At PlayStation Experience in December we introduced the world to a new title we have been working on at San Diego Studio — Kill Strain. For those of you that don’t know, Kill Strain is a top-down shooter with a momentum twist, bringing intense 5v2v5 combat to PS4. With always evolving combat, two teams of…
Today’s finally the day, Fallout season 2 episode one is upon us, and it by no means eases us into the action. Following Lucy and The Ghouls’ journey to find her father and his family, the duo stumbles across tons of iconic Wasteland locations like New Vegas, a fan favourite Fallout 4 spot, Dinky the…
2023 has been a year to forget for PC manufacturers. After the work-from-home boom and seemingly endless global political and economic instability, a slowdown was always likely to happen. But if a new analysis from Canalys is to be believed, 2024 is shaping up to be a much better year for the PC market. Canalys…
If there was an award for grossest sounds per minute, I’m positive that the Roadside Research demo would take it. It’s like any other shop/restaurant/venue simulator on the surface: buy goods, sell goods, make customers happy, make a profit. Except every step I take causes an unsettling squelching noise to ricochet through my ears, and…
The Commodore 64 had an exceptionally long life. Introduced in 1982 and not officially discontinued until 1994, the intervening 12 years saw the release of upwards of 10,000 entertainment titles. While European C64 users saw releases right up to the very end, the North American market cooled off a bit sooner, with new releases tapering…
Return to Player, commonly known as RTP, is one of the most discussed – and most misunderstood – concepts in casino gaming. Players often hear that certain slots “pay better” than others, yet few fully understand what RTP actually represents or how it affects real gameplay over time. As online casinos expand their libraries and…
Ubisoft has confirmed that it has joined other major companies who have paused advertising on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, following a Media Matters report which claims that the platform has been running ads for companies including Apple, IBM, NBCUniversal, and Comcast owner Xfinity next to pro-Nazi content. X denies that…
“No AI was used for the coding of this game”. The 3DO hardware has something of a complicated legacy. Developed and conceived by The 3DO Company’s CEO, Trip Hawkins, who had risen to fame as the Electronic Arts’ original founder, it took a slightly different approach from the other consoles available at the time. Rather…
The full reveal of the Alan Wake 2 system requirements last week left a lot of fans unhappy. They’re steep: The minimum spec for 1080p, 30 fps gameplay at the low graphics preset is an Intel i5-7600K CPU, RTX 2060 GPU, and 16GB RAM, and a sharp ramp up from there into recommended, ultra, and…
I’ve always said that my favourite chapter in Half-Life is Office Complex. In a game all about recontextualising the FPS from abstract mazes into a realistic, coherent setting, to me Office Complex felt like the ultimate expression of that. It’s the most mundane part of Black Mesa’s clandestine research facility, swapping the hellscapes of Doom…
