I should say that it's a heavy metal album. I don't know what difference that makes.

>The Konami thing just sounds like a press release of not substance though.

Definitely but I figured the topic was newsworthy even if it's just to go 'Konami said nothing of value'.

>>17316

Aren't all their PC releases Steam only? Figured they'd be better about that.

>>17321

>Capcom is releasing a twelve-song metal remix album for the DMC franchise called Devil May Cry HR/HM Arrange. No DmC; DMC 1-4 only. Will be out on the 19th of August.

Very nice though the DMC OST was already metal enough for the most part but I still look forward to those remixes.

>>17323

>>17316

Shit sucks, I know, but PC is going to continue being a DRM locked distributor exclusives field unless you try to do something by letting the devs know. Email wayforward and urge them to release half genie hero drm free like I did.

The new Need for Speed game is going to always online.

https://archive.is/muo1P

Gee, I wonder what's going to happen.

>>17324

>metal enough for the most part

Yeah, I'm wondering if they plan on making it more metal or they simply wanted to clarify that it was going to be of a similar sound/style to the original.

>>17327

Agreed, how else would they know? There's no point of them going with Desura though, as there's been a lot of talk about them not paying developers.

Nintendo had a Japan-only direct today. Mostly showing off already announced games and dated them. I'm going to assume the vast majority of people here don't give a shit about Japanese release dates.

New stuff:

Tobidasu! Nyanko Daisensou (3DS) port of a tower defence iOS game with cats (eShop only out now)

New Chibi-Robo for 3DS. There's a Chibi-Robo amiibo as well. (13m30s)

New Dr Mario (3DS) out now on eShop

Mario & Sanic at the special Olympics 2016 (Wii U and 3DS)

Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Palico Village DX (3DS)

Monster Hunter X/Cross (3DS) 2015 (27m45s)

24,30 showed off a little bit of gameplay for Project Treasure (which had nothing at announcement) Disarming traps, fighting mummies and shit.

>>17354

I'd really like that Chibi-Robo amiibo but that entire thing has been mishandled terribly here in the US. Likely no point in it.

>>17355

Amiibos? What have they done?

>>17354

>Sir, we're making a new chibi-robo, how do you want it?

>Just fuck my shit up

Every time

At least this one looks like an actual game, I guess

>>17356

Completely fucked the pooch on supply. A lot of the ones that aren't Mario or Zelda are virtually impossible to buy for retail. A huge second hand market has sprung up of people taking advtange. Buying stock in bulk, selling at a markup. Selling these 13$ figures for 30-50 bucks a pop, sometimes 90 because people are so desperate to get them for whatever reason. Throw in that this has gone on for almost a year now and they keep adding more in-game content that's locked to amiibos, which most people can't get, and you get the shitstorm that's going down with all of that.

What I intitially meant with the Chibi-Robo comment was I'm going to assume he'll have the same problems. He'll have very small stock that sells out in minutes, if not seconds. The entirety of Amazon's stock of Robin and Lucina amiibos from Fire Emblem sold out in 6-10 seconds by the way. He'll probably fall into that trap of being too hard to get, and not worth the trouble.

>>17373

>they keep adding more in-game content that's locked to amiibos, which most people can't get, and you get the shitstorm that's going down with all of that.

That's the one reason why I think amiibos are worse than general DLC. I wasn't sure if they had changed it (it's retarded) but they're unnecessarily limiting how many people get that content. Makes more sense to have both so people who just want the content can get it.

>The entirety of Amazon's stock of Robin and Lucina amiibos from Fire Emblem sold out in 6-10 seconds by the way.

Jeez.

There was a Micro Nintendo Direct this morning.

So coming West:

New Dr Mario (June)

New Chibi-Robo (Autumn) The amiibo is exclusive with a bundle of the game.

Mario & Sanic (August)

Bravely Second (2016)

Project Treasure (whenever)

Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon (Winter)

Art Academy Wii U (June)

Little Battlers Experience (August) Some kid anime thing with robots.

http://time.com/3903779/lego-minecraft/

New game called LEGO Worlds, it's pretty much a giant lego sandbox, minecraft with legos. Sounds interesting, I'm hoping they will have gameplay besides just building, because once you finish your castle, these sorts of games can get boring.

>>17410

Also being developed by Travellers Tales, who have handled the games like Lego Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, so I have high hopes if they put the gameplay formula from those into an open world building game.

It appears to be 15 dollars which is a fair price, but is steam exclusive and early access. I'm going to email TT to ask for a DRM free release.

>Along with that tidbit there’s also references to promotional images regarding pre-order bonuses (ohhh goodie….) on the Xbone, PS4 and Steam.

Surely at this point publishers would put a bit more effort into hiding this stuff. I know F4 was something that was going to happen but seriously.

Arkane is working on a "similar game" to Dishonored but have made no announcement on what it is yet and they've already said Dishonored is a new franchise due to how well it sold.

Namco has announced Tales of Berseria for PS3 and PS4. Not much information yet.

The pictures aren't very big but you can get the idea of her design from them.

Always glad for a new pirate game though.

According to "a source" Squeenix is working on a new Front Mission game.

https://archive.is/C96Bu

>The game is being developed by Square Enix Japan along with former Armored Core producer Toshifumi Nabeshima. Nabeshima moved from FromSoftware where he created Chromehounds for Sega and Armored Core V to Square Enix.

>>17536

Well, Squeenix did also announce a F2P mecha shooter called Figureheads for PC today. I doubt they'd be making two similar games at the same time, so if they are making it it should (hopefully) be an SRPG.

I also couldn't find anything on Nabeshima past 2013 (when his last game, Armored Core: Verdict Day, was released), so it's possible he's left FS.

Platinum is apparently anouncing a new game at E3 https://archive.is/j5DLA

do they normally anounce their games or is it the company that hires them to do it?

>>17550

Usually that sort of thing is left to the publisher.

It's probably MGR2, since that was hinted at during the Taipai Game show.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst is officially announced for PS4, Xbone and PC

https://archive.is/PblJi

It basically announced yesterday on twitter and with the website being made.

>I’m excited to tell you that it’s paid off — by this time next week, you will have finally seen more of the game at E3.

>The team has spent a lot of time re-evaluating every aspect of the game and making it a new experience. This is not a sequel, this is not Mirror’s Edge 2. We have landed on a vision that honors the first game — pushing the boundaries of first person movement and diving deeper into the story behind our heroine Faith — but also brings a lot of great new, interesting gameplay and features to the experience for our players.

Also there's going to be an Xbone with more storage (the current one is getting a permanent price drop) and a redesigned controller.

>The new controller has a direct 3.5mm headset jack, an increase of the maximum audio for headsets, improved controller audio quality, and it works with all existing controller accessories. The bumpers have been fine-tuned to be more consistently good with performance, and the controller can now be updated wireless via new firmware updates (compared to the old one, which needed to be tethered).

>The new controller will be sold separately in black or camo silver/black color variations. A new $24.99 Xbox Wireless Adapter is coming to Windows this fall, which lets you wirelessly use your Xbox One controller with a Windows 10 PC.

>>17601

I don't think it was every really "bloated". It's still less intrusive than Steam.

Hyrule Warriors is getting a 3DS port.

MGS5 possibly has micro-transactions according to the Italian Playstation Pre-Order Store. https://archive.is/TdMGG

>The line "Acquisti in-game opzionali," which roughly translates to "optional in-game purchases," confirms suspicions first raised by a few recent previews of The Phantom Pain.

>At one point in The Phantom Pain demo, according to Otero, attempting to speed up development on Mother Base resulted in the following prompt: "Reduced time features cannot be used in offline mode."

>The Phantom Pain uses the same in-game currency system as Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, called Gross Military Product, or GMP. Similar to Peace Walker, GMP is used in The Phantom Pain to build up your base.

>Speculation says that the PSN requirement, combined with the reveal of "optional in-game purchases" on the game's store page, could indicate the use of real money for certain features relating to Mother Base, like buying GMP, but nothing has officially been confirmed by Konami.

Toukiden: Kiwami is getting a DRM-only PC port.

I don't know what the difference is between that and Monster Hunter but it's basically Monster Hunter.

Tales of Zestiria is getting a PS4 and PC release in October.

Scalebound isn't going to be at E3.

I'm still pretty certain the '2' was for MGR, but I don't know how many games PG work on at a time.

Dark in Two Souls: The Path of the Shadows

>You are Aragami, an undead assassin with the power to control the shadows. Yamiko, a noble girl from the sacred city of Kyûryu has been imprisoned by Kaihô, an army of warriors with the power to control Light. As you come back to life, your souls are bound together, sealing your destinies. Engage in a dark journey through land and memories to destroy her prison seals.

>Playing much along the lines of traditional stealth games like Tenchu, players take the role of a mystic warrior as he sneaks into fortress to resecue and enchanted princess. Being discovered in the light, as well as direct combat, is incredible deadly. However, you are even deadlier in the shadows, using you sword, and shadow demons to terrify and eliminate your opponents.

>PC/Mac/Linux (not sure if Steam only), Xbox One and PS4 sometime in Spring 2016.

It actually feels more like a "Warriors" game than like MH

>>17689

So more like a combination of the two? That's cool. I only looked up a little bit of gameplay footage. I do like Musou games though so I might give it a go.

Nintendo's next home console Metroid Prime game will now likely not release until the company has launched its next-generation console, codenamed NX.

https://archive.is/UlEGN

>"If we started for Wii U now, it would likely take three years or so. So it would likely now be on Nintendo's NX console," [Kensuke Tanabe] said.

>"It's a long time but it would need to include a lot of content, which would take a lot of work on the development side."

>"I'm the producer of the Metroid Prime series, and [Metroid series co-creator] Yoshio Sakamoto is the one in charge of Metroid itself. I'm not sure when he's planning on making such an announcement so I can't speak for him.

>"I'm not thinking about anything like that [partnering with another studio] right now. We have nothing to announce on working with any specific team."

>This all points to Wii U not seeing a new Metroid Prime (or just Metroid), which is a shame, as the GamePad screen could make for an ingenious way of scanning enemies or items on screen.

>"It is a great idea, I agree. Truth be told, making HD games takes a lot of time and resources," Tanabe concluded when asked why Nintendo had not made a Metroid Prime for Wii U. "I haven't been able to collect a team or the resources to do it."

Hitman won't have paid DLC or microtransactions

https://archive.is/Ic9TH

>“What we put out there is going to be a big game. But over the course of 2016 we'll add more locations, more missions and we'll have things like targets that only appear for, say, two days. That's something you can only do in the live world.

>“It's $60, no dollar more, no DLC or microtransactions or stuff like that. You will buy it and you will have entertainment for a few months on top."

It also doesn't have gameplay footage.

>>17757

I wonder how long they'll keep saying that before releasing some DLC for the game.

>>17759

It would be stupid for them to lie about it. If anything it'll mean there's going to be very little DLC.

Polish developers People Can Fly (Painkiller devs) are now back to being called PCF, after being bought by Epic Games and rebranded 'Epic Games Poland'.
