MAX VERSTAPPEN MAKES HISTORY IN F1™ 2017 ON SHORT SILVERSTONE CIRCUIT FIRST GAMEPLAY TRAILER RELEASED

SYDNEY, 14^TH July 2017 – Codemasters® have today released a new trailer for F1™ 2017, the official videogame of the 2017 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP™. The trailer showcases Max Verstappen playing F1 2017 in the stunning ‘Hall of Fame’ at Red Bull Racing Headquarters in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom, ahead of the 2017 FORMULA 1 ROLEX BRITISH GRAND PRIX this weekend at the iconic Silverstone circuit.

In a first for the Codemasters F1 videogame series, in addition to all of the twenty official 2017 circuits being present in the new game, F1 2017 will also include four shortened circuit variations, including ‘Silverstone Short’, on which Max Verstappen drove the 2017 Red Bull Racing RB13 and also the classic 2010 Red Bull Racing RB6 during his time with the new game recently.

Max said of his experience playing the new F1 2017 game: “I really like the game and it is a lot more fun to drive with the new cars. The graphics are a lot better, they’ve made the cars more realistic, and that’s always good. I like the detail on the classic cars involved and it’s always nice to drive those old legendary cars. I think it’s a great game, it’s definitely a lot of fun to play.”

In the trailer Verstappen also comments on how the two cars feel to him compared to his real life experiences: “The 2017 RB13 feels really good in the game, with the extra grip, from the new 2017 car designs as well as from the wider tyres, resulting in faster cornering speeds which require more precision. In comparison, the classic RB6 is lighter, with a slower top speed, and later braking, and of course the biggest stand out being the sound of the engine.”

In the trailer Verstappen approaches the Silverstone Short circuit in trademark fashion, and sets a new fastest lap! The new trailer is now playing at https://youtu.be/fQTEkrIAGso. The four shortened circuit variations are available in all game modes, and can be raced with either the 2017 or the classic cars.

F1 2017 will release onto PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC (via Steam) worldwide on August 25^th 2017. Follow Codemasters F1 games blog and social channels on Twitter and Facebook for future news, YouTube for video content, and visit the product website for additional information. Further details will be released on the upcoming game soon.

THE OH…SIR! SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER SEASON STARTS NOW WITH POLITELY ABUSIVE, FREE UPDATES FOR BOTH TITLES IN THE INSULT-EXCHANGING FRANCHISE

AMSTERDAM – July 13, 2017 – The developers/nincompoops at Vile Monarch and frightened schoolboys at Gambitious Digital Entertainment today announced the Oh…Sir! Summer Blockbuster Season. The month-long celebration features free, potty-mouthed updates to Oh…Sir!! The Insult Simulator and its equally disrespectful progeny, Oh…Sir! The Hollywood Roast, on Windows PC and mobile throughout the summer.

New to the cast of Oh…Sir! The Hollywood Roast and playable now is Jane Blunt, the most sophisticated lady spy ever to grace the halls of MI6, whose razor-sharp tongue is every bit as deadly as her karate chop. Coming on July 18 exclusively to the PC version of The Hollywood Roast is a new custom voiceover recording modding tool, allowing insult-addicted players to bring unprecedented customization to their own characters. Then, during the first week of August, the free Small Screen Stars DLC will let fans hurl derision as modern YouTube idols, including JackSepticEye, ZombiUnicorn, EatMyDiction, ThinkNoodles and more.

Meanwhile, the original Oh…Sir!! The Insult Simulator will get its very own monumental free update on July 25 for PC and mobile, featuring – wait for it – the protagonist of the Postal series, Postal Dude. Yes, Vile Monarch has collaborated with the disappointingly polite people at Running With Scissors to bring Postal Dude to the game, armed with nothing more than a barrage of vaguely profane language delivered by the original Postal voice actor, Rick Hunter, no less.

If you’d like to fire off some of your finest insults to the developers, you can find them on Twitter at @GambitiousInc and @VileMonarch.

TACTICAL RPG TOWER OF TIME LAUNCHES ON STEAM EARLY ACCESS

New Polish Studio Event Horizon Launch Modern Take On Traditional RPG’s

POLAND, 13^th July 2017 – Tower of Time is an ambitious tactical RPG aimed at introducing innovative elements to the classic combat RPG. Developed by new Polish studio Event Horizon, Tower of Time offers players elaborate in-depth gameplay mechanics with a non-cliché narrative. For $14.99/€14.99, gamers will receive 15 hours of gameplay across 4 of the 13 levels of the tower. The team invites players to get a taste of their work and confirm that the full game will be available by the end of this year.

Tower of Time has a modern real-time combat system with an entirely new approach to character development and classic RPG inspiration. Event Horizon went the extra mile with the quality of the game to differentiate it from other run-of-the mill indie RPGs. With attractive graphics and battles full of special effects, all supplemented by handcrafted levels, the team have created each level with an individual atmosphere to support the overall character of the story told by the game.

Tower of Time is set in Artara, a world still devastated after a catastrophe that separated its races from the knowledge of their past. The story drives the gameplay system, and the heart of the system is the party, which consists of 4 characters chosen at will from 7 available classes. The progression of their skill is based on the premise that there should be no singular “proper” path of development leading to the creation of a super-powered character. Regarding the story, the Event Horizon team declared that there is no place for black-and-white morality in their production and have emphasized an engaging narrative and intriguing setting in which a developing technological civilization has encountered magic.

Tactical combat in Tower of Time offers a myriad of possibilities, but they also require careful planning and altering movements according to the current situation. The combat is in real time, though the player is aided by a dynamic slow-time feature, which is ideal for positioning the characters, changing strategy and creating combinations of the several characters’ skills. The battles are supposed to be far from repetitive – along with the diverse range of buffs, de-buffs and status changes or additional aids like summoning, the combat mechanics change for different encounters, such as in fights with “swarm” type enemies or bosses. Each elite enemy brings a new mechanic to the games, which the player has to learn and master.

To get updates on the title, the team invite you to follow the Tower of Time Facebook page and Twitter account. 

About Event Horizon

Event Horizon is a young developer studio with headquarters in Poland. It was established by a group of passionate people, who formed a team focused on creating the game, which would not adhere to the genre’s standards, but present fresh visions and introduce variety of innovations. Today, Event Horizon consists of 10 designers. The team includes both experienced programmers and artists with experience in working on large scale projects, but also young game designers. Tower of Time is the first production of the studio. A strategy game set in the same world is also among the studio’s future plans.

Full Season of The Lion’s Song Launches Today for PC, Mac and Mobile

Narrative adventure game connects the dots with fourth and final episode “Closure” coming to Steam, complete season debuts for Mac and mobile

Vienna, Austria – July 13, 2017 – Austrian indie developer Mipumi Games has today launched the fourth and final episode, Closure, of their narrative adventure game The Lion’s Song on Steam (PC, Mac, Linux). Parallel to this milestone, the full season of the award-winning adventure series debuts today on iOS, Android and the Mac Store.

The Lion’s Song is a narrative adventure game series about creativity and its demons, with each of the first three episodes taking a closer look at a fictional Austrian artist or scientist. Steeped in culturally vibrant 20^th century history, the game lets players travel back in time and gives them an intimate insight into the creative struggle of the young composer Wilma, the haunted painter Franz, and the genius mathematician Emma. The season’s finale, Episode 4 – Closure, will take players on a mysterious train journey that connects the storylines of all previous episodes. What stories will these four strangers share along the way, and where will their journey end?

“Each of the first three episodes of The Lion’s Song featured its own little standalone adventure with a unique protagonist, characters and narrative. Our aim was to let players dive into a rich world of fascinating stories with very different endings, which encourages them to replay each episode and take alternate routes,” said Mipumi CEO Gregor Eigner. “For Episode 4 we’re taking a different approach, bringing the first three stories together in a way that we hope will offer players a satisfying conclusion to the path they have chosen.”
