Afro Samuri 2 was such a horrible game that the publisher Versus Evil pulled the game from Steam and PSN because:

“The game was a failure. We could not do, in good conscience, volume 2 and volume 3. So we’ve begun the [refunding] process,” said Escalante.

So, obviously from that quote, they are pulling the game and giving refunds due to it’s poor production. It’s actually quite refreshing though that a game company would go this far to pull a game and give a refund due to the game being bad. Most will just try and fix it or not do anything. So good on Versus Evil.

Dontnod mentioned that they are working on a sequel to Life is Strange. The sequel will be based in the same world as the first game but with different characters. The original game has you rewinding time and going back in time using using photos so you can change things in the past in an story filled point and click adventure game that’s all about choice, in five different episodes. Sadly “as of yet, Square Enix has not said whether it plans to publish a second season, and Dontnot has not officially announced a follow-up.” … which really makes this a non story.

There’s a video game museum opening up in Texas this December. The National Videogame Museum will open next month in Frisco, Texas and will “will debut with a variety of displays including a replica 1980s arcade, a console history timeline, a hall dedicated to head-to-head games as well as a collection of rare artifacts including a Sega Neptune prototype and an Atari Mindlink controller.” More info can be found here http://nvmusa.org/

Also there’s apparently this game that’s coming out called Fallout 4 I haven’t heard much about it or anything though… except on every single site spanning multiple articles that take up any other gaming news.

Apparently Bethesda ported Skyrim over to Xbox One in order to test if it Fallout 4 Development, and the funny thing there is no plan to release the game at any time, even though it wouldn’t be hard to improve the graphics since they do have the High Resolution Texture Pack DLC for PC for free even.

Bethesda instead viewed a longer development time frame – one that allowed the team to properly gather data before starting development on the new hardware. When I visited Bethesda Game Studios last month, Todd Howard and other key members from the development team walked me through Fallout 4’s creation. Early on in our talks, Howard smiled at me and said, “The first thing we did was port Skyrim to Xbox One.” After a brief pause, he quickly blurted out, “Don’t get your hopes up yet.”

So yeah no plans as of yet to release Skyrim to Xbox One.
