Wronged Us is an upcoming horror title set to release in 2023 inspired by the classic Silent Hill and Dark Souls series. Wronged Us is being developed by Delusional Studios and you can peak at the gameplay trailer right here. And if you’re looking to try out the series, we have Dark Souls Remastered for PS4 right here!

The horror game had its gameplay teaser release during the Golden Joystick Awards, so worth keeping them on your radar for potential future titles that could be interesting.

Despite rumors on a potential Silent Hill game being sadly dashed on the rocks of fate (on account of Konami being the only company in the entire world allergic to the prospect of making money), its effects as a franchise have been strongly felt across many horror games today. Think The Beatles of horror games… Which is probably a better comparison than I thought considering creepy crawlies in games are a pretty easy way to freak me out! I mean, the spiders in Nioh? Pure unadulterated pasteurized nightmare fuel in pixel form! Feel free to pick it up from our store if you’re in a particularly calm mood and would like to ruin it.

Wronged Us sees the player as Isaac, a visitor to an unsettling rural town trying to find a missing person. The gameplay features a couple headless folks, a disturbingly tall bloke who looks like a white Kareem Abdul-Jabar and some totally not menacing cult-like congregations by a campfire… And by campfire, I mean full-on residential arson.

In addition to the game’s website confirming inspiration from Dark Souls in terms of world design, there will also be some stealth sections and moments of action. Let’s not mince words, the in-door bits of Isaac hiding behind a sofa and scrambling to blast at The Amazing Wall-Crawling Legally Distinct Monster Man has some clear parallels to The Last of Us combat and Resident Evil’s Licker enemies.

The graphics may not be as ultra-crispy-smooth as the usual fare you get from games of this size, but overall, it looks very interesting with the promise of an engaging story and moments of Hitchcockian tension-building. I think an open-world horror game would benefit from a more extreme Lovecraftian aesthetic and enemy variety over the more “grounded” domestic-rural horror it’s going for, but if the devs are making that choice knowing it’ll be the best way to tell their story, I’m all eyes and ears!

SOLAR ASH Pre-Order on Epic Games Store, Fans Wait for PS5, PS4 Pre-Orders

Since Heart Machine Entertainment pushed back SOLAR ASH’s original release date, they’ve now announced that there are pre-orders available on the Epic Games Store for Windows PC, many suspects that PlayStation Pre-orders will soon be available as there has already been a listing on the PlayStation Store France.

Solar Ash, developed by Heart Machine is a fast-paced, action-adventure platformer. So far it’s known for its vibrant graphics and scenery and fast-paced gameplay involved with the unique aesthetic style of the characters, it is a sequel to the pixelated game Hyper Light Drifter. PlayStation has described Solar Ash as a “Journey through a surreal, vivid and highly stylized world filled with mystery, high-speed traversal, endearing characters, and massive enemy encounters.” I’m not surprised, Solar Ash is an exciting must-have on wishlist type game.

No One Expects The Spanish Exposition: Horizon Forbidden West is the upcoming sequel to hit action-adventure narrative game Horizon: Zero Dawn. Developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, who have definitely not engaged in any attempts at unfair threats of legal action to maintain a monopoly on console-customizing skins, ever, not in the slightest, you’ll just have to trust me on that. Horizon Forbidden West launches for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on February 18.

Nadie espera el juego: In addition to Aloy being more realistic-looking and reactive than in the first game, which is no mean feat, Horizon Forbidden West will see a more expansive world. Lead Living World Designer Espen Sogn has claimed players will “encounter a world that feels more alive and more real than ever”. 

In a recent official PlayStation blog post, Bo De Vries (Community Leader at Guerrilla Games) details the game’s design intentions and features. Bo De Vries goes into a level of detail far too girthy for little ol me to squeeze into 600 words or less, but I can summarise some highlights!

The game will explore the cultures between two different in-game tribes, Espen mentioning the tribes’ different customs will play a role in communicating the player’s status in the world.

“The Oseram are a social and historically patriarchal tribe, so their animations are more about shoulder punches and high fives. The Utaru, on the other hand, are laid back, so they will often sit down together and be a bit more touchy-feely”.

In addition to touching on weapon upgrades (you can carry up to 6, including your trusty spear), Senior designer Steven Lumpkin claimed that different clothes you equip have different effects on your interactions between tribes. Clothing will mostly effect what items you can get in places alongside giving unique gameplay buffs, so I think it will mostly function similarly to Ghost of Tsushima (psst! Which we have!). Which is to say, you get to unlock various clothes that offer unique gameplay advantages depending on how sneaky or trigger-happy you want to get!

“Clothing reflects a unique style, as well as the materials a tribe has access to and knows how to use […] Hunters from the Nora tend to favor ranged combat and stealthy hunting. Carja excel at the use of traps and tripwires. The boisterous Oseram love fighting up close and personal with a hammer. The Tenakth and Utaru have their own preferences as well — and the outfits Aloy can acquire from each culture tend to reflect and support these unique approaches to combat” – Steven Lumpkin.

कोई भी मेरे हिंदी पाठकों को तीन चीयर्स की उम्मीद नहीं कर रहा है। यह बिट कहानी पर है: Don’t worry my fellow mono-lingual friends, just run the headings through Google translate and you’ll live! Senior writer Annie Kitain has reiterated this new Horizon world will see you “meet many interesting characters, trade for cool new gear” and prepare for challenges ahead. “When you’re out in the Forbidden West, our hope is that the story is reflected in every detail of the world”.

The post Horizon Forbidden West – Open World Details! first appeared on Get2Gaming.

The closed network test for Elden Ring went live recently and an abundance of footage has surfaced displaying various aspects of the game. FromSoftware has packed the network test with a whole load of content that gives insight into the ways that Elden Ring sets itself aside from its counterparts in the Souls series.

The Open World in Elden Ring; The Lands Between

One of the key departures from the Souls formula is that Elden Ring is much more open world. The open world in Elden Ring looks beautiful. The Lands Between are incredibly well crafted and detail rich, and this is only the closed network test. This makes me wonder how much more expansive the world will be in the full game. The enemy and environment design in this game is wonderful.

After meeting the Maiden and acquiring your horse, the map opens to you and you are free to explore. There is lots to explore outside of the main path. The map is filled with camps, dungeons, caves, and a variety of other overworld events. The rewards for all of them seem worthwhile and FromSoft have managed to avoid the trap open-world games tend to fall in to of having expansive yet empty worlds.

Instead, there is an abundance of secrets to find in varying forms, which FromSoftware have always managed to implement well in their games. Even more impressive is how they have implemented this design philosophy into Elden Ring’s open world. The classic level design that FromSoftware are known for is present throughout.

Camps and Settlements

The enemy camps act like small settlements that you must take out. This is where the game’s stealth system is best utilised, as it allows you to sneak around and take soldiers out one by one or else you risk alerting the entire camp. The game rewards you with replenished resources after clearing out large groups of enemies, so you can keep exploring without having to return to a Site of Grace every 2 minutes to restock. This is a nice touch.

One detail that really stood out to me is how the bosses will have an impact on the surrounding areas. An early boss will destroy parts of a cathedral to pursue you. The dragon seen in the gameplay preview will destroy trees and burn them away if they are caught in the flames. Little touches like this show that these hulking behemoths have an affect on the world too which makes the game feel more dynamic.

Crafting in Elden Ring

The crafting system in-game encourages you to explore and collect the various materials located in the world to craft items that will help you in your journey. This acts as a good incentive to explore and make use of the items you find. Instead of relying on drops or merchants to sell you consumables, they may be created using recipes and naturally occurring materials. Expect to collect flowers, look for animals, and buy stoneware to bake your balms and explosives in.

Oh and last but not least, you can fast travel from anywhere on the map to a Site of Grace, so long as you’re not in a dungeon.

Elden Ring is available to pre-order from our store now and will release on the 25th of February 2022.

With Halloween that just passed by, Ember Lab released an update for Kena: Bridge of Spirits that adds new spooky hats for the adorable Rot creatures. It was a grand surprise for myself and many other gamers to receive this update, especially for those who have completed Kena: Bridge of Spirits and want more content other than just playing through the entire thing again.  Without further ado, here is a small review around the event.

Patch 1.11 is here including improvements to photo mode, auto-save & world map. We've also hidden 3 Halloween hats in the game until 11/01!
– More auto-save slots.
– Photo mode roll.
– World Map can display collected items

Kena: Bridge Of Spirits – Event

This was definitely a nice small event for players to get on with, the locations weren’t too difficult to find, but that being said, they have to make the chests locations available for everyone to find upon exploration. It’s a fun little quest to do and I can only hope that there are more quests like this in the future, given the fact that there aren’t any side quests in Kena: Bridge of Spirits.

The collection of hats include a Bat headband ‘Hat’, a Jack-o-lantern hat and a Green Witch hat. My personal favourite, the bat headband hat, because it matches in colour and the aesthetic quite well. Like any hat in-game, they do need to be purchased with the in-game currency.

Searching around for each chest before the 1st of November came, felt like a race and was definitely a fun challenge to take on. Christmas is only around the corner, hopefully, they have an event tied to that, and for the Americans, a Thanksgiving holiday celebration as well.

However, it would have been nice for them to add a little more content, perhaps a DLC of some type for Halloween that has more than going on a treasure hunt. While the plot, fast-paced combat and visuals are at an all-time high for Kena: Bridge of Spirits, I would like to hope that they don’t rely on special hat hunts or cosmetics for the popular Rot, as a way to keep players invested in gameplay. That would be an awful shame and would eventually become a tiresome ‘grind’. Another story, spin-off or perhaps even some side-quests from the worlds ‘inhabitants’ would be nice.

Metroid Prime 3 was originally going to be an open-world game before being faced with hardware complications

Bryan Walker, who was Retro’s director of development and a producer before his departure in 2012, shared the details during a lengthy video interview with Kiwi Talkz. According to Walker, Metroid Prime’s series director Mark Pacini had come up with never-seen-before plans for the third game in the Metroid Prime series. Some aspects of this concept were actually prototyped, but ultimately the vision of an open-world Metroid game was scrapped due to hardware difficulties.

In an interview with Kiwi Talkz, Walker has talked with regards to the development of the scrapped game in which Samus’ ship would be available to explore in an open world fashion. He has said, “We wanted to a great degree leverage the ship as a playable asset, and we had that to some degree in Prime 3 but Mark [Pacini, Metroid Prime series director] was thinking much more ambitiously,” Walker explained during the interview. “There was also an open world that was much less linear that he was proposing and the team was excited about.” Sadly, these plans proved too ambitious for the relatively limited hardware of the Wii, in comparison to the competitors of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

“We knew what the Xbox 360 was going to have, when knew what the PS3 was going to have and the initial specs we were looking at [for Wii] were not competitive from a hardware and memory standpoint… there were all these disadvantages,” he said.

Walker added how he felt Retro Studios may have “fallen short” of the goals he had, in regards to the inclusion of an open-world design within Prime 3, and the title not being able to “expand the formula”. Despite this, the team is still incredibly proud of the third entry and thinks it’s a “fantastic” game. Though, he still does wonder how fans would have received this “open-world” idea if it was released.

While neither Walker nor Pacini are at Retro Studios today, the concept could shape towards where Metroid Prime 4 could go. There are rumors that Nintendo have in which they hope to remaster the original 2002 Metroid Prime for the Switch next year. Additionally, Retro Studios is at work with Metroid Prime 4, though it’s unclear of when a specific release date. In the meantime, players can look forward to the 2D-style Metroid Prime Dread, which is set for release alongside the new Nintendo Switch OLED model later this month.

Legend of Zelda

The Wii U game’s “open world” is as big as the system can handle. They’re pulling out the big guns!

“A huge, seamlessly unfolding world is something that can’t be achieved if the hardware isn’t advanced enough,”. “Ever since we made the very first generation of Legend of Zelda games though, we’ve had as large a world as can be realized with the hardware, so you could say it was inevitable that we’ve now done the same with the new Wii U title. This was aired to Gamereactor Magazine by longtime series producer, Eiji Aonuma.

The Legend of Zelda for Wii U, which doesn’t have an official title beyond this as of yet, was unveiled at 2014’s E3. It was referred to by the public as being an open-world game, due to the scale given of what was on show. However, Aonuma takes issue with this description because because “Zelda games have always allowed you to roam and explore a huge world.”, not because that this public description is inaccurate.

“What’s changed now is that the hardware has progressed to the point that you can now explore this vast world seamlessly; the underpinning of the game hasn’t changed,” Aonuma explains, regarding what distinguishes the open world seen in this game from that of previous Zeldas. The new open world is practically seamless!

Alongside Shigeru Miyamoto, Aonuma gave a demonstration of the game back in December 2014. Miyamoto then put the size of the game world in perspective, saying that the whole of Twilight Princess’ map would represent only one area in the new game. As you’d probably have gathered, given that scale, there will be plenty of side quests to do, which is always an added bonus! We’re looking forward to this one!

The game is expected to be out at some point this year, so keep your eyes and ears open!

Worlds Adrift

The new open-world adventure game from Bossa Studios

Worlds Adrift is the brand new open-world and atmospheric adventure game from Surgeon Simulator developer, Bossa Studios. They gave the news earlier this month when their debut title, Surgeon Simulator, reached 2m in sales. The team announced their new game on it’s website last week and are also in the midst of developing it’s Steam Early Access release and upcoming mobile effort, I Am Bread! I think we’re all looking forward to that one as well!

Producer, Herb Liu, has spoken on the matter – “One thing that’s always been really important to the vision of the game is the atmosphere. Lots of things contribute to how you feel when you’re in a game, but perhaps none more than the art style.”

“Besides stylizing everything with low poly counts and flat colours, we’re trying to make sure the soft dynamic lighting gives Worlds an illustrated feel. You’ll see in the video the day/night cycle gives the environment a different feel during the day and compared with the night. The game will also definitely play differently depending on the time of day.”

There has been no word as of yet on a release date, but Worlds Adrift is in developments for Windows PC. You can watch the game-play which Lui has referenced HERE, on our ‘Exciting Game Trailers’ playlist on YouTube.
