A picture of an intense desert collision is all we get for now, as Bioware released the above screenshot to Game Informer earlier this week, labelling it only as “Bioware’s new franchise”.
The game will be revealed at this year’s Video Game Awards show, which airs on December 10th on Spike TV, MTV2, and Spike.com at 8 PM, United States Eastern Standard Time.
For now all we can do is speculate, and the buzz on the internet is that Bioware may be throwing their hat into the post-apocalyptic genre. However, my humble opinion is that this game is based in a desert location, as some sort of meld between the science fiction and western genres. Think Red Dead Redemption meets Mass Effect.
Bear in mind, I know no more than you do, so what do you think this screenshot tells us about the game? Should BioWare just have stuck to its current franchises?
For those iOS gamers out there who can’t get enough of physics-based games, there is a new one which is bound to get some heads turning. Raccoon Rising has been announced for release on November 17 by Romper Games. Raccoon Rising will be a vertical platformer, physics-based games with a bite.
You play as a raccoon, platforming your way through robots bent on destroying your beautiful home forest-land. As a crafty raccoon you dodge the evil tree-crushing machines, stomp turtle cannons, and slice through robo-quids (who for some reason are also against your homely forest life), to liberate the animals of the woods.
In Raccoon Rising expect different touch controls than you have experienced before, excellent graphics, and over sixty challenging ‘gates’ in four worlds.
Make sure that come November 17 you have your copy of Raccoon Rising for the small price of 99c. Keep an eye out for the review on the site!
