By Sean Fallon - October 22, 2019 11:05 am EDT Share 0 Comments 0 Darksiders Genesis from THQ Nordic is described as a top-down Diablo-style action RPG that will kick off "a completely fresh direction for the Darksiders franchise". The standard game is available to pre-order now for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC - but superfans with deep pockets (and / or board game fanatics) might be interested in the insane collector's editions of the game that went live today. The Nephilim Edition is the ultimate version with only 5000 units available worldwide and an eye-popping price tag of $379.99. Pre-orders are available here for all four platforms. For that chunk of change you'll get the game, an awesome-looking Strife figurine, a Steelbook, an artbook, the soundtrack, a sticker sheet, and the Darksiders: The Forbidden Land board game. Details on the board game have not been fully revealed, but the image illustrates that it will include a whopping … [Read more...] about Darksiders Genesis Nephilim Edition Includes a Very Expensive Board Game

By Christian Hoffer - November 11, 2019 01:14 pm EST Share 0 Comments 0 Hour of Need combines innovative tabletop mechanics with a brand new comic book world to explore. Earlier this month, Blacklist Games launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund Hour of Need, a new co-op tabletop game. The game is set in an original world inspired by modern day comics, with brand new heroes and villains and storylines determined by the players. Hour of Need uses a Modular Deck System to provide players with new challenges with every game session, as players can mix and match heroes, villains, and schemes using the different decks. The world of Hour of Need is unique, and plays with modern comic book archetypes and tropes without feeling derivative. Many of the heroes and villains of Hour of Need have ties to the Astrallacy, a a recently discovered inter-dimensional space with powerful energies and alien entities. From the powerful Majesty who shares a body with an alien … [Read more...] about Explore a New World of Comic Book Action in New Hour of Need Tabletop Game

By Tanner Dedmon - September 5, 2017 04:45 pm EDT Share 0 Comments 0 Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games and 2K Games, gave some insight into their games' microtransactions during the Cowen and Company Conference on Wednesday, and while it looks like the in-game purchases are here to stay, they're trying to make each one meaningful for the players. As reported by GameSpot, the CEO of Take-Two, Strauss Zelnick, touched on a variety of topics during the conference, one of the primary ones being the use of microtransactions in their games. One of the main games that comes to mind when considering Take-Two and Rockstar's titles is certainly Grand Theft Auto 5 and the online platform GTA Online that uses a fairly limited amount of microtransactions in the game. Even amid the in-game purchasing options, GTA Online keeps coming out with plenty of free content and discounts that can be used to buy things with in-game currency as opposed to real … [Read more...] about Take-Two Will Continue Using Microtransactions In Future Games

By Robert Workman - September 5, 2017 05:02 pm EDT Share 0 Comments 0 Yesterday, we broke the news that Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2 wouldn’t be making its fall 2017 release date, instead set to arrive sometime in early 2018. A lot of fans were disappointed that the game would be taking its sweet time coming out, but it turns out there’s a pretty good reason as to why it was given a little more time. During an earnings call today, Rockstar executive Strauss Zelnick explained, “The purpose of the delay for Red Dead Redemption 2 is to make sure we deliver the most extraordinary game we’re capable of providing.” But there’s more to it than that. “We have not run into particular issues,” he continued. "We are building a new game from the ground up for the first time for new-generation consoles. And the pressure that we put on ourselves to deliver excellence and to delight consumers is extraordinary. "We … [Read more...] about Rockstar Games: Here’s Why Red Dead Redemption 2 Has Been Delayed

By Nathan Birch - November 9, 2017 05:37 pm EST Share 0 Comments 0 As you may have heard, popular Grand Theft Auto V modding tool OpenIV recently got the kibosh. OpenIV is only designed for use with the single-player component of GTA V, but it’s been used as a foundation for various hacking mods and tools afflicting GTA Online. Take-Two Interactive, who owns GTA studio Rockstar Games, has been cracking down hard on GTA Online cheaters, and Open IV got caught in the blowback. Unsurprisingly, fans were not happy about the death of OpenIV. Messing around with mods is arguably the main reason most people still play GTA V, and a large portion of those mods are based on OpenIV. It really felt like Take-Two was cutting off their nose to spite their face. GTA V has been flooded with negative reviews on Steam, a petition to revive OpenIV gained nearly 80,000 signatures, and GTA forums have been a warzone. Well, thankfully, it seems like the great Grand Theft Auto … [Read more...] about Grand Theft Auto V Makers Rockstar Games Talk Parent Company Into Allowing Modding Tools
