EA have just released a handful of new screenshots for the two player co-op survival horror game Dead Space 3. The screens showcase Isaac Clarke's new "space suit" as he navigates through zero gravity envioronments avoiding space garbage along the way. Seriously, can we get a cleanup on orbit 27?
Co-Opticast Episode 94 is upon you and with it comes an episode full of different opinions on Resident Evil 6, the latest in big co-op titles to release this fall. Mike and Nick offer their views on the co-op title and whether or not it would be worth your $60. There's also some co-op news to chat about as Locke and Nick talk how awesome Sim City is looking, how War Z is coming, and the Co-Optimus Extra Live campaign. All that and more in Episode 94!
Miner Wars 2081 has finally hit its beta phase after extensive alpha and pre-alpha testing from the community. The game is now being balanced and tweaked, getting ready for release sometime later this year on PC. Miner Wars 2081 features both single player and co-op gameplay as well as some versus elements in a six degrees of freedom type game - think classic PC game series Descent. The team has a Greenlight Page up to try to get Miner Wars 2081 onto Valve's Steam service.
Legends don't develop overnight; they take centuries of retelling around campfires, on parchment and over the internet, before they become lore. Therefore, to expect Rayman Legends to be released for the WiiU launch in 2012 is surely asking too much? To become Legend, it must mature into 2013 - or perhaps Ubisoft have just not finished tinkering with the game.
With the next Peter Jackson film, “The Hobbit”, arriving in theaters in a couple of months, now is a great time to reacquaint yourselves with the mystical world of Tolkien. Monolith Productions has released a video and a few new artworks of two more characters being featured in the future Xbox LIVE Arcade game, Guardians of Middle-Earth.
Opening up the Resident Evil 6 box, it looks quite empty. We've got a disc and a card for a Blu-Ray movie...and that's it. No manual to be seen. That's ok right? There must be an in game manual, something EA Sports has been doing for the past few years. Nope - nada - we are manual free here folks. What gives Capcom?
Serious Sam 3: BFE will be coming to the XBLA later this month. The old-school first person shooter was a blast on PC and supported four player local co-op and 16 player online co-op. The XBLA version will still feature plenty of co-op, but not on the same scale. According to the game's listing on the XBL Marketplace it will feature two player local co-op and four player online co-op. Not bad.
It's been almost a year since A World of Keflings has received new DLC. Developer Ninja Bee is going to scratch your family friendly, world-building, simulation itch with two new DLCs this month. The first, titled "Sugar, Spice, and Not So Nice," will feature a candy themed realm for your tiny Keflings to build up and explore. It will be available through the XBLA Marketplace on October 10th for 320 Microsoft Points ($4). You can see a video of the sweet new kingdom below.
This week we're lacking a AAA cooperative title, but that's okay. The single player epic, Dishonored, should more that make up for it. There are a few co-op titles for those of you who are into portables, spell casting, dancing, and happy warring.
Guardians of Middle Earth to this point was going to be a downloadable only title on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. Now though, the game is seeing a full retail release along side of the digital only version. Warner Bros today announced a $30 physical version of the game which will include a Season Pass code for access to all future digital content. The digital version will set you back $15 with the option to purchase the season pass separately, though a price hasn't been disclosed. Using some complex deduction skills, we're guessing the season pass will cost $15.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is coming to the PlayStation Vita, something that was revealed during E3 earlier this year. Details about the game have been scarce, we do know it serves as a prequel for the Black Ops series though. And with that sort of pedigree with expected to see a solid co-op mode being added as well, preferably of the undead variety.
If there's one game that makes thi writer really wish for a 3DS, it's Code of Princess from Atlus. The spiritual successor to Guardian Heroes (much as Crimson Dragon is the successor to Panzer Dragoon), Code puts beat-em-up gameplay, a deep story, RPG mechanics, and tons of characters into a bowl and mixes them together. The results sure look tasty, as this new batch of screenshots proves.
