Geekscape Games Podcast: Level 59 – ‘What The Hell Happened To 2015?!’

At the Playstation Experience, Double Fine announced that the legendary adventure title will arrive on Playstation 4, Playstation Vita, PC, Mac and Linux on January 27th! For nostalgic gamers who want to revisit the classic, or gamers like myself who have never been part of the PC Master Race and couldn’t play it when it was brand spanking new, it’s great to finally know when we’re going to be able to experience the title!

In addition, Double Fine released details on a few more titles that are on the way, including:

Broken Age: Coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita alongside our Act 2 PC release next year.

Gang Beasts: Also heading to PlayStation 4 on PC launch day next year!

Day of the Tentacle: Special Edition: This is a thing! It’s happening!

In addition to the recently released Costume Quest 2, it’s looking like a good year for the team. What are you excited to see? And will you be firing up Grim Fandango in late January? Comment below and be heard!

Geekscape Mobile: Double Fine Productions’ ‘Costume Quest’ On Sale For $2.99!

by Derek KraneveldtOctober 25, 2013

Briefly: Double Fine Productions’ Costume Quest surprised all of us when it suddenly appeared on the iOS App Store just a few weeks ago.

To celebrate the fact that Halloween is nearly here, the game has just gone on sale for the first time. Normally, the title would cost you a very reasonable $4.99, but through October 31st, Costume Quest is available for $2.99 (plus the DLC expansion is now just $0.99)!

If you’re an iOS user, you should be jumping on the opportunity to play this lauded, extremely overlooked gem. Head here to download, and let us know what you think!

Geekscape Mobile: Double Fine Productions’ ‘Costume Quest’ Launches On iOS!

by Derek KraneveldtOctober 10, 2013

Briefly: I did not expect this news today (or ever, really).

Double Fine Production’s wonderfully quirky adventure/RPG, Costume Quest, just hit the iOS App Store for the fantastic price of $4.99.

The game first launched on PS3 and Xbox 360 back in October 2010, where its originality, humour, and Paper Mario-esque combat were lauded by critics. Sadly, as seems typical with Double Fine titles, Costume Quest remained relatively under-the-radar. Could this iOS port give it the recognition it deserves?

Really, it’s a wonderful title, and one that is well worth its $4.99 asking price. It’s already a huge month for video games (in the last 30 days I’ve picked up Grand Theft Auto V, The Wind Waker HD, and Beyond: Two Souls… and Pokémon X/Y haven’t even released yet), but I’d implore you to take the chance on this one.

Already play the game? Be sure to share your thoughts on it below! You can grab the iOS version of Costume Quest here!

“Shadowrun Returns” Receives Funding For Game Development!

by Steven KunzApril 29, 2012

Crowdfunding has been making a big impact in the realm of video games, with the most famous being the Double Fine Adventure kickstarter started by Tim Schafer, which raised nearly $3.5 million dollars to fund development for their new game. It’s a model of funding that could become really big in the future, although I’m personally waiting to see when the 1st real failure of crowd-funding occurs, just so we can analyze and improve on the process of crowd-funding, enabling a better service for fans, consumers, and developers alike.

I am a huge fan of the SNES-era Shadowrun game, and to be able to play this game on the PC, with a level editor built into the game, does sound like a real treat, especially for fans of the Blade Runner/Deus Ex: Human Revolution aesthetic. And now we’ll hopefully get a chance, as the experience I’ve just described, entitled “Shadowrun Returns”, has successfully hit its Kickstarter goals! Well done, internet!
