Scooby who? Late last month, Warner Bros. announced that it was shutting down three studios including Player First, the team behind the soon-to-be-defunct Smash Bros-style brawler MultiVersus. Before things went south, however, it seems that the publisher was looking to another Nintendo franchise for inspiration, this time with WB San Diego behind the wheel (thanks,…
“You know that Prince Of Persia / Wolfenstein mashup you’ve been craving?”. Adam Saltsman, the co-founder of indie publisher Finji and the developer of the one-button endless runner Canabalt has just released a new PICO-8 game, and it will no doubt look a little familiar to you if you’re a fan of Jordan Mechner’s Prince…
Not quite micro-priced, but not bad. Storage. It isn’t sexy and it isn’t cheap, but it’s essential if you want to keep your digital games with you. If you’re anything like us, our bulging Switch libraries demand much more than our original 256GB card can offer after eight long years of those eShop sales! Amazon…
Your standard RPG romantic interludes probably wouldn’t make much sense in Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2. You’re not some adventurer, hero, or even an anti-hero. You are Phyre, an old monster who spends their unlife drinking blood, killing without mercy and plotting until the sun comes up. But that doesn’t mean romance is completely…
Going through phaazes. There’s just over one more week to go until Nintendo lifts the lid on the Nintendo Switch 2 with its upcoming Direct presentation on 2nd April, but we’ve got room for another rumour or two right? The latest comes from Insider Gaming, who claims via multiple conversations during GDC in San Francisco…
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 won’t be appearing in the first half of 2025. After so many delays, I have a feeling prospective bloodsuckers will already be pretty used to this. At least its new release window is more appropriate than the summer; it’s now due out in October, the spookiest month of the…
AMD’s next-gen APU has apparently leaked. But don’t get too excited because “Gorgon Point”, as it’s known, looks very much like a refresh of AMD’s current Strix Point chip rather than a radical advance or really even a new chip at all. AMD was reportedly making a presentation to its commercial partners, likely including laptop…
Pentiment is a very, very good videogame, and one of the most interesting things Obsidian’s put out this decade (though I liked Avowed quite a lot). Now, we’re sufficiently far enough past its release that people like director Josh Sawyer—a name you’ll recognise from Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity, and an all-timer Dolly Parton…
Discord is getting a major update today that includes a “completely new version” of the chat app’s in-game overlay, as well as new themes and options for the desktop client. The overlay overhaul is the biggest news. Because it no longer attempts to hook directly into games—which can trigger anticheat software and sometimes just doesn’t…
As a former teenage goth and Anne Rice fanatic (dog collar, black nail polish, absurd prosthetic vampire fangs) who still pines for the days when Troika was designing RPGs, my excitement levels following the initial Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 announcement were off the chart. But that was six years ago, and since then…
