyone's guess what they'll be.

​Online play comes to Sackboy: A Big Adventure today as part of a new title update.* And with it a new opportunity to experience the chaotic, slapstick multiplayer fun of Sackboy’s latest escapade.

Our goal from day one of this project was to give players an excellent single-player platforming experience. But… we wanted that experience to be even better when you shared it with your mates.  

Teamwork levels
You can play through Sackboy’s whole adventure from start to finish with up to three companions. And we have included a set of ten dedicated Teamwork Levels where you and your friends will have to work together if you want to succeed. There are two Teamwork Levels in each of the five main game worlds. In these exclusive multiplayer stages, you and your team will need to collaborate, coordinate and communicate to reach your goal. And you should expect that at some point it will go completely pear-shaped, often with hilarious consequences.

Guide, goad and grief your friends
There are a bunch of multiplayer moves with which to both assist and annoy your chums. Experiment with slapping, grabbing, and rolling into other players. Then dodge out of the way before they do the same to you. Also, a word of warning: take care when wielding the Swingamajig with other Sackfolk around. You don’t want to do anyone a disservice… do you?

As well as these fun ways to aggravate aid your companions there are also co-op emotes so you and your friends can show your appreciation for each other with hugs, high-fives and chest-bumps. You can unlock co-op emotes with collectabells or discover them in prize bubbles. Equip co-op emotes in the wardrobe at Zom Zom’s and use them by pressing the D-Pad and having your buddy stand next to you and press the D-Pad too.

Everyone’s a winner!
Levels include rewards for bronze, silver and gold high scores. In multiplayer you earn (and lose) score as a team. To score big make sure you use your x2 multipliers wisely, take out as many enemies as you can and pick up those high-value collectables. If you work together you can rack up loads of points! It’s worth it because when you hit the scoreboard everyone gets prizes.

Keep your progress
What if you spend a bunch of time playing online helping someone else on their adventure? What happens to all of those valuable, hard-earned Dreamer Orbs you’ve discovered? Fear not! When you return to your adventure your progress will be carried over to your local game, so you keep all of those hard-won orbs.

PS4/PS5 Cross-Play
This game is awesome fun in multiplayer and we wanted to make sure that as many people as possible get the opportunity to enjoy it with their friends. So we have included support for PS4/PS5 Cross-Play.*

​PS4 to PS5 save transfer
This new update isn’t just about online multiplayer, we have also included an option to transfer your PS4 adventure progress over to PS5. To do this, simply load Sackboy: A Big Adventure on PS4, select Extras in the pause menu and follow the instructions.

I hope this post has given you a good idea of the multiplayer shenanigans you can look forward to when you take Sackboy online. We’re going to continue to support the game with future updates making tweaks and improvements to give you the best possible gameplay experience.

Finally, as you may know, music plays a massive part in the Sackboy: A Big Adventure. The soundtrack really does need to be heard to be believed. And to coincide with the launch of online play we’ve put together an all-new trailer celebrating Sackboy’s love of music, dancing and dressing up.  I hope you like it and I look forward to seeing you online.

*Online multiplayer requires internet connection and PS Plus subscription; fees recur until cancelled. Age restrictions apply. Full terms: www.playstation.com/legal/ps-plus-usage-terms.

​SEATTLE, WA - December 17, 2020 - Wonderbelly Games and The Quantum Astrophysicists Guild are bringing another free update to the award-winning roguelike puzzler Roundguard. Titled "The Gift Giver" update, it's available today for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. Roundguard is also backwards compatible on the next generation PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The update arrives just in time for the holidays, bringing a snowy new event, treasures, and three new characters.

With the Gift Giver update, three new characters have been added to the dungeon. There's the Big Freeze, an ice cold frost giant who hits like an avalanche, and the Projectionist, a moody dark elf who wants to explore your emotions. And of course, there's the eponymous Gift Giver. Players must complete his quests to prove they are worthy of the treasures hidden inside his impeccably wrapped gifts. Along with the new characters come new quests, levels, trinkets, and elite fights.

Along with the new year-round content, Roundguard will also host a special in-game event from December 20th to January 2nd full of frosty flair and festive cheer. The dungeon and all its levels will be covered in snow and denizens will be dressed for the weather. You know what that means: ugly holiday sweaters and pom-pom hats! There will also be two weeks of unique daily challenges using new winter rules: Snowballing, which turns all pots to snowballs that stick to your hero, and Icy Winds, which blast through the levels and blow your hero around.

"We've started on a new playable hero, but it will take a lot more work to get them finished, tuned, and polished up," said Andrea Roberts of Wonderbelly Games. "In the meantime, we wanted to get something out there to give players new goals and more variety. And of course, we love events! We had a blast putting together a week of costumes and spooky challenges for our Tricks & Treats Halloween event, and we wanted to go even bigger for wintertime. We all need whatever little joys we can get right now!"

The Gift Giver update marks the third free content update that Wonderbelly Games has released this year. Roundguard has been nominated for several prestigious awards, including Games Radar's "Mobile Game of the Year" and DevGAMM's "Excellence in Game Design." With a new playable hero on the horizon, Roundguard is set to keep growing bigger, better, and bouncier in the new year.

- Limited time Winter event
- Snowballs, Icy Winds, and new Costumes!
- New characters: The Big Freeze, The Projectionist, and The Gift Giver
- Unique Daily Challenges with new rules!

Roundguard is rated ESRB 10+/PEGI 7 and is available for $19.99 USD.

​​Please note
 Legacy plans to feature at least 1 Kickstarter Project every month.
Regardless if Legacy backs a project or not we are not responsible in anyway for your own choices.
Some Kickstarter projects are a massive success and others are a complete failure.
Every project comes with it's own risks and rewards please do your research and make an informed decision on the project.

​Has Legacy Backed this project?

No

Why?
​Earlier this year I decided to part company with my near 40 year gaming collection so while this time last year I'd have been straight in for a physical NES game but now I'm happy o leave it for those that ill collect the games rather than simply back it now to sell for a bigger price a few years down the line.
I will be getting it's prequel game Flea on the Evercade system and if this game makes it to that system or the Switch stretch goal I'd support the dev there too.

​​​Risks and challenges
Direct from the developer

Lowtek Games has delivered on previous kickster game Flea so the development and manufacture should have most f the kinks ironed out this time round.
We are living in Covid times though so things could get delayed in whats we could not see.​

December 16, 2020 - KEMCO proudly announces the release of Wizards of Brandel for PlayStation®4 set to hit the European/Australian PlayStation®Store today. Standard price is EUR 14.99, but PS Plus users will receive a special 20% OFF discount during the first two weeks! For more information, please visit each storefront.

​Story
The main character loses his house after he fails to make a loan repayment, and ends up living for free in the house of a wanted sorcerer! He meets a swordswoman who has absolutely no sense of direction, and a young demon girl who shrivels up immediately if she doesn't drink enough water. Fate decrees that they end up traveling together. Different beliefs, and different ideas of what is right... Where will the quarrels over differing principles lead to? This is a brand new fantasy RPG that'll take you on a rollercoaster of emotions!

Many different Familiar Spirits
There are many different Familiar Spirits, who can support you in battles. They have various abilities, and also different appearances. Some of them might be a bit strange, and some of them you might already be familiar with!

Make the most of Limit Burst!
By using Limit Burst, you can keep your turn going during battles. Unleash Limit Burst at the perfect time to launch a concentrated attack, or use continuous recovery to bring fallen comrades back to life. Depending on where it's used, Limit Burst can make a huge difference to the flow of battle. It all depends on finding the ideal time to use it!

Battle speed and enemy encounters can be changed freely
Battle speed can be changed freely between normal speed and 3x speed, and enemy encounters can be changed between none and 3x normal. Change the settings to suit the circumstances and your playing style: maybe you want to move through battles quickly or go through dungeons without encounters, or on the other hand, maybe you want to battle monsters to collect items, and raise your level. Of course, there are all the features and achievements you know and love, such as weapon strengthening, item crafting, catalogs, and the Arena!

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rockstar Games® is proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto Online’s biggest update yet, The Cayo Perico Heist is now available to download free for all players on Playstation 4, Xbox One X, PC and on Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X|S via backward compatibility.

“The Cayo Perico Heist is our way of getting everyone together to party and dance in the safest possible way while also giving players the chance to take on our biggest and best Heist yet,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “It’s been a difficult and challenging year, and we wanted to make something everyone could have some fun in – we’re really excited for you to play.”

The Madrazo crime family have a problem with one of their suppliers – the infamous drug lord, El Rubio, who is threatening extortion unless they renegotiate their terms. Now, it’s up to players to find a way to infiltrate El Rubio’s heavily secured private island home of Cayo Perico, and escape with his incriminating files, and all the gold, art and cash as they can carry – all while making it back to Los Santos in one piece.
From lush jungle reconnaissance to dance parties on golden beaches, The Cayo Perico Heist is an all-new GTA Online adventure in which players can choose to assemble a crew of up to four - or for the first time, plan, prepare, and execute the daring island heist all on their own.

Alongside the launch of The Cayo Perico Heist, GTA Online introduces a new underground nightclub open to all players called The Music Locker. Evolving concepts first introduced in GTA Online: After Hours, The Music Locker offers players a unique social space to party and dance with other players featuring performances from world-class DJs Moodymann, Keinemusik and Palms Trax.

Building on the game’s reputation for supporting underground culture and also as a platform for music discovery, The Cayo Perico Heist will also feature three new radio stations: Still Slipping Los Santos from UK DJ Joy Orbison; Kult FM hosted by Julian Casablancas of The Strokes and The Voidz featuring Mac DeMarco, David Cross and Tony Mac; and Music Locker Radio, bringing the club sounds of Moodymann, Keinemusik and Palms Trax to the airwaves of Los Santos. The Cayo Perico Heist also features major updates to existing stations, Worldwide FM with Gilles Peterson and FlyLo FM from Flying Lotus for a total of 250+ new tracks.

The Cayo Perico Heist also introduces an array of exciting new weapons and vehicles including a new heavily armed Submarine, plus a host of new updates across the entire world.
Like all GTA Online updates, access to The Cayo Perico Heist is free with every copy of Grand Theft Auto V.

WIESBADEN, GERMANY 15th December, 2020 — Publisher Assemble Entertainment, most famous for the notorious point-and-click adventure game Leisure Suit Larry - Wet Dreams Don’t Dry, and developer Huu Games are thrilled to announce today that Shakes on a Plane is now available on Windows PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch. Taking inspiration from popular titles like Overcooked and Unrailed, Shakes on a Plane puts players in the precarious position of providing a timely, relaxing, culinary experience at 30,000 feet to a host of hungry and impatient passengers before the plane reaches its destination. Of course, things are never as easy as they seem, so grab a crew, clear your schedules, and make sure to arrive at least three hours early. Shakes on a Plane is available for £12.99 GBP on PC with a 20% launch discount and £17.99 GBP on Nintendo Switch with a 30% launch discount.

“Shakes on a Plane takes the wit, humour, and simple fun that Assemble titles are known for and adds some surprisingly intense and chaotic multiplayer action,” said Assemble Entertainment CEO Stefan Marcinek. “It’s a goofy and colorful game built on a rock-solid platform that fans of the genre will certainly enjoy.”

Have you always dreamed of a life in the clouds, jet setting from exotic locale to exotic locale, and enjoying the finest international cuisine? Well, how about just the jet setting part, and instead of enjoying fine cuisine you’re instead serving burgers and shakes to a group of impatient, hangry passengers all crammed together in a metal box thousands of feet in the air? Shakes on a Plane tasks you and up to three friends with providing a satisfying airborne culinary experience in a chaotic environment with simple, easy-to-use controls and deceptively tactical gameplay. Coordination, delegation, and teamwork will propel-ler you to victory and ensure a five-star rating on the “How Was Your Flight Today” survey. And if the passengers get too sassy you can always para-drop them out the airlock — trust us, it’s standard procedure for all airlines.

Additional Features Include: 

• Flying is Fun...Right?: Crying babies, obnoxious drunks, impatient business class fliers...It’s not your job to pick the passengers, but it is your job to keep them satisfied with delicious treats and tasty beverages

• Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Grab up to three other players to build your ideal team of talented flight attendants, but don’t forget that you’re locked with them inside a narrow metal tube at 30,000 feet — coordination, cooperation, and patience are the keys to a successful flight

• I Didn’t Order the Fish: Attention to detail is vital to keeping your impatient passengers sated with enough fast food to hopefully put them to sleep for the remainder of the flight. Make sure you get the right order to the right person, on time, or the cabin might get a tad unpleasant…

​

• Putting the F in First Class...And UFO: Don’t get too comfortable...each plane has a different layout, forcing players to adapt on the “fly” and perfectly plan their food delivery path

Shakes on a Plane is now available for Windows PC via Steam for £12.99 GBP with a 20% launch discount and Nintendo Switch via the eShop for £17.99 GBP with a 30% launch discount.
