Dishonored promises to be a crazy combination of BioShock, Deus Ex, Thief and Assassin’s Creed

You know what, Arkane Studios is a really talented studio. Although both Arx Fatalis and the mind-blowing FPS/action RPG hybrid, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, didn’t meet a commercial success, they were among the best action FPS games of their times. And naturally, their upcoming FPS called ‘Dishonored’ looks even more interesting than both of those two aforementioned titles. In a recent video interview with Gamespot, Arkane’s co-creative directos Raphael Colantonio and Harvey Smith revealed some interesting new details about it.

Anna is the ‘Amnesia: The Dark Descent’ of 2012; first gameplay footage revealed

Dreampainters sent us word about the first gameplay trailer of their upcoming adventure game, Anna. After watching the trailer, I have to note that Anna looks heavily inspired by Frictional Games’ masterpiece, Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Which is a good thing, mind you. In fact, Anna could be the Amnesia of 2012. Well, that is if Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs doesn’t hit its 2012 release date. Still, we have to congratulate the indie team of Dreampainters for their work. Anna is atmospheric as hell, is good looking (even though the footage from the trailer is WIP), stays true to the adventure spirit, and looks really interesting. Enjoy the trailer after the jump! Continue reading Anna is the ‘Amnesia: The Dark Descent’ of 2012; first gameplay footage revealed

Baldur’s Gate website slightly updated, Atari has given the green light to this new project

A new Baldur’s Gate website went live a couple of weeks ago, suggesting that a new Baldur’s Gate game would be coming. Although there is nothing certain at this point, the website’s source code was updated a couple of days ago with some new quotes. Questions abound and no answers can be found as of yet. Are those new quotes addressed to the game’s fans or BioWare for abandoning the Baldur’s Gate franchise? Did BioWare want to ‘kill’ the franchise? Continue reading Baldur’s Gate website slightly updated, Atari has given the green light to this new project

John Romero is working on a new FPS game; will it make us his bitch?

There is no denying that John Romero was talented back in the days. There is also no doubt that Daikatana flopped and couldn’t live up to its hype. Oh, and it didn’t make us his bitch after all. But fear not Doom and old-scool fans, as John Romero is about to return. iD Software’s former employee has tweeted that he’s currently working on an old-school FPS title. Before jumping to early conclusions, the answer is no; this upcoming FPS title is not Daikatana 2. Continue reading John Romero is working on a new FPS game; will it make us his bitch?

New Humble Indie Pack spotted in Steam’s registry

A new Humble Indie Pack has appeared on Steam’s registry, suggesting that a new pack is already on its way. The interesting part here is that Steam’s registry has not listed any games for it as of yet. Did Valve intentionally hide the list as there were a lot of leaks due to Steam’s registry? Perhaps. In the past, it took Humble Indie Pack a few weeks to get released after being spotted in Steam’s registry, so we can expect to see this new indie pack in the following weeks.
