Angry Birds Epic is coming, and it's going to be a turn-based RPG. Wait what?
It has crafting, turn-based battles, magic, and of course, microtransactions. It also stands to reason that given the mass appeal of Angry Birds, it probably won't be too taxing strategically -- but then again, how else are you going to push people into those micro-payments?
It's actually out now in Australia, New Zealand and Canada, and the rest of the world will get it shortly.
In case you haven't heard, the developer behind Puzzle & Dragons has crafted an Angry Birds-like game with RPG elements called Princess Punt. You'll control the titular hero as she attempts to slide into enemies and push them away, castle defense style. But apparently starting this week it'll also feature characters from Attack on Titan -- only in Japan, of course.
Based on the trailer it seems to feature the Female Titan, as well as the Armored Titan and the Colossal Titan -- which you've probably seen from the promotional material. Hopefully it'll make it westward!
Tetsuya Mizuguchi, most famous for developing trippy shooters Child of Eden and Rez, has departed Q Entertainment, according to an unnamed employee who reportedly contacted CVG to relay the news.
Though Mizuguchi founded Q Entertainment in 2003...
Rogue Legacy was one of my favorite games of 2013, so I had to attend the postmortem talk on its development at the Game Developers Conference this year. Their main point of focus was developing games on a budget.
Brothers Teddy and Kenny Lee from Cellar Door Games described themselves as a budget oriented team, focusing more on gameplay over expensive highly detailed worlds. "That means we're always on the lookout for solutions that are cheap, fast, and reusable," Kenny stated. "So we often implement solutions that aren't as good if the cost savings are justified. That also means we'll never make the perfect game, but we're okay with that."
Before Rogue Legacy, Cellar Door made eight titles, which includes the infamous Don't Sh*t Your Pants. On average it cost the studio $1,000 to make each of those game, with development times that ranged from two days, to three and a half months.
The experience they gained from developing those titles led into their biggest project to date, Rogue Legacy. It took them a year and a half to develop the casual roguelike from start to finish, and in total their out of pocket cost for the whole project was $14,878. "That's still a lot of money compared to the $1,000 for our previous projects, but if you consider the scope of the game I think we did a pretty good job at keeping the costs down," Kenny noted.
After the game went on sale the team was able to cover all of the developments costs in less than an hour. And they moved 100,000 copies after its first week of availability. That was "well beyond anything we had ever anticipated."

D Git's sad that people defend this crap. this should have been a free demo.
Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes can be as long as you want it to be. But it can also be pretty short. How short? Well as Eurogamer demonstrated, you can beat the entire story in just 10 minutes.
Okay. Ummm serious question. If huffing nitrous oxide on the floor of the children’s toy section at Walmart isn’t your rock-bottom in life, what is?

If you have a little kid, chances are you've had your fill of the song "Let It Go."
Well, before you rip your hair out in frustration at yet another Let It Go post, check out this rendition by Brian Hull who sings it in the voices of the following Disney and Pixar characters:
Color me impressed. That was most excellent, Brian!
First Matteo Mallucelli 's incident, and now this. Gaston Kearby decided that the best way to get back on track after spinning out was to spin his wheels some more, and whip out onto the racing line, causing Alex Tagliani to slam into him. What the hell, Gaston Kearby?

First impressions are important, so why be boring when there are so many other ways to greet and say “Hello”?
The Oculus Rift headset is doing its best to draw players into the virtual realities it hosts, but traditional or motion-assisted controllers are typically used to interact with these virtual worlds. Thelmic Labs has a different vision for player...
