I also hope Destiny + The Division come out for PC - I have a group of friends who want to play it online with each other! |
The Devision was already confirmed for PC, tho talk on the street is that it won't hit this year.

Tho I probably should have swapped Alien for something else

Steam Machines that stream games to your TV, rather than running games natively on independent hardware, have to take a backseat to the high-end versions revealed this week.
Sony Online Entertainment has unveiled ambitious plans to deliver fresh material to eager Planetside 2 players every single week.

Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD is coming to PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on January 15, priced £15.99. Ubisoft has sent us a batch of comparison screens to see just how far it’s come since the PS Vita edition.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 sees MercurySteam refusing to rest on its laurels as it attempts to respond to criticisms of the first game and expand on its core concepts, as you run amok as Dracula himself.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 has received a new batch of gameplay screens featuring the campaign’s modern day sections, as well as boss artwork and more. See it all here.

Reaper of Souls, the Diablo 3 expansion, is slated to be made available for preload later this month, according to Blizzard.
MercurySteam’s next title will be released on Xbox One, PS4 and PC, but not on Wii U, according to the firm’s boss Dave Cox.
Kickstarter announced that during 2013, $202 million was pledged to a little over 8,000 gaming projects with $186 million collected by developers whose projects were successful. That’s the extent of the gaming specifics figures, but in all, 3 million people pledged $480 million across all Kickstarter projects in 2013 – up from 2.2 million backers and $320 million pledged in 2012. Thanks, Joystiq.
As promised back in December, Metal Gear Rising: Revengence is now available through Steam for PC. It will run you $29.99. The game was announced for PC back in May, and in June, it was announced the title would run at a “blistering 60fps” on most modern PCs.
Wargaming.net has announced the World of Tank European Season 3 Finals will take place later this month, and €100,000 in prize money will be up for grabs.
The Humble Weekly Sale featuring Frozenbyte titles is live. Now, you can name your price for three titles: Shadowgrounds, Trine and Jack Claw, a Frozenbyte prototype that comes with editor, assets and source code.

Banished, the medieval city building simulation title from Shining Rock Software, will be released on February 18. Originally slated for release in January, the developer states the current build “will be tested until release.” This included the final tutorials, help system, along with minor code and balancing tweaks. Banished will launch for PC and will run you “around $20″. A video is below. Keep an eye on the devblog for more information. Thanks, Shack.
Blizzard has announced that after an initial delay, the Hearthstone beta will be transitioning to Test Season 2 starting today, January 9, for all regions, during each region’s scheduled maintenance time period.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 lets you turn into a dragon. Because being an immortal vampire badass isn’t enough, apparently.
During CES 2014, Valve and Intel announced that SteamOS had gained native Intel support. Valve also said that the equivalent AMD support would follow shortly – and now it has, arriving with the latest update. When first released, SteamOS was only out-of-the-box compatible with Nvidia. None of this matters to you yet, I suppose, unless you’re one of the lucky few with beta access to the new, Linux-based operating system.
Dragon Age: Inquisition’s environments include a sunken ancient elven city; a gloomy, mossy forest; and an enormous, shattered bridge.
Here’s one for the veterans among you; Microprose RPG Bloodnet is now available on GOG. For $6 you can enjoy both versions, which were originally released on floppy and CD, depending on which system was the seat of your heart back in the day. The Cyberpunk RPG boasts a cool gimmick in that players visit Cyberspace, which is a bit amusing now but was very cool in 1993, especially given the then-novel vampire theme.
Thanks, Destructoid.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance cannot be played offline at present, apparently due to a Steam issue.
Planetside 2 will be getting weekly updates, Sony Online Entertainment announced yesterday, and has today released a new trailer teasing some of the additions expected over the course of 2014.

Since when is Dave Cox the boss of Mercury Steam?
I thought he was just Konami's producer for Castlevania, working with them.
Please excuse my bad English.
Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070
Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.

Since VG247 said so
But he is also in charge of Konami's European development so if their next game is published by Konami then technically MS would continue to answer to him lol.

Mafia 3′s rumoured developer 2K Czech is said to be closing its Prague office amid restructuring efforts at the publisher. Lay-offs and staff moves to the studio’s second Czech office are expected.
This year it was easy to look past the dull TV announcements and novelty iPhone taser cases at CES. Because the games business stood front and center, says Matt Martin. More »
Alien: Isolation developer The Creative Assembly dabbled with the idea of adding a co-op mode to the project once, but it was ultimately canned. Find out why here.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance launched on PC today, but problems with the Steam build’s offline play quickly struck. Kojima Productions has stepped forward to say that the issue should be fixed.
Jazzpunk is the incredibly bizarre Cold War comedy game from IGF finalist Necrophone Games. The team has released an utterly weird but brilliant trailer in the style of retro puppet series Thunderbirds. Watch it here and be confused.
Nvidia’s Tom Petersen has responded to AMD’s answer to his firm’s G-Sync tech, and went so far as to call the competition’s CES 2014 ‘free sync’ demo into question.
Project Cars is looking pretty swish, if the latest batch of screenshots taken with the latest PC development builds are any indication.
Until Dark, formerly known as Project Z, has been a new set of Alpha screenshots available, showing off the lovely atmosphere in the PC title.
Total War: Rome 2 has a new patch available, further improving the campaign and battle gameplay. Patch 8.1 also includes balances to campaign parameters, ensuring a more “aggressive and tactically-focused AI.” Players will also find opponents raiding their territories more frequently, according to The Creative Assembly. Full patch notes can be found through the Total War wiki. The patch will download automatically via Steam.
Blackguards is now available to Mac users through Steam Early Access, Daedalic Entertainment has announced.

free-to-play and offers extended access and features to members with Premium and Pro accounts.

Players who already have the game installed need only to download and install a small launcher, and it will update your existing installation files. More information as well as an FAQ can be found through here.
Broken Age: Part One will be released to Kickstarter backers next week as promised on Tuesday, January 14, Double Fine confirmed to Joystiq. In July, the firm’s boss Tim Schafer said Broken Age’s design had become too ambitious despite its record-setting amount of crowdfunding, so it would be released in two parts with the first half available through Steam Early Access. Sales from the first half of Broken Age and other Double Fine games are intended to sustain production of the second half.
State of Decay developer Undead Labs extended its development agreement with Microsoft Studios to one encompassing a multi-year and multi-titles , the company announced.
StarCraft 2 patch 2.1 will contain and new rewards when it releases, according to Blizzard. Per a post over on Battle.net, a total of six Carbot-themed portraits and decals will be made available for for each race, and to earn them, all you have to do is Heart of the Swarm. Achieving levels 32 and 35 with Protoss, Terran, or Zerg will respectively award you with the decal and portrait specific to that race. Reach level 35 with each of the three races and you will collect them all. The level cap for each race will also be increased from 30 to 35. You can find out more through the link.
EverQuest Next Landmark’s associate producer Eric Smith and the game’s lead building and UI designer Jake Sones are featured in the developer video posted below. In it, the duo show off the advanced building tools in the sandbox title as well as the selection tool, line tool, and more. Alpha sign-ups are through here, and SOE teased last month that the tester could possibly start sometime in late January.
Maxis apparently really wants people to mod SimCity, according to a recent blog post encouraging the modding community to grow. When I think of SimCity, I rarely think of freedom and creativity, with its weird limitations and restrictions, but that doesn't mean modders have to be so restricted.
I'm joking, of course, because Maxis has a bunch of caveats for modders, a list of rules, which they hope will ensure "the safety and integrity of the SimCity experience". The sound you're hearing is my head smashing through my desk and sending my mouse, selection of brightly-coloured pens and slighty-too-full ashtray flying across the room.
I'm rather fond of Torchlight II. So much so, that I put it on my best PC RPG list, a decision that I'm going to call "divisive" because that seems better than "made people think I was gargling paint thinner".
Instead of apologising for not putting Diablo in the list instead, I'm just going to direct you to Torchlight II's free weekend on Steam. If you're diligent, you can probably finish an entire playthrough in one weekend, so that's nice.
The Oculus Rift is already pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on the computer. Games genres we never knew existed are coming to the fore. Classroom Aquatic is the first example I know of a cheat ‘em up.
The set up is that your teacher is throwing a pop quiz and you’re not prepared. You’ll have to cheat your way through it. If you’ve got an Oculus Rift then you can look around the room and lean over to copy other students’ answers. Also, you’re class is underwater and your classmates are dolphins.
You may have heard of Spy Party. The two-player game where one person’s a spy trying to fit in at a gathering while acting out their secret mission of planting bugs and stealing documents. The other player has the job of working out who the spy is. Then they shoot them with their sniper rifle.
What you might not have heard is that after the sniper has shot their target the scene takes a nightmarish turn with party guests rising into the air, their heads rotating on an unnatural point, eyelids pulling out from their faces, and joints popping like someone run through a mangle.
During a recent roundtable interview, Konami’s producer Dave Cox claimed that the PC version of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 looks way better than its console counterparts. In fact, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 PC is so good that Dave Cox described that particular version as a next-gen game. Continue reading
Warhorse Studios has released a new screenshot for its next-gen realistic medieval open-world RPG, Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Kingdom Come: Deliverance is described as an open world, action-adventure, role-playing game featuring blockbuster production values, a nonlinear story and revolutionary, first-person melee combat. The game is planned for a 2015 release. Enjoy! Continue reading

Aha, that explains it.
Also, Konami publishing it again? That would mean they are pretty satisfied with Mercury Steam's work. Good for them!

Like Lord of the Rings Online before it, Dungeons and Dragons Online will soon have its own Player Council. If you are a DDO player, you can apply for membership through here. Basically, the Player’s Council works with the game developers to provide targeted feedback and valuable suggestions. You have until January 20 to sign up, and the Council is slated to go into effect around January 27. Thanks, Massively.
Good news for those who loathe Windows 8: Microsoft is rumored to be making an announcement regarding Windows 9 during BUILD 2014 in April.
Oculus VR showcased the latest version of its Rift headset, dubbed Crystal Cove, at CES 2014 in Las Vegas last week.
Xi3 Piston, the first device revealed when Valve admitted it was getting into hardware, is not a Steam Machine – because “if you can play it on a computer you should be able to play it on a Piston”.
Last week, League of Legends fans were stunned by the news that last year’s top regular season European finishers, Lemondogs, had been disqualified from the LCS. That move set off a three-way battle between the teams who lost their promotion / relegation matches during the Battle of the Atlantic a few weeks ago.
This was a huge stroke of luck (sort of, and we’ll get to that in a second) for Ninjas in Pyjamas, who were upset by Polish newcomers KMT in a 3-0 sweep. Now they had another chance to get into the LCS. But they forgot about that crucial first step in winning a high-stakes eSports battle: actually showing up.
For people who like to awesome games done quick and other things done quick too the Awesome Games Done Quick speedrun event was likely a must-watch stream of the last seven days. The group of speedrunners have been streaming themselves complete a slew of hard as nails games as quickly as they can all to raise money for the Prevent Cancer Foundation.
They’ve done a great job of it, too. This year the team have raised more than $1 million.
Ever since Theme Hospital, heads have caused problems in management sims. In Bullfrogs medical simulator it was a bad case of bloaty head that would get your denizens down. In Maia, a much more modern management game, one that sees you colonising distant planets, the colonists’ noggins were causing a more oblique problem: they were buggering up pathfinding.
The colonists were colliding with their own heads when they tried to walk.
This and other problems have been patched out in the game’s next build which is due out later this week
Ko "HyuN" Seok Hyun is a tremendous professional StarCraft 2 player who enjoyed an incredibly successful 2013, during which he won DreamHack Valencia, finished second at MLG’s spring championship, and racked up a slew of semifinals appearances in other major tournaments. He should be be at the top of the world right now, except that he may never see a dime of the $23,000 he earned in prize money and salary. Now, with his Quantic team unraveling and his CEO gone missing, one of the best Zerg players in StarCraft may be depending on the kindness of strangers to continue his career.
What’s surprising about this story is that it’s happening to a major player in StarCraft 2. But when it comes to the basic storyline — an absent manager, vanished prize money, financial defeat from the jaws of progaming victory — Hyun’s story is a depressingly familiar one in the world of eSports.
When the world ends and the dead rise from their graves, it's not the meek who will inherit the Earth, but rather the clinically insane. Most confrontations in DayZ might involve people killing each other, but every so often, something magical happens. Sometimes literal magic is involved, with cults summoning ancient, dark powers, but other times a man will be made to sing Coldplay or someone will attempt to fly.
With the help of lovely Nick, I've collected some of the strangest, funniest - and at least one downright terrifying - videos to have come out of the bleak post-apocalyptic survival shooter. But beware, because when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you. And it might make you wiggle.
I’d forgotten about Blackspace. You probably had to. There’s so little space in our brain RAM that we can’t hold onto data about every game project that crosses our path, not least the ones that fail their Kickstarters and go silent for more than a year. Even if they are space-based RTS games with voxel environments and artwork prettier than the current apple of your eye.
So when I got an email saying there’d been a project update I was surprised. Then I started getting excited.
A lot has changed since Blackspace failed its Kickstarter in 2012.
What phrase is sex to your ears? Custard cream? Rochester’s mansion? Scintillating jewelled crabs? No, don’t be silly, it’s ‘email verification’.
“As part of ongoing work to keep all Summoners’ accounts safe, we’re rolling out email verification for any and all account credential changes,” Riot wrote in a recent update. “Once activated by players, this system will message your verified email whenever a change is made to your account, ensuring that you know if any suspicious activity is happening.”
Zol.com.cn (chinese website) has leaked some slides from AMD’s upcoming Catalyst 14.1 Beta driver. According to the slides, this new driver is expected to hit the Internet in Q1 2014 and will come with Mantle support, as well as numerous frame pacing enhancements. Continue reading
Turtle Rock Studios has released the first screenshots for its upcoming sci-fi MP title that pits a four-player crew of alien hunters against a separate player-controlled monster. These first screenshots showcase the monster that players will be able to control. Evolve is powered by CRYENGINE and is planned for a 2014 release on next-gen consoles and PC. Enjoy the screenshots, courtesy of GameInformer! Continue reading
Two new screenshots for City Interactive’s upcoming fantasy action/role-playing game, Lords of the Fallen, have been unveiled. Lords of the Fallen is said to be a demanding and strategic third-person action-RPG experience that is being created for next generation consoles and PC. The game is scheduled for release later this year. Enjoy! Continue reading

Bring on Mantle, it's been to long.
Also is the Ninjas in Pyjamas team constituted of gay males? :P
