Epic Citadel is now available for play through a web browser. Epic and Mozilla collaborated on creating the HTML5 tech demo in just four days to showcase the power and flexibility of the Unreal Engine and Firefox. Also, they wanted to show off by creating a whole castle in a browser in less time than I took to fail at ordering my Netflix queue.
The tech demo has been available on iOS and Android for since 2010. To check out the demo, you’ll need to use Firefox Nightly version 23. Neither Chrome nor Internet Explorer are supported, although Google says they are looking into it.
Hey, don’t complain. It’s got as much gameplay as Dear Esther.
Zen Studios’ Pinball FX 2 on the consoles was an huge hit on Quarter to Three. Scores were challenged, smack was talked, and dreams were crushed. Pinball wizards gathered together to mash flippers and pump fists when multiballs bounced. Such was the stuff of pinball dreams.
The only thing missing was PC players, but since Zen saw fit to release their initial PC version as a Windows 8 app, there were few people playing. That’s finally going to change. Pinball FX 2 will be hitting Steam on May 10th and will work with Windows 7! Finally, the majority of Steam gamers will be able to experience the red-hot rage of posting a high score only to have someone else post a better one within minutes.
The basic Pinball FX 2 client will be free, but packs of tables will be $9.99 each. These packs will inlcude Star Wars, Marvel, Marvel: Vengeance and Virtue, Marvel: Avengers Chronicles, the Pinball FX2 Core Collection and Zen Classics.
ZeniMax Online released the Journey to Coldharbour trailer to remind gamers that they have a game coming up. Looks pleasant enough, I guess. Longtime Elder Scrolls antagonist Molag Bal seems to be fond of a certain unified color scheme. Hopefully, that doesn’t hurt Coldharbour’s guest ratings.
