Alien: Isolation has finally been confirmed and Eurogamer have the scoop on the announcement trailer. Check it out below:
Accompanying the trailer is a lengthy preview article and video also by Eurogamer. You can read the article by clicking here and viewing the preview by looking below:
Alien: Isolation will be a cross-generational game which means it will launch on PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3 and PS4 and it’s due sometime this year.
As per SEGA’s recent strategy for the West, the company will be publishing more games using the Aliens IP. It was revealed a while back that The Creative Assembly would be making a game but today we finally have the first details as to what the game will be.
Kotaku have discovered that The Creative Assembly will create a game called Alien: Isolation. The new game will be a FPS due for release in 2014 and will be a cross-generational title.
The game is also supposed to take the form of a stealth/horror title and play similarly to games like Bioshock and Dishonored. You also play as Amanda Ripley; Ellen Ripley’s daughter.
SEGA are hoping to make up for the bad reception of Aliens: Colonial Marines by giving The Creative Assembly plenty of time to develop the title and have already delayed the game’s announcement from a proposed E3 reveal.
SEGA Europe have uploaded a “let’s play” feature on the Total War: Rome II multiplayer mode. The video features a nice, in depth look at the mode. Check it out:
A new Total War: Rome II trailer has appeared entitled Find a Way. The new trailer showcases more of the game’s story and gameplay engine. Check it out below:
The Creative Assembly’s Total War: Rome II will release worldwide on September 3rd for PC. Pre-ordering now also gives you the first DLC pack for free.
Also announced is a rather lavish collector’s edition (pictured above). Contained in the set is a numbered copy of the game, a Tabula set with dice, a Total War card game called Punic Wars complete with 58 cards and a Roman Onager catapult which needs to be assembled from a kit.
Check out the pre-order trailer for the game below which also details the contents of the first DLC pack:
The Creative Assembly’s australian division has closed. The Creative Assembly’s australian branch was responsible for Sonic Classic Collection on DS and the overwhelmingly poorly received Stormrise. The studio will close “later this year”. It is unknown whether the studio has any projects active at this time and whether they are affected by the closure.
The Creative Assembly have dropped a bombshell and that’s the news of free-to-play, online multiplayer game, Total War Arena. The new Total War game allows 10 vs 10 player matches and control of 3 army units of up to 500 men. Sounds a bit mad if you ask me.
No release dates have been announced at this time, but we’re assuming this will be a PC release that could be either a browser-based game or a Steam release. More on this as we get it.
Last summer, 24 year old James visitted The Creative Assembly’s studio has a part of a charity visit organised by Willow; a charity set up to give terminally ill a lasting experience that can help lift their spirits in difficult times.
James was digitally inserted into Total War: Rome II as a Roman soldier and he was allowed to interview key members of The Creative Assembly, play a pre-alpha build of the game and even put forward his own suggestions.
Sadly, James lost his battle with liver cancer shortly after his visit to The Creative Assembly but Total War community manager Craig Laycock was so humbled by the experience that he has said a few words on James’ behalf:
“What really struck me was how my colleagues reacted to James coming in. I was inundated with emails offering help with James’ day. The tour organised itself, as the guys around me scrambled to show James what’s going into making Rome 2.
James was remarkable on the day. His enthusiasm knew no bounds. He asked passionate questions and offered clear and concise suggestions on features for the game.
When I recently learned that James had died, it was devastating. Even though I had only spent a few hours in his company, it was absolutely devastating, because he was able to show us all here in the studio how passionate he was for our games.
And although he won’t get the chance to see Rome 2 released, he will live on in some small way in our game – and every time I see him I’ll be reminded of what a great guy he was.
In many ways, James represented what’s best about working in video games: crafting games that people enjoy and that stay with them. It’s why we all do what we do, and why we’re so passionate about it. He really brought that home to us.”
