You Shouldn’t Be Here…

The trailer for Edge of Nowhere came out today, thought this scene made for a cool cinemagraph (no pun intended :p).

It’s a third person adventure being made by Insomniac (Sunset Overdrive, Ratchet and Clank) for the Oculus Rift, though the trailer looks a bit horror-ish.  You can see the trailer here.

Just a heads up, I’ll probably make a few posts from E3 trailers/gameplay if anything cool shows up, like The Last Guardian (IT COULD HAPPEN), or to make gifs like this.  I usually only post non indie games like once a month (Bloodborne, Battlefront), but I’ll make an exception next week since there might be a lot of pretties that I want to make gifs of.

So if you’re not into that kind of thing bear with me for a few days.  :)  There will still be indie games as usual.

Of course I might have to work the entire time, so don’t expect anything.

Defragmented

A 3rd person cyberpunk action RPG.

“Defragmented takes place in the city of Entropolis, a beacon of hope in an otherwise wasted world. Take to the streets, cast under the neon glow of the aerial tramways. Visit the local museums, where the art of hacking and body modification turns patrons into exhibits. If you’re feeling brave enough, venture outside the city and take a educational tour of Entropolis’ many farming domes.”

Local four player arena deathmatch in a pseudo Spaghetti Western world, with a mix of gameplay from Super Smash Brothers and Towerfall.  There are a few different modes such as deathmatch, capture the flag, and a mobile king of the kill.

The developer promises that all DLC will be free, which is such a refreshing change from what seems to be becoming the norm.

A co-op action game for two to four players.  While moving around the world you must carry around and protect a relic which restores your energy when holding it.  Shooting your laser drains your energy, so you have to balance between the two, and coordinate with your partner so that you don’t drain yourself of energy and get overrun.

A roguelike hack and slash which is really really hard.  So far there are two areas and you can choose from six different characters.   If you like pain you can get the current version of the game from Game Jolt.

“Each level is randomly-generated so each playthrough is unique and will never be the same. As you enter, you must search and activate all the marks placed everywhere which will unlock your way out of the dungeon.”

A hardcore action RPG which is still in pretty early development.  It’s being developed by seven second year students, and the dev blog is pretty interesting if you want to take a look.

Also, there’s a skill that gives you Diablo 3 angel wings!  =)
