Skewed and Reviewed get the latest on the remake of the shooter classic Rise of the Triad. The game is getting a graphical update as well as all sorts of new enhancements from network play, and more.
OX writes: "Battlefield 1 is out this week, and it takes the military shooter series to World War 1. This conflict was one of the most bloody and horrifying in modern history, but that doesn't preclude it from including an unexpectedly moving section where you play as a pigeon. It's not the first time a game has let us briefly, bizarrely be an animal, as Show of the Week discovers."
News - Soundtrack from Andrew Hulshut of Brutal Doom and Rise of the Triad.
Outside Xbox:
" Merry Fallout Christmas! In the spirit of the season, we bring cheer to the residents of Fallout 4's Sanctuary by decking the halls of the tumbledown shanty town. Some would say a light-up Christmas tree that requires three large generators to power is excessive in a town that doesn't have a clean water supply, but those people are grinches whom you must ignore. "
This, Painkiiler Hell and Damnation and the Serious Sam Next Encounter mod are going to make later this year a heck of an old school FPS throwback treat.
Retro is all the Rage. Doom 3 is getting a make over, I heard Apogee is kicking around Blake Stone, and we have an updated X-Com game arriving next month.I wonder if more developers will attempt to shave development costs by updating classic games rather than create new B and C list titles.
