Torchlight 2 release date teased alongside new trailer

Runic Games has been working on Torchlight 2 for around two solid years, “which is not unreasonably long for this type of game,” says studio CEO Max Schaefer. Promising the studio is “going as fast as we can,” Schaefer says the game should be ready soon – but isn't ashamed to admit that its release is somewhat contingent on a certain other, eagerly-awaited point-'n'-click crawler.


With the Diablo III release date confirmed for May, Schaefer says Runic is eager not to engage the Blizzard behemoth head-on. “Diablo has announced a date, so we don't want to fall right on that,” says Schaefer. If Runic's game is ready to ship right as DIII hits shelves, “then we'll wait.”


“It'll totally be worth the wait,” promises Schaefer: “In the long run, people will be happy we took this extra time.” He's eager to distance Runic's game from Blizzard's, saying the game's $20 pricetag shouldn't mark it as a cut-price alternative to the diabolic threequel. The studio's also released a new trailer highlighting the Berzerker Charge Bar, just one example of the character-specific mechanics it hopes will continue to set Torchlight apart from its competitors.


Does the gaming world have time for more than one game about old-timey fantasy warriors bashing goblins in the face for gold pieces and magical doodads? Only you can decide – well, you and your millions of fellow consumers, so's we can get a decent sample size.

The PC version version will be available April 17, however fans are invited to begin downloading the bulk of the 10 GB patch starting April 11.

It will also be releasing a free digital Witcher comic for iOS devices April 17. The app will star Geralt and allow players to swing swords and de-blouse women using touch screen controls. Classy.

Ms. Splosion Man revealed for PC, Mobile and iOS

Twisted Pixel has announced it's teaming up with Iron Galaxy, Fire Hose and Panic Button to port its XBLA hit, Ms. Splosion Man, to a whole host of other platforms. As well as authentic PC ports to be made available through Steam and Games for Windows Live, the game will be coming to iOS and Windows Mobile devices in a “unique experience” tailored for touch-play.


“These new versions are being painstakingly crafted to be as awesome as possible,” says Twisted Pixel's Michael Wilford. Iron Galaxy's Chief Operating Bro (really), Dave Lang, says the studio's excited to be working on the mobile ports, praising the game's “really deep gameplay that is born from deceptively simple controls.”


While the PC version will contain familiar single-player and multiplayer content alongside a lengthy list of unlockables, Iron Galaxy's mobile ports will remix the game's content with new objectives and game modes optimized for touchscreen players. It's not clear how many copies need to move before the studio calls off its war on poor Debbie, who probably just wanted a chat after all.

Counter-Strike Online: Nexon developing sequel to free-play Valve spinoff

Nexon has announced that it's working on Counter-Strike Online 2, a sequel to its 2007 adaptation of Valve's landmark FPS. Like its predecessor, the game will be developed by Nexon's Korean wing with oversight from the Seattle rights-holder, whose enhanced Source Engine will power the sequel. Nexon will publish the game in Japan, Korea, China and Southeast Asia; Valve, listed as US distributor of the original, hasn't yet announced plans for the sequel.

Above: Exactly the same thing as the terrorists/CTOs you know and love to shoot, just... different

Counter-Strike Online sees players competing in a range of FPS scenarios, including new modes and setups imported from Valve's original. The game utilized a microtransaction-driven model before such strategies had become a Western buzzword, utilizing indelicately-titled GASH credits to price in-game weapons, skins and powerups. It's something of a success story for Maplestory developer Nexon, boasting concurrent user-counts of 50,000 in Korea and ten times that in China. Nexon hopes its “proven development expertise and deep understanding of local markets” will propel the sequel to even greater success in the Asian market.

Players outside Nexon's target market can keep up with Counter-Strike through our most recent Counter-Strike: Global Offensive preview.

Defiance trailer gives a first look at Trion and Syfy's MMO/FPS/TV show hybrid

http://www.gamesradar.com/defiance-trailer-gives-first-look-trion-and-syfys-mmorpgtv-show-hybrid/

We haven't heard much about Trion Worlds' ambitious MMO/FPS/TV show hybrid, Defiance, since we saw it at E3 last year. There, we saw a small bit of gameplay and were told about plans to merge the show with a Syfy original television series, but after that event the developer went dark. Now, they've finally come out of hiding, bringing new footage of the ambitious, interesting shooter.


While the trailer first makes it look like a typically massive shooter, it eventually evolves into something more unique. Giant monsters, vehicles, and thousands of players all sharing an exclusive world? Even without the prospect of hearing your character's name mentioned on a TV show, that's pretty cool in and of itself. Check out the trailer to see some bug-shooting masthead, and check back for more Defiance news as we get it.
