Shin Megami Tensei, the game that launched a thousand spin-offs, has finally made the jump to English. Most probably know the series for the Persona games, but the original launched on Super Famicom in 1992. This new version is a direct, barebones interpretation of that original game but features, for the first time ever, an official translation by Atlus. This is a perfectly preserved, untouched classic; one that the average Westerner can now experience for the first time. For better or worse, buyers will experience Shin Megami Tensei exactly as it was over 20 years ago. |
"Pay-to-win": it's hardly a death knell for most mobile games, as it's quite easy to find people with more money than time and a poor sense of where to spend either one. Deadlings certainly isn't the most egregious such game, but it hardly gets a pass. Death (as in the Grim Reaper) is unsurprisingly lonely. After seeing potential friendship in the equally unwanted zombies of the world, he tries to win their companionship by running them through a gantlet of deadly traps, platforms and obstacles at his new business, Deadlings, Inc. The elevator pitch is something like Jetpack Joyride meets Lemmings. You play as Death, guiding different classes of endlessly running zombies through test chambers, collecting brains and making for the exit. |
There's something to be said for the classics. Actually, there's a lot to be said for them, or they wouldn't get to be classics in the first place. Brave Frontier definitely has its sights set on giving mobile gamers nostalgic feelings of the JRPGs of bygone days, with some collectible card game bits sprinkled in for good measure. That's a sound strategy, and the result is fun enough to be worth the free download. Every good RPG needs a land to save, and in the case of Brave Frontier, it's called Grand Gaia. This magical locale is home to hidden power for those who can vanquish its strange creatures, but it's been sealed off by some fallen gods. That's where you come in. As a Summoner with immense promise, you've been granted access to Grand Gaia via Lucius' Gate. With a guide named Tilith to introduce you to core concepts like summoning units, fusing them together to make them more powerful, and leading them into combat, it doesn't take long to get started on setting things right. |
It's a sad day to be part of a promising startup. Wormhole Games, who released their first (and it looks like, only) game last year with Tank Nation, and earned a spot as one of Gamezebo's , is "winding down" according to a Facebook post from studio CEO and co- founder Jamil Moledina. "We founded Wormhole Games as our contribution to innovation in free to play mobile games," reads Moledina's status update. "I'm immensely proud that our team achieved this goal with the launch of Tank Nation. Unfortunately, given financial challenges, we've been winding down the company. We've placed most of our staff at great new jobs, and the few that remain are in process." |
There's a pretty fantastic-looking Godzilla reboot on the horizon. If you haven't watched the trailer yet, you should go and . The game's official announcement promises "RPG-style progression" as well, which usually pairs nicely with match-3 gameplay. And did we mention it's being developed by Pipeworks Software, the folks responsible for Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee and its two sequels? Ok, maybe this could be good after all. |
Google has always had the tools to make mobile gaming on Android devices into a force to take on iOS toe-to-toe, it's just been a question of having the will and awareness to put them together in a way that makes sense for developers. With the now-underway Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco as a backdrop, that time may have arrived. On the same day it's sponsoring a Developer Day at GDC, Google is introducing a was sorely needed. |
When it comes to classic simulation franchises, few conjure up quite as many great memories as Roller Coaster Tycoon. So when you hear the words Roller Coaster Tycoon 4 Mobile, there's a very good chance that you have a "front car of the coaster with your arms up" level of excitement. That excitement might be justified. It might not. We just don't know. Details about the game are scant right now, though a trailer for the game showcases gameplay that... well, to be frank, looks a lot like Zynga's , a word of warning seems emphatically in order. |
Well that didn't take long. Earlier this month, , Asphalt 8 will add in Twitch-functionality in a free update "soon." Not only will players be able to stream gameplay, but video and audio courtesy of your iOS device's front-facing camera. Streaming will be optimized for A7 chip devices (iPhone 5S, iPad Air, iPad Mini). There no word on whether older devices will be supported. |
We ran a survey recently asking our game developer friends what more they want to see on Gamezebo. One of the key pieces of feedback we received is that you want to see dustry news. Who k(new)? As long as you read and share this news round-up (hint, hint, you wild and crazy people with tons of followers on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), and there's enough interesting news to round up, we'll sum the news up for you every Friday. This week: PopCap and Disney layoffs, Large Animal Games is closing, King is still going public, and lot of new studios and businesses forming. |
Whitaker Trebella is a cool guy. And like a lot of cool guys - especially in this industry - he makes some pretty cool games. The most recent of these, Pivvot, has just seen its first big update that introduces a new mode. Better yet, it also introduces two very special words: Daily Challenges. If you're wondering where Trebella got the idea for the latter, he with an upvote on Steam Greenlight). |
Bridge Constructor by HeadUp Games is a bridge-building mobile game that lets you exercise your physics prowess. It also offers a strong, important reminder: Not everyone is cut out for building bridges. It's OK for a bridge to fall apart on your screen, but in real life, smiling sheepishly and shrugging while cars plummet into ravines simply isn't acceptable. So, if you don't know anything about engineering, is it still worth giving Bridge Constructor a go? Sure it is. The game challenges you to build serviceable bridges. There's no need for them to pass any hoity-toity government inspections. If the whole shebang collapses but the cars driving across manage to outrun the destruction, the point's still yours. No jail time! |
Earlier today, Gamefront had an anonymous source claiming PopCap Games, maker of the Plants vs. Zombies titles, had suffered . Parent company Electronic Arts wouldn't comment on the source's number of 30 jobs lost, but did provide the site with a statement from PopCap GM and co-founder John Vechey confirming that some people had been let go: "The changes we made today at PopCap were painful and we're sorry to lose some of our friends and colleagues. But it was also necessary in order to stay on course with our future plans for mobile games, live services, and new IP. PopCap is a studio that made its name building great games that the world can fall in love with, and that's what we'll continue to do." |
