While City Interactive has not released any E3 2014 trailer for Lords of the Fallen, Gamespot had the chance to sit down with Tomasz Gop and talk about it. In addition, Gamespot presented some new gameplay footage from the demo that was available during this year’s E3.

Enjoy! Continue reading
DayZ is "moving to a new engine", says Dean Hall
It's been a while since we last caught up with DayZ. Let's see how it's doing, and hope it's not one of those awkward meetings where we stand around and make small talk because nothing's really happened. Huh, well, it turns out the game does have some news. Its makers are in the process of moving it to a new engine, and, through that, fix many of the quirks and oddities of the current alpha build.
"I guess the big news that we’ve been telling here at E3 is that we’re actually moving to a new engine," Dean Hall explained during a Reddit AMA. "It is called [Enfusion]. So that is going to allow us to do DirectX 10 and 11. It is going to allow us to do dynamic lighting, which means no more flashlights going through walls, proper dynamic shadows, stuff like that."
Superhot on the Oculus Rift made me feel like Neo from The Matrix
Time-shifting indie shooter Superhot is one of the most interesting games to emerge from a game jam. The pitch is simple: when you’re moving, so is time. Bullets hang in the air when you aren’t walking, and moving more slowly gives you time to dodge, aim, and evaluate. It’s a fascinating twist on time and space in an FPS.
Grand Theft Auto V on Steam promises advanced video editor, other enhancements

Alienware's Steam Machine is "Steam ready" but will ship without SteamOS or controller
Alienware Alpha is a $550 Steam Machine we looked at earlier this week, during which we noted that SteamOS, the backbone of the system, isn't quite ready. That, and the inclusion of Windows 8.1 in the system specs, understandably led to some existential questions about whether a Steam Machine without SteamOS is really a Steam Machine at all; and the answer, according to Alienware, is "yes."
The Banner Saga composer faces $50,000 fine for his work on the game
Austin Wintory—composer for games Journey and The Banner Saga—is facing a fine of up to $50,000 as a result of his work on Stoic's Viking RPG. According to Wintory, his union, the American Federation of Musicians, have charged him for working on the game's soundtrack with non-union musicians.

Steam Age: Rise Of Nations Extended Edition Out Now
By Graham Smith on June 13th, 2014 at 12:00 pm.
I’ve always though that Rise Of Nations never got its due. Developed by Big Huge Games, it was a real-time strategy game which looked like Age of Empires but took inspiration from Civilization. Mainly that inspiration was that you could advance your civilizations across eight ages of history during a match, meaning that you could begin with Hoplite and end with stealth bombers just an hour later. If you missed it, or if you miss it, then there’s now a Rise of Nations: Extended Editions available on Steam.
Horizon Shine: Watch The Secret Best Conference Of E3
By Nathan Grayson on June 12th, 2014 at 5:20 pm.
It’s more or less over. In the wake of E3′s publishing behemoth mega-rumble, Los Angeles lies in ruins – buildings stomped flat like ant hills beneath the feet of roughhousing children. Microsoft, Sony, Ubisoft, EA, and Nintendo have all taken their rooster-like struts down the stage, and now millions lie dead or worse: in some sort of physical retailer, placing pre-orders. But that’s not everybody. One major player has yet to roll out its cavalcade of announcements, demos, and trailers. Last year Venus Patrol’s Horizon, the “alternative gaming conference,” quietly stole the show with wonderfully charming games ranging from Double Fine’s Broken Age to Capy’s Below to hole-based puzzler Kachina which is KILLING ME BY STILL NOT BEING OUT, DAMN IT. What lies in store this year? Horizon will begin streaming at 10 AM PT / 6 PM RPS time. Let’s find out together.
