I agree on both things, although I wouldn't completely rule out Deep Down. After all, Dead Rising 3 was moslty on the same situation and we all know how that ended, right?
Please excuse my bad English.

There is always a chance! Sony is a bit of a different beast from MS tho.

Lost Ark is the Korean action RPG that impressed everyone a couple of weeks ago. And Smilegate has released a new trailer dedicated to this year’s G-Star event. Lost Ark is powered by Unreal Engine 3 and is being developed by Tripod Studio. The game will be published by Smilegate and at this point we are uncertain whether it will come to the West or not. Nevertheless, this looks like a glorious action RPG, so make sure to watch the new trailer! Continue reading

Dota 2 players have petitioned Valve to add another optional announcer pack to their MOBA. They’d like the voice of Snoop Lion (formerly Snoop Dogg, formerly Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr) to sit alongside that of System Shock 2’s SHODAN and Stanley Parable’s Narrator on the loadout screen.
Among the 1,700 fans on board with the idea is Snoop to the dee-oh-double-gee himself.
Elite: Dangerous developer Frontier recently upset a lot of people by revealing that their epic-scale space sim would be online-only. For many this was a deal-breaker, and gamers began to approach Frontier to request a refund.
Frontier have been willing to play ball in many cases, but initially made one thing clear: pre-orders of the full, final game would be refunded no-questions-asked. Purchasers of the beta version who have already been playing the game online, however, were flat-out denied a return on their investment, as were Kickstarter backers. But that approach is about to change following studio head David Braben’s discussion with fans in an AMA on the Elite forums.
Valve have kicked off a new event in Dota 2 that demands you seeks out specific targets in return for trophies and other rewards. Until December 7th, a list of targets will be available on the Dota 2 website that must be slain in battle by the community.
Wayward Terran Frontier: Zero Falls is quite the mouthful and the sort of name you’re going to forget in five minutes, but maybe you shouldn’t. It’s an indie space game that’s part trading and spaceship sim, part action RPG, with a style that’s not unlike Gratuitous Space Battles.
Players will be given command over a space station and custom ships in a procedural, infinite universe where NPC factions go about their business, at least until you board their ships and start murdering their crews, if that’s your cup of tea.
A couple of months ago, CCP put out a call to EVE Online players, asking them to submit voice comms for a secret project. At the end of the keynote at EVE Down Under in Sydney, CCP revealed how they’d used the player’s voices and experiences.
EVE Online is a bit hard to describe, particularly in a trailer, but this is why CCP wanted the voice comms of fleets and players - to create a new trailer that shows off EVE in a way that professional voice overs or flashy cinematics alone can’t down. The end result is “This is EVE”, and you can direct your eyes towards it below.
What is a weekend without decapitations and the din of battle and steel clashes with steel and dozens of voices scream out in pain or roar in victory? A rubbish weekend, that’s what it would be. You can avoid a rubbish weekend by playing first-person fantasy hack, slash and stab ‘em up, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare for free over the next two days on Steam.
It’s brilliant, so you should probably start hacking away at foes right bloody now. Or, after it’s downloaded. You probably shouldn’t go outside and start a fight.
The Game Awards is Geoff Keighley's VGX alternative, a show he also produces. It’s being advertised as a celebration of games, but like VGX it looks like as much attention will be given to trailers, announcements and random musical acts.
The 2014 awards show kicks off next month, on the 5th, but you can already read the nominations below.

Turtle Rock Studios, responsible for the upcoming monstrous multiplayer FPS, Evolve, have announced that they plan to release all DLC maps free of charge. Speaking to IGN in an interview, Turtle Rock Studios cited their reasoning, and it’s pretty simple stuff.
“We can't break the community up.” said creative director Phil Robb. “We never want anyone to get booted off of a server because they haven't bought something.”
Distribution of loot has always been a hot topic in World of Warcraft; one that’s been refined for over a decade. In Mists of Pandaria, a new loot system dubbed “Personal Loot” ruled the Raid Finder - a system which gives each player an individual chance of receiving an item appropriate to their class and spec.
It was such a success, that Blizzard used the system for Warlords of Draenor’s five-man dungeons. However, it was quickly reverted back to the old “Need before Greed” system after “team” and “community” feedback.
This wasn’t entirely true though, and less than 24 hours later of outcry and petitions, Blizzard put Personal Loot back as the default system for instance queue found groups; along with increasing the rewards for both systems.
Civilization Online has been a thing for over a year now, but every now and then we get a sneak peak at what XLGAMES and 2K have in store for their upcoming MMO take on the Civilization series. Their latest trailer, shown off that this year’s G-Star event, demonstrates the players creative and destructive capabilities; including that of the nuclear bomb.
Double Fine have let go twelve staff as a deal for an unannounced game fell through unexpectedly. The layoffs are only to affect the team associated with the unnamed game, and other teams will not be affected.
Winter is approaching faster than you think, as Telltale’s Game of Thrones adventure game has hit the Steam store. The first episode is slated for an aptly seasonal “December” release, and it’ll set you back £20.69/$26.99 - with a 10% discount to those that pre-purchase.

It appears Coffee Stain Studios are fans of Blizzard’s action RPG. In the latest free content update for Goat Simulator – that basically introduced an MMO expansion world to it – the development team added a secret level that paid tribute to Diablo 2’s cow level. YouTube’s ‘l3ardoc’ has captured some footage from this secret level, so make sure to watch the video below. Enjoy! Continue reading
Arc System Works and H2 Interactive have released an extended version of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift on Steam. BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend adds a number of game play modes, story scenarios, new moves, and an all-new playable character to further enhance the BlazBlue experience. Continue reading

The team behind the amazingly beautiful Titanic game, Titanic: Honor and Glory, has released the first Unreal Engine 4 trailer for it.

Batman: Arkham Knight is currently planned for a June 2nd release. Enjoy the trailer courtesy of GameInformer! Continue reading

Did you know? On the consoles, there’s a carbonite version of Team Fortress 2 that plays exactly the same way now as it did in 2007. Imagine that. Over here, it’s been onwards and upwards for the past seven years - a cycle of perpetual improvement for one of the best first-person shooters on PC.
It’s been four years since the Engineer Update that introduced Upward as a Payload map, for instance - but Valve are still trimming and weeding, and bettering the performance of the game overall.
Like Ken Watanabe watching his radioactive eggs, we like to keep an ear trained on the noises emanating from our Fraser’s study. Wailings, cacklings and chatterings are all par for the course, but our watchman last night reported something highly irregular: giggling.
Fraser’s been busy reviewing the first episode of Tales from the Borderlands, see - and it seems that Telltale’s first concerted effort at funny in quite some time has paid off. Until it arrives, we can sustain ourselves gnawing on interview snippets with the top brass at Gearbox.
Bohemia know that it wasn’t the bicycles or iffy third-person camera that made DayZ mod so compelling, nor anything captured in the fanmade, single player MiniDayZ. Instead, it was the chance meeting of two players in a context bubbling with uncertainty.
One of their goals over the year’s remaining weeks is to scrape away anything that might obscure that interaction - connection issues, crashes and whathaveyou.
Skyforge’s endgame is different to other MMOs. Whereas in World of Warcraft you max out your level and play raids with your friends and in Guild Wars 2 you can take part in world vs world PvP, in Skyforge you become the god to a cult of NPC followers and try to take over the world.
Business developer and PR person Johan Toresson will tell you that he doesn’t fit the archetypal image for either of his job titles. Scrawled inscriptions cover the visible portion of his neck, and tattoos travel up and down his arms. He looks, by his own description, like he’s “been in prison”.
This is the man working to create an eccentric creative hub for indies on the southern coast of Sweden - a business incubator for developers as literate in Third-Wave Feminism as they are C++.

The Alienware Alpha, the not-Steam-box, is set to launch next month, with four different versions estimated to ship on December 12th.
“It’s unique,” said Alienware’s Frank Azor when we took a look a couple of months ago. “Very few companies will be able to provide something like this due to the amount of engineering, development and thoughtfulness we’ve had to put in.”
Crusader Kings II has had more expansions than Henry VIII has wives. A lot more, actually, since he only had six - the lazy bugger - while Paradox’s grand strategy and intrigue sim has given rise to eight expansions, and lots more DLC. And while the last one, the excellent Charlemagne, launched not that long ago, another is on the horizon. It’s called Way of Life, and it’s a wee bit different.
When Irrational Games finished working on BioShock Infinite and its DLC, Ken Levine switched off the lights. He wanted to move onto something new, and that apparently meant "winding down" the studio. Over 70 staff were laid off, while Levine and 15 others remained to create a new, smaller studio.
But Irrational is now hiring again.
If you tune into any StarCraft tournament this month or next, you’ll note that everyone is playing on the same map pool we’ve had since midsummer. In fact, just last week, the DreamHack Open Twitter account reassured viewers that DreamHack winter would be decided using the Season 3 WCS map pool.
What’s striking about all this is that every single tournament organizer has rejected Blizzard’s Season 4 ladder map pool, which was compiled via fan vote from a list of StarCraft 2’s oldest and best-known competitive maps. While fans might wax nostalgic about the days of Daybreak and Ohana, the pro scene seems to be saying that the past is best left to memory.
On Saturday, Frontier Developments hosted an Elite: Dangerous premiere, showing off the release version of the space sandbox. If you weren’t able to go there in person, not to worry, as the whole event is now up on YouTube, with interviews with David Braben and the team, and glimpses into the greater universe that surrounds the game.
Richard Garriott’s crowd-funded MMO, the obtusely named Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues, appeared on Steam Early Access today, after going through the Greenlight process earlier this year.
Its launch on Steam coincides with a new update, release 12, which is available to players on Steam today. Its launch on Valve’s platform means that the game will now be running 24/7, apart from planned downtime for maintenance and updates.
Just as Barbarian Invasion followed the original Total War: Rome, on the heels of its successor comes Total War: Attila, where the organised Romans and their fancy, shiny armour face hirsute, exceptionally angry men. Attila’s hordes will be heading west and into the empire on February 17th.
