Case in point:Rune Factory. The action-RPG spin-off of theStory of Seasonsfranchise hit big out of the gate, spawning three handheld sequels, one fantastic Wii game, and the so-soTides of Destiny....

Because a certain publisher didn’t want to pay to update it The reception forSave me Mr. Takoupon its release in 2018 didn’t really play out the way developer Christophe Galati thought it would. A passion project for fans of the Game Boy and Super Game Boy, its initial response wasn’t encouraging, with perfectly valid complaints about its difficulty, camera, and movement. Normally, a game would receive a patch or two to address these complaints....

There’s at least one major omission [Update: Heck yeah,Breath of the Wildis listed for SGDQ 2017 as abonus game.] Speedrun marathon Summer Games Done Quick hasshared its game schedulefor this year’s event. That’s not something I’d normally be super into seeing this far in advance — we’re still months out! — but considering some of the high-profile games to launch recently, I was curious this time. There’s a lot ofZeldathis year, as you’d expect, butBreath of the Wildisn’t on this list....

Hare’s a 15-minute gameplay video I have only watched this 15-minute video of the beginning ofShadow Warrior 2, and I am already emotionally invested. That’s because some dickhead picked up a bunny mid-hump and chucked him at a car. Now that bunny is dead and I am sad. I’m a sucker for the cute and cuddly type. The only acceptable revenge will be for protagonist Lo Wang to kill everything that’s not cute and cuddly....

Speaking with “sources familiar with the situation”, TheGamer reports that Sony intends to close the PS3 and PSP versions of PlayStation Store in early-July, before shuttering PS Vita’s online store in late-August. The move would prevent the future purchase of hundreds of games and DLC on these platforms, an action that can currently be completed directly through the PSN web edition of each store....

Over 40 games We think we know what to expect from Steam at this point — big summer sale, big holiday sale. Dropping a random four day sale in February is a bit of an enigma, a mystery if you will. That’s perfectly suitable given that the theme for this discountapalooza is “mystery games.” There are over 40 titles with their prices slashed, just waiting for someone to try to unravel the secrets within....

Hustle Kings is also supporting PlayStation VR Hearing that Housemarque’s twin-stick shooterSuper Stardust Ultrawould be getting PlayStation VR support, I figured, “Oh, cool, you’ll get to look at the spherical levels like they’re right there floating in front of you. Sort of like how board games translate to VR.” That’s only half true. While youwillbe able to play the full game “enhanced for PlayStation VR,” there’s also an all-new mode, Invasion Zone, with a first-person cockpit view where your targeting is synced to your head movement....

This version of the game comes with a Steam gift key, a DRM-free copy of the game, the awesome soundtrack, a grim poster and a 40 page “Devzine....

Seriously We’re only a few short days beyond the official unveiling of Microsoft’s next-generation videogame console,the Xbox One, and things haven’t gone all that well. Microsoft is catching a ton of flak from every direction for an event that the masses have somewhat unanimously declared “underwhelming.” Digital lines are being drawn in the virtual sand over this press conference, and the most vocal bunch is loudly siding with Team Sony....

While Nintendo figures out how and when they’re going to address high-definition with one of their consoles, a third-party solution has arrived for those who’d like to shiny up their Wii. VDIGI Electronics has a product on their website which claims to be able to upscale the video output of the Wii to 1080p.
