The Deus Ex remaster has met a chilly response from PC gamers thanks to the baffling liberties it’s taking with the landmark RPG’s art style. If that weren’t enough, its $30 price tag ($26 for preorders) only looks more ridiculous when you consider that the entire mainline series—Deus Ex, Invisible War, Human Revolution, and Mankind…
Splash Damage, the studio known for its work on Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, Brink, Gears Tactics, and the cancelled Transformers: Reactivate, has parted ways with Tencent, and is now owned by private equity investors. The studio confirmed the change in a statement provided to GamesIndustry, saying it will continue to operate under its current leadership team…
To paraphrase French-Algerian thinker Albert Camus: One must imagine the coin flipper happy. In Unfair Flips, released on Steam today by developer Heather Flowers, you have a coin and a button. The button flips the coin. To win, you have to flip ten heads in a row. Initially, you only have a 20% chance of…
A new Borderlands 4 patch has gone live with an array of fixes, gameplay tweaks, and the big one, promises of improved performance and stability—sorely needed for a game that, despite its popularity, holds a “mixed” rating on Steam, largely because of sub-par performance. (For the record, our reviewer liked it quite a bit.) The…
I’m not quite ready to say Konami is back, yet, but right now the venerable Japanese developer is in a better place than it’s been for years. This week saw Silent Hill f scoop a whopping 90 in the PCG review, and that follows hot on the heels of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater,…
Battlefield 6‘s Portal mode, which allows players to run their own servers with custom rules and edited maps, will eventually allow us to construct our own little Battlefield worlds from a ‘blank slate’ map template—but not right at launch. Portal was the best feature in Battlefield 2042, allowing players to set up pseudo-dedicated servers with…
Microsoft president Brad Smith says the company has “ceased and disabled” access to some of the services being used by the Israeli military following a review of allegations made by a Guardian investigative report in August. “We have reviewed The Guardian’s allegations based on two principles, both grounded in Microsoft’s longstanding protection of privacy as…
The indie RPG Dread Delusion is one of my favorite recent games, and I’d chalk that up to ambition. I’m not just talking about doing an Elder Scrolls-style open world with a small team, but how it grapples with capital-B capital-I Big Ideas. It’s a setting where an “apostastic” inquisition persecutes belief and worship, a…
Borderlands 4 is full of references, and there’s perhaps none more iconic than the Wombo Combo. This legendary assault rifle calls back to the infamous Super Smash Bros. Melee match in which the commentators lose their minds when a player pulls off a move of the same name. Living up to its history, the Wombo…
Our Jacob really dug Corsair’s MAKR 75 DIY keyboard, but wasn’t entirely sold on either its price or lack of Hall effect switch compatibility. Well, the company’s just announced another swish line of wired gaming keyboards featuring not only Hall effect switches, but also a tiny screen. Because why not, I guess? The Vanguard 96…
