John Romero's Blackroom Kickstarter has been canceled

After spending over a decade in obscurity John Romero recently returned along with Adrian Carmack in order to attempt a Kickstarter for Blackroom, a brand new FPS modeled after the PC gaming shooters of old.

And much like how it suddenly appeared, the Kickstarter for Blackroom has been put on hold after gathering $131,052 in funding over the course of four days. The official reason behind this "out of nowhere" announcement is that the team wants to produce a gameplay demo capable of showcasing everything they stand for with Blackroom.

Here's what the brief announcement message had to say:

Chaos Warriors will be free for the first week of Total War: Warhammer

After the unmitigated disaster that was Rome 2's launch I am delighted to see Creative Assembly turn over a new leaf, first by announcing Bretonia as an extra multiplayer faction, and now by backing down on Chaos as a pre-order piece only DLC.

According to the most recent Chaos vs Dwarves gameplay video the Chaos faction will be available to anyone who purchases Total War: Warhammer within the first week of release. This is amazing news not just because we get free DLC, but also because it means that Creative Assembly is so confident with Total War: Warhammer that they're willing to do this, and that fills me with a lot of hope! 

With that said, here's a gameplay video showcasing a bunch of Dwarves getting punted.

Space Hulk Deathwing gameplay trailer has been released

After waiting for God-Emperor knows how many years for the AAA industry to realize that a Warhammer 40k shooter would be the greatest thing in the world, I am happy to say that salvation seems to be coming, and its in the shape of Eternal Crusade which is currently in early alpha, as well as Space Hulk Deathwing which is slowly inching towards release.

On today's menu, however, we only have Space Hulk Deathwing as its first gameplay trailer has just been revealed, and thankfully, it looks bloody great! Have a look:

Fallout 4's survival mode has arrived as a part of patch 1.5

I initially feared that Fallout 4's survival mode would be nothing more than a gimmick, a cheap way to extend the game's longevity without actually creating a unique and exciting experience, but thankfully Bethesda has proven me wrong by not only releasing a bunch of interesting changes, but also spending well over a month in public beta to ensure that they work as expected.

After going through numerous revisions the survival mode is now finally, and officially available on Steam as a part of Update 1.5. The reworked survival mode aside, Update 1.5 also brings with it a couple of much-needed bug fixes and quality of life changes, all of which you can read right below:

Mirage: Arcane Warfare 8 minutes of gameplay footage

Chivalry, the first and currently only game Torn Banner Studios have ever released, is a rather interesting blend between an FPS and an action-orientated fighting game that ended up being surprisingly great, mostly because the combat is well paced, the weapons feel powerful, and most importantly, limbs are detached easily and spectacularly.

Unfortunately, while Mirage: Arcane Warfare aims to be a mystical upgrade to Chivalry it does seem to be lacking in a couple of areas when compared to its predecessor, as you'll no doubt notice in 8 minutes of gameplay footage released during this year's PAX East:

Darkest Dungeon is now available on Linux

Darkest Dungeon is the best example of quickly one can turn from respecting those that serve him to simply throwing them unarmed, unequipped, and torch-less into the mouth of hell itself in order to scrounge a few extra gold coins before finally dismissing the entire crew, only to start again with another bunch of gullible fools.

In other words, its a rather awesome game, and after the most recent update Darkest Dungeon is now also available on Linux. Besides simply announcing the Linux port, Red Hook Studios also revealed a bit of information on the upcoming Town Events update, as well as the current progress on new modding tools. Here's a short summary:

Dark Souls 3 Regulation Ver 1.06 is coming April 28

If you've attempted to PvP through either Blade of the Darkmoon or Blue Sentinels covenant you most likely noticed that its almost impossible to find anyone to fight, either because there is no one in the Way of Blue that requires protection, or due to some sort of matchmaking issue.

Thankfully, the Regulation Ver 1.06 update is being released tomorrow in order to fix exactly that issue, as well as the overabundance of short swords in PvP, general balance problems, and so forth. There are currently no patch notes available, but FromSoftware have released a brief summary of what to expect:
