Harmonix Music Systems has finally pulled back the curtain on a brand-new Rock Band game. That's right, music lovers! Rock Band 4 is in the works and will be coming to both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 later this year.
Not only is the hit indie side-scroller Shovel Knight coming to Microsoft's console, it's going to feature Rare's iconic amphibians.
That's right, Battletoads fans! Yacht Club Games' retro-inspired 2D action-platformer will have exclusive content for Xbox One owners. Much like how the PlayStation 4 version of Shovel Knight will feature God of War protagonist Kratos, the game on Xbox One will include a Battletoads cameo.
Square Enix has let loose a new trailer of Theatrhythm Dragon Quest. Check it:
On March 11, the Japanese eShop will get a demo of this game, which will include two songs, one from Dragon Quest III and another from Dragon Quest V. The game proper will ship to Japanese stores on March 26, but has not been confirmed for outside territories.
The date: March 4, 2000. Having finally cleaned out the last of your crazy uncle's Y2K fallout shelter, you can finally throw on your trucker hat and puka shells, send a text to your friend using that hella cool new T-9 function, and put that status up on MySpace - you were going out to pick up the new generation of PlayStation, the PS2. No more fifth-generation games for you - pshaw! As if! That was so last year. You were going to get it (and the $80 worth of accessories and memory cards) and this was now the new best day of your life. You just had to wait for your mom to come home, then you could bizzay-bounce.
The anticipation for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is through the roof now that the game has a release date, but some fans may be disappointed to hear that Snake won't talk as much as expected.
Panels get plenty of attention at PAX East, but the event also allows the public to play and/or see highly anticipated releases. PAX East 2015 is no exception, as there are plenty of big-name titles scheduled for the event.
Ronimo Games is back with the newest game in the Swords & Soldiers series which originally launched in 2009 on WiiWare and later released on PSN, PC, Mac, and iOS. Swords & Soldiers II is a real-time 2D side-scroller strategy game with great artwork and a huge fun factor. Although it shares an art style and general gameplay mechanics with its predecessor, there have been numerous game mechanic tweaks implemented that vastly improve the battle experience as well as two completely brand new factions to play as.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will be the last entry in the Metal Gear Solid series, franchise creator Hideo Kojima has revealed.
In an interview with IGN, the legendary game designer explained, "I always say 'this will be my last Metal Gear, but the games in the series that I've personally designed and produced -- Metal Gear on MSX, MG2, MGS1, 2, 3, 4, Peace Walker, and now MGSV -- are what constitute a single 'Metal Gear Saga.' With MGSV, I'm finally closing the loop on that saga."

Game Developers Conference 2015 is in full swing, bringing with it loads of interesting games, developer panels, and exciting announcements. GameRevolution is on site in San Francisco to cover the event, and we've got loads of coverage for you to check out.
From , the d20-based RPG has been a mainstay in gaming whose flame will hopefully never extinguish. Sword Coast Legends, the upcoming RPG from n-Space and Digital Extremes with a partnership with Wizards of the Coast, plans to continue the tradition of the genre and modernize it by adding a Dungeon Master mode, a mode where one player can guide and challenge a team of players in real-time. It reminds me of a time when I would take out my aggression on poor fools by spawning ogres and cutting their character's feet off for rolling critical failures. Such fun!
During its GDC 2015 conference, Nvidia announced a new gaming console it will be adding to its lineup of Shield devices.
"First, itÄ‚Ë€â„Ës based on the most popular OS in the world," Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said, via IGN. "Second, the richness of the Google Play store, with it huge range of applications. Third, it syncs with all my other devices. Finally, it has an incredible voice search capability."
During GDC 2015, Valve announced a new piece of hardware. Dubbed Steam Link, this nifty little set-top box will allow gamers to stream content from their PC, Mac, Steam Machine, etc., so long as it's on the same home network.
Bethesda Softworks has just announced Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, a standalone prequel that precedes the events of MachineGames' hit title Wolfenstein: The New Order.
The game takes place in 1946 as the Nazis near victory in World War II. Gamers will once again play as B.J. Blazkowicz, this time on a "two-part mission deep within Bavaria." The first part pits our hero against a "maniacal prison warden as he breaks into Castle Wolfenstein," while part two takes players to the city of Wulfburg to thwart the efforts of an "obsessed Nazi archeologist."
During GDC 2015 Valve revealed its new development engine, Source 2, which will be available to developers for free.
Like the name implies, Source 2 is the follow-up to Valve's original Source engine, which has been used to power games like Counter-Strike and Half-Life 2. "The value of a platform like the PC is how much it increases the productivity of those who use the platform," Valve's Jay Stelly explained via IGN.
At the Narrative Summit during this year's Game Developer's Conference, there was some buzz on the first day of the show about cinematic storytelling. Monolith's Ethan Walker, the lead for cinematics on Shadow of Mordor, spoke about the challenges showing wraith Celebrimbor and undead Ranger Talion's unique relationship outside of gameplay. Additionally, in the Art Direction track, Robh Ruppel of Naughty Dog gave examples from films for compositional choices for great concept art, highlighting Blade Runner's influence. However, it was Fiction Control's Matthew Weise's talk about cinematic games that was most telling.
Project Morpheus, Sony's virtual reality headset built specifically for PlayStation 4, will release in the first half of 2016, the company revealed today at Game Developers Conference 2015.
Sony Computer Entertainment has just announced that, as of March 1, worldwide sales of PlayStation 4 have officially surpassed 20.2 million.
"We are so grateful for the enormous support from PlayStation fans worldwide, and we are truly humbled that gamers around the globe have continued to select PS4 as the best place to play," SCE president and CEO Andrew House said. "We remain steadfast in our commitment to deliver unique and interactive entertainment experiences powered by the network and the PS4 system's deep social capabilities."
PAX East begins this Friday in Boston, and as always, the event includes a large number of panels and events. Listed below are some of the more noteworthy ones worth keeping an eye on, while the full schedule can be found on the official PAX East website.
While one might assume the best talks at GDC would be those by AAA developers getting into the nitty-gritty of designing their choice aspect of a game, the best talks I attend are usually ones I stumble into to fill gaps in my schedule. This was certainly true of Anne DeMarle's talk, "Breakaway: A Narrative Game's Success at Addressing Gender-Based Violence." DeMarle and her team of student developers at Champlain created a game called Breakaway with funding from the United Nations Population Fund to target the global issue of boys bullying girls, with the goal of reducing gender-based violence.
