Two Sonic releases, one launch trailer. The upcoming pair of action adventure games for Wii U and 3DS are scheduled for release in mid-November. They've got undiscovered lands, an ancient evil, metal Sonic, and gameplay that emphasizes teamwork in the most cooperative way possible!
Viking Squad is an upcoming beat 'em up for PlayStation 4 that's all about beating things up. Well, that part's a given, but did you know it's also a little bit about raiding enemies from across the sea? After all, what else is a stereotypical viking supposed to do, munch on a cheese plate?
Anyone who's spent more than a week locked away in an 18th Century French Prison will agree the experience gives you plenty of time on your hands. New prisoners might take the Arts and Crafts route of Marquis de Sade and produce some of the most bizarre and twistedly erotic poetry humankind has ever had the horror to read. Or, maybe they'll use all that time to practice sword fighting with a quizzically British sounding man.
Shootin' time! SNK Playmore and DotEmu recently released a solid port of Metal Slug X on Steam. The enhanced remake (which is itself an enhanced remake of Metal Slug 2) features all the metal and all the slug from the original, plus a ton of handy graphical tweaks as well as online co-op for two players!
When a co-op mode was announced for Dragon Age: Inquisition, the Co-Optimus team were so ecstatic that we had to peel them off the ceiling using a spatula. The excitement continues to build for the 18th November release of the game as new high end PC footage has been revealed, as well as information on the solo story.
One of the highlights of Destiny, multiplayer-wise, are the challenging Raids. Players work together, sometimes for hours, to complete high level raids and reap in the potential loot they carry. Well, Bungie has heard a ton of feedback over the course of these last couple of weeks and is discussing the addition of matchmaking within these Raids.
Bad news for co-op racing fans, The Crew has been pushed back to a December 2nd release. But hey, it's not all bad. The reason for the delay? Feedback from the betas. That's right, the developers at Ivory Tower and Ubisoft Reflections listened to your feedback and are taking a few more weeks to work on the game. From the Ubiblog:
Interstellar Marines has been in development for quite a while, and definitely hit some rocky patches along the way. Luckily, this Early Access title is shaping up to be a fine experience. With single player, multiplayer, and co-op on the table for this sci-fi shooter, it's been an optimistic project from the beginning. I got to interview the game's Creative Director, Kim Jørgensen, while playing the title last week, and damn it was fun. We streamed the session on Twitch (if you don't follow us you should probably do that right now), but here's the footage for those who missed out:
Chariot is a couch co-op title that is perfectly comfortable being what it is. It doesn’t try to do anything overly new or groundbreaking for the platformer genre; it doesn’t introduce some new physics device. It is a simply a platformer that is meant to be played and enjoyed with a friend....
A new video recorded from PAX Prime features two developers from Gearbox 2K Australia walking us through Claptrap's skills in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! Take a good look at those skill trees, then watch some shooting and miscellaneous explosions afterwards!
The LEGO games always bring a whole bunch of playable characters to the party, and LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham already boasts a staggeringly large roster. The cast seems to have reached critical mass, and begun conscripting folks from the real world into this lighthearted romp through DC's expansive universe.
Ever thought your shmup screen just wasn't wide enough? Super Chain Crusher Horizon is here to save the day. Created by a little studio called Mindware, the game is played in a 3200x800 window and allows you to create big blasts that are over 2000 pixels wide. We're not sure if that's some sort of explosion record, but it should be!
