NEWS: Dead Island Epidemic Beta Begins Soon

Deep Silver has confirmed the beta will start soon but with no specific date mentioned as of yet.

Players are encouraged to sign up now if they want to gain access to the beta, which is to start shortly - sign ups are taking place at the official website.

Dead Island Epidemic takes a departure from the last two games, which had players taking on hordes of Zombies using first person mechanics - instead you'll be tackling the undead from a top-down point of view with a more arcade style and overall feel.

The official blurb says "Dead Island Epidemic is a fast-paced action game where players will duke it our over supply points, using an arsenal of crafted weaponry, a bevy of devastating powers, and good old-fashion teamwork."

Deep Silver seems to be proud to introduce a new genre in the industry too, known as the ZOMBA - Zombie Online Multiplayer Battle Adventure. This will introduce various features including Battle Royale, in which 3 teams of 4 must work together in order to gain supplies, holding down particular areas of the map, all whilst gunning down oncoming Zombie hordes.

The game is to be PC exclusive and is to release through Steam, there is no release date as of yet - if you want to take part in the upcoming beta, be sure to sign up now as places could be limited.

NEWS: Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition Gameplay Revealed

The first part of the game has surfaced online, showing off HD enhancements.

Ready to play Resident Evil 4 yet again? - the very first part of the game has been uploaded, showcasing HD improvements and utilizing the use of full 60 frames per second gameplay.

Originally released on the GameCube back in 2005, Resident Evil 4 took the series in a different direction, which included tons more action and a departure from the horror-survival elements of the earlier games.

Some gamers saw this as the downfall to the series as it quickly descended into an action series, whilst others would highly praise the game. 

The Ultimate HD Edition is to release February 28 for £19.99 / €19.99 and will include Steam achievements, a leaderboard system, trading cards, and controller support. See the gameplay below.

February 20 marks the date in which the game makes its way to Steam, featuring various new features such as a multiplayer mode and new improved visuals.

The game will be released as Plague Inc. Evolved due to the new features PC gamers have in store, which can be seen below in full detail.

• Infectious Multiplayer - cooperative and competitive gameplay modes let you team up to fight the cure with friends, or compete in a race to kill the world.
• Contagious Content Creator - hit the lab and develop your own custom scenarios - creating new plague types and worlds. Bring your deadliest ideas to life and share them with Steam Workshop.
• Blinding Graphics - Including full 3D disease models taking you closer to your plague than ever before, city-cams showing humanity's struggle at street level, and the body scanner highlighting the full effect of your mutations, organ by organ.
• Deadly Data - Predict government responses with priority indicators, geek out with loads of new stats and graphs, and analyse your best strategies with end-of-game replays.

NEWS: New Shovel Knight Trailer Released

The 2nd trailer for the NES-inspired game also reveals its release date.

Originally starting as a kickstarter project, developer Yacht Club Games reached well over there goal of $75,000 with a final figure standing at $311,000. 

Today, a new trailer simply titled 'Trailer 2' revealed much of what players can expect in the final release, including various nods to classic NES titles such as Castlevania, Duck Tales, Mega Man, and Super Mario Bros.

The game features tons of gameplay mechanics gamers will find similar to the already mentioned NES games, for example the Knight has the ability to bounce on enemies using his shovel much like Scrooge did in Duck Tales: The Quest For Gold but with his walking stick. 

Noticable graphical influences include the rotating cogs in the background much like the ones in Castlevania III.

Shovel Knight is to be released March 31 on Wii U, 3DS, and Steam - check out the latest trailer below.

NEWS: Octodad Dadliest Catch Release Date Announced

One of the more bizarre games of late has been given an official release date alongside a new trailer.

Octodad Dadliest Catch developers Young Horses has given the game a release date of January 30, which will be available through Good Old Games, Steam and the Humble Bundle store.

A newly released trailer (see below) also reveals the PS4 version is set for March, but with no specific date yet known.

The video's blurb says the game is "about destruction, deception, and fartherhood.", and that Octodad's existence "is a constant struggle, as he must master mundane tasks with his unwiedly boneless tentacles while simultaneously keeping his cephalopodan nature a secret from his human family."

PREVIEW: Daylight - "Don't Look Back" Trailer

Atlus has uploaded a new trailer showcasing hints of the game's narrative as well as first-person horror gameplay.

Developed by Zombie Studios, Daylight will offer players a terrifying horror experience that utilizes the new Unreal Engine 4, which according to the videos description "enhances the visuals of your escape to freedom like never before, heightening every bone-chilling detail of your surroundings."

First of, we see a yet to be revealed woman wake up in a state of panic and confusion, and to make things worse - she happens to wake up in an abandoned hospital, complete with a huge Spider.

The hospital is said to have a "dark history" full of secrets that have been hidden away for many years - with only a phone equipped acting as the primary light source and means of navigation, it is up to the player to explore the vast building to eventually find a way out.

We see various paranormal goings-on in the trailer such as objects moving on their own and a very creepy ghostly figure that has every intention of creeping up on you to keep players on their toes.

One of the most unique features is the game's ability to generate different levels each playthrough, meaning environments will never be the same as the last, in turn this will make for massive replay value. Check out the new trailer below.

And now it actually has a stable release date of January 13 - the game pits players in various fencing competitions across numerous levels and relies of both intelligence and speed to overcome opponents. 

Nidhogg sports an Atari-2600 look, further reminding gamers its not all about the graphics. The game will be available on Steam only at the moment, with no mention of future releases. Check out the trailer below.
