\"In<\/a> Single-player games are dead, once again: the silly meaningless nonsense<\/a> is now stated by Cevat Yerli, CEO of a more than well known developer (Crytek<\/em>) that would like to spend the rest of his life making free-to-play games and always-connected titles even when you play alone<\/a>. The idea is ludicrous, of course<\/a>, and the dumbasses ready to repeat stupid things hoping that someone believe them<\/strong> will always be forced to deal with a reality of wrong design choices<\/a>, merciless hacks<\/a> and disastrous launches<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag<\/strong><\/p>\n

After Assassin’s Creed III<\/a> and its American Revolution, the new episode of the action-adventure series by Ubisoft<\/em> will feature an assassin whose job is to be a pirate – or a pirate trained by the assassins, make your choice. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag<\/strong><\/em> will have a double adventure-sci-fi nature faithful to the saga but will offer a good amount of new gaming opportunities<\/a> including shark hunting<\/strong>, ship broadsiding<\/a> and much more. Available on October 2013 for PC Windows, PS3, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 4. Note: the trailers below are in Italian, follow the links above for the English ones.<\/p>\n

Broken Age<\/strong><\/p>\n

The game previously known only as a generic “Double Fine Adventure” finally has its own title and web site<\/a>: Broken Age<\/strong><\/em> is the work resulting from the extraordinary success<\/a> of the crowdfunding campaign by Tim Shafer and friends, a point&click graphic adventure centered on two parallel lives<\/a> with the same desire to escape from a pre-defined reality<\/strong>. The game’s graphics is stylish<\/a>, the development phase has been intense<\/a> and the release time is nearing. Available soon (second quarter of 2013) on PC (Windows, Linux, Mac) and mobile toys for dumb children (iOS, Android).<\/p>\n

Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like Broken Age, the third episode of The Longest Journey<\/em> series is an adventure game and it was successfully funded on Kickstarter<\/a> as well. Differently from the Double Fine title, however, Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey<\/strong><\/em> will make use of an entirely 3D graphics<\/a> to tell its (hopefully puzzle-filled) story suspended between two parallel worlds which meet where dreams begin<\/strong>. To be released on PC (Windows, Linux, Mac) on November 2014.<\/p>\n

Rain<\/strong><\/p>\n

Developed by the PlayStation C.A.M.P!<\/em> Japanese team, rain<\/strong><\/em> is an action-adventure title of ghosts under the rain<\/a> where the characters’ silhouettes disappear in the dry sections<\/strong>. The game’s protagonist is a boy which enters the spiritual world in search of a ghost-girl haunted by ecto-dogs and other ethereal beasts, and that becomes an (almost) invisible prey of the aforementioned ecto-beasts as well. To be released in digital delivery on PlayStation Network within 2013.<\/p>\n

Shadowrun Returns<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shadowrun Returns<\/strong><\/em> is the nth title born thanks to the success of its own crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter<\/a>, and as the first demonstration video<\/a> taken with an alpha version shows it’s a product which the backers have done right investing in: the game that has the task to renew the turn-based RPG splendors<\/strong> will likely have no issues in winning the costly bet of the developers<\/a>. To be released on PC (Windows, Linux, Mac) and shiny slates for dumb children (iOS, Android tablets).<\/p>\n

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Polish developer CD Projekt RED<\/em> is back to work on The Witcher<\/a> action-RPG series, with a third chapter set to conclude a trilogy. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/strong><\/em> will be based on an all-new technology that is clearly worthy of the gaming next-gen<\/a>, and other than an obscenely-detailed<\/strong> 3D graphics there will be room for a world 30-time larger compared to the previous games, many things to do (or to kill) and three different epilogues<\/a> with 300 details altered by the choices made by the player. To be released in 2014 on PC Windows and PlayStation 4.<\/p>\n

Zeno Clash II<\/strong><\/p>\n

Absurd, bizarre, strange<\/strong>: this and much more<\/a> is Zeno Clash II<\/strong><\/em>, a first-person action-RPG-beat’em up developed by ACE Team<\/em> and published by Atlus<\/em> which has a thing for oddities (Trine<\/a>). The game will offer new combos<\/a>, weapons and characters compared to the first chapter, other than a new multi-player mode and RPG-style stats. To be released on PC (Windows), PS3 and Xbox 360 for the end of the month.<\/p>\n
