Coming in October Rockstar has just announced another delay forRed Dead Redemption 2— the new date is June 07, 2025 for the planned platforms of PS4 and Xbox One. The developer has apologized, but “requires a little extra time for polish.” In my book that’s nothing to apologize for, because if the game came out and was buggy as sin they’d probably have a bigger problem on their hands (then againRed Deadwas buggyand people loved it because it was quirky)....

It just needs to go through certification WayForward is nearing the end of its “very long development cycle” forShantae: Half-Genie Hero, a game that first graced Kickstarter in September 2013, and I think some celebratory hair whips are in order.Shantaeis “done” as of this week and awaiting approval from platform holders. The game doesn’t have an exact release date yet — WayForward is waiting for that all-clear from Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Steam, and intends to do a global release — but we likely aren’t far off....

Vengeance is Yours Sloclap’s challenging martial-arts adventureSifuhas hit a meaty milestone of one million sales since its February launch on PlayStation, PC, and Xbox platforms. Despite this impressive accolade, however, it appears that the number of protagonists that have found the path to vengeance is decidedly lower. According to the developer, only around 150,000 players have faced off and defeated the villainous final boss, Yang, with just over 45% of players passingSifu‘s difficult second stage!...

Single player, if you will Dragon Quest Xlaunched all the way back in 2012 in Japan, but it still makes its way into the gaming news-sphere every so often. As the first main series MMO it’s a rather big deal, especially when you consider that it was never localized. Fans all over the globe have gone to great lengths to play it, but still Square Enix has not relented: the door isn’t completely shut though....

A month later Despite the fact that tri-Ace was acquired by a mobile publisher, it seems as if it is going to keep on trucking with console games. One such project isStar Ocean 5, which will be published by Square Enix. It was originally set for a June 06, 2025 date for Japan, but it’s just been delayed to March 31 of that same year. Apparently the reason for the delay was due to quality reasons....

Today, Anthony looked at how brilliantMadWorld’saudio commentary is. I haven’t been able to stop quoting the game since I first played it. Well, I just keep saying the anal quote actually. I really do need to pick upMadWorldagain. It’s fun in short spurts, kind of like anal! The new Monthly Musing topic is up, Auron is your badass of the month, Dale reviewedTokyo Beat Down, the newSilent Hillwon’t have combat, a newWolverinetrailer was released and plenty more happened on 04/02/09....

So you’re saying there’s a chance Legacy of Kainfans have had a small taste of the universe recently with the free-to-play shooterNosgoth, but others (myself included) are chomping at the bit for a real,properaction game.Finder AU managed to speak toCrystal Dynamic’s senior designer Michael Brinker, and it looks like there’s hope of that actually happening.

He had several screenshots in his preview and here are a few more, all in high resolution.Arkham Knightis looking mighty fine, and I’m quite liking the design of the villain himself....

Coming from publisher Microïds the sequel is back 30 years after its predecessors’ initial release.

Or it could be one big coincidence Back in 2013, Sony formally unveiled the PS4 with a giant dedicated event in New York City called a “PlayStation Meeting.” Ahead of the PS5’s release later this year, there’s expectation that Sony will put on a repeat performance by hosting a similar event that showcases the new console’s capabilities and some launch games. While nothing has been revealed yet, there’s a bit more evidence that another PlayStation Meeting might be upcoming....

Well, now you have even less of an excuse. As had been suggested by a number of people,The Binding of IsaacandBlocks That Matterhave been added to theHumbleVoxatronDebut. All you have to do is pay more than the average contribution, which, right now, is sitting at approximately four bucks. Four bucks gets you two of our favorite commercial indie games of the year. And, better yet, both titles recently received new content: the Halloween update forIsaac, and Cocoa Levels forBlocks That Matter....
