Two More Fighters Revealed for Tekken 8 - Hardcore Gamer

Earlier this Summer, we all received a rather pleasant surprise at this year’s Xbox Games Showcase with the reveal of Jusant, a “meditative action-puzzle climbing game” looked like a rather unique game to highlight at the show. The demo available afterwards surprised us even further with how well the game was coming along so far, expertly marrying together exciting climbing action and effective visual storytelling, as our own Jordan Helm noted in their look at it. Now Gamescom attendees get to experience more hands-on time with Jusant at the event, and with the game’s showcase now comes news of an October release date, meaning we’ll get to see the entire tower climb in just a couple of months.

The concept of “wilderness” is an odd one in the days of Google Maps and satellite imagery for just about every square inch of the planet, but looking down from a great height will never be the same as being there.  The map is not the terrain, and while there’s no place on Earth people haven’t been, there’s plenty we only passed through on the way to somewhere else, big and wide and empty.  The roads and freeways that connect people to where they want to be are countless miles away, and the only remaining evidence of a human touch may be a ruin here or an overgrown path there.  It’s not that the land is hostile to human effort, but rather completely indifferent, worn down by weather leaving behind jumbles of rocks, hills, rivers and other inconvenient features.  Traveling in the wilderness isn’t for standard cars, but rather big metal beasts designed for power rather than speed, and while it was fun to explore in Snowrunner, it’s about time to take a new approach to offroad exploration.

Today, Sony officially announced and named the PlayStation Portal remote player and it will launch by the end of the year. The retail price for the remote play device is slated at $199.99 and pre-orders will begin soon. The PlayStation Portal offers an 8-inch LCD screen that will run at 1080p resolution at 60 FPS. Smaller screens don’t require as many pixels due to the lesser area that needs to be covered, so 1080p for this will bring out excellent visuals. Players can expect the key features of the DualSense wireless controllers with adaptive triggers and haptic feedback. It will also include a 3.5mm audio jack for wired audio.

Since its humble beginnings in arcades nearly 30 years ago, Namco’s Tekken series has done things a bit differently from the norm while maintaining a sky-high level of quality for mainline games. Today, Bandai Namco announced that the upcoming eighth mainline entry will feature an all-new mode for the franchise – which is saying something given the many modes this series has pioneered over the years. The new arcade quest will allow players to create a new avatar and customize it as much as they want to participate in new challenges to improve their skills. The new trailer didn’t show off a lot of what the flow of the mode will be, but it does seem like it will enable skills to be learned and then tested out in tournaments.

The problem with gods is they never give a clear indication of what it is they want.  Good times and clear skies with just the right amount of rain?  The gods are happy and all is at it should be.  Storms tear through and decimate the settlement?  The gods are angry at… something.  Could be anything, really.  In the case of the builder his tribe decided that the things he was creating had to be the cause, so they promptly exiled him to a faraway island.  The small tribe living there took him in on the condition he gets to work, and seeing as his skill is throwing things together it’s not long before his new home starts getting a bit more lively.
