After the closed beta wrapped up last week, Space Hulk: Deathwing developer Streum On got some significant feedback from all those players about the state of the game. In order to address some of the bigger concerns, like slow loading times, better interfaces/menus, and various other bug fixes, they need a little more time. Specifically, one week.
Earlier this year, those wacky goats in Goat Simulator decided to take up heisting with the PAYDAY DLC. At the time, this was a PC exclusive DLC pack that added a camel, a flamingo, a dolphin, and four new goats to the roster of playable animals in the game, as well as some vaguely PAYDAY 2 themed things. That DLC is now availab...
The exact future for Battleborn may be up-in-the-air, but with the next update, Gearbox and 2K are hoping to attract a few more players to the title. The big ticket item with this update is that all 25 characters in the original roster, i.e., none of the new ones that have been added over the past six months, will be unlocked for free simply by completing the Prologue.
Ghost Recon Wildlands is still three months away from release, which means that we're likely to see some kind of beta for the game sometime soon. Oh, hey look! A beta registration page!
While Sony had a fair number of surprises for its fans at the PlayStation Experience this past weekend, including the reveal of The Last of Us: Part 2 and Windjammers making its way digitally to PSN, the one game that was perhaps the biggest surprise was Knack 2. While the original has its appeal and drawbacks, it sounds like Japan Studio has heard much of the criticism leveled at the game and put that to work to make the sequel better.
Lamina Studios' action-adventure/twin-stick shooter/rogue-like dungeon crawler, Dungeon Souls, is out of Early Access and is now in its full release build on Steam. Players must do their best to survive the challenges of each procedurally generated floor of the dungeon in order to find the exit to the next floor and get closer to escape.
Since it's debut last July, Rocket League has risen to be one of the most popular multiplayer games out there. We're just happy that you can play against some co-op bots with buddies. A new sci-fi themed arena, "Starbase ARC," gets added to the title, but perhaps best of all, PC players will be able to share their own custom maps with folks via Steam Workshop.
The December update for Gears of War 4 brings a little co-op goodness for PC players. If you'd rather split your screen vertically or horizontally, you now can. This splitscreen option is for the campaign only, however, so playing Horde mode locally is still a horizontal split.
Happy Wars continues its journey through the various Microsoft storefronts this month with its release on Windows 10. Some titles would be happy with one, or even two, platforms to call home, but not ol' Happy Wars.
The Co-Opticrew has begun to emerge from their various comfort food-induced comas, which means that the preparation for a harsh winter must begin. We've already stocked up on almost all the necessities (food, water, firewood, virginal blood to conduct our nightly Yuletide rituals, bedding, etc), so that leaves just one final item: video games.
It's been rather incredible to see how much love Overcooked - a local co-op only title - has been getting these past few months. Entirely deserved, too, from my perspective. To celebrate the holidays, those fine gentlemen at Ghost Town Games are releasing an appropriately themed DLC pack for free.
After months of speculation, Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition has been officially announced. This remastered unique FPS/action game from 2011 will be storming onto PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One this spring with a few new updates and additional content.
