Goat Simulator Coming to Xbox One and Xbox 360 in April

It’s finally happening, Goat Simulator is coming to Xbox One and Xbox 360 in April. Announced today the wacky open world simulator will see players head butting cars and making gas stations explode. The short trailer below accompanies the announcement and sees a real goat standing on an Xbox One. What is more amusing that the ones behind the trailer had to wrangle in the goat to a green-screen room; hopefully he was plotting world domination while he was being pulled around.

For those who have yet to play the game; Goat Simulator sees you play as a goat that has a real sticky tongue, while jumping high and adding really bad physics, the game feels like Octodad with a lot more craziness. No solid release date has been set yet but you can be sure to hear about it with hailed applause as it lands on the Microsoft consoles.

A Touch of Classic Comes to New Final Fantasy Type-0 Trailer

Square Enix has just released a new trailer for Final Fantasy Type-0 HD that focuses on classic Final Fantasy elements, not only that but we also have a glimpse at the Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae Demo. The trailer below shows a glimpse of some areas within Type-0 HD, some of which seem to be hard level areas which will give some players a hard time without the right level; you have been warned.

The big focus though is the classic Final Fantasy additions, fans will no doubt recognise the Cactuars, Moogles, and Eidolons; as well as the always eccentric Gilgamesh that has appeared a number of times in previous entries. Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is launching next week on March 17 in North America and Marh 20 in Europe for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Day one edition also come bundled with a code for the Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae demo.

Octodad Goes Multiplatform This Summer

Octodad: Dadliest Catch is set to go multiplatform later this summer with a release across Xbox One and Wii U platforms. After a successful run on PS4 and PC the crazy physics fun game will be traveling across other consoles to give players the chance to cause even more mayhem. If you didn’t already need a reason to play the game maybe the slapstick comedy is enough to pull you into it. Though if the comedy isn’t enough the game is full of Puzzles which will keep you busy whilst the games general hilarity of Octodad’s physics baffle and excite you.

Not only will the game be heading to the home consoles but it will also finally see a release on PS Vita, and the developer is here to reassure that the port is still in development and apologises that there has been no news on it for some time. No release date has been set for all the new releases though you can be sure that once we have news for a release you’ll be the first to know.

Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage Return in the New Mortal Kombat X Trailer

 

Developer NetherRealm Studios has released a new trailer for Mortal Kombat X which showcases the Cage family, and seemingly confirms some new characters for the game that launches next month. The trailer below shows Sonya blade and her ex-husband Johnny Cage with newcomer to the series Cassie Cage, which unsurprisingly is the couples daughter. In the trailer you see a turbulent and entertaining relationship between the family, and also highlights the diverse new fighting styles for the trio.

Cassie Cage the new character to the series is described as limber and strong, wielding dual pistols in a brutal new way. It seems she’ll play like a cross between Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade, which could be very welcoming to those who can never choose between the two characters. Mortal Kombat X is due out on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC worldwide on April 14.

The Machinist dps role is the gunning class and not only uses a gun but also has an array of gadgets to help push dps or support allies. 

Recap over** 

How does the development team choose the new jobs?

  Before choosing a specific job they have to think about how it will play in parties and consider gameplay. First this decide on the role, then it takes one year to add one new job to the game. 

The second step allows the dev team to look at the role and how the new one will differentiate to the other roles in the class. 

For step three they consider player feedback, for example when choosing the Dark Knight the dev team were stuck between choosing Dark Knight or Samurai, in the end the Dark Knight was most wanted. 

Step four sees all the devs review the job actions, by playing around with them in game and determine whether it will work with the rest of the jobs. 

Step five is all about deciding which weapon the job will use; for example the weapon has to look good during combat and action while also looking practical while sheathed. 

Also shown off, were some early concepts for the weapons that will be utilised by the new jobs in Heavensward.

Not only are new jobs being added, but older jobs are getting a level cap increase from 50 to 60, because of this new actions and abilities will be added for both deciples of land and hand. A new system for hand being implemented called the specialist. 

Three editions of Heavenwards to be released, a collectors edition, a standard edition, and an all/in-one that bundles both A Realm Reborn and Hevensward together. Pre-orders being on March 16, 2015. 

Final Fantasy XIV will be coming to Mac, with a release coinciding with the Heavensward release.
