Capy Fine Racing GP is a new racer starring Capy and Double Fine characters to be released on 3.5” floppy discs at PAX East, Capy co-founder Nathan Vella has told us.
Studios Capy and Double Fine are sharing a booth at the event, and have teamed up to develop the racer. “Ken [Yeung] and Vic [Nguyen] made a game called Capy Fine Racing GP, which is a little jokey – but still rad fun – OutRun-style racer staring Capy and Double Fine characters,” Vella told us.
“The game will be released on the 3.5″ floppies that come inside the Capy and Double Fine limited edition boxed bundle, AKA the retail version of the Steam bundle that we just launched which includes both studios’ Steam games. We only made 200 boxes, and even then some of the floppies might not work, but the people who buy them will be allowed and encouraged to share the game.”
It is not intended to be a ‘serious’ game, added Vella. “It’s just something we did for pure fun and loving the idea of doing cool shit with our friends, in the spirit of the Capy Double Fine PAX combo. While it’s totally a real game, it’s also not at all a real game.”

If this is only the first day of the promo, we're going to need to keep an eye out.
Battlefield 4 is set to be formally announced by EA on March 26, and to hype the reveal, the company put out a teaser trailer today.
The "Prepare for Battle: Sea" trailer showcases a spinning propeller...and that's it, really. Propeller fanatics might find it to be the most enthralling 20 seconds of their day.
The rest of you might be better served to wait until something of substance surfaces.
Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 is not better than any Call of Duty game -- okay, maybe Declassified . Despite developer City Interactive copying its formula, beat for beat, there are some readers that will grimace at this comparison. Unfair, some may call it. So, how about comparing it to what is the definitive sniping experience up to this point in videogames? Hell yeah, I'm referring to Silent Scope!
After Sniper Ghost Warrior 2, I'm starting to realize there is nothing a developer can do to eclipse the experience of depending on your own accuracy, patience, and physical endurance in Silent Scope. Sniper Elite V2 filled the void with shoddy stealth mechanics, while Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 seems to not try at all.
If you read our hands-on preview of Beyond: Two Souls this morning, you'll be glad to see that this video clip shows off much of the same section of game I played through. This lets you see for yourself how the game is looking in what Quantic Dream says is still in the alpha stage.
The video doesn't show everything, and my playthrough was a bit different, but this gives you a good idea of what it looked like. Check out Jodie's hoodie!

Let's get straight to it: the Season Pass for Injustice: Gods Among Us includes access to four unannounced DLC playable characters in addition to alternate costumes for Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Deathstroke.
The pricing is $14.99 / 1200 Microsoft Points, which Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment says is "four [characters] for the price of three." I'm generally wary of paying up front, whether it be pre-ordering or buying a season pass, but at least we have something to go on here -- NetherRealm Studios previously did a pass for Mortal Kombat .
Additionally, NetherRealm and Warner Bros. included screenshots for the recently-announced fighters Black Adam and Raven, viewable below along with an image for this season pass.
