UPCOMING VIDEO GAMES (2015 & Beyond)

[Jiji]

If anyone was still trying to decide about that Friday the 13th Kickstarter - they need about $13K to reach their goal in the next 3 days.

Yeah, after the initial wave of funding, it's been slow going ever since. I signed up for the $50 option and won't be upgrading.

Will i be the only person playing tomb raider while everyone else plays fallout?

I'll be playing Dust: An Elysian Tale. Just started that and like it enough to try and maybe finish it.

[RIPPA]

I'm 99% sure I will be getting Tomb Raider for Christmas so that's when I will play it

At the pace i play games, i will prob still be playing it then.

I look forward to playing Tomb Raider when it finally hits PS at some point in the distant future

Huh, they reached $700k and the night isn't even over.

Ditto.

When I posted - my number was accurate. They did a Twitch of the NES Friday the 13th game - Kane Hodder was supposed to be there but had to bail so he was replaced by Adam Sessler.

 

I am assuming that event was what put them over the top. (Looking at the twitter time line - they got funded about 2 hours into the live stream)

[Tromatagon]

Adam Sessler is probably the least Kane Hodder like person you could get as a replacement

[Zimbra]

Did anyone ever mention that Disgaea is coming to PC?  Because Disgaea is coming to PC.

What about that bullshit where new Deus Ex got delayed 'til next August?  Here I was figuring I'd almost have Fallout beaten by February and then slip right into Deus Ex.  Now there's only Xcom 2 and whenever that new Tomb Raider comes out on computer and I still haven't even played this fucking Metal Gear 5 shit and Just Cause 3 comes out in a few weeks and That Mad Max game will be getting cheap soon as well as that new Transformers game and I just got that new assassins creed game for free with an SSD on newegg and I never beat Arkham city and I never beat Dark Souls and never even Played Bloodborne or Endless Legend and I never played Fez or Invisible Inc and I still haven't beat Kingdoms of Amalur and I never beat the story mode on that Mortal Kombat 9 game and I never beat Pillars of Eternity and I wanna rebeat Resident Evil 4 on PC and I didn't play this new Strider game or Talos Principle or Toki Tori 2 or Transistor and that new Wolfenstein game is hard as fuck and I wanna beat that Warhammer Space Marine game.  In the words of the great bard DLR "Gimme a 72 hour day and we'll play catch up."

 

I'd also like a bottle of anything and a glazed donut.

Date and full track list out for Amplitude. Can't easily c+p at work for the songs (most of which are new for the game and made by Harmonie employees anyway), but the game drops 12/23 for backers and 1/5 for people not suckered in.

Ni No Kuni 2 has been announced!

While I'm super-stoked that this has been announced, I can't help but think that this looks entirely uninspired in terms of the story. The original had a terrific concept and base story. This one...doesn't appear to do that. Still, I can't wait to see and hear more about this.

[Tabe]

And then there's...this:

[Chaos]

I posted this in the Final Fantasy Thread, but I might as well do it here as well.

Uncharted 4 continues to be its own special brand of wacky as the latest controversy is that they have a white actor voicing a black character

 

I mean... I guess... it's not Nathan Fillion playing an Asian character. Right Jade Empire....

Honest question, does that seriously bother people?

[Andrew POE!]

Honest question, does that seriously bother people?

 

To me, it shouldn't. I'm sure there are good black women voice actors out there (don't say Aisha Tyler) that would have done well with the part. Heck, the girl voicing Riley could have worked too.

 

But for whatever reason, Naughty Dog cast a part for Laura Bailey. If they got Jennifer Hale to voice a character, they would had almost every major voice actor/actress in the last 10 years.

I dont think too many people were complaing when Phil LaMarr (a black man) voiced Vamp (a white Romanian guy) in the Metal Gear Solid series

 

Now the problem is the character looks like Kandyse McClure from Battlestar Galactica, which may have meant they wanted to have her in the game but couldn't afford her.

You get the outrage is as much about giving those actors opportunities as it is cultural misrepresentation, right?

Talk about a last minute Christmas grab

Minecraft coming to the Wii U on Dec 17

[Shane]

My niece will be thrilled to hear that. Of course, she's gearing up to unleash what I'm sure will be magnificent Mario levels, so maybe the Minecraft phase has passed.

Or a Japanese samurai who goes by the nickname of Jack.  

[Andrew POE!]

For you JRPG fans (all three of you), Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel comes out to PS3/Vita on December 22nd.

[Death From Above]

Resident Evil 0 Remaster is available for pre-purchase on Steam, releases on the 19th of January. Great game. Creeped the fuck out of me in the GameCube days.
