UPDATE: It's a smartphone and tablet game. Oh dear.
My fragile mind can't take more of this teasing, Eidos-Montr#233;al. Game of Thrones broke my heart last night, and now you dangle the possibility of a sequel to Human Revolution in front of me and expect me to wait 24 hours for confirmation. That's just not cricket.
Forget 'The Penetrator,' IV is all about wubbing one out.
Deep Silver has announced a super special Saint's Row IV Collector's Edition for lucky folks in the US. Get ready for death by dubstep.
Crossover is "pushed forward by both the television and game industries".
Microsoft isn't shouting into space with its interactive TV strategy, says Soho Productions designer Rob Stevens - there's a lot of interest from old-style TV providers too, and the result is that boundaries are softening 'twixt the traditional games industry and the broader entertainment sphere.
1600 MP for all the corpses you can bludgeon.
Open world zombie survive 'em up State of Decay is now available to download from Xbox Live Marketplace. The game costs 1600 MP and weighs in at 1.81 GB. Queue it up here.
"A new generation of games" cometh.
Microsoft has released a trailer hinting at plans for its E3 conference on Monday. Looks like they're going to make good on their promise that this year's show will be all about games, games and more games, with zero TV talk.
GameStop "powers up" your Battlefield 3 multiplayer.
How do you tell people who've pre-ordered Battlefield 4 from people who haven't pre-ordered Battlefield 4? Simples. The former lot are the ones in tooled-up military aircraft, swanning around the theatre of operations like they own the place. Which they do. Along with your ass.
Still "lots more work to do" on the new Minecraft update.
Sad news, Iron Golem fans and wannabe jungle explorers. The next Minecraft Xbox 360 update won't release this month, as there's still "lots more work to do". Rome wasn't built in a day, and this is a game where you can build Rome out of coloured glass, so please extrapolate as to the man-hours accordingly.
Bonnie joins Vince as the evidence continues to mount.
It's a good day to be a member of the living dead. Telltale Games has released a second Vine video that points to an impending Walking Dead Season Two announcement, via Twitter.
State of Decay, Zeno Clash 2. Tomb Raider, Injustice and Crysis 3 DLC.
Tomorrow's the big day, everybody - the day Microsoft finally releases the long-awaited State of Decay on Xbox Live Marketplace. We've described it as the most ambitious zombie survival sim around and XBLA's deepest, darkest game, so it's bound to get a good review, right? Right?
Lionhead to add new lighting systems, animations and cutscenes.
Lionhead has released the very first Fable: Anniversary screenshots, including a side-by-side snap of Anniversary and the original game. Man, the recent past sure was fuzzy, wasn't it?
First artworks of 2014-bound Kinect adventure arrive.
This probably isn't the next gen Kinect game you're waiting for, but it looks charming nonetheless. Avalanche Studios and Disney have unveiled Fantasia: Music Evolved for Xbox 360 and Xbox One, a "breakthrough" motion-controlled music game that's inspired by classic (and classical) Disney flick Fantasia.
Hide the chickens!.
Lionhead has all but announced an HD remake of the original Fable, by way of a teaser video that's one part social media to one part Jack of Blades to one part implied chicken violence. There's an Xbox 360 logo at the end of the footage. Could this be that "huge" Xbox 360 announcement Phil Spencer teased last month?
Out July 2013, no price yet, includes micro-transactions.
Microsoft has announced Halo: Spartan Assault, a handheld Halo spin-off for Windows 8 devices that's down for release in July this year. I've gone and written a hands-on preview about it. The digested version is below.
Konami isn't interested in showing you "some marketing dream".
Those Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 screenshots we published a moment ago? They've very firmly been taken from the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game, in what sounds like a cheeky pop at next generation hype.
Unnecessarily in-depth press release recounts six key design tenets.
Konami has released a bunch of new Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 screenshots and details of new features that, it promises, will "establish PES 2014 as a new benchmark in football simulations". Let's have a look at the goods, shall we?
3D-optimised chips aren't perfect for 2D projects, says 17-BIT.
The Xbox One needs to be good for more than ultra-high fidelity 3D play, opines Skulls of the Shogun designer and lead engineer Borut Pfeifer - it should also make life easier for the creators of 2D titles, as it's easier to "innovate" once you strip out that resource-intensive third dimension.
Who is Vince and how does he feel about the undead?.
I saw it though the Tweet Vine. Six second video clips seem to be the hint method du jour, with Eidos Montreal teasing us about Deus Ex: The Fall and now Telltale Games releasing a maddeningly enigmatic clip of what could be The Walking Dead: Season Two.
It's not a Dance Central sequel either.
Game announcements are thick on the ground this week - hope the industry's holding something back for E3, eh? The latest developer to break cover (or at least, announce that it will shortly be breaking cover) is Harmonix, developer of Rock Band and Dance Central and a mystery project that could be a single player combat game for next generation hardware.
Deus Ex: Icarus Effect crossover likely?.
My fragile mind can't take more of this teasing, Eidos-Montr#233;al. Game of Thrones broke my heart last night, and now you dangle the possibility of a sequel to Human Revolution in front of me and expect me to wait 24 hours for confirmation. That's just not cricket.
