The sequel game to popular game Hotline Miami will be delayed for some more ‘tweaks and polish’ before it’s released the official Twitter account tweeted yesterday.

Already there are some changes confirmed to the full game that make it different from the 2013 demo that was given to journalists to try out. One of those was a rape scene, and Dennaton had already assured fans that they were trying to fix the game to make sure you’d never have known it had been in the game in the first place. Sounds like a sound decision.

Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is still getting some final tweaks and polish, expected to be ready for late 2014 or early 2015.

As the above tweet says, don’t expect to see Hotline Miami 2 before sometime late this year or even early in the next. Hope you can wait that long for your fix of masked chaos. If not, try the Payday 2 DLC that Dennaton helped make with Overkill Games.

Turtle Rock and 2K have confirmed that the previously ‘Xbox-exclusive’ alpha of their new Evolve will indeed by exclusive to Microsoft’s console. For a day.

There will be a PC alpha and what’s more, it’ll start on October 31st – a day after the Xbox alpha starts. Both alphas can be accessed if you’ve pre-ordered the game and will last through until November 2nd. A full weekend to practice your teamwork and trapping skills or your bloodlust when it comes to competing against your friends and goring them to death. Whatever takes your fancy.

There will be a further Beta for pre-order gamers in January 2015 which we’ve been told by Turtle Rock will also be an Xbox-exclusive. No guarantee that this exclusivity won’t be stretched as the Alpha is being, but all PC-playing fans of this game might as well keep an eye on the news, just in case. The full release of the 4 vs 1 monster hunting co-op game will come sometime in February 2015.

Recent;ly there seems to have been a lot of sales of smaller but successful companies to the bigger dominating forces in the media. And if rumours are to be believed, Unity might soon be one of them.

Unity is currently valued at somewhere around $2 billion according to VentureBeat. Inside sources say that the company has been courting the likes of Google to possibly prepare for a sale. There’s been at least one potential buyer they’ve had serious talks with and presentations given to more besides.

Unity of course is a very popular games engine that appeared in 2004 and due to its ability to allow games to be programmed for multiple different platforms, it has especially gained favour in the growing market of indie game developers. Heck, you could even argue that it helped the rise of the indies in recent years.

At the moment Unity is keeping quiet on whether or not there will be a sale of the engine to another company.

Gaming for charity seems to be getting popular. There’s going to be an event taking place today and it’s thanks to a team-up between OnLive and Extra Life.

OnLive’s 7th annual Game Day event will occur from 12:01am PST until 11:59pm PST today, and through it users of the service from the US, Canada and UK will be able to play any of OnLive’s 250+ PlayPack games which include such titles as Darksiders II, Batman: Arkham City and Saints Row the Third. An OnLive account is required to play, but signing up is free. Joining with the OnLive fundraising team means that your gaming will also be raising money for around 170 children’s charities too.

“Our hope is to rally awareness and participation for Extra Life in advance of their Game Day marathon by offering free gaming and multiple tiers of rewards to anyone who joins in and games for the cause.” says Jeff Woods, the OnLive Team’s captain.

And in case the charity aspect wasn’t enough to get you involved, there’ll be prizes and rewards for those who raise certain amounts of money. Raising $5 will get you a free month of OnLive and more rewards are available to those who raise $25, $50, $100, $200, $300 and $500, including more free months of OnLive and free games. Also, the top five participants will get a MadCatz microconsole and controller or a Wikipad gaming tablet.

Good news if you’re a fan of the video games Disney Interactive makes. A sizeable number of their back catalog has just been released on Steam today, the main ‘jewel’ probably being Epic Mickey 2 – a game that had previously had its PC port cancelled everywhere except parts of Eastern Europe.

It comes as a bit of a surprise, after all the company that made that game, Warren Spector’s Junction Point, was shut down by Disney just after Christmas. That could be blamed on the fact that although Epic Mickey was a loved game, the sequel didn’t do quite as well and neither game really did as well as it had been hoped they would do. I’ve played the first on the Wii, and while it is a wonderful game the controls really could have used some work. Regardless, I’ll probably stick the sequel onto my wishlist.
