Hidetaka Suehiro – otherwise known as Swery – has created cult classics like Deadly Premonition and D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die. At his new studio White Owls, he’s officially unveiled his next game at PAX West today called The Good Life.
The Good Life is said to be a “debt repayment life simulation RPG”. You’ll play as Naomi, a photographer from New York who has found herself in debt after a scandal. Once she accepts a new job, Naomi moves to a rural English town that has a strange secret. People become cats at night, and it will be your job to find out why that’s happening.
Before Telltale Games confirmed its new releases for Switch, one of the rumors swirling around was about Batman: The Telltale Series. A number of retailers were listing Batman: The Enemy Within, which is the second season Telltale started just recently.
An Amazon listing offers clarity about what’s going on here. Rather than The Enemy Within, Switch will be getting all five episodes from the first season instead. That does make sense, since it’d be a bit odd to start off with the second season without having the context from prior episodes.
IGN has a new look at Trine developer Frozenbyte’s new game Nine Parchments. Watch 13 minutes of footage below.
Back at Gamescom, Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata seemed to hint at something relating to the game coming to Switch. Tabata has since clarified what’s actually going on at the moment.
Right now, a definitive decision has not been made. Square Enix has been experimenting with Switch to see what sort of specs the system can provide and what it’s capable. The Luminous Engine was tested, but it seems that Square Enix can’t “bring out the most of the engine” on Switch.
IGN captured 12 minutes of Pokken Tournament DX footage from its appearance at PAX West this weekend. View the gameplay below.
Many new indie games were announced for Switch this week, including Inner Space. Take a look at a teaser trailer for the game below.
YouTuber Slippy Slides has stumbled upon an interesting Easter Egg in Resident Evil 4. Some sort of mystery person is hidden away in one of the game’s areas, and he’s pretty tough to see normally.
Slippy Slides messed around with Resident Evil 4 a bit and managed to place the camera in a spot that shows this person in a slightly more clearer light. Yet even after that, the model is rather blurry. After going through the game’s files, Slippy Slides found out that it’s actually a 2D texture. Was it a developer who worked on the project way back in the day? Or something else entirely?
If you’ve played the No More Heroes games and watched the trailer for Travis Strikes Again, you may have noticed something about Travis in particular. It seems that Robin Atkin Downes isn’t involved. Downes voiced Travis Touchdown in the first two No More Heroes games, but a different voice actor is featured in Travis Strikes Again’s debut trailer.
Technically, anything could change before launch, and it does look like Travis Strikes Again is fairly early on in development. But as things stand now, Travis has a new voice actor.
Various footage has come in from the final build of Metroid: Samus Returns. We’ve rounded up a bunch of videos below.
