3D Realms has announced their retro shooter Ion Maiden will arrive for the major consoles as well as the previously announced PC Platforms
CG writes: The creators of the infamous and classic first person shooter of yore Duke Nukem, 3D Realms team-up with Voidpoint. The Build Engine makes a return in the form of Ion Fury (previously known as Ion Maiden). Law suits from aged rockers aside, Ion Fury steps back in time to offer a heady mix of fast-paced visceral visuals amongst a first person shooter back-drop. The bottom line is, if you liked Duke Nukem 3D then you’ll love this.
Sean @FG: This week on the Finger Guns Podcast, Paul, Greg and Sean talk about the recently announced Nintendo Switch Lite, we dig into the PC Engine Core Grafx mini console from Konami, and give impressions on New Star Manager on PS4, Blazing Chrome and Sairento VR on PSVR. We also talk about the odd lawsuit between Iron Maiden and 3D Realms as well as passing judgement on the Shenmue 3 Kickstarter and whether backers should be getting a season pass.
Finally, we get to grips with Paul and Greg’s video game movie knowledge with this weeks trivia challenge.
From Blabbermouth: "According to The Daily Beast, IRON MAIDEN has filed a $2 million trademark infringement lawsuit against a video game developer behind the game called "Ion Maiden". The lawsuit, filed Tuesday by the band's holding company, Iron Maiden Holdings Limited, accuses entertainment company 3D Realms of creating "confusion among consumers."
As a Maiden fan, I watched the trailer and there are alot of blatant nods to the band and the themes of their music, the game logo is almost identical, if it were outlined in red it would look misspelled as the bands name....the main character is Shelly Harrison, the bass player in the band is Steve Harris....I mean cmon, dont be so blatant....
This just seems greedy and pathetic. NO customer is going to buy the game Ion Maiden thinking it's one of the Iron Maiden albums...
Fantastic game.
Lover playing the few levels they let me try.
Announced what? It's been on PC for a while now.
Darn I thought that said IRON Maiden
I'm definitely down for this
