Play it loud!
It's time again for Nerds Without Pants! This week, JD joins us for a very special look at growing up in the '90s, and all the great games we experienced back then. So lace up your army boots, tie a flannel around your waist, and chug some Crystal Pepsi folks, because this episode of NWP is full of attitude and is so effing XTREME!
Available now as a digital only title for the PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii U.
The Cave is set to be released on January 22 from the PlayStation 3's PlayStation Store and the Wii U's eShop, and on January 23 from the Xbox 360's Marketplace and where viable from a PC.
An introduction to the seven available characters, and some other aspects to play with in The Cave.
A talking cave? Really? That's awesome!
With the release of a “mystery” screenshot the other day, Sega essentially let the cat out of the bag and practically told the world that they would be publishing Ron Gilbert’s pet project being developed at Double Fine. Today Sega and Double Fine came straight out and confirmed that Ron Gilbert’s secret project, titled The Cave, will be published by Sega in early 2013.
The game is confirmed to have no relation to the Kickstarter-funded Double Fine Adventure.
UPDATE - The Cave is confirmed to not be the official name for the Double Fine Adventure, which is being financed by their Kickstarter fund. The following was released by Double Fine: "While we can't comment on unannounced projects, we can say that Double Fine's Kickstarter-funded adventure game has not been started, designed, or even imagined yet. No trademarks have been filed on its behalf."
Lower earning forecasts are forcing the company to put projects on hold for social ventures.
The rough game economy is continuing to show its impact on studios around the world. Cave, known for their hardcore, bullet hell shoot-'em-ups are exploring their options after lowering both six month and yearly earning forecasts. The company's 2011 fiscal year, which began in June 2011, was expected to bring 3,300 million yen in sales, but has since been reduced to 500 million yen ($6.5 million) due to industry stagnation and cautious retailers taking smaller orders.
Falling somewhere between Mega Man and Metroid, this indie 2D adventure must be something to behold, right?
I'm ashamed to admit it, but until now, I've never played Cave Story. Not for free on the PC, nor for the low price of admission on the Wii or the DSi. It's always interested me, but I just never got around to playing it. Cave Story 3D has changed that for me, but in retrospect, I don't feel as if I was missing all that much. Unquestionably, Cave Story is a solid game and that's made all the more impressive by the fact that a single man, Daisuke Amaya, created the game himself. While impressive, this doesn't make up for the fact that the game is a bit rough around the edges.
One of the locales from Arkham Asylum will return to Arkham City.
Batman: Arkham City is chock full of content and the DLC has already included other heroes from the Batman universe; however, it is still missing one element that was present in the last title - the Batcave. While Arkham Asylum didn't feature the original Batcave, it was a Batcave nonetheless.
