Almost a week ago exactly, Amazon’s rumored new 4K Fire TV went through FCC filing, letting us take an early look at the company’s next set-top box. Today Amazon has officially announced their new 4K Fire TV unit, with two different packages being available at the beginning of October. One of those packages is being called Fire TV Gaming Edition.
Every Tuesday a new game is usually added to the catalog of available titles to play on Nvidia’s gaming-on-demand service GRID. The newest title to arrive is ironically also called GRID, or in this case GRID Autosport. Originally released in 2014, GRID Autosport is a highly detailed racing game where you are a driver for hire and need to be picked up by a team.
It’s a rare event when the word Apple appears in a headline of ours. I mean we are an Android gaming website after all. However, during the Apple TV event currently going on, Hipster Whale previewed a new version of Crossy Road with a slightly new twist to it – multiplayer.
Up until now you could only buy the Nvidia Shield Android TV off of Nvidia’s own website or places online such as Amazon. However, for those of you that enjoy buying their devices off of Google’s new storefront, you can now pick up the Nvidia Shield Android TV from there as well, complete with free shipping.
Every Tuesday Nvidia brings another game from the console and PC world and sticks it onto their GRID gaming-on-demand service for all of us Shield owners to play. Last week we saw the arrival of a racing game called Toybox Turbos, and this week we have the rather cool yet bloody game called Orcs Must Die!.
Originally developed during the Toronto Game Jam in 2013, Knight & Damsel from MK-Ultra has been in development since then, but it look like it will finally be getting released onto PC and the Ouya console. Knight & Damsel seems like a pretty fun game, especially since it is an ‘un-cooperative’ multiplayer title.
Yesterday we reported on the fact that Ouya basically owes a decent amount of developers a fair amount of money from their Free The Games fund. Because of the deal that went through with Ouya being bought out by Razer, a lot of those developers who qualified for that million dollar fund would not be getting their money. Well that was the case but now things have changed thanks to Razer stepping up to the plate, offering developers a new deal.
Well if the Ouya saga hasn’t been interesting enough for you as of late, today’s news will certainly get your interested and quite possibly not in a good way. After Razer confirmed that the purchase of the Ouya company, mainly the software and the development team, news is now out that the company is backing out of their promised $1 million fund for indie developers.
Today Razer has announced that their purchase of the Android micro-console maker Ouya is complete. The ‘all-cash’ purchase of the Ouya company also marks the end of the console, with Razer having no plans to manufacture future iterations of Ouya or Ouya-related hardware. In other words, Ouya will be turning off the lights soon for good.
Twin stick shooters – shoot-’em-ups that use one stick for directional movement and another for directional weapon firing – have been around for a lot longer than you might imagine. The current popularity of the genre was ignited by the release of Geometry Wars over a decade ago, first as a mini game hidden in Project Gotham Racing on Xbox and later as a standalone game in its own right. However, you need to go back 40 years to find the first ever example. It was an arcade game called Gunfight, featuring two cowboys intent on each other’s destruction. It was pretty basic stuff so you have to jump forward to 1984 and another coin-op cabinet called Robotron which, with a lone fighter up against hordes of encroaching robots, set the template for the games that were to come.
