This Week's Game News Recap

This week's game news has been filled with discussion about remakes and updates to classic games. For example, Master of Orion is set to receive a relaunch following an extended early access period. According to Gaming Dot Net, the company behind the franchise has announced that it will be launching on August 25th this year, priced at $30. The game's developers have been working hard to include new features such as espionage and economic victories, as well as an all-star voice cast featuring Mark Hamill, Alan Tudyk, John de Lancie, Michael Dorn, and Nolan North.

In addition to Master of Orion, there has also been a lot of discussion about fan remakes of the game. One notable example is another Metroid remake that was designed to bring the game to PC without using an emulator. The remake, which is not yet available online due to DMCA notices from Nintendo, will feature updated graphics and gameplay similar to modern titles in the Metroid series.

On a related note, Pokemon Uranium has finally released its latest version, featuring a brand-new region called Tandor with over 150 custom-made Pokémon. The game was made using RPG Maker XP and includes entirely new Pokémon that are not part of the official Nintendo franchise. However, it's worth noting that the game still uses some of the same issues that other fan-made games face, such as CMDs and similar problems.

Rumors have also been circulating about a potential update to another classic game, this time from Blizzard Entertainment. According to Korean news outlet I News 24, Blizzard is set to reveal Starcraft HD at either BlizzCon in November or the StarCraft II World Championship in September. The source of this rumor claims that Blizzard has internal plans for the game, although it's unclear how reliable this information is.

Finally, Nvidia has announced its plans to leverage resources and support indie game developers through their Indie Spotlight and Video series. These efforts will begin by packing indie games with hardware, similar to what they do with triple-A games, in addition to including indie titles on their streaming service available on the Shield. This move shows that there is a growing recognition of the importance of indie games in the gaming industry and the support needed for developers to create high-quality content.

Overall, this week's game news has been filled with updates and discussions about classic games, fan remakes, and emerging trends in the gaming industry.
