Devil Daggers is “a fast-paced shooter that places you in an abyssal arena to face endless legions of demons,” being developed by a team that includes one of the guys behind the most excellent Dustforce. It hit Steam Greenlight last October and made the cut in short order, and today the developers announced that it will go live on February 18.

BETHESDA MAKES FAN DESTROY RECORDS FOR REFUND

http://www.pcgamer.com/bethesda-makes-fan-destroy-records-for-refund/

Ouch. The last time I felt like this I was euthanising a Companion Cube. Paul Watson requested a refund from Bethesda on discovering that one of the discs in his $125 limited edition four-disc Fallout 3 vinyl soundtrack was warped. He was refunded $25 for the one damaged item. For Watson to receive the remainder, a condition—rather, a test of mental fortitude—was imposed. He would have to destroy the remaining vinyls and provide proof.

>>I'm not a collector, but yeah, Ouch!

 

TRACKMANIA TURBO GETS SET FOR MARCH

Trackmania Turbo, the latest instalment in the frenetic, cathartic arcade racing series, was delayed from its November 2015 release in order to "enhance the campaign and the game’s interface", get the online infrastructure stable and add in a new user-made map mode. Basically, finish the game. That finishing line is finally in sight, with Turbo set to release March 25.

CAPCOM LAUNCHES STREET FIGHTER 5 INTRO SERIES

http://www.pcgamer.com/capcom-launches-street-fighter-5-intro-series/

Not having touched a fighting game since discovering the button-mashing, side-on easter egg in Enter The Matrix, I find Street Fighter and its ilk immensely intimidating. The best players tend to have been brawling since they were old enough to get hands round a fight stick, so coming in fresh with neither coordination nor ability to distinguish one fighter from another is a big hill to climb. This one fires electricity, apparently. Capcom seems to have recognised the potential for bafflement and is releasing an introduction video for each of Street Fighter V's characters, summarising basic attributes for noobs and pointing out differences from previous incarnations for series followers.
