    Gang Beasts E3 Trailer - YouTube

    If you have Gang Beasts on Steam Early Access and want to playtest the three new stages shown in the E3 trailer (the "chute", "elevators", and "tower" stages) you can download the current "unstable" alpha build (it is referenced as "unstable" as it is updated more frequently than the default build and has had less testing).

    To download the current "unstable" alpha build right-click on the game name on the Steam library page and select 'Properties' from the dialogue window that opens, from this window select the 'BETAS' tab then the 'unstable' option from the dropdown menu (the menu labelled 'Select the beta you would like to opt into:' (to revert back to the last 'stable' branch select 'NONE- Opt out of all beta programs' from the same menu).

    For reference switching between 'unstable' and 'stable' branches of the game forces the selected build to download to the Steam client.

    Gang Beasts is an Early Access game and is currently in uninterrupted development, the 0.1.x and 0.2.x builds have bugs, partially implemented gameplay content and mechanics (please see the Steam Early Access FAQ at http://store.steampowered.com/earlyac... for more information).

    Turn-based RPG Acaratus Brings a Novel Take on Tactical Genre With Randomized Maps, Highly Customizable Battle Suits and Collectible Cards
    Promo_charge

    “Winning the Game Concept Challenge to make Acaratus a reality means so much to us as a team”, said Martin Kupski, Creative Director at Nodbrim Interactive. “We’ll continue to listen to what our steadily growing community wants in order to give them the truly unique strategy experience they deserve”.

    Acaratus challenges players with multiple layers of strategy, urging them to plan a few steps ahead. Players have to construct their own mecha units from highly customizable modular attachments and decide between ranged, melee, boosters and defensive parts. Weapons range from war hammers to longer ranged projectile-based weapons, such as cannons. Ability card decks are also used by players as attack, defence or skill boosts to support their unique play styles and help them succeed in deep tactical turn-based gameplay. Combat takes place in a beautiful medieval steampunk setting with randomised maps, and players can also fight each other in the battle arenas.

    Early Access will support both single and multiplayer modes. While single player mode will be limited only to skirmish, tutorial and a campaign teaser during Early Access, the full game launch will include an extensive campaign mode with a rich story and many more features that will be announced closer to the release date.

    Acaratus is now available through Steam Early Access, priced at $24.99/£17.99/€20.99. Stay tuned for future updates at the Nodbrim Interactive dev blog: http://nodbrim.tumblr.com

    Verlosung 5x 1 Code für ‚Schein‘ auf Steam!

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Diese Woche geht es in die Indie Ecke, wir haben für euch auf der Game-City mit den Jungs von Zeppelin Studios aus Wien gesprochen und durften auch den Developern ein bischen beim Gamen über die Schulter gucken 🙂

     

     

    Schein_InGame14

     

    Kurzbeschreibung

    Schein ist ein spannendes puzzle jump’n’run, das auf dem Mythos des Irrlichts basiert. In diesem preisgekrönten Spiel ist Licht das ultimative Werkzeug: Besiege gefährliche Monster, löse knifflige Rätsel und entdecke verborgene Pfade durch den düsteren Sumpf.

    Das Projekt

    Schein ist das erste Projekt eines kleinen indie Teams junger, motivierter Entwickler. Während die einzelnen Teammitglieder quer durch Österreich und Deutschland zerstreut sind, hat Zeppelin Studio – die Firma welche sie alle verbindet – ihren Sitz in Wien. Was im Frühjahr 2011 als Studentenprojekt begann, hat sich seither zu einem vielversprechenden Startup entwickelt, welches oft mit Braid oder Limbo verglichen wird.
    Der ansonsten so traditionelle Platformer basiert auf einer innovativen Mechanik: Licht deckt neue Dimensionen auf und lässt sie real werden. Dieses originelle und einfache Konzept erlaubt es ein umfangreiches Spiel zu gestalten, welches dennoch für alle Spieler leicht zu begreifen ist.

    Features

    • System: Windows PC mit Directx9-fähiger Grafikkarte. Controller werden unterstützt.
    • Umfang: 12 Levels, die von 4 grausamen Monstern bewacht werden, warten darauf entdeckt zu werden.
    • Spiellänge: 4–8 Stunden kniffliger Rätsel- und Jump’n’run-Spielspaß.
    • Sprache: Audio vollständig auf Englisch synchronisiert – Texte auf Englisch und Deutsch.
    • O-Ton: Atmosphärischer Soundtrack, der perfekt an die Stimmung angepasst ist.
    • Release-Termin: 14. Juli 2014

    Geschichte

    Inmitten eines düsteren Sumpfes, nimmt dich Schein mit auf die Reise eines verzweifelten jungen Mannes, der um seinen verlorenen Sohn trauert. Er wandert ziellos durch den gefahrenvollen Sumpf, gelangt von einer Sackgasse in die nächste und allmählich schwindet seine Hoffnung. Als ihn die Dunkelheit schon beinahe vollständig verschluckt, erscheint ein kleiner Hoffnungsschimmer in Form einesIrrlichts.
    Als der Schein des Irrlichts auf die Umgebung fällt, beginnt die Welt sich langsam zu verwandelt, und es entsteht ein komplett neuer Ort. Durch diese wundervolle Metamorphose, kann der Mann nun Pfaden folgen, welche zuvor verborgen waren.

    Weiter unten geht es zur Verlosung!!

    METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE erscheint in Kürze für PC

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. gibt bekannt, dass in Kürze die Veröffentlichung der PC-Version des actiongeladenen METAL GEAR RISING: REVEANGEANCE als Download erfolgt. KONAMI gibt zudem bekannt, dass in dieser Download-Version die zusätzlichen „VR Missions“ wie auch die beiden Charakter-basierten DLC-Kapitel Bladewolf und Jetstream enthalten sind.

    mgrr-wallpaper-02-allcharacters-pc-1600x1000

    Entwickelt von Kojima Productions und PlatinumGames, führt METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE die renommierte METAL GEAR Saga mit einem einzigartigen Action-Erlebnis in eine packende neue Richtung. Der Titel vereint dabei pure Action mit einer epischen Story, in deren Mittelpunkt Raiden steht; ein ehemaliger Kindersoldat, der in eine kybernetisch erweiterte Kampfmaschine verwandelt wurde – angetrieben vom Wunsch nach Rache und ausgerüstet mit einem High-Frequency Blade, das förmlich alles zerschneidet.

     

    METAL GEAR RISING: Revengeance spielt in der nahen Zukunft, in der Technologie den Alltag der Menschheit bestimmt. Bedingt durch den Einsatz kybernetischer Fähigkeiten ist die Gesellschaft von Instabilität und Konflikten gezeichnet; private Militärorganisationen (PMCs) haben den Weg für unseriöse Unternehmen geebnet, die illegale und kriminelle Gruppierungen bei der Erreichung ihrer Ziele unterstützen. Unter Verwendung der kybernetischen Technologie versuchen diese abtrünnigen Kräfte, die politischen Mächte auszuhebeln und ihren Auftraggebern zum Durchbruch zu verhelfen. Raiden betritt das Abenteuer, als ein afrikanischer Präsident entführt werden soll.

     

    Samuel, der Urheber dieser Intrige, lässt Raiden schwer verwundet zurück, nachdem er den Präsidenten aus dessen Obhut entführt und schließlich getötet hat. So beginnt METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE mit Raidens Suche nach Sam und seinem Wunsch nach Vergeltung für die erlittene Niederlage. Der Titel bietet eine explosive Mischung aus Erkundungs- und Kampfelementen. Mit den beiden DLCs Bladewolf und Jetstream werden außerdem zwei Schlüsselfiguren vorgestellt: Raidens‘ vierbeiniger Begleiter Bladewolf sowie der abtrünnige Samuel.

     

    Nach dem großen Erfolg auf PlayStation®3 und Xbox 360® erscheint das actiongeladene METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE nun auch auf PC in bislang ungesehener HD-Qualität.

     

    Vorbestellungen bei Steam sind möglich ab dem heutigen Donnerstag, 2013, 19.00 Uhr. Im Rahmen des „STEAM’s Holiday sale“ ist der Titel außerdem mit 33% Preisnachlass (die ersten 48 Stunden) bzw. 20% Preisnachlass (bis zum Veröffentlichungstag) erhältlich. Der Pre-Load von METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCEfür PC startet ab dem 3. Januar; der offizielle Verkaufsstart erfolgt am 9. Januar 2014 für 19,99 Euro.

     

    Alle Preise- und Rabattangaben sind unverbindliche Preisempfehlungen.

    Valve’s service is doing pretty well and it is expected to do even better when the so-called ‚Steam Machines‘ will release the next year. These machines could directly rivalize with traditional consoles eating a portion of their market.

    Steam controllers will only be made by Valve

    Reading Time: < 1 minute

    Valve’s Greg Coomer has revealed to IGN that only Valve will be manufacturing Steam Controllers due to the carefully tuned product they have.

    The controller is going to be a Valve product, we’re going to manufacture it. We’re going to supply all the people who are making third party Steam Machines with controllers. It’s not really because we’re super anxious to get in the hardware business and we think it’s the best way to turn 90 degrees and start racing toward success in hardware and making money in that way. It’s really because we want the controllers to exist. We want them to have the attributes that we think are important, that allow people to play all the games on Steam, and we didn’t think that it was really going to be possible to outsource the design for manufacturing and the finishing of the controller in a way that would allow third parties to take from us an idea or a reference design and bring it to market soon enough. We just think that, for now, at least, we have to do that ourselves. So we’re going to be doing high volume production of the controller for ourselves.

    Call of Duty: Ghosts Takes over the #1 Spot on Xbox Live

    Call of Duty: Ghosts Sets New High Watermark for Average Player Session Length

    Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), announced today that the company sold more than $1 billion of Call of Duty®: Ghosts into shops worldwide as of day one.

    „Call of Duty is by far the largest console franchise of this generation,“ said Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard. „More people have played Call of Duty this year than ever before, logging four billion hours of gameplay. And in the last 12 months, Call of Duty®: Black Ops II, including its digital content, generated more revenues than any other console game ever has in a single year. Although it is too early to assess sell-through for Call of Duty: Ghosts, it’s launching at a time when the franchise has never been more popular.“

    Millions of people are already playing Call of Duty: Ghosts online. Since its release yesterday, Call of Duty: Ghosts has moved to the #1 spot as the most played game on Xbox Live, according to Microsoft. Additionally, Activision confirmed that on the Xbox 360 videogames and entertainment system from Microsoft, average player sessions for Ghosts have been longer than either Black Ops II or Call of Duty®:Modern Warfare® 3, during the same time period.

    Call of Duty: Ghosts launched at 15,000 midnight openings around the world. Fans around the world shared their excitement in social media, with Call of Duty-related terms trending an astounding 20 times globally on Twitter in the last 24 hours.

    „Ghosts is an amazing game which ushers in the next generation of Call of Duty. The team at Infinity Ward has delivered yet another epic thrill ride in the campaign, and what I think is our best multiplayer game yet,“ said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. „This is the must have launch title for the next generation of consoles, and we expect Call of Duty: Ghosts to be the most successful launch title for the Xbox One and PS4 by a wide margin. In fact, according to GameStop, Call of Duty: Ghosts is their most pre-reserved next gen title.“

  • Batman: Arkham Origins Wii U and PC disc version delayed in Europe

    Batman: Arkham Origins Wii U and PC disc version delayed in Europe

    Reading Time: < 1 minute

    Bad news we have here, it seems that the European owners of a Wii U or the PC users who wanted to get the new Batman: Arkham Origins on disc will have to wait until November 8 to get their hands on it. This is what Warner Bros has revealed on a recent interview by Eurogamer. The 3DS version of Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate will also be delayed to this date.


    Here’s the Eurogamer post about it:

     

    Warner Bros. has told Eurogamer that Batman: Arkham Origins‘ Wii U and physical PC versions will arrive in Europe on 8th November, a fortnight later than the game’s launch on other platforms.

    Strangely, the same isn’t true elsewhere. In North America, the game’s worldwide release date – next Friday, 25th October – applies across every version.

    It’s unclear what the difference is in Europe.

    PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 editions will still arrive next week in the UK, Warner Bros. reassured. So too will the PlayStation Vita version of Arkham Origins: Blackgate, a spin-off developed by the ex-Metroid Prime devs at Armature Studios.

    But the 3DS version of Blackgate is also going to arrive late in the UK – again, on 8th November.

    Finally, it’s worthwhile noting that there’ll be another difference between the US and UK’s Wii U editions of Arkham Origins – the price. North America will get a discounted RRP due the Wii U version’s lack of multiplayer mode. No plans have been announced for a similar discount in the UK – in fact at many retailers, the Wii U version is the most expensive.

    Dark Matter now on Steam and GOG

    Reading Time: < 1 minute

    Developed by InterWave Studios and published by Iceberg Interactive this horror survival side-scroller named Dark Matter has arrived on Steam and GOG, and is available for Linux, Mac and PC for just $15 excluding the 10% off launch offer (You get the three versions at once).


    For all of you than didn’t know the game, it is a tactical 2.5D adventure set in an abandoned spaceship full of alien enemies where you have to go trough 14 levels using you 4 weapons and the different ammo types for it.

     

    The Endeavour was a deep space exploration vessel, tasked with exploring an anomaly at the edge of our galaxy. A year into its mission, after a confusing burst of static about ‘light’ and ‘angels’, the Endeavour was never heard from again. Now, almost seventy years after that final transmission, you emerge from cryosleep to find the Endeavour a dying wreck, wedged in the ring of alien machinery that orbits the anomaly.

    Dark Matter is a 2.5D side-scrolling survival horror game, set in a derelict spaceship besieged by a sinister alien presence, and infested with deadly parasites. As the Ensign, you must explore fetid hallways and abandoned facilities, scavenging for parts and blueprints, expanding your arsenal to up to four deadly weapons and freely customize each to fit your combat style against intelligent, reactive enemies. Dark Matter delivers a hard-hitting take on the survival horror genre in deep space, with a heavy emphasis on tactical combat and exploration.
