Oh, and the HD collection gets a release date.
For those wondering when the HD collection of the cult hit series Zone of the Enders would be coming out, we now have a date. It’s October 25th of this year. But that’s one of the more insignificant pieces of news to come out of the Zone of the Enders HD ReBOOT Preview event.
And there was much rejoicing.
Just when we thought we couldn’t get any more deader, Atlus comes out with an announcement that will have Demon’s Souls fans rejoicing. The publisher, who had previously stated that the game’s servers would be going offline at the end of the month has pulled a 180 and declared that North American server support will instead “continue to operate for the foreseeable future.”
Who the hell called Dead Island Game of the Year?!
Here at PixlBit we try to report news and provide articles with as little bias as possible, but sometimes we just have to let loose and just let our true feelings be known on a particular subject. It is in this spirit that we introduce “Rage Quit,” a new series that will see one of the PixlBit staffers go off without having to worry about the little things like common decency.
379 employees are now without work.
Things haven’t been exactly sunshine and roses for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning developers 38 Studios and subsidiary Big Huge Games. The Curt Schilling run studio has been making national headlines for all the wrong reasons, initially missing the first payment of a $75 million dollar loan to the state of Rhode Island – the repercussions for which are starting to hit home.
Unfortunately we still won't be able to fly dragons.
If something has been missing from Skyrim, it’s the ability to strike down your enemies from atop a majestic steed. It seems that the folks at Bethesda were aware of this and have addressed this issue in the next update – 1.6.
And it's amazing.
We’re at a point in time when a plethora of franchises from the early days of gaming are reaching major milestones. Just one of those storied game series is Street fighter, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary all year long. Capcom has already announced that they would be holding a global tournament series to mark the occasion, but Street Fighter fans and video game collectors will surely be much more excited about the newly announced Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Collector’s Set.
A talking cave? Really? That's awesome!
With the release of a “mystery” screenshot the other day, Sega essentially let the cat out of the bag and practically told the world that they would be publishing Ron Gilbert’s pet project being developed at Double Fine. Today Sega and Double Fine came straight out and confirmed that Ron Gilbert’s secret project, titled The Cave, will be published by Sega in early 2013.
Game of the Year? Seriously?
In an announcement that is sure to surprise more than a few, a Game of the Year Edition of Dead Island will be hitting store shelves on June 26, 2012 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
Sega's mystery photo reveals quite a bit.
Ron Gilbert, the man behind Monkey Island, has been working on something for Double Fine for a bit now. The game is said to be the studio’s next release, but we’ve gotten little information on it beside a few character portraits. Today Sega dropped a hint that may lead to much more info coming sooner than later.
2013 is shaping up to be a ruckus of a gaming year.
Joining an ever growing list of highly anticipated games, Ninja Theory’s take on the Devil May Cry franchise, DmC, won’t be making it to consoles this year. The controversial title will still be making appearance at this year’s E3 (just a mere two weeks away now), but won’t be out to retail until January 15, 2013.
