Hirilun, 3D Speed Runner Platformer. It involves parkour.

Meridian Wrote:Hirilun is a time-trial-based first-person platformer in which you will explore a dark and strange city. Run, jump, glide, sprint and dash to achieve the best possible time, and compete with your friends in worldwide leaderboards.

Hirilun is a dark and strange city, full of hidden places and high buildings. Although anyone can get in, only the fastest will achieve fame...

? You will need to move very quickly, running and jumping nonstop, going through all the checkpoints, and reaching your goal.
? You will be able to dash, sprint and plane, but use these skills wisely, as they are limited.
? Each level has a multitude of different paths; which will be the fastest one? You'll have to find out...
? Collecting the experiences that you will find along the way will make your timer stop temporarily. Still, it may not always be worth the detour...
? Compete with your friends and in world leaderboards that are updated every day.

Disney Classic Games Colelction CONFIRMED. Coming Fall 2021.

Bandai Namco will change their logo in 2022.
[Image: bandainamconewlogo-jpg.332301]

Here's a quote from the official announcement:
Bandai Namco Wrote:The Bandai Namco Group has decided to replace our existing Mission and Vision with a statement of Purpose. We will also introduce a new logo that embodies our new Purpose. These changes will be implemented at the start of the next Mid-term Plan in April 2022. With intense competition in today’s rapidly changing global market and increasingly diverse consumer needs, this decision aims to strengthen ALL BANDAI NAMCO concept in every region while leveraging the individuality of each Group company. Our ultimate goal is to further build the value of the Group brand worldwide.

They didn't even keep the colors. The new logo sucks.

This fan made redesign is musch better: https://twitter.com/FlintChestnut/status/1443772545594011648

EDIT:

Here, have another two ideas:

https://old.reddit.com/r/Tekken/comments/q1ci5x/saw_ujardsonjean_post_their_bandai_namco_redesign/

Moving on from Bandai Namco, here's Choo-Choo Charles. Just... Choo-Choo Charles.

Two Star Games Wrote:Choo-Choo Charles is a survival horror, open world, shooter game. Navigate an island in an old train, upgrade it over time, and use it to fight an evil sentient train that terrorizes your home. Charles is hungry; don't be his next meal.

In Choo-Choo Charles you're given the task of eradicating a monster known by the locals as "Charles". Nobody knows where he came from, but they know why; to eat the flesh of puny humans. You have a small yellow train, with a map, mounted machine gun, and an exquisite collection of bobble-heads on the dashboard. You'll use this train to get from place to place, while you complete missions for the townspeople, or loot scraps from around the island. Over time you’ll use your scraps to upgrade your train’s speed, armor, and damage. You’ll grow your arsenal, and (hopefully) become an unstoppable force, ready to take on the great and mighty Charles.

Rockstar Games confirmed that Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is a thing.

Well I'll be danmed, the rumors were actually true.

BTW, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy was already a thing before this announcement. It was a collection released in 2005.

Here's the launch trailer for the Crysis Remastered Trilogy on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.


Far Cry 6 is now available.


RE: Gaming news - ZpaceJ0ck0 - 10-09-2021

Both Toshihiro Nagoshi and Daisuke Sato are leaving SEGA and RGG. Masayoshi Yokoyama will take over as Director of RGG Studios

Mr. Yokoyama has been with the team since the beginning. He was a part of the writing team for every mainline number Yakuza game, directed Yakuza 5, and starting with 0 served as a producer on the series.

River City Girls 2 trailer. Game was confirmed at E3, remenber?

Did you see that lady with the red sports bra that's gonna be among the new playable characters? That's Marian from Double Dragon.
[Image: 70e.jpg]
For those who don't know, Marian from Double Dragon appears in the previous game as a shopkeeper.

Here's a commentary from one of the game's designers:
@tsulala Wrote:the redesign for Marian is based on her look from the old Double Dragon games/DD neon... it seemed like her whole character was just "gets punched in the stomach and kidnapped" needless to say Marian's not taking that shit any more

https://twitter.com/tsulala/status/1170945678400344064

What's interesting here is that this isn't the first time Marian is potrayed as a badass.
  • The first time was in Super Double Dragon where she's a police officer.
  • The second time was in the live-action movie where she's a tough-as-nails gang leader.
  • The third time was in the cartoon, where she's also a police officer.
  • The fourth time was in the Neo Geo fighting game based on the live-action movie (yes, that's a thing. A video game that's based on a movie... which on itself is based on a video game. Street Fighter fans should be familiar with this phenomenon, what with Street Fighter The Movie: The Game).
  • And finally in Spoiler:Double Dragon Neon where she deals the finishing blow to the final boss.

Adding her appearences in River City Girls 1 and 2, that makes it seven times in total.

I hope Billy and Jimmy Lee are also playable in this game. Either secret characters or DLC. Either that or a new Double Dragon game where Marian is playable along the Lee brothers (emphasis on 'new').
