I’ve covered CES for years and each one feels different to the last. Some are great for PC gamers; others aren’t. This year, prototypes, concepts and artificial intelligence dominated the show, which is not surprising, nor different to last year. Though I have seen a bit of a trend in how people are reacting to…
Amnesia: The Dark Descent scarred me for life. Horror games have come a long way in the 16 years since its debut, and Dark Descent might seem quaint or unsophisticated now, but when it was new it was awful. It was such a traumatizing experience that by the time I was into the final stretch…
The team here at Psyonix has been overwhelmed by the positive worldwide reaction to our upcoming action-sports game Rocket League. Which is why we want to give you all not one, but FOUR major pieces of information in a single announcement! The first two are right there in the headline: Rocket League will be available…
What a resolution. A newly updated patent published on 13th March 2025 provides further details to Nintendo’s proposed AI resolution upscaling solution for the upcoming Switch 2 (thanks, Game Rant). Though the idea of AI upscaling for the new console is not a new one – with a previous patent explicitly mentioning Nvidia’s DLSS technology…
The CEO of MindsEye developer Build a Rocket Boy says the studio now has “overwhelming evidence of organized espionage and corporate sabotage” that torpedoed the game’s launch, and is pursuing legal action as a result. Unfortunately, the enduring impact of those underhanded actions means the studio is being forced to impose another round of layoffs….
Surf and turf. Dave The Diver has quickly become one of the most bankable titles for an appearance at each and every game showcase since it arrived on PC and console last year, and The Game Awards was no exception. Developer MINTROCKET popped up at this year’s Geoff-fest to reveal the upcoming ‘In the Jungle‘…
According to an investor analysis report from Zeus Capital, Planet Coaster 2 hasn’t lived up to expectations when it comes to revenue and reception from the playerbase, and it doesn’t look like anyone’s too surprised. Despite selling over 400,000 units within two months of release and earning over £10 million, “cash flows are still negative,”…
Futuristic racer has been in development for a while. Nintendo’s F-Zero launched alongside the Super Famicom / SNES and gave players a taste of what the system was capable of thanks to its smoothly-rotating Mode 7 tracks. While the Amiga can’t replicate this graphic mode, it’s getting an F-Zero-style racer which at least aims to…
Port Royale 4, the latest entry in our trading simulation series, is coming to PS4 on September 25. We’re putting in a huge amount of work to make the Caribbean setting as beautiful as possible, so we thought we’d give you a behind-the-scenes look at how the key art has progressed from initial concepts to…
I truly can’t believe they’re doing it. ArenaNet is making Guild Wars 3. Unlike every other live-service game and MMO around right now, determined to shamble on as a “platform” into eternity, Guild Wars 2 is making room for a third game the way Guild Wars did before it. Even so, ArenaNet affirmed its dedication…
