‘Hellpoint’ Delayed to Q2 2020 For PC, Consoles

Published

on

Like many studios, tinyBuild and developer Cradle Games have announced that they’ve had to delay their upcoming releases. In this case, Hellpoint, which was supposed to arrive on April 16 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam, will now be pushed back to Q2 2020. The simultaneous release for consoles and PC is still planned to go ahead.

Cradle Games plans to use the extra development time to address user feedback received from those who played the free sequel chapter Hellpoint: The Thespian Feast, which was released back in February.

As a way of making it up to players, Cradle Games have released a new launch teaser trailer.

“In light of the unprecedented events facing the world, we have been forced to postpone the launch of the game,” states Cradle Games creative director Matt Boudreau. “We plan to use the additional development time not just for polishing, but also to address the feedback we’ve gathered and make Hellpoint an even better gaming experience for everybody! The feedback of the community had such enthusiasm and energy.”

Definitive Edition of Throwback Survival Horror Game ‘Doctor Viscera’ Launches June 23 [Trailer]

Published

on

For those who enjoy their survival horror gaming with a side of old-school cheese, you have Liminal Road’s Doctor Viscera. Released last October on Steam, the game is set to receive its Definitive Edition next week on June 23rd, with plans for a release on consoles to be shared soon. The Doctor Viscera: Definitive Edition will include a variety of improvements, adjustments, and new content designed to make the experience even more intense. All of this content will be available free to existing owners.

For those not in the know, Doctor Viscera is a throwback survival horror title with PSX-inspired visuals, where you must escape the abandoned GrimmHaus Asylum. You must explore the asylum’s various rooms, find useful items, and solve puzzles to unlock new areas and discover escape routes. At the same time, you’ll need to be on the lookout for the Doctor and his grotesque experiments.

The biggest addition to the Definitive Edition is the Nurse, a brand-new enemy who will actively pursue players throughout the campaign. Although slower than the eponymous doctor, the nurse introduces a completely different gameplay dynamic by using ranged attacks with a firearm, forcing players to rethink their routes, strategies, and survival tactics.

Under certain circumstances, you can disarm the Nurse, creating entirely new situations and possibilities within the game.

Doctor Viscera: Definitive Edition also introduces a new area to the map, featuring a tram system. In addition to serving as a new exploration route, it can also be used to quickly escape pursuers and travel between different sections of the asylum.

The update also brings improvements across multiple aspects of the experience, including:

  • Level design changes
  • Puzzle redesigns
  • Performance optimizations
  • New immersive audio system
  • Controller support
  • New menu interfaces
