Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West

Fatshark has announced a Wild West shooter for distribution on PC and next-gen consoles, although we're not told which.

Dubbed Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West, this is a third-person shooter that revolvers around multiplayer action. Teams are the order of the day, but you can practice with computer partners before heading online.

Once there, Fatshark promises we'll be reliving high-noon gunfights outside heisted banks.

We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

 

Looks cool. More Westerns, please!



Red Alert 3: Commander's Challenge coming to XBLA

With a recent leaked list of achievements it has been revealed that Command & Conquer is coming to the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network with Red Alert 3: Commander's Challenge.

Based on the achievements this is a port of the previously Windows only expansion Red Alert 3: Uprising. It too was only released digitally through EA's store and Direct2Drive. The game consists of 4 mini-campaigns of 3 to 4 levels each and a 50 level Commander's Challenge mode. The game also features plenty of HD video of the Commanders, so it will also likely be a very large file size when released.

The expansion however has no online play - it is entirely single player, and it looks like it will stay that way for the Xbox Live Arcade version. The game has been rated on the ESRB with mention of a PlayStation 3 version, so it is also coming to the PlayStation Network.

Behemoth Game #3 Details

The developer has posted its first in a series of videos on YouTube showcasing the various features and mechanics of the game, and this initial installment focuses on a mode called the "Soul Game" (working title). Behemoth's video reveals a few new details on this mysterious project, so far known only as Behemoth Game #3.

This is a four-player collection of various platforming challenges that could be described as mini-games. Previous Behemoth efforts included a lot of unlockables and customization and the developer wants to continue that in Game #3. Before starting a match players can customize their avatar's head. The game lobby is its own platforming area with the different game types waiting behind many doors. In the video Behemoth chose a door labeled "Constructory" and initiated the Soul Game, in which players each have one soul and must try to steal the souls of the other team.

As players run and jump around the environment, exploding blocks appear and disappear in certain locations. Touch one and the burst will slow you down. We know of two weapons that will be available: grenades and frisbees. The music heard in the demo is very reminiscent of other Behemoth games.

At the end of a game, your score is represented by the length of your characters' legs – the tallest is the winner. Behemoth promises a good story will go along with all this mini-game action.
