Hey gang! After a couple weeks off we’re back with some more off-topic goodness for you. Ironically, we had a bit TOO much going on at Skybound to actually talk about Skybound. In fact, it’s only piling up more so let’s make this short!
OUTCAST premiered on Cinemax last Friday! Thanks to their generosity (and Fox International) it’s been available for even longer than that online. Hopefully you’ve watched it, since we’ve been yapping about it constantly (we’re just THAT proud of it). It’s honestly some of the nicest, most positive feedback we’ve received from our fans, so THANK YOU.
BIRTHRIGHT #16 is in stores TODAY! This story continues to impress me and the artwork is jaw-dropping. Josh and Andrei are an awesome team. In this issue they have one of the coolest 2-page spreads I’ve seen in a while. They’ve crammed it with little nods to all of the stories that inspire BIRTHRIGHT, from Goonies to Clash of the Titans to Indiana Jones.
I’ve been sending to my friends to see how many references they can spot. I’m in love with it.
The digital version of SUPERFIGHT is now in closed beta! We gave out a BUNCH of steam codes for it from the Skybound site. I believe we’ll be offering MORE invites before the late July release and if you want more info or want a shot at an invite, sign up on the SuperfightLive site.
And lastly, OXENFREE, a really awesome, really interesting adventure/narrative game we helped Nightschool Studios release is now out on PS4! They didn’t want to just do a straight port though. Nightschool actually took the game and made some very, very cool tweaks to the narrative which changes the whole experience for people that have played through before. This was pushed out as an update for XBox and PC as well.
That is all for this week! We’re not getting a ton of responses in the comments, but we’ll keep posting these to let you guys know what’s going on around here. We would be tickled if you would post a comment. We’ll give a digital copy of Oxenfree for PS4 to one of you! This week’s topic (but feel free to go off-topic, of course): what’s your favorite video game of all time and why?!
I’m Ol Skool… hell, I guess among the TWD demo, I’m old. Either way, Super Mario & Donkey Kong will always have a special place in my heart. I’ve spent many, many, many hours wasted away in their Lands/Worlds/Countries, starting on the first console (still have my SNES). A series I wish they’d bring back is Marvel’s Ultimate Alliance. I think that’s what got me venturing out more. I was hooked on 1 & 2 and they are among the ones we’ll never part with! That’s not to say that I don’t play some of the newer stuff. My offspring do pull me into the “Kill Mama games” (Call of Duty, take your pick) or kick my ass in some other fighting game. I’m not all that bad in the car racing games but I’d rather take my real ride for that rubber burn! I certainly need to get caught up with Telltale… have been hoping for a GOTY-type edition with the Michonne extra included. Ooo, and don’t even get me started on VR… waiting for Playstation to drop that gear later this year!
What system? I can probably set you up with Telltale codes.
Lols! We got PS2, 3, & 4, WiiU, SNES, & probably 4 of the various DS handhelds… and still play with them all.
Also, very much looking forward to that 2nd ep of Outcast!
Second episode is goooooooooood! Since no one comes in here, you want any proprietary information?
NOPE (not that I know of)! I just want the coffee & blanket ready & the lights turned off!! 😉
No spoilers! I haven’t got around to watching episode 1 yet
OMG, you were so right!
I still haven’t seen any of S2 FtWD! Really wanna see Outcast but no cable tv argh!
What’s my favourite video game? Damn. That’s a hard question! I would have to pick Earthbound for the SNES which is my favourite due to its spectacularly weird, funny, scary, heartfelt and sometimes gross story (you had to battle a literal mound of puke!). It’s satirical take on America always makes me laugh. if you have a Wii U, you should definitely download it! Also, anyone watch Vikings? Gotta go, too addicted to Uncharted 4!
Who won the copy of Oxenfree?
