During PlayJam’s press conference yesterday at GDC 2013 the company announced that it would be shipping out units with a couple of pre-installed games. These games turned out to be Madfinger’s Shadowgun and Hutch’s Smash Cops. Both games will be available for those of you who backed the GameStick Kickstarter campaign in order to pre-order a unit.
There are a couple of games that will be arriving for Playstation Mobile in the near future. The two titles slated for release onto Playstation Mobile were both part of a recent indie game jam and are called Oh Deer! and Gunhouse, both of which will be released by Necrosoft soon. So what exactly are these two games about?
Sega has a lot more in store for Android gamers and at GDC 2013 there was another set of games announced that would be heading to Android in the coming months. These newly announced games are House of the Dead: Overkill – The Lost Reels and Godsrule. So there will be a little zombie love and a little MMORTS love heading our way soon.
Sonic fans have yet another game filled with blue hedgehog goodness to look forward to as Sega has announced during GDC that thy will be bringing the original Sonic the Hedgehog game to Android sometime next month. This is the original game but has been reworked with controls for touch screens devices.
Wargaming.net is responsible for the rather popular MMO action games World of Tanks and the soon to launch World of Warplanes MMO as well. At GDC 2013, the company came out of left field to announce that a World of Tanks spin-off will be coming to Android and iOS soon called World of Tanks Blitz.
Indie developers who are working on their games and want to have their next title available on Playstation platforms have a little bit more flexibility now as Sony will allow for game to be sold to customers even if the title is in an Alpha stage of development. Normally buying into a game that is in an alpha stage wouldn’t be something people would normally want to do, say 10 years ago or even 7 years ago, but now it’s a more widely accepted practice, especially after the success of Minecraft.
The second day of GDC 2013 is starting and to kick things off Verizon has announced that they will be pre-loading a games portal style application onto future Android phones that are on the carrier. This games portal will be powered by their social mobile gaming hub and will apparently arrive on phones starting in Q3 2013.
GDC 2013 has just started and Qualcomm has announced that the company has teamed up with Unity, the makers of the Unity3D engine, in a development partnership which brings to the table better optimization for Qualcomm Snapdragon-based devices for developers when making their games using the Unity3D engine.
PlayJam is gearing up to do the official unveiling of their portable Android gaming console GameStick during GDC 2013 next week as well as an announcement that is in regards to the games that will be available to play using GameStick when it goes on sale retail-wise and pre-orders ship. In our previous article about GameStick’s GDC 2013 unveiling, the company mentioned that there would be around 30 titles available for the initial launch.
For those of you who are more about having a compact, more portable, Android console instead of OUYA are probably more interested in PlayJam’s GameStick which did pretty damn good on Kickstarter and has since progressed nicely including a new design for their controller. We’ve seen plenty of pictures and video of GameStick and now anyone attending GDC 2013 next week will be able to check GameStick out in person as well.
