There’s still no release date for the sci-fi RPG ELEX from Piranha Bytes but it now has a date of Q3 as opposed to Q1 which was the original plan.

A new prologue trailer tells the story right up to where players will join the action in the game.

“Magalan… home to a civilization of millions. After the comet hit, earthquakes shattered its cities and firestorms swept the planet. As Magalan fell into darkness, the survivors faced a world that was unrecognizable…”

Sounds like a lovely place for a holiday.

A mod of the original Red Dead Redemption is being created for GTA V and today the team revealed some footage.

The Red Dead Redemption GTA V mod is a story mode modification based on the Xbox version of the original game. The aim of the mod is to get as close to the original game as possible. With PC gamers never having had the opportunity to play what was hailed a huge hit on consoles, it’s not surprising a mod team has decided to utlise the power of GTA V to create a mod.

According to the ‘.White ‘ mod team working on this, it’s not been an easy nut to crack. This is not surprising because by all accounts Red Dead Redemption was a bit of a code mess. The mod team is aiming to make visual improvements on this PC version and they are remaking many of the maps.

The mod is not available yet but the plan is to get a beta out this summer. Let’s hope Rockstar don’t announce a PC version of the original before then or all this good work will go to waste. That’s pretty unlikely to happen at this late stage.

The ‘.White ‘  team has released the first trailer which shows off the scenery and it looks pretty damn good.

You can follow the development progress in this thread.

Update: For some unknown reason, the video has now vanished so keep an eye on the above linked thread in case it reappears.

Update 2: Take 2 steps in and puts a stop to the project.

Gun Media and IllFonic are just about ready to release Friday the 13th: The Game.

Sadly they couldn’t coincide the release with a Friday the 13th and have settled for 26 May which thankfully is a Friday.

This is a third-person horror survival game in which players take on the role of a teen counselor or Jason Voorhees. Players will have to stay alive as the teens while Jason will roam around using different abilities to scare the crap and eventually kills the pesky kids. Jason will also appear in various forms from all the different Friday the 13th movies.

As this is based on a classic movie series, it has a chance of being absolutely terrible but perhaps the subject matter might just be horrifying enough to make this one shine. The fact that it’s multiplayer focused might make this interesting.

The game will be on sale soon on Steam.
