This is a PS-Demand post... but if you're a Nintendo fan, you will be happy to
know that you are not left out of this triple line-up of games Xseed is preparing to launch
this year. For anyone wondering what Shantae is doing in this lineup, Shantae 1/2 Genie Hero specifically... is being released for WayForward on the retail front by Xseed. Our first hand experience with Shantae Half-Genie Hero... during last E3, was absolutely beautiful and we
can't wait to dive into the full blown adventure. Gameplay video added in for good measure!
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero
In the magical world of Sequin Land livesShantae, a spirited young half-genie. She has dedicated her life to defending her home of Scuttle Town from evil in all forms, and has been called upon again as pirates attack!
Using her trademark Hair-Whip Attack and special ability to transform herself into various kinds of creatures by way of magical belly-dancing, she must fight her way through steamy jungles, ancient ruins, and stormy deserts to topple the villainous Barons behind each criminal caper, preparing for the ultimate showdown against her arch-nemesis: the bodacious buccaneer, Risky Boots!
After three successful outings, Shantae is ready to embark on her first full HD adventure in Shantae: Half-Genie Hero for PS4™, "PSVita", and Wii U. Vibrant, high-definition sprites complement the excellent action-packed exploration and platforming the series is known for. As Shantae masters her transformative powers, old stages can be explored again to unearth new items and secrets, ensuring there's plenty of content for casual players and platforming gurus alike!
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero will be published physically on all three announced platforms this fall in a special "Risky Beats" retail release packaged with a musical selections CD containing over 20 songs from the game's soundtrack, with each offered at a suggested retail price of $29.99.
Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity
Immortality can be boring. At 500 years old, the so-called "Scarlet Devil," Remilia Scarlet, is desperately searching for something new to end the monotony.
After stumbling upon a newspaper article about a powerful, mysterious monster terrorizing the countryside, she rushes out to see if this could finally be the excitement for which she yearns. Unfortunately, not only is she unsuccessful in her search for the monster, but she returns to find her manor in ruins. It would seem the monster has come to her! With a renewed sense of determination (and a much-needed respite from her boredom), she vows to take revenge on this fiend and make it pay!
Set in the ever-evolving Touhou Project universe, the fan-created Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity trades in the series' top-down "bullet hell" roots for an action RPG approach, drawing inspiration from series such as Ys while still retaining a distinctly indie feel. Players take the role of the titular vampire, Remilia Scarlet, or her devoted maid, Sakuya Izayoi, as they explore a wide variety of environments and battle aggressive creatures. Fast-paced combat and the series' trademark complex patterns and waves of projectiles will keep players on their toes as they fight to retake Scarlet's manor!
Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity will be published digitally on the PlayStation®Store for PS4™ later this fall. More information will be provided in the coming months.
Exile's End
In the distant future, mega-corporation Ravenwood exists more as an interplanetary government than a company, controlling commerce and manipulating the economy with its own private army.
So when its president's son goes missing on a remote mining planet and all contact is lost, the company quickly dispatches a team of mercenaries to investigate. Immediately upon their arrival in orbit, however, the team's ship experiences an electrical failure and careens toward the surface. Numerous soldiers eject from the crashing ship via escape pods, but only one seems to make landfall relatively unscathed: an old, embittered private named Jameson. In his efforts to restore communications on the planet, he ends up discovering the remains of the mining colony and learns a truth far more sinister than he ever could have imagined...
A dark and futuristic 2D sidescroller offering adventure-style puzzles, exploration-driven platforming, and dangerous extraterrestrials, Exile's End is part Metroidvania and part "cinematic platformer," drawing heavy inspiration from classics of the genre like Out of This World and Flashback: The Quest for Identity. Boasting uniquely stylized animated cutscenes, multiple endings, and an atmospheric soundtrack by Keiji Yamagishi of Ninja Gaiden and Tecmo Super Bowl fame, players who take up Jameson's mantle will find themselves investigating a massive, interconnected alien world as they solve the mysteries of a dark, underground complex and experience a story filled with ancient riddles and modern-day hubris. Backed by Japanese publisher Marvelous Inc., Exile's End is a collaboration between Tokyo-based indie game developer Matt Fielding and many talented local industry veterans, and a partial remake of Fielding's first game, Inescapable, that significantly expands on its general ideas and themes.
Exile's End will be published digitally on the PlayStation®Store for PS4™ and "PSVita" as well as on the Nintendo eShop for Wii U™ later this summer. More information will be provided in the coming months.
Here is video E3 2015 action from an earlier build of the Shantae Half-Genie Hero game.
Oh yeah... a new Elusive Target has popped up. Your mission is simple, take him out, but... it's not going to be as simple as it sounds. Get in, remain undetected, complete the mission and get out of there. Good luck... RkRk, out! :p
The last target got away from me, but I take full responsibility. I disguised myself as a floral deliveryman and... it was looking great, made my way to the gate of the location and I thought it was going to be smooth sailing. Then... what had happened was... I forgot to drop my gun and other weapons, so they were like... still on me. So long story short, I received a pat down at the door, they found my weapons... I tried to fight my way into the property past the security outside but once I got up to the massive house, it was like an unpaid electric bill (lights out)!

Midnight approaches... and you know what that means? No? The new Just Cause 3 DLC adventure... that's what. It's not exactly available for everyone at midnight, but if you're a season pass holder... its mech time! Check out the information below... from the source (and game on)!
INCLUDES 2 PILOTABLE MECHS, NEW MISSIONS, CHALLENGES & MORE
JUST CAUSE 3: MECH LAND ASSAULT, the second content pack from the Air, Land and Sea Expansion Pass will be on sale June 3 for Expansion Pass Holders, with a wider release to follow on June 10.
MECH LAND ASSAULT takes Rico Rodriguez to the new island of Lacrima, home to an abandoned eDen research base and a prison camp run by the mysterious Black Hand. Defended by huge powerful Mechs, Rico will need the new Bavarium Power Core rifle to disable their shields and hijack them. Once inside, Rico can use their powerful cannons and the GRIP Gravity Guns to hurl and smash the enemy into pieces.
Features
Pilot two types of powerful Mech and drive them anywhere in Medici.
Unleash the Mech’s Gravitational Remote Influence Projector or “GRIP” to attract and hurl objects at your enemies.
Jump and smash helicopters from the sky or ground pound tanks with the GRIPS’s “Force Pulse” attack.
Prove your skills and earn upgrades in Mech arena challenges.
Call in a Rebel Mech buddy for extra firepower when the going gets tough.
Includes a powerful new energy weapon, the Bavarium Power Core rifle.
The Bavarium Wingsuit from the Sky Fortress DLC fundamentally changed how Rico could traverse Medici. This time, we wanted to shake up how Rico interacts with his environment in a similar way,” explained Tobias Andersson, Senior Producer at Avalanche Studios. “The new Mechs allow Rico to throw enemies, vehicles and chaos objects around like tennis balls – increasing the scope for physics-based fun. Whether you’re juggling a small car or punching helicopters out of the sky, the Mechs give you the opportunity to mess with your surroundings in creative, explosive ways.”
The MECH LAND ASSAULT pack is priced at $11.99/€11.99/£9.49 whilst the AIR, LAND & SEA Expansion Pass is available for $24.99/€24.99/£19.99. The final content pack – BAVARIUM SEA HEIST – will be released by the end of summer 2016, released one week early to Expansion Pass holders.
Before I get to the first bit of action, I just want to say that I have replaced Blu's... delicious fruit snacks with a huge box and have purchased my own! :p (NOM NOM NOM!) We have our icons ready to roll too.
Did you see the Intergalactic Super Gamer shirts? Those are by gamers (obviously) for gamers and... they are exclusive to the SDGTSHOP! So get a tee & keep it G (I think something cool is going to be popping off with ISG... so we shall see)! The shirt and product colors can be changed to tickle your fancy (and of course the colors you see here represent SDGT!).
E3 is literally this month! I just want to see a bunch of... awesome, I have no expectations (though it would've been super fantastic to see Nintendo NX but...). Speaking of Nintendo, they will be showing other things in addition to The Legend of Zelda.

Roll Throughout Art History in Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder
ACE Team, ATLUS (the game publisher), and Atlas (the Greek god) present the sequel to the hit strategic, rock-smashing, tower defense game!
IRVINE, Calif - June 2, 2016 - It's so gneiss to see you again! The genre-bending Rock of Ages - the part Tower Defense, part Racing, part Art History lesson, and all smashing game from ACE Team - returns with new gameplay, co-op and competitive modes, and more in Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder, coming this fall to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One as a digital title. In the game, players will explore the uniquely artistic worlds, and take turns in defensive and offensive roles in an attempt to smash open the enemy's castle and crush their dreams of ruling the world (by crushing their corporeal form). For the latest information on the game, you can roll on over to find the latest carvings on the official webstone at www.rockofages2.com
In Bigger and Boulder, Atlas, the Greek God of holding up really heavy things, needs some help recovering the celestial sphere that he might have misplaced. And he definitely needs your help, because all the rulers throughout historical eras are getting in his way; there's no time to gather moss - start smashing down gates! The conquerors in the game are each representative of their different periods of Art History, from Early Renaissance to Late Gothic, and are presented in the series' quirky, Pythonesque, cut-out animation style.
One of the major changes to the gameplay in Rock of Ages II is the emphasis on co-op and competitive play, where up to four players can strategically plan their victory by way of merciless destruction via boulder! There's also been a complete revamp of how resources are accrued in the game, so players will not just have to defend their own castles, but resource nodes as well!
Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder features include:
Up to 4-person Multiplayer - A little friendly competition never hurt anyone, so that's why ACE Team decided to up the gate-smashing stakes by beefing up the multiplayer features of the game. Play with up to four players online in a 2v2 match to the crushing death with the ability to customize banners and colors for your "units." Plus, the tracks now intersect, so you can knock the enemy rocks to get an advantage!
Utter Chaos - Expanding on the first game with a more diverse selection of units and a larger focus on rock-smashing strategy inBigger and Boulder, chaos reigns supreme! Just don't take each turn for granite!
Improved Physics and Destructible Environments - Developed in Unreal Engine 4, Rock of Ages II has upgraded physics and even more things to be cracked, crushed, flattened, and slammed. It's the most fun you can have rolling rocks down a big hill!
ACE Team's Trademark Quirkiness - With humor is turned up to 11, players will literally rock and roll through the ages. Famous historical figures beware!
Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder will roll into digital stores this fall for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One! The best part? Go hands-on with Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder in the ATLUS booth at E3! The game is not yet rated by the ESRB, with pricing details to come later. but check out the latest info carved into the Bigger and Boulder official webstone www.rockofages2.com or the ACE Team Steam Community www.steamcommunity.com/groups/aceteam

There are Cyborgs in the Pyramid – Go Get ‘Em in the New Warface Special Operation, Anubis
Blow up a sub, neutralize a missile base, and destroy a secret cyborg factory in the latest Special Operation to launch on Crytek’s free online shooter
Crytek is taking Warface gamers to fictional east Africa.
Frankfurt am Main (Germany) June 2, 2016 – A futuristic threat is buried within an ancient pyramid in Anubis, the expansive new Special Operation coming to Crytek’s free-to-play online shooter, Warface, today.
Anubis – named after the god of death himself – is an epic three stage co-op mission set in Eastern Africa, where players must battle hard, smart, and as a team. Gamers must work through a network of bases, culminating in an assault on a pyramid, to disrupt Blackwood’s villainous operations.
The action comes thick and fast from the moment the team is inserted into the landing zone, where enemies are at the gate of a missile facility. After infiltrating the complex and disabling the control room, defended by deadly automatic turrets, players must repel assaults from all sides as they battle through a canyon to reach a heavily fortified dry dock. Then it’s time to blow up a Blackwood submarine. Once this objective is completed, players take the fight to the heart of Anubis’ pyramid which houses a clandestine cyborg factory. Gamers must disable the facility and then survive waves of relentless attacks as a sandstorm engulfs the battlefield before extraction.
The new Special Operation’s three diverse stages require players to combine the strengths of the game’s four different classes to take on and eliminate a wide range of enemies. Gamers must adapt their tactics for each stage, from clearing out buildings at close-quarters to holding a defensive line in the face of marauding cyborgs, if they are to complete this action-packed new mission.
Anubis is the latest co-op Special Operation to launch for Warface. New maps, missions, weapons, items, weapon skins, and challenges are regularly added to the game as Warface evolves to serve its ever-growing community.
Watch the new trailer for Special Operation Anubis now at www.youtube.com/warfacegameand sign up to play Warface for free at www.warface.com.
COPENHAGEN, May 31, 2016 - Io-Interactive is happy to announce the launch of HITMAN Episode 3: Marrakesh today.
The featured mission, ‘A Gilded Cage’, sees Agent 47 travel to the busy market city of Marrakesh to target corrupt private banker Claus Strandberg and his accomplice Army General Reza Zaydan before the city of contrasts collapses into a riot.
“Marrakesh marries the concepts of the first two offerings of HITMAN – Paris and Sapienza,” said Hannes Seifert, Studio Head at Io-Interactive. “We have the fortressed, at times claustrophobic, nature of the Showstopper event in Paris combined with the expansiveness and lived-in feeling of Sapienza all in one. I think Marrakesh is really going to give players a lot to explore and experiment with.”
Marrakesh offers a richly detailed, dense creative stealth sandbox featuring two targets, a host of opportunities and challenges to explore and a living environment that transports you from crowded markets to magical souks, from the cool elegance of the Swedish consulate to the military-occupied remains of an abandoned school. Infiltrate a consulate under siege to kill a man everyone hates and take out the army general that freed him from his prison shackles in Episode 3 of HITMAN.
Check out the trailer below!
HITMAN started with a Prologue and the Paris location in March. Episode 2: Sapienza released in April and now Episode 3: Marrakesh has arrived in May. HITMAN will continue to deliver regular content updates, including three additional locations; Thailand, the United States and the season finale in Japan later in 2016. The game also recently launched the new “Elusive Targets” feature, with two targets encountered by players so far...Marrakesh is sure to hide more.
Marrakesh is FREE as part of the Full Experience Pack. Owners of the Intro Pack can choose either the Upgrade Pack for $50, which will then include all of this year’s content as it’s released including live and bonus content – or choose to purchase the location individually for $10 (or local equivalent).
HITMAN is available on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, and Windows PC.
