Nifty open world, randomly generated horror game Grave coming to Xbox One

Add as a preferred source on Google

Broken Window Studios’ survival-horror game Grave has added Xbox One to its list of supported platforms, with the Microsoft console launch joining planned Linux, Mac, and Windows releases in early 2015. If you haven’t heard of Grave, it’s an open world adventure in which no two runthroughs are different thanks to its randomly generated environments. You can check it out on Kickstarter, and even score a PC demo for backing it.

We spent some time checking out the Oculus Rift-enhanced PC version of Grave at the 2014 Game Developer’s Conference and definitely enjoyed the experience. The dev team has a ways to go, but the core premise is there, and it’s sound. Players are dropped into a dream-like desert landscape that is dotted with ever-changing points of interest. Exploration is safe enough during the day, but weird things start happening at night. You can use various light sources to keep the monsters at bay, but using them consumes resources like matches or batteries.

We’ve posted a gallery of screens pulled from across the game’s development timeline. Bear in mind that they’re not in any specific order, but you’ll definitely get a sense of where Grave started and how it’s coming along, visually. You also might want to take a peek at the trailer below. The Kickstarter concludes in 10 days and Broken Window still has a ways to go, so step up!

A new special edition console from Microsoft isn't something new. Over the years, Xbox consoles have been a part of plenty of limited-edition collaborations, including a controller modeled after Deadpool's backside. But its latest creation just takes the cake.

Microsoft has stuffed an entire Xbox Series X inside a giant alligator, and the fun part is that you could take this monstrosity home. Meet the new Xbox Series X-BITE, a one-of-a-kind console that looks like an alligator swallowed Microsoft's gaming hardware whole. According to Xbox's official announcement, the bizarre creation is part of a special giveaway celebrating the company's upcoming trip to Florida.

Steam has apparently been struggling to keep up with new game submissions. Developers have been forced to wait longer to get their games approved, which has caused Valve to step in to fix things. The company is putting stricter release requirements in place, including one which is absolutely hilarious. Valve needs developers to play their games through Steam before submitting them for review.

In an official Steamworks announcement, Valve acknowledged that a significant increase in game and store page submissions has overwhelmed its review process. The company typically aims to complete game build reviews within three to five days. However, some are now taking up to 12 business days, with repeated reviews contributing heavily to the backlog.
