With Doom Eternal now releasing a little over two months from now id Software and Bethesda Softworks have opted to release the second official trailer for the game that gives players not only a sampling of what to expect in the game’s story but also a better look a the Doom Slayer himself alongside some action packed gameplay.
You can check out the trailer below and can keep an eye out for Doom Eternal when it is released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and even the Stadia on March 20th with a Switch version coming at a later date and it is worth noting that all pre-orders of the game net players a digital version of Doom 64 which will be released on the same day as the main game.
Throughout the years we have seen many versions of Steins;Gate arrive in the West and most recently Spike Chunsoft has even brought the Nintendo Switch version of the darker sequel Steins;Gate 0 to the Nintendo Switch after releasing it on other platforms years prior. However alongside this darker release the company also brought a game that fans in the West have never been able to play that is far more comedic and light-hearted in nature, even compared to the original game. Steins;Gate: My Darling’s Embrace has finally made its way to English audiences and embraces the more comedic side of the story by focusing on giving players the chance to experience the game as a romantic visual novel rather than a drama. So with plenty of popular characters that fans have known for years now given their own routes, is Steins;Gate: My Darling’s Embrace a worthwhile spin-off?
Story
Although Steins;Gate: My Darling’s Embrace is quite different from the original and 0, it still relies on the player already having previous knowledge about the series to best enjoy. This is primarily due to the fact that, as a romance game, players will be watching the story unfold around their favorite characters and knowing what happens in the series is mostly required for the best experience here. That being said, this version doesn’t have as much of a barrier to entry primarily due to being more comedy and character oriented rather than focusing on world threatening plots and dark twists.
Okabe Rintaro may suffer from some extreme delusions of grandeur but if it is one thing that his Future Gadget Lab has managed to accomplish, it is creating a way to manipulate the past through D-Mails, text messages that can be sent to the past to change the future. Generally only Rintaro is able to recognize that the world has shifted due to the groups’ actions but this time around things are different. Not only does he find himself in the middle of a party where the lab members are unveiling a slew of odd gadgets that they have been working on that Rintaro doesn’t remember but also the “official lab mems” now include a variety of other characters that he doesn’t remember letting join.
Like many visual novels, especially ones focused around dating, Steins;Gate: My Darling’s Embrace features a lengthy and very enjoyable common route that sees Rintaro, and the player, experiencing a number of events that appear quite different from the normal timeline, including the creation of bracelets that tie Rintaro and Kurisu together or risk electrocution if they argue or get too far away from one another. This strange turn of events gets the ball rolling on the numerous comedic events and back and forth banter between characters fans have come to love through the core series.
This focus on humor and character interaction is at its best here and when players make their choice to go down any of the multiple story routes available, the chosen girl will be given even more time to shine, giving fans of the series a chance to see just how things end up between Rintaro and the various girls around him. The actual choices to enter a route are as simple as one may expect in dating visual novel so players won’t need to worry too much about complex choices outside of one specific route that does take a bit extra to obtain.
It is worth noting that there really is no high stakes drama to be found in Steins;Gate: My Darling’s Embrace as the shocking twists that saw the original’s goofy antics turn serious don’t exist here, instead players will find comedy and romance as the main goal here. This may divide some fans but those looking for more of their favorite characters will be pleased with what is on offer here, especially when it comes to a few routes in particular that truly shine apart from the rest. We won’t say who exactly, but two of these characters’ routes are an extraordinary read and will certainly delight any fan of the series.
Gameplay
In many ways Steins;Gate: My Darling’s Embrace still plays similar to the original release with players having access to Rintaro’s cell phone during all conversations in the game. The cell phone can be accessed at any time during dialogue and players can even respond to various text messages they receive from characters within a certain period of time. As mentioned before, the actual choices players make that play a role in the game’s routes are mostly simple in nature so don’t expect too much complexity here.
The TIPS section once again makes an appearance and allows players to read up on various phrases and science terms that are spoken by the characters in the game. These range from being tidbits of info about real items and locations to internet slang to completely fictional science and objects created in the game’s universe.
Visuals & Audio
Returning fans of the series will be delighted to hear that the art style remains the same here as many of the character portraits are as detailed as before, though they may simply be re-used from the original release, but alongside these standard character portraits comes a slew of new CGs that appear throughout the story all matching the same quality fans have come to expect from the series. These include various ones that appear throughout the common route to ones that are only unlocked on specific romantic paths so players will need to play through a few times to unlock everything. That being said, the UI does seem to have been given only the briefest of thoughts in this version as it is kept to a bare minimum, even on the menu screen.
Once again all of the original Japanese voice actors have reprised their roles here in this spin-off which is presented with Japanese voice over only and as far as the soundtrack goes, there are a few tracks that appear to be re-used from the core game but a number of new tracks have been added into the fold as well to better match some of the themes of this spin-off.
Overall
Steins;Gate: My Darling’s Embrace may not have the twists that the series is known for but what it does have is the same quality of writing that fans have come to expect from the series. This does mean that the game is a bit simpler as a whole but it is also one that lets fans see some of their favorite characters in a mostly brand new story that is filled with signature comedy and helps expand upon some characters more than they ever were before, especially in the case of a few outstanding character routes.

SYDNEY – Jan. 15, 2020 – Jill Valentine is the central
“S.T.A.R.” of Resident Evil 3, but she’s not alone as Raccoon
City’s final chapter unfolds. The survival horror game also features a colorful
cast of friends, foes and bloodthirsty adversaries amidst a city ravaged by the
devastating effects of the T-virus. Today, Capcom released a new cinematic
trailer, screenshots and artwork that reveal more of the action-packed drama in
the game, featuring closer looks at additional key characters. Jill’s
unofficial partner Carlos Oliveira (depending on who you ask), the rest of the
Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (U.B.C.S.) platoon, the Hunter enemy,
and the game’s unstoppable Nemesis, all have major parts to play when Resident
Evil 3 releases on April 3.
Fans got just a quick glimpse of Nemesis
swathed in a wall of fire when Resident Evil 3 was announced in
December – new art assets today show how truly devastating he can be. Umbrella
Corp.’s unrelenting bioweapon hunts Jill with an arsenal of heavy duty weapons,
including an enormous flame thrower and a laser-guided rocket launcher that
leave little hope for escape. In addition to its hardware, a new screenshot
depicts Nemesis’ elongated tentacle mutation that strikes with lethal accuracy.
These grotesque protrusions only emerge as the black bandages obscuring
Nemesis’ mutilated form fall apart to reveal the results of Umbrella’s cruel
experimentation. Jill tries multiple times to destroy Nemesis, but thanks to
its highly regenerative capabilities, it keeps coming back stronger than
before.
While Jill is perfectly capable of taking care
of herself, looking out for her six is Carlos Oliveira, a U.B.C.S.
member experienced with guerilla warfare, proficient with various weapons, and
trained to fly small aircraft. His team arrived in Raccoon City expecting an
easy evacuation mission, but were quickly overwhelmed. As Carlos organizes
their extraction, his courage and sense of justice compel him to go beyond his
orders to uncover the truth about Umbrella Corp.’s devious actions. The latest
assets depict Carlos’ harrowing ordeal in Raccoon City, including moments where
players take control of the character throughout Resident Evil 3.
The new trailer and screenshots also provide a
closer look at more of the characters in Resident Evil 3:
Brad Vickers – He
is one of the sole survivors of the Mansion Incident (depicted in the
original Resident Evil) and helped with investigations into Umbrella Corp.
As one of the last surviving members of S.T.A.R.S. in Raccoon City, he’s
also in Nemesis’ sights.
Mikhail Victor – The
U.B.C.S. commanding officer is a leader with years of military and
commanding experience. Mikhail was seriously injured in his team’s mission
to evacuate survivors from Raccoon City. Despite his dire circumstance, he
still does as much as he can to help civilians and his platoon. It is his
compassion to save Raccoon City’s citizens that convince Jill to help
their cause.
Nicholai Ginovaef – This
U.B.C.S. team leader is incredibly resilient, cold and calculating,
willing to make the necessary sacrifices for the mission and his own
benefit. Nicholai dismisses Jill as a “bleeding heart” who will get
herself killed.
Tyrell Patrick – This
U.B.C.S. member is a seasoned veteran specializing in hacking and
disabling security devices. Tyrell provides invaluable support from behind
the lines.
Murphy Seeker – This
U.B.C.S. member and former U.S. Marine is an exceptional sniper. Like
Mikhail, he also gets seriously injured during the Raccoon City mission.
Dario Rosso – A
civilian Jill encounters in a warehouse in uptown Raccoon City who is
reeling from the shock of losing his family. Dario rejects Jill’s pleas to
escape the crumbling city.
Hunter enemy – Both
Jill and Carlos will encounter this terrifying new monster in Resident
Evil 3. These bioweapons were created by combining the genetic material of
humans and reptiles, creating an incredibly fast and powerful adversary.
About Resident Evil 3
Resident Evil 3 stars Jill Valentine – one of video games’
most iconic heroines – as she escapes from a crumbling Raccoon City while being
pursued by the unrelenting bioweapon Nemesis. Players can also participate in
previously untold Umbrella experiments on the outskirts of Raccoon City in the
included online asymmetrical multiplayer game Resident Evil Resistance. The
horrific settings from the original game and new content come to life as never
before with RE Engine, previously utilized to create the acclaimed Resident
Evil 7 biohazard, Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry 5 with
high-definition graphics and modernized gameplay mechanics. Resident Evil
3 will be available on PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the
Xbox One family of devices including Xbox One X and Steam on April 3,
2020.

Nom Nom Apocalypse Cooks Up a Monster Mash on
Steam and Consoles in 2020
Mutant Foods Attack on Steam 13 Feb.
MELBOURNE – 14 Jan. 2020
–Nom Nom
Apocalypse, the top-down roguelite
shooter set in a post-apocalyptic city plagued by mutant food monstrosities,
serves up a delicious dose of arcade action 13 Feb. 2020 on Steam for PC, with Xbox One and Nintendo Switch™
releases planned for later in the year.
As mutant monsters from the grocery shelves descend upon the city, humanity bakes a last-ditch bid to save the world. Suit up as one of many trigger-happy chefs with character-specific powers and prepare for a showdown with ferocious food in this love letter to classic monster movies.
Survive the
foodpocalypse with an arsenal of over 30 culinary weapons, like the rapid-fire
Ketchup Squirter, shotgunning Mustard Blaster, and as-seen-on-TV Fork Crossbow.
Master twin-stick controls as cooks run-and-gun their way through hand-crafted
levels with spicy procedural surprises like greasy oil slicks, sticky candy
puddles, traps, and other hazards.
Defend the homefront
against a host of mutant munchies by bringing along a hungry friend in couch
co-op, or recruit allies from afar with Steam Remote Play Together. Mix and
match 45 game-changing perks like Iron Aprons, flame-trailing dodgerolls, and
kill streak bonuses to complement abilities like giant rolling pins and bubble
gum shields. Wage war against surprise mini-bosses and fast-moving enemy
hordes. The longer chefs survive, the more frantic the feast becomes.
Josh Sacco of Deadleaf Games brings years of experience from beloved Dreamworks game titles tothis homage to kaiju films and creature features of the ‘50s. Enormous
bosses emerge with Hollywood flair to epic theatrical tunes. From towering
breakfast skillets with fangs and bacon arms to sentient sugar-coated
nightmares, Nom Nom Apocalypse pops off the screen with all the bombast
and terror of its forebears.
“There’s an earnest
creativity behind classic monster movies I find truly inspiring,” said Josh
Sacco, owner, Deadleaf Games. “For my first independent game, I wanted to
channel this campy history with creepy yet cute monsters and eye-popping art,
but these dressings bely a tough-as-nails arcade shooter demanding focus,
precision, and perseverance.”
Nom Nom Apocalypse will launch worldwide on Steam for PC on 13 Feb. 2020, with Xbox One and
Nintendo Switch releases planned for 2020. This chaotic five-courser will
support English, Spanish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Korean
localizations.

VII REMAKE and have been waiting patiently to experience what we have been
working on. In order to ensure we deliver a game that is in-line with our
vision, and the quality that our fans who have been waiting for deserve, we
have decided to move the release date to April 10, 2020.
We
are making this tough decision in order to give ourselves a few extra weeks to
apply final polish to the game and to deliver you with the best possible
experience. I, on behalf of the whole team, want to apologize to everyone, as I
know this means waiting for the game just a little bit longer.
Thank
you for your patience and continued support” – Yoshinori Kitase,
Producer of FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE.
FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE will be available for the
PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system from 10th April 2020.
