Battlestate Games announced the the open beta for their upcoming open world survival FPS Escape from Tarkov will introduce player housing known as The Hideout. Each player will start out with a humble, bombed out shelter where they will begin to clean up and install basic utilities to make the space liveable.

.hack//G.U. Last Recode Announced for PlayStation 4 and PC

Many people attribute the .hack series with starting the whole “stuck in a video game/fantasy realm” genre and in many ways it also began the type of episodic nature that we see games today as each of the core storylines spanned across three different games. Thankfully it seems that Bandai Namco is going to delve back into the series as they have announced through the latest issue of Famitsu that they are working on releasing .hack//G.U. Last Recode for the PlayStation 4 and PC. This will be an HD remaster of the entire PlayStation 2 RPG series originally developed by CyberConnect2.

The title is being made partly due to the 15th anniversary of the series and as we’ve learned through the latest information, will feature a number of improved features as well as the standard graphical upgrades. This includes various things such as an increase to movement speed, item menu shortcuts, increasing the maximum number of items you can hold, applying various improvements made in the second and third game to the first game, and more.

Visitors to Nintendo’s booth at E3 this week will be the first members of the public to get their hands on the game.

Today’s Nintendo Spotlight: E3 2017 video featured new Nintendo Switch games for Yoshi, Kirby and Xenoblade Chronicles, plus new looks at key titles such as Super Mario Odyssey.

This year, Nintendo will see a constant delivery of great games for both Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, headlined by Super Mario Odyssey for the Nintendo Switch system. Players roam massive 3D kingdoms to collect Moons to power Mario’s airship, the Odyssey. The kingdoms around the globe are filled with secrets and surprises. Mario can don a variety of costumes and interact with his environment in many creative ways, such as by driving vehicles or exploring sections as Pixel Mario. Mario’s new partner, Cappy, gives him new moves like cap throw, cap jump and capture, which provide a fresh take on the classic Super Mario formula and define this new adventure. The game offers new locales like the skyscraper-packed New Donk City. Three Super Mario Odyssey series amiibo figures – Mario, Princess Peach and Bowser in their wedding outfits – will be sold separately and as a three-pack when the game launches on Oct. 27. These amiibo can be seen in Nintendo’s booth at E3, alongside two new amiibo figures in the Super Mario series: Goomba and Koopa Troopa.
