Grab Your Magnifying Glass! Adventure Time's First Graphic Adventure Game Goes 3D in Adventure Time: Finn and Jake Investigations

This Fall, video game players will be able to totally immerse themselves in the Land of Ooo playing an all-new, fully-3D Adventure Time video game, Adventure Time: Finn and Jake Investigations.

Adventure Time: Finn and Jake Investigations is an all-new, real-time, fully 3D action-oriented twist on the classic story-driven graphic adventure game.

Confronted with mysterious Land of Ooo disappearances and strange events, players will interrogate colorful inhabitants, dispatch evil doers in fast-paced combat, solve mind-bending puzzles, explore new and familiar locations, and genuinely feel as if they have stepped into their own personal episode of Adventure Time.

"We received a lot of fan feedback asking us to bring our next Adventure Time game to next generation consoles in 3D, and we're thrilled to be delivering that and a lot more," said Matt Scott, CEO of Little Orbit. "This new game is a complete departure from previous Adventure Time games. We have created an intriguing classic adventure game set in a richly-detailed 3D Land of Ooo where players can check out Land of Ooo locales, talk to characters, sharpen their creative puzzle-solving skills, defeat bad guys and just have fun."

"A large part of the charm of Adventure Time is the incredibly creative and expansive world of characters that live in the Land of Ooo and combine to create a really unique story and connection," said Pete Yoder, vice president of Cartoon Network Enterprises, North America. "In Adventure Time: Finn and Jake Investigations, Vicious Cycle has developed a game that truly immerses players into that world and offers fans a 3D gaming experience unlike anything we've ever done."

“It has been a pleasure to work with KAIKO and having the opportunity bringing Kay back to life again," comments Gennaro Giani, producer & localization manager at Nordic Games. “Legend of Kay is pure action-gaming with fantastic 3D Platformer Elements and a wonderful Soundtrack. My personal tagline for Legend of Kay: Easy to learn, hard to master.”

"Legend of Kay was a true gem on the Playstation 2 platform,” adds Reinhard Pollice, business & product development director at Nordic Games. “Our strategy is to focus on our IPs and make them available to as many players as possible and also on the current generation of consoles. We keep our options open to expand on the Legend of Kay franchise in the future."

"Working on Legend of Kay Anniversary was and still is quite remarkable," comments Peter Thierolf, founder and managing director at KAIKO. "We were able to rediscover the attention to detail with which the original game had been crafted and pushed ourselves to be true to that original spirit. This was about the best time we had within the last couple of years."

About Legend of Kay Anniversary

Legend of Kay Anniversary is a colourful action adventure, blending the gameplay of a platformer with dynamic fight combos.

Overlord: Fellowship of Evil Announced ~ PS4, Xbox One & PC

   

   

Codemasters Announces Overlord: Fellowship of Evil Announced, Invading Consoles and PC in 2015

Are you sick of RPGs casting you as a valiant bore? Do you need a fresh breath of putrid air in fantasy Action RPG gaming? Then it’s time to thank the dark Gods; everyone’s favourite pantomime of gaming evil has returned! After six years of scheming away in their darkest dungeons, the Codemasters development Minions have hatched their most diabolical gaming experience yet – Overlord: Fellowship of Evil, invading PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system; Xbox One and the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC in 2015.

Boasting a devilishly good script written by the original’s award-winning scriptwriter Rhianna Pratchett, Overlord: Fellowship of Evil gives players a brand new, darkly comic quest to embark upon. Fans of evil doings can watch the first trailer in action now here

With the last true Overlord deceased, gamers take up the role of one of four Netherghūls. These brand new, suitably nefarious additions to the series are undead servants of the dark arts, determined to bring evil back to a world overrun by the forces of good.

But where’s the fun in smiting fools alone? Join the Fellowship, grab three of your most devious friends - locally or online - and gleefully unleash a wave of delightful destruction across the land. For the Master!

Are you the type of ne’er-do-well who thinks that friends are the disgusting product of weak-minded goody-goodies? Fear not! You can always choose to screw them over too - evil never plays by the rules!

Assisted by your horde of loveably moronic minions, Overlord: Fellowship of Evil takes gamers back into the series’ charmingly twisted world, resurrecting its unique blend of subversive humour and destruction, and then sprinkling in a large helping of four player co-op chaos to dial the eviling up to evileven. Fans will be pleased to hear that the Minions are led by their wise master Gnarl, voiced once again by beloved voice actor Marc Silk.

Filled with fun combat and twisted fantasy tales, Overlord: Fellowship of Evil invites players to dive once again into the series warped fantasy world in an Action RPG where it’s good to be bad, but it’s GREAT to be evil.

“We’ve been scheming about a new Overlord for some time” said Rob Elser, Executive Producer Minion, Codemasters. “We really wanted to do something that would allow us be evil alongside our friends, instead of the normal heroics in every other game. The idea of playing as a team of bad guys commanding Minions to do our utmost bidding, while also causing chaos for each other, just really made us smile. And as you know, an Overlord game never takes itself too seriously.”

“Finally the secret dark rituals have paid off!” said Rhianna Pratchett, Mistress of Scrolls “I’m often asked if there’ll be another Overlord game, so it’s wonderful to be back in black helping to create a new carnage-filled evil ride. This is one game franchise which has been as fun to develop as it is to play, and Fellowship of Evil is no exception. And don’t worry, there will be sheepies. We have plans for them. Oh yes!”

Overlord: Fellowship of Evil invades digital console stores and Steam for PC in 2015. Follow the Codemasters Minions progress towards world domination on the Codemasters Blog.

画面真的不代表一切！ 调查指出画面并非玩家购买游戏的决定要素

　　市场调查研究公司尼尔森（Nielsen）先前曾针对现行 3 大家用游戏主机的卖点发表过一份调查，报告中指出玩家在购买 PS4 时最主要的决定因素在于「画面表现」，Xbox One 是「品牌忠诚度」，Wii U 则是「游戏乐趣」。 但要是撇开主机不谈的话，消费者在购买游戏时真正的决定因素又会是什么呢？ 美国娱乐软件协会（Entertainment Software Association，以下简称 ESA）最近就针对这个议题发表了一篇调查报告。



　　如上图所见，其中占最多数的是「有趣的剧情／故事前提」，根据这份 ESA 以超过 4,000 个美国家庭为调查对象所做的问卷，有 22% 的消费者之所以会花钱去买某一款游戏，最决定性的因素还是在于故事的吸引力。

　　即便「分辨率」和「画面更新率」常常是论坛上讨论得最热烈的话题，实际上，游戏在画面上的表现却不是影响玩家购买游戏时最重要的因素。 排在故事之后的分别是「价格（15%）」、口碑「（11%）」、「喜爱的游戏系列续作（10%）、「与过去的游戏体验相似（8%）」，再来才是「画面（7%）」。

除此之外，这份问卷中还点出了现在游戏业界中的其他各种趋势，以下将列出报告中几项较为值得注意的项目，有兴趣的朋友可藉由下方的链接阅览完整的报告内容。

• 美国现在有 1.55 亿电子游戏玩家
• 这些玩家的平均年龄为 35 岁
• 其中 56% 为男性，44% 为女性
• 18 岁以上的女性玩家在全游戏人口中所占的比率（33%）是 18 岁以下男孩（15%）的两倍
• 这些玩家的平均游戏年龄（从几年前开始玩游戏）为 13 年
• 69% 的家长会在买游戏给孩子之前先确认游戏分级（ESRB）
• 63% 的家长对电子游戏给孩子的影响持正面态度

Mighty No. 9 Launches on September, Physical Version Announced
《麦提 9 号》确定 9 月中旬问世 由《黑街圣徒》发行商 Deep Silver 负责发行

　　由知名游戏制作人稻船敬二 于 Kickstarter 募资开发的多平台动作游戏《麦提 9 号（Mighty No.9）》，于 4 月 28 日时公布了确切发售日与赞助者所能获得的多样免费要素。

　　原先预定在今年春季发售的《麦提 9 号》确定将与制作出《黑街圣徒》、《战栗深隧》、《死亡之岛》系列的发行商「Deep Silver」合作。 除了 PS Vita 与 N3DS 版将略为延期，其余版本将于 9 月 15 日在美国地区发售，而其他地区则在 9 月 18 日发售。 数字版预定售价 19,99 美元，包含「RAY DLC」的实体版则为 29,99 美元。

　　对于原预计春季发售却延期到 9 月中，Comcept 表示这一切都是为了带给赞助者们更多优良的体验、追加更多更丰富的游戏内容所致，也因此他们需要更多的时间来除错。

　　除了追加「西班牙语、法语、意大利语、德语、俄语、波兰语、巴西葡萄牙语」字幕及日语、法语配音之外，也将推出收录「附加关卡、头目战、新可控制人物」的「RAY DLC」的实体版。

　　另外，所有资助者皆可免费获得上述「RAY DLC」的全部内容！



　　《麦提 9 号（Mighty No. 9）》是由有着「《洛克人》系列之父」别称的稻船敬二领军开发，预定 2015 年 9 月 15 日推出的多平台动作游戏。 故事描述由于不明计算机病毒的关系，除了由怀特博士开发的「贝克」之外的机器人，包含贝克的哥哥们「Mighty No.1～Mighty No.8」全被感染且暴走了。 为了阻止暴走的哥哥们，唯一残存的贝克踏上拯救世界的旅途。

官方 FAQ

《麦提 9 号》从发行商身上得到了什么？
　　简言之，我们让游戏追加了许多之前无法提供的内容以及更多的服务，现在包含这些项目：
1.在「RAY DLC」里的追加关卡、头目战、新可操控人物（名为 TBD）
2.英文、日文、法文配音
英语、西班牙语、法语、意大利语、德语、俄语、波兰语、巴西葡萄牙语字幕
3.对应 Xbox One、PlayStation 4、Wii U、PC、Linux 和 Mac 等平台的实体零售版

这项声明的承诺
　　好消息是所有赞助者都可免费获得上述内容，不太好的消息是发行日延到 9 月 15 日了

为什么延期了？
　　延期至 9 月让我们有更多时间准备上述的内容，也让我们有更多时间除错、应对未来的挑战与内容。 我们明白玩家们迫切想游玩的心情，但我们也相信更多时间的准备可以带来更优质的游戏内容，同时也更值得玩家们细心品味。

合作关系对于《麦提 9 号》的经销权有何影响？
　　首先，不论是对《麦提 9 号》或是未来的其他作品，Comcept 都保有完全的 IP 创意控制权。 与 Deep Silver 的合作带给我们更多资源去完成梦想中的计划，并且让我们可以免除发行以及营销的困扰，心无旁鹜地专注在打造好游戏这方面。

　　老实说，对于能够找到一个如此了解我们身为一个游戏创作者需求、且能共同分享热忱的工作伙伴，我们觉得相当相当幸运。

为什么在此之前未曾提过寻找发行商是有可能的一件事？
　　事实上，我们有做过！ 打从一开始在 Kickstater 页面的 FAQ 上，我们就有提过对于发行商的需求以及在文章中与之前举办过的游戏活动上重申观点。

　　我们认为，最重要的不只是能在当下给予我们帮助，而是还可以保护甚至提供任何我们未来打算着手从事之要素（赞助者奖励、社交层面，等）的发行商。 而 Deep Silver 不只满足了我们的要求，还提供了更多！

　　作为 Kickstarter 的赞助者，我得到的实体版和商店买的会一样吗？
不同，赞助者们所得到的版本和零售店卖的有所区别，对于任何赞助者而言都是独一无二的。

等等，所以到底哪些人可以免费拿到「RAY DLC」？

• 赞助者不论购买哪种平台、实体版或数字版都可免费获得
• 非赞助者购买实体版
• 非赞助者且购买较便宜的数字版无法免费获得，但可以日后额外购买
  

为什么携带版发售日较晚
　　因为 PS Vita 与 N3DS 两携带版需要重制，因此发行时间会晚于其他版本

For an Even Mightier No. 9, Deep Silver and Comcept Team Up to Add More Value

Comcept and Deep Silver today announced their partnership for Comcept's upcoming sidescrolling action game and Kickstarter sensation, Mighty No. 9. Created by Keiji Inafune − the “father of Mega Man” − Comcept and Japanese co-developer Inti Creates, Mighty No. 9 will be available on 15th September 2015 in the Americas and on 18th September 2015 worldwide as a digital download as well as physical retail version for Xbox One, the all-inone games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation 4, Wii U, PC, Linux and Mac as well as digital only on the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation 3. Portable versions for PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS will follow at a later point.

This co-operation allows Comcept to not only broaden the audience for Mighty No. 9 by bringing the game to retail, but also provides them with additional resources to add significant value for both existing Kickstarter backers and new players alike. This includes:

• An all-new stage including an epic battle with Beck‟s rival Ray that, upon completion, unlocks Ray as a playable character for the entire main game, adding unique skills and all-new gameplay mechanics. The stage will be available as additional downloadable content, adding huge replay value. This extra content will be included in the retail editions and will be offered free of charge to all backers of the project at the launch of the game.

• Japanese and French voice-overs have been recorded and will be added to all versions of the game alongside the already planned English VO.

• Deep Silver will provide localized versions with subtitles in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Russian, Polish an Brazilian Portuguese.

• While Comcept remains the owner of the Mighty No. 9 brand, the two companies will join their forces to effectively market and distribute the game, with Deep Silver spearheading the sales area and also assisting Comcept in the QA testing of the game.

“This is a great opportunity for Comcept: The partnership enables us to deliver Mighty No. 9 to a wider audience while adding some great extra value to the game,” says Keiji Inafune, CEO, Comcept. “This comes with the price of a short delay, but we are confident that the extra content is worth the wait.”

“The incredibly successful Kickstarter campaign for Mighty No. 9 through Keiji Inafune and his team has shown how huge their fan base is and how much anticipation there is for a true spiritual successor of classic side-scrolling action games. Deep Silver is proud to publish this game and help Comcept in bringing their vision to life,” comments Klemens Kundratitz, CEO, Deep Silver.

About Mighty No. 9

Created by Keiji Inafune and an all-star team of veteran devs, Mighty No. 9 is a challenging side-scrolling action game that transforms the feel of 8 and 16-bit classics, as players remember them, into a fresh modern-day classic.

In the year 20XX, breakthroughs in robotic technology have ushered in a new era of peace & prosperity. Violence is confined to the Battle Coliseum, where robot combatants face off in spectacular duels. Dr. White created 9 robot siblings known as the “Mighty Numbers”, who were the most popular and powerful team of robots in the Battle Coliseum and always in the top ranks. But, during one competition there was a cyber-attack, infecting them with a computer virus causing them to become crazed and rampant. You play as Beck, the 9th in a line of powerful robots, and the only one not infected by the mysterious computer virus that caused mechanized creatures the world over to go berserk.

Run, jump, blast and transform your way through 9 initial stages (plus 3 later stages) which you can tackle in any order you choose, using weapons and abilities stolen from your enemies, in order to take down your fellow Mighty Number robots and to confront the final evil that threatens the planet!

Skullgirls 2nd Encore’s New Features

Lab Zero Games and Autumn Games are bringing Skullgirls 2nd Encore to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita this summer, replete with a number of exclusive new features.

Currently these new features will be exclusive to the PS4/Vita releases, but we’re looking into releasing them as DLC on for the PC version.

Fully-voiced Story Mode

Responding to fan demand, the story modes for Skullgirls 2nd Encore will be fully voiced! Featuring some of anime’s best and brightest, the new voices bring Skullgirls’ deep characters and lore to life.

Challenges

In challenges, players square off against opponents with a variety of unique battle conditions to test their mettle. Can you beat Big Band without jumping? Or defeat triple Doubles?

Trials

Trials test players’ skills by having them to perform combos. Trials are built on a new button-by-button instructional system to make learning combos easier and more intuitive than ever.

Furthermore, unlike many fighting game trials, Skullgirls 2nd Encore’s trials include combos frequently used in real play, from basic bread ‘n butter to more advanced combos.

Survival Mode

Skullgirls 2nd Encore’s new Survival Mode pits players against an endless procession of foes – how long can you last?

The better you do, the more health you’ll recover between rounds. The longer you last, the harder your foes will become.

Full Platinum Trophy Set

For all the trophy hunters out there, Skullgirls 2nd Encore will have a full Platinum trophy set.

The 43 trophies will test players’ mastery of Skullgirls and the new content. Many of the previous trophies are returning, while others have been adjusted based on player feedback.
