So much stuff just happened right there and we are super excited about Shovel Knight burrowing his way to us on 26/06/14 and i personally can’t wait. the release trailer shows off all kinds of mechanics, NPC’s and OOOH that metal remix it’s … it’s Beauuuuutiful.
But i’ll let you guys decide for yourself if you think that this just looks like the coolest thing ever. One thing is certain it’s only a few days until The Squire of Spades entrenches himself in our hearts.
Eiji Aonuma, the developer behind recent Legend of Zelda games has hinted that the next game in the franchise might offer “more than just a single-player experience”, causing many to speculate that the next game could feature some form of multiplayer.
In a recent chat with Game Informer promoting the release of Hyrule Warriors, Aonuma was asked about the co-op in the Dynasty Warriors/Zelda crossover, and if that would influence the as yet un-named Wii U entry in the franchise.
In reply, he said:
“The two-player functionality of Hyrule Warriors is actually something that has traditionally been done in the Dynasty Warriors series, but they’ve changed because of the hardware and the second screen on your GamePad.” He continued to say that, “Instead of having a splitscreen on the television, you have one-player playing on the television and one on the GamePad. When I was talking back about making Zelda more than just a single-player experience? That’s something you will see in the future, maybe next year.”
Of course, the new Zelda was only just revealed at E3 and Nintendo is notoriously tight lipped when it comes to releasing early details on major franchises such as Zelda. Needless to say, this is a story we’ll be following closely.
What do you think? Do you like your Zelda the way it is, or would multiplayer in an open world Zelda interest you? Sound off in the comments section!
Ok, it’s not often we post fan made stuff (we really should do more, making a note for later), but when a project is actually OK’d by Games Workshop (who make Nintendo look easy going on Copyright stuff), I sit up and take note…
Check THIS out:
Ok, this looks epic, but what REALLY stands out is that this was rendered in Real Time, which is a big deal if you make videos
Still no release date for this, but looking THIS cool, I think it’s worth the wait!
The Expendables just keep on rolling. A new trailer out shows the various superstars Mel Gibson, Antonio Banderas, Jet Li and…of course, Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, and Dolph Lundgren in action. And I mean a LOT of action. The trailer also sheds a bit of light on the plot, but not much. Still, this writer is excited to see Mel Gibson playing the villain. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!
Qbeh-1: The Atlas Cube is an atmospheric first-person puzzle platformer by the developers Liquid Flower where you explore a unique world and solve puzzles using a variety of different cubes you collect as you go through the levels. This game is a “prequel” to the short student project game called Qbeh which you can find on Desura for free.
This game goes far beyond the original. It contains 5 different Worlds, each with 6 Levels to beat. Each world introduces a new mechanic to the gameplay, steadily increasing the difficulty and complexity as you go.
To solve puzzles you need to use the various cubes you find around the levels. The first one you come across is a red cube that can be used to build steps, bridges, etc. These are usually the most common ones you come across. These cubes, and any other cubes, are only allowed to be place on designated yellow areas or on each other.
The next cube you come across is a blue cube, when placed on a special block can activate various things like locked doors, fans, and moving platforms. After that you come across a purple cube which creates a low gravity area around where it’s placed. This allows the player to jump higher or further. The fourth cube you get is a green one that when placed becomes a moving platform.
Each level also has a secondary challenge. In each level there is a hidden secret golden pyramid that you can find. Sometimes you find them by chance just exploring the level, other times you have to think though the best way to get to them.
The atmosphere of this game is actually very nice. The music creates a calming atmosphere though most of the game. The world, while somewhat simple, is beautiful to look at. As you go from world to world, the shades and colors change as well as new environmental touches are added.
So if you are looking for a calming yet challenging game, Qbeh-1 is a good game to try. It encourages you to take your time to explore and solve puzzles, all the while the music sets soothing atmosphere. If you are still unsure whether you will enjoy it I would suggest trying out the short original game available free on Desura. It only contains some of the basic puzzle solving using the red blocks, but it will give you an idea how the “prequel” is.
Qbeh-1: The Atlas Cube is available for Windows and Mac on Steam.
