‘SOMA’ Heads To XBox One December 1st With New Play Mode

Published

on

Two months ago, it was announced (well, noticed) that Frictional Games’ SOMA was headed to the XBox One. Well, it’s confirmed now that the game will be headed to Microsoft’s console for December 1st. And as an added bonus, the game will sport a new feature referred to as “Safe Mode”.

In “Safe Mode”, players will be able to experience the game without the threat of monster attacks. While this might be a bit lame for some players who enjoy the added tension of monsters to the game’s wonderful atmosphere, for those who would rather enjoy this take while they solve puzzles, it’s a welcome addition. And after all, the new mode is entirely optional for players.

PC owners will be receiving the “Safe Mode” update for free once the game launches on the XBox One, while PlayStation 4 owners will be receiving the update at a later date.

‘Alien Hunt’ – It’s an ‘Alien’ and ‘Predator’ Mockbuster Rolled into One! [Trailer]

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
