Capcom Unity has word on an update coming to
Super Street Fighter 4
that will add some new characters to the fighting sequel, and new purchase
options when it is released at some point next year:
So with new
characters, battle balance, and a slew of other features that will be slowly
leaked out in the near future, I’m sure the question of price has been on your
mind. To that extent, there are two options of ownership, the digital upgrade
path and the stand alone disc.
If you own Super Street Fighter 4 or Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition, you
can download the update for $14.99. This will upgrade the game as is, with all
your data intact. The other option would be to buy the disc version, which will
give you all DLC costumes for all characters released until now, as well as
future content (to be discussed in the future). This option is available for
$39.99.
A
post to the Steam Community forums responds to a question of the value of
the
just-released
Shadow Warrior Classic Redux, as a user noted that
Shadow Warrior Classic
is still free
on Steam.
In noting the value they've added to the remastered version, Devolver Digital
reveals plans for Linux and multiplayer support in a future update to the game
(thanks
Ant and Parias). Here's word: :
Shadow Warrior Classic Redux
includes remastered visuals of the game and it's two expansion packs, native
compatibility with modern PCs, new UI, SteamPlay for PC/Mac, and Steam
achievements. Future features will include Linux support and Steamworks
supported online play.
The
Huenison website
offers links to purchase Huenison along with downloads of a playable demo for
this throwback arcade-style action game, which is offered with no DRM. Here's
word on the game:
Putting together elements from Arkanoid, Decathlon, Dyna
Blaster, Impossible Mission, Oil's Well, Pac-Man, Pang, Qix, Slam Tilt, Space
Invaders, Tetris and Vital Light, Huenison is a frantic-paced hybrid of shoot
'em up and colour-matching puzzle. All in retro visuals and synthetic sonorities
that recall the revered Commodore 64's SID chip.
Piloting a small mobile cannon back and forth across the bottom of a well, you
must cycle through your six coloured beams, firing at the descending onslaught
of corresponding coloured bricks. Missed shots bring the deadly zapper closer to
your cannon, and missed bricks raise the ground they touch. But this is just to
begin with.
With 25 levels, 9 different game modes, kick-ass chiptunes and a ludicrous
variety of brick types, Huenison is all about racking up bonuses and score
chaining. Your goal? To achieve the top position on the online highscore table
and, while at it, to save the world!
A
new Dev Blog for
Marvel Heroes outlines planned changes for the
action/RPG based on the world of Marvel Comics. Topics include fixes for the
defense system, work on tuning difficulty levels, PvP support, and more. A
separate update outlines pricing reductions for heroes and costumes, shaving
some nickels and dimes from the game's nickel and dime business model. Thanks
Massively.
Here's Valve's list of the 10 bestselling games on Steam for this week,
influenced, of course, by the kickoff of the Steam Summer Sale:
- Sid Meier's Civilization V: A Brave New World
- BioShock Infinite
- Borderlands 2
- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Legendary Edition
- Borderlands 2 Season Pass
- Civilization V Gold Edition
- Tomb Raider
- Left 4 Dead 2
- The Walking Dead
- Half-Life Complete
Someone posted a URL in the forums here recently for a site that will estimate
how much time it would take to play all the game's in one's Steam library. I was
afraid to try that at the time, and I'm pretty sure I already added enough games
through the Summer Sale to require another entire lifetime to play, so I'm even
less inclined to find out just how badly I've overcommitted in this area.
