GAMING SPEEDNEWS - With comments from "Baz" Feed

"I'm Barry Feed. I'm young, I'm relevant, I wear slip-on shoes without any socks, and I'm thinking of getting a top-knot. I got so much going on in my hot, young life I need my information in nub-size chunks - 'pulted into my face by a headline-cannon.

"C'mon! Gimme some gaming news! Gimme fast! I gotta get down the ironic old man pub to drink craft ale out of a Viking drinking horn!"

+++ ITEM! Sega Mega Drive icons Toejam and Earl are reportedly returning in an all-new game. Canadian developer HumaNature Studios teased fans by posting designs to the company's Facebook page, stating "We will be making some announcements in probably 3 or 4 weeks, when we have something we can show, and will be able to share lots of information with you."

• "What the hell was that? Mate, that was basically a novel! I need my news with the fat trimmed off! C'mon! Stop forcing me to read this pile of botch!"
  

+++ ITEM! Electronic Arts has hinted that its follow-up to Titanfall, last year's well-received Xbox 360/Xbox One exclusive, will be a multi-platform title. When discussing a sequel, the company said: "It will probably be a bigger footprint than just a single platform. I think that's a huge positive for us."

• "Less words, but well more boring. My interest is waning here! Let's go! Hurry up - or I'm gonna go back to posting pictures of my espadrilles to Instagram!"
  

+++ ITEM! Atari arcade classic Asteroids is getting a PC-only remake. Asteroids: Outpost ditches the original arcade gameplay in favour of "an open-world, sandbox-style, survival experience, where players mine, build and defend their base and grow their fortune as they go 'from rocks to riches'".

• "You're blinding me with detail! Get this thing moving! I got sites to click on! Clickclickclick!"
  

+++ ITEM! Feminist gaming icon Anita Sarkeesian - whose Tropes Vs Women video series examines portrayals of gender tropes in games - has inspired a character in the forthcoming Towerfall: Ascenion expansion, Dark World. 

• "I couldn't care less! Why is this news? 'Some stuff happened with some stuff and blah blah and a feminist is involved'. Move on, or you're gonna commit murder by tedium."
  

+++ ITEM! More than six million people have played the Battlefield Hardline beta since it went live last week. The full game is released next month.

• "Is that interesting? To anyone? No. Why bother reporting it. It's proper botch. You're just filling space with numbers. C'mon! You gotta do better, or I'm off to make a kale and mint smoothie."
  

+++ ITEM! Super Smash Bros 3DS now features Amiibo support - but only for those with the newest model of 3DS. An add-on will be coming later this year for those with the older versions.

• "You're just extracting the Michaelios here, mate. That was like about a zillion words. Who has time for words?  Words are a cancer on our wired-up society. Words slow us down. Words stop us skimming across the surface of the planet like a cool rock!"
  

+++ ITEM! Something to do with Steam or Valve or something.

• "Now we're talking! That's the kind of news I'm down with! Good work, guy!"
