Last Fall, another Battlefield game was confirmed to be in the works. The title is slated to push the boundaries of previous Battlefield innovations while staying true to the franchise’s definitive multiplayer experience, “DICE is creating our next Battlefield game with never-before-seen scale,” stated an EA representative. “The technical advancements of the new consoles are allowing the
PC
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Have I played Hitman: Contracts? Yes…and no. In typical fashion, I rinsed a demo of it when I was younger and never actually bought the game. It was very vintage Ian Hitman, but I reckon he
Last week, Sony Interactive Entertainment president Jim Ryan confirmed that more of their first-party exclusives would be coming to PC. In the past couple of days, Sony have confirmed that they are restructuring Sony Japan Studio, with many developers leaving while others are absorbed into other teams. So, maybe Sony don’t realise that Japan Studio’s
Hu Tao is the spooky 77th director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, presiding over all manner of funeral services in Liyue, and she’s coming to Genshin Impact soon. Hu Tao is a polearm wielder and pyro element, so she’ll likely take over a spot in your crew that’s currently being filled by Diluc or Xiangling. Of
Arkane’s next FPS game Deathloop looks absoltuely rad. Their new murder sandbox seems like Dishonored meets Hitman, and that’s certainly no accident. Its made by Dishonored’s developers, sure, but Arkane now say they’re bringing “quite a few” of the supernatural abilities that you’ll remember to Deathloop. If you thought you’d spotted some familiar skills in
Ghost of Tsushima was visually stunning and had a story that made me completely rethink how I saw the samurai genre. With its open-world beauty and incredible multiplayer post-launch add-ons, this game feels like it was built with PC in mind. I’ve run through the story of Tsushima twice now on PlayStation and adored everything
The PlayStation 5 is an impressive machine, but a big issue has plagued its players across the board: the inability to upgrade its internal storage. The PS5’s SSD only has 667GB of available storage (a lot less than Xbox Series X’s 885GB SSD), and with triple-A games typically sizing up at around 50GB to 70GB
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time… On paper, Murder By Numbers is pretty much my dream game. It’s a murder mystery visual novel (check) featuring lots of Picross-style nonogram puzzles (double check) with a soundtrack composed by Phoenix Wright‘s toe-tapping musical legend,
Night Dive Studios’ System Shock Remastered has been in the works since 2016, when pre-alpha footage was shown. The original System Shock, released back in 1994, was critically acclaimed and would go on to inspire the revolutionary Bioshock franchise. System Shock follows the first-person exploits of a nameless hacker, charged with disabling a malevolent AI
In total, 48 million players have used a controller for a game on Steam at some point. Valve have shared that and other big numbers in their breakdown on some new Steamworks tools that help developers see the type and prevalence of controller use for their games. For us routine controller users, that could mean
Anthem launched almost exactly two years ago, and the launch was rough. Many fans who saw the potential in the original version have been waiting for BioWare’s “Anthem Next” update to transform the beleaguered game and turn things around (like Final Fantasy XIV or No Man’s Sky). Unfortunately, that transformation will not happen. Today BioWare
I have not played Valheim yet, but it would be better in first-person – because all games are better in first-person. Thankfully there is now a mod that crams the survival game’s usual third-person camera into the player’s skull.
The Super Mario event is headed to Animal Crossing: New Horizons for players to enjoy and it brings with it a ton of unique ways for the two franchises to intertwine. Coins, Warp Pipes, costumes, and more are on the way, but some have been wondering exactly how the Warp Pipes will work in Animal
It may be all heavy metal and shotguns and space demons but no no, this isn’t Doom. Jupiter Hell is the distinctly not-Doom turn-based roguelike that’s been in early access for a year and a half. It’s nearly reached the end of a run, but there’s always a new run after, isn’t there? Jupiter Hell
Sony confirmed a Twisted Metal TV series back in May of 2019, but since then news has been mum. Luckily, that’s changed, because more details have arrived, including who is behind the latest adaptation and what fans can expect. The upcoming Twisted Metal TV show will be a live-action adaptation under the umbrella of Sony
Modbox is a multiplayer game creation sandbox. OpenAI GPT-3 is a tool that generates human-like text. Replica is a tool that generates human-like voice acting. Combine these three things, as Modbox developer Lee Vermeulen did, and you get: given the brush off by shouty NPCs you can have conversations with, in VR, with your real
I hadn’t heard of Voyage until just a few hours ago, which seems like a waste. I could have spent months or years looking forward to this game, and instead it’s here already, available to buy and looking beautiful. Voyage is an about two people wordlessly exploring a series of hand-painted landscapes, solving puzzles and
While Diablo II: Resurrected isn’t trying to precisely duplicate the original’s look, the newly-announced remaster is making an impressive effort to match some parts. Watching a panel at BlizzCon today, I was delighted to hear about how they dug up ancient Blizzard assets to recreate and even reuse in the remaster. My favourite titbit: the
Fortnite has been embracing crossover character skins for ages now, and two big names are about to join the cast! More information is dropping tomorrow evening at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time via official Epic channels, but for now we’ve got a spiffy new reveal trailer showcasing Ryu and Chun-Li from the Street Fighter franchise. After Master Chief, Kratos, and
While the recent news that Overwatch 2 isn’t expected to launch this year hit just a bit ago, BlizzConline gave players a peek behind the scenes to development and more. In a long presentation that you can check out online, key figures behind the game walk players through a smattering of updates, including two new maps
Valheim is everywhere right now. If you’ve been paying attention to gaming at all in the last few weeks, you’ve probably seen something about this unique Norse survival game. Valheim has been climbing the charts since its Early Access launch this month, and now developer Iron Gate Studio and publisher Coffee Stain have provided some impressive sales numbers
The demo has returned! Between the limited-time abundance of the quarterly Steam games festival, the spread of standalone ‘Prologue’ releases, and just straightforwardly available demos on Steam game pages, it seems clear that it’s not a fad. Thank heck? Here’s the latest game to have a demo: Rustler, a topdown medieval action game that frequently
The first trailer for Mortal Kombat has arrived and, frankly, it actually looks pretty damn good. The film is set to premiere April 18 in theaters and as well as HBO Max on the same day. Director Simon McQuoid promised the series’ signature gore, namely Fatalities, would be represented in the film and, so far,
Ian MacLarty’s original Catacombs Of Solaris was a weird maze of bright colors and visual tricks in which the only real objective was to find your favorite room. Or least hated room, perhaps. The Catacombs Of Solaris Revisited is an updated version that’s slightly easier on the eyes but likely no easier on the brain.
Backwards compatibility is a feature that Xbox fans enjoyed with the previous generation and that play on nostalgia carried beautifully into the current-gen with the Xbox Series X/S. To make this perk even better (beyond never having to leave old favorites behind), Microsoft has revealed a new feature with FPS Boost. Xbox senior program manager
HighFleet mixes together aerial combat between enormous war machines with strategic planning via a skeuomorphic interface covered in switches, knobs, and other physical tools. It’s as aesthetically exciting to me as any other game in development, but now I have a better sense of how it’s going to play due to a new 30 minute
New World is the upcoming MMORPG from publisher Amazon Game Studios and developer Double Helix, though according to the original plan, it was supposed to be out by now. The game was scheduled to be released last August, but was delayed in the interest of refining the experience. The revised release window was spring 2021,
The giant overhaul mod that creates a new RPG within Skyrim‘s engine now has its own Special Edition upgrade. Enderal‘s creators have moved on to a new project, but fans of the mod have created a version that will work with Skyrim Special Edition if you’re avoiding going back to oldrim for your modding needs.
Zack Snyder’s Justice League premieres March 18 on HBO Max, and the film’s latest trailer gives DC-loving hopefuls another look at the long-awaited “Snyder cut”. The four-hour epic serves as the definitive version of the 2017’s Justice League and features newly added scenes and narrative threads. The trailer provides glimpses of previously revealed plot elements, such as
Disc Room is a nice videogame. It’s a topdown dodge ’em up in which you must dash between spinning blades to survive long enough to unlock new rooms. It’s made by a group of developers including Jan Willem Nijman and Kitty Calis, who previously worked together on Minit. Nijman has been keeping a Twitter thread
