Project Beast

Hot off the heels of Dark Souls 2's PC release, we get an E3 leak of their latest game:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2014/05/02/project-beast-screenshots-leaked-possible-ps4-exclusive-from-makers-of-dark-souls/

It seems to be co-developed by Sony, which means it's likely to be a PS4 exclusive....guess I was gonna buy the system for KH3 anyway.

The cool thing here is that they're forgoing the medieval setting seen in the series for something a bit more modern g ...

Turn-based, delayed play games?
Similar to play-by-mail chess, know of any?
Started by Doctacosa on 28 April 2014 at 18:02
Is anyone here familiar with multiplayer, turn-based games that can be played non-simultaneously?

By that, I mean games where the 2+ players involved don't need to be online at the same time. An old example is play-by-mail chess: two players would mail their moves to each other, slowly progressing as each person makes a move then sends the results to the other. I'm sure there are some e-mail-based options to do the same nowadays.

I'm having trouble being online at the sa ...

The game takes place in the Meiji era of Japan, and you play as Phoenix's ancestor.

So, yeah. If this ever gets localized I will be absolutely stunned.

Koji Igarashi leaving Konami
Started by Doctacosa on 17 March 2014 at 17:20
Can't say I'm surprised about this: 'Iga' is leaving Konami after spending his entire career there.

He was the team lead on all Castlevania games from Symphony of the Night up to Order of Ecclesia, with a few notable exceptions, after which Konami decided to hand over control of the franchise to another group. It's no secret that I don't like the current direction of the series and completely gave up on it, so I'm entirely fine with his departure from t ...

Nintendo killing online gaming on Wii and DS
Started by Doctacosa on 27 February 2014 at 15:45
Nintendo has officially announced that they're terminating the Wi-Fi service for Wii and DS games on May 20th. You can see the list of games affected here.

I didn't play a whole lot of DS games online, due to the fact that the thing couldn't even handle WAP encryption and thus prevented me from using many routers. Still, I had a lot of fun playing matches in Tetris DS online, even managing to beat some cheaters by playing better than them... :) On the Wii, Mario Kart handl ...

Starbound
The beta is out!
Started by The Helldragon on 8 December 2013 at 4:27
So, who's playing this? In case you don't know, Starbound is a procedurally generated 2D sandbox sci-fi game, with tons of planets and sectors to explore, generated locations to visit, and lots of items to discover. (And Doc, there's crafting and building too, like Minecraft.)

I've been hyped for this game for a long time, and out of sheer luck, a generous person gave me their beta key. I'm loving it so far - it's the unlimited kind of adventure I've ...

Started by Doctacosa on 19 October 2010 at 16:43
Hot off the press, Professor Layton Vs Ace Attorney is on it's way, at least in Japan, for the 3DS. Artwork available too!

A Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright mash-up? If you thought that the puzzles in either of these series could get tricky, just wait until you get to try to solve mix-ups!

What a surprise, to say the least. It's a really strange mix at first, but this is something that could turn out great at the end!

I wonder if whoever's in charge of the new Xbox at Microsoft is bipolar or schizophrenic.

All that talk about the Xbox having a compulsory online check every 24 hours? That games couldn't be traded? Region lock?

They just pulled a 180 and dropped all that.

So Nintendo is shutting down the Weather, News, Everybody Votes and Mii Contest channels for the Wii in a few months. This isn't too surprising considering the age of the console, but I still expected them to keep those running a bit longer while the Wii U builds up it's own momentum. Of course, the fact that the Wii Mini (the most recent version of the console) has no Internet connectivity ma ...

I can't believe I almost passed it up.

The fact that Minecraft beat it on almost every occasion for indie game of the year is almost CRIMINAL. It's an experience that feels polished and complete and probably one of my favorite games of 2011. And I'm saying this in 2012, so there's not even time to change my mind.

Konami announced Castlevania: Mirror of Fate this week, a game set in the timeline started in Lords of Shadow. This means it's part of the ongoing reboot of the Castlevania series, and not the old continuity.

I've been waiting for a follow-up to Order of Ecclesia for a while now... and I'm terribly disappointed. This game loses the lore established over the years, starts anew with the characters, drops the beautiful hand-drawn sprites and completely revamps the gameplay. Th ...
