Iron Brigade Gets A Patch Nearly Four Years After Release

Enoch Starnes

Now, I'm a man of humble upbringing. I'm not normally one to go all hootin' and hollerin' about some judicial rulings, but between this and the news about the FIFA officials getting arrested on corruption charges, I'm more than willing to make an exception (for the time being). What this boils down to is that the game itself is receiving a long overdue patch to deal with a number of bug fixes and an overhaul of its matchmaking system. Those feeling especially nostalgic can now dive back into the game's four player online co-op using the Steam matchmaking system, which replaces the defunct Games For Windows Live.

Double Fine's Brazen Prototype Offers Promising Co-Op Action

Andrew Gaskill

Over the weekend we reported on Double Fine's Amnesia Fortnight Humble Bundle. The developer invited the public to take part in their two week prototyping process, allowing anyone to vote on games pitched by their talented team. Contributors will be able to download the top five games, as well as two prototype games from previous Amnesia Fortnights. The reward for contributing more than the average dollar amount (about $7.30) is a prototype game called Brazen. This cooperative action title is the brain child of Brad Muir, who was the lead on Iron Brigade.

Iron Brigade (formerly known as Trenched) won many Xbox 360 gamers' hearts with its retro sci-fi setting, unique combination of third-person shooting and tower defense, trademark Double Fine charm, and of course: 4-player online co-op. Last week, Double Fine surprised us all by announcing the impending arrival of a PC version. Now Iron Brigade is on Steam at last, complete with Games for Windows Live support for the Achievement lovers out there. Good news: the game is just as great on computer as it was on consoles.

Iron Brigade Launch Error Has a Simple Fix

Andrew Gaskill

Today I decided to check out the new Iron Brigade update. You know, the one that changes the game's name from Trenched to Iron Brigade. After re-downloading the title I was greeted with an error - one of those nice semi-paradoxical errors that technology loves to whip out on us simple folk:

What's cooler than a mobile trench? That's right, a space mobile trench. Double Fine's awesome third person mech shooter/tower defense game, Iron Bridgade, (originally Trenched) is heading to the cosmos in an upcoming batch of DLC. The new content has yet to be priced or dated, but we do have a name and some swanky new pics. Can we get a little drum role? No? Fine. Be that way.

Trenched Becoming Iron Brigade in the US, Plus DLC Coming

Paul Acevedo

It seems like less than a month ago we were reporting about Trenched getting renamed to Iron Brigade outside of the US. Hey, it was less than a month ago! And now we disocover that the Iron Brigade name is actually quite infectious. The US version of Trenched will lose its original name in favor of the international version in order to maintain multiplayer compatibility across all versions as well as to reduce brand confusion going forward.

Trenched Will Be Coming to Europe - Eventually

Andrew Gaskill

DoubleFine's excellent mech/tower defense game, Trenched, will be coming to Europe. We just don't know when. Apparently, there's a trademark dispute with a Portuguese board game maker named Rui Alipio Monteiro. He trademarked his "Trench" board game back in 2007. The gentleman has also trademarked the title for video game versions of his concept. Monteiro has issued a statement which doesn't back down from his trademark claims. You can see the full statement over at Eurogamer. Double Fine is taking this all in stride, with Trenched Project Lead Brad Muir offering up this nugget of wisdom:

On day two of E3 I got the chance to sit down with Double Fine's Brad Muir. Muir, for those of you who don't know, is the project lead for Trenched, a rapidly approaching XBLA title. I'm happy to say that Trenched looks, plays and feels like a Double Fine game. It's quirky, the art style and animations are captivating, and the whole experience feels well polished.
