Ever wanted to get a real in-depth look at cars, from the engine to the industry itself? Well if you have, Camshaft Software is working on the game for you. Automation: The Car Company Tycoon Game is going to give players the ability to make and market their own cars from the 1940’s all the way to the near future. But, with a game that size they can’t exactly release a demo all at once, so they are currently preparing a demo focused entirely on the engine aspect of the game, which is available now to those who pre-ordered it, but will be releasing to the public on April 22nd.
The video below gives a general overview of how the demo works by going through one of the 14 scenarios that will come with the demo. The demo is also designed with plenty of tutorials to teach the player everything they need to know, so that experts won’t be the only ones with an idea of what’s going on. If you have an interest in cars or feel like developing an interest in them check out the game’s website HERE.
Just yesterday Namco Bandai officially revealed that they were making a Dragon Ball Z game for the Kinect. Their naming team went all out with the game by calling it Dragon Ball Z for Kinect, but one thing that they didn’t do was provide us a chance to see the game in action or even any screenshots for the game.
That was rectified today however as Namco Bandai released a handful of new screenshots which show off various battles against key DBZ enemies and how the Kinect will be used in combat. The game will include over 100 different moves from over 50 different characters that can be played. As you can see in the images, most of the fighting will involve the player doing various poses, but that is what we have come to expect from any Kinect title.
You may recall that Compile Heart is working on yet another Hyperdimension Neptunia game. Of course this is great news, and the title of the game has already been revealed as Netpunia V. At the moment not much is known about the game besides the fact that it will be set in the 1980s and will feature the original game goddesses that were in the first title.
Compile Heart has opened up a teaser website for Neptunia V which can be seen here, however not much is even being teased at the moment, though those who really are eager to learn more can keep checking the site daily and pester NIS America to prepare their localization funds.
Some may remember that an intelligent modder implemented Kinect support onto the PC version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim only a few months after the game was released, and it seems Bethesda just loved that idea. So much so in fact that they are planning on bringing official Kinect support to the Xbox 360 version of the game for free.
This means that you can now use your voice to activate dragon shouts, fiddle with your inventory, your map and more. Now it is worth noting that the Kinect support seems to only feature voice commands, but now we can finally shout FUS RO DAH at our televisions and actually have it happen. Check out some Kinect voice commands in action in the below trailer.
It seems that the announcement for a PC version of Dark Souls couldn’t have come at a better time, as the game’s predecessor, Demon’s Souls, will soon have it’s online servers shut down. The server shut down has been pushed back multiple times but it seems that the time has come for even the servers to die, as Game Informer reports that Atlus will shut them down on May 31st.
Before the servers shut down entirely, Atlus will be holding two World Tendency events, with the first one occurring from May 1-15th and the second from May 16-31st. Might as well go out with a bit of a bang.
