The Reticule (Not at) E3 – Rainbow Six: Siege and Dead Island 2

The Reticule (Not at) E3 – Rainbow Six: Siege and Dead Island 2

While E3 has come to an end, and many a British journalist is facing a long-slog home to face the jet-lag, we here at The Reticule are still going to have some thoughts to share on what was revealed in Los Angeles. Right now I want to take a moment to talk briefly about two games which unexpectedly caught my attention, Rainbow Six: Siege and Dead Island 2.

Non-E3 News – Euro Truck Sim 2 Going Nordic

In our continued attempts here at Reticule Towers to be perceived as a legitimate emporium of games journalism, we are again eschewing the notion that E3 is all anyone cares about when the big show is taking place. I mean, don’t people want to know a little bit about the latest European Truck Simulator 2 news? I for one, most certainly do. Hit the break for the low-down.

The Reticule (Not at) E3 – Zelda (!)

One of the biggest items to come out of the Nintendo event at E3 was something I didn’t cover yesterday. That is, of course, all things Zelda with both Hyrule Warriors and the all new, open world, The Legend of Zelda being shown off. What else do you need to know?

I’ve always found E3 to be a peculiar beast and I still question it’s relevance given the internet’s always on, always now capabilities, but I guess you’ve got to give the PR guys ‘n’ gals a day out occasionally. That said, there were a few titles that immediately piqued my interest. Check them out after the break.

We might not be over in Los Angeles enjoying the E3 high-life, meeting and greeting or playing millions of unreleased games…instead we are here at Reticule Towers deciding to occasionally throw out a morsel of E3 goodness to our baying masses whenever we find something worth talking about. Or we are simply going to embed a bunch of trailers of games we find interesting before sharing some thoughts towards the end of the week.

Hopefully that explains what this is, so hit the jump for some Nintendo goodies.

Non-E3 News – First Developer Diary for Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms

Non-E3 News – First Developer Diary for Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms

As far as I am aware, this new media didn’t emanate from E3, which is a potentially dangerous tactic at this time of the year when you aren’t either teasing DOOM or plucky indie developer Mike Bithell.

The brave decision to release a developer diary today was taken by Games Farm for upcoming Early Access title Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms which has a touch of Diablo about it. Introductory trailer and the aforementioned developer diary can be found after this little jump…

Volume Developer Throws E3 Down Time Into Chaos With New Live Action Trailer

Mike Bithell, developer of indie title Volume has thrown the traditional pre-E3 lull into turmoil by releasing a new live action viral trailer…on a Sunday! Turning his back traditional PR practice, Mike has released the new trailer in the middle of a lazy Sunday afternoon and in a Tweet, he has declared it an experiment to see whether it will gain any attention. Fortunately, this intrepid reporter was at the heart of the story by checking his Twitter feed between cleaning the bathroom and making an emergency cake trip to Greggs.

The Indie Gaming Roundup – Northern Shadow, Prison Architect and More

While everyone is off busy playing their high faluting Watch_Dogs and Mario Kart 8, I would like to take a moment to bring people back down a notch to take stock of what is happening in the indie world. I’ve gone back and forth this past week wondering whether to feature the decidedly creepy looking Tangiers or CHIKARA wrestling inspired Rudo Resurrection but I took the decision to feature four other games. Read on, if you dare….
