Oxenfree 2 has been announced and I. Could. Not. Be. Happier!! :radio:

[insert super cool and appropriate new gif]

I really loved the first game from 2016. The devs are an amalgamation of ex-Disney and Telltale Games alumni.
The story was interesting, the dialogue was very well-written and natural and the art style was… Stylish?

I’ve been meaning to replay the game again recently and maybe write something about it. I’ve got a lot of fond memories about this title. Hopefully the sequel is great. Night School’s second title Afterparty really didn’t click with me and I never got past 1/3rd of the way through.

Ahhh man, now I have to catch up on the Indie World showcase! Hopefully there’s more details on that Card Shark title.

I am so ready for this. I’ve been waiting for this game since it’s announcement in 2019! Looks right up my street and another banger from Annapurna :green_heart:

This year’s F1 game just got announced.

Story mode seems pretty cool, but I’m worried EA might find a way to ruin the game with MTX. The Steam store mentions something called Pitcoins. Hopefully they’re just another way to purchase cosmetics.

Hmm I am not sure about the involvement with EA. The game was probably developed well enough before the acquisition of Codemasters in February. But still, this is the EA we all know about, so who knows.

By the way, the trailer itself is pretty well made! It reminds me of H3’s target briefing video with colors and silhouettes of characters.

Age of Empires IV is looking promising. I still remember how everyone was disappointed over AoE III and Empire Earth III.

Now with just a couple of hours left, a new trailer (or perhaps even gameplay?) for the upcoming Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown will be released. I am very excited to see what it will be like! :star_struck:

I know a individual on this forum who may disagree with this statement.

Looks like we’re going to have to wait til July til we get a proper trailer. Still, kindof excited, I love the first 2 TDU, a nice kind of blend of open world sim racer. Shame there are just so few racing franchises nowadays, so many just seem to end during the PS3 era.

The Great Ace Attorney 1 and 2 are coming to the West, officially, for the first time.

All it took was to change Sherlock Holmes into Herlock Sholmes.

Yessssssss! I can’t wait to play these! I’m such a fan of the series. Maybe Investigations 2 will finally get localized for a similar bundle!

Yeah, to name a few, there are Burnout, Driver, Midnight Club, and more during that period. Racing game can be expansive to make though, which is probably one of the reasons why they are gone. Licensed cars and soundtracks costs much, and mobile games become more lucrative and easier to make in recent years.

I do hope this sequel of TDU will make a change on this situation. There can’t be a better time than now. Forza Horizon, despite dominating the arcade racing genre, haven’t changed much for years. NFS won’t get a release this year either. The closest TDU experience you can get right now may be GTA Online and The Crew 2, but those two have different focuses from TDU. Say it’s possible to buy all cars, clothing items, and properties in these games, but I think TDU still remains as the ultimate millionaire simulator!

THQ Nordic and Experiment 101 have released a new trailer for Biomutant, due for release next month (25 May). Given we’ve seen fast-paced action trailers up to now, they anticipate the question and responded: ā€œWhy is it so… quiet… and positive? Because there are too many fast-paced, dark and gritty trailers in this world anyway. We are pretty upbeat people and Biomutant is a colourful game. So zip it and enjoy.ā€

The devs of the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance (22 June 2021 on Xbox, PlatStation, Epic, and Steam) talk about the ā€œemergent combatā€ system. I knew this was in development, but I hadn’t realised it was coming so soon.

If you’ve not already seen it, here’s a really good video by IGN, from about one month ago, giving some useful information on the game and hands-on gameplay.
