No, that’s not a typo. Welcome to the Weekly Warp-Up, your weekly wrap-up of the biggest and the best articles posted at Warp Zoned this week…
The 2014 edition of the Game Developers Conference took place this week and, as always, it held a few nifty surprises:
- Sony unveiled their virtual reality headset, which is currently known as Project Morpheus. The publisher also confirmed it won’t be out in 2014 and that it will be priced under $1,000.
- Keiji Inafune and Comcept gave us an extended look at Mighty No. 9.
- WB Games announced a Gauntlet reboot, which will be available exclusively through Steam.
- And speaking of Steam, Valve lifted the curtain on the latest revision to the Steam Controller.
- Finally, The Last of Us won “Game of the Year” honors at this year’s GDC Awards and Papers Please took home the “Seumas McNally Grand Prize” at the 2014 Independent Games Festival.
But don’t worry, even with all this GDC news, the Warp Zoned staff kept plenty busy. To celebrate this week’s release of InFamous: Second Son, Andrew Rainnie explored the franchise’s beginning in It Came From 200X! The InFamous Series. We’ve also got reviews of two of this month’s other big games, Yoshi’s New Island and South Park: The Stick of Truth. Finally this week, I’d like to introduce you to Continue Countdown, our brand new discussion roundtable show. In the premiere episode, the Warp Zoned staff got together to talk about Project Morpheus, a Last of Us movie, The Stick of Truth, and much more. Check it out!
All of this week’s non-GDC news can be found after the break.
