505 Games Press Play: Fall Preview Event

Hey O&G Fans, during last weeks New York Comic Con, we were invited to check out 505 Games Fall preview event. They showcased four games, The Guest, Adrift, Indivisible, and How To Survive 2.

THE GUEST

Team Madrid's chilling first person exploration game filled with puzzles, secrets and riddles. This game was pretty good. You have to solve puzzles to get out of each room, that really challenge you, starting easy at first, then working your brain hard to figure it out. With beautifully rendered environments, it give you a feel of the classic looking hotel while amercing you in the game play.  For anyone who likes challenges and mysteries this is the game for you.  
 

Adrift

Last March we got an opportunity to check out Adrift (on the big Theater Screen and the Oculus) During NYCC, we were invited back to see the New Build. The game still looks amazing and even better through the Oculus where you are completely amerced in the game. 
 

INDIVISIBLE

Indivisible is a great action role-playing game, independently developed by Lab Zero Games and published by 505 Games. The games main character is Ajna and it tells the story of her global journey to discover the truth behind her mysterious powers. She joined on her journey by a few different and unique heroes (from what we saw from the demo, character could be added or changed) The game also features 2D hand drawn animation by Lab Zero artist. This game was awesome, The controls were easy to use and understand, The animation and movement was smooth. The Sub-bosses and Stage Boss were really challenging. We can't wait to see the finished game to get the full experience. Check out Lab Zero's Indiegogo page: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/indivisible-a-2d-rpg-for-ps4-xb1-win-mac-linux#/

The game will include co-op of up to  4 players simultaneously, while 16 players in total can join your camp. The Demo we played was pretty good but a little tough with the controls.

NYCC 2015 Ash vs Evil Dead Panel

Hey O&G Fans, New York Comic Con 2015 had some great panels this year. One of the most anticipated panels was Ash vs Evil Dead. Kevin Smith moderated the panel and kept the crowd entertained till the show stopper himself Bruce Campbell was ready.

Bruce Campbell came out to thunderous applauds and started to tell the fans a Joke when Sam Raimi interrupted him to give the fans what they want. Attendees were surprised with a premiere of the first episode of Ash vs Evil Dead. The episode was fantastic!  Fans of the Evil Dead series will love the nods to past events and moments, as Ash (Campbell) returns, older, but hardly wiser. His age is not only acknowledged but a big source of humor, as he’s not quite as fit as he once was.

The episode also had all the blood and gore. In classic Evil Dead style, there’s all sorts of body parts being torn off and apart and blood splattering in the faces of various characters. During the Q&A the question was asked whether the show would return to the iconic cabin from the films. Said Campbell, “We can’t answer that question.” Smith retorted with, “That’s a yes, isn’t it?” to which Campbell had to admit, it probably was. Fans asked what else could they expect in future episodes and if it would get even more gory, show runner DiGregorio said “There’s a really good deli slicer scene.”

The Panel was awesome and great for the fans of the franchise. Ash vs Evil Dead will air October 31st 2015 on Starz. Just what fans needed on Halloween.
