IronFall Dev Announces a New Game

There are lot of talented indie developers out there but to us 3DS Game Knights there is one team that stands above the others. VD-Dev a 3 man team who crafted the remarkable IronFall, an impressive Gears of War clone for the 3DS. The game had its flaws but it played and looked brilliant, even managing to hit a solid 60FPS on both 3DS and New 3DS. Here take a look at the trailer.

Right so that's our gushing out the way and now its time for the reason why we've gather you here today. The three man superstar team has announced an brand new title 'RISE: Race the Future' a racing title inspired by Sega Rally, RISE is set in the near future where cars are equipped with "air lifting" technology which allows cars to keep racing even over deep water.

RISE will feature the classic arcade mode, a 'history' mode that allows you to unlock more cars and explore the games plot that will "reveal the true purpose of air lift tech". The guys at VD-Dev are teaming up with automotive designer Anthony Jannerlly, who unsurprisingly will be designing the titles futuristic cars.

Just look at that, how lovely is that! Money well spent recruiting Jannerlly. RISE will be hitting basically every single platform Xbox One, PS4, PC, Mobile, Wii U, and 3DS later this year. But interestingly it'll be hitting the Nintendo NX next year too. Which if we're not mistaken is the first (not Zelda) title announced for the system. lets have a look at the teaser.

Abe's Take
I am looking foward to this, every ingredient here is has me excited, and frankly I cant wait.
on a different note. I love how even this reveal gives us no clues on the Nintendo NX as the 2016 launch covers a wide range of forms and specs.

Least Interesting Humble Bundle Ever!

Humble Bundle are personal heroes of mine. They offer selections of games at massive discounts, The money goes to charity and you get to choose how much you pay. Infact 99% of my steam and origin library is Humble Bundle.

This weeks hot deal is - Simulation... Sadly not like last weeks Civilisation simulation. 'Euro Truck Simulator' simulation. 

Yeah. I suppose if you wanted any of these games you can get them all for a fraction of the cost of just one. Visit Humble Bundle to get you hands on these Games

I would suggest you take a look at their Indie Bundle instead. It contains the Awesome FEZ (why no 3DS port!), Monaco, Dust: An Elysian Tale and Gianna Sisters. The Average price that unlocks more games and sound tracks currently sits at £2.79

DayZ & Rust Looking at Xbox One & PS4

Massive PC hits eyeing up next-gen consoles

 Two of the largest Indie "Survival Sims" on PC DayZ and Rust have reportedly looking in to development for the newest living room boxes. You'll notice the use of "Survival Sims" as i discus these games as generally you don't survive long before another player ends you

DayZ - A rarity a gun NOT point at your back

DayZ creator Dean Hall has revealed that he has "extensive discusions" with Microsoft about bringing his zombie "Survival Sim" and is prepared to bring it to "Any feasible platform with a realistic publishing model". Mr Hall was careful to be clear that he still thinks PC is his lead platform "I personally feel the new consoles have yet to prove themselves able to rival the PC experience, however I feel there is the potential from both." despite briefly saying he was considering an PS4 release in the past this was before Microsoft reversed its self publishing rules and formed ID@XBOX program, but now seems to of swung the other way "I've not personally had the opportunity to view the full details of the PS4 whereas I have had the opportunity to talk extensively with Microsoft. The next-gen consoles show very exciting promise. I'm hopeful that they can deliver on that." He hopes to bring the "edginess" of the PC development to consoles 

Rust - Scared, Naked and Alone... till your not

Rust is also looking at console releases and actually creator Garry Newman has recently received Xbox One dev kits, though he suspects it'll be some time before a possible version could be release due to the fact the games is in early alpha (like DayZ) and neither Sony or Microsoft have an early access styles system for unfinished games.

Rust's player murder is vaguely more justified simple because it isn't pitching it self as a "Zombie Survival Sim" and feels a little bit like a realistic Minecraft



Both games are massive success. Rust has clear 1 million sales in a little over a month and i set to follow Minecrafts lighting path, it's a little harder to track DayZ's true success since it started life as a mod for ARMA 2 and continues to be supported as the Stand Alone alpha is being developed.

Both games would be welcomed additions to consoles and much like Minecraft's console port may provide a more stable (performance and visual) experience/
