As showcased in the new trailer below, Firebase Z will whisk players from the subterranean world of Die Maschine and deposit them deep into a jungle outpost, where they continue to follow the footsteps of operative Samantha Maxis....

Here’s a look at the style After dropping the newsthatMega Man X1-8was coming to all major platforms(including Switch), Capcom showed off a vignette that reminded us of Mega Man’s past, stating that it would give us a clue as to where his “future” would go. Future merch? No, anewgame! Like theX Collectionit’s coming to PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. It’s slated for late 2018, and “more info” will be given out next summer....

And here I am still playing with 2e books I buy at consignment stores The new edition of the venerableDungeons & Dragonstabletop RPG kicks off its lineup with theDungeons & DragonsStarter Set. Think of this as the demo to the full game, as it includes a 64-page adventure book with everything a group of 4-6 needs to get started, a 32-page rulebook for playing characters from level 1 to 5, 5 pre-generated characters with accompaning character sheets and supporting reference material, and 6 dice....

That’s a Renegade action There’s already a platform casualty for a highly coveted remaster that isn’t even announced yet. TheMass Effecttrilogy remaster –which, and I can’t stress this enough, isn’t even officially a thing yet — won’t be coming to Switch. Can’t romance everyone, I guess. This comes via GamesBeat’s Jeff Grubb who has been at the forefront of all theMass Effecttrilogy rumors. He revealed on theXbox Expansion Pass podcast(and as reported byVGC) that EA doesn’t plan to bring the remaster to Switch....

On its surface, Planet Moon Studios’Battle of the Bandsoffers an experience that is as unique among its peers as it is hard to imagine. The idea of taking popular songs and re-imagining them in genres they were never meant to played in is an appealing one. Who wouldn’t want to hear Tag Team’s “Whoomp! There It Is” with a Latin flavor, or Soundgarden’s “Spoonman” performed by a marching band? Throw in a musical combat element, involving guns and rocket launchers, and it starts to sound like a real winner....

I’d buy that for a dollar! Devil Daggersis an awesome horde-mode style game that not many people have heard of. Utilizing an aesthetic similar toQuake, the game basically tasks you with staying alive for 10 minutes to achieve a high score. Most people don’t last more than a few minutes and fewer, still, have actually managed to break the 10-minute mark. It is featured in the newHumble Jumbo Bundle 7at the choose-your-own-price mark....

With Real Dante ™ Capcom is adding a few gems into the PlayStation Now collection, includingDevil May Cry 4(not the superior re-release), Devil May Cry HD Collection,Final Fight: Double Impact, andDarkstalkers Resurrection. The much-malignedDark Voidis also hitting the service, though I prefer the amazing retro homageDark Void Zero. I’ve been using PlayStation Now for a few months, and much like EA Access, it’s not bad at all if you pony up for a limited time and binge the service....

Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae Doujinsoft studio Zenith Blue’sMitsurugi Kamui Hikaeis coming to PlayStation 4 in North America on February 16, Japanese indie game publisher Playism announced today via thePlayStation Blog. A word of warning, as someone who played the PC release around the time it launched on Steam in 2014, I found the game to be a banal, repetitive affair. Other than a few lines of inconsequential story, the entire experience boils down to hacking apart waves of enemies in a circular arena....

Rad By way of V-Jump we now know of a new mode coming toDragon Ball Xenoverse 2, which is amazingly still being updated two years later in the wake ofFighterZ. Titled “My Raid Mode,” the gametype pits a raid boss against five players. The catch? The raid boss is playable. Evidently it’ll utilize an in-universe item called the “Dark Demon Realm Crystal,” and allow you to play as Mira, Fused Zamasu, or Demigra....

They’re only redeemable on Xbox, and players need them for purchasing items in the Online Store, paying their subscription and using optional services like additional retainers....

To keep us occupied they could remaster Armored Core 3… Please? A few days back, From Software took to Twitter to announce that theArmored Coreseries will continue and essentially told everyone to be patient in regards to a new game. However, they then followed up with anothertweetannouncing that a 20thanniversary dynamic theme would be released in the coming days. That day is now! However, youwillneed a Japanese PSN account to access the theme (Google is your friend on that one), which you’re able to findhere....
