Landfall has been making games for over 10 years now. Recent ventures include the co-op climbing sim Peak and the multiplayer horror game Content Warning, both of which I absolutely loved. But now Landfall is preparing for its next step: publishing games. “We made a publisher to only publish our own games,” Landfall announced on…
In your long history as a gamer, I’m sure you’ve played a game with a big head mode. But what about a small head mode? Or a 5v5 shooter where an ankle-height, knock-off Growlithe (that’s a Pokémon) follows you around and spits fire at enemies? Or a competitive FPS where you can crouch to lay…
For a game called Dungeons & Dragons, it sure seems like homebrew games (and even a lot of pre-written campaigns) skimp on both—which is something I’m guilty of myself. Give me a rulebook for anything, and I’ll find a way to plonk it in a city and have players doing political intrigue in a sea…
Today we’re excited to announce that we’re ready to bring Rangi to PS VR. On March 6, 2018, PlayStation VR owners will be able to explore the African mystical universe of Rangi and solve its cryptic puzzles. Inspired by African tribal art, ancient architecture, and colourful landscapes, Rangi lets you dive into a deep VR…
I’m an explorer at heart. Give me a big open world map and yes, I’ll harvest resources and craft gear and build a base—but what I really want to do is get out and see the world. I’m about 10 hours into survival MMO Dune: Awakening, I’ve got a snug little base, a couple flasks…
I can think of nothing I would hate more than for someone to go rummaging through my PC once I’ve popped my clogs. Not that there’s anything particularly incriminating lurking within years of accumulated files, but there’s something that feels weirdly private about this hulking setup that takes up half of my tiny apartment, you…
Mark August 4 in your calendar as this challenging retro side-scrolling shoot ’em up releases for PlayStation 4. Its unique color-based shooting mechanic is built around the four colored buttons of your DualShock controller. Every button shoots one respectively colored rocket that is designed to hit the same-colored enemies and obstacles. This color-based targeting system…
Two pads are better than one. Like many retro games, Zelda II has its fair share of bugs and glitches – one of which involves pressing left and right at the same time to dash through levels, including locked doors. This ‘acceleration’ glitch is detailed in this excellent video, but is practically impossible to do…
Coming late November/early December. If you’ve ever wanted to hook up a NES controller to your PC Engine, then you’re in luck. Todd Gill (the owner/designer at Retro Frog) has just announced a new ultra-low latency adapter for the NES controller that works with the PC Engine, CoreGrafx, SuperGrafx, and Duo Consoles. It will cost…
The Analogue 3D in action. Analogue’s FPGA-based N64 – the Analogue 3D – is one of the year’s most highly anticipated retro hardware releases, but it has been subject to more than one delay, which is making the wait even harder. While the system isn’t expected to launch until Q4 of this year, the company…
