A fun day one patch for those who pick up Wolfenstein.




I can just imagine what the day one patch would be for the upcoming next-gen sequel to the Elder Scroll Series. 22TB and it still would be buggy as hell.

Transistor launch trailer




If I hadn't loved Bastion, I wouldn't have an interest in this game but at this point, I'm waiting to see. I'm sure I'll get it eventually but with Watch Dogs right around the corner, this one will have to wait.

Looks sweet.

Apparently Google has bought Twitch.

[cdj]

I have the utmost confidence that GoogTube will ruin Twitch as well. Ugh....

[jaymo76]

Disappointing if true. I'm getting tired of seeing these massive media conglomerates gobble up pretty much everything. I'm a huge fan of twitch and it will be sad to see it in any other format.

Sigh. And here I was just getting into Twitch with the ability to stream on the One and PS4 (though for whatever reason my internet can't handle it despite having good enough D/U speeds). So much for that. I have no doubt Twitch is going to turn to shit once Google/Youtube get their hands on it.

[JBHuskers]

Twitch passed on a Microsoft deal apparently.

[JBHuskers]

Update: The Wall Street Journal offers a conflicting report, claiming that while YouTube is in talks to acquire Twitch, the negotiations are still "at an early stage, and a deal isn't imminent." Like Variety, the Wall Street Journal cites anonymous sources close to the deal.

Amplitude (by Harmonix) reaches its goal on Kickstarter.

Why Kickstarter?

This project is intended to be a love letter to old-school PS2® fans, but we need to know that this is something you actually want. This is the project WE desperately want to make, but we can’t do it without your interest and support. Help us prove that there is a place for challenging, high-polished rhythm-action games in the modern age!


Given that Harmonix had to be rolling in dough with the success of Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and Dance Central, I have a hard time understanding a Kickstarter project. IMO it is something more for smaller companies that need the funding/press.

[JBHuskers]

Kinda like big time movie stars using Kickstarter to fund a movie project....

[morsdraconis]

It's because that game is VERY niche and, most likely, couldn't get the greenlight for it from a publisher to make it so they decided to self-publish it through kickstarter with enough backing from fans to show support for the game and the time it would take for them to make it.

It's understandable for a game like that. It's not understandable when it's a AAA FPS or 3rd person shooter.

[jaymo76]

Excited to hear that Tropico 5 will be coming to PS4 sometime this fall. I have wanted this series on playstation for a long, long time.

What happen to next gen topic section on the site?

What happen to next gen topic section on the site?

6 months after release there's little point in calling the current gen "next gen."

Halo was originally slated for Sega Dreamcast

EA does it again. Goodbye Mythic Entertainment (founded in 1995). I hope the best for all the employees that were let go.

Tetris coming to PS4 & XB1 this summer...

The PS3 version was really well done, so I'm excited to try the new game.

[bdoughty]

Well JB, I found your next Vita game.

Bullet Girls... Video is spoilered because it is not safe for work. Not even close to being safe for work. I think watching the whole video could make you a pedophile. All that said it is a Vita game, an actual Vita game.

Spoiler: show

Here is the link to your import, comes out in late August so it might interfere with how much Madden 15 you play.
