If you were concerned about the Shadow Warrior reboot toning down the racism, hey, chin up you silly sausage: it still cracks jokes about how the hero's surname is Wang. 2 (two) such jokes feature in a new trailer fresh out of Gamescom, which also reveals the FPS will arrive on September 26.
Yes, yes we're very quaint here in England. Top hats, monocles, all of that, everywhere (or in trendy East London where I live, anyway). Continuing the stereotype we titter at knowing the world believes, Mediatonic is bringing gentlemanly side-scrolling fighting to PC and Xbox 360 with Foul Play on September 18.
What if you want to kick alien rumps and oogle pixelated breasts but you're on the bus? Well, you could play the iOS or Nokia N900 edition of Duke Nukem 3D, but what if you want actual buttons to press? The King's coming to Vita in DN3D's shiny Megaton Edition form, publisher Devolver Digital has teased.
It's Sunday, which makes it a perfect time to watch some footage of mass murder. It's Hotline Miami 2, folks.
"The thing is," I waffle on at the party, a pint mug of gin in one hand, "Hotline Miami criticises grotesque video game violence whilst forcing us to accept we do actually revel in it." Your eyes dart to the door but I've cornered you by the fridge. "That's very interesting," you say, "But I only have a PlayStation." Ha! You are caught. The PS3 and Vita editions will launch next week, priced at a very reasonable $9.99.
Dennaton Games is ready to say goodbye to the Hotline Miami series, showing off a closed-door demo of Hotline Miami 2 at E3.
An E3 closed-door demo of Shadow Warrior shows off how Flying Wild Hog stays true to the spirit of the original title, while simultaneously updating it for a modern audience.
If you're not a PC gamer of advanced years, the fuss about the new Shadow Warrior may be a mystery to you. To get newcomers all jazzed up about it and, ah, motivated by an unfortunate security hole, publisher Devolver Digital is giving away 3D Realms' original 1997 FPS for free forever on Steam.
Devolver Digital's Nigel Lowrie and Flying Wild Hog's Jan Bartkowicz talk about their plans to update Shadow Warrior and frontman Lo Wang for a 2013 audience.
The announcement of Shadow Warrior was a pretty low-key affair, really just a teaser site and a short blurb. Today's the big day Hard Reset developer Flying Wild Hog and publisher Devolver Digital finally lifted the wraps off their "total reimagining" of 3D Realms' classic FPS of the same name and, well, they don't reveal much but it's certainly looking pretty.
