The spectacular parkour shooter Severed Steel will be released on consoles in July

Last year Severed Steel, an action game about a nimble one-armed girl who shoots enemies in slo-mo, came to PC.
Now the game is getting ready to launch on consoles - it will be next month.The release schedule looks like this:PlayStation - July 20.Nintendo Switch - July 21.Xbox - July 22.The console version of Severed Steel contains almost all the content that came out on PC - the campaign, \"Shootout\" and \"New Game +\" modes, 42 levels, 27 weapons, 5 hand guns and 22 modifiers.
The only exception is the built-in level editor: it will remain PC-exclusive.
However, as a bonus on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series will add a selection of custom maps.Recall, in Severed Steel you play as a girl named Steele, who became disabled due to an evil corporation.
The path to vengeance is blocked by crowds of fighters, but it's no problem for Steele - she can quickly run, including along the walls, jump, make spikes and take away enemies' weapons.
According to Igor Yeryshev, it turned out amazing - the action here is not worse than in Max Payne and F.E.A.R., despite the fact that this is not an expensive blockbuster.PC version of Severed Steel is available on Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG and Humble Store.

Getting Spider-Man on Xbox wasn't hard, says Midnight Suns creative director

Marvel's Midnight Suns fresh trailer showed a friendly neighbor of Spider-Man.
Despite companies fighting over the rights to the superhero, the guy in the red and blue tights will appear as part of Midnight Suns on all platforms.In Marvel's Avengers, Parker became an exclusive character for PlayStation - because of this, he wasn't even prescribed a story campaign.
So gamers were worried that in Midnight Suns, the superhero will again make his way only on Japanese consoles.
However, speaking to VGC, creative director Jake Solomon said that the team has no problems with the porting of Spider-Man to the Xbox-version: He will be on the Xbox, there's no problem with that.
It's great that our game will be the first in a long time to [make the character playable on a Microsoft console].
Spidey has always been part of the MS character set, and we haven't met any resistance from Marvel.
According to Solomon, Peter Parker is much needed for the game because its beginning unfolds in New York, and it's \"generally a story about New York.\" In addition, the leader believes that the darker the overall tone of the narrative, the lighter the jokes should be - Spidey is perfectly suited for such a role.The last time Spider-Man stopped by on Xbox was in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 in 2017.
Some will recall that Fortnite was releasing a look for Parker, but this is exactly the skin - to play as a friendly neighbor in some new projects Xbox owners could not for quite some time.Marvel's Midnight Suns comes out on October 7 on PC, PlayStation Xbox and Nintendo Switch.
The version for the latter will be a little late.

Media: Nintendo has frozen a near-finished game because it got terrible reviews from gamers

Journalist Imran Khan has a curious story, citing his sources: It turns out that Nintendo has a near-finished game, but the company doesn't know what to do with it - they say it got such terrible reviews from gamers that the release could hurt Nintendo's image.We're talking about the sequel to 1-2 Switch, a collection of minigames, which was released simultaneously with the launch of Nintendo Switch.
The 1-2 Switch received subdued public reviews, but it sold well, with 3.45 million copies sold, according to Hahn.Nintendo wanted to release a second installment of the 1-2 Switch, but in a way that didn't render the first useless and both games could be quietly sold at the same time.
The sequel was called Everybody's 1-2 Switch, and the game had a concept change.1-2 Switch Trailer.The 1-2 Switch mini-games focused on two participants with half a \"joy-con\" each.
Everybody's 1-2 Switch was inspired by the Jackbox Party Packs, the controllers could be smartphones, and the lobby could hold up to 100 people through the Network.
A rectangular horse was invented to play the role of the host, who looked like a man wearing a rubber horse mask.
Among the mini-games were musical chairs, bingo, and even a family version of \"the bottle\" - participants had to say compliments to each other.At one point Everybody's 1-2 Switch had internal tests.
The impressions of the players were awful: Members of the target audience (families with children) found the game boring.Many abandoned the game in the middle of a round.
For example, in bingo you had to shake the controller first, a simulation of the process of getting the winning number.
But playtesters called that element boring.The localizers of Everybody's 1-2 Switch got hooked on the horse as the host and started calling the game horseshit.Games in the development phase often get bad reviews, after which they are sent back for revision or quietly canceled.
But according to Hahn, no one expected the reviews for Everybody's 1-2 Switch to be so devastating.
Some Nintendo employees even speculate that the release of such a bad game could be a blow to the company's reputation-the Big N is used to seeing high quality.
At one time, 1-2 Switch even got a little noticed because some of the mini-games there looked outlandish.
It's not often you and your friend are offered video games to compete in milking cows! Nintendo bosses thought that giving Everybody's 1-2 Switch extra development time wasn't a problem, and began preparing the release further: printing the covers and inserting them into packages.
As a result, there are now huge batches of empty cartridge boxes lying around in warehouses, waiting for a game that has no release date.Nintendo doesn't know what to do with Everybody's 1-2 Switch.
Some think the game can be released as it is - after all, the first 1-2 Switch also had sour press reviews, but that didn't stop it from racking up huge sales.
Others suggest slipping the game in as an extra offering on the most expensive version of the Nintendo Switch Online subscription - saying that if they don't ask extra money for Everybody's 1-2 Switch, then the poor quality will get less attention.Khan doesn't rule out that Nintendo will simply cancel the game, but his sources have a different opinion: the company will try very hard to release Everybody's 1-2 Switch one way or another.
