Description

Rockay City. A thriving metropolis with excitement buzzing from the sandy bay to the towering skyscrapers. But beyond the glamour, there is a fierce turf war raging on… After the demise of the previous crime boss, there’s an open vacancy for a new King of Rockay City – but it isn’t just you who is fighting for the throne. Choose your crew based on their skills and expertise, and execute daring missions with the hopes of walking away with the cash, the turf and, ultimately, the crown. Make Sure You’re Connected Rockay City doesn’t just look and feel like the 90s, you’ll find a few familiar faces there too. From the charismatic Travis Baker (Michael Madsen) and his team of planners and handlers (Michael Rooker, Kim Basinger, Danny Glover and Damion Poitier), to rival gang bosses (Danny Trejo and Vanilla Ice) and the righteous Sheriff Norris (Chuck Norris): it’s not what you know, but who you know.

Geoff Keighley to bring In-Person Summer Game Fest in June 2023! Is E3 doomed?

The digital event industry is shifting to a hybrid model next year with more focus on in-person experiences.

With the end of this year's Summer Game Fest, organizer and host Geoff Keighley announced that their next event will go head hunting in June 2023.

The next Summer Game Fest will be both digital and in-person “to bring the gaming community together,” said Keighley.

This year, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) president and CEO Stan Pierre-Louis announced that they are bringing back E3 as a physical and digital event next year. There is no specific date yet but it will be held in June 2023.

Summer Game Fest is an annual event that began in 2020, replacing E3 after the spread of coronavirus led to its cancellation. It followed Keighley dropping out as the host of the annual event.

The events ran side by side last year, but this summer, Keighley had free rein after the ESA's decision to cancel E3 again as an in-person and online event.

This year's Summer Game Fest highlighted almost 40 different video games, including new reveals like Flashback 2 and Goat Simulator 3. The Last Of Us Remake which is still a rumor, also had a surprise appearance during the event. Will E3 be able to recover, or will Keighley flood the zone with a plan to replace the sleeping giant?

I'm sure Geoff is thinking of profit, but there is plenty of love to go around as far as game events go. E3 can open the door for new announcers and a new lane as far as E3 goes. They have plenty of time to make it happen... if they're willing. - Blu

Shady Part Of Me... Reviewed!

Shout out to Focus Home Interactive for supplying a copy of this game for a review!

Shady Part of Me, is an interesting little indie game that pairs a shy little girl with her shadow to cooperate and overcome challenges in a surreal narrative puzzle adventure voiced by Hannah Murray (Game of Thrones, and Skins).

Story: Shady Part of Me, is a game based on a little girl who doesn't just live in her shadow, she's completely disconnected from it. It's so bad that her shadow is like a complete stranger, which is understandable when she's frightened by the light (which represents a number of things for her... as seen in the gameplay below). Believe it or not, the story is also told through the environment... so I won't go into great detail about this in order to keep the review spoiler-free, but I appreciate them using the world to also tell the story.

Gameplay: The game is based on the protagonist being an introvert, and her fear of the light/fear of being seen. It makes for some interesting gameplay that combines 2D + 3D gameplay. I think the combination does the game justice because you have to use the 3D navigation to set things up for her shadow's platforms, and her shadow does the same for her as far as shadows are concerned... so it's a team effort (her shadow needs light, the little girl needs the shadows).

I like the way the 2D + 3D work together, but I also appreciate those sections where you don't need the little girl or her shadow in order for each to progress to the end of that particular area. It's a nice break that prevents you from getting tired of the teamwork so that you can enjoy some platforming action before switching back to dodging the light.

You also get some replay value tucked in here as well, and this comes in the form of these little origami birds you can find in the environment. There are 98 of these little birds in total... which increases the challenge.

Visuals: The visuals for this game... come in the form of a cel-shaded watercolor combination. On the 2D side... I'm reminded of Super Mario Odyssey where you're taking on platforming challenges via the walls and floors (it's nice). It's more than just that though, they inserted some awesome visuals in the game that will take a section and completely transform it visually as you progress, taking it from the surreal dreamscape (of the little girl's imagination) to the real world. I think that's awesomely accurate.

If I could give the game a con, it would be how easy the game is in some areas. Maybe the focus was the narrative to pull you in before increasing the challenges, but some were too much of a cakewalk for me. I could give a strike against the playtime being on the shorter side, but I won't... since I'm sort of familiar with narrative-based games usually having their set lengths to tell their story.

Price: Pricewise... Shady Part of Me comes in at $14.99, which I think is actually spot-on (even if  $19.99 would've been an okay launch price).

SABER INTERACTIVE REVEALS NEW GAME BASED ON 
PARAMOUNT PICTURES’ WORLD WAR Z, IN DEVELOPMENT FOR PLAYSTATION®4, XBOX ONE AND WINDOWS PC

MAPLEWOOD, N.J. – December 7, 2017 – Independent developer Saber Interactive has announced World War Z, a new four-player cooperative game inspired by Paramount Pictures’ blockbuster film franchise.  Featuring massive swarms of zombies who rush their living prey, World War Z is in production for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One, and Windows PC.

“World War Z is a name synonymous with heart-pounding fear and action, and we’re excited to finally capture that energy in a fast-paced and gruesome experience crafted specifically for modern consoles and PC,” said Saber Interactive CEO Matt Karch.

World War Z’s co-op campaign focuses on unique survivor stories and missions around the globe, including New York, Moscow, and Jerusalem. Use traps, barriers and the environment strategically to stay alive while unleashing a storm of firepower with a variety of weapons on the unrelenting hordes of the undead.

"Saber has tons of experience working on high-quality games and they've done a great job capturing the massive, frantic hordes of 'zekes' that sets our franchise apart,” said Bil Bertini, Executive Vice President of Worldwide Licensing for Paramount Pictures.  “They have created a fiercely original experience in the rich universe of World War Z that fans are sure to love.” 

World War Z is expected to release in 2018.
