A
Kickstarter update for
Dead State announces a release date, saying
December 4th is when to expect this this zombie-infested survival/RPG from

new patch #4 as well as a
preview of the game's soundtrack which offers five full songs. Here's
word:
That's right: on December 4th, 2014 - just over a month away - Dead
State will emerge from the cocoon of Early Access and transform into a
beautiful, fully matured game!
On top of that, later today we plan to release Patch #4 chock full of delicious,
gooey content, features, and fixes, so keep an eye out for that. Pretty sweet
Halloween treats, right?
Aside from Patch #4 going out later today/tonight, we plan to release one final
patch before the launch; after that, we’re going to focus our full attention on
fixing, balancing, and polishing Dead State until we run full speed across the
finish line. All you have to do is keep playing, having fun, and sharing your
feedback with us, and we’ll do the rest.

UbiBlog
celebrates the news that Far Cry 4
is gold
with details on preorder bonuses for the first-person shooter sequel:
Far
Cry 4 has officially gone
gold. That means it’s time to start planning your sick days and informing
your loved ones they won’t be seeing much of you when November 18 rolls around.
If you haven’t yet pre-ordered Far Cry, we’ve got one more last-minute bonus to
help sweeten the offer. Pre-order now from Amazon, GameStop, Best Buy or Wal
Mart and you’ll receive access to the Yak Farm mission, in addition to an
upgrade to the Limited Edition, which includes the Hurk’s Redemption missions.
(Don’t worry if you’ve already pre-ordered from these retailers – you’ll still
get the Yak Farm mission.) Get details on the Yak Farm mission, Hurk’s
Redemption and other retailer specific bonuses below.
We had a fun Halloween last night. The weather was very nice, which has not been
the case most years lately, though the turnout was still pretty modest, which
may have to do with the occasion falling on a Friday. The kids who came were
great however, and we decided it was the Gunnar-man's chance to
dress as a
wonder dog, which was a huge hit with our visitors. Hope things went so well
for everyone.
