While we had known that Nintendo was planning on bringing the latest Fatal Frame over for the Wii U, we did not know exactly what the game would be called in the West until today when they released an E3 trailer as well as a release window.
Upon release the title will be called Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water and will be launching in North America this fall. As you can see in the trailer below, players must make use of the Wii U GamePad to see things they couldn’t normally see, such as hidden objects and ghosts.
While the main Tripwire team is busily working on Killing Floor 2, Anti-Matter Games and Tripwire Interactive are working together to develop Rising Storm 2: Vietnam. Continuing the tradition of realistic, yet accessible, FPS games, Rising Storm 2: Vietnam will plop players in the middle of the Vietnamese jungles where American helicopters rule the skies and Vietnamese guerrillas control the underground tunnels.
There will be great focus on asymmetrical warfare according to Tripwire Interactive President John Gibson. The US military may have the upper hand in weapons, vehicles, and technology, but the Vietnamese forces have the skills to slowly bleed the opposing team dry with ambushes and traps.
Tripwire has released a teaser trailer along with the game’s announcement. The trailer hits all the right notes, with a US patrol ambushed by Vietcong fighters in a rice paddy, while Hueys soar through the air and 1970’s rock music playing in the background. No word yet on a release date, but Rising Storm 2: Vietnam will be a PC exclusive.
Despite only launching last night during E3, it seems that the demand for Shenmue III was so great that it broke some new records. You see, after being available for funding for only nine hours the Shenmue IIIKickstarter hit its funding goal of $2 million meaning that the title has already reached the bare minimum goal to begin development for what appears to be December 2017 according to the “estimated delivery date.”
As is the case with most incredibly successful Kickstarters, a number of stretch goals have been added though oddly enough most of them simply involve different subtitle languages. Anyways, with 31 days left of fundingand currently sitting at $2,786,617, meaning that three of the stretch goals have already been released, we’ll likely see more announced but for now you can check out the stretch goals below.
$2.5 million – Shenmue 1 and 2 cinema shorts
$2.6 million – German subtitles
$2.7 million – French subtitles
$2.8 million – Spanish subtitles
$2.9 million – Italian subtitles
$3.2 million – Rapport system
$3.5 million – Skill Tree system
$4 million – Baisha Village expanded, mini-games x5
Razer announced a major update to their Razer Mamba line of gaming mice. The Razer Mamba and the Razer Mamba Tournament Edition will be joining the Razer Chroma line of Razer gaming accessories that support multicoloured LED lighting.
The Razer Mamba will be the first gaming mouse to feature adjustable mouse buttons. The Adjustable Click Force Technology lets players choose from 14 levels of pressure needed to actuate the button. This will be perfect for jitter clickers who need a low pressure mouse button. Like its predecessor, the new Razer Mamba will support wired and wireless connections. The battery is rated for 20 hours of use.
The laser has been upgraded to a 5G sensor that supports up to 16,000 DPI, which is perfect for gaming rigs using several 4K monitors. The sensor can be adjusted in 1 DPI increments, instead of the traditional 50 DPI increments. The Razer Mamba will be priced at $149.99 USD/ €179.99.
The Razer Mamba Tournament Edition is more affordable $89.99 USD/ €99.99. It is a wired only mouse without the adjustable click force buttons, but features the exact same 5G sensor and Chroma lighting system as its more expensive sibling.

If you told me that a brand new NieR game would be announced at E3 this year I would have quietly laughed because of how much I would love that despite the chance that it never would happen. Well, it looks like it is actually happening as Square Enix’s press conference featured Yosuke Saito taking the stage to announce that a brand new NieR game is in the works and is being developed with the help of Platinum Games.
Currently the subtitle for the title is being kept a secret as the game is still early in development but you can check out the announcement trailer below while we wait until fall for more information to be revealed.
