The documentary aired last month in Japan. Many of you will likely already know that the Resident Evil series has a different name in Japan, being referred to as Biohazard in its country of origin. But what you might not realize is that the name was actually one of many Capcom staff were considering for…
Are goofy crossover skins a net negative for multiplayer shooters? That’s the question I posed to Rainbow Six Siege X creative director Alex Karpazis in an interview following the launch of its Siege X update. He took the pointed question in stride, but I knew before asking that I’d never get the response I was…
Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone can’t help himself. The long and glorious journey of Stardew Valley development was supposed to be capped off with the major 1.6 update, which in Barone’s words this April left the game in “a good place“—so good he wouldn’t be “working on Stardew Valley until I’m done with Haunted Chocolatier.” But then…
Croc and roll. Poor old Croc: Legend of the Gobbos. The Argonaut Games remaster arrived on Switch on 2nd April, the very same day that we were all distracted by the monster Switch 2 reveal Direct, and those who pre-ordered the physical edition way back in Oct 2024 still have no idea when it’s going…
Could Nintendo have made the system a global hit? I recently covered the glorious ’90s relic that was the Barcode Battler on this very site, and it apparently inspired one of our “readers” to do something a little out of the ordinary. Not long after our piece went live, a package arrived at Time Extension…
Ah, MultiVersus. By all accounts, it was a genuinely solid platform fighter with an all-star cast, torn away from us too soon. It was only an “open beta!” What do you mean there were seasons with battle passes? That’s normal for an open beta. To test battle passes you could buy with real money. This…
We got a very quick glimpse at another look at No More Heroes 3 when Suda51 made a quick cameo on yesterday’s Devolver Direct. It was only a couple of seconds but the indie legend cropped up on the end credits, thumbs up, with the game playing on the screen behind him. We haven’t heard…
One of the most annoying aspects of using the modern Internet is having to convince every other website that I am, in fact, a human, typically by clicking on little squares of traffic lights and bicycles. The irritation has been compounded since I learned that tools like CAPTCHA don’t really do much to deter online…
It’s a very familiar story. The latest UK charts paint a very familiar picture. If you’ve been keeping an eye on things recently, you’ll know that the top ten has largely stayed the same, with Nintendo’s first-party output being nudged out by a handful of newer PlayStation and Xbox games. And it’s a similar story…
One more grim notch for the 2023 games industry meat grinder. Australian indie studio League of Geeks is laying off over half its staff and pausing development “indefinitely” on early access starship management game Jumplight Odyssey. In a statement on Twitter, League of Geeks co-founders Ty Carey, Blake Mizzi, and Trent Kusters attributed the blow…
