With the servers for Sony's SOCOM games near death, it seems fans of team-based tactical third-person shooters are stuck for something to play.Or are they?Shining a light at the end of the tunnel is H-Hour: World's Elite, the new team-based tactical third-person shooter spearheaded by the creative director of the original SOCOM games, David Sears.This week developer SOF Studios released the first footage of the game, which was successfully crowdfunded through Kickstarter last year, raising $252,000 in the process.Sears was creative director of the SOCOM series on PlayStation 2 while at Zipper Interactive, and he describes H-Hour as the spiritual successor to SOCOM.The footage in the video, below, is captured from an early pre-alpha build of the game. SOF said it's developing a proof of concept demo so it can seek further funding from venture capital or a publisher to build the game. If all goes well, the finished product will release on PC and PlayStation 4 in January 2015.In March 2012 Sony announced it had closed Zipper Interactive after it had completed PS Vita game Unit 13. The last SOCOM game the studio made was SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs for PlayStation 3, which launched in April 2011. The SOCOM franchise has remained dormant ever since.

Slender: The Arrival, the official commercial remake of the browser-based horror phenomenon Slender: The Eight Pages, is coming to Xbox 360 and PS3 in Q1 2014.Published by Majesco's new indie label, Midnight City, this console version of Slender will contain two new "flashback levels" that unlock after completing the main campaign. Set before the rest of the game, these new stages will "delve deeper into the lives of those Slender Man has touched" as you take of the role of previous Slender Man victims.Worry not, PC users, as this new content will be added as a free update to the PC/Steam version of The Arrival following its console release.EG-contributor Simon Parkin spoke highly of Slender: The Arrival in his review where he noted the remake "masterfully uses these tricks [Slender Man's teleporting] to tap into honest truths: a fear of the dark that lurks somewhere in every person, the terror of being pursued and the horror of being caught."

Popular fantasy series The Witcher is getting its very own board game later this year.Entitled simply The Witcher Adventure Game, this latest project is a collaboration between CD Projekt Red and board game developer Fantasy Flight Games, who previously worked on board game spin-offs of such video game properties as Gears of War and Civilization.Headed by veteran board game designer Ignacy Trzewiczek, The Witcher Adventure Game allows players to take the roles of four characters: series' lead and monster slayer Geralt of Rivia, a bard called Dandelion, a sorceress named Triss Merigold, and dwarven warrior Yarpen Zigrin. Throughout the game players will hunt monsters, earn gold, go on missions, and navigate a web of shaky alliances.The story and the setting of The Witcher really lends itself to an adventure board game. We're looking forward to players being able to craft their own narrative during the course of the game," said Fantasy Flight Games' senior VP of communication and digital business Steve Horvath.

Service to be rolled out to North America consumers this summer, but broadband issues stifle European launch
Sony has unveiled plans to stream PS3 games to consoles, tablets, smartpones and Smart TV's through its new PlayStation Now service.
The new game streaming service will first allow users to stream games from the PS3 library to their PS4, PS3 and later, to the Vita.
US Bravia Smart TVs will also support streaming.
In future, Sony said it hoped to bring PlayStation game streaming to other internet-connected devices, including tablets and smartphones.
PlayStation Now is likened to TV and film streaming services such as Netflix, enabling users to stream games instantly across multiple devices whenever they want.
As games are hosted in the cloud, no updates will be required and saves will also be kept for access on any system.
It is not yet clear what the cost of the service will be, but Sony has said consumers will be able to rent titles, and it will also offer a subscription opening up a number of titles for instant access.
The US beta for PlayStation Now will begin at the end of January. It is expected to be rolled out for the general public in the summer.
A timeframe for the UK or Europe has yet to be announced. Sony noted that the broadband situation in Europe was "considerably more complex" than in North America.
"When it comes to broadband provision, Europe is a considerably more complex region, with a huge number of different providers and varying connection speeds from country to country. In short, we need a little more time to ensure a smooth and successful roll-out," read a statement from the firm.
PlayStation Now will use the technology from cloud gaming firm Gaikai, which Sony acquired in July 2012 for $380 million.

Sega and The Creative Assembly christened Alien: Isolation, very deliberately. As shown to me last month, the first-person shooter is intrinsically tied to the 1979 film that spawned the Alien franchise. That bond patently includes the look and feel of Ridley Scott's classic, but also a desire to realize its specific brand of horror: You, alone, are up against one Alien, the Alien, and that means you should be very, very afraid.
Revealed almost a year after Aliens: Colonial Marines was released, Isolationmay seem like Sega's response to widespread criticisms of a game that was horrifying for the wrong reasons. However, as UI Art & Design Lead Jon McKellan told me, The Creative Assembly always had survival horror in mind for its pitch to Sega, and the game it's now been developing for just over three years.
"The original film: everyone loves it, we all loved it, we were all really big fans," McKellan said. "It is a survival horror film, that's what's it is. It's just crying out to be a survival horror game, and we couldn't really understand why no-one had done it, [so] we took it with both hands."
The British studio wants to hook into the elements that defined the film: InIsolation, you play as Ellen Ripley's daughter, Amanda, a character previously limited to few mentions in the films. Isolation is set 15 years after the events ofAlien; Amanda, now an engineer for Weyland-Yutani, learns of a flight recording recovered from the Nostromo. Searching for answers to the questions surrounding her mother's disappearance, Amanda heads to where the recording was recovered, a decommissioned trading station called Sevastopol. It's a much larger, city-like setting compared to the Nostromo, but the end result is the same: You're a Ripley, and you're stuck in space with the most lethal killing machine in the universe.

To celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the Far Cry franchise, publisher Ubisoft has announced a special compilation package for PS3 owners. The Far Cry Compilation bundle features Joystiq favorites Far Cry 2, Far Cry 3 and, the standalone riot, Blood Dragon.
PlayStation 3 owners can stalk the jungles of the Far Cry universe on February 11 when the set is released at retail for $40.
Joystiq has asked Ubisoft if Far Cry Compilation – as it's officially named – will arrive on other platforms, but has not heard back at the time of publishing.

Sony President Andrew House has announced PlayStation Now, a new games streaming service that aims to bring older PlayStation games to PS4, PS3, PS Vita and other devices.
PlayStation Now, which will stream games from the original PlayStation, PS2 and PS3 eras first on PS3 and PS4, will kick off on PS3 with a closed beta in the US at the end of January, with a full rollout planned for some time this summer. Users will be able to rent games individually or pay for a PlayStation Now subscription. Sony aims to eventually expand the service beyond Sony devices too.
The foundation for PlayStation Now is Gaikai, the games streaming service Sony purchased for $380 million in 2012. Gaikai is responsible for a variety of PS4 features, including cloud gaming, Remote Play, Try Anything and Instant Broadcast, and other cloud services expected to launch later this year.
Four different PlayStation Now games are currently on-hand at the Sony CESbooth: The Last of Us,Beyond: Two Souls, God of War: Ascension andPuppeteer. So far, these are the only supported games Sony has announced.

Sony announced it's sold 4.2 million PlayStation 4 consoles worldwide as of December 28, 2013. Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House revealed the figure, which is estimated by SCEI, at his company's keynote at the CES trade show. The PS4 data was once again stipulated as "sell-through," meaning it represents units sold to consumers.
It's a dramatic doubling of the figure from December 1, 2013, meaning the company sold another 2.1 million units across the next 27 days of the month. In addition, the company estimates PS4 software sales through retail and digital channels are up to 9.7 million worldwide, while PS Plus subscriptions increased by more than 90 percent between the PS4 launch in North America and the end of the year - it's worth noting the PS4 comes with at least a 30-day Plus subscription in some regions, including the US and Canada.
Just ahead of the PS4's launch in North America, SCEA President and CEO Jack Tretton projected 3 million worldwide sales by the end of the year. We now know the console beat that figure by some way, and the company's next aim of5 million sales by the end of March looks a cert, given the PS4 is still to launch in Japan next month - the system is currently available in 53 markets worldwide.
The news comes the day after Microsoft announced Xbox One sales passed the 3 million mark by the close of 2013, across 13 markets worldwide.

Crystal Dynamics has detailed the numerous improvements players can expect to see in the upcoming PlayStation 4 and Xbox One release of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, explaining that the new port is "a colossal effort, soaked in visual enhancements and technical optimizations."
The game will run at a native 1080p resolution on the PS4 and Xbox One, and will be bolstered by a "buttery framerate" throughout. The new port is bundled with all of the game's previously released multiplayer DLC, along with the bonus The Tomb of the Lost Adventurer add-on, six alternate outfits, and a collection of digital comic books and documentary featurettes.
Lara herself has also seen an upgrade for the upcoming port, as Crystal Dynamics has implemented a new head and face model for the game's misfortune-prone protagonist, along with subsurface scattering technology that results in more realistic skin glow.
While a handful of games released last year for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 were available at a discounted rate for buyers who wished to upgrade to PS4 and Xbox One versions, Eidos notes that it will not offer a Definitive Editiondiscount for players who purchased a previous version of Tomb Raider on any platform. The company additionally revealed that Definitive Edition's upgrades are exclusive to current-gen consoles; an update for the Windows PC version ofTomb Raider is "not planned."
Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition will be priced at $59.99 when it launches in North America on January 28.

Colin Sebastian says Sony's latest is persistently out of stock, but Xbox One proving popular at mass market retailers
The sales battle between the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 is too early to call, but Baird Equity Research analyst Colin Sebastian gave his impressions of the competition in a note to investors this morning. Sebastian noted that the PS4 clearly improved its position since he made his pre-launch supply chain checks last year.
"[PS4] appears to have a slight momentum edge among core gamers, as demonstrated by premium prices paid on eBay and persistent out-of-stock reports from our retail checks. Nonetheless, Microsoft's Xbox One seems to have fared well among mass market/big box retailers, in part due to its positioning as a living room entertainment hub."
As for when consumers can reasonably assume to find both systems on store shelves without much trouble, Sebastian suggested February or March would mark the beginning of general availability for the Xbox One and PS4, and expects Microsoft and Sony to continue turning out systems at their current production levels with low failure rates.
While hardware sales will continue to be strong in the first quarter of 2014, Sebastian suggested software sales may not fare as well due to a relatively light release schedule. Significant titles like Titanfall, Infamous: Second Son, and Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes are expected by the end of March, but they will have tough comparisons against last year's Q1 slate, which featured new entries in a wealth of popular franchises like BioShock, Metal Gear, Tomb Raider, God of War, and Gears of War.

Microsoft Studios corporate vice president Phil Spencer has praised Sony's PS4 strategy in a new interview with OXM.
Asked what he's learnt from his rivals, the Xbox executive said Sony has "done a nice job with PS4". While Xbox One's launch campaign was initially bungled, Spencer pointed to Sony's clear PS4 messaging from the console's reveal last February through to its launch in November.
 "When I think about their announcement, their clear focus on a customer, leading with the value proposition of what they're trying to do, staying true to a vision, I think they've done a nice job in how they defined the PS4," he said.
Spencer also praised Sony's long-term commitment to new intellectual properties. "I really respect their focus on investing in new things and creative things, what they've done with David Cage and Quantic Dream around Beyond [Two Souls] and Heavy Rain; they stay committed to franchises even if they don't sell 10 million units, they'll stay committed to things.
"I think that long-term commitment to franchises is important, where it's easy to pull off the Band-Aid and move onto the next thing [if it doesn't sell]. I respect their 'stick-to-it-iveness'."
Spencer also had kind words for Nintendo, bigging up the company's catalogue of first party properties.
"Nintendo, I think - and there's some argument about this - that their first-party is such an amazing asset," he said. "Their first party studios and IP can lead what they do as a company and the platforms are almost in service to the IP - not in a bad way."

Indie game Don't Starve for PS4 and Ninja Theory's reboot DMC: Devil May Cry for PS3 will be free to US PlayStation Plus Subscribers from Tuesday, January 7.
Sony has confirmed these will be the latest two titles added to the US Instant Game Collection in this week's PlayStation Store update.
 Don't Starve drops players into a random-generated world with the burden of surviving for as long as possible. Players must balance their health, hunger and sanity as they traverse the fancifully designed playscapes. When sanity drops, players will hallucinate enemy creatures which can ultimately harm the them.
It will become the third PS4 game offered free to PS Plus subs following Resogun and Contrast.
3D action brawler DMC represented a refresh for the classic PS2 series, controversially reinventing Dante as a younger-looking hero.
Sony has confirmed that Galaga Legions (PS3) will leave the US Instant Game Collection on January 14.

If you're a Drakengard fan interested in the completely hypothetical "Drakengard 4" reaching the PlayStation 4, you should know that Drakengard 3Director Yoko Taro shares the sentiment!
Unfortunately, wanting something doesn't generate mounds of cash, and Taro'sresponse to a fan on Twitter explained that while he hopes to make such a PS4 title, he "can't have enough money for development."
Initial calls for Taro to take the project to Kickstarter were reasonably met with Taro noting that Drakengard is a Square Enix IP. Perhaps Taro's funding budget will be re-evaluated if enough fan interest is generated when Drakengard 3spreads its wings over Western territories in 2014.

Being born into royalty is a great thing if you're on top, or at least next in line for the throne - everyone else is just stuck waiting to even touch a crown for years. According to a Famitsu interview with Tales of Zestiria Producer Hideo Baba, as translated by Siliconera, protagonist Alicia holds the lowest-ranking seat among her family. That's alright though, as Alicia seems much more interested in filling the role of a knight than waiting around to rule.
She's described as being a bit on the serious side, which will offset the more upbeat, optimistic attitude of her traveling partner, Slay. Baba also said thatZestiria's combat will use "an evolved form of the current linear-motion battle system."
As we learned from Zestiria's debut trailer, a series-first focus on dragons will be present, but it's still unknown to what extent that theme will be covered.

A recently delayedBattlefield 4 double XP event for Premium members has been rescheduled. Originally supposed to take place on December 30, the new date for the event is ... today. It began at 8am ET this morning and will run for a total of 58 hours. If you've had your eyes on a particular unlock, now would be the time to log on. Here's hoping you can stay logged on.
In other Battlefield news, the "Mantle" update for AMD-powered PCs has been delayed. It was meant to launch in December, but AnandTech reports that Electronic Arts and AMD now plan to release the update in January. Mantle is expected to offer a hefty performance boost for machines packing AMD hardware.

 This DualShock 3 comes as part of Vita TV bundles. DualShock 4 support is promised in a future update.
Sony’s much-hyped home console may not reach Japan until February, but while the western world went mad for PS4 in November, the nation did get its own device – one tailored to the market.In its first week, PS Vita TV came third in the hardware charts behind 3DS XL and Vita, selling 42,172 units. The budget microconsole allows players to play their new copy of God Eater 2 – out the same week and even bundled with Vita TV at many stores – on their TV with upscaled 1080p visuals.Japan is no longer a home console market. 3DS consistently tops the hardware sales charts, and even Vita has been picking up since its price drop in February, thanks in part to a growing library of Monster Hunter clones and RPGs that appeal to local gamers. Vita TV, then, is a happy compromise, priced at a low ¥9,954 (£60), or ¥14,994 (£90) with a DualShock 3 controller and 8GB memory card. It suits a nation full of busy players who want to transfer their Vita games to the big screen after the commute home.There are limitations. With no touchscreen, touchpad, camera or gyros, Vita TV is incompatible with several high-profile Vita titles. Games such as Gravity Rush, Killzone: Mercenary and Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f simply do not launch, though Killzone will be patched in 2014. Still, plenty of big-name games are compatible with Vita TV, such as the forthcoming Final Fantasy X and X-2 HD remakes, along with over 100 other Vita games and an archive of PSP, PS1 and PC Engine games. The device also taps into services such as Niconico, Music Unlimited and Reader.
