MOTHERGUNSHIP Resistance Trailer

2018/04/05

April 4th, 2018 – The fight against the data-hoarding machines of the MOTHERGUNSHIP fleet approaches. Enter into Joe Mirabello’s spiritual successor to Tower of Guns that mixes the FPS and bullet-hell genres in ways unique to his vision. As we near the release of MOTHERGUNSHIP, now scheduled for Summer 2018, we wanted to give you a quick and easy recap on what you might’ve missed in the last few months.

Gun Customization:

See that massive machine in the cover art? That’s the MOTHERGUNSHIP, and yeah, you’re supposed to fight it. Luckily, MOTHERGUNSHIP (the game) lets the player craft, create, and customize their very own gun monstrosities to fend off all the foes you’ll face along the way. The only boundary is making the barrel face forward. The rest is up to your creative will. Joe Mirabello wanted the process to be exploratory and “game breaking”. With different barrels, caps, and stock pieces, players customize the shape, output, and total energy consumption of the weapon. Want to make a 10-barreled flamethrower sniper that’s shaped like a box in your FOV? Yup, go for it. How about a gravity dipping grenade launcher that also has 3 shotgun barrel attachments? Totally! Oh yeah, you could also make something more manageable too.

We’ll have some exciting news to share soon about how players can try their hand at this before release. But, ummm, that’ll come soon 😉

New Fleet Ships:

The MOTHERGUNSHIP is the final big bad you’ll have to face, but in order to get to it, you’ll need to take down the fleet that protects the leader of them all. The foundry ships are responsible for the creation of all the legions of robots you’ll face along the way. Enter into the molten heart of these ships but keep in mind that the heat will be your friend and foe as you traverse the space.

Telecommunication is just as important to robots, and you’ll find where all the wires are kept in the vibrant heart of the neon ships. Watch your step and use the sonic waves set inside the ship to propel your body forward in this florescent environment.

Dawn of the Morninglight adds another region to the already impressive roster of real-world locations in Secret World Legends. In addition to visiting New England, Egypt, Transylvania, and Tokyo, players can now jump on a plane and head to South Africa where the Morninglight, a cult that prides itself as being the “fastest growing spiritual movement in history”, has set up shop. Your job? Infiltrate them, rise within their ranks, and uncover the cult’s sinister truth.This free story expansion presents the continuation of Secret World Legend’s story set after the events of Kaidan and players’ recent ascent through the Orochi Tower. Those who have completed the Tokyo storyline will finally see their story continue.

“We’ve been saying ‘to be continued’ for quite some time now,” says Producer Josh Mills. “Finally, here it is, this is where it continues. We have introduced hours of new and fully voice-acted missions, new characters, new cutscenes, new monsters, and of course tons of new loot to discover.

Players have a lot to look forward to!”

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Announced for Pinball FX3 this April

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

San Francisco, CA – March 29, 2018 – Today, Zen Studios announces two new exciting tables based on Star Wars™: The Last Jedi™, coming to Pinball FX3 on April 17. With one table based on the overall plot of the film and another more focused on Luke Skywalker’s hideaway on Ahch-To Island, the Star Wars Pinball: The Last Jedi pack will be available for download on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam, and Windows 10, as well as on the App Store, Google Play, and Mac through the Zen Pinball and Star Wars Pinball apps.

Both tables in the Star Wars Pinball: The Last Jedi pack reimagine memorable moments from the film in an interactive way only Pinball FX3 can deliver, from fast-paced pinball action to an advanced leaderboard system and RPG-like progression. Sound effects straight from the film complement an authentic Star Wars soundtrack, as animated 3D models bring everything to life. Join Luke Skywalker, Rey, Finn, Chewbacca, R2-D2, BB-8 and Captain Phasma—even Porgs!—in galaxy-spanning antics from the far reaches of the Outer Rim to Luke’s hideaway in the Unknown Regions.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Survive a First Order onslaught as the Resistance, train Rey in the ways of the Force on Ahch-To, and defend Finn from Captain Phasma, blasting away at stormtroopers as BB-8. Jump a ramp to shoot down TIE fighters, fight off Kylo Ren’s TIE Silencer, and teach Rey that the Force isn’t just moving rocks!
Star Wars: Ahch-To Island – Luke Skywalker (reluctantly) welcomes you to his secluded hideaway. Train Rey in the ways of the Force, convince Luke to join the Resistance and help Chewbacca deal with some Porg problems. You’ll even get a taste of everyday life on the island as Luke, including reminiscing about his Rebellion days through R2-D2’s hologram projections. And when the lights go off during a multiball mode? Let’s just hope the Force is with you…
“We at Zen are happy to celebrate five years of making fan-favorite Star Wars Pinball tables,” says Mel Kirk, VP of Publishing at Zen Studios. “Once our Star Wars Pinball: The Last Jedi pack is released, players will be able to choose from no fewer than 16 robust tables set in that iconic galaxy far, far away. We’ve built an incredible community over the years, and we hope to keep pleasing them through Pinball FX3 for years to come.”
