Resident Evil 3: Nemesis Vinyl Pre-Order Now

London, 28th February 2020 – Laced Records and CAPCOM once again partner to bring fans Resident Evil™ soundtracks on audiophile-quality vinyl. Pre-orders are now open for the Resident Evil™ 3: Nemesis (aka Biohazard™ 3: Last Escape) double LP, featuring remastered audio from the original 1999 PlayStation game, and brand new vinyl sleeve artwork by Boris Moncel.

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis saw the series move in a more action-oriented direction, while retaining the fixed camera angles of the previous titles. It also introduced the world to Nemesis, a merciless walking bio-weapon who fixated on destroying Jill Valentine and any remaining S.T.A.R.S. members in Raccoon City. Composers Masami Ueda, Saori Maeda, and Shusaku Uchiyama chose a moody cinematic action sound for the score, whilst retaining the series’ woozy, synth-horror stylings.

The soundtrack has been remastered specifically for this release, and will be pressed onto audiophile-quality, 180g heavyweight vinyl LPs housed in a striking gatefold sleeve. It is available as a Standard Edition (traditional black discs) and Limited Edition (purple discs — exclusive to the Laced Records store.)

The Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (Original Soundtrack) double vinyl can be pre-ordered now via www.lacedrecords.com (www.lacedrecords.co outside of the USA) and will ship in April 2020.
Price: GBP £33 / USD $35

The vinyl set is only available in North America and EMEA (Europe, Middle-East, and Africa) territories

Romance of The Three Kingdoms XIV Launch Trailer

Burlingame, Calif. – February 28, 2020 – Today, KOEI TECMO America and famed developer Kou Shibusawa are proud to launch the latest entry in their renowned strategy franchise, Romance of The Three Kingdoms XIV (RTK14) on the PlayStation®4 Computer Entertainment System and digitally on Windows PC via Steam®.

In RTK14, players will experience the pivotal Three Kingdoms period of Ancient China, allowing them to make their mark on history as they set out to conquer China and unify the Three Kingdoms. The tale of the Three Kingdoms era is depicted through seven challenging scenarios, including the chaotic war that signaled the opening of the times (the Yellow Turban Rebellion), the fight for dominance between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao (the Battle of Guandu), and the beginning of Zhuge Liang’s northern campaign (Chu Shi Biao). These events will give gamers the opportunity to enjoy the rich stories from this time period through many event scenes, triggered through fulfilling certain conditions in battle. The latest entry in the series also adopts the popular ruler-based system from fan-favorite entries, RTK9 and RTK11, in order to help return classic gameplay to the series — meaning that all actions take place on a single map as players attempt to spread their strategies at will across the vast land of China.

Throughout the experience, players will have a wide arsenal of strategies to deploy at will, aiding them as they scramble for land and build up their domain. A multitude of different approaches are available in RTK14, covering Domestic, Diplomacy, Territory Development, and a large assortment of different ways to battle, with each playthrough of the game feeling like an all-new experience thanks to an enhanced AI system keeping them on their toes, not to mention, the selection of over 1,000 officers, each with their own traits and characteristics.

Those ready to jump into the action can purchase Romance of The Three Kingdoms XIV starting today on PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam. Purchasing any version of the game within the first 2 weeks of launch will offer a free download for the additional scenarios ‘Battle of Yiling’ and ‘The Start of Change’. Those purchasing on PC via Steam within the first week of launch will receive a 10% discount on their purchase!

A free demo is also available to enjoy until March 12, 2020 on Steam, allowing gamers to play as either the Cao Cao, Liu Bei, or Sun Jian faction through 36 turns (one year in game time). Fans who play through the trial won’t be able to transfer save data into the full version, and since the demo was based on an earlier, still in-development version of the game, the trial might have known bugs or errors that will be different from the final product.

OVERPASS Launch Trailer

Lesquin, France, February 27, 2020 – NACON and Zordix Racing are pleased to announce the release of Overpass, a technical off-road simulation in which you have to get past natural and artificial obstacles. Get behind the wheel of powerful all-terrain vehicles and see how you measure up on extreme courses on PC via the Epic Game Store. The PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch™ versions will be available on March 17, 2020 in North America.

This simulation provides players with several different, particularly hilly environments and terrains. It will take all of your cool-headed and careful driving skills just to reach the finish line. In Overpass, players can’t fly through the race by flooring it, but have to find the right speed so they can make their way through the course, get past the obstacles and avoid damaging their vehicles.

The specific technical aspects of each vehicle also have to be taken into account on each track: select the right vehicle from amongst 25 buggies and quads from major manufacturers (Arctic Cat, Yamaha, Polaris and Suzuki), and make sure you use the locking differential and switch from 2-wheel to 4-wheel drive at the right time. The game focuses on providing a unique challenge with innovative gameplay and meticulously-planned level design.

There are several game modes in Overpass: Career mode lets you launch a season, taking part in races to develop your reputation, attract sponsors and try to win competitions. In online Multiplayer mode, which can be played with up to 8 players, you have to demonstrate superb control to finish the race ahead of the others. The experience is rounded out with other game modes, such as Quick Race and Local play (split screen or hotseat) to see if the player can rise to the challenge of the most challenging off-road race.

Overpass™ will be available on PC via the Epic Games Store on February 27, 2020 and on March 17 for the PlayStation 4™ , Xbox One and Nintendo Switch™ platforms.
