In 2005 I lived and breathed fansites, many of which I can still name off the top of my head: Eyes on Final Fantasy, Zelda Universe, Animal Crossing Ahead, DK’s Jungle Vine—outside of gaming magazines, these sorts of websites dominated my bookmarks folder so that I could hunt down any scrap of news from the…
The folks at Japanese vtuber agency Otagroup are onto something. Its vtuber group of women aged 75-and-up aren’t just 3D anime girl streamers anymore: they’re vtuber grandmas for rent. Otagroup gained some traction in the vtuber space when its 86-year-old vtuber Hiroko went viral on X and YouTube. And now it’s going to offer an…
In response to a viewer question for a 200k subscriber Q&A on his YouTube channel, former BioWare producer Mark Darrah got into the fine details of what it might actually have looked like for BioWare to release Joplin, its initial pitch for a fourth Dragon Age, and whether he thinks it would have been better…

The whole thing arose from some…
Extraction is the hot new mode for multiplayer shooters, even though it’s been around since 2016 and therefore can hardly be considered “new”. Every game from Delta Force to Marathon is trying to muscle in on stuffing your backpack with guns and skipping your way out of a map, with varying degrees of success. Anyway,…
By the time Sony started printing money releasing its exclusives onto PC, the company had made a name for itself delivering the biggest and best singleplayer games on the market. Its run of solo PS4 exclusives from Bloodborne to The Last of Us Part 2 was so strong that it blew Microsoft’s console strategy out…
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has been summoned to appear before a French court, following a trial in which three former executives were found guilty of workplace harassment in June. In that trial, Serge Hascoët, Tommy François, and Guillaume Patrux were all given fines and suspended sentences ranging between twelve months and three years, after being…
Konami gave us an extended look at how Silent Hill f plays earlier this month, and the horror prequel places a much heavier emphasis on combat than I expected. With mechanics like a stamina bar, timed dodges and a powerful counterattack ability, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Silent Hill f looks rather like a…
