I’m not familiar with the proto-internet cartoon ******* Bean, but Graham assures me it’s fairly important in the history of online animation. Regardless, I’ve been won over by the upcoming video game of the same name from original creator Jeff Lew, which looks to blend together Just Cause stunt shenanigans, John Woo slo-mo gunfights and the energy of a third-person action game you would’ve found in a bargain bin for the PlayStation 2 in 2002. It’ll hit early access this summer, courtesy of a fresh look from tonight’s Summer Game Fest showcase. Read more View the full article

During the sneak peek, we got a glimpse at each of the characters and their various roles aboard the Skeld.

Although you may know Blumhouse for their strange and not-so-scary horror films, it seems like Blumhouse has some insane-looking upcoming games. Blumhouse’s six games look incredible, despite their mid filmsThe Five Nights and Freddy’s movie was a blast to watch, but it wasn’t as scary as I’d hoped. Then there’s M3GAN, which was intentionally silly and an unmemorable movie. On the flip side, Blumhouse’s surprising bevy of games, announced at Summer Game Fest, threw my hype levels out the roof.At first, you thought it was just one game, then it was two, and suddenly it turned into six unique and slightly horrifying video games. I’d be happy with just one, but six games with elements of horror will make any fan of the genre excited. Image: BlumhouseIt makes you think that Blumhouse couldn’t have spearheaded these games, right? Working with creators like Sam Barlow and Brandon Cronenberg who are known horror creatives for...View the full article

But we've had our biggest, and best, look at the title to date at Summer Game Fest 2024. The game is due to release on November 8, 2024 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Seires X and S, and PC. But you probably already knew that because you saw the leaks earlier today. The game is headed up by Keiichiro Toyama, the ********* creator who is known for working on Silent Hill, Siren, and the Gravity Rush series of games. Toyama has previously said that Bokeh Game Studio's first project will be a horror-orientated title that will be made "in his own style" that is partly inspired by what he refers to as "****** games", noting that the theme is prevalent in ********* manga and that setting them in "brutal worlds" is becoming something of a theme.

A French game about mountain climbing? No, not that one. This is Cairn, not Jusant, and it’s actually a very different ******. Jusant could be tricky, but climbing was more the way you experienced its story. In survival climber Cairn, the ascent is the story. It seem to mainly be a story about how bad you are at climbing.

In what is only the third ever piece of videogame-related media to make me weep at my keyboard, Volgar the Viking devs and retro specialists Digital Eclipse have announced a Power Ranger videogame - Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind.

LEGO Horizon Adventures being revealed to the world opens the floodgates for where the LEGO games can go. This can create limitless and unique possibilities that I for one am looking forward to. A whole new territory to explore We’ve seen how expansive LEGO can be with brands like Starwars. However, by collaborating with other game makers like Epic with Fortnite, experiences can be more unique. The proof is in the pudding. Just take a look at the world of LEGO Fortnite. The inclusion of the toy brand took Fornite to new heights, so I can safely predict that if they go beyond Fornite, we can see a whole slate of new types of games.Image: Guerrilla Games Walk before you can runBefore we even talk about the future of the brand, we have to see if LEGO Horizon Adventures will be hit or not.

You may know Montpellier-Based developers The Game Bakers as the folks behind the hack-and-slash bullet ***** game Furi, or the romantic sci-fi RPG Haven. What you may not have known that apparently, all of these games were part of a trilogy. As explained during tonight's Day of the Devs showcase (NOTE: or the main Summer Game Fest showcase, apologies, as this article was written in advance), these games have been part of a trilogy of freedom, with Furi being all about wanting to live free, and Haven centering around freedom to love whoever you want. And their new game that the debuted, Cairn, is about "...pushing beyond your limits, and breaking free from your obsessions" according to CEO Audrey Leprince. And indeed, there's nothing that fuels that kind of freedom more than climbing a massive mountain, far away from the rest of world, and conquering it even when things seem impossible, as seen in the reveal trailer below.

Jason Blum has taken to the stage at Summer Game Fest 2024 to reveal that Blumhouse Games hasa whole roster of games in the works from multiple studios, no doubt thrilling people who like being scared by things the world over. Let's start with Crisol Theater of Idols from Vermila Studios, which looks to be my (Kelsey's) worst nightmare as someone with a pretty big distaste towards dolls. Then there's what looks to be like a pixel-art horror adventure by Perfect Garbage, first-person experience Sleep Awake from Eyes Out, ***** the Spotlight from Cosy Game Pals, and The Simulation from PlayMeStudio. That's not all, either, with a sixth project in the works, currently coined Project C. With the visionary minds of Sam Barlow and Brandon Cronenberg attached to it, and nothing but a cryptic quote about the future to go off, I think it's safe to say we can probably expect the pair to develop something mind-blowing. Or unique, at the very least. Read more View the full article
