Call of Duty Infinite Warfare Announced for Next Gen Consoles

Infinite Warfare

If anyone has been awaiting for announcements for Call of Duty, we know it’s the fans. Especially after the accidental leaks by Sony on the store that revealed Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare as the next entry in the series. While the game was at first seemingly going to take place purely in space, many players began to denounce it. However, today, Activision has confirmed that Infinite Warfare will be the first title in the Call of Duty franchise to venture past the realms of earth, and into the possible future of man and space in our very own solar system. While the game isn’t deploying the idea of a science fiction approach or even massive space battle approach, Infinite Warfare is at its core a Call of Duty. This means boots will be on the ground with infantry combat on the ground as well as in the depths of space.

While piloting vehicle in combat will happen, the game will approach space as a plausible battleground. With that, players will be taking to never before seen war zones. While the team has been heavily focusing on the games story, they are looking at how to push the boundaries for online combat. Maps will be in never-before seen locales while also using new mechanics to play. This will allow for fun, frantic combat in each multiplayer occasion.

For those of you who prefer Zombies, Infinity Ward has announced that a all new cooperative Zombies mode will be there as players take on a new story with new features. More about that, however, will be released at a later date. As with Black Ops III by Treyarch, the map packs will be exclusive to PS4 for 30 days.

Along with the games announcement, they’ve confirmed that the most critically acclaimed title in the franchise will be heading to PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One for the first time ever. In the Legacy Edition they have announced that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered will be included and was produced by Infinity Ward while being fully developed with Raven. The title will include all previous content including maps, story, and even a graphical upgrade to modern standards for next gen consoles. You can head to the the official site and plan your November 4th for a day of Call of Duty.

BlankMediaGames Turns PC Game Town of Salem into a Card Game

/ Dustin Murphy / Leave a comment

If you are familiar with Town of Salem, you already know what it’s about, and the fact it’s a premiere social deduction online game. With that bit of an idea of what it is, the game released in December of 2014 thanks to its Kickstarter backers.

AboutCards1

The developer has announced that Town of Salem is now getting a card game that will take players back to the days of the Salem Witch Trials era. This game is about deceiving friends as well as those playing with you. Starting back on April 26th, BlankMediaGames has announced they are seeking continued funding as the game has passed $131,007 with only having had a $10,000 goal. You can be rest assured this is a game that will deserve the attention it gets.

As players are assigned a random role, some players will also obtain some of these with unique abilities. While players are able to heal, attack or even investigate players. As players get their game underway, they will find themselves fighting for survival while throwing accusations at one another. As players do play, they will find someone going to the noose for the hanging. As players find nightfall coming down on their characters, the Mafia will conspire in order to kill off the towns leaders while the Witches hexes hitting unsuspecting players, and in turn? Players will find the townsfolk looking to eliminate the evil forces that are running their town a muck. The game will feature 40 cards that include 11 unique Town cards, 5 unique Mafia cards, and 6 Neutral Cards that players will find themselves using. Will you  be able to use them all during your time?

WerewolfOnToilet

For those looking to back the game, players will find themselves with tiers at the “Pilgrim”, the “Mafia, and the “Serial Killer” levels. So lets take a look at what each of these tiers comes with:

  • The Pilgrim – For $20 you get one copy of the card game.
  • The Mafia – $65 gets you 2 copies of the game, along with 2 NSFW packs (adult supervision advised).
  • The Serial Killer – $500 gets you one copy of the party game, a NSFW pack, an extra copy of the game and NSFW pack signed by the creators, and finally the creators will each hand draw a custom card for you.

For those who back the game, they will find themselves at home with a copy of free bonus digital awards that don’t add to the physical game cost. This includes in-game currencies (Town Points), in-game icons, four titles, and exclusive characters as well as achievements. With their game having been funded, the new stretch goals have been initiated through their Kickstarter.  For those that back it, the first goal will unlock more cards to the NSFW pack.

John Romero and Adrian Carmack’s Blackroom Now On Kickstarter

/ Dustin Murphy / Leave a comment

Night_Work_Games.png

If you were wondering what these two legends of the FPS genre have been up to, their game is now up on Kickstarter and it’s looking to be backed by the fans. The game will be DRM Free + Steam for Win/MAC, while it looks to release in Winter 2017 and will have a 10 hour campaign featuring leaderboard challenge mods, along with co-op, 1-on-1 Deathmatch, Arena mode, and will have 6 built in maps along with community maps to help expand the multiplayer.

They have also openly stated the game will return to the era of being fully moddable, will run dedicated servers, and will allow for players to create maps. This definitely sounds like a throwback to their days at id Software with DOOM and Quake. The title takes place at the world’s leading tech companies, HOXAR.  HOXAR has created a technology that allows people to be anywhere at any time. Sounds fun right? But what if this meant your world was a fully-realized holographic world that was indistinguishable from reality and took place inside of a giant black room? That’s where BLACKROOM comes into play. The title will allow players to dive into a world where military and police organizations train their specialists to fight against the horrors of war and urban terror through this device.

BLACKROOM_Cincept_Art.png

The technology has even gained favor among commercial clients have lined up to develop HoloSims that look to terrify adults while amusing children with delight. However, what would happen if the simulations began to become twisted and warp into each other? This is where something darker, more sinister comes to play, and you take the role of Dr. Santiage Sonora, Chief hNode Engineer at Hoxar who seeks to stop this trouble from worsening. With having leading-edge Predictive Memory technology showing that troubling anomalies can blend into the real world with the virtual, you’ve been sent in with both Boxel and your gun to investigate. This is also where you learn that what happens in the BLACKROOM is no longer just fun and games. It’s what nightmares are made of and you’ll be fighting your way through dangerous simulations that may just cripple your mind in the process.

If you are looking to back the game you can head over to the official BLACKROOM Kickstarter that both Adrian and John started to give their game some support so that it can be developed and worked on. As stated, the game is slated for a 2018 release window if the Kickstarter succeeds. Stay tuned for more coverage.

If you’ve been wondering where the new Legend of Zelda title has been. It’s been hidden deep in development for both the Nintendo NX and Wii U for a 2017 launch. With their announcement on Twitter (below) we can expect both to launch March, 2017, which means players looking to get the new console need to start saving up now.

With this information the NX and The Legend of Zelda will be their primary focus for E3 2016. This year will be a busy one for both Sony and Microsoft to take the stage with.

Game Developer Legends Adrian Carmack and John Romero Team Up for a New Game

/ Dustin Murphy / Leave a comment

There was a time when we all knew these two for their participation in DOOM. More-so for the fact these two helped forge the first-person genre in a way we never knew and carved the path with John Carmack to make FPS titles what they are today. Seeing as both of been departed from id Software Since 1997 and 2003, respectively in order, Adrian Carmack and John Romero have been hard at work doing what they do best; enjoying video games and life. While Adrian Carmack has been MIA for sometime, it’s nice to see he’s once more returning to what they do best, make weird shit look awesome.

Night_Work_Games.png

Recently the two have announced they are teaming up for a FPS title by the name of “The Return”, which I accidentally stumbled upon when sifting through YouTube last night watching video game highlights for PAX East. The title’s website aims at April 25th for an announcement, which we can probably be rest-assured that it’ll be a trailer for the upcoming game versus the games announcement itself which they made in the trailer below.

While the Star Wars like skit is enough to grab our attention, we all know these two are all about working hard and playing even harder. We’ve reached out to Night Work Games to find out more about the title, but we’re sure we’ll be told to watch for Monday, April 25th for more information.
