DOOM PROGRESSION AND CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS REVEALED IN NEW VIDEO

http://www.pcgamer.com/doom-progression-and-customization-options-revealed-in-new-video/

With the Doom multiplayer open beta less than a day away, Bethesda has dropped a big load of information about how the game's player progression and customization systems will work. It looks to be very extensive, and designed to ensure that even not-great players will progress through the ranks: Half of the experience you earn in-game will be awarded just for “showing up and making an effort.”

RAINBOW 6 SIEGE IS FREE THIS WEEKEND

http://www.pcgamer.com/rainbow-6-siege-is-free-this-weekend/

It may not be the best timing, given that it clashes with the soon-to-be-live Doom multplayer open beta, but Ubisoft is making its team-based FPS Rainbow Six Siege free to play for the weekend.

>>No, it certainly is not the best time to do it.

 

SHADWEN SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS REVEALED, LAUNCHING IN MAY

http://www.pcgamer.com/shadwen-system-requirements-revealed-launching-in-may/

Frozenbyte has announced that its new project, the stealth/assassination/babysitting game Shadwen, will be out in May. The studio also put out a “release announcement trailer” that shows off some lovely, and occasionally brutal, gameplay that faintly echoes its previous series, Trine.

>>It runs in mostly everything out there.

 

1979 REVOLUTION: BLACK FRIDAY IS A HISTORICAL ADVENTURE SET IN REVOLUTIONARY IRAN

http://www.pcgamer.com/1979-revolution-black-friday-is-a-historical-adventure-set-in-revolutionary-iran/

I first ran into 1979 Revolution: Black Friday in 2011, when former Rockstar developer Navid Khonsari announced his desire to make a game based on the Islamic Revolution in Iran that overthrew the Shah and installed a theocratic republic. A Kickstarter campaign a couple of years later fell short of its goal, but work continued, and earlier this month the game finally made its debut on Steam.

>>Before taking any decisions, better watch the official trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_50OJ1uuGoc

http://www.pcgamer.com/epic-stellaris-trailer-serves-up-a-tour-of-the-galaxy/

Paradox Interactive has released a sweeping new trailer for its sci-fi grand strategy game Stellaris that demonstrates, in less than three minutes, how much work goes into founding and maintaining a star-spanning empire.

GALAK-Z'S FREE EXPANSION 'THE VOID' ENTERS BETA TODAY

http://www.pcgamer.com/galak-zs-free-expansion-the-void-enters-beta-today/

Galak-Z was one of the hidden gems of 2015 – a viciously difficult twin-stick shooter set in procedurally generated, anime-influenced space mazes. I haven't managed to finish it yet, but for those who have, the forthcoming The Void expansion will be very welcome. It adds an endless mode tied to leaderboards, providing a decent reason to boot the game up every day.

 

HEARTS OF IRON 4 TO BE PARADOX'S "MOST MODDABLE GAME YET"

http://www.pcgamer.com/hearts-of-iron-4-to-be-paradoxs-most-moddable-game-yet/

Hot on the heels of Stellaris, Paradox's Second World War grand strategy Hearts of Iron 4 is arriving June 6. In the latest developer diary, PDS has revealed that Hearts of Iron 4 will be its "most moddable game yet", and walks us through a suite of mod-friendly features and tools.

>>That's a bold intention from the publishers behind Europa Universalis or Cities Skylines.
