Left 4 Dead Creators Announce New Game "Evolve"

Left 4 Dead creators Turtle Rock Studios have unveiled their new game, Evolve set for release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC sometime in Autumn.

The game will be a sci-fi shooter, based heavily on multiplayer. You can check out the official teaser site for the game here. The game has been featured on February's issue of Gameinformer magazine.

Being a next gen exclusive, Evolve seeks to deliver a new and different kind of next gen multiplayer experience. The multiplayer focused shooter will pit a four player team of alien hunters against a separate player controlled monster that can increase in strength as matches go on. Each playable character will have different attributes that make each unique, and the monster itself will be unique in it's size and ability to deal massive damage.

It seems the team has taken a lot of inspiration from its former series Left 4 Dead, especially in the 4 player co-op multiplayer aspect. It will be interesting to see how different and unique the game will be from it's predecessor.

2K games is publishing, while Turtle Rock Studios is developing the game which is due out sometime this fall. Keep it posted to NerdHub for the latest news on Evolve, and in the meantime, let us know what kind of experience you would want to see from the game in the comments section!

3 New International Posters for "The Amazing Spider-man 2"

3 new international posters for The Amazing Spider-man 2 have hit the internet. Each one of them features the films main villain Electro, played by Jaime Foxx. You can check out the new posters as well as the official synopsis, below.

We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead.

It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp. 

The Amazing Spider-man 2 hits theaters May 2, 2014

Sony Reveals Playstation Now Service

At CES today, sony revealed their newest project called Playstation Now, a game streaming service that will allow for classing psone, ps2, and ps3 games to be played on current gen Playstation hardware, as well as non gaming specific hardware. Sony had hinted at capabilities like this in the past, suggesting that they might harness the power of Gaikai, which they purchased back in 2012.

The concept is basically, you no longer need these classic consoles and physical copies of games to play your favorite psone, ps2, and ps3 classics. They will be available not only on Playstation 4 and PS Vita consoles, but also on Smart TVs, tablets, and smartphones. This move by sony effectively solves the issue of backwards compatibility that consumers seem to so desperately want.

The games available at the launch of the service will be limited, with the library growing as the service ages. However, Sony rep Andrew House has confirmed Naughty Dog's The Last Of Us and Quantic Dream's Beyond two souls will be two of the games available to test at CES.

Even with this exciting announcement, much is still unknown about the service itself. It is still unknown if the available games will only be Playstation exclusives or if multi-platform favorites will also be included in the service. It is also unsure if there will be a cost attached to the service, and if there is how much it will be, or if it will be added on to the existing Playstation Plus features, however the latter seems highly unlikely.

Keep it posted to NerdHub News for the latest developments on Sony's new streaming service, and let us know in the comments what kind of games you would like to see offered!
