Indie Royale’s Getaway Bundle available now


Indie Royale is back, of course, with a new bundle titled the Getaway Bundle. This bundle features six games and some music as usual. For a little under $6, you can pick up Analogue: A Hate Story, Shattered Horizon, Da New Guys, Waves, Miniflake, and Super Amazing Wagon Adventure. Each game is available for Desura except for Shattered Horizon; however, Shattered Horizon, Analogue: A Hate Story and Waves are the only available games for Steam. If you pay $8 or more, you’ll receive the album Handheld Heroes Volume 1 by Handheld Heroes. Also by just paying for the bundle, you’ll also receive the Da New Guys, Waves, and Analogue: A Hate Story‘s official soundtracks with the six games. Check out the trailer below along with the official blog post detailing all the games. Also here’s the official website.

Indie Royale is back with a bundle that will take you on unique adventures from the comfort of your own living room: “travel” to the moon, the American Old West, a starship called the Mungunghwa, and more with the Getaway Bundle featuring six independent games, including exclusive debut Super Amazing Wagon Adventure!

The first exotic location on the itinerary is the moon where you can fight a zero-gravity death match in Futuremark’s unique multiplayer FPS Shattered Horizon available for Windows on Steam. Celebrated by Strategy Informer for game mechanics that create “thought-provoking gameplay”, Shattered Horizon offers unique combat features, realistic space gameplay, 32 player battles and huge levels that offer hours of gameplay. Top contributors will be rewarded for their generosity in this bundle; the top 10 contributors will receive a Shattered Horizon t-shirt; in addition, the top 5 contributors will also receive a meteorite sample from the Sikhote-Alin meteorite (Russia, 1947) with display case and certificate of authenticity. NOTE: Shattered Horizon requires DirectX 10, a DirectX 10 compatible video card, and Windows Vista or Windows 7.

Next up is Christine Love’s visual novel-style game, Analogue: A Hate Story, which takes place thousands of years in the future and is also loosely based on the Joseon Dynasty in Korea, available for Windows, Mac and Linux on Steam, Desura and DRM-free. A current Indiecade Finalist, this game is focused around finding out the fate of a ship with the help of the ship’s two AIs after it re-appears 600 years following its mysterious disappearance whilst on a mission to establish an interstellar colony. Also included are the Space and Science DLC and the original soundtrack. PC Gamer calls Analogue: A Hate Story “ingeniously constructed” and states that “watching its narrative clockwork spinning is a huge part of the appeal.”

Offered along this journey is an Indie Royale exclusive debut; adventure on the Oregon Trail with Sparse Vector’s game, Super Amazing Wagon Adventure available for Windows on Desura and DRM-free. This 2D shooter offers random gameplay elements and a mission to traverse fires, avalanches and time travel while fighting against bears, giant spiders, buffalo herds, snakes, scorpions, sharks, bandits, wolves and aliens. Originally developed for XBLIG, Eurogamer raved about the XBLIG version of Super Amazing Wagon Adventure : “Hilariously weird, with a solid gameplay base, it’s really quite brilliant.”

Also offered on the “getaway” is a look behind the scenes of a professional wrestling ring with retro point-and-click adventure from Wadjet Eye Games: Da New Guys, available for Windows on Desura and DRM-free (also included is the original soundtrack). Da New Guys is based on 3 wrestlers from England (Brain, Simon and Defender) who have immigrated to America. The story begins with the kidnapping of Brain and his recently won medal; Simon and Defender embark on a journey to save Brain which leads them to the city’s darkest corners. Da New Guys offers pixel hunts, puzzles, a lighthearted story, tongue-in-cheek RPG elements and quirky dialogue.

Included in the Getaway Bundle is a twin-stick shooter from Squid In A Box Waves, available for Windows on Steam, Desura and DRM-free, which offers a rather unique destination that is “out of this world.” Waves is different from other games of its kind by rewarding you for killing your enemies by triggering a slow-motion buffer and the ability to bomb them; it offers quite lively chiptune tracks and some strategy elements when it comes to killing enemies. Offering five different modes, leaderboards and 20 levels Waves was recognized by Eurogamer as one of the “finest examples of the twin-stick arcade shooter genre to arrive in recent years.”

Last up is I-Game-Art’s retro 1bit RPG miniFlake available for Windows on Desura and DRM-free. A roguelike RPG, miniFlake offers great chiptune music; retro sound effects; and randomly generated dungeons, overworld maps location names, and NPCs. The goal of the game is to pillage dungeons, and this gets increasingly difficult with each level. MiniFlake is still an Alpha: an updated build will be made available on your Indie Royale Key Page every time developer updates it (and the Desura version will automatically update).

Finally, those who pay $8 USD or their currency equivalent during the Getaway Bundle will get ‘Handheld Heroes Volume One’ a project, directed by Saskrotch which consists of 41-tracks from leading chiptune artists. Featuring familiar artists like Wizwars, Alex Mauer, Heosphoros, little-scale, OxygenStar, Goto80, zabutom, IAYD, Bit Shifter, this compilation pays homage to Game Boy, Master System, NES, Game Boy Advance, Amiga and a myriad of other “old skool” consoles.

You can find more information on Getaway Bundle, including real-time statistics and its current price, on its official website or via its Facebook and Twitter pages. And a final reminder – get in early while the prices are still low (unless generous contributors drop the price), so “get away” and grab a bundle today!

Mechromancer concept art

Borderlands 2 is almost less than one month away. With that in mind, new trailers and more details are being revealed for everyone to get excited about. Borderlands 2 features four new classes: the Gunzerker, the Siren, the Commando and the Assassin. In addition, there’s the Mechromancer, a punk girl with ponytails who has the ability to summon Deathtrap, a robot. Within the Mechromancer’s skill tree, you have the ability to upgrade your companion, Deathtrap. One of which its abilities is an explosive clap that sandwiches opponents together than has a knock-back effect afterwards. Check out the latest video below featuring Handsome Jack and remember the Borderlands sequel will be releasing on September 18th for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 and the 21st for the UK.

Deathtrap concept art

You may have noticed Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchfordspeaking out against the “girlfriend mode” nickname on Twitter.

As reported below, the Mechromancer skill tree that helps video game newcomers is formally called Best Friends Forever. But Borderlands 2 lead designer John Hemingway referred to it numerous times as “girlfriend mode”.

“Borderlands 2 does NOT have a girlfriend mode,” Pitchford stated on Twitter. “Anyone that says otherwise is misinformed or trying to stir up something that isn’t there.

“The future DLC Mechromancer class has a skill tree that makes it easier for less skilled coop partners (any gender!) to play and be useful.”

Pitchford didn’t deny that Hemingway had said “girlfriend mode”. Instead, he labelled the term a “personal anecdote” that had been spun by the media.

“There is no universe where Hemingway is a sexist,” Pitchford added. “All the women at Gearbox would beat his and anyone else’s ass” (Eurogamer).

 

Assassin’s Creed III for PC release date confirmed to be a month later


Ubisoft has officially announced that Assassin’s Creed III for PC will in fact be out a month later. After at least a month of speculation after an image caught by one of Eurogamer’s counterparts, Assassin’s Creed III will be available on November 2oth for North America and the 23rd for the rest of the world for PC. Hopefully, the extended date will allow for more features to be placed into the game to make it as polished and excellent as it can be. Also in recent news, the PlayStation 3 edition will receive an hour long exclusive content like in the past release of Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood where PS3 players received the Copernicus Conspiracy mission. There is still no details on what the exclusive content entails yet.

Babylonians join Age of Empires Online

The Fertile Crescent booster pack includes at least 30 new quests (for users over level 20) set in Mesopotamia.

The features of the new civilization include an Ox Cart which allows for moveable storage on-the-go. There’s also the Ziggurat. This new structure for the Babylonians gives you the ability to recruit priests. With the Ziggurat, you can research Pharmacology that allows your military units to regenerate one health per second.

Check out the trailer below for more details of the new units. Also check out Eurogamer’s screenshots.

Indie Royale has launched their July Jubilee Bundle


Indie Royale is back with the July Jubilee Bundle and brings six games for your pleasure. The games that are included are: Puzzle Agent, Geneforge Saga, Oniken, Mutant Storm Reloaded, Swift☆Stitch, and Unepic. Puzzle Agent along with the Geneforge Saga and Mutant Storm Reloaded are all available on Steam and Desura. The other games, Oniken, Swift☆Stitch, and Unepic are available on Desura. Each game is playable on Windows; however, Puzzle Agent, Geneforge Saga,  and Swift☆Stitch are the only ones available on Mac. The current pricing is set at the minimum of $5.46. Pick up your bundle here before it ends in less than seven days. Also here’s a detailed description of the games after the trailer.

First up is a super-smart indie adventure with a puzzle twist: Telltale Games’ Puzzle Agent. Downloadable for Windows and Mac on Steam, Desura and DRM-free, this game uses indie comic creator Graham Annable’s unique art style to reveal FBI Agent, Nelson Tethers, who is on his first mission for the U.S. Department of Puzzle Research. Check out the game that AdventureGamers dubs “a charming lite adventure filled with quirky characters and challenging puzzles that anyone can enjoy solving”, featuring 30+ puzzles spanning math, logic and spatial thinking.

Next up are five old-school, open-world RPGs brought to you by Spiderweb Software: the Geneforge Saga, now available for Windows on Steam and Windows and Mac on Desura and DRM-free. Set in an alternate sci-fi/fantasy universe, DIY Gamer explains of the old-school RPG: “The whole series is very highly regarded, with each game giving you a rough overarching goal, but lets you go about it however you see fit, developing your own character and your personal squad of mutant minions to tackle the challenges.” So what are you waiting for?

Also offered in this bundle is a much buzzed-about 2D platformer inspired by 8-bit action games from the NES era: Oniken, available for Windows on Desura and DRM-free. Play a ninja named Zuku as you slash and hack your way through a dystopian future and battle a dominant military organization of cybernetic warriors known as the Oniken. Offering uber challenging boss fights, a campy sense of humor and great old school 8 bit music, this game can’t be missed. Destructoid celebrates Oniken for its presentation: “Oniken feels like a project holistically designed around one person’s love of ’80s action film and ’90s anime imports.”

Included in this bundle is Pom Pom’s critically acclaimed psychedelic shmup Mutant Storm Reloaded available for Windows on Steam, Desura and DRM-free. Offering over 89 (!) levels of frenetic fun, each level starts off easy, but quickly works up to large, tentacle creatures and regenerating enemies that are require skill to beat. You can’t miss this game, recognized by Eurogamer for being “thrilling, constantly surprising, and possessed of a wonky beauty that makes it unforgettable. … It’s a bit like finding yourself in the midst of a parasite disco staged within the womb of a jelly baby.”

Also “marching” in this parade of great indie games are two games from Sophie Houlden: Swift*Stitch available for Windows and Mac on Desura and DRM-free and a bonus game that was created during the Indie Buskers game jam: Rose and Time available for Windows and Mac as a DRM Free standalone. Swift*Stitch offers a plethora of levels, and this game challenges you *not* to press buttons to power your ship but to press the right buttons at the right moment to make it to the end of the maze. Included is a trancelike soundtrack from Aeronic that nicely contrasts to Swift*Stitch’s razor-focused play. Also included is Rose and Time, a clever time travel stealth game offering ten levels with a catch: you have to make sure the past you doesn’t see the present you, because that would create a paradox.

Rounding out the bundle is Francisco Téllez de Meneses’ labor of love, Unepic available for Windows on Desura and DRM-free. Unepic cleverly combines an RPG with a platformer and offers a quirky sense of humor throughout. Play as Daniel, an average gamer/geek who gets teleported to a fantasy castle while using the restroom during a D&D Game. Destructoid calls Unepic a “unique gaming experience” suggesting that this game is definitely worth a try if you “enjoy running around in castles, jumping around platforms and figuring out the best way to slay monsters.” Also available to July Jubilee Bundle purchasers are the “Royale Ring” (offering extra health and experience in each game) and 100 “Unepic Credits” (available via a downloadable key) that you can use to grab special in-game items.

Finally, those who pay $8 USD or their currency equivalent during the July Jubilee Bundle will get ‘Insert’ from Japanese chiptune legend Prof.SAKAMOTO, a $7 value on its own. This clever concept album, about a future where inhabitants have game cartridge slots on the top of their heads, comes from an artist also famous for his unique Final Fantasy piano performances on YouTube.

Lili to release in the coming weeks for iOS


Lee Perry, the ex-Gears of War and Fortnite designer, founded his new studio, BitMonster Games. The first game that will release from the recently formed studio will be Lili, an adventure RPG hybrid. The new title will soon be available for iOS devices. In addition, the game will us Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 3, after BitMonster Games signed a deal to use the engine for its upcoming releases. Perry assures the new studio will release games for PC as well. He stated: “‘Epic has been extremely supportive of our new studio and in helping us build the game of our dreams. We set out to create an adventure that is appropriate for nearly anyone. As a designer, it’s exciting to see that the Unreal Engine 3 tools are better than ever, and they provide everything we need to achieve a gratifying and imaginative experience'” (Eurogamer).

Borderlands 2 Badass system and screenshots


There’s a new infinite levels of progression system in Borderlands 2 detailed below and taken from Eurogamer since it was well-written and I’d rather not paraphrase the information and instead play some of games from the Steam Summer Sale 🙂 Oh if you happen to not purchase Borderlands from the Steam Summer Sale when it ends at less than 34 hours from now, Amazon is having a bit of their own summer sale and you can purchase Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition which includes the DLCs for just $7.49 (the same price as Steam’s) and it’ll also be redeemable on Steam. I really like the vibrant colors, bright greens, purples, and blues of Borderlands 2.

Gearbox Software has unveiled Borderlands 2’s Badass system, its character-wide progression system with an infinite number of levels.

As you play Borderlands 2 you level up your Badass rank, which is linked to your profile but provides statistical bonuses to all your characters – new and old.

Each time you use a token gained through Badass, the game randomly picks a set of statistics. Then, you decide which statistic to increase. It’s all powered by a secret algorithm the developer is keeping close to its chest,

Gearbox chief Randy Pitchford, who expects to see long-term players with Badass levels in the thousands, told Eurogamer he believes the system is the first of its kind.

“I don’t know of any examples,” he said. “There are a couple of games that have done profile levelling. Even Call of Duty multiplayer, your growth is profile related, not character related, but they don’t have character choices. You’re not growing characters.

“And I haven’t seen one that’s comfortable with infini-growth. Everything puts a cap onto it.”

Using data based on how Borderlands 1 players played the game some two-and-a-half years after launch, Gearbox is able to extrapolate how players will play the sequel two-and-a-half years after it launches, and use mathematical models to predict how the Badass system will evolve.

It’s all part of Gearbox’s effort to create a hobby with Borderlands 2, something players continue to play for years.

“Borderlands was a weird thing in the sense that, a lot of games are designed to be a story you consume and then you’re done,” Pitchford said. “Whereas Borderlands was this thing that launched and then both in sales and in playtime it kept accelerating, instead of just launching big and then dropping off.”

Borderlands 2’s expected enduring popularity should enable Gearbox to make a “really big investment” in downloadable content, much in the same way it did with Borderlands 1.

There’s also the issue of value, Pitchford added. He hopes that by creating a game that, technically, will last players forever, they will feel they’re getting value for money.

“They got to take a risk. They’ve got to spend some money. They’ve got to buy a game. And I want them to feel like, man, the value I’m getting out of this, it’s not only worth the $60 or whatever, I’m getting more value out of this than the last $500 I spent on other video games. We want that goodwill.

“So we’re thinking about it like a hobby and not like just a consumable, get it done and get ready to buy your next game.”

Assassin’s Creed III Boston demo shows off new tactics and combat system


I’m so excited for this game. Disappointed that the PC version is once again delayed, but hopefully it’ll be worth the wait. This demo set in Boston is certainly impressive in the improvements they made from the previous games. Take a look at it below. Also check out some multiplayer screenshots from Eurogamer. The new title will featue a co-op Wolf Pack mode which allows “up to four players to work together to assassinate NPC targets. 25 waves of targets are offered, with assassinations growing more difficult over time. You’ll race to take down your mark – or marks – against the clock, IGN revealed. Players will have to communicate and work together with others to reach the higher levels” (Eurogamer).

Splinter Cell: Blacklist Limited Edition available to pre-order


If it interests you, you can purchase the Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist Limited Edition. It includes A2 poster, bonus content leaflet, steelbook case, Upper Echelon Suit (“5 armour pieces,  with a unique visual and damage protection bonus”), and special googles that “shine gold”. It is exclusively for the UK and is available to purchase on Amazon UK for £39.99 for consoles and £29.99 for PC.

Vostok Games’ MMO sports some new screenshots


Survarium is a game being developed by the former S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 developers, Vostok Games. Their new game is a free-to-play MMO set in a post-apocalyptic world that was devastated by an “ecological catastrophe”. The title will be released for PC. Check out some screenshots below.

 

All-Stars Battle Royale to release in October


On October 23rd, PlayStation’s All-Stars Battle Royale will launch in North America. The following day it’ll be available in Europe, while Australia and New Zealand will receive the game on the 25th and the UK and Ireland will get their hands on it two days after the European launch.  The game will be released on PS3 and PS Vita.

Total War: Rome II set to release 2013


Sometime in 2013 (probably after summer), Sega will publish the next Total War installment. Developed by Creative Assembly, Total War: Rome will receive a sequel titled Total War: Rome II. Concentrated with the highest budget, Rome II will be the “most expansive turn-based campaign and the largest, most cinematic real-time battles” (Eurogamer). The screenshots look great and come July 6 at Rezzed: The PC and Indie Games Show, there will be a teaser trailer available for the world to see.

Age of Empires online goes free-to-play


Age of Empires Online has gone completely free-to-play now. The game was free-to-play before; however it was perfectly created so those who didn’t wish to pay would not be able to access a huge chunk of the higher end content. Therefore, you could really only try the game rather than immerse yourself in a full-fledged actual free-to-play game. Gas Powered Games will be updating the game to implement the new changes to their model as well as incorporate Alliance Wars. This new feature will be available for the players who are around level 40 and will be a team-based competition. In addition, the developer will be including purchasable vanity items. Once the update has been incorporated to the game, players with existing accounts will be granted 500 Empire Points, while new players will receive 100 Empire Points upon creating their account.

Chris Taylor, founder and CEO of Gas Powered Games details, “With Empire Points and this true free-to-play business model, we are giving players what they have repeatedly asked for… fewer pay walls and more ways for players to experience this legendary franchise” (Eurogamer).

 

StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm is “99% done”


There is no launch date for StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm expansion, but supposedly the game is 99% complete. According to lead designer, Dustin Browder in an interview with Kotaku, “‘that last one percent is a bitch’. Like we could do a play-through next week that we’re like, ‘Wow this is really great.’ Or we could do a play-through and we still have 250 items we wanna fix. You know, historically speaking we’re doing pretty well. We’re getting there. But I don’t know for sure yet when we’ll be done'”(Eurogamer).

Let’s just hope they figure out all the bugs and glitches before the launch date so StarCraft II gamers won’t have to experience the diabolical that surrounded Blizzard’s Diablo III last month which has consequently allowed Korean gamers to receive a full refund.

New smartphone game Assassin’s Creed: Utopia will not be directly linked to AC III, instead set pre-AC III


In addition to delaying the PC release of Assassin’s Creed III, Ubisoft has announced a new Assassin’s Creed smartphone game titled Assassin’s Creed: Utopia. However unlike Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation, this game is not linked to Assassin’s Creed III and will not affect your game.

“‘There are no links between the games'”, Assassin’s Creed producer Andreane Meunier told Eurogamer at E3. “‘But the narrative will lead into the ACIII narrative, since it’s a kind of pre-era to the Assassin’s Creed III era'” (Eurogamer).

For the new title, Ubisoft is working together with GREE. So far there is now launch date as of yet, but surely it will subsequently release around the console launch date come this October. There is apparently a huge fan-base that is in tune with the narrative side of Assassin’s Creed, such as the novels, comics, and even Assassin’s Creed Recollection. In fact these people just wish to read about the series rather than play the PC/console/handheld games. Really? I mean that’s all well and good, but the games are my favorite video game series. I guess those people just don’t like to “experience” the interactive part of the series. To each their own.

Assassin’s Creed: Utopia will not be a card game, but it will provide a bit more information concerning Abstergo, which will in fact be developing a program titled Utopia in order to “revisit and reconstruct eras” according to Meunier. Earlier this year the GREE Assassin’s Creed project was unveiled. According to that article by Eurogamer, the new game will hit sometime in December, but of course we won’t really know until Ubisoft announces the launch date.

Ubisoft delays PC edition for Assassin’s Creed, AGAIN!


Well this breaks my heart a bit, though I’m not entirely surprised by the news. It was inevitable, right? Ubisoft hasn’t officially announced or confirmed it, but “Eurogamer was tipped off about the delay by a publishing source who supplied the above promotional image to our Czech Republic cousins at Eurogamer.cz” (Eurogamer). It looks like the PC version and unfortunately, the version I use, will be delayed until November 23rd, though that is if Ubisoft decides to not delay it a second time. Assassin’s Creed Revelations released a month and half after the console’s launch date last year and then Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood was finally released March 2011 after being delayed since November 2010.

This is why I hate Ubisoft. Or and their DRM crap, though it doesn’t bother me as much since I’m usually always connected to the internet, though that one chance I’m not…yeah Ubisoft get your act together. It has been in development for years and you can’t bother to put out a PC release the same day as the console release. Seriously, shame on you.

Electronic Arts works with DreamWorks for film adapation of Need for Speed series


DreamWorks is creating a Need for Speed film off of the hit Electronic Arts game. The movie is scheduled to release in 2014 and will begin its production next year. Brother George (She’s Out of My League) and John Gatins (Dreamer, Real Steel, Flight) have developed a story that is about the series rather than on  a specific individual game. Both John Gatins and Mark Sourian will produce the film with Electronic Arts, while Scott Waugh will direct the adaption.

Electronic Arts has stated “In Need for Speed, the cars are hot, the racing is intense and the story keeps players at the edge of their seat” and the film will be a “fast-paced, high-octane film rooted in the tradition of the great car culture films of the 70s while being extremely faithful to the spirit of the video game franchise” (Eurogamer).

Until then check out the E3 trailer below of Need for Speed; Most Wanted 2. Also you can visit the official Need for Speed: World website to download the game for free. Of course, you’ll have to make an Origin account if you don’t already have one to snag the title.

Final Fantasy VII possibly coming to Steam


Final Fantasy VII looks like it might be heading to Steam. Square Enix registered a domain, FinalFantasyVIIPC.com, on June 15th which was originally detailed on GOG Forum. Additionally last year Steam’s registry listed Final Fantasy VII and VIII. The new version will have Steam achievements totaling to 36 and will also be supported by Steam Cloud.

“There will also be a new Character Booster item to max-out your HP, MP and Gil levels for when you ‘find yourself stuck on a difficult section or lacking the funds to buy that vital Phoenix Down'” (Eurogamer).

No Mercy hospital trailer is NOT a Left 4 Dead prequel


Apparently the recent trailer which is shown below is not a Left 4 Dead prequel. Although at E3, Payday: The Heist/ Left 4 Dead mash-up was reported as a prequel. However, Overkill Software mentioned on their YouTube video the following statement: “Have you ever wondered how the Left 4 Dead series began? It started with a heist!” (Eurogamer) But Valve confirmed the video is “100 percent Overkill made mission for Payday: The Heist simply set in No Mercy hospital from the Left 4 Dead series”, according to Chet Faliszek from Valve as told to Kotaku.

 

Might & Magic Heroes 6: Pirates of the Savage Sea out in July


Ubisoft is releasing a new Might & Magic Heroes 6 adventure pack titled Pirates of the Savage Sea. The new game will launch on July 12th for PC and will cost $9.99, £7.99, and €9.99 from Steam, Ubishop, and any other digital retailers. The new title will feature Crag Hack as the hero in the world Ashan. The content will include 10+ more hours, new artifacts, bonuses, and new dynasty weapon. Check out new screenshots below.

Resident Evil 6 DLC to launch on Xbox 360 first before PC and PS3


Resident Evil 6‘s DLC will launch first on Xbox 360 and at a later date release on PC and PlayStation 3. I have attached some screenshots from the upcoming installment; however feel free to head over to Eurogamer for more screenshots as there are 19  new screenshots in all.
