Control leads the way with seven nominations at the 2020 SXSW Gaming Awards

Posted on February 18, 2020 by John Scalzo

The SXSW Gaming Awards will once again play a big role in the annual Austin arts festival, and this year’s nominees were announced earlier this week.

Remedy’s Control and Kojima Productions’s Death Stranding lead the way with seven nominations apiece, but Kojima’s latest mindbender won’t be competing for “Video Game of the Year.” Instead, Control will do battle with Capcom’s Devil May Cry 5, ZA/UM’s Disco Elysium, From Software’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order for the coveted award.

Winners at the 2020 SXSW Gaming Awards will be determined by a split vote between the festival’s advisory board and a public poll, which is now open at SXSW.com through Sunday, February 23.

This year’s ceremony will be held on on Sunday, March 15, and it’ll be hosted by Wil Wheaton and Star Wars: Battlefront II‘s Janina Gavankar. All SXSW registrants will be able to attend the ceremony as part of their festival ticket, and the rest of us will be able to tune in to the festivities via SXSW’s Twitch channel.

You can find a complete list of this year’s nominees in all categories after the break. (more…)

New Retail Releases: Devil May Cry 5, Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn, Left Alive, More

Posted on March 4, 2019 by John Scalzo

After veering away from the franchise’s established continuity in DMC: Devil May Cry, Capcom has promised fans they’ll get reacquainted with “The Devil You Know” in Devil May Cry 5, which will be available this week for the PS4 and Xbox One (and as a digital download for the PC). Dante and Nero will both return for the “most insane” and “technically advanced” entry in the series, and they’ll be joined by a “weapons artist” named Nico.

If you’d prefer not to spend your days battling demons, Nintendo will launch a family-friendly alternative, Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn, for the 3DS. Originally released for the Wii, this expanded re-release includes new new Ravel Abilities that mimic the pink puffball’s famous copy power and a harder Devilish Mode (wait a minute…). It’s also the last Nintendo-published 3DS game on the 2019 calendar, so we might be looking at the end of an era here.

Also set to launch this week is Left Alive, a new “survival-action shooter” from Square Enix that’ set in the Front Mission universe. The futuristic game will be available for the PS4 and as a digital download for the PC.

Finally this week, gamers will be able to scoop up MLB Advanced Media’s RBI Baseball 19 (PS4 and Xbox One), White Paper Games’s The Occupation (PS4 and Xbox One), and Bigben’s My Little Riding Champion (Switch) from their local retail establishment. And Switch owners looking to purchase a copy of The Lego Movie 2 will finally get their chance.

Capcom reminds fans of “The Story So Far” in a new video ahead of Devil May Cry 5’s launch

Posted on March 3, 2019 by John Scalzo

The original Devil May Cry franchise went on a bit of a hiatus after the release of Devil May Cry 4 in 2008, as Capcom turned to Ninja Theory to create the alternate universe seen in 2013’s DMC: Devil May Cry. So it’s understandable that some fans might need a refresher course on all the events that happened in the series so far before the original Dante (along with Nero and newcomer Nico) returns next week in Devil May Cry 5.

Thankfully, Capcom has provided us with “The Story So Far,” a short video recap of Dante’s greatest hits:

Been a long time since your last demon hunt? Forgotten about Mundus, Lady, and Nero? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with this smokin’ sexy short recap on the DMC story so far…

“The Story So Far” has been embedded above, and Devil May Cry 5 will be available for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One on March 8.

New Gameplay Trailer confirms Devil May Cry 5 will be released on March 8, 2019

Posted on August 21, 2018 by John Scalzo

Gamescom 2018 attendees got their first look at Devil May Cry 5, and Capcom unveiled a brand new Gameplay Trailer for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One action game during today’s special episode of Inside Xbox. In addition to the new video, the publisher also unveiled the game’s official release date… March 8, 2019.

As we saw during the E3 Trailer, players will take control of Nero in the upcoming game, but be sure to watch the new trailer all the way to the end for a quick glimpse at the game’s second playable character:

The threat of demonic power has returned to menace the world once again in Devil May Cry 5. The invasion begins when the seeds of a “demon tree” take root in Red Grave City. As this hellish incursion starts to take over the city, a young demon hunter Nero, arrives with his partner Nico in their “Devil May Cry” motorhome. Finding himself without the use of his right arm, Nero enlists Nico, a self-professed weapons artist, to design a variety of unique mechanical Devil Breaker arms to give him extra powers to take on evil demons such as the blood sucking flying Empusa and giant colossus enemy Goliath.

Devil May Cry 5 is currently playable at the Xbox booth at Gamescom 2018 (August 21-25), and Capcom will also bring it to PAX West next week (August 31-September 4) to give attendees in Seattle a chance to try out the demo as well.

Oh, and in case you missed it, that’s Dante on his flashy motorbike at the end there.
