Last year, in an interview with Gamespot, Gearbox boss and professional amateur magician Randy Pitchford compared the upcoming Borderlands 4 to its predecessor. “With Borderlands 3, with the idea of going to different planets, it was more compartmentalized,” he said. “It felt a little less open and free. Borderlands 4 is the most open and…
Roll7, the studio behind the sidescrolling skateboard series OlliOlli, was closed down after Take-Two Interactive’s Private Division label was sold last year—announced after a lot of hemming and hawing from Take-Two’s CEO. Presumably as a consequence of that, two games Roll7 made under Private Division, OlliOlli World and Rollerdrome, have both been delisted on Steam….
Just this week Warner Brothers announced that it would shut down Multiversus, its platform fighting game featuring characters from a wildly diverse array of movies, shows, and games owned by the media giant. The fifth season of Multiversus will be its last. The game will still be available to play offline, but the servers for…
The big month is here. For whatever reason, the games biz decided that February is a great time for gorging on new games, and absolutely stuffed it with big releases. It’d be even more packed had Assassin’s Creed Shadows not been delayed to March, but even then it’ll be an unusually consequential month for PC…
Whistleblower Edward Snowden, who in 2013 leaked classified documents to the press revealing the existence of an extensive US digital surveillance regime, has come out as a surprisingly scathing critic of Nvidia’s new RTX 50-series of graphics cards. “Endless next-quarter thinking has reduced the Nvidia brand to ‘F-tier value for S-tier prices,’” Snowden wrote on…
First reported by Eurogamer, FromSoftware dataminer and modder Lance McDonald has revealed on Bluesky that his 60fps hack for Bloodborne has been DMCA’d by Sony. It remains possible to remove Bloodborne’s original 30fps cap via the ShadPS4 emulator on PC, but the decision remains a heavy-handed attempt at intimidating the modding and emulation community. “On…
I’ve always been obsessed with rolling and re-rolling RPG characters, and Baldur’s Gate 3 has been a beautiful catastrophe for me, letting me channel that energy into too many Tactician and Honour runs, as well as our guide to the best builds in the game. With Patch 8’s 12 new subclasses on the way, I’ve…
The last thing I need in my life is another factory game, if only because allowing any factory game into your life risks it being consumed entirely by its sprawling, hopelessly absorbing logistics puzzle. But then Cordyceps Collective went and mashed up Factorio with last year’s colony simulation Empire of the Ants, and now I…
I was wooed consistently through the latest trailer for RoadCraft, Saber Interactive’s follow-up to Expeditions: Mudrunner about rebuilding infrastructure across global disaster zones, but it was the phrase “mobile quarry” that convinced me Roadcraft is the one. Quarries, as you may know, are generally static affairs, given they are literally the ground. But RoadCraft’s portable…
Helskate is the kind of wild genre-fusion design I love in videogames. Tony Hawk Pro Skater’s arcade score-chasing, combined with the roguelite progression and drip-feed of supernatural drama that Hades redefined the genre with, topped off with a dash of Risk of Rain’s escalating combat challenge and frantic character-building. It sounds too good to be…
