The annual press conference of Devolver has freed itself from the stifling contingencies of a sadly chilly industry by stuffing its countdown with 30 minutes of crazy storytelling mixed with breathtaking game announcements. A huge media hype from which the competition will certainly have a hard time recovering, relegated to the role of a discount Sisyphus just good at carrying the same « show-off » productions ad nauseam. It’s hard to see how future digital marketing events can recover from such a lesson in audacity. A true master class (give strength to the networks, brothers).
There were also a few game announcements. What do you expect, the makers do Cult of the Lamb will be released on August 11th and has a playable demo on Steam now Anger Foot also has a demo on Steam, which is pretty good news, you’ll agree Skate Story and The Plucky Squire don’t have a demo, but they do have nice trailers that you can watch over and over if you want. And did you know that Card Shark was available? In its great mercy, Devolver agrees to give you below a few more crumbs on the most incredible video game catalog since the SEGA Saturn.
