Dog Duty is ready to wreak havoc as it hits Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam on September 17, 2020. Get ready to destroy some octopuses in classic 80’s and 90’s Real Time Tactics style. #DogDutyGame
In Dog Duty, players control a squad of misfits as they go up against some evil bigwig Octopus Commander and his army who are threatening world-peace. In this fun, fast-paced Real Time Tactics game, you go into combat and use guerrilla warfare to eliminate all octo-scum. Fight on top of your moving vehicle as you go from island to island to liberate outposts and defeat wicked bosses in their crazy octo-machines. Wreck those squids up, but beware, they’re well-armed.
Dog Duty was inspired by classic games and TV series such as Commandos and G.I. Joe. Created based on the nostalgic memories from developer Zanardi & Liza, classic villains such as Mojo Jojo from The Powerpuff Girls and Dr. Eggman from Sonic the Hedgehog played a big part in the development of the evil octopus army. It’s the way these villains think of themselves as the greatest beings alive. The same characteristics apply to the octo-bosses that players have to fight against in Dog Duty. The octopuses lend themselves well to powerful and unique creatures that bring a healthy dose of humor and chaos, much like the villains from classic 80s and 90’s series. The retro graphics, upbeat music and fast-paced Real Time Tactics style of the game provide a unique old school feel that appeal to young and old.
The octopus-infested Real Time Tactics game will be released on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Steam PC's on September 17, 2020 and is available to pre-order digtally today.
While the latest console generations have offered some of the most unique and exciting video games, they’ve also been plagued with dozens of releases, remasters, and remakes of older games. These games are fun to play, there’s no doubt in that, but are there too many of them?
Console, PC, Smartphone & Casino re-releases
The last few years have experienced a slew of re-releases. We’ve seen both the original Crash Bandicoot and Spyro trilogy release on current-gen consoles, we’ve seen remakes of Resident Evil Two and Three, a remake of 1997’s Final Fantasy VII, and, recently announced, remakes of the PS1’s first two Tony Hawk Pro Skater games, the first two Mafia games, and according to rumours several older Super Mario games. It doesn’t end there, however, as games from previous console generations have been rereleased as collections with added visual improvements too.
The remakes aren’t just limited to home consoles as companies have been developing and releasing remakes such as Age Of Empires II and Command And Conquer for PC. Meanwhile, smartphone game developers have been releasing older games such as SEGA’s Sonic The Hedgehog for iPhones and Android devices, and casino game developers have been re-releasing classic video slots with updated visuals and gameplay mechanics or they’ve been remaking older slot machines games for online casinos. Having a glimpse at Casinostoplay.com, a leading review website for Internet gambling, you notice that many casino sites boast more than 1000 games with many of them being re-release from the olden days.
As you can see, much of the gaming industry has become overtaken by these re-releases. While many enjoy seeing older games return with updated graphics and gameplay, these many re-releases aren’t a great thing.
The Drawbacks of Re-Releases
The constant slog of re-releases, while fun and exciting, can take development time and resources away from studios who could be developing brand new single-player or multiplayer games. Yes, developers are still working on and releasing new games but since they take several years to create, we’re seeing these new games appear less frequently compared to previous generations.
Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II is now available on Xbox LIVE for 1200 Microsoft Points ($15). The game weighs in at 414.31 MB with a free playable demo for Xbox LIVE Gold subscribers.
"Sonic 4: Episode II is very special because we’ve integrated community feedback into the game," said Haruki Satomi, Senior Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA of America. "We have some of the most loyal and dedicated fans and I hope they enjoy this next chapter in the Sonic 4 saga."
