Daily Scoop: June 11, 2014 – E3 halfway done
The news from E3 is still pouring in! There are so many amazing announcements being made. And I love seeing all of these photos of my friends having a great time in LA! One of these days, I’ll make it back there. One of these days!
In the meantime, I’ll probably buy some games on sale and wallow in them tonight. Actually, I finished my homework 24 hours early, so I’ve got a whole unplanned night to do whatever I want! I haven’t been this excited about nothing in a pretty long time. Maybe I’ll grab the Mixer Bundle over at Indie Royale, which has Doorways, Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages, Famaze, Restaurant Empire II, Knights and Merchants, Finding Teddy, Turba, and Spandex Force: Champion Rising. Or maybe I’ll snag the Humble Weekly Bundle, which features loads of German games, including Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians!
Of course, I could just go home and play Gone Home, which I already own and haven’t started yet. If you want to check it out, it’s the Daily Deal at Steam today for $6.79.
Or, if your backlog is massive enough, maybe just grab one of these t-shirts! (more…)

After the jump, you’ll see an equally awesome single-player gameplay trailer, which takes you through the chaotic streets of Paris during the French Revolution.
Assassin’s Creed: Unity will be out on October 28 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. (more…)
Final Fantasy Type-0 and Final Fantasy Agito announced for North America
North American Final Fantasy fans can finally rejoice: Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy Type-0 and Final Fantasy Agito are finally coming to our shores. Final Fantasy Type-0 was only available on the PSP in Japan, but will be coming to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One remastered in HD. Final Fantasy Agito, meanwhile, will be coming to iOS and Android devices.
Hajime Tabata, Final Fantasy Type-0’s director, said, “The voice of our Western fans was instrumental in the development of Final Fantasy Type-0, and we’re very excited to release this title soon… The new PlayStation 4 system and Xbox One gaming and entertainment platform have really helped to re-envision this dynamic and turbulent world of Orience [the setting of both games].”
Neither game has a confirmed release date yet, though Square Enix did say that Final Fantasy Agito will be a free download with in-app purchases.

Watch out for the flaming battleship hazard in the PGA Tour 15 E3 trailer
It looks like EA Sports won’t be ditching their realistic golf simulator to focus on fantasy courses. Sure, the fantasy courses will be there too, but PGA Tour 15 will also feature a heavy sim component.
The game will be the first EA Sports title to utilize the power of the Frostbite 3 engine to render stunning courses and open up the golf experience like never before. With the ability to stream full environments, players will truly be able to play the ball as it lies no matter where it lands.
This newfound freedom will come in handy not just for PGA Tour courses fans know and love, but also in the new fantasy courses that will make their debut in EA Sports PGA Tour. Why take two shots to get a ball around a beached battleship in the Battlefield Paracel Storm course when you can fire a ball right at the bow, bounce it off the deck and land on the green in one?
“One of my favorite things about the game is discovering new shortcuts and alternate routes to the hole on fantasy courses,” stated Executive Producer Brent Nielsen. “Players are encouraged to wander off the beaten path and find new roads to success. Now that the entire course is open at all times you are as free to be as creative and imaginative as you want in your pursuit of a low score.”
PGA Tour 15 is in development at EA Tiburon and will be available for the PS4 and Xbox One in Spring 2015.

N++ gameplay teaser trailer promises new levels, enemies, challenges
Ninja platformer N++ looks gorgeous in this brand new gameplay teaser trailer, and the music just makes it all so much more epic. It will have new levels, colours (those Brits), and enemies, and there will be explosions. Maybe a lot of explosions.
N++ is a PlayStation 4 exclusive and, if the trailer can be believed, is coming “soonish” (AKA sometime in 2014).
