Currently a Kickstarter for a first-person horror game that involves a blind girl is drawing to a close. It has said girl exploring through a haunted manor and to help push towards that goal of $150,000 the developers, Deep End Games, have released a new game play trailer.

Cassie, the girl in the game uses a form of echolocation to help her find the way around the world and it sounds like a decent concept for the game. Another gameplay mode called ‘Mode 7’ will also be unveiled by the developers as part of this last push towards target.

The Kickstarter wraps at 6am PDT June 25th. Click the link below if you’re interested in backing.

Riot have put up a new video teaser for an upcoming champion for League of Legends – the River King.

A giant fishy monster, the trailer also features a fable involving a character called the ‘Gambler’ whom players are speculating the possible identity of. Some think he’s actually the champion Twisted Fate.

Watch it below and see what you think:

Windows 10 has been a fairly popular topic of discussion for the last year or so, mainly down to the fact that Microsoft seem to be pushing its advantages to all and sundry. One of the biggest points to entice users has been the free upgrade to Windows 10 if you own windows 7 or Windows 8.1 already.

But what about the rest? Well now there’s a way for you to get a free update too, and it’s been promoted by Microsoft themselves.

A post on Microsoft’s windows Blog detailed the way how, which involves downloading and installing the Windows 10 Preview Build and registering it to your Microsoft account so you can get the upgrade.

“Windows Insiders running the Windows 10 Insider Preview (Home and Pro editions) with their registered MSA connected to their PC will receive the final release build of Windows 10 starting on July 29th. This will come as just another flight. I’ve gotten a lot of questions from Windows Insiders about how this will work if they clean installed from ISO. As long as you are running an Insider Preview build and connected with the MSA you used to register, you will receive the Windows 10 final release build and remain activated. Once you have successfully installed this build and activated, you will also be able to clean install on that PC from final media if you want to start over fresh.”

This does of course mean that you also need to sign up to the Windows Insider program, but it’s up to you whether you think that is a price too steep for the free OS.

Square Enix took to the stage at E3 today with news on games both known and unknown, as well as announcing two mysterious ‘in-progress’ projects.

The press conference kicked off with a trailer for Just Cause 3, and between it and the one shown a few minutes later we’re certainly not going to be short on video game explosions when it releases. Avalanche Studios were there to speak about the game and how they want to make it the best of the series up to date, listing the addition of a wingsuit and improvements to the grappling hook as things they’d done to work towards that. The second trailer also showed off a bunch of crazy stuff you can supposedly do that looked amazingly fun. The game will release globally on December 1st for Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Rise of the Tomb Raider also had a trailer shown during the conference, with a behind-the-scenes section on how they worked to make Lara as lifelike as possible also being shown. Not to everyone’s interest, but damn that detail was pretty. Tomb Raider also showed up in a new mobile game announced for phones and tablets – Lara Croft Go.

Deux Ex: Mankind Divided was also there, with a release time of somewhere around the early part of 2016 being announced as well as the platforms of Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC again. There was a reveal of what they called the first “in-game” trailer and we were informed that the game was built in a new game engine and focused around the ‘evolution’ of the main character.

One franchise I hadn’t expected to see make an appearance was the Hitman series, and a new digital game was announced. The new Hitman game will release on December 8th and will feature new quests added regularly that have a time limit before the target vanishes and even if you do kill the target the way you do it will effect what new options become available in future. The game will apparently be updated depending on player feedback as well, which is interesting.

The two mystery projects both looked interesting, with one being announced as a new original RPG and the other showing nothing but a short trailer. The one with just a trailer was by Platinum Games Inc. and called “NieR New Project”. The game itself was stated to be in a very early state of development so we didn’t get many details about it during the conference. The other project was called “Project Setsuna” and was being handled by a newly formed studio – Tokyo RPG Factory. Again, details were sparse. Platinum did choose to make their presentation memorable in quite a unique way though…

… Dear lord. o.0;;

Obviously as one of Square Enix’s biggest franchises Final Fantasy was incredibly visible. As well as showing off the Final Fantasy VII remake that was announced last night at Sony’s conference again (with a promise of more details coming this winter), a ‘Final Fantasy Portal App’ was announced to be coming to devices this summer. It apparently acts as an information database for all things Final Fantasy. Finally the Final Fantasy game that had the most time given to it was World of Final Fantasy, a game with cutesy style characters (which can convert to ‘proper’ sizes too) that was intended as a way to help new players get used to the Final Fantasy universe without overloading them with the history of it. That’ll also be releasing sometime in 2016.

Kingdom Hearts was also there, much to the happiness of the crowd (you could hear the “YES”es on the stream!). Two games were announced, for Kingdom Hearts Unchained Key, a mobile platform game that will be released in North America (no mention of Europe) and will link into the story of the other game: Kingdom Hearts 3. The trailer for that game was full of colourful scenes, fights, ridiculous moves (they included a train and TEACUPS for god’s sake) and a game of chess. Really.

A new Star Ocean game was also announced, Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness. Trailers were shown that included actual gameplay footage and a lot was made of the fact that everything was programmed to be seamless – no loading, no jumping from the action. There will also be two types of cutscene, the traditional one and ‘dynamic’ cutscenes. The game will release in North America and Europe next year.

The conference ended with a trailer listing all we had just seen with the creators coming back on stage to take one last bow. All in all, the conference contained a few surprises but was pretty much what was expected and because there was so much squeezed in, nothing really got a lot of focus which seemed a bit of a shame.

Watch it below:

The Bethesda conference started out tonight with Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb interviewing some Fallout cosplayers outside the venue. There were some impressive costumes on display. They also interviewed the person at the front of the line, who said he has been waiting 6 years for Fallout 4 and looked quite sweaty and dehydrated.

After a replay of the reveal trailer of Fallout 4, the hosts then moved on to discuss the change in color palette and how the world looks much brighter. And of course, there is a dog.

After some more discussion about Fallout, they moved onto Doom. And played the trailer (which admittedly is 4 seconds long) 4 or 5 times in a gag that got tired very quickly.

Bethesda moved on to an opening montage of their games and then brought out Pete Heinz to the Skyrim theme to introduce their first ever E3 conference. First up on the presentation was a history of Doom, along with Marty Stratton, the Executive Producer of id Software. The first reveal of Doom was interesting to say the least. We started out with a marine moving through a futuristic facility, using the shotgun to take on hordes of enemies. There was plenty of blood and gore on display, but the game looked very sluggish on screen. Granted, the game seemed atmospheric, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that this wasn’t actual gameplay. Also, there was a slow motion effect when switching weapons that seemed very out of place. Also on display were several gruesome executions. Of course, it wouldn’t be Doom without tons of weapons, and all of them were on display. Shotgun, super shotgun, plasma rifle, machine gun and the chainsaw. The chainsaw kills were particularly gruesome, but the same animations were repeated several times. Granted, it is a demo.

Multiplayer on the otherhand, looked fast, snappy and, with one player snagging a powerup and  transforming in to the revenant. It was bloody and frantic looking. They also showed off the new map editor called Snapmap, which allows players to create new maps easily and quickly. They then closed out the Doom segment with a look at hell.  The area was grim, creepy and awesome, showcasing some hard fights with high powered weaponry like the rocket launcher. Near the end, the Cyberdemon made an appearance and then they…cut the trailer right as the BFG was charging up.

Moving back to the wider picture, Bethesda announced Bethesda.net, their own platform for launching all of their games . The next game to be shown off was Battlecry, which looked somewhat like a TF2 clone. While I wasn’t impressed, it may be for some people. They also announced that you can sign up for a beta of the game and it will be coming in 2015.

The next major highlight has to be Arkane Studios coming out on stage. This is the team that brought us Dishonored, and they jumped straight into a trailer for the sequel. Perhaps the biggest reveal was that you will be playing as either Corvo, orEmily Kaldwin and she apparently has the Outsider’s Power. The trailer was stylish, fast paced and stunning. Dishonored 2 will be available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Also announced was Dishonored Definitive Edition, an enhanced version of the game which includes all DLC for Xbox One and PS4.

Next up was a peek at whats coming to Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited. The realm of the Orcs was shown, as were several new areas that looked to be dungeons. Mobile also played a part in the presentation, with the company showing off an Elder Scrolls themed card game called Elder Scrolls Legends. Only art assets were shown, but no actual gameplay. It will be free to play on PC and iPad.

The final presentation was for Fallout 4, after some rather forced jokes about it being the end of the show. Todd Howard director of Bethesda Game Studios took the stage to show off the new game, first talking about the power of games to transport the player to new worlds, and the experiences that they deliver.  They then launched into a montage of concept art for the game, showing some impressive concepts and ideas, including what the world looked like before the bombs fell.

Character creation was up next, allowing you to simply drag your character’s face in real time to create your custom avatar. You can also play as a female. The new game starts before the bombs fell, which is an interesting change from the established formula. As the characters you created head for the vault, a bomb goes off and the screen cuts to black. However, Bethesda refused to reveal much more of the story. They instead cut to post bomb gameplay, 200 years into the future. The open world looked impressive. And, of course, they showed off the dog, highlighting the ability to give the dog contextual commands by simply pointing at the environment and pressing a button. A brief combat section was shown, showcasing the VATS targeting system before moving into a montage of various areas in the game. There was an impressive level of detail on display, although Bethesda’s character animations still leave a bit to be desired.

They also provided a look at the new Pip Boy, showing off the various menus and highlighting the idea of a latered armor system. You can also insert game tapes into your Pip Boy and play Fallout versions of classic games on it. You will also be able to get a real Pip Boy with the collector’s edition of the game, including an app for it for iOS and Android. Keeping with the mobile theme, Fallout Shelter was shown off. This is a 2d game that has you in command of a vault and its dwellers in a kind of cross between the Sims and Progress Quest. The game will be free and they claim it will have no paywalls and they announced it would be available after the conference. Unfortunately, its iOS only.

Jumping back to Fallout 4, they showed off a mode that allows you to build your own settlement and fully customize every aspect of it from lighting to defenses. They were quick to note that it is completely optional, but you will be able to create multiple bases and craft all manner of things. This transitioned into the weapon crafting system, which allows you to use almost any item you find in the game world to modify your weapons and your armor. They then closed the Fallout segment with a combat montage set to trademark Fallout period appropriate music. And…a Teddy Bear cannon…..

Fallout 4 will be released November 10, 2015.

The presentation closed with a thank you from the studio. All in all, a strong showing for Bethesda’s first ever E3 conference.
