There are many exciting racers in varying stages of development at the moment, be they Project CARS or Assetto Corsa. These crowd-funded racers that are still being developed are going to face some serious competition soon when Codemasters throw their hat in the ring once again as GRID is set to return this June.
The team behind Euro Truck Simulator 2 have been busy recently working on update 1.9 and some new Mercedes trucks. More enticingly, they have been working quietly on American Truck Simulator and this weekend revealed a few early images from the game.
If you want to go to just one place to find embedded videos for all of the latest games, then you’ve found the right place as this evening, I bring videos for Wolfenstein, Watch Dogs and more! What are you waiting for? Hit the break to check out some new(ish) videos with differing levels of editorialisation.
Back from rehabilitation, Gaming Crowdfunding Weekly cleans up its act and gets back to what really matters: underfunded puzzle platformers like Kodama, collectible miniatures making the transition to video games with Prodigy, fart-propelled naked spacemen in Cosmochoria and “Skyrim with bears” in Bear Simulator.
I don’t know where the time has got to this week, it is already Friday and I realise that I’ve entirely neglected to write about some fairly cool indie game news that has appeared in the past few days. This isn’t quite a Crowdfunding Weekly, even though one game has just landed itself on Kickstarter, rather a just a quick rundown on a handful of indie games of all flavours. Hit the break for word on Death in Candlewood, Warside and Divinity: Original Sin.
With so many indie developers and so much opportunity these days to fund your project in various ways, it’s important to stick out amongst the crowd, have some individuality and above all provide a pitch that shows quality and professionalism, so for this weeks pick I have been looking for just that. Admittedly I have already been following three of these games through development but the others show just as much promise.
That’s right ladies and gentlemen, the 2014 Trailer of the Year award has been issued early this year. You can all pack up and stop making trailers for the rest of the year because quite frankly there is absolutely no way anyone can top Coffee Stain Studios’ beautiful, evocative riff on 2011’s Dead Island trailer.
This past week has seen GDC come and go with heaps of information that I have probably missed entirely. Well there was that Ubisoft media field day which revealed the new Assassin’s Creed title. The French Revolution could be quite tasty, lets hope that Ubisoft haven’t been resting on their laurels after Black Flag. Elsewhere, there is word that Nintendo have 50 titles coming to the Wii U thanks to the Unity engine. In a more moder-gen focus, Sony revealed their VR effort of which Eurogamer has a nice tech analysis.
Once you’ve had your fill of GDC, hit the break for Our Week in Games.
Steph is a bit busy this week, so I have bravely stepped into her shoes to bring you this weeks edition of Gaming Crowdfunding Weekly. I might not actually be stepping in Steph’s shoes if I am honest, this week I’m going to highlight a few games which aren’t actually coming through the Crowdfunding channels. I bet Steph won’t be best pleased when she sees what I’ve done with her column! Hit the break to see some media and hastily written words about Cloud Chamber, Men of War and Concursion.
The past couple of days has seen a massive media splurge from Ubisoft with new newness for Watch Dogs and a sneak peak look at the new Assassin’s Creed title which will be known as Unity set during the French Revolution. Hit the break to check out the videos.
