Zero1gaming Editor Paul Izod caught up with Fat Shark Games’ Dan Platt at EGX 2015. Dan is Lead Level Designer on upcoming cooperative FPS title, Warhammer: End Times – Virmintide.
They took time out to discuss the nature of the game, how the cooperative system works, how the combat balances the melee and ranged combat, how wit has been working with the Warhammer licence, development challenges, loot systems and much more.
EGX 2015 may not have had much of a Vita presence, but there were actually 12 games there that are coming to the handheld. The Vita Lounge found those games and tells you a little bit about them.
Theres a couple in there that have me interested.. So many idies though smh.. The vita is so damn misunderstood and under appreciated..
Sweet to see some Vita love, too bad there is still a lack of big budget titles. Some of those look amazing though!
The video game industry is inundated with shooters, as the top performing genre for AAA output publishers have gone above and beyond to ensure they all have something to contribute to this crowded domain. However, despite this abundance, few have attempted to encroach upon the tactical field Rainbow Six masterfully showcased over 6 years ago in the realms of Vegas. Well now after a deserved break Ubisoft have chosen to once again fill the gap and provide a platform for players to show their appreciation of battle beyond quick reflexes.
