(Image credit: Dovetail Games) I’ve taken the train from Bath to London hundreds of times in my life, usually to visit game developers in the capital. And while I enjoy that part of the job, the journey itself is a dispiriting chore. Rail travel in the United Kingdom is a chaos of delays, overcrowding and…
H. R. Giger’s biomechanical nightmares have inspired plenty of videogames. If we go way back, his work was repurposed for baffling puzzle adventure Dark Seed, and more recently there was the fleshy horror of Scorn. Tormentum: Dark Sorrow was more in the vein of the former than the latter, a point-and-click adventure that took Giger’s…
This year’s Gen Con event is one Wizards of the Coast has said it’s “pulling out all the stops for”, with a keynote to be hosted by Theo Solomon (who played Wyll in Baldur’s Gate 3) including a bunch of announcements about what’s coming up for Dungeons & Dragons. One release seems to have been…
Larian Studios has reiterated that it is fully, 100%, without a doubt, donezo in the bunzo when it comes to new Baldur’s Gate-related projects. It’s latest statement was in response to a Dark Horse comics announcement that could have been interpreted as implying the studio’s involvement. Maximum hijinks are happening right now, but we’re not…
Villains monologue at us so much in videogames it’s become passe. Oh, you’re so evil you took over the radio station and replaced the friendly voice that’s been guiding me since the tutorial just so you can tell me about your evil plan? Yawn. Use that radio to sing a song at me, maybe then…
They say money can’t buy happiness, so I guess Meccha Chameleon creators lemorion_1224 and Haganeiro will have to get a yacht instead. Much has been said about the ludicrous success of the hide-and-seek game, but a recent figure from Newzoo (shared by GamesIndustry.biz) further puts things into perspective: for June revenue on PC in a…
Fantasy RPGs have become too comfortable with delivering the expected gaggle of familiar character concepts. Archers, monks, paladins, you know the drill. I’ve seen it all before! Give me, I don’t know, a viking that shoots triple-barreled laser guns out of its dual shields, which also have metal claws, you know? Final Fantasy 14 knows…
A new report from Reuters alleges that it took an alarmingly long time for OpenAI to respond to one of its prototype AI agents—programs with the ability to act independently of specific prompts—breaking containment and hacking another company. That company, Hugging Face, had reportedly neutralized the threat and contacted the FBI before ever being contacted…
I liked Doom: The Dark Ages when it arrived last year, but I really ought to have loved it. The first two Dooms of id’s modern trilogy are generationally great FPS campaigns with unmatched action, memorable guns, and late-game fights that will grind your teeth down to the gums. They successfully reestablished Doom around speed,…
First reported by Japanese site GameWatch and translated by Automaton, Silent Hill producer Motoi Okamoto revealed a surprising demand placed on Silent Hill f’s scenario (or story) team: Read a ton of books. Okamoto spoke in a lecture at Japan’s CEDEC 2026—that’s “CESA Developer’s Conference” longwise, or “Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association Developer’s Conference” extra longwise….
