Samorost 3 Has A Release Date, And A Breathtakingly Beautiful New Trailer
The journey of Samorost feels very much like the journey of designers Amanita. The first game in the series was a free quick-to-play web game built in Flash, but Samorost 3 [official site] - coming out on the 24th March - is a lengthy downloadable adventure following their astonishing Machinarium and Botanicula. From small beginnings, they're now one of the most respected adventure teams around,…
It's a bright and sunny day in London, which should be your first clue that something is amiss. You come home to find your home has been ransacked and a lifetime of collecting priceless works of art is now reduced to nothing but a memory. The only solution? Don a large and fabulous hat, walk confidently into your artwork's new home and effortlessly grab armfuls…
The Sims 4's big new feature is that your sims' emotions unlock context-sensitve actions and change their abilities. That means, as an example, that depressed sims make better novelists. I am here today to confirm that being sleepy and hungry does not make you better at writing game news on the internet. Also, that The Sims 4 is due out next Autumn, as picked up…
Oh yeah, Outlast! The spooooooky game set in an asylum, where the enemies are Hooman Beeings. I'd almost forgotten it, since we last mentioned it in November, but now the veteran-developed horror has a release date and a price. You want to know what they are? Well, you'll have to walk down this terrifying corridor.
You'd need a six dimensional tongue to describe Alexander Bruce's Antichamber. It is a game and a psychological experiment. I'm not even sure if writing about it is a good idea, or if it's somehow judging from it's non-euclidean dimension. It exists in a potential form right now, but it'll soon exist in exchange for money and a few frazzled braincells. Bruce has descended from…
It's obvious that RedLynx stopped loving us. We were there for them, day and night, attending to playing their games. But then oh look who should stride in with their long legs and big, muscley arms but Microsoft, flashing their wallets and giant cars. And Trials really became an Xbox thing, leaving us staring at the space where RedLynx used to be, sobbing. Oh, but…
Blocky multiplayer shooter that's not at all Minecraft with guns, Ace of Spades, is coming out 12/12/12, which is the most terrifying date of all time. Think about it. It's 6/6/6 times two! The number of the beast, doubled. And as John points out, it's nine days before the apocalypse. What's worse is that it will cost 9.99 in the currency of the beast (dollars).…
Which is your favourite foot-to-ball game? Mine is Semi-Professional Sunday Soccer V. What? Yours isn't? YOU ARE STUPID AND WRONG! Let's fight about this, while I chant some words to a popular 80s hit about how you are less masculine than I. Now let us consume liquid until we are ill or in prison. It sickens me when people say RPS is out of touch.…
Lots of news on that remake of Baldur's Gate. First of all, a release date - the 18th September. Second, a price - a surprisingly high $20 when it's released, and a teeny pre-order reduction at $18. There are new adventures, characters, and improvements. Details below.
World Of Warcraft's surelyitreallycan'tbereal update, Mists Of Pandaria - the April Fool's joke writ large - has a release date at long last. It'll be in the shops (shops?) on the 25th September. It's going to cost a bloody enormous £30 in a box, but of course the digital version, not requiring a significant cut go to the store, price of packaging, shipping, etc, will…
My plan is to release a 7X game. eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate, eXasperation, eXboyfriend, eXit ab urso actus. But until my great day reaches us, you'll have to put up with just the four Xs, and as soon as the 4th July. That's the date that's just been put on Endless Space, Amplitude's scifi strategy that's looking rather good.
We may not be getting BioShock: Infinite this October, but stepping in to fill the gap is what - in my brain at least - occupies a similar space: Dishonored. It's set to be released on the 12th October this year. Unless you're in America, when it's the 9th. Or Australia, where it's the 11th. Really? Wait, hang on, I made a rule about this…
Having just watched the latest episode of Game Of Thrones, I'm fairly convinced that any role-playing game based on the books will just be a simulator for having sex with your brother/sister. But the latest trailer for Game Of Thrones: The Game (is that really what they're sticking with?) appears to show that there's also some chopping people up, too. It's released to accompany the…
Playing the preview code of Botanicula made me so happy one of my legs fell off. So I'm delighted to report that everyone's going to have a chance to squeeze off their limbs with excitement on the 19th April, when the full game comes out. To commemorate, a new trailer has appeared, which you can see below. You'll likely lose a toe.
In the RPS "When is BioShock Infinite Out?" sweepstakes, Jim Chose Oct 17th, John Oct 18th, Alec Oct 20th, Adam Oct 21st, and I swung in with September 19th 7019. It turns out none of us have particularly well-defined psychic powers, and I was WAY off: mark October 19th down on your calendar as "National BioShock Infinite release day". That sweet trailer from December is…
Start getting excited, because Rock, Paper, Shotgun will soon be releasing its trailer to celebrate the announcement of a release date for the reveal date for its next trailer! But in the meantime, why not enjoy the trailer released to announce the launch date for Borderlands 2? Which is the 18th September in the US, then after a long swim the 21st Sept in the…
Ooh, I've come overall military. Let me try that again: "I don't know what I've been told, Spec Ops: The Line is out June 29th". Ah, military cadence is a wonderful medium for delivering game news. The Dubai set Gears of War-ish shooter that Adam liked but I have concerns about is taking advantage of the sweltering heat of summer and potential beach holidays. Imagine,…
This is the 'official' version of the Far Cry 3 trailer, which is almost exactly the same as the one that leaked earlier on today. I actually felt bad about linking to that one, but we're all about disclosure here at RPS: whether you're Ubisoft or John Walker, we'll get to the heart of the story, no matter what. So, tell us Ubisoft: why did…
This feels dirty: the Far Cry 3 trailer has leaked a day early, a CGI introduction to the lead character's holiday going stinky. I have just watched it and can confirm there's bad language, a boat, guns, and a man not shooting someone when he really, really should have. It also confirms the release date as September 6th, and has dubstep. If you want to…
Capcom's on-again-off-again romance with the PC seems to be firmly set to ON at the moment. Not only is Resident Evil 6 slated for a PC release this November, but Street Fighter X Tekken is set for PC in May. 11th May to be precise. That's a strange two months later than the console release, but it's still an interesting release for a platform that…
