I last played now-beloved MMO Final Fantasy 14 in 2014, when it was only a few months old—not counting those first few aborted years prior to its relaunch as A Realm Reborn. I thought it was okay at the time, but it cemented itself as one of the genre’s all-time greats with its next few…
If you needed any further proof of the terrifying cultural potency of Leon S. Kennedy, here it is: Resident Evil Requiem has sold over 7 million copies in just under two months. The latest in a string of Capcom sales successes, the milestone makes Requiem the fastest-selling Resident Evil game to date. While Capcom hasn’t…
One of the biggest surprises of Steam’s most recent Next Fest was Far Far West, a robot wizard cowboy co-op FPS with some yeehaw-worthy gunslinging and spellcasting that earned it a place among the event’s top five most-played demos. Far Far West is now days away from its early access launch after its demo earned…
Sometimes I think I would be better off if I was one of those people who only likes one action RPG. But, sadly, I’m cursed to enjoy both Path of Exile 2 and Diablo 4, which means I’m forced to juggle both when they drop new stuff in the same month. Diablo 4’s shadow-dropp of…
I have to issue a mea culpa: Almost exactly three years ago, I reported on a performance improvement update for the excellent indie RPG Dread Delusion. The performance was improved, but it was not improved enough. After my initial excitement, I found the game’s inconsistent framerates unbearably brutal, and I exclusively played on desktop. But…
The Fable reboot in development at Playground Games is, understandably, going to usher in some changes to the series that was last seen in 2010. One of the most notable is an overhaul of the game’s morality system. In the Fable of old, doing good would eventually result in a halo hovering over your head,…
I missed this in Crimson Desert patch 1.03.00 earlier this month, but Pearl Abyss added some new camera settings to its open world RPG. I expected a few camera tweaks might be added in a patch at some point, but instead the developer just dumped a whole bunch of sliders into the accessibility settings and…
You say “Astarion backstory” and I’ll show you a very long list of fanfics, but for anyone who’s already exhausted that catalog: today’s a big day. There’s going to be an official prequel novel for your sad, sexy Baldur’s Gate 3 boyfriend this September. Oh and yes, Neil Newbon’s recording the audiobook version, obviously. As…
Facepunch Studios’ new game creation platform s&box will release next week on April 28 on Steam. Built on Valve’s Source Engine 2, s&box is the “spiritual successor to Garry’s Mod,” a physics sandbox and toolkit users can build their own games in. Leading up to the launch, Facepunch Studios stated its community-forward vision, highlighting features…
I suppose it was inevitable: Less than a year after Activision and Paramount confirmed that a Call of Duty movie is in the works, The Hollywood Reporter says a Battlefield movie is on the way too. It’s still very early in the process—the report says the “hot package” is currently being pitched to studios and…
