В ZA/UM отреагировали на утечку материалов по отменённому спин-оффу Disco Elysium В ZA/UM отреагировали на утечку материалов по отменённому спин-оффу Disco Elysium

Не так давно в Сети оказалось видео с внутренней презентацией отменённого ответвления Disco Elysium под названием Locust City — An Elysium Story.

Как указано в послании, после выхода Disco Elysium в 2019 году разработчики рассматривали множество концептов.

Слитую презентацию Locust City в студии назвали нарушением соглашения о неразглашении (NDA).

Напомним, в центре Locust City — An Elysium Story находились знакомые по «Диско» Куно и Куна.

В настоящее время ZA/UM трудится над C4 — большой RPG, которая не связана с Disco Elysium.

Стриминговый сервис Netflix опубликовал ещё один отрывок из свежего анима аниме-сериала по культовой франшизе слэшеров Devil May Cry от южнокорейской студии Mir.

В прошлый раз Данте сражался с демоном, а сейчас он в одиночку разнёс целую группу наёмников.

Почему эти люди охотились на Данте — выясниться уже в самом сериале.

Зрители подметили схожесть этой сцены с началом Devil May Cry 3, где Данте в такой же непринуждённой манере истребил вторгнувшихся в его офис демонов.

Премьера Devil May Cry состоится уже сегодня, 3 апреля на Netflix.

В недавнем интервью креативный директор игры Джонатан Дюмон (Jonathan Dumont) поделился, что флэшбек-сцены, раскрывающие прошлое персонажей, были вдохновлены аниме.

По его словам, аниме-тайтлы «мастерски умеют раскрывать предыстории персонажей через флэшбеки, заполняя пробелы в их мотивации».

Уже в первый день в проект погрузилось миллион пользователей, через двое суток их число удвоилось, а спустя семь дней достигло отметки в 3 миллиона.

В частности, представленная сегодня Mario Kart World оценивается в €80 за цифровое издание и €90 за физическое.

К примеру, за Donkey Kong Bananza просят уже привычные €70 в цифре, а вот за картридж придётся раскошелиться на €80.

Тут же важно уточнить, что не все картриджи будут такими, и Nintendo всё ещё намерена выпускать полноценные физические копии.

Тем не менее эта новость также не обрадовала будущих обладателей консоли, особенно учитывая цены до 90 долларов / евро за некоторые картриджи.

Компания тут же поспешила уточнить, что не все игры потребуют доплаты за апгрейд.

Мод Baldur’s Village для Stardew Valley, объединяющий персонажей и окружение культовой RPG Baldur’s Gate III с очаровательным фермерским симулятором, вернулся после DMCA-жалобы от Wizards of the Coast.

Так, создатель модификации поблагодарил всех и пообещал в ближайшее время выпустить ещё больше контента.

Проект, созданный XunHe1145, позволяет в Stardew Valley встретить персонажей из Baldur’s Gate III прямо среди полей и ферм города Пеликан.

В тот самый день, когда мы получили уведомление о блокировке, мы как раз завершили событие «Десяти сердец» Астариона, которое планировалось для следующего обновления.

Профсоюз ZeniMax Workers United-CWA, представляющий сотни сотрудников компании ZeniMax Media, дочерней структуры Microsoft, подавляющим большинством голосов одобрил возможность забастовки.

Однако, когда мы поднимаем этот вопрос за столом переговоров, Microsoft ведёт себя так, будто мы требуем слишком многого.

Nightdive Studios, студия, прославившаяся своим умением вдыхать новую жизнь в классические видеоигры, объявила о желании и возможностях заняться ремастерингом игр с консолей Xbox 360 и PlayStation 3.

Был ли это эксклюзив Xbox 360, или тайтл выходил и на ПК?

<…> Помню, когда система только вышла, много говорили о том, как сложно разработчикам было её «понять», и это серьёзная проблема для обратной совместимости.

Она даже была, однако спустя некоторое время компания отказалась от дальнейшего развития этой идеи — слишком дорого это было на тот момент.

«И опять же, не было элегантного решения, при котором на аппаратном обеспечении PS3 можно было бы запускать игры PS2.

Devolver Digital и разработчики из Dodge Roll анонсировали Enter the Gungeon 2 — продолжение культовой игры в жанре пулевого ада в подземелье, но теперь с 3D-графикой, новыми врагами, оружием и расширенных геймплеем.

Игрокам предлагается с боем пробиться через знакомые и новые области разрушенного Оружелья.

Среди смельчаков, готовых ворваться в руины, сразу несколько Оружельцев — как и в случае с подземельем, здесь ждут как новые персонажи, так и старые.

Начать своё приключение в Enter the Gungeon 2 получится на ПК (Steam) и Nintendo Switch 2 в 2026 году.

Анонс случился во время шоу Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, где разработчики показали несколько скоротечных, но таких сладких секунд геймплея Silksong.

Главная героиня Хорнет скачет по платформам и размахивает иглой — всё так, как и ожидают изголодавшиеся по новостям о Silksong фанаты.

Если, конечно, Team Cherry уже по привычке не перенесёт релиз.

Также игра готовится для PlayStation, Xbox и ПК, хотя в магазине Valve срок выхода метроидвании еще не обновили.

Жёлтую краску добавили в Assassin’s Creed Shadows только после отзывов тестировщиков Жёлтую краску добавили в Assassin’s Creed Shadows только после отзывов тестировщиков

В Сети регулярно ведутся споры о том, нужно ли разработчикам расплёскивать жёлтую (или белую в некоторых случаях) краску по играм.

Направляющие мазки есть и в Assassin’s Creed Shadows, но у Ubisoft была веская причина на это.

Как рассказал творческий руководитель Джонатан Дюмон (Jonathan Dumont), изначально команда не собиралась отправлять в «Тени» виртуального маляра.

Окружение в Shadows получилось богатым и детализированным, поэтому нам пришлось оставить несколько подсказок.

Что в Assassin’s Creed Shadows уже есть, так это шутка в адрес жёлтой краски.

Shenmue beats Doom as the most influential game of all time in BAFTA poll
Shenmue beats Doom as the most influential game of all time in BAFTA poll Shenmue beats Doom as the most influential game of all time in BAFTA poll

The most influential game of all time is Yu Suzuki's 1999 proto open world Gashapon 'em up Shenmue, according to a public poll held by BAFTA.

I'm not sure KCD 2 has been out long enough to influence anything outside its own DLC.

As for Shenmue, I can see it, even if I'm not sure it would have been my pick.

"I am deeply honoured and grateful that Shenmue has been selected as the Most Influential Video Game of All Time," said Yu Suzuki.

Never has a game influenced so many to say, sure, I'll have a 7UP if literally nothing else is available.

When Helldivers 2 was at its lowest, Arrowhead looked to Hello Games and No Man's Sky to keep their chin up When Helldivers 2 was at its lowest, Arrowhead looked to Hello Games and No Man's Sky to keep their chin up

I'm not sure I've seen people swing back and forth on a game so rapidly like they have with Helldivers 2.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Jorjani said he was "inspired" by Hello Games and No Man's Sky, perhaps one of the most infamous games of the past decade when it comes to changing the rhetoric surrounding it.

"The game was hyped, then bombed, and then they put the head to the grindstone and just updated the game," Jorjani noted.

Of course, Hello Games had a lot more work to do to right that spaceship, it took years to get it to where it's at now.

In any case, fingers crossed for Arrowhead that Helldivers 2's second year goes a bit smoother.

Oh dear, those Sims Project Rene leaks are looking a bit rough around the edges, aren't they? Oh dear, those Sims Project Rene leaks are looking a bit rough around the edges, aren't they?

Back in 2022, when Project Rene was first announced, everyone quite fairly assumed that it would go on to become The Sims 5, given that The Sims 4 was quite old by that point.

Then, last year, EA actually said no, they're not making a Sims 5, they're just going to keep making things for The Sims 4, and Project Rene will be more of a multiplayer game.

Now, to be clear, the game hasn't technically been labelled as a Sims game.

Again, it's clearly early days for Project Rene, I mean, City Life Game with Friends, I just can't help but wonder if this is a future SimCity 2013 level disaster waiting to happen.

I find city builders to be quite a stressful genre, mostly because I get freaked out as soon as my virtual bank account starts dipping into the red.

Every now and then, though, one comes along that looks like it might actually be a calming time, and Synergy looks like it could fill that gap.

First up is that there'll be a new campaign with three new scenarios to explore, though what those are, you'll have to wait and find out.

There's also new plants and buildings to work with, as well as some new challenges linked to dry seasons, alongside an exploration rework.

Nothing too stressful to be found here, just the way I like my sim games.

Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 get a June release date, just don't forget you'll have to pay for these ones Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 get a June release date, just don't forget you'll have to pay for these ones

Like, for example, the fact that Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 now have a release date, June 5th (which also happens to be when the Switch 2 comes out but that's neither here nor there).

Mind, this is almost a good seven years after the first chapter dropped, and almost four since Chapter 2 was released, so it's been a long time coming.

Not much to go off of all in, but when has Toby Fox and co ever given away the goose that easily?

As a reminder, Chapters 3 and 4 will be paid unlike the first two, and they won't be the end of Deltarune either.

There's plans for a total of seven, so we'll have to wait and see about those last three.

Elden Ring is getting a Tarnished Edition on Switch 2, but you are an enlightened individual who cares not for Switchery - why else would you be reading RPS, a website dedicated to PCs, the very best console of all?

Are you some kind of Nintendo fan-enthusiast-zealot, here to gloat about the fact that the Tarnished Edition is a Switch 2 exclusive?

I mean, the Tarnished Edition's new stuff is almost guaranteed to turf up on PC at some stage.

Catch the trailer for the Tarnished Edition below.

Enter the Dungeon 2 gets a reveal almost a decade on from the first one, looks like more of the same, but in 3D Enter the Dungeon 2 gets a reveal almost a decade on from the first one, looks like more of the same, but in 3D

Enter the Gungeon feels like one of those quintessential indie games right?

It came out almost a decade ago way back in 2016, which felt like the peak "indie games are here and they can go toe to toe with the big boys" era.

But it really does show you how much the industry has changed in a decade when an iconic indie like Enter the Gungeon makes a switch like this.

The trailer didn't reveal all that much honestly, it really does look like the game but in 3D, and it is still a bullet hell, action, roguelike game.

Anyway, congrats Enter the Gungeon fans, you're doing better than the Bloodborne for PC crowd.

Hollow Knight: Silksong will release in 2025, according to a showcase reel for Nintendo’s upcoming Steam Decklike, the Switch 2.

Imagine dropping release details for a game as hotly, wildly, despairingly anticipated as Silksong in an effing montage video.

There were a few more concrete indications that Silksong would grace the Switch 2’s software reveal.

It stars the balletic stilleto-wielding Hornet - a boss from the original Hollow Knight - and takes place in the new kingdom of Pharloom.

Other characters confirmed to appear include the Huntress, "a towering old predator", Grindle, a "common snitchbug", and Seth, an "eternal protector" created in collaboration with a Hollow Knight fan who …

Disco Elysium's spin-off Locust City was the story of two grotty children and a boxful of insects Disco Elysium's spin-off Locust City was the story of two grotty children and a boxful of insects

It is time once again to shake our fists at the sky over the untimely, messy splintering of Disco Elysium as a cultural phenomenon.

Cancelled in February and hitherto known as Project X7, Locust City was to star Cuno and Cunoesse, a pair of foul-mouthed kids from the streets of Revachol.

As such, I'm intrigued to see how his and Cunoesse's story might have proceeded in Locust City, and sad that I will almost certainly never get to play the game.

Locust City was seemingly called Locust City because one of Cuno's treasured in-game possessions was to be a locust city in a cardboard box.

Each character was to receive their own Thought Cabinet, with familiar unlocks such as Mazovian Socio-Econom…

Assassin's Creed Shadows is special to me, in the sense I don't usually sit through whole games I'm not especially enjoying just for more opportunities to watch storms and gales, orange leaves whipped up by horse footfall, and flashes of illumination from distant lightning.

When I remember the game, I will remember galloping on horseback toward destinations that part of me wishes didn't exist, so I could keep on galloping forever.

These moments of beautiful, sombre realism made the whole game worth it for me, but they come at a cost I didn't realise until I decided to make the most of my Ubisoft+ Month and play Assassin's Creed Syndicate.

But it's so unique and weird and identifiably Assass…

Amazon has an Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti back in stock for $899.99 today Amazon has an Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti back in stock for $899.99 today

The RTX 5070 Ti is now readily available, and the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Eagle OC SFF 16G is back in stock at Amazon, at probably the best price you're going to get right now.

The 5070 Ti runs on NVIDIA's new Blackwell architecture and supports DLSS 4, so it's overqualified for just about anything you throw at it.

The WINDFORCE cooling system keeps things cool without sounding like a jet engine, which is appreciated when your rig isn’t doubling as a white noise machine.

This one’s SFF ready, which is rare for a card with this kind of muscle.

Granted it's not really worth upgrading from RTX 4070 Ti but the demand is high, the stock is low, and you know how that usually ends.

Union workers at Fallout and Elder Scrolls company ready to strike against Microsoft after two years of haggling
Union workers at Fallout and Elder Scrolls company ready to strike against Microsoft after two years of haggling Union workers at Fallout and Elder Scrolls company ready to strike against Microsoft after two years of haggling

A video game union representing around 300 workers at Elder Scrolls, Doom and Fallout publisher ZeniMax Media have overwhelmingly voted for strike action if they’re unable to thrash out a deal over wages and workplace conditions with Microsoft, ZeniMax’s parent company.

QA workers founded ZeniMax Workers United in December 2023, as part of the umbrella organisation of the Communication Workers Of America (CWA) union.

Microsoft acknowledged the union at the time, but as Brendy pointed out in a previous write-up, this likely isn’t an indication of union sympathies among the leadership.

241 Bethesda Game Studios workers started a CWA-affiliated union of their own last summer.

All new Helldivers 2 enemies should be revealed in-game
All new Helldivers 2 enemies should be revealed in-game All new Helldivers 2 enemies should be revealed in-game

Arrowhead just added new enemies, like the Impaler!

In past patches, seeing new threats emerge organically on the battlefield was a thrill.

Helldivers 2 is also in a somewhat unique situation; since propaganda from our in-game superiors is such a core part of the setting, it makes sense to have the game actively gaslight players about new enemies and updates.

As Helldivers 2 continues, I hope Arrowhead doesn’t shift to sharing upcoming surprises in blog posts and promotional materials.

I want to be absolutely shocked as these new enemies show up and turn my poor Helldiver into chunky salsa; it keeps things fresh.

The developers of Stalker 2, GSC Game World, released a massive 35-minute video to YouTube on Monday teasing the upcoming sequel of their beloved open-world shooter franchise.

In it, the Ukrainian team described how they leaned heavily into the authenticity of the experience.

That authenticity applies to the game’s real-world setting around the Chornobyl nuclear power plant.

STALKER 2 was originally expected on Sept. 5, but was delayed to Nov. 20.

The final game will be available on PC and Xbox Series X, where it will be included as part of the Xbox Game Pass program and available to all subscribers the day of its release.

At this point, I think we can safely assume that nobody is going to spend their hard-earned money on tickets to see the Borderlands movie.

The reviews from fans and critics have been absolutely scathing, and frankly, I think we all deserved better.

If you’d like to experience what is still the best version of Borderlands, you can currently pick up the Borderlands Collection: Pandora’s Box from Steam for just $37.12.

Pandora’s Box is a comprehensive collection of the four mainline titles in the Borderlands franchise in addition to all of their corresponding DLC, including cosmetic items and other extras, which total a $664.47 value.

Baldur’s Gate 3 won the premier award for narrative excellence in sci-fiction and fantasy media on Sunday.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is the second video game to win the newly created category at the annual Hugo Awards.

The organization attempted to create an award for Best Interactive Video Game in 2006 but didn’t receive enough nominations.

That makes Baldur’s Gate 3 only the second game to win the award.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has already won the Game of the Year Award at five major video game award ceremonies: the Golden Joystick Awards, The Game Awards, the D.I.C.E.

Netflix wanted to be in on the One Piece business — so much so that not only are they just doing live-action One Piece (with season 2 currently in production), they’re also working with Wit Studio to remake the One Piece anime.

The One Piece, said forthcoming anime that was first announced in December last year, would be running concurrently with the still airing One Piece anime.

One Piece now means something different than One Piece then, and a new anime could add a bit of polish to those first chapters.

The creative team at Wit wants very badly to get everything just right, as the new behind-the-scenes look at The One Piece above shows.

So how exactly do they capture what “One Piece” real…

And there’s no better way to get ready than by throwing on a few horror movies just as the sun starts setting a little earlier.

Every month we pick out a few of the best horror movies that Netflix currently has to offer.

It’s also one of the most violent, creepiest, and most disturbing horror movies of the last decade, which certainly makes it worth a look.

All of this makes The Wailing a staggering, ridiculously ambitious horror movie, and unlike just about any other movie ever made.

Cave diving is dangerous enough under the best circumstances, but as you might expect, this particular group of caves is absolutely full of very scary sharks.

This was quickly masked the following year when World of Warcraft Classic drove a huge spike in popularity which was sustained by the pandemic gaming boom in 2020.

Krafton, the publisher behind PUBG: Battlegrounds and The Callisto Protocol, has acquired Tango Gameworks, the studio responsible for The Evil Within games and Hi-Fi Rush.

Tango was shuttered by Microsoft and ZeniMax Media in May, but the talent who formed the Tokyo-based studio will be integrated into Krafton, which now owns the rights to Hi-Fi Rush.

Hi-Fi Rush is available on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.

Tango Gameworks became part of Xbox’s stable of studios when ZeniMax was acquired by Microsoft in 2021.

The studio found great critical success with Hi-Fi Rush in 2023.

In “Interrogation” [from Lorelei], I used the theme from “Woman on the Other Side”, another song from Lorelei and the Laser Eyes.

It was also inspired partly by Angelo Badalamenti’s walking baselines and slow jazzy drums in “Audrey’s Dance” from Twin Peaks.

Few things are better than settling down with a good book, but sometimes the settling is easier said than done.

For all those times, there’s no better place to turn than audiobooks.

All these options making picking your next audiobook a bit of a chore, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

The dramatized audiobooks for A Court of Thorns and Roses are probably the most popular option — they’re cast with different voice actors for each character, and the audio-engineered foley sounds help you envision the scenes as they happen.

It’s a delicious listen even if you don’t have the right setting, of course.

Perhaps surprisingly, there is also a whiff of Ninja Theory's 2013 reboot DmC: Devil May Cry in Dante's callow slacker-dom and apparent allergy to introspection.

In one of the show's best jokes, she's dead wrong (at least at first; Dante, Mary and White Rabbit all get some unexpected dimensionality as the tale unfolds).

Amid all the excitement of Switch 2's big news bonanza, Nintendo has quietly confirmed some physical releases on the console won't have any game data on the included game card.

Nintendo is referring to these physical releases as game-key cards and, unlike standard game cards, they'll only contain a download "key", rather than the full game data.

Inserting the card into your Switch 2 starts the download process, after which you'll need to stick the game-key card into your console any time you want to play.

Since Switch 2 can play Switch games, it didn't feel right to use the same naming convention as Super NES.

В 2023 году Unity оказалась в центре скандала с монетизацией движка: она ввела сбор Runtime Fee за установки игр, что сильно не понравилось разработчикам.

Они были очень недовольны нашей ценовой политикой и тем, как мы с ними разговариваем.

А мы не могли развивать бизнес, в котором [приходится бороться] с клиентами.

В течении этих месяцев Бромберг регулярно проводил переговоры с различными клиентами Unity, на которых он обсуждал идеи по изменению ценовой политики движка.

У студии не оказалось возможности перевести задействованных в нем сотрудников на другие проекты, и она была вынуждена их уволить.

В последний раз Eidos-Montréal проводила крупные увольнения в начале 2024-го — в ходе реструктуризации холдинга Embracer Group она рассталась с 97 сотрудниками.

Из документа следует, что суд вынес промежуточное постановление, запрещающее SayGames распространять и монетизировать игру, которая называется Race Master 3D — Car Racing.

Beresnev Games приняла решение о прекращении лицензионного договора на проект Race Master 3D.

Предмет спора — Race Master 3D.

SayGames также было запрещено разрабатывать, производить или распространять клоны Race Master 3D и любые подобные игры, пока не будет вынесено окончательное решение по делу.

Учитывая, что Race Master 3D к настоящему моменту оперируется под аккаунтом Beresnev Games, то можно ли говорить, что SayGames исполнила предписания суда?

Netflix’s latest foray into animated video game adaptations is a new spin on Devil May Cry, Capcom’s excellent series of character action games that kicked off in 2001.

AdvertisementThough it’s a bit bloated to start, Devil May Cry is still a rollicking good time even while it’s getting to the good stuff.

The action in Devil May Cry is sublime, rapidly oscillating from Dante’s signature campy swagger to dramatic hyperviolence at the drop of a hat.

But Devil May Cry had me in its sights, and now that it’s cleared space for a more traditional Dante story next season, I’m down for a second round.

Trump Shocks With Massive New Tariffs That Could Make The Switch 2 Cost More Than $600 Trump Shocks With Massive New Tariffs That Could Make The Switch 2 Cost More Than $600

Fans faced a bit of sticker shock today when Nintendo revealed the Switch 2 would cost $450, especially with some new physical games set to cost as much as $90.

Those include tariffs of 34 percent on China and up to 46 percent on Vietnam, where much of the manufacturing for the Switch 2 takes place.

“Expect more production to shift to Vietnam with Switch 2, but it takes 6 months (or more) to gear up.

It’s also possible that part of the Switch 2's $450 price tag built in some extra room for Nintendo to eat potential tariff costs before passing them onto fans.

The Switch 2 is forecast to sell 14.7 million units globally in its first year.

A Minecraft Movie Sounds Like A Mess That Might Not Be Terrible A Minecraft Movie Sounds Like A Mess That Might Not Be Terrible

A Minecraft Movie comes out this weekend and early reviews are all over the place.

Microsoft’s Hollywood debut might feel like naked IP exploitation but it’s not necessarily the mess the initial trailer suggested.

AdvertisementMashable’s Kimber Myers was more upbeat, though she conceded that probably nobody watching the movie is there for the story.

“A Minecraft Movie might also provide a deeper understanding of the universe (Minecraft’s, not the real one) for those who haven’t experienced it firsthand before.

She left out ‘to watch.’” Ultimately, A Minecraft Movie doesn’t sound anywhere near as bad a video-game-turned-movie as last year’s Borderlands, but it also doesn’t seem set to have t…

So What The Hell Is Mario Drinking In Mario Kart World?
So What The Hell Is Mario Drinking In Mario Kart World? So What The Hell Is Mario Drinking In Mario Kart World?

And one of the launch games for the console is Mario Kart World, a big, sprawling kart racer that looks like a lot of fun.

But uh, what the heck is Mario drinking in that can?

So in the trailer for Mario Kart World, there’s a moment where we see the iconic plumber himself leaning up against a small truck (a kart, you might even call it) and he looks pretty chill.

It’s the platonic ideal of fruit; fruit as a concept, but made real and delicious.

Battery life for gaming handhelds is always a challenge but the tradeoffs for the Switch 2 appear to be particularly brutal.

In fact, it’s somehow even worse than that of the original Switch.

In theory, that nets out to a battery life estimate of “Approx.

The Nintendo Switch 2 launches on June 5 and at least one major retailer is bringing back an old-school midnight launch to help fans celebrate early.

Best Buy will be opening stores at 12:01 a.m.

ET for anyone who pre-ordered the console and launch games like Mario Kart World.

Pre-orders for retailers, including Best Buy, will go live on April 9 (and won’t require you to navigate Nintendo’s convoluted rules for preferential treatment).

Back in January, I lamented the idea that the Switch 2 would simply be an upgraded Switch.

It didn’t look like that was happening at all this year...until the reveal of the camera.

But the moment the Switch 2 Direct’s video started showing how it intended to use a camera, everything started getting that notorious Ninty weirdness.

The Direct reveals how you can natter away and share multiplayer gaming, and then, out of nowhere, drops in the existence of the Switch 2 Camera.

But it’s the sort of daftness I was hoping for, offering imaginative developers the ability to do even sillier things.

And it will, as previously announced, support most OG Switch games.

However, two new compatibility lists from Nintendo seem to indicate that over 100 Switch games will have various issues or just flat-out not work on the upcoming Switch 2.

The first list seems to imply that some OG Switch games on the new console will start but will have “in-game compatibility issues,” while the second suggests many more games have “start up issues,” which sounds like they won’t boot up at all?

It seems all first-party Nintendo games will at least boot up and play on Switch 2.

The 2D platforming star is back in a 3D adventure for the first time since the absolutely terrible Donkey Kong 64.

Fortunately, things look way better in Donkey Kong Bananza for the Switch 2.

Donkey Kong Bananza is slated to arrive on Switch 2 in its second month on July 17.

The physical version of Donkey Kong Bananza will be $10 more, which diehard collectors will no doubt pay.

Now all we need is a new Donkey Kong amiibo, though hopefully the prices on that don’t get jacked up as well.

The introduction of the Action Button on the iPhone was not the only physical change that Apple wanted to bring to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, as the company was also testing solid-state buttons for these two flagships.

Unfortunately, a myriad number of technical difficulties meant that the feature would not arrive in time, with the same problem persisting during the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max launch.

Since there are more complications involved than previously anticipated, it is likely that these solid-state buttons will not make their way to the iPhone 17 series.

Nintendo Switch 2’s Price Could Go Even Higher Due To Trump’s Tariffs
Nintendo Switch 2’s Price Could Go Even Higher Due To Trump’s Tariffs Nintendo Switch 2’s Price Could Go Even Higher Due To Trump’s Tariffs

Tariffs announced by Donald Trump will drastically impact a number of industries across the world, and video games are in no way excluded.

While Apple's supply chain issues might not matter as much to gamers, what they likely care more about is the potential the tariffs have to raise the already high price of the Nintendo Switch 2.

Nintendo revealed its new console in an hour-long Nintendo Direct event on Wednesday, with the price of the console and the new games we'll be playing on it revealed immediately after.

In 2019, Nintendo moved part of its hardware manufacturing out of China and into Vietnam and Cambodia.

Unless some kind of deal is reached, including a lower tariff or an exception…

Apple’s Supply Chain To Bear The Immense Financial Burden Of The Trump Tariffs, With Multiple Countries, Including Vietnam & India, Hit With Up To A 46 Percent Levy
Apple’s Supply Chain To Bear The Immense Financial Burden Of The Trump Tariffs, With Multiple Countries, Including Vietnam & India, Hit With Up To A 46 Percent Levy Apple’s Supply Chain To Bear The Immense Financial Burden Of The Trump Tariffs, With Multiple Countries, Including Vietnam & India, Hit With Up To A 46 Percent Levy

During the announcement at a White House event, Trump stated that the tariffs would reach up to a whopping 46 percent.

Additionally, the Trump administration will also introduce what it calls ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on select countries where U.S. exports are available at increased prices due to international governments.

Furthermore, the reason for expanding out of China will now be discouraged by Apple as these too, have been hit with tariffs.

For instance, Vietnam and India would be subject to 46 percent and 26 percent levies, respectively.

Unfortunately, inflicting pain on China appears to be a target for the U.S., so the aforementioned tariffs might remain in place.

Musk Denies Leaving US Government – Tesla Shares Sink By 3.5% Amidst Back-to-Back Target Cuts
Musk Denies Leaving US Government – Tesla Shares Sink By 3.5% Amidst Back-to-Back Target Cuts Musk Denies Leaving US Government – Tesla Shares Sink By 3.5% Amidst Back-to-Back Target Cuts

Despite news hitting the wires of Elon Musk's potential separation from the US government, Tesla's stock received back-to-back target cut earlier today.

Today's share price bump comes despite Tesla's Q1 vehicle deliveries sitting at 336,681 and widely missing analyst estimates of 377,000.

CFRA's Q1 Tesla delivery estimate of 360,000 was lower than Wall Street's 377,000 estimate but Tesla still fell short.

Wedbush's Dan Ives, who is one of Tesla's biggest cheerleaders, maintains his Outperform rating and a $550 share price target.

Tesla's shares reversed course in aftermarket trading and dipped by 3.5% after Musk's comments made rounds.

From the interview, we learned that R&D for the Nintendo Switch 2 began before 2019.

Interestingly, another name considered at some point for the console was Super Nintendo Switch.

We even considered ideas like "Super Nintendo Switch".

So, in the hope that it becomes the new standard for Nintendo Switch, we named it Nintendo Switch 2.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, on the other hand, features 'smooth-gliding sticks' and 'seamless grips' that feel better to touch.

For the most part, any game that you currently enjoy on your Nintendo Switch will be playable on the Nintendo Switch 2 from the moment the Switch 2 launches this coming June.

However, some games have already been listed as having compatibility issues or start-up issues, each of which is being investigated.

And then there's one lonely game that Nintendo has already said will absolutely not be playable on Nintendo Switch 2: the Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 4: VR Kit.

The other Labo cardboard accessories for Nintendo Switch can still work fine, with the caveat that you won't be able to use the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 controllers; you will need to keep a pair of original Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons h…

Intel's Gaudi 3 AI accelerator has officially been adopted by IBM Cloud.

The company hasn't managed to find a hold over the industry even now, which is why the adoption rates with Intel's Gaudi AI lineup are much lower.

By bringing Intel Gaudi 3 AI accelerators to IBM Cloud, we’re enabling businesses to help scale generative AI workloads with optimized performance for inferencing and fine-tuning.

Overall, it is safe to say that Intel's Gaudi 3 might pan out to be an impressive offering, given that it receives the right marketing and adoption.

While it certainly cannot mimic NVIDIA's options in terms of popularity and performance, Gaudi 3 is a viable alternative.

However, value-oriented system builders who want to save every buck as possible will find the Ryzen 7 7800X3D a better option, especially when now, it is available at $399 on the online retailer.

The best thing about this deal is that the logistics and shipping is being handled by Amazon, and not some third-party seller who will likely attempt to con buyers by attaching a discount on the Ryzen 7 7800X3D then immediately ghost them.

Currently, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor and MSI’s PRO B650-P Wi-Fi ProSeries motherboard bundle is going for $589.99 thanks to a 16 percent discount.

That shield is the most evident example – enemy projectiles are now plentiful, forcing you to block as much as dodge.

Parrying is even better – certain enemy attacks are marked with green effects, and blocking within a parry window can stun enemies, shatter their defences, and earn more charges for your devastating melee attacks.

Every single weapon, both ranged and melee, has an upgrade tree – I want to see how gross these can get.

Taken all together, you can see how The Dark Ages lives up to the idea that you’re playing as a super weapon.

And that’s before your super weapon gets into, well, an even bigger super weapon.

Baby Steps has dozens upon dozens of collectibles to find, and the purpose they serve is part of the journey.

So you can either dive deep into those stories or just live out your own little life along the side.

With meals being a central part of Hobbit life, it was really important to be central to our game.

We really wanted what we made to fit within Tolkien’s world, so we positioned it just after The Hobbit and before the events of The Lord of the Rings.

How do you want players to feel when they’re playing the game themselves, whether they’re fans, or not as familiar with The Lord of the Rings?

It’s really important to us to make something that we felt Tolkien would be happy with.

Stray Gods studio reveals its next game, an 'unholy roguelite deckbuilder' about hunting demons in a festering city Stray Gods studio reveals its next game, an 'unholy roguelite deckbuilder' about hunting demons in a festering city

Following the success of the musical RPG Stray Gods, Summerfall Studios has unveiled its next project: a "demonic roguelite deckbuilder" called Malys.

The city teems with demons, and among them lies your prey: Malys, a demon of extraordinary cunning and power.

"To achieve that goal, we need your backing, support and feedback," the studio said.

"So few studios get to release a second game, and the second project is often the one that can provide studio stability and longevity.

Assuming it's a success, and Summerfall can keep to its plan, that means the game should be ready for launch by the end of the year.

The first title update for Monster Hunter Wilds arrives this Friday, and with it comes arena quests.

I'll confess I'm having a bit of difficulty parsing the exact differences between Arena Quests, Free Challenge Quests, and Challenge Quests—even with the provided arena quest explainer—but one thing is clear: Capcom doesn't want people meddling with the arena quest leaderboards.

Monster Hunter is, first and foremost, a cooperative series, but arena quests offer a chance at bragging rights for hunters with a competitive streak.

The creators of A Minecraft Movie approached adapting the game delicately, opting to 'not take ourselves too seriously, but take the game very seriously' The creators of A Minecraft Movie approached adapting the game delicately, opting to 'not take ourselves too seriously, but take the game very seriously'

The most volatile part of A Minecraft Movie was always going to be community reception.

It's for this reason that finding the target audience for A Minecraft Movie was always going to be tricky.

It's obvious that A Minecraft Movie is predominantly for kids, with all of Jack Black's yelling, big explosions, and wholesome humour.

But the director and producer didn't want to completely cut out older players from enjoying this film, and so had the tricky task of making this film more appealing to older players.

If you love Minecraft, then this film is good enough in that it lets you look at the Overworld in a different light.

'Never give up the spark': A Minecraft Movie's director and producer hope that this film can inspire adults to carry on creating 'Never give up the spark': A Minecraft Movie's director and producer hope that this film can inspire adults to carry on creating

While I wasn't expecting A Minecraft Movie to take that angle, it does make sense.

Anything's possible, and that freedom is Minecraft's greatest trait, so it tracks that A Minecraft Movie would focus on how important it is never to stop creating.

"What this movie is trying to talk about is that we shouldn't let anything stifle that spark and we should enjoy making things."

(Image credit: Warner Bros)Hess and Ólafssonon discussed some of the harder moments on set, and how creating A Minecraft Movie wasn't always super straightforward and fun.

Never stop being playful or creative, and do it just for the sake of being creative.

"People were playing the game a lot when we weren't shooting, in the evenings, and over weekends," producer Torfi Ólafssonon tells me.

There was this sense of unbound, collaborative creativity and adventure, which you experience when you are playing with friends on a Minecraft server."

The vibe of working with friends towards a shared goal on a Minecraft server is unmatched.

(Image credit: Warner Bros)There are a ton of cool moments in A Minecraft Movie, which make it clear that the people working on it do have a special love for Minecraft.

If nothing else, A Minecraft Movie has brought on that bi-annual itch to return to that one unfinished Minecraft world and carry on my hard work.

A Minecraft Movie manages to show off the beautiful vistas, creative fun, and the wacky adventures that Minecraft is known for, but its story is seriously lacking.

An hour and forty-minute live-action Minecraft movie.

Instead of trying to become the new canon Minecraft experience, A Minecraft Movie decides to focus on a few individuals and their experiences within the game.

Survival MMO Dune: Awakening releases next month on May 20, and Funcom is churning out information about it faster than a sandworm poops out spice.

In a recent livestream, members of the Dune: Awakening team answered questions from chat, and interestingly one of those questions wasn't about what happens when you play Dune: Awakening, but what happens when you don't play it.

But what if you take a break from Dune: Awakening for a few days, or longer?

The other difference is, while other players in Conan Exiles are a threat to your base, in Dune: Awakening it's something else.

85% great if you listen to our BattleTech review from back when it came out.

The tabletop experience is, well, not a million miles off the videogame one.

You hop in a big, stompy mech and use it to destroy your enemies, who often have their own big, stompy mechs.

Yep, Metroid Prime 4's Box Art For Switch 2 Is... Corrupted
Yep, Metroid Prime 4's Box Art For Switch 2 Is... Corrupted Yep, Metroid Prime 4's Box Art For Switch 2 Is... Corrupted

Remember when Nintendo debuted its gameplay trailer for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond during last week's Switch Direct (gosh, that feels like yonks ago, now)?

Remember how it followed up with one of the most awesome-looking box art designs we've seen for a Metroid game?

Nintendo has shared the box art for the 'Nintendo Switch 2 Edition' of Prime 4, and frankly, it's not great.

While the original Switch version showcased the key art in all its glory with nothing but the title, Switch logo, and ESRB rating to get in the way, the Switch 2 version is a whole different story.

For starters, we're still getting used to that massive red bar at the top which distinguishes Switch 2 games from original Swit…

Upgrade Packs from SMP Jamboree and Kirby FL will probably cost approx.

Nintendo's Switch 2 Direct highlighted all sorts of new and existing titles but one of the more interesting discoveries in the American broadcast was a box art for what appears to be the 3DS version of Yoshi's Woolly World (officially known as Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World) in the "compatible Nintendo Switch titles".

The Switch instead has Yoshi's Crafted World and it's apparently this particular game that was featured in the Japanese and European broadcast.

One of the biggest criticisms against the Nintendo Switch is its home screen.

There's nothing wrong with it, per se, but it does lack a certain pizazz that we had come to expect from Nintendo's consoles.

The House of Mario didn't pull back the curtain on what creative design swings the Switch 2 takes, menu-wise, in today's Direct, but it has shared an image of it in a recently updated webpage.

At an initial glance, you would be forgiven for assuming that the Switch 2 menu is a carbon copy of its predecessor.

Vision Pro Update Adds Companion App, Improved Guest Demos, and Apple Intelligence Features Vision Pro Update Adds Companion App, Improved Guest Demos, and Apple Intelligence Features

Apple announced today that the latest update to Vision Pro, visionOS 2.4 is now available to the public.

While the first Apple Intelligence features reached iPhones, iPads, and Macs back in October, 2024, Vision Pro was curiously left out.

Not only did the headset not get any of the Apple Intelligence features, at that point Apple hadn’t even confirmed that the headset ever would get them.

That finally changes today with VisionOS 2.4, now available to the public, which adds the same Apple Intelligence features that users can access on other devices.

Beyond just adding the usual slate of Apple Intelligence features, VisionOS 2.4 directly addresses commonly cited pain points of using the head…

Deadly Premonition creator SWERY believes VR will become “the next major computing platform” that goes beyond gaming.

Speaking to UploadVR in a recent Death Game Hotel interview, White Owls CEO Hidetaka 'SWERY' Suehiro shared his thoughts on the future of VR.

Diving into software, Suehiro imagines that this will deliver “an entirely new kind of operating system” designed for wearable VR/MR tech.

“Ultimately, I believe VR won’t just be a peripheral for gaming.

It’s becoming the next major computing platform, much like smartphones did.

mocopi Pro Kit Impressions: Hands-On With Sony’s Full Body Motion Capture System
mocopi Pro Kit Impressions: Hands-On With Sony’s Full Body Motion Capture System mocopi Pro Kit Impressions: Hands-On With Sony’s Full Body Motion Capture System

I went body-in with Sony's new mocopi Pro motion capture system with 12 points of body tracking at GDC 2025.

The mocopi Pro system from Sony aims to elevate its body tracking system beyond the six points of the base system by adding six more.

That said, the other interesting use case for mocopi Pro is full body tracking for VR.

Announced in 2022 and released in 2023, Sony's mocopi sensors initially required a smartphone to operate with SteamVR.

Overall, though, I was impressed testing mocopi Pro, and it seemed to have solid performance to my eyes.
