The Witness, Jonathan Blow's sprawling puzzle game follow-up to Braid, is now available for preorder on Steam and the Humble Store. The bonus for preordering the game, which will sell for $40, is “the warm fuzzy feeling” that comes from paying for things up front, Blow said, adding, “It's exactly the same as buying the game at launch, except earlier.”

>>A 40 indie game. Yeah... I don't see it having the success that Blow & Co want.

 

HEAVY METAL PLATFORMER SLAIN! HAS BEEN DELAYED

http://www.pcgamer.com/heavy-metal-platformer-slain-has-been-delayed/

In retrospect, one of the worst things about my teenagehood was that there was no video game with a soundtrack composed by the bassist from Celtic Frost. Oh, to live one's formative years in the 2010s, at a time when dark metal pioneers are happily collaborating with the video game industry! There's probably more to Slain! than its soundtrack, of course – it's a gruesome 16-bit style action-platformer – but we won't know for sure until March, which is when it's now scheduled to release.

 

RAINBOW SIX: SIEGE 'OPERATION BLACK ICE' OPERATORS HAVE APPARENTLY LEAKED

Rainbow Six Siege will gets its first free DLC update on February 2, adding two new operators and a map to the main game. That's still a few weeks away, but someone with early access to the expansion has apparently leaked some details on the new playable characters. These could be mock-ups for all I know, and should be treated as unofficial. Still, if they are mock-ups, they're very well done.

 

OBSIDIAN'S FENSTERMAKER: "I'M ALWAYS UP FOR WORKING ON A FALLOUT"

I was a little down on Fallout 4, not because it's a bad game but because it's not a roleplay game anymore, at least, not if you want to roleplay anyone other than sarcastic guy, wide-eyed softy or unprovoked dickhead. Obsidian's Fallout: New Vegas beefed up Fallout 3's weaker RPG systems to the delight of many, and designer Eric Fenstermaker has revealed that the team would like to do it all again.

>>What do you think, Fallout fans, would you like another Fallout by Obsidian?

 

SHELTER 2 EXPANDALONE PAWS ANNOUNCED

Developer Might and Delight has announced the slightly confusing name of their new project: 'Paws, a Shelter 2 game', which won't require Shelter 2 to play. To me, that means a new, standalone game with the freedom to recycle assets and ideas—an exapandalone, in other words. Paws arrives on Steam March 24.
