With only a few weeks away until its release, Blizzard will be initiating another huge release of Diablo III beta keys, giving the lucky beta-testers a chance to play the game before its upcoming May release.
It's been a little while since we've covered A Virus named Tom, an upcoming cooperative/competitive puzzle game from indie developer Misfits Attic. Players work together (or against one another) to complete circuits and spread a virus... named Tom. Today we have two new videos for you: the first is the intro scene from the actual game, the second is a dev blog that shows off several different controller configurations for four player local co-op on a PC, plus a few other things. (Cute baby alert.)
Welcome to the Season 2 premiere of Good Coop. Bad Coop. - a tale of two three friends who love playing games together. After taking a break from from killing insects in Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon in the last season, our co-op friends are ready to try their hands in another game - Call of Juarez: The Cartel.
We've been sitting on this story for a while, trying to dig up details on it, but alas we've only got a little bit to go on. Epic Games' China group is developing a 3rd person shooter on the PC aimed at hardcore gamers utilizing the Unreal Engine 3. The game is called Mercenary Ops and it'll feature both competitive versus and co-op gameplay.
The Co-Opticrew has been busy! This may be the shortest what you've been playing segment ever! That's probably good though as there's plenty of other content jam packed into this episode. Nick is back from PAX East with the report from the show floor as well as talking about showing off Blue Shield Alliance. Of course there's some solid chat about the recent co-op news as well. All that and more in Episode 85!
Bad news, lost souls of Boletaria! Demon's Souls servers are going offline forever next month. Atlus has announced a server shutdown before, but I think they really mean it this time. If you decide to fire up your copy of Demon's Souls you'll be greeted with the following message:
Last weekend at PAX East, I had the opportunity to check out TERA, an upcoming action MMO. Buzz has been in the air about TERA for quite some time, but it was only last weekend that I had a chance to go hands-on with it.
This week in Indie-Ana Co-Op we protect the sherbet farms of the galaxy (from whence did you think sherbet came?) from those that wish to take it all for themselves. You know, like space hippies and space squids.
@#$%! Epic has stopped production on a Bulletstorm sequel. Developer People Can Fly were working on a follow-up to the ribald shooter before Epic bossmen moved them to a new project. We know that the game didn't meet sales expectations, even though it was widely praised by critics. The game failed to hit projected numbers, despite including early access to the Gears of War 3 beta.
Torchlight 2 was supposed to see the light of day last year, but we were told to just go play some other awesome games while Runic continues to make Torchlight 2 awesome. So here we are a month away from the biggest PC release in years, that would be Diablo 3, and there's still no official word on Torchlight 2's status.
Incoming Capcom news! Lost Planet 3 was recently revealed. The follow-up to the excellent co-op adventure, Lost Planet 2, has a shiny new trailer you can check out below. I won't go into details on the video here. You can see all the ice, snow, and Akrids for yourself. I will say that the trailer has a very single player vibe, and from the details given at Capcom-Unity, the game apparently follows suit.
Sometimes it fun being the bad guy. That's why we're playing Payday: The Heist on PS3 starting at 8PM Central tomorrow, April 12th. Bring your best clown mask and head on over to the event's thread in the forums. Leave your PSN ID in that thread and find other friends to play with. Hope you have fun!
