City of Brass Announcement Trailer

2017/07/06

Geek News, News, PlayStation 4 News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News, Xbox One News

July 6, 2017 – Leaping from the pages of the Arabian Nights, adventure awaits in the accursed City of Brass – a place of legend beneath the sand, filled with danger and reward. Infested with mischievous spirits and deadly traps, its shifting streets are brimming with the wealth of a nation. Players assume the role of a cunning thief, battling to reach a fabled treasure at the city’s heart, wielding a blade and whip that can be used to disarm, trip or stun enemies, to swing to safety, grab inaccessible objects or even break through flimsy barricades.

But the city itself also has teeth. Players have to leap across pits, slide under blades, dodge spears or arrows, evade or employ sprung paving slabs, and sidestep poison gas traps – all the while manipulating these hazards to their advantage against diverse supernatural foes.

EnemiesCity of Brass has eternal replayability, designed to encourage combinative gameplay within an ever-changing, carefully optimized cityscape. Gamers must learn to manipulate every system if they are to survive, moving swiftly and deftly through each level, balancing the need for loot with the absolute requirement to escape within the time limit.

“Developing a game with multiple, interacting systems that players can freely combine feels like a return to our roots, drawing on our experiences working on BioShock and many of our other favorites,” explained Ed Orman, Lead Designer. “Players must learn how to use the traps to kill their foes, and even turn enemies against each another. You’ll perish in the City of Brass – often, and quite horribly – but as your skills improve and you discover new ways to cheat death, you’ll return to fight another day.”

Game features include:

  • Loot! Collect treasure to increase your score, plunder chests for weapon and armor upgrades or powerful relics – but make it to the exit in time or face death by dervish…
  • Genies! Incarcerated within the city, and most are friendly… Some will barter gear, upgrades, secrets, unlocks or protections in return for loot. Use one of three wishes to unlock a powerful benefit, or for a king’s ransom, buy a genie’s freedom in return for help in the final battle.
  • Improv! When your sword just isn’t enough, get creative: smash your enemies with explosive vases, blind them with a brick to the face, or force them into traps.
  • Ghouls! The city is filled with wretched spirits of all flavors, all with unique behaviors, all with the singular character defect that they want to kill you.
  • Smarts! The algorithms that create each level are tweaked to generate a logically laid out cityscape of interconnected chambers, courtyards and corridors.
  • Agility! The rhythmic interplay of blade and lash has been carefully tuned along with sprinting, crouching, sliding, leaping and vaulting to give a fluid, balanced and natural feel to the movement and melee.
  • Challenges! For the ultimate test, experienced players can encumber themselves with Divine Burdens, global modifiers that change enemy abilities, spawn behaviors or multiply environmental hazards.
  • Permadeath! No two playthroughs are ever the same: play, die, and play again, each time using what you’ve learned to get further. Are you tenacious enough to reach the heart of the City of Brass?

City of Brass will be released for Windows PC on Steam in fall 2017, with versions for PlayStation® 4 systems and Xbox One following in 2018.

Berlin, July 3rd, 2017 – PAST CURE, the new action stealth thriller coming from Indie developer Phantom 8 Studio, is back on the screen with a stunning new trailer. Giving tantalizing insight into the story, the trailer also impressively demonstrates that in PAST CURE, action is not just a label: the fighting animations shown are completely motion-captured, having been created in collaboration with professional MMA fighters.

There’s also great news for console gamers: in addition to the PC and PlayStation® 4 versions already announced, PAST CURE is now set to come to Xbox One®. All versions will launch simultaneously in Q4 2017 and will be available both online and in retail stores.

Thrilling stealth missions blurring the line between madness and reality

After his years of being tortured in dark prisons across Europe, ex elite soldier Ian lives in the safehouse of his brother, struggling with the consequences of the military experiments he was put through. They twisted his mind, imbued him with preternatural mental abilities such as time control and telekinesis, and fractured his grip on reality. Driven by hallucinations and his thirst for revenge, Ian enlists his brother’s help as he sets out on a thrilling hunt for the perpetrators of the conspiracy against him, and for the truth underlying his torment. On his missions Ian experiments with his new powers, quickly coming to realize their inherent danger: with each use, his sanity frays a little more, inviting the nightmarish attention of something beyond reality. In pursuit of the men behind his imprisonment, Ian soon realizes that his true enemy may be hiding within his madness. With PAST CURE, indie developer Phantom 8 Studio have successfully combined challenging stealth missions and real-time action sequences. In the world of PAST CURE, two dimensions offer two realities – the waking world, and nightmare – coming together in a game aptly described as ‘Inception meets Fight Club meets John Wick’. PAST CURE will come to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in retail and online versions for US$ 29.99/ € 29.99 in Q4 2017.

About Phantom 8 Studio UG

Phantom 8 Studio UG & Ko. KG was founded in January 2016 by Ivan Mirkovikj, Roman Duda and Simon Gerdesmann. The Berlin-based independent developer is currently focusing on the development of their first title PAST CURE. By utilizing the latest 3D scan and motion-capturing technologies as well as their strong partnerships with technology providers such as 3Lateral, Cubic Motion and Metric Minds, the studio embraces the challenge of delivering thrilling high quality games at an affordable price point for millions of players.

Geek News, Mobile News, News, Trailers / Videos

June 29, 2017 – ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD! Jam City, via its game studio TinyCo, and FoxNext Games announced that their mobile game Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow is available TODAY on the App Store and Google Play. TinyCo has released two new animated trailers alongside the game, one of which reveals the game’s all-new story created by Matt Groening, David X. Cohen, and the FUTURAMA writers. This story sets the stage for a galactic adventure that will take players across the universe in search of ancient alien artifacts to restore the fabric of spacetime after it is transformed by one of the universe’s most recognizable yet enigmatic creatures: the Hypnotoad.

“Hypnotoad has always been one of Futurama’s most mysterious amphibians,” said Matt Groening. “In this game we finally get to learn much more about his bizarre abilities and mating habits. Perhaps too much more.”

Created in partnership with FUTURAMA creator and Executive Producer Matt Groening and his Curiosity Company, along with Executive Producer David X. Cohen, original FUTURAMA writers, and Rough Draft Studios, Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow blends simulation, combat, galactic exploration, and choose-your-own-adventure gameplay together to bring the escapades of the Planet Express crew to life. Players will experience new stories from the writers of FUTURAMA that are filled to the brim with the wit, charm, and sci-fi hijinks that fans have come to know and love. Today’s launch is just the beginning for Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow, however, as the game will be updated with new characters, quests, and stories every week.

“Bringing FUTURAMA back in such a new and ambitious form was extremely difficult,” said David X. Cohen, FUTURAMA Co-Developer and Head Writer. “Especially for the people I was bossing around and yelling at.”

Jam City: Licensed and Original IP

In addition to its popular original IP games such as Cookie Jam and Panda Pop, Jam City has made a science out of turning some of the world’s largest entertainment franchises and brands into hit mobile games. The mobile gaming publisher is the creator of 6 of the Top 100 Highest Grossing games played nationwide across both iPhone and Android devices.

“We are Futurama fanatics,” said Chris DeWolfe, co-founder and CEO of Jam City. “As such, it is quite an honor for us to collaborate so closely with Matt Groening and David X. Cohen on Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow.”

“Jam City has a unique heritage of translating original TV brands, like Futurama, into mobile gaming platforms that will be played by tens of millions of fans worldwide,” DeWolfe continued. “By blending contemporary culture and science fiction, we have created a next gen mobile experience for core fans and those who are new to Futurama. We could not be more thrilled to continue the Futurama story here at Jam City.”

Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow is free to play and is available NOW on mobile devices via the App Store and Google Play. To connect with FUTURAMA fans and developers, please visit: www.fb.com/playfuturama, www.twitter.com/playfuturama, and www.JamCity.com.

Red Lantern Escape Rooms ‘Midnight on the Bayou’ Review

2017/06/30
Jerry Paxton
Geek News, Halloween, Misc Review, News, Reviews

Red Lantern Escape Rooms is a somewhat newer contender in the fast-growing Southern California escape room market. Their freshman entry, “Midnight on the Bayou”, offers escapees (escape room players) a great combination of challenge, reward, and production value which will surely bring them back for more. We were contacted by Red Lantern Escape Rooms several weeks ago to arrange a visit and review from our website. We love escape rooms, and have reviewed several, so we couldn’t wait to see what this new contender had to offer.

We checked into Red Lantern Escape Rooms on a Thursday evening and signed our waivers then took a seat in a waiting area for a few minutes. In the waiting area, we discovered a couple of newspaper clippings laid out on the table in the middle of the room. One of the coolest things about Midnight on the Bayou is that knowing the story is extremely helpful in figuring out all the puzzles you will encounter. That being the case, you might want to read those newspaper clippings… Just sayin’.

We were then escorted into the Bayou High reunion. The escape room is HUGE… Aside from The Bunker Experience, this is the largest escape space we have encountered. The set design is great and the lighting is excellent at setting the mood. On this dark bayou evening, your group will be tasked with putting to rest some spirits that have never found peace since their fateful demise many years ago. While the subject matter does deal with the paranormal, the escape room was not based in the realm of what I would consider Horror, so it probably won’t scare the young ones in your group if that is a concern to you.

One element that we found refreshing was that a sort of help system is available to you throughout the experience, although not in the traditional way escape rooms do this. Usually, there is a radio or phone that you can call for hints if you absolutely get stuck. In the Red Lantern Escape Room, however, the help came in the form of an actor – a real person who is part of the show. Interact with him, ask him questions, you might be surprised what insights you gleam.

Over the course of the hour, we began unraveling the clues and putting spirits to rest. Unfortunately, we failed to escape, but we got pretty darn close. Apparently, we had just one puzzle left to solve and that would have been that. So, I guess we’ll just have to come back another time and take a crack at it. Also, it looks like Red Lantern Escape Rooms has grande plans in mind as they are hoping to expand the story of Midnight on the Bayou with a second escape room experience sometime in the future. This is a great choice as they keep story as a key part in their experience, so it will be interesting to see how the story evolves. Another cool thing about Midnight on the Bayou is that it can accommodate groups of up to twelve people! This just goes to illustrate the staggering floor space of the escape room. According to the Red Lantern Escape Rooms website, the space measures about 1,000 square feet!

There are, of course, some other secrets and surprises in store for your group at Midnight on the Bayou, but I’ll leave those for you to discover during your own escape adventure. But, I will say that Midnight on the Bayou from Red Lantern Escape Rooms is an excellent escape room challenge for both new and old players of the game which also features some great set and puzzle design. Red Lantern Escape Rooms is located in Anaheim, CA and runs 7 days a week. Tickets are available at their official website and run $32 dollars each for weeknights and $35 dollars each on the weekends. You can book your escape room experience over at their official website!
