Tankian joins a roster of metal legends that will soundtrack the next-gen shooter’s violent chaos. “What can you even say! We have so many System of a Down fans in the studio, adding Serj Tankian to our already incredible roster of vocalists feels unreal,” said David Goldfarb of developer The Outsiders....

This is the fourth year in a row the Spike Video Game Awards have seen their ratings drop.Varietyreports that this year’s numbers were even lower than last year’s, with about 627,000 viewers watching compared to last year’s 647,000. To be fair, some of the demographics were up. Fifteen percent more men from ages 18-34 watched this year. Here I was thinking that this was theonlydemographic to watch. Actually, adults 18-49 were up 12 percent....

The studio behind Friday the 13th: The Game My first laugh of the night at The Game Awards 2021 happened in a pre-show segment when we got a teaser for a newTexas Chain Saw Massacrevideo game. Don’t get me wrong, there’s some potential in that idea, for sure — but the trailer’s phrasing of a “multiplayer horror game based on true events” just cracked me up. The Texas Chain Saw Massacreis a collaboration between Gun Interactive (the team behindFriday the 13th: The Game) and Sumo Nottingham, and it’s based on the original film....

Like a less confusing Path of Exile? That thing you just saw was the trailer to Trion’s newest MMO, Bluehole Ginno Games’Devilian. I forgive you if you still don’t know what the game is, because that trailer explains exactlyfuck allabout it.

Bit less client inception happening now Many people really,reallyhate Ubisoft’s uPlayplatform. It’s seen as an unnecessary thing that stands between people and their games, especially when combined with a second client like Steam. Launching a uPlay-enabled game through Steam will actually only open up the uPlay client to let you then choose to launch the game – it’s all a massive pain in the arse. It now looks like Ubisoft has realised that, as the latest update to the client has made it a bit less intrusive....

Physical release coming from Limited Run Games Edia has confirmed a western localization for its upcoming retro compendiumValis: The Fantasm Soldier Collection. While the Japanese edition of the 1980s fantasy series will launch on Nintendo Switch in December, western retro fans can look forward to a fully translated edition of the trilogy — which will launch at some unspecified point in 2022. As we have previously reported, theValisseries launched on PC-88 and MSX platforms in the tail-end of the 1980s and into the early 1990s....

And so, as you already know: WiiWare getsStar Soldier R(Hudson Entertainment, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone — Fantasy Violence, 800 Wii Points), which will entice shooter fans by challenging them to get the highest scores within a two- or five-minute time period. The weakness here is that you can’t even play it two-player with a friend over, which sucks as shooters are best shared, but considering my excitement over WiiWare in general I’ll probably pick it up regardless....

The Renetti had a few days under the sun after becoming the best weapon inWarzonefor a few days. But that parade has ended, as Raven Software delivered a devastating nerf to the once-meta pick.

Only a few things are likely, the rest is up in the air So Nintendo is prepping another “Nindies Showcase” for us, and this one will be approximately 30 minutes, billed as the spring 2019 volley. It’ll kick off shortly at 12PM ET. No word was given as to what it’ll actually entail, but with Behemoth’s recentCastle CrashersSwitch port reveal that’s probably a safe bet for an officially official announcement, as is the potential release date ofA Hat in TimeSwitch....
