Alongside its new expansion, Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader got a massive patch buffing its weakest classes and companion
Owlcat is an insanely busy RPG dev: It’s currently developing Mass Effect killer The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, CRPG Warhammer 40K: Dark Heresy, and new add-ons to 2023’s Rogue Trader as it celebrates 10 years of build sicko multiclassing. The latest Rogue Trader add-on, The Infinite Museion, was accompanied by a massive patch to the massive…
Nintendo’s legal battle with Palworld looks shakier than ever: It may only get ‘$30,000 chump change’ if it wins at all
Palworld’s irreverent ‘Pokémon with guns’ conceit won it all sorts of buzz, but also attention from Nintendo’s infamous lawyers—Palworld developer Pocketpair was sued by the big ‘tendo back in 2024 over a few Pokémon patents for around $66,000 in damages—a small payout for such a big company, but with an apparent aim to bleed Pocketpair…
Alright, who’s the joker trying to charge $100 on Steam for an almost entirely AI-generated game?
Thanks to the Steam Release Bot on Bluesky, I am now aware of Kryonull, a game that bums me the hell out. Not only were a majority of its assets AI-generated, but the visual novel is being sold on Steam for a ludicrous $100 US, or £90 in the UK. Kryonull is a particular bummer…
‘Make some noise’: Vanillaware reportedly wants more of its games on PC, but it’s up to the publishers
I try not to think too hard about console exclusives. What I don’t know can’t hurt me, and all the cool games hidden away on whatever the hell a “PlayStation” is can’t tempt me into buying one if I don’t know they exist. Vanillaware games, though, have historically been too cool to ignore. It was…
“We Have The Means To Fight This Case To The End” – Gaming’s Most Infamous Trademark Troll Is Back
“We intend to expose Tim Langdell for what he is”. Langdell once managed to scare Future Publishing back in the day over the use of the word ‘Edge’ for its multiformat magazine Tim Langdell – the notable copyright troll who was once a thorn in the sides of Namco, Future Publishing and Electronic Arts over…
A little known rendering technique that can create low-cost, photo-real graphics may be about to have its big moment in game development
A photo-real art style rarely sells me on a game. That said, over the last few months, a tech delivering low-cost, photorealistic graphics has become something of a singular obsession of mine: Gaussian splatting. Previously, I lost myself in this very basic FPS laying its scene inside a Gaussian splat of a real-world abandoned space….
New Crimson Desert patch lets you hoard 100 pets and gives you more chainsaw access
I have two guinea pigs. Sometimes I think about what it would be like to have a third pig, or even a cat or a dog on top of that, and I start to feel dizzy. Crimson Desert players must scoff at my weakness. As of the latest patch, they can register up to 100…
Sim racing is flourishing, but what happened to the arcade racer?
I became a racing game aficionado at age five playing Lego Racers on my great grandfather’s Windows 95 Gateway PC. And I’ve been a car enthusiast since my days careening the Subaru Impreza Rally Car ’99 into walls on the dirt stages of Gran Turismo 2. But sim racing never quite did it for me,…
I wish Bungie would stop designing excellent multiplayer shooters and go back to making fantasy strategy games where you blow up zombies with dwarf bombs
