‘Super Time Force’ delayed to 2014, now confirmed for Xbox One

By Adam Rosenberg Published December 6, 2013

Capybara Games’ Super Time Force won’t be making its 2013 release anymore, but it will now be coming out in 2014 for both the Xbox 360 and Xbox One consoles. The studio is also bringing the top-down adventure game Below to Xbox One. Both that and the 360 version of Super Time Force are set to be published by Microsoft Game Studios, but the Xbox One version of Time Force will be self-published by Capy under the ID@Xbox program.

“To accommodate development of the Xbox One version, and to make sure we bring you the best game possible, we’re moving the release date,” a blog post on the dev’s official site reads. “While we had originally intended to release this year, the opportunity to do Super Time Force on Xbox One, plus the sheer insanity of releasing during new console launches meant that moving a few months into 2014 was the best plan for our game.”

Work on Below will carry on concurrently with Super Time Force, just as it was before Capybara added Xbox One to the latter game’s list of release platforms. Super Time Force is a side-scrolling bullet-hell shooter with a twist. Players get 30 lives to run through the game, but are able to rewind the clock on a previous death between lives. There’s been a lot of positive preview buzz around the Xbox Live Arcade release, and the addition of an Xbox One version will help to ensure that the entire Xbox-playing community is aware of it.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4’s Stranded mission had me hooked for hours, yet left me wanting more

I spent hours sneaking through North Korea, scavenging supplies, and clearing outposts, and I’d happily do it all again.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Stranded mission gameplay

For years, Call of Duty’s campaign mode has used big, scripted set pieces to tell the overarching story amid all the adrenaline-pumping action. The 2023 Modern Warfare 3 tried to shake up the established formula by introducing a handful of short open combat missions, and I genuinely liked the idea, but the game's overall negative reception seeped into how those missions were received.

I feared the next iteration might abandon the idea because of the backlash, but I am glad it didn't. MW4’s “Stranded” mission uses the same approach, but instead of fragmenting it across the campaign, it puts it all in a single large-scale open-world mission.

The $1300 Acer Predator Atlas 8 handheld is finally US-bound, and its pre-orders are already sold out

Acer’s first gaming handheld to launch in the US arrives November 1 with Intel Arc G3 Extreme hardware.

Intel Arc G3 Extreme Hands On with Acer Predator Atlas 8

Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.

Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
