Fully uncensored... oh zarx, you naughty boy ^.^

But, "russian voices + english subtitles". I didn't knew Russia were really such a big market for this kind of games.

Can't you tell from the coat of arms it's set in Russia?

You know those Visual Novel devs go the extra mile for authenticity. Especially when dealing with mature subject matter like going out with the Prosecutor-General, and I am sure being tangled up in an intricate web of political intrigue. This game will be the Citizen Cain of vidoegames I'm telling you now.

I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't pay attention to the coat of arms.

About Citizen Cane... well, it will have nudity and it won't have any censorship, so that's two pluses in my book!

The International 2014 takes Dota 2 to a new venue on July 18

Comment

This summer's International, lest it understably have escaped your attention, will be the first since Dota 2’s actual launch. Consequently, the grand invitational is moving to a 17,459 seat stadium a little north of downtown Seattle: the KeyArena.

Oculus recruit another Valve VR brain to work out of Seattle R&D Lab

Comment

You can only expect some of the world’s greatest minds to sit tight for so long, knowing their work will never see the light of day. Especially when they’re on first-name terms with the people in charge of the commercially viable, Facebook-backed alternative. Another developer behind Valve’s astonishing VR tech has made the leap to Oculus.

UNPRECEDENTED APRIL NEWS BLOWOUT: Blizzard Outcasts, Arma 3 Karts and World of Tanks: Crayfish announced

Comments1

What a relief! To begin a Bank Holiday Monday and be met not by a wave of snoozy out-of-office emails, but an unexpected plethora of games announcements - it's unheard of. Suspicious, almost. During what scientists predict will be a 24 hour coincidence spike, developers from around the world have chosen today to launch shock new games or declare company u-turns. I’m extraordinarily grateful.

There are really too many happenings to separate out into individual news posts, so I’ve dutifully collected them all here.

Nosgoth is a surprisingly good, blood-sucking arena battler - now £12 to play immediately

Comment

Do you like pleasant surprises? Then you might like Nosgoth, Psyonix’s free-to-play humans-vs-vampires brawler. The competitive multiplayer Legacy of Kain spin-off nobody asked for has turned out, somehow, to be a nighttime good time of shifting abilities and swift death.

It’s currently in closed beta, where the undead are cutting their teeth on the fleshy few lucky enough to get passes into Nosgoth. And now you can join them, via a range of six founders packs.

Godus was "on the boring side" at release, says Molyneux; "Like Call of Duty without guns"

Comment

Peter Molyneux games are always about faith - and when Godus came out, it threw the PC gaming world into existential crisis. Did he really leave Lionhead behind to sweat over a game that turned out to be a bit bum? Was that part of the plan, to test our strength of belief? And what sort of God uses their powers to crush beautiful Ordnance Survey landscapes into flat planes?

Godus 1.0 was boring - and Molyneux knows it.

“Our first release was 25 per cent,” he said. “What we were trying to say by naming that is, yeah, 75 per cent of the game is missing - it’s like giving you Call of Duty without guns. It is fundamentally going to be on the boring side.”

Bad karma chameleon: Minecraft bug sees players lose ability to swap skins

Comment

Mojang have reported that one of Minecraft’s best-loved mobs has attained sentience, and is running amok.

It’s no April Fools, though, but rather a colourful way to describe a bug. Minecraft players, ordinarily able to change every pixel on their body at whim, are currently stuck with whatever their last skin happened to be.

Bethesda "didn't mandate" Elder Scrolls Online subscription; "It was a mutual decision"

Comments3

Bethesda the publisher commanded Zenimax Online Studios into being; it handed them the Elder Scrolls license, and asked them to make an MMO. But no such order came down from on high to ensure Zenimax charged players a monthly subscription for the privilege of playing. 

So says Pete Hines, Bethesda’s mouth of marketing: “It would be fair to say it was a mutual decision. It wasn’t like they decided it, and we didn’t mandate it. There was a lot of conversation around it.”

League of Legends gets a new mode for a week, making everyone a death-dealing god

Comment

The real tragedy of April Fools isn’t that countless tricked folk become pessimistic curmudgeons, unable to believe anything anyone says ever again. It’s that an inordinate amount of these gags are actually wonderful, and deserve to become real, tangible things. 

Riot, at least, has gone all-out this year. The Ultra Rapid Fire mode for League of Legends is a preview for a phony update, but for the next week, it will be a genuine playable mode. Mana and energy costs have been shown the door and cooldowns have been reduced by 80 percent, making matches absurd, chaotic fights between god-like champions.

Sticks & Starships: Genesis will have you raising a primitive civilization into an interstellar empire while riding cassowaries

Comments1

Sticks & Starships: Genesis appears to be so huge, so ridiculously ambitious, that any number of things could have been placed at the top of the list of its features. In the email from Aloft Studios which I found in my inbox today, this was what they led with: “Taming and breeding bloodthirsty, gigantic, wild cassowaries.” I never realised how much I wanted this until I read it.

Narwhals also make an appearance, and you can blooming ride them. Sticks & Starships offers up huge procedurally generated voxel galaxies, and all I really want is for them to be filled with cassowaries and narwhals.

Epic's Tim Sweeney on VR: "It's going to be a bigger phenomenon than smartphones"

Comments4

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney believes that VR “will completely change the world,” he said in an interview with Polygon. 

The developer has already been working with VR, creating Unreal engine 4 tech demos to showcase the potential of Oculus Rift. At GDC, it showed off Couch Knights, a multiplayer demo set in a living room, where players command toys to fight each other as they scramble around the furniture.

The Wolf Among Us: Episode 3 launch trailer appears, absent a release date

Comment

Telltale Games hasn’t announced a release date for The Wolf Among Us’ third episode, A Crooked Mile, but that hasn’t stopped it from releasing a launch trailer. The cadence of releases was meant to be around the bi-monthly mark - though it was actually four months between the first two - and it’s almost reached that point.

Take a gander at the release trailer below, but expect a few spoilers from the last episode.

Kerbal Space Program launches asteroid-harassing update in collaboration with NASA

Comment

Kerbal Space Program’s Asteroid Mission patch has gone live today. The update was designed in collaboration with NASA, based on last years proposal to fire humans at asteroids. Or at least send a manned craft onto an orbiting asteroid beyond the Moon. 

As well as the new, challenging mission, Squad has thrown in a bunch of new rocket parts inspired by real NASA rockets, some of which are the most powerful parts in the game so far.

The stunning vistas of The Long Dark

Comment

Hinterland’s survival exploration game, The Long Dark, has a lot of things going for it. There are the voice talents of David Hayter, Mark Meer and Jennifer Hale; a team comprised of industry vets who have worked on Baldur’s Gate, Far Cry 3, Unfinished Swan and God of War; and it’s a freeform, ambiguous, open-world game of surviving a harsh wilderness after a global disaster. 

It’s also very, very pretty. Watercolour skies look down on stunning landscapes with more than a hint of a comic book aesthetic. Do your eyeballs a solid and look at some new screens below.

Star Citizen hits new stretch goal; Chris Roberts says he won't sell out to a big company

Comment

Surprising precisely nobody, Star Citizen keeps raising more money. It’s now up to $41 million, which means that it’s hit another stretch goal: the crazy procedural universe. 

“With this funding, we’ll be looking into procedural generation to help build the universe out in a greater detail and scope in ways we didn’t think possible when we started developing the game! We will have some exciting announcements to make down the line involving some of the talent we’ve been talking to about helping us with procedural system and planet building,” says head-honcho Chris Roberts.

Watch_Dogs – New Video Shows Off PC Version’s Wind, Water, Light & Tessellation Effects

And if so I hope they port the rest of the series too :O!


Hell yes. Im also hoping we get FF15 on PC too. I know Squeenix is currently debating it.

Heck hopefully Japan in general will start giving better support. Im still depressed over not having a Dragons Dogma PC port

While Konami has launched PES on PC since many years ago, Rising is the only recent MGS game that has seen a PC launch.

Was it only an experiment or is Konami really looking into bringing the franchise to PC? Well see, but I hope it's the latter.
