[Updated] OtherSide Potentially Teaming With Tencent to Save ‘System Shock 3’?
UPDATE: OtherSide has confirmed that they’ve teamed up with Tencent for System Shock 3.
1/2 We are happy to announce that Tencent will be taking the #SystemShock franchise forward.

It’s been the big unknown for OtherSide Entertainment and System Shock 3, what with staff being laid off and OtherSide’s Warren Spector still searching for a publisher after having bought the rights back after Starbreeze imploded. There appears to be a glimmer of good news for the developers and the game, however.
Video Games Chronicle reports that SystemShock3.com and SystemShock4.com domains are now owned by Chinese company Tencent, which is supported by the domain profiles on DomainTools as of April 13th. Neither site is currently active, however, and OtherSide uses a different site to share development news on System Shock 3.
This might all be a strange coincidence, but nevertheless it’s something in the form of hope for System Shock fans. Meanwhile, Nightdive’s System Shock remake is still coming along, though the team hasn’t had an update since March on the development.

New ‘Lethal Wedding’ Trailer Details The Co-Op Mayhem [Watch]
Hot on the heels of the recent dev vlog, Mega Cat Studios has given prospective Lethal Wedding players more to chew on with a new gameplay trailer. The latest footage shows off the game’s over-the-top co-op action, as bride Joanna and her murderous mother-in-law turn a wedding into a war zone. And in keeping with its Zombies Ate My Neighbors inspirations, you’ll have a variety of items at your disposal, from ballistic balloon animals and acid-spewing trick flowers to grenade-launching bridal bouquets and the monstrous Bridezilla power-up.
This all coincides with the final week for the Lethal Wedding Kickstarter, which has continued to rake in contributions with over 300% of its initial goal. In fact, the latest goal has LucasArts legend Bill Tiller (The Curse of Monkey Island) bringing his iconic art style to the game with an alternate cover art:

When a drug ring of criminal clowns crashes a bachelor party and kidnaps the groom-to-be, it’s up to the bride and her mother-in-law to mount a rescue. Players will battle their way through psychopathic circus performers, bazooka-toting bearded ladies, and murderous mobsters across over 30 levels of carnage, all while juggling mother-daughter issues, wedding planning, and…literal jugglers.
Team up with a friend for intense couch co-op gameplay, and beware the innovative Vow System, which keeps the stakes high by challenging players to complete randomized objectives before reaching the end of each stage. You know what they say, “till death do us part!”
Lethal Wedding is currently in development for release on PC via Steam, and in physical form to the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive.
