Divinity: Original Sin Moves to June 30 - Chaos Erupts Around the World!

6/6/2014

 
Picture
Larian Studios has announced that the release date for the upcoming, co-op fantasy RPG, Divinity: Original Sin, has moved back slightly, from June 20 to June 30.

While Divinity: Original Sin has been going through rigorous testing thanks to a huge community playing on Steam Early Access, there are still a few more finishing touches required before launch. The team wants to deliver the best possible game at release, rather than a game they're not 100% happy with, and will use the extra time to add voice-overs for a range of characters, as well as a number of bug fixes to make for a well-polished experience.

Players who have purchased a copy of the game via Steam Early Access will still be able to enjoy it until release, and Larian apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause players who have been patiently waiting for Original Sin's release.

Orbitalis from Alan Zucconi out now on Steam Early Access

17/4/2014

Firstly an apology we hoped to have an early review of Orbitalis up by now, unfortunately it's not quite ready but will be soon. 

The game itself may not have the big production values of a AAA title but it does have a hugely addictive game mechanic that will easily draw players in. You control a satellite and try to create paths that are always under pressure from gravity. More details in the trailer and press release below.

Out now on Steam access (PC only).
Acclaimed indie developer Alan Zucconi and UK independent publisher Mastertronic are delighted to announce the launch of 0RBITALIS on Steam Early Access.

0RBITALIS is a simulation game born out of the Ludum Dare 28 gamejam. The theme ‘You Only Get One’ inspired Alan to blend his passion for physics with gaming, accentuated by his trademark aesthetic.

The mission: control the trajectory of a satellite in different celestial situations to have it successfully orbit the various objects in the given time limit. The objective: figure out which direction to push the satellite so that it won't collide into any other objects while staying in orbit. Stay alert - you only get one chance to launch the satellite before you are left to the mercy of the gravitational pulls from other planets.

Test your staying power with probing missions and scan celestial bodies for the perfect launch time. Success is not just determined by how long you last in orbit - points are awarded by more complex orbits. With over 50 missions to explore and innovative in-game interaction, 0RBITALIS offers a unique experience blending simple but effective visual artistry with physics perfection. The music and audio by composer Doseone, known for the soundtrack of "Samurai Gunn", adds a unique atmosphere to the game. Ambient music and static noise are fused at runtime to enhance the player's perception of being in space.

Alan Zucconi said “When I developed 0RBITALIS, I didn't expect it to get so much attention and interest from players. Finally being able to see it on Steam is a moment I don't think I'll forget.”

Andy Payne, CEO of Mastertronic, added “As soon as I met Alan I loved him and as soon as our team saw 0rbitalis they wanted to work on it. Over a cup of tea, with biscuits, we agreed to work together. I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful partnership.”

ÆRENA: Clash of Champions Relaunches on Steam Early Access with New Progression System

22/2/2014

 
Picture
ÆRENA: Clash of Champions has relaunched on Steam Early Access, bringing new content, a new interface, and a progression system with rewards to the tactical game of multiplayer combat.

Available on Steam Early Access:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/247830/

With the launch of the new progression system, players can perform special tasks to earn badges that unlock new content, including access to new ships, increased AI difficulties, and Æther shell packs. There is even a badge for taking down last season's top player (good luck with that).

All in-game cash is earned by playing matches and completing objectives. Inside the new Shop are ships with unique abilities, specialized packs of Æther shells, and champions to add to your roster – starting with a huge discount on fan-favorite, Martel.

New Features:
• Player progression with XP and level-ups.
• Player profiles and achievements to unlock content.
• Opening of the Shop with Champions, Ships, and Æther Shells.
• New UI and in-game chat.
• Two new Ships with unique abilities.
• Multiple, upgraded AI difficulties.

Titanfall beta opens to registered PC players

17/2/2014

 
Picture
Just a day after opening the flood gates of the Titanfall beta for Xbox One users, Respawn Entertainment has just announced that the beta will be opened to Windows PC players. The announcement was made via their twitter account, and appears to be aimed at stress testing the game and the servers supporting multiplayer.
Picture
The beta will be opened to anyone who registered their interest before midnight of the 15th of Feburary, UK time. For those who registered, Titanfall will now be available through EA’s Origin store. Yesterday, when speaking about opening the beta for Xbox players, Respawn founder Vince Zampella stated that the company wanted to “max stress it”. 

Respawn Entertainment may be learning from the mistake of another EA developer, EA DICE, who experienced massive problems when they released Battlefield 4 late last year. With so many issues with the game, EA saw their stock prices suffered and are fighting legal battles due to misleading investors. 

Titanfall will be released midway through March.
