This week in games: Amazon reveals 3 games at TwitchCon, Steam Controller skins appear - alvaradomighose

Ah, Sept 30. I'd say a touch of autumn is in the aviation, but Here in San Francisco…well, we don't experience seasons. I can only try when it's fall by seeing how many games are releasing.

Therein case, definitely fall.

This week: A bunch o' trailers for October's games harvest, Amazon announces its first big-budget games, Bulletstorm power gather a remaster (and a improved PC port), and Devolver hunted down Stan Bush to record a song as powerful as "The Soupco." This is gaming news for September 26 through 30.

Things that move on boom in the night

In case you hadn't detected: IT's October, and that means it's "EA Torpedo Month" in the world of video games. Battlefield is coming on October 21 and it's got a brand-new singleplayer fight video:

So does Titanfall 2! That's a piece Sir Thomas More intriguing, given that the first iteration didn't have a "real" singleplayer campaign and thus I have no idea what to even anticipate from it. Though I'm ease wary of the fact EA is launch it October 28—in between Field and Call forth of Duty. It's either stunningly confident or stunningly soft-witted. Jump to the three minute mark of this YouTube Gaming video to skip the talk heads and dumbfound into the fulfi bits.

Steam Design Lab

Microsoft isn't the only one that gets to do custom controllers. Valve is selling Steam Controller skins now, as well as some accessories (a carrying case, spare dongles, et cetera). Ten bucks a popular ain't atrocious for an Aperture-themed controller skin, though who knows how well this clobber holds up long-term in your sweaty palms.

Shapely for Twitch

Commend way back when Amazon started snatching ahead a bunch of big-name game developers? Clinkt Hocking, Kim Fleet—suddenly they were all going to work for Amazon.

Cured, Amazon finally showed murder its lineup of projects this workweek at TwitchCon. There's Breakaway, a 4-on-4 combat/sports game; Melting pot (pictured at the top of this pageboy), which is a 12-person shooter gamy that sounds like hybrid cooperative/player-versus-player; and then New World, extraordinary sort of MMO sandpile kick in Colonial-era America. Insure proscribed the archived presentation, if you're interested.

Like a good neighbor

What if you lived in the adjacent house to a serial killer? That's basically the precede of Hello Neighbor, as far as I can tell—a stealth-horror gamey where you try to work what's in your neighbour's basement while he, in turn, tries to killing you.

Let's try it again

Quantum Break is one of my favored games of the year, at to the lowest degree if you look past the fluky commonwealth of the Windows 10 port in April. Worth noting then that information technology hit Steam this week, and reviews of that variation are quite a bit much positivistic than the Windows Store version. Peradventur give it a try? Hither's a brand new trailer, if you need refreshing:

Sailing the skies

Last calendar week, Failbetter teased a sequel to its hit Sunless Seas. This calendar week, we've got a distinguish: Sunless Skies. Here's the quick and dirty:

"The Victorian Empire in space—the High Wilderness—a "blistering, extraordinary night" among the thrones and domains of the stars. The Empress has abandoned Greater London and light-emitting diode an Book of Exodus to the Towering Wild, to carve out a new British Empire. With the Empire being increasingly authoritarian, bohemians, revolutionaries and outcasts—care you—are nerve-wracking to make a lifetime for themselves connected its fringes."

Hearsay

Couple of rumors this week that are worth rehashing. Foremost dormie is Fate 2, which is "reported" to be coming to Personal computer, even though as immoderate as I know Bungie's press with Activision flat-out said that the second instalment would be coming to PC. Not so much of a rumor in this case merely…well, I underestimate we'll look.

Far more than interesting is Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition. According to PCGamesN information technology popped up along a South American country rating situation this week, implying thither's a remaster coming to PC in 2022. That's big news because the original Bulletstorm Personal computer porthole was terrible, and plays even worse on modern systems. And that's later on they stripped unsuccessful Games for Windows Live. Yeah, a new larboard would be welcome.

And then there was a rumor about Battleborn possibly sledding free-to-play. Gear case's Randy Pitchford struck that one down, but therein case…well, I guess they're just expiration to let Battleborn die, because people certainly aren't buying it.

Who assassinates the assassins?

Apparently all the jokes about "Ubisoft's Explicit-Global Formula" finally got to someone, or maybe it's Vivendi's hostile takeover moves. Regardless, something has happened in the house that Guillemot built, and the result: There might not be an Assassin's Creed in 2022 either. Or a Far Shout.

It was already scandalous for Assassin's Creed to take this year off (though they did passing two outgrowth games and are advent outgoing with a remaster of the Ezio era plus a flic). But two geezerhood without a mainline Assassin's Gospel? Crazy.

And the reason? Ubisoft's Tommy François told IGN:

"We believe Alpha for these games needs to represent same year in front release. We're trying to accomplish that. If this means biting the [bullet] and not having an Bravo's game, Beaver State a Far War cry [in 2022], $#^& it."

This is a real quote.

The Come to 2

The legendary Stan Inferior, he of "The Touch" fame, is back. Devolver apparently dug dormie his grave or followed a treasure correspondenc to his house or other equally-excited set of luck I'm sure, and the upshot is he recorded a new song for Shadow Warrior 2. I mean, they couldn't but use "The Touch" again, right? They had to do something.

Oh good I'm intoxicated about this game. Here's the song:
