When it comes to VR game, action shooter is undoubtedly the most popular genre. Recently, Drifter Entertainment, a Seattle-based virtual reality studio, has unveiled a multiplayer sci-fi shooter called Gunheart.
 


For those who are not familiar with Drifter Entertainment, it’s a team that includes veterans from Microsoft Game Studios and Epic Games, and several team members are involved with Gears of War and Robo Recall.


 
Gunheart combines the fun of summer sci-fi blockbuster movies with the polished genre-defining gameplay of Gears of War and Halo. Players are futuristic bounty hunters, linking their minds and hearts with robotic killing machines across the galaxy.
 


Powered by Unreal Engine 4, Gunheart features console-like graphics. It is designed to take full advantage of motion controls and 3D spaces within VR.


 
The game handles movement using the familiar teleport system, which helps to get rid of the nausea associated with movement in VR. It looks like a stationary-base shooting game, but I hope it will add locomotive and aim compatible feature like Farpoint.

Valve Steam Direct Fee Will Be Just $100 Per Game

Steam Direct is the new program Valve will be introducing to replace Steam Greenlight and it’s confirmed that the cost is just $100 for each game. Developers just have to pay Valve $100 to get a game on Steam market directly. The game developer can get the $100 back once its game reaches $1k sales, Valve announces. Now there’s no a date when Steam Direct will be officially implemented.
 

At first the fee was said to be between $200 and $5000, in order to prevent Steam from being flooded with poorly made games. But eventually the cost is $100. Compared with Steam Greenlight, which charges $100 for each developer but doesn’t limit how many games a developer can upload, Steam Direct lifts the bar a little bit higher. But still it’s a very inviting price considering that you can skip the Greenlight phase and directly launch your game in the market.
 
It’s not difficult to foresee a huge spike in Steam store after Steam Direct launches. Are you worried that about the quality of the games? Do you think Valve can handle the balance of quantity and quality?

Pokémon GO: PvP And Legendary Pokémon Confirmed For This Summer

It will soon be a year since Pokémon GO was released (nearly) worldwide, although the mobile game has since been lacking some of the possibilities of gameplay that were originally promised when Niantic Labs presented the first trailer. However, it  will not be long until these are included, according to one of the representatives of the development studio.
 

One year after the release of Pokémon GO, two major features are still lacking: the ability to compete with other players, as well as legendary Pokémon such as Mew, Mewtwo, and the Legendary Birds, and now Ho-Oh, Lugia and the Legendary Dogs. If the latter had already been announced last summer by Niantic, the representative of the company, Mathieu de Fayet again confirmed the information to the Brazilian site O Globo, adding that the PvP was also on the way:
 

Direct translation:

Due to the strong enthusiasm for the game, we had to postpone some new features that were originally programmed.

Now we're working on new things to come this summer, to give more importance to the team's choices with the introduction of the legendary Pokémon and the Pokémon battles between players. If there is one thing we have learned with Ingress, it is that the game holds if we are able to create social interactions between players and we are working on it.


Even though these features were expected from the start, it seems that this summer sounds a new beginning for Pokémon GO as these major features should renew the craze for both Pokémon hunting and the game itself.
