New The Order: 1886 Gameplay Captured from Twitch Stream

New The Order: 1886 Gameplay Captured from Twitch Stream

Outside of a pre-rendered reveal, and a cutscene-heavy trailer, we’ve seen little gameplay from Ready at Dawn and Sony Santa Monica’s PlayStation 4 exclusive The Order: 1886, at least officially. Today, however, the official PlayStation Twitch channel hosted a gameplay stream of the anticipated title, scheduled for release at the end of the year.

The footage – of which there is approximately 3 minutes worth – is a little choppy and the quality is lacking, but it’s one of our few looks at the game since its announcement and does provide some new insight on the gameplay. Check it out embedded below, and make sure to watch it in 720/1080p, otherwise it’s barely worthwhile. If an army got their hands on real-life thermite rifles, their enemies would surely be smoked… literally.

Get Yourself a Fancy Pattern Vivillon in Pokemon X and Y

Get Yourself a Fancy Pattern Vivillon in Pokemon X and Y

Since Pokemon X and Y hit the store shelves last October, over 90 million Pocket Monsters have been traded worldwide. That is more than 4 time the population of Australia in the tiny, yet lovable monsters. With the impressive 100 million mark rapidly approaching, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company have announced that a special “Fancy Pattern” Vivillon will be available for players in-game.

For those who aren’t in the know, Vivillon is a pattern who’s wing-pattern changes depending on which real-world region it was caught (making it the ultimate collection for the OCD trainer to complete). This new Fancy Pattern Vivillon cannot be caught in-game and is only available through the special event distribution that will become available once the 100 million milestone has been reached.

We will let you know when you can get your Fancy Vivillon (who I believe should be wearing some kind of top hat) so make sure you stay tuned to Capsule Computers for all the Pokemon news as it becomes available.

Ubisoft have released the first entry in a series of Developer Diaries for Valiant Hearts: The Great War.

Episode 1: Art & Emotion is presented by Art Director Paul Tumelaire and gives an inside look at the development of the game’s visual style within the UbiArt Framework, also touching upon the emotional crux and inspiration for the story. Having played the game recently, the connection between these multiple characters from different backgrounds, and the stories behind their fights for survival, redemption and love in the midst of WWI is truly powerful. Check out the video embedded below.

Valiant Hearts: The Great War will be available as a digital download for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3 and PC on June 25.

New Space Run Screenshots Highlight Ship Building

PASSTECH Games and Focus Home Interactive released a new batch of screenshots for the upcoming indie game Space Run. The game is a mix between tower defense and ship construction. The title stars Buck Mann, a space runner who transports valuable cargo that is particularly attractive to pirates and fellow space runners.

The new screenshots highlight the game’s ship building mechanics. Players will start with an empty ship and will need to continually add modules to their ship during missions to contend with ever changing enemies. There are 18 modules with two skills each that will shoot enemies, protect the precious cargo, and provide energy for the ship.

Space Run will be released for Linux, Mac, and Windows via Steam in Q2 2014. Learn more at the official Space Run website.

Minecraft: Xbox One Edition Coming in August

Bam! Time to hit the ground running with some hard-hitting journalism. Microsoft and Mojang have announced that the long-awaited Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will be available as a digital download this coming August. So now you can dig those blocks, and build those structures in glorious H…. Ok well not quite HD cause you know… Minecraft… but it is still awesome to finally have it coming to Xbox One.

External Storage, Real Names and More Coming with Xbox One System Update in June

The Xbox One is starting to feel a little like Adobe Reader with all of the updates it is getting. Next month’s upcoming update will bring two highly requested features – support for external storage devices, and real names for identifying your friends a little easier. In addition, new Smart Glass features are being implemented. These will allow you to use your Smart Glass device as a universal remote control, to log-into your account and to access the OneGuide. These updates will begin rolling out in June, so make sure your console is set to automatically download updates so you have them as soon as they are live.

Skype for Xbox One Gets a Sweet Snap Upgrade

Ok now THIS is cool. With the Kinect 2.0 and the Skype App for Xbox One have made it easier than ever to talk to (and look at) your friends, but there has been no way to play your favourite games while doing so… Until now. Finally, the Snap feature is being implemented for Skype so you don’t have to stop your marathon run of Titanfall just to talk to your brother in the next room. What an age to be alive!

“Max: The Curse of Brotherhood” Launches on Xbox 360 and Steam Today

Looking for something to play this weekend?Well Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, Xbox One’s story-driven platformer is finally making its way to Xbox 360 and Steam (why am I mentioning Steam here at Xbox Newsbeat? This article would be pretty small without it). We reviewed the game on Xbox One a little earlier this year, so check out our thoughts here. You can grab Max: The Curse of Brotherhood for $16.20 on Xbox 360 and Steam from today.

That’s it folks. Another week here of Newsbeat done and dusted, ad we got through it without any Ryse: Son of Rome or Forza 5 news! Did any of this week’s headlines grab your attention?
