Plastic Piranha Joins 505 Games for Rekoil

Today 505 Games announced an exciting new partnership with indie game developer Plastic Piranha to bring their mod-focused shooter Rekoil to Windows PC and the Xbox Live for the Xbox 360 later this year.

Rekoil

Plastic Piranha, the development team behind Rekoil, is comprised of industry veterans and modding marvels, and each team member has an unquenchable passion for creating titles that speak directly to the hearts of core gamers.

Already gathering a loyal following amongst hard core gamers, the eSports community and gaming media, Rekoil is a multiplayer FPS set in a world devastated by an unrelenting pandemic with a focus on support for modding, customizable servers, and esports. Rekoil is a shooter the way you want it.

Jason Brice, president and CEO, Plastic Piranha, said “We are truly honoured to be joining the team at 505. With a history of amazing titles such as Sniper Elite V2 and Terraria, an upcoming slate of great games like PAYDAY 2 and Brothers – A Tale of Two Sons, and a focus on indie teams like Serellan’s TAKEDOWN: Red Sabre and now Plastic Piranha, we are very proud and excited to be a part of the 505 family,” .

”The team here at 505 Games are really proud of the relationships we’ve forged with independent developers such as Starbreeze Studios, Relogic and Serellan over the last couple of years” added Tim Woodley, Senior Vice President of Brand & Marketing for 505 Games “and we’re really excited to add Plastic Piranha to that list with Rekoil; which promises to delivery fast paced, thrill-a-minute competitive shooting with player choice at the heart of the experience”

“For us, joining the 505 stable was a no brainer, the team at 505 truly backed our ideas and vision for Rekoil, and we feel that our team has delivered a hugely entertaining game, but we wanted to join the most indie friendly publisher in the industry today and in our mind, that is 505. I look forward to seeing everyone running and gunning,” said Kevin Dent, Minister of Chaos, Plastic Piranha.

Rekoil is focused entirely on balanced, infantry-based combat across numerous locations without killstreaks and other unfair advantages. From the fast moving Assault class, to the heavily armed and dangerous Heavy Gunner class, a player’s skill is always at the forefront.

This small yet powerful device features a built-in LCD display to monitor connection status, signal strength and data usage with a quick glance. With no installation CD required or startup delay, the NETGEAR 341U USB Modem makes it easy to stay productive on-the-go without having to constantly hunt for public Wi-Fi.  Other great features include integrated GPS for location-based services, and a unique foldaway USB swivels 180 degrees.

Pokemon Rumble U Coming to Wii U Next Month Only on the E-Shop

Nintendo of Europe & The Pokémon Company International announced today that’s the upcoming Wii U Nintendo eShop release of Pokémon Rumble U: a fun packed action game, with intuitive controls and wild battles.

Pokemon Rumble U

Pokémon Rumble U is the tale of the Toy Pokémon’s great adventure: after a mishap in the Toy Pokémon Shop, a few Pokémon capsules are swept down a river and washed up on a strange riverbank. Our heroes set out to find their way back to the Toy Pokémon Shop. Along the way our heroes discover all is not right: Can you help our friends discover why some of the Toy Pokémon are fighting each other, and what the enemy Pokémon are plotting?

 

Featuring every last one of the 649 Pokémon that have been discovered as far as Pokémon Black Version 2, and Pokémon White Version 2, with hundreds of moves to master Pokémon Rumble U will provide hours of entertainment for fans and new comers alike.

Pick up and play controls will allow players to jump in and play solo, or with friends, as they accompany our intrepid heroes on their quest to return to the Pokémon Toy Shop. They will pass through a variety of fun-packed locations, like Sparkly Playland, Mysterious Forest, and Blue Sky Park.

In Pokémon Rumble U the more Pokémon you defeat the more Pokémon you can befriend: different types of Pokémon have different strengths and weaknesses, so strategies can be developed to exploit these factors in battle.

Other surprises and pick-ups will crop up along the way – which will help strengthen the team, restore health, or cause damage to the opponents. Pikachu and friends will encounter Giant Bosses, and players can even use the Wii U GamePad to set off Touch Bombs when faced with many Pokémon in battle at once!

Up to four players can enjoy multiplayer battles: with cooperative play to defeat the strongest enemies with team work, or head to head battles to see who can defeat and befriend the most Pokémon in one go.

The game launches on August 15th exclusively for download via the Nintendo e-Shop on Wii U.

The Bureau has been erasing the truth for decades. The time will come for the truth to be revealed.
