Does death come before dishonor? When it’s staring at you in the face, honor may not be a factor anymore. Gordon Van Dyke, Senior Producer, divulges details on the stark differences in ranged arsenal available for medieval third-person massacre-er War of the Roses. Players will get a close look at the forthcoming long distance arsenal, including the longbow and newly introduced flintlock, as Van Dyke provides new insight to those who like dealing death from afar. War of the Roses will enable players to select from a total of 60 weapon types, pulverizing their opponents whichever way they can in this epic and gritty multiplayer title.

More is more, especially when it comes to action movie archetypes. Paradox Interactive has released footage from their recent TwitchTV live stream event showcasing The Showdown Effect, the 2.5D cheesy action movie-inspired sidescroller from Magicka developers Arrowhead Game Studios. Relive the broadcast with Arrowhead’s Design Director Emil Englund and Paradox Interactive Producer Shams Jorjani and watch them answer questions from the community about specific game mechanics and monkeys.
