  • Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack

The original critically acclaimed 2D action adventure, Azure Striker Gunvolt, is combined with its highly anticipated successor, Azure Striker Gunvolt 2, in one amazing game package. These incredible platforming games harken back to the Japanese classics of yesteryear with their great controls, crisp graphics, unique gameplay mechanics, memorable characters, and epic boss battles.

 

October 13

 

In Chase: Cold Case Investigations – Distant Memories, players follow two detectives named Shounosuke Nanase and Koto Amekura. New information on a five-year-old explosion has appeared, suggesting the incident was a murder and not an unfortunate accident. Players will need to investigate evidence collected five years ago to find new leads, then bring in people to interrogate them. However, going astray during questioning can cause the Interrogation Gauge to deplete and the game to end.

October 14

Meet over 100 Disney characters and explore six Disney-themed worlds, including Disney Frozen and Disney The Little Mermaid, in the new game for the Nintendo 3DS™ family of systems.

October 18

Embark on a brand new adventure with Shantae, the hair-whipping belly dancing genie. When she loses her magic, Shantae must team up with her nemesis, the nefarious pirate Risky Boots in order to save Sequin Land from an evil curse. As a pirate, Shantae gains new weapons to advance her quest, slay monsters, battle epic bosses…and hopefully get her magic back in the bargain! But can she really trust her deadliest enemy?

 I reviewed this game in 2014 and this is the physical release so it's the same game that I reviewed but in cartridge format .

In Corpse Party, players take control of a group of Japanese high school students who inadvertentlyengage in a pagan ritual and find themselves inexplicably transported into a whole other space: an inescapable echo of a long-since demolished school building where a series of gruesome murders once took place. They must now evade the grasp of the tortured souls who roam the halls of the doomed Heavenly Host Elementary School, lest they join the ranks of the dead themselves.

BEIJING – (August 30, 2016)

– Oasis Games Ltd, a leading independent Chinese publisher, announced today that it will release a strong and diverse lineup of five PlayStation®VR titles, more than any other third party publisher, during the PS VR launch window. Titles released within the 90-day launch window include Ace Banana, a cartoony arcade archery game where players wield a bow to protect their banana stash from marauding monkeys, story-driven horror adventure Weeping Doll, the 3D pixel shoot-em-up Pixel Gear, the eerie room escape puzzle game Dying: Reborn and the arcade space shooter, Mixip. Each game delivers a unique experience, providing PS VR early adopters with a varied lineup that promises fun for players of all ages and types.

Intuitive controls and challenging levels that are quickly learned but slowly mastered will make Ace Banana a favorite of PlayStation®VR early adopters. In the game, players assume the role of a Banana Archer, the world-famous protectors of bananas. In opposition are hordes of mischievous monkeys, set on stealing bananas from the player’s stash. As the enemies arrive in waves, players use the PlayStation®Move controllers to mimic drawing, aiming and shooting their bow with an arsenal of arrows ranging from plungers to fish and even pandas! Players will need to stay on their toes as when all their bananas are stolen, the game is over! Developed by TVR, Ace Banana is scheduled to ship with the PS VR hardware launch this October.

Each level is filled with interactive objects that exhibit entertaining reactions when hit and upgradeable weapons that grant the ability to slow down or even stop time. Developed by Geronimo Interactive, Pixel Gear is scheduled to ship this October.

 Dying: Reborn is a dark, horror-themed puzzle game that creates a unique first-person room escape experience.

“Each game offers something different, which was the criteria we used when we selected what we wanted to bring to the global PlayStation marketplace,” continued Wu. “We’re extremely excited about VR as consumers ourselves, and look forward to the reception of our games amongst the fans.”

Getty images gets into Virtual Reality business

 The launch of the Getty Images Virtual Reality Group brings high quality VR and 360 content to everyone, satisfying the growing appetite for immersive content

The launch of the Getty Images Virtual Reality Group brings high quality VR and 360 content to everyone, satisfying the growing appetite for immersive content

Getty Images, the world leader in visual communication, has today announced the launch of the Getty Images Virtual Reality Group, a new business dedicated to the creation and global distribution of virtual reality (VR) content.

The Getty Images Virtual Reality Group brings the very latest in photographic and video technology together with Getty Images’ 21 years of experience in visual storytelling, to offer exceptional content for existing and future VR platforms. The Group provides a comprehensive offering of over 12,000 premium 360 images with new content added daily, as well as high res gigapixel content from key events and venues.  High quality VR production is also being offered through Getty Images Assignments.

Quick to adapt to new image technologies, Getty images began building its collection of 360 and gigapixel imagery four years ago, pioneering the use of these techniques in its role as the Official Photographic Agency for the International Olympic Committee at the 2012 London Olympics. Fast track to today, and every Getty Images photographer at the upcoming Rio Olympic Games, will be equipped with a 360 camera. This is just one example of how Getty Images is utilizing its expertise, its access to over 130,000 annual news, sport and entertainment events and its unique relationships to generate high-end VR content, and feed the growing demand for a more immersive visual experience.

“The technology is still in its infancy – as are the business models addressing how to use it – but we can expect to see VR become a leading tool for visual storytelling. It is anticipated that over 14 million consoles will sell this year alone (TrendForce), and we are only on the cusp of what will be a tectonic plate shift in VR” said Dawn Airey, Chief Executive Officer of Getty Images.

Airey continues: “With the launch of the Getty Images Virtual Reality Group, we are embedding VR content technologies into the core of our business and ensuring that, as use of VR continues to grow, its users are further enhancing their experience with access to the world’s best imagery.”

“The diverse range of 360 degree content that we produce – from the red carpet to the stadiums of the world’s biggest sporting events and the frontline of conflict – allows people to access information and experiences that were previously off limits,” said Hugh Pinney, Vice President of Editorial Content at Getty Images. “Virtual Reality is completely transforming the way we view and experience world events.”

The Group will continue to build on Getty Images existing VR content offering, which includes 360 content captured by its award-winning news, sport and entertainment photographers as well as geo-located, interactive panoramic images from its content partner 360cities.net.

Last month, Getty Images and Google announced their latest partnership, which sees Getty Images supplying hi-res VR content from current events around the world for Google Expeditions. Getty Images partnered with Oculus Rift in June 2015 to make its 360 imagery available for users of the Oculus platform via its 360° View by Getty Images collection.
