Last of Us 2 Confirmed?!, Allison Road Demo reveal! Weekly News Roundup #7




Here is another round of news stories folks!

This week while speaking at a Metrocon 2015 panel Nolan North may have confirmed The Last of Us 2. When asked if North had any other projects coming up with Naughty Dog he responded by saying he didn't but knew they were working on a sequel to the 2013 smash hit game. Now Naughty Dog have not confirmed anything yet so nothing is fully concrete and since The Last of Us creative director Neil Druckmann and director Bruce Stranly are so busy with Uncharted 4 I doubt anything will be announced until 2016.

A small indie developer situated in Britain are working on an indie horror title called Allison Road and this could be taking over for Silent Hills. After Silent Hills was canned by Konami we've all been feeling the loss but after watching the prototype for Allison Road you can really see how well the developer has captured the tension and atmosphere created in P.T. So far we don't know anything on a release date for Allison Road but lets hope soon cause this game looks frigging petrifying!!

If your sad that all the Pip-Boy Editions of Fallout 4 are all sold out and you really wanted a Pip-Boy, don't worry cause all you need is a 3D printer and a Raspberry Pi computer. Redditor TheMCV managed to make his own Pip-Boy by printing the wristband with a Raspberry Pi computer inside. The computer runs a recreated version of a Pip-Boy UI and the only real downfall to the device is that it doesn't have all its cool dials its instead controlled by a keyboard. Still though its pretty impressive!

This week NetherRealm Studios announced a release date for a new playable character in Mortal Kombat X. On July 7th, if you bought the Kombat Pack DLC then you will be able to download Predator for you Mortal Kombat X roster of fighters. Predator will then be sold separately on July 14th. He may also be added to the tower challenges which will allow players to try the fighter before buying. Predator is the third fighter to be released along with Jason Voorhees and Tanya.

And finally, Bethesda's marketing executive, Pete Hines, announced the release date for Fallout Shelter on Android devices. When asked about it on Twitter, Hines replied "coming along nice, haven't announced a release date but should be out next month." which pins the release date in August. Fallout Shelter was released on IOS shortly after Bethesda's E3 press conference and is a game in which you build your own vault. Its a great way to keep you occupied until November 10th when Fallout 4 releases!

Batman Arkham Knight Review!



It's been four years since we saw the events of Arkham City transpire and now we finally have our last installment in the Arkham trilogy. Batman Arkham Knight shows us what its made of with a darker story, an open world and new gameplay features. While it does get pulled down with a good amount of repetition, Rocksteady have managed to capture how it truly feels to "Be the Batman."

Disclaimer - SPOILER FREE!

Presentation
Batman Arkham Knight is probably the best looking of all the Arkham games. Gotham City is a dark and grungy location full of destruction and mayhem. The feeling created by the city really adds to the tone of the story. The characters and city have been designed in a way that the create a sense of realism and the voice acting, especially Scarecrow, is superb.

Story
The story of previous Arkham games has always been on the dark side but Arkham Knight manages to go darker. Throughout the game you'll experience terrifying and emotional moments usually brought on by Scarecrow's fear gas. Most of the characters like Scarecrow, Two-Face and Penguin have all been redesigned or changed to add to this dark tone. The Arkham Knight himself adds a more "it's personal" feel to the story as he know Batman and his moves. This will provide a serious challenge for the player and on a larger scale the Arkham Knight is a great addition to the story.

Gameplay
Arkham Knight sees the return of the free-flow combat, predator sections and detective work of the previous games. In this game the combat has been greatly upgraded, Batman can now move faster, take down multiple enemies quickly and use objects in the environment for takedowns. Rocksteady have also introduced duel combat which allows you to team up with Nightwing or Robin and switch between them and Batman. Its a really interesting feature and the best I've seen so far. The biggest addition to gameplay is the Batmobile. The Batmobile is great when driving around Gotham being all scary and powerful but falls short when you have to use the tank mode. The story really pushes you to use this and after a while becomes really repetitive. Also it doesn't seem like something Batman would use and really pulls the player out of the feel of the game. 

Personally I feel Batman Arkham Knight is a worthy follow-up to Arkham City and ties up the trilogy beautifully. Though it does suffer with repetition issues, once you look past them it is truly a great game. Batman Arkham Knight gets a GAG Rating of "9.0"
