We are getting used to Ubisoft’s latest games going for bigger, better, and more badass than ever. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands finally shows the scope of the game we’ve been waiting to see.

Sate_of_Decay2_SC02 - Edited

If you thought you could survive alone? You’d be wrong. The dead are coming and they are more aggressive than eve. In the latest reveal for Microsoft’s Xbox One, we’ve gotten our first glimpses of State of Decay 2, which is quite the gorgeous game.

In their title we’ve learned that the game will feature co-operative play that will
Microsoft has announced that State of Decay 2 is coming out in 2017, and it’s an Xbox One and Windows 10 exclusive.

The CGI trailer showed a trio of survivors barreling down the road, taking out zombies staggering alongside the road. The game is a cross-play title with Windows 10, so it would seem that co-op play is a component of the title. The motto of the trailer was, “Nobody Survives Alone.”

Later in the game’s showcase, gameplay was seemingly shown, with survivors banding together and searching empty cabins and helping each other.

Fallout 4’s Future Has Been Outlined and it Involves Vaults

If you ever wondered what more insanity could come to Fallout 4, tonight has made your wonders come to an end as Bethesda Game Studios’ Todd Howard has outlined the future of the title. Let alone does this include some new tools for you to use such as Elevators, Conveyor Belts, and the likes. This future also includes a new theme park entitled Nuka World that’ll be just what it sounds like; a theme park. Let alone does it launch near or with the Contraption’s DLC, we also got a look at one DLC that just may have stolen the show.

The DLC that definitely caught the eyes of fans was the newly announced “Vault-Tec Workshop” DLC that will allow fans to create their own Vault. Let alone do they get to do this from the ground up, players will also be able to create what their Vault’s scientific goals are. Whether this is testing their vaults prowess in physique, substance uses, or even just all around to have one, the Vaults seem to be ones that can easily be invaded. If anything? It sounds like our dreams for Fallout Shelter being apart of Fallout 4 itself. If that’s the case? Expect some fun, weird, and delightful moments.

As of now the DLC does not have dates, but we are sure they’ll be coming soon as mods have just landed on Xbox One and later this month for PlayStation 4. Stay tuned for more updates.

Prey Reboot Announced With a Creepy Trailer

Prey_Trailer_SC01

You may remember a title by the name of Prey. The title was originally made as a successor to take along the roles of titles like Quake, DOOM, and eventually would fall silent. To some? It took the spirit of Turok and evolved it. To others, it was a title that merged what we loved about Quake and others.

Today, Arkane Studios Austin and Bethesda Zenimax have openly announced that the title is in development for PC and new-gen consoles. If development shows as it is, the title will fit in perfectly with the 2017 lineup with Quake Champions and The Elder Scrolls Legends.

Guardians of the Rose Heads to Kickstarter

/ Dustin Murphy / Leave a comment

If you’ve ever wanted to go on a tale of adventure with companions and an attempt to stop the great witches to free a kingdom, this game is your choice for the taking. As a member of the Royal Guard, a freshly inducted member that is, you are part of the magic keepers of the king. As you begin, you’ll discover corruption within the Royal Guard as the witches have now tainted them to their needs. As you begin your adventure, your chance is to attempt to overthrow the witches curse that has enslaved the kingdom while taking on giants, river spirits, dragons and more.

guardians_of_the_Rose3

For those wondering about the play style, the game is one that is open-ended in its adventure, one that allows players to explore whatever direction they wish and even choosing the progress to the storyline at, which they prefer. Luckily quests aren’t to feel like errand boy quests, but instead offer players a feel of accomplishment once completed. As players get their story underway, the choice is theirs between good, bad, and evil to influence a players ending. Driven like any, the game takes the familiar turn of graphical prowess and gameplay mechanics of titles like The Legend of Zelda, Gauntlet, and elements from the famed The Elder Scrolls Franchise.

Along with the inspiration from classic books and stories the games style was inspired by old school Arcade games that I would play as a kid at Pizza Hut and the local bowling Alley.

Guardians of the Rose Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/broc/guardians-of-the-rose-story-driven-2d-action-rpg

This game will be available on PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, Xbox One with the possibility of others.
