Under the “Platform” category, for “Best Console Game – Sony PlayStation 4,” there are two familiar sights: “Marvel’s Spider-Man” and “Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.” In addition, there’s a third game: “Project Mephisto,” which is denoted as a working title. It’s the only outlier on the list, as the rest of it is comprised of titles we’ve either seen in action or learned plenty about, but this is a curious addition that begs further investigation.
Cord Smith, the former director of marketing for Compulsion Games' well-known title We Happy Few, has gone through quite a change since leaving the studio. This is represented by his new indie platformer Always In Mind, which takes players into a bizarre dream world full of fantasies inside the head of a little boy named Teddy. Sector got the chance to ask the industry veteran a few questions about his inspirations for the game.
Wccftech joined a press roundtable Q&A with Blizzard to learn more about The War Within, World of Warcraft's tenth expansion that is now in Alpha.
Devstream 178 was filled with so many cool announcements for the game's community, and were able to ask a lot of questions about Warframe: 1999 and more!
Hype
Mephisto, amongst other things, is a big marvel villain. An early tease of Sony's next Marvel game. Probably wishful thinking.
l'm going to go out on a limb (because that's where the fruit is) and say that Project Mephisto are controllers for VR locomotion, because Mephisto is also the name of a shoe company founded by a German Frenchman (Martin Michaeli). The company's claim to fame is that its shoes "are distinguished by unparalleled walking comfort".
Walking being the operative word, something is afoot... What better place and time for SIE to reveal Project Mephisto than Gamescom (Germany), fresh off of its announced 3 million PSVRs sold.
Mephisto from the Diablo series.
The name Mephisto is pretty enticing.
