0

Square Enix Collective, fresh from the success of launching the highly acclaimed first-person puzzler, The Turing Test – Very Positive on Steam with 400+ reviews – will announce its latest game in a worldwide exclusive at this month’s EGX, running Thursday 22nd to Sunday 25th September.

In partnership with PlayStation, Square Enix Collective will reveal its latest high quality and diverse title live on the PlayStation Access stage at 13:00 BST on Thursday 22 September. Those unable to attend EGX will be able to watch the livestream of the reveal, anywhere in the world.

In addition to the worldwide reveal, gamers and press will be able to have the exclusive first play and meet the developers throughout the show at the Square Enix Collective booth in the Rezzed Zone as well for four other recently released and upcoming titles.

Black The Fall

Black The Fall is an immensely atmospheric side-scrolling action adventure for PC and digital consoles set in a dark and oppressive land, inspired by the Sand Sailor team’s upbringing in Communist Romania. Developed by Sand Sailor Studio for PC in Q1 2017 with console later on, Discover a forgotten industrial world where strict rules and harsh punishments tore the fabric of humanity itself.

What will you do to survive? Solve puzzles to progress, all the while attempting to avoid suspicion and alerting the intent… and unfriendly… gaze of the State. Black The Fall will be published on both PC and consoles by Square Enix Collective in Q1 2017.

Oh My Godheads

Oh My Godheads is developed by Titutitech and is the world’s first capture-the-head action game for 1-4 players about Q1 2017 for PC with console later on. Capture-the-head is like capture-the-flag, but the flag is an ancient head that’s alive, angry, and after you! Fight with friends to capture these furious, living heads and bring them back to your team’s plinth… if you can.

Borne from a love of old school multiplayer games like Micro Machines, Worms, and Street Fighter, Titutitech wanted to recreate the fun, fast-paced multiplayer experience of those games while adding full 3D environments for more tactics, more depth, and more replayability. Oh, did we mention it’s got exploding pies?

Tokyo Dark

Tokyo Dark developed by Cherrymochi (out for PC/Mac in 2017)is a side scrolling point-and-click mystery adventure game for Windows and Mac. As Detective Itō you’ll explore Tokyo – following leads, collecting clues, and making difficult decisions with far-reaching consequences.

Tokyo Dark features a huge number of dialogue choices and interactions that affect character attributes and change the outcome of the story. Unlike a visual novel, you’ll control Detective Itō directly as you explore Tokyo, trying to balance your professional duty, personal life, and sanity. Will the past come back to haunt you, or will you stand by your decisions?

The Turing Test

In the Turing Test out now for PC and Xbox One, you play the role of Ava Turing, an engineer for the International Space Agency (ISA) who attempts to uncover the truth behind the research base on Jupiter’s moon, Europa, in this gorgeous first-person puzzle game built with Unreal Engine 4. Solve puzzles using your Energy Manipulation Tool (EMT) to transfer power out of one object and into another; power up and take control of artificially intelligent machines, manipulate giant structures and solve complex tasks – all woven into a multi-layered story based on the human struggle for control.

The Turing Test is developed by Bulkhead Interactive, and published on PC by Square Enix Collective in August 2016.

“After a highly successful EGX Rezzed, E3 and Gamescom we can’t wait to round-off our 2016 event calendar at EGX, featuring five fantastic playable games – including an exclusive worldwide reveal,” said Phil Elliott, creator and project lead on Square Enix Collective. “Last month’s release of the very well received first-person puzzler The Turing Test demonstrates the Collective’s commitment to delivering a diverse and quality catalogue of titles.”

0

Ready, set and roll on 7th October as Mario Party: Star Rush comes to liven up Nintendo 3DS with a host of new modes and minigames to enjoy. Taking turns takes a backseat as everybody scrambles across the board simultaneously, and thanks to the free Mario Party: Star Rush – Party Guest software, it takes just one copy of the game to enjoy a full multiplayer experience.

tb_3ds_mariopartystarrush_c

Plus, with brand new Super Mario series amiibo on the guest list, this is one portable party you won’t want to miss!
In the all-new Toad Scramble mode, players roll their dice simultaneously and move freely across an open map as a Toad. This means no more taking turns to play, leading to faster and more strategic matches.

Players can also get the upper hand on their friends by recruiting Mario and his friends, who will appear across each world map. Each ally has their own unique ability and will aid Toad in collecting extra coins and bashing bosses to earn stars.
In Coinathlon mode, it’s pure skill with no dice, as competitors play a series of minigames in quick succession, whilst racing around a track collecting coins and aiming to cross the finish line first. You’ll need to have nimble fingers and remain focused if you want to win as Coinathlon is the ultimate test of your minigame skills.

Burst balloons, play a magnitude of minigames and battle some bosses to earn coins in Balloon Bash mode. Players will trade their coins for stars, and the player with the highest amount of stars at the end will be the winner. In this mode you’ll need to be quick, plot your route wisely and make each turn count, as each player has a limited number of moves.

Traditional Mario Party rules coupled with simultaneous turns for a unique new approach to the series.
Party hosts who own the game can share the full multiplayer fun with three friends who’ve downloaded the Mario Party: Star Rush – Party Guest software from Nintendo eShop. Invite your friends to a local wireless game and enjoy a host of new modes, including Coinathlon and Balloon Bash.

Downloading the Mario Party: Star Rush – Party Guest software also gives players the opportunity to try out some minigames in single-player after completing some multiplayer rounds.
For those who want to go solo, there is plenty of fun to be had with over 50 minigames and 7 gameplay modes to discover – take on the CPU-controlled characters and amp up the challenge by choosing between four difficulty modes.
To celebrate the release of Mario Party: Star Rush on 7th October 2016, the guest list of Super Mario Collection amiibo will expand to include Donkey Kong, Rosalina, Wario, and a Boo amiibo that glows in the dark. Available later on 4th November 2016, three new amiibo from the Super Mario Collection will join the party: Diddy Kong, Daisy and Waluigi.
If solo players use a compatible amiibo in Toad Scramble, that character will appear as a support character from the start, with a rare item on hand to boost your chances of winning. And if your amiibo has save data from Mario Party 10 on the Wii U console, you can get another special die, too!

The new action RPG “Quote” is revealed

Vindit has revealed Quote, a beautifully-illustrated action RPG inspired by classic literature and surrealist art.

Knowledge has been eradicated. All that remains are fragments. The written word is sin and Bliss — the God of Ignorance — reigns supreme.

quote

But for how long? Someone is trying to sully this utopia with wicked wisdom. Find them.

As Novella, priestess of Bliss, you must purify the world of knowledge. Bludgeon the thoughts from the heretics heads, burn every book, kill every author. It’s the only way to save the world from itself.

You’re not alone. Your mysterious avian sidekick, Tatters, is here to help. With an insatiable hunger for the blasphemous, feed it well and your powers will grow.

Dish out divine retribution with over 20 unlockable powers allowing you to brawl and sneak your way across a corrupted world. Find quotes from and homages to the scope and span of literature, destroy books, trap and devour heretical authors.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YymBSciRCac&feature=youtu.be

With a lavish spoken narrative throughout, written by Alec Meer and Dan Griliopoulos (No Man’s Sky, Rock Paper Shotgun), Quote features seven striking and fantastical hand-drawn chapters based around the ashes of a purged culture.

After two years in development, Quote will launch on Steam Early Access for Windows and Mac Winter 2016. A full release will follow in 2017

Dishonored 2’s latest gameplay trailer focuses on Corvo’s killing abilities

0

Today Bethesda Softworks has released a new gameplay trailer for Dishonored 2 that focuses on Corvo Attano.

The narrative-driven trailer allows us to watch as Corvo Attano enacts his vengeance on Delilah, the usurper who has seized the throne from his daughter, Empress Emily Kaldwin. We’ve seen many gameplay trailers which starred Emily, but this is one of the few times we’ve seen Corvo in action, reminding us that players will be able to choose from the two.

As you’d expect from a royal protector, Corvo can be downright brutal in his tactics, abilities, and attacks.

The gameplay trailer features a lot of combat, killing, and the use of several abilities that we’ll become more familiar with when Dishonored 2 releases in November.
