Enter the Gungeon, Orcs Must Die! Unchained and more coming to PS4 in 2015
The PlayStation Experience keynote helped flesh out the Vita's horizon, but PS4 owners were given plenty to look forward to next year as well. Enter the Gungeon, Orcs Must Die! Unchained, Skytorn, Darkest Dungeon and The Forest are all due to arrive on PS4 within 2015, though Sony's home console won't be the only platform hosting the aforementioned titles. Enter the Gungeon, the game in the above trailer that features a gun capable of killing the past, will also arrive on PC, Mac and Linux. The 5v5 MOBA-style Orcs Must Die! Unchained will fight on PC. Skytorn, a procedurally-generated, combat-focused adventure that unfolds in the skies above a post-apocalyptic world, will launch on PC, Mac and Linux. Darkest Dungeon, an RPG that deals afflictions to a player's party based on their stress levels, will explore the PC and Mac. Finally, The Forest's mutated predators are already stalking prey in an Early Access version on PC. You can find additional PS4-flavored trailers for the rest of the above games after the break.
Crowdfund Bookie, March 2014: The slide continues
The Crowdfund Bookie crunches data from select successful Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns that ended during the month and produces pretty charts for you to look at. In case there was any hope that the crowdfunded video game space was on the verge of climbing out of its current slump, the projects that ended in March killed it. Crowdfunding projects during the month raised $991,113 collectively, the second-worst month of funding of the previous ten (January being the lowest that our data provides). A whopping $510,550 was pledged beyond March's funding goals, over half of the total amount raised. The decreasing trends in the space that began in December carried on through March. For starters, 22 projects received funding, which is just above January's 20 and February's 16 projects. March was also second to January in terms of the lowest number of backers in the last ten months, as just 28,460 people showed up to fund video game projects. To put this in perspective, here are three games that each had more backers than the entire month of March: Mighty No. 9 (67,226), Kingdom Come: Deliverance (35,384) and Massive Chalice (31,774). The more telling figure is March's average pledge per person amount: $34.82, the lowest of any month since we began tracking crowdfunding data. What's more, two games saw inordinately large averages, Oscar ($175.37) and BasketWars ($366.18). Without those two projects, March would have sported an average pledge of $33.44. By comparison, the average pledge during the winter quarter $44.26 and backers during the previous six months ponied up an average pledge of $47.78. The data here indicates one notion (albeit a dangerously simplified one): People are spending less on Kickstarter and Indiegogo in the video game space these days. Head past the break to see the month's breakdown by genre and a list of its top five projects.
