Life is Strange Before the Storm – 20 Minutes of Game Play

Square Enix thrilled a lot of fans this week at E3 with the announcement of a Life is Strange prequel. It wasn’t exactly a secret since word had leaked out a couple weeks ago. Regardless, a lot of fans are looking forward to learning more about Chloe as well as finding out who Rachel is.

Life is Strange Before the Storm Game Play

During E3, the developer team allowed fans to get an inside look at how the game will play. The 20-minute video features three different scenes from Episode 1. Called “Awake”, the video has been cobbled together from the much longer in-game scenes but it gives a good idea of how things will play out.

The first scene takes place in an abandoned mill where Chloe has managed to gain entry to an illegal concert. The second takes place later where the girls have spent the day together in another brand new environment. Finally, the last scene will take the girls back to an important area from the first game that fans will be familiar with.

Life is Strange Before the Storm is coming to XBox One, PC and PlayStation 4 on August 31st. You can learn more on the official site.

Injustice 2’s Red Hood is now available for early adopters

Injustice 2’s first DLC combatant, Red Hood, is now available early for folks who purchased the ultimate edition, ultimate pack or fighter pack 1.

Red Hood comes to Injustice 2

Who is the Red Hood?

Red Hood has a long and storied history with Batman, dating back to 1951. But more recently, he’s Jason Todd, Bruce Wayne’s ex-protege, and anti-hero. He’s like the DC Universe version of Punisher – unafraid to use guns or to kill to get the job done.

Injustice 2 is the super-powered sequel to the hit game Injustice: Gods Among Us that allows players to build and power up the ultimate version of their favorite DC characters. Featuring a massive selection of DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains, players can personalize iconic DC characters with unique and powerful gear earned throughout the game. Additionally, for the first time, gamers can take control of how their characters look, fight and develop across a variety of game modes.

Ni no Kuni 1 Will Not Be Coming to PC After All

After a bit of confusion earlier today, Bandai Namco confirmed that Ni no Kuni 1 is not coming to PC. The rumor began after it appeared the company hinted a PC port. However, after PCGamesN reached out for clarification, fans found out otherwise.

“Sorry we read NNK2, the first one stays on PS3. Sorry for that.:(” read a Twitter post from Bandai Namco.

Ni no Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom though…

While heartbroken that NNK1 won’t be ported to PC, at least fans know that Ni no Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom will be arriving this year. In fact, the game is scheduled to be released on November 10th for both PlayStation 4 and PC.

Players will take the part of Ding Dong Dell’s King Evan. His kingdom not only includes cats, but also mice and humans living together. However, his reign comes to an end after a coup and it is the player’s journey to place him back on his throne. Several adventurers will travel alongside Evan including sky pirates as well as others who want to restore peace.

The game is heavily influenced by the original created by Studio Ghibli. Level-5 is the developer of NNK2, though it is in “high- profile collaboration” with the original team including a former Ghibli artist.

During this week’s E3, Level-5 and Bandai Namco showed off a brand new trailer to provide a good look at the visuals.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 – Launching this year on Switch

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is just what we need on the Switch, among many other games too. I mean, who doesn’t want a grandiose JRPG in an open world with star-studded VO and cinematics? The Wii U original was widely well-received, but few people played it because no one had a Wii U. Now that should change, and hopefully gamers answer with their wallets.

From the video description:

Explore an endless ocean of clouds, where the last remnants of civilization live on the backs of colossal beasts called Titans. Experience the story of Rex and his new friend, Pyra, a mysterious being known as a Blade who grants him tremendous power. Together, search for Pyra's long lost home Elysium, the ultimate paradise for all of humanity. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is coming to Nintendo Switch, Holiday 2017.

Nintendo E3 2017 Conference Liveblog and Recap

We’re waiting… we’re waiting…

Seriously, if Mario’s hat isn’t playable itself, I’m going to cry.

Starting off with a commercial for ARMS. Makes sense. Read our review of this winner here.

But Rocket League! Yes! It’s happening! Official!

Basically just a video of Splatoon 2, FIFA Switch, and others.

Next up, Mario Odyssey! Thanks, Reggie.

Xenoblade Chronicles X 2! This year! Looks absolutely stunning. This game was sorely missed by many because of the Wii U’s bad sales. Hopefully its sequel sells a buttload.

Kirby! He’s back, bitches! Four player co-op Kirby. Lots of throwbacks to the original, tons of new stuff. Just called “Kirby” and coming in 2018.

New announcement – Pokemon! Talking about Pokken Tournament DX, but that can’t be all, can it… NOPE!

Gamefreak is making a core RPG Pokemon on Nintendo Switch! Guess those rumors were true-ish!

Next up… Metroid Prime 4! Just a teaser, but DAMN that’s enough to get me moist. No date. It’s just coming… and so am I.

New Yoshi… Paper? Adventure side scroller in same vein as the great yarn-based Yoshi.

Koei Tecmo’s new RPG, Fire Emblem Warriors. Looking pretty sweet, actually. Very story-based. Same vein as the Dragon Quest Heroes and Hyrule Warriors games.  Fall 2017!

Skyrim Switch and Zelda cross-promo. Here comes the DLC for Breath of the Wild though!

First up is the Trial of the Sword, the sort of “Horde Mode” for Breath of the Wild. Link starts naked, maybe? Seems like he has to test his might and fight through tons of different scenarios. Plus Hero’s Path Mode, new armor, the Korok Mask, Master mode (hardcore difficulty). The Master Trials DLC Pack 1!

Next is the DLC Pack 2, the new dungeon/adventure. Shows a lot of story about the protectors of Hyrule. The Champions’ Ballad, DLC 2. Story DLC FTW! All four of them will be available as Amiibo too.

eSports stuff with Splatoon 2, ARMS, and Pokken Tournament.

Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle – a bit more info than we saw yesterday. But nothing major! Can’t wait to try this. August 29th.

More Rocket League info – with Mario goodies. Customization items, cross-network play! Holiday 2017! It’s officially coming folks. Cannot wait. All features and modes, plus new exclusive cars to be revealed.

Mario Odyssey time! More footage of the crazy amount of worlds you’ll see. Looks absolutely gorgeous on the Switch. Hat has tons of abilities. Different forms, like Sombrero? Bowser finally trying to marry Peach. You know Mario has got to stop that. Football Mario? Easter Island Mario? Good god… this looks like the best Mario ever. Mario + T-Rex can’t go wrong.

RELEASING 10/27/17!
