Woolfe - The Red Hood Diaries: Release Date, Trailer and Steam Early Access

Hi!

Woolfe finally has a release date. It will be released March 17, but you don't need to wait until that date since Volume 1 is now available on Steam Early Access. It will stay as an Early Access game until the official release. This time frame will help the developers to find out bugs that might have been missed during the alpha/beta. I really like the promise of a more polished game via usage of Steam Early Access system.

Kickstarter backers can get their Steam Early Access keys here. All you need to do is logging in with your Kickstarter e-mail and clicking Show Key button. During the Early Access phase final boss fight and the ending of the game will not be revealed to the players. The second volume of Woolfe is to be released on August 2015.

Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Release Date Delayed

Hi!

CD Projekt Red announced that they pushed the release of Witcher 3: Wild Hunt twelve weeks due to the amount of bugs and features that are not working correctly currently. This means that the game will hopefully be released on May 19, 2015. CD Projekt apologized for setting a release date that they could not be met.

To be honest, I don't know whether I should feel angry or content. I guess I'm a little bit angry since I've pre-ordered the game thinking that it will be released soon, and now I payed for it like 6 months in advance. On the bright side, I will receive a game with less bugs hopefully. We all know how utterly ridiculous it was to release a game with a heap of bugs that won't let you play as in AC Unity. I'd rather wait than to get a game full of bugs that will need patches to work correctly. I think I'm not the only one that have mixed feelings against this delay judging the comments submitted for the articles about this delay. Majority support the delay since they don't want to get an unfinished or unpolished product while expressing their disappointment.

Steam Adds Broadcast Option (Beta)

Hi!

Steam has just introduced Steam Broadcasting Beta  . It is different than Twitch streaming as I understood from the explanation given by Steam. To watch any of friends on Steam, you just need to go to their Steam profile and click Watch Game   button and your friend automatically starts live streaming.

What if you want to stream your game?  

It seems there is not any start streaming button at all. At the very first time a friend of your's requests to watch your gameplay, you will be presented with preferences on who could watch your stream. You can configure your streams as

• anyone can watch
• only friends can watch
• only friends can request to watch
• only friends that you invite to watch can watch.

After this configuration is complete, every time you start playing a game on your Steam library and someone clicks Watch Game   button, you start broadcasting. You can stop your broadcast by simply exiting the game or by using the Stop option on Broadcast Panel at Steam Overlay.

Unlike Twitch, there is no camera support in Steam Broadcast. Although you can still use your microphone or chat panel to chat with your audience. You can't save your stream to be watched later either.

You can currently watch streams by the Steam users who broadcasts their games publicly here.

How to Enable Steam Broadcasting?  

You should both the streamer and his/her friends need to opt in to Steam Client Beta.

Which platforms are supported?  

Only Windows 7 and Windows 8 are supported at the moment. 

OSX, Linux and Windows Vista are planned to be supported in the future.
