$1,100,000 for the base game Well,Project Rap Rabbitis definitely a thing, and has moved beyond its teaser status last week into a full-on video game. Due to the Kickstarter pagethat’s live right now some new information has come to light, including its future-tinted 16th century Japan setting, and an “Earth shattering calamity at the height of a culture of fear.” Answering the heroic call is Toto-Maru, a farm boy rabbit who uses music to battle the forces of corruption with his sidekick Otama-Maru....

Celebrity endorsments, I guess… Bandai Namco have released a short video showcasing more gameplay from upcoming anime titleDragon Ball FighterZ, this time being played by members of the NFL’s Green Bay Packers. The two-minute video features Packers’ quarterback Brett Hundley, linebacker Chris Odom and defensive tackle Mike Daniels, among others, hashing it out on the ArcSys-produced fighter, while shouting at each other, a lot. Self-confessedDragon Ballfan Daniels says he likes it when “Goku comes out of nowhere and hits a ‘Kamehameha’ or something like that”....

Third time’s the charm! I rememberwriting last year(around the same time, no less) thatRainbow Six Siegewould be getting a second year of DLC. It looks like Ubisoft did well enough with that extra content thatSiegewill get supported into 2018, as well. Ubisoft announced today that more new maps and operators will be coming to their tactical online only shooter early next year. Year Three will feature eight new operators from around the world, two brand new maps based in Italy and Morocco and a complete overhaul/remake of an existing map with new art direction and level design....

Also, another Outlaw (season) pass Red Dead Onlinecontinues its bid to keep people interested and eventually migrate over fromGrand Theft Auto Onlinewith yet another expansion. This time the focus is on Moonshiners: a new mercantile class that sports its own storyline. The idea is that once you reach Trader Rank 5 (or finish a trader sell mission) you’ll have the opportunity to take part of the festivities and chat with Maggie Fike, the queen of bootlegging....

The 2TB model is out now Microsoft had a lot of catching up to do. I’ll spare you the history once again of how badly it bungled the announcement of the Xbox One, but since then, it has made strides. The UI is a lot better than it used to be (especially now with the recent Summer 2016 update), Xbox 360 Games with Gold acquisitions don’t expire when your subscription runs out and now all work on Xbox One, there’s a concerted effort for backward compatibility as a whole, and Microsoft has made near-unprecedented advancements in terms of its controllers....

I’m just ready to play it at this point Vblank has been busy. AfterRetro City Rampagebrought top-down retro open world exploration back into the fold, the studio has been hard at work on the follow-up:Shakedown: Hawaii. It was revealed three years ago and still hasn’t been released, amid several new developments like Epic Games Store exclusivity for PC. Shakedownboss Brian Provinciano even shot us over another update earlier today, and this one is promising: “After many years and much, much more content than originally planned,Shakedown: Hawaii‘s finally in console certification....

SNK Playmore has brought two more Arcade Classics from their vault to the PlayStation Store for play on PSP or PS3. Bermuda Triangleis a vintage SNK shmup from 1987 where you’ll pilot a ZIG aircraft as you journey through time. Check out the flyer I found for this game onThe Arcade Flyer Archive, shown above. You’ll surely want to get a piece of the “New Dimention” of videogames. The other release,Gold Medalist, features 9 sporting events you can play to become a medalist at the 1988 Seoul Olympics....

It is very rare that an idea comes along that is at once both truly brilliant and utterly stupid, but you may be sure that Sony is usually behind it. The latest hare-brained scheme to come from Sony’s idea lab is a PSP-controlled car, the patent for which has recently surfaced. That is as awesome as it is ridiculous. As with many patents, it’s more than likely this will never see the light of day....

It will serve as a countdown website and a “center for celebration” as the site gets updated with more content....

Beam me up, Xbox One I never really ‘got’Star Wars; to me it seems like a load of old guff in space. Something to do with midi-chlorians killing the younglings and turning them in to coarse sand or something? I don’t know, it’s just never particularly been my bag. So many people are into it though, sometimes it feels like resistance is futile. What Icantell you about Star Wars is thatStar Wars: Battlefront, the big space FPS in development from DICE, will be boldly going to EA Access, and by extension Xbox One, before any other platform....
