  • Alien: Isolation™ Coming to Nintendo Switch
    Alien: Isolation™ coming to Nintendo Switch DATE: Wednesday, June 12th, 2019 CONTACT: Mary Musgrave at [email protected] Feral Interactive today announced that Alien: Isolation, the AAA survival horror game, is coming to Nintendo Switch. Originally developed by Creative Assembly and published by SEGA, Alien: Isolation won multiple awards, and was critically acclaimed for its tense, atmospheric gameplay and fidelity to the production values of the iconic 20th Century Fox film, Alien. In an original story set fifteen years after the events of the film, players take on the role of Ellen Ripley’s daughter Amanda, who seeks to discover the truth behind her mother’s disappearance. Marooned aboard the remote space station Sevastopol with a few desperate survivors, players must stay out of sight, and use their wits to survive as they are stalked by the ever-present, unstoppable Alien. Sevastopol Station is a labyrinthine environment that contains hundreds of hidden items that provide clues to the station’s catastrophic decline. As they explore, players will crawl through air vents, scope out hiding places, scavenge for resources, and deploy tech in a life-or-death struggle to outthink the terrifying Alien, whose unpredictable, dynamic behaviour evolves after each encounter. Alien: Isolation on Nintendo Switch will feature technologies such as gyroscopic aiming and HD rumble to immerse players in its terrifying world wherever they play. A trailer for Alien: Isolation on Switch is available now. About Feral Interactive Feral Interactive is a leading publisher of games for the macOS, Linux, iOS and Android platforms, founded in 1996 and based in London, England.

    A Important Health Warning: Photosensitive Seizures A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people with no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games. Symptoms can include light-headedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, momentary loss of awareness, and loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents, watch for or ask children about these symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely to experience these seizures. The risk may be reduced by being farther from the screen; using a smaller screen; playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when drowsy or fatigued. If you or any relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing. © 2019 The Codemasters Software Company Limited (“Codemasters”).

  • GRID – Quanta Fretta, Ma Dove Corri?,Grid Autosport in Arrivo Su Mobile
    GRID – Quanta fretta, ma dove corri? Sono passati più di dieci anni dall’arrivo di Race Driver: GRID, evoluzione della serie TOCA, pietra miliare dei racing game. Il titolo funzionava molto bene, portando su tutti i nostri schermi l’ormai classico riavvolgimento temporale e una struttura della carriera che tanto ricordava la storica serie Gran Turismo. Con l’originale GRID dunque, Codemasters si riconfermava come una delle poche software house a restituire agli appassionati la gioia del guidare digitale ma, con i successivi capitoli, qualcosa cominciava a scricchiolare. GRID 2 segna il passaggio della serie alla sponda dei racing arcade e con il successivo Autosport a un ritorno, in qualche modo, allo stile di guida originale. Tutto questo ha gettato confusione negli appassionati, accomunati tutti da una sola domanda: che cos’è GRID? Il nuovo capitolo, che potremmo definire remake dell’originale, vanta alcune caratteristiche interessanti, eppure qualcosa non quadra. Come novelli archeologi digitali, cercheremo di scavare a fondo per trovare la verità, rispondendo alla domanda fondamentale. … Con la partecipazione di Fernando Alonso Partiamo da un fatto: quando punti a restituire le sensazioni dell’originale GRID, sviluppando il titolo col due volte Campione del Mondo di Formula 1 Fernando Alonso, qualche aspettativa comincia a crearsi. Le sbandate (volute) con il secondo capitolo eAutosport , riecheggiano ancora tra gli appassionati, orfani di un titolo capace di colmare il vuoto tra gli arcade puri e i semi-simulativi. Il nuovo GRID ritorna a una struttura decisamente più classica, con l’intera esperienza suddivisa in tanti piccoli campionati (alcuni molto simili tra loro) a difficoltà sempre crescente, con l’obiettivo finale di entrale nella lega definitiva: la Grid World Series.
