I have shifted from a position of ‘really? A third-person action D&D game?’ to cautiously optimistic about the upcoming Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons. Partially because of a really solid showing at Gamescom, actually leveraging the prospect of playing a spellcaster with a bunch of interesting interactions and some swanky-looking combat. My optimism continues to grow…
Alas, my series ‘I’d do anything for an Nvidia RTX 5090 at MSRP, but I won’t do that’ has been cancelled after one episode, on account of the fact the card has seemingly disappeared from most major US retailers. What remains are online listings from third-party sellers, often asking for a price even higher above…
I had an extremely good time with the Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter last year. As a big fan of the Trails of Cold Steel PC ports, finally getting the opportunity to try the first installment in the beloved JRPG series, with all the modern accoutrements of a full 3D remake, was truly a…
Let’s face it: JRPG monsters are pure nightmare fuel. Sure, there’s a certain subset who are plain ol’ cute, but for the most part they’re a horrifying mash up of real world animals and mythical monsters, chimeric creatures amalgamating whatever bits and pieces the artist decided to chuck in the blender that day. Not that…
Wondering how to fish in Valheim? When you’re not slaying Odin’s enemies in the Norse underworld, it makes perfect sense to kick back with a relaxing bit of fishing. And if you’ve spent time on a raft or ship, or even just wandered close to a body of water, you’ve probably already seen a few…
Overwatch has over 40 heroes at this point, each with their own legion of fans. Blizzard can’t make everyone happy when it comes to releasing new skins, but its most recent skins have fans convinced it’s playing favorites. Heroes who have already been swimming in skins, like Kiriko and Genji, keep getting more and more…
The gears are still grinding on Skyblivion, the massive mod that aims to recreate The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion in the newer, prettier technology of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Special Edition. A release date still hasn’t been announced, but it’s definitely getting closer—and once again, the dev team is asking for help. What’s notable,…
Bulkhead CEO Joe Brammer is catching heat from industry colleagues for his studio’s stance on crunch. In the latest episode of The Game Business Show (as covered by Game Developer), Brammer and host Christopher Dring chatted about Bulkhead’s journey as an indie studio and Wardogs’ big success before the conversation turned to work culture and…
It’s a sad day for aficionados of undead porn games, but a good one for pretty much everybody else: Valve has rescinded the adults only rating it had applied to the upcoming narrative RPG Nighthawks, meaning it will appear in standard searches on the storefront and won’t be blocked from sale in some regions. “Phew….
Here’s a neat thought: One of the most popular multiplayer games on the planet right now has no matchmaking button. FPS fans are flocking to Wardogs for its fresh ideas around teamwork, economy, and “all-out warfare.” It’s pulling in the largest crowds this sort of round-based, milsim-y FPS (a category that also includes Squad and…
