By Anonymous on May 02, 2017 11:00 pm Nioh has a new story chapter from its Dragon of the North DLC so join Miguel and Erick as they check out how many times they die.
The incomprehensibly named content pack--titled "3C3C1D119440927"--includes several cosmetic items and new music, but its most significant addition is the new colosseum challenges. Players can take on Square's boss Yosuke Matsuda and Platinum's CEO Kenichi Sato.
Costumes from Nier: Replicant, a Japan-only, slightly-tweaked version of the original Nier for PS3;
Accessories, including hairspray for the main character, 2B;
Masks with unique effects;
Bullets that can change the look of enemy bullets.
The DLC is out now on Steam and the PlayStation Store, and it costs $14. The main game launched back in March for PS4 and PC to critical and commercial acclaim. Soon after its release, Square Enix announced that it had shipped 1 million units of the game. In his review, GameSpot critic Miguel Concepcion gave the game a 9/10, saying, "It's a meaty, often exhilarating trek that showcases Platinum Games' and Yoko Taro's unique blend of genius."
After six years, Nintendo may finally be walking away from a patent dispute over its Mii characters. In 2011, US company RecogniCorp sued Nintendo for allegedly infringing on its patented technology for producing and storing police sketch-artist data. Now the US federal appeals court has ruled in Nintendo's favor, upholding a previous decision.
"We are very pleased with the court's decision," said Ajay Singh, Nintendo of America's Director of Litigation and Compliance.
"The decision marks another case in which Nintendo's unique ideas overcame unjustified threats of patent infringement."
In 2015, RecogniCorp lost its lawsuit against Nintendo. It claims the technology that stores Nintendo's Mii characters employs the same techniques described in its patent for making police sketches of suspects. A federal judge ruled against the claim and in Nintendo's favor, saying mathematical operations cannot be patented.
Yesterday, the company lost its appeal for the same reason once again.
"Nintendo has a long history of developing innovative products and we will continue to vigorously defend all our products from meritless patent lawsuits," said Singh.
Nintendo has a long history of patent lawsuits and appeals. Last year, an appeals court judge overturned a $30.2 million lawsuit involving a former Sony inventor, who claimed Nintendo infringed on his 3D display technology when making the 3DS. The appeals judge sided with Nintendo, despite the earlier ruling against the company.
In preparation for Star Wars's annual day-based-entirely-on-a-bad-joke May 4 celebration, PC retailer GOG is running a sale based around the legendary sci-fi property. Nearly 20 games are included in the promotion, which is currently offering up to 77% off. (The original Star Wars was, of course, released in 1977.)
Update: GOG.com originally told us that every game in the sale was 77% off. The retailer has now informed us that the games are up to 77% off, except on May 4 itself, when every game will be 75% off. The games listed in the story all happen to still be 77% off, however, so they remain at their prices stated here.
The latest round of deals are now live on the PlayStation Store in the US, and there some excellent offers to be had on PS4, PS3, and Vita.
This week features sales themed around Golden Week (an annual holiday in Japan) and Star Wars Day. The Golden Week promotion brings the bulk of the discounts, with well over 100 games on sale. Here are some of the highlights for PlayStation Plus members:
Although it's not included in the Golden Week sale, another solid discount on a Japanese game is Nier Automata (pictured above), which can be had for $42 (or $45 without Plus).
As for the Star Wars sale, you'll find a few dozen games discounted across all platforms. Most of these prices are the same whether or not you have PlayStation Plus. Highlights include:
If you already own either of the pair digitally, they should already be in your Ready to Download list waiting for you to access them. Alternatively, you can purchase the pair on Xbox.com or through the console itself. Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 costs US $10 / £6.75 / AU $10, while Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions will set you back US $15 / £12, though it doesn't seem to be available on the Australian Xbox Store.
Retro Evolved 2 launched back in 2008 and was awarded a 9/10 in our review--critic Tom McShea called it a "shockingly good sequel." Dimensions, meanwhile, earned an 8/10 in our Geometry Wars 3 review on its launch in 2014. That third title already came to Xbox One natively, but now the Xbox 360 version will be playable if you don't want to buy both editions.
The original Geometry Wars came to Xbox One backwards compatibility last year after originally launching on Xbox 360 as an Xbox Live Arcade game. With 2 and 3 also now available, the whole mainline series is now playable on Xbox One.
Update: Darksiders III has now been officially unveiled with a new trailer, which you can watch below (via IGN):
The game will arrive in 2018 and is in development at Gunfire Games, a studio that incorporates many ex-Vigil Games employees who worked on the original Darksiders and its sequel.
"After countless rumors, a major catalogue acquisition, and even a corporate re-brand, the team at THQ Nordic is thrilled to finally confirm plans for Darksiders III, said publisher THQ Nordic's group CEO, Lars Wingefors.
Now, thanks to a product page listed on Amazon, we have more details. The description states you'll play as a mage named Fury and that you'll need to "harness [her] magic to unleash her various forms--each granting her access to new weapons, moves, and traversal abilities."
The listing goes on to state that you'll be able to "explore an open-ended, living, free-form game world in which Fury moves back and forth between environments to uncover secrets while advancing the story." Your objective, meanwhile, is to "defeat the Seven Deadly Sins and their servants who range from mystical creatures to degenerated beings."
Take a look at the rest of Darksiders III's description below, via Amazon.
"Return to an apocalyptic Earth in Darksiders III, a hack-n-slash action-adventure where players assume the role of Fury in her quest to hunt down and dispose of the Seven Deadly Sins. The most unpredictable and enigmatic of the Four Horsemen, Fury must succeed where many have failed--to bring balance to the forces that now ravage Earth. Darksiders III is the long-anticipated, third chapter in the critically-acclaimed Darksiders franchise."
The game's release date is down as December 31, 2018, though this could simply be a placeholder. The listing also revealed a price, $60, and some new images, which you can see in the gallery below.
Playtonic Games has outlined a few details on some of the tweaks players can expect from its first major update for Yooka-Laylee.
The studio will be implementing some commonly requested improvements to the title, including the ability to skip cutscenes, skip through dialogue more quickly, and reduce the game's "gibberish" voice acting. The developers will also be polishing other aspects of the title, such as refining the way its camera operates--one of the aspects of the game we took issue with in our review. Playtonic has released the following clip to demonstrate the improved camera.
Playtonic has yet to announce just when the Yooka-Laylee update will go live, though the studio has said it will be rolling out "in the coming weeks." There is likewise still no word on when the Switch version of the game will be launching.
Yooka-Laylee was released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on April 11. The game was also intended to launch on Wii U, though development on that version was eventually canceled and shifted over to Nintendo's new Switch. Yooka-Laylee garnered mixed reviews from many outlets on its release; while some praised the game for its charming characters and similarities to the collectathon platformers of the Nintendo 64 era, others found its style of gameplay to be outdated.
Marvel has released the first teaser image for The Inhumans, another television series based on the publisher's popular comic book characters. The picture, which you can see below, was posted on Twitter along with the tagline, "Beyond Humanity."
The image features a glowing symbol hovering above the planet Earth, while a bright light shines behind it. The symbol is commonly associated with Black Bolt, a longtime hero in the Marvel comic universe and leader of the Inhumans.
Although the Inhumans have existed in the comic universe for some time now, they have become more prominent in recent years. Their most recent story arc revolves around the Terrigen Mists, which have appeared on Earth and unlock Inhuman genes in people. This, in turn, has granted them superhuman abilities.
The first season of The Inhumans will be eight episodes and it premieres on ABC in September 2017. It is a co-production with IMAX, and the first two episodes will get a worldwide release in IMAX theaters on September 1.
The show is being overseen by Scott Buck, the showrunner for Netflix's Iron Fist.Hell on Wheels star Anson Mount has been cast as Black Bolt. The character has a hypersonic-voice and is capable of generating devastating waves of force by speaking. As a result, he's rarely shown to be speaking in the comics.
The Inhumans is one of several new Marvel shows in the works, alongisde Runaways andCloak & Dagger, which are both currently in production. A New Warriors TV show was also recently announced.
"These shows are not made for critics, they are first and foremost made for the fans," said Jones. "I also think some of the reviews we saw were seeing the show through a very specific lens, and I think when the fans of the Marvel Netflix world and fans of the comic books view the show through the lens of just wanting to enjoy a superhero show, then they will really enjoy what they see."
Comic book legend Todd McFarlane has been talking about a new movie based on his character Spawn for some time, and has now provided an update on the project. The creator of the demonic antihero posted a new video in which he explains that the script is done and he has now looking for producers. Watch it below:
In the video, McFarlane states that while he hasn't spoken to anyone within the film industry yet, a number of people have approached him about making the movie. He states that he hopes to make a further announcement at the San Diego Comic Con in July, and confirms that, if it happens, the new Spawn film would be "an R-rated horror movie."
Nevertheless, McFarlane is realistic about the fact that a completed script is only the first stage of getting a film produced. "It does not mean the movie is being made," he said. "It means that there is a script there that everybody can look at."
In February last year, McFarlane told Comicbook.com that part of his decision to stay away from the big-budget approach of many modern superhero movies was so he could make the film himself. "Basically, I can make this version of the movie on a budget without crazy special effects," he said. "I want to keep it small, keep it tight, so they'll let me direct it!"
The comic book Spawn appeared in 1992 and was one of the first titles published by McFarlane's Image Comics. It was massively popular, with the first issue selling 1.7 million copies. However, the 1997 film adaptation was not a big hit with either audiences or critics.
Playerunknown's Battlegrounds released in March, and almost immediately it hit the top of Steam's top-selling chart. Developer Bluehole announced today that the game has passed a significant milestone, selling over two million copies.
In response to the popularity of Battlegrounds and to celebrate the milestone, Bluehole announced that it would be holding a livestream event on its Twitch channel on Thursday, May 4, to raise money for the charity Gamer's Outreach. Bluehole will match up to $100,000 in donations made during the event.
CEO of Bluehole Gang-Seok Kim said in a statement, "One of the main reasons we were able to hit this sales milestone is that we have a dedicated community who has helped us refine Playerunknown's Battlegrounds. We felt this invitational was a great way to give back and are pleased to make this small contribution to the cause."
Battlegrounds is a competitive survival game, similar in concept to The Hunger Games or The Culling. Since its release, it has gained a wide following, and currently has the third most active players on Steam behind Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
