VALVE SUED BY FRENCH CONSUMER ASSOCIATION http://www.pcgamer.com/valve-sued-by-french-consumer-association/ A change in refund policy has not been enough to convince everyone that Valve is doing all it should to, er, follow consumer protection law. French consumer rights group, UFC Que Choisir, which litigates on behalf of the public, is suing Valve over certain clauses in the Steam Subscriber Agreement that it believes are in breach of French law. >>If you follow the link and read the 5 key points of that sue, they all make sense.
MINECRAFT: STORY MODE DROPS THE "WITHER STORM FINALE" TRAILER http://www.pcgamer.com/minecraft-story-mode-drops-the-wither-storm-finale-trailer/ Has Telltale ever put out an episodic game series with a schedule as compressed as that of Minecraft: Story Mode? I certainly can't think of one. The first episode came out on October 13 and the studio announced today that the fourth and concluding-but-not-final episode will launch on December 22. >>And here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLxuLJP16Go
EVOLVE NOW FEATURES A PSYCHOTIC, HOMICIDAL ROBOT NAMED EMET http://www.pcgamer.com/evolve-now-features-a-psychotic-homicidal-robot-named-emet/ Turtle Rock has added a new Hunter to its asymmetric shooter Evolve named Emet, a medical drone that's been "repurposed" for combat. Naturally, the upgrade process didn't go entirely smoothly, and so Emet suffers from a sort of robotic split-personality disorder that's left it part extra-helpful Claptrap, and part HK-51, but more homicidally unhinged. >>I had already forgot about this game. Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWlWpjUW29c
BRUTAL DOOM VIDEO SHOWS FORTHCOMING "GIB PHYSICS" UPDATE http://www.pcgamer.com/brutal-doom-video-shows-forthcoming-gib-physics-update/ Brutal Doom v20 released back in June, but that doesn't mean the modders aren't hard at work making it more brutal. The video above shows off the in-development "detailed destroyable bodies and gib physics" update which will roll out with Brutal Doom version 20b, which hasn't got a release date yet. >>Another mod news? Yes, I forgot to put it. Here's a video showing the "improvements": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEEIOHpwI5s
TF2'S TOUGH BREAK UPDATE IS LIVE, INCLUDES MANNCO AEROBICS http://www.pcgamer.com/tf2s-tough-break-update-is-live-includes-mannco-aerobics/ Team Fortress 2's Tough Break Update has landed, bringing with it 26 new contracts, a weapon-loaning program, and the ability to have your character perform dance aerobics via a newly added taunt (see above). >>Or better see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Buhi-LrSUlk
AMERICAN TRUCK SIMULATOR GETS A RELEASE DATE http://www.pcgamer.com/american-truck-simulator-gets-a-release-date/ Have you ever wished, as you were Euro-trucking your way to Manchester with crates of yoghurt in the back, that everything—literally everything—was massive? The cab, the motorway, the island on which you've found yourself? American Truck Simulator will make that wish come true on February 3. >>This piece of news has a video too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ficMiV3AfuE
TOTAL ANNIHILATION INVADES STEAM AT LAST http://www.pcgamer.com/total-annihilation-invades-steam-at-last/ The 1997 progenitor of the 3D RTS has marched its way at long last into the Steam catalogue. Total Annihilation has had a home on GOG for a while, being a bonafide piece of gaming history which has picked up 58 awards in its time, including our very own Gamers' Choice award for Best RTS.
RAINBOW SIX SIEGE FREE THIS WEEKEND http://www.pcgamer.com/rainbow-six-siege-free-this-weekend/ Hot on the heels of its first big patch, Rainbow Six Siege will be free to try this weekend—if you can get a referral from someone who already owns it. Each Rainbow Six player gets four referral codes to give out, and if that's you, you can claim them here. The free weekend opens today at 6:01pm EST and continues through to Monday 21, 12:01pm EST.
THE ELDER SCROLLS: LEGENDS DELAYED INTO 2016 http://www.pcgamer.com/the-elder-scrolls-legends-delayed-into-2016/ Card games are so much the rage these days that I'd completely forgotten Bethesda was cooking up one of its own. Slow-cooking, I should say. Though The Elder Scrolls: Legends was targeted for the end of this year, Tweets from vice president of marketing Pete Hines (yes, the chap who wrote the sick note) have confirmed that we'll see it in 2016.
And that's it. By the way, if you're interested in Unreal Tournament 2016, pcgameshardware.de has benchmarked 22 cards from the last 6 years to see how they perform. Oh, and Sword Coast Legends is free during this weekend at Steam. |
Just by the way, thanks for all the effort. Appreciated =)
