Final Fantasy 14‘s next expansion, Evercold, was announced during the fanfest over the weekend—and as someone who has had a laundry list of gripes, I couldn’t be more excited. Square Enix has finally taken note of the fact the game’s formula has grown stagnant, and promised all sorts of overhauls and reimaginings of what the…
I recently watched The Magic Faraway Tree, in which Andrew Garfield plays a dad with dreams about making homegrown tomato sauce in the country. I was particularly charmed by a scene in which Garfield generates enough electricity for his tween daughter to enjoy a shonky video call via pedalling a busted-up bike alone. Well, one…
Directive 8020 is Supermassive Games’ next cinematic horror game set in the cold void of space aboard the Cassiopeia, a ship full of scientists voyaging towards humanity’s next home. But like most Supermassive Games’ it’s more than just your typical horror experience, as it treads the line between games and cinema. One such way Directive…
Supermassive Games is yet again asking the age-old question: would its fans survive a horror movie? Specifically, would they successfully weather John Carpenter’s The Thing? You see, Directive 8020 is set on a spaceship with a crew of scientists and one billionaire venturing forth to inspect the next intergalactic colony. But nothing in life is…
It’s not often a new gaming mouse makes me screw my face up at the sheer thought of using it, but well, here we are. The Turtle Beach Command Series MC7 is an 8K wireless squeaker with a 30K sensor and several features I quite like the look of—but it’s also got a 2.25-inch touchscreen…
Embark has announced in a dedicated blog post that it’s finally addressing Arc Raiders‘ largely maligned (or ignored) Trials system. Trials are a rotating set of weekly challenges which task you with nabbing high scores to rank up, all in the pursuit of a unique outfit. But with bland objectives and strict schedules, it’s long…
My fate was sealed as soon as my folks gifted me a Game Boy Color and a copy of Pokémon Red. My younger self also used to daydream about carrying such cool tech right there on her wrist, just like her favourite cartoon characters. However, my older and wiser adult self is downright cynical about…
Working out how to eavesdrop in Crimson Desert during the Bared Fang quest actually used to be even worse than it is now. Like many elements of the game, it was patched post-launch, but even then, it’s not the clearest mechanic. You’ll also have to give a bunch of answers to a guard in yet…
Former president of Blizzard Mike Ybarra has entered the phase of being a videogame executive that involves, among a lot of things, some very unfiltered posting on social media. Like arguing with other CEOs over New Years, or telling people they need to “man up” over AI use. Anyway, World of Warcraft: Midnight had a…
The cancellation of The Last of Us Online is one of the greatest tragedies of our time. At least in the imaginations of many TLOU fans—it was cancelled after all, so we never actually got to see whether it lived up to the hype. Nevertheless, former game director Vinit Agarwal has called his cancelled baby…
