In the second part of building your own Vpin we take a look at the…
Kingdom Come: Deliverance studio co-founder says a lot of RPGs are ‘still games for teenagers,’ and that he’s ‘tired of all the RPGs where you are this chosen one’
In a recent interview with PC Gamer’s Joshua Wolens, Warhorse Studios co-founder Martin Klima traced the inspirations for Kingdom Come: Deliverance back to boredom with the typical RPG—kill the dark lord, romance a companion or two, and so on. Klima added that this formula is still a mite too widespread even now for his tastes,…
Brigador devs: ‘The ’90s PC classics often taught really special things, but not because the story said, Wow, violence is bad!’
Brigador was a great sleeper hit of mech and simmy gaming, and studio Stellar Jockeys recently released its ambitious follow-up, Brigador Killers, into early access. I spoke to lead developers, brother duo Hugh and Jack Monahan, over the summer. They told me about the challenges of adding on-foot gameplay, the importance of not trying to…
Review: Minecraft Dungeons II (Switch 2) – A Fun But Flawed Dungeon-Crawling Sequel With Great Co-Op
Creepers, Skellies, oh my. A traditional adventure format seems an ill fit for something as freeform as Minecraft. The Markus ‘Notch’ Persson-created global phenomenon is an experience built on creativity with endless scope for experimentation, so constricting it within the boundaries of genre seems misguided. That said, the franchise has enough cultural pull that it…
What does your dream videogame concert look like?
It feels like the last few years have seen a huge upsurge in videogame concerts, at least over here on British soil anyway. Undertale, The Legend of Zelda, Stardew Valley, The Witcher 3, Sonic, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Final Fantasy. The list goes on and on! It’s been a heartwarming sight—despite my saltiness at half of them…
RuneScape is getting a new character type that promises a fresh start, but existing players are wary of splitting the community up
It’s very easy to look at RuneScape Reignited’s announcement blog or fancy trailer and assume it’s a new upgraded version of the classic game—it certainly walks and talks like one, not dissimilar to the upcoming World of Warcraft: Forever. “Begin the journey anew with a year of restoration changes paving your path,” et cetera. But…
Tonda Ros, creator of Blue Prince, has played UFO 50 for almost 700 hours: ‘I think it’s easily my favourite game of the last 20 years’
Disk Cleanup (Image credit: Future) Welcome to Disk Cleanup, our regular weekend feature delving into the PCs of PC gaming luminaries. Come back every weekend to read a new interview, digging into the important questions, like “How tidy is your desktop?” and “What game will you never uninstall?” Tonda Ros was first drawn to PC…
Silent Hill: Townfall is the first horror game to make me feel bad for using a shotgun
Silent Hill: Townfall is a suffocating experience, especially if you’re like me and love tormenting yourself with stealth, limiting the use of any kind of weapon. I spent almost all of my first playthrough forgoing any pipe or plank, or even pistol in favour of my trusty CRTV and top-notch strategy. But my pacifist run…
The Making Of: The Elders Scroll II – Daggerfall – “The Next Thing I Know, I’m Building One Of The Largest Procedurally Generated Games Ever”
We take a look at the history of Bethesda’s groundbreaking, yet flawed, RPG classic. The Elder Scrolls is arguably one of the most successful and recognisable video game franchises of all time, sitting alongside other industry juggernauts such as Grand Theft Auto, Fallout, and Red Dead Redemption. But it wasn’t always this way. Back when…
Sonic Is Getting An Extremely Expensive And Rare Porcelain Statue
Only 50 will be available worldwide. We’ve seen plenty of Sonic the Hedgehog statues over the years, but this one is a little bit different…and a lot more expensive. Read the full article on nintendolife.com
