The last few days have been a Psychonauts fan's dream. Just over a week ago, the game was simply known as a cult classic whose unfortunate commercial failure had caused it to fall into the depths of obscurity, unfairly missing out on the respect and fond remembrance it deserved. With the announcement of Psychonauts 2 at The Game Awards 2015, however, Double Fine Productions, along with the help of a few enthusiastic financial backers on Fig, have rekindled the fire, and it looks like Raz is finally ready to kickstart his psychic abilities for the new generation.
The internet is full of celebrity videos. It's also full of cat videos. However, one thing it doesn't feature (yet) is a video of cats blowing up celebrities with lasers that shoot from their eyes. Well, the Hamburg-based developer Daedalic Entertainment are intent on changing that with the release of its mobile shoot 'em up, Shooting Stars, on PC.
A teaser site has been launched which confirms the development of System Shock 3, the next installment in the highly acclaimed first-person shooter series.
Following immediately on from the announcement that Double Fine Productions has teamed up with Adult Swim Games to create the futuristic side-scrolling game HeadLander, Double Fine founder (and game designing legend) Tim Schafer took to the PlayStation Experience stage to talk about the upcoming remasters of two classic games by his studio.
Today's PlayStation Experience brought with it several new looks at some truly eye-popping games. Not the least of these was Adult Swim Games' announcement that it will publish six new titles for the PlayStation 4 in 2016, all of which were shown together in one impressive trailer. You can watch this medley of mayhem above.
Koei Tecmo has released a new character trailer for Hyrule Warriors Legends, the 3DS update of the 2014 hack-and-slash game based on The Legend Of Zelda series. So far, we’ve seen Ganondorf dispatch crowds of Bulblins with his mighty trident, Skull Kid destroy legions of Stalchilds using his mischievous antics, and Tetra bringing her swashbuckling pirate moves from sea to land. Today’s trailer showcased an interesting new character whose inclusion in the game was announced last month: Linkle.
Disney Interactive is injecting Disney Infinity 3.0 with a little bit more light this month. In the run up to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the studio has released six limited-edition Star Wars Light FX figures to be used with their sandbox game. All of the characters wield lightsabers that light up once they are placed on the Disney Infinity Base, and included here are Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader from the Rise Against The Empire set and Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi from Twilight Of The Republic.
The developer Shin’en Multimedia has announced via its Twitter feed that the Wii U exclusive, futuristic racer Fast Racing Neo will be released next week, December 10th on the Nintendo eShop for $14.99/£10.99.
You have a lot to worry about as a human stranded on a dinosaur-infested island in Ark: Survival Evolved. You have to build a shelter to protect yourself from horrendous weather conditions, grow your own food so that you don't starve to death, and either kill or train the various number of gigantic, prehistoric carnivores running amok all over your new home. Otherwise, you could easily end up on the wrong side of a T-Rex's jaws.
