General thread for gaming news that doesn't deserve its own thread.

Marketing it that way is amazing. I have both Senran Kagura Vita games sooo there is that.

At least they don't skirt around the issue, and make sure people are abreast of the game mechanics...

Always liked the concept of this game.

Evolve Relauches as a Free-to-play Game
A whole new hunt is here.

As of this morning, Evolve is relaunching with a new free-to-play business model.

Entitled Evolve: Stage 2, this new version of Evolve completely replaces the existing one. Legacy Evolve owners will have instant access to any and all content they’ve previously purchased right from the start, as well as additional rewards for their loyalty down the line. New players will have immediate access to a weekly revolving door of Hunters and Monsters, with plenty of ways to unlock characters of their choice for free, through Evolve’s new earnable in-game currency, Silver Keys.

In an interview with IGN, Turtle Rock Studios said there would be a multitude of ways to earn Silver Keys, and to directly unlock characters and perks. In addition to daily challenges, and rewards for ranking up individual characters and your overall profile, characters will also be given out as rewards for logging in on consecutive days, or by completing tutorials.

Real money unlocking options will eventually be offered in the coming weeks, but Turtle Rock is still working out appropriate price points.

The business model isn’t the only thing changing for Evolve: Stage 2 though. The relaunch also brings a slew of gameplay and balance changes that could impact match pacing significantly. Some of these changes include giving all Hunters the ability to dome the Monster, the Trapper’s new “World Scan” ability that gives the whole team a general sense of what direction the monster is relative to their position, and much, much more. Most exciting of all, Turtle Rock is looking to release four brand new Hunters over the course of the first two months of Stage 2’s life.

To be honest, I hope they win... if everyone would stop cheating I'd have fun playing competitive online games.

But what about the fun for the cheaters??? They won't be having fun if they aren't allowed to cheat!

Well the competitive mode sucks once you get past the 10 placement matches.

Even if they win, they aren't going to see much money from it. Just lol @ the claims of how much "damage" was caused in general. I think it's a pretty pointless lawsuit but we will see.

Lawsuits like this are normally designed by huge corporations in order to drain the operating capital/profitability out of the target company with a protracted lawsuit. It's a crappy way to act, but I'm sure Blizzard doesn't have much of a choice here.

Reminds you of anything?

What is The Girl & The Robot?

A girl trapped in a lifeless castle built upon ancient arcane technology, and ruled by an evil queen. One fateful day, she escapes her prison cell and encounters a malfunctioning robot knight that she decides to free. They must work together to unravel the mystery of the castle in time to escape with their lives.

The Girl and the Robot is a third person action/adventure game...set in a fairy tale world.

The game brings the thrills of classic games such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Ico, and pairs them with the sense of wonder and adventure found in animated movies such as those from Studio Ghibli.
