Как будто они никуда и не пропадали.

И в этом, пожалуй, главная магия творчества Принса.

И это отличный повод в очередной раз переслушать классику поп-музыки.

Видя перспективу в видеоиграх, она решила создать гибрид смартфона с портативкой и потягаться с Nintendo и её Game Boy Advance. Так и родился N-Gage.

Все мы смотрим ужастики или играем в хоррор-игры для того, чтобы как-то разбавить привычную нам повседневную картину мира.

Борьба между кланами ведётся не только за контроль большего количества провинций, но и за владение самыми богатыми регионами.

Для того чтобы участвовать в событиях «Глобальной карты», необходимо вступить в один из кланов — в одиночку сражаться на «глобалке» нельзя.

Крутые танки и уйма наградСобытия, происходящие на глобальной карте, делятся на сезоны и события — это напоминает ранговые бои, только зачёт здесь командный.

Через некоторое время был уже в руководстве группой кланов и координировал их действия на глобальной карте.

Спустя несколько лет уже координировал целый альянс кланов в восточных праймах, командовал в боях, а ещё был «боевым троллем» на форуме.

Геймплей легко становится рутиной, ведь, как и в Papers, Please, поставить штамп «Нормален/ненормален» намного проще, чем задуматься о судьбе другого человека.

Однако проблема Mind Scanners и почти всех подобных игр — в том, что работать, бороться и страдать нам предлагают в откровенной карикатуре на тоталитарное общество.

А дабы вы вдруг не подумали, что это ради её блага, вам сообщают, что увидеться с ней нельзя.

Сюжетные детали и ретродизайн в игре, кстати, отсылают не только к Papers, Please, но и к стилистике их общего предка — фильма «Бразилия» Терри Гиллиама (рекомендую).

Негласные требования к вам и другим героям выглядят бессмысленными, поэтому и нет угрызений совести от нарушения …

Специалист по безопасности студии Respawn Конор Форд рассказал, что забанил 2086 игроков Apex Legends за использование уязвимостей.Одна уязвимость позволяла игрокам не терять ранговые очки после поражений, а вторая давала возможность высокоранговым игрокам попадать в матчи с игроками самого низкого ранга.Также Форд предоставил статистику распределения банов по платформам. Как оказалось, больше всего уязвимостями пользовались игроки на PS4. PS4 — 1965 игроков Xbox — 62 игрока PC — 44 игрока Switch — 15 игроковФорд добавил, что нарушившие правила игроки получили баны различной продолжительности в зависимости от степени злоупотребления уязвимостями.

Кажется, нынешнюю игровую засуху можно назвать самой милосердной за последние годы. Обычно летом вообще не на что обратить внимания, однако в этот раз август обещает принести нам сразу несколько громких долгостроев, вроде Humankind и Psychonauts 2 а также пару-другую довольно интригующих проектов, как, например, Aliens: Fireteam Elite.

Макс Гиттель, независимый разработчик из Германии, четыре года назад начал ради забавы делать игру об освоении чужих планет. Но со временем заметил, что «факультативный» проект со временем разрастается в нечто большее. И теперь он представил Hexoplanet.Hexoplanet — стратегия, главные герои которой — разумные самостоятельные роботы, которые преобразуют планеты и делают из них новый дом для своих хозяев, людей.Мир Hexoplanet выстроен на основе шестиугольной сетки.

Disney's Jungle Cruise sailed its way to a domestic box office win with $34.2 million earned in its opening weekend. The film earned another $30 million through Disney+ Premier Access and $27.6 million in the international box office for a global total of $90 million.

While The Ascent features NVIDIA's DLSS and ray tracing on Steam, it does not currently support either on Xbox Game Pass for PC. Fortunately, developer Neon Giant has confirmed it is working to bring these features to the Game Pass version.

Edgar Ramirez, who is set to play Atlas in the upcoming Borderlands movie, has shared why fans of the games should be excited for this upcoming adaptation.

The Jim Henson/David Bowie fantasy film Labyrinth turned 35 years old this summer, and its fandom is stronger than ever -- from fan fiction to masquerade balls and beyond.

Taika Waititi is reworking his animated Flash Gordon movie into a live-action project. The Thor: Ragnarok director is set to write and direct the comic strip adaptation.

Halo Infinite spoilers may have accidentally leaked from the multiplayer tech test, 343 Industries warns.

Action film legend Jean-Claude Van Damme, star of Bloodsport and Street Fighter, accidentally helped a Parisian jewel thief escape this week by drawing a huge crowd of fans.

Pokemon Unite is an entertaining casual MOBA constrained by its overcommitment to simplicity (and some questionable microtransactions).

While it wears its obvious FromSoftware influences on its sleeve, Eldest Souls is an incredibly satisfying boss rush that still manages to set itself apart.

The Sunday Papers is our weekly roundup of great writing about (mostly) videogames from across the web.

Before you deliver some scritches, let's read this week's best writing about games.

Not when Japan is under its second state of emergency in 12 months, one that restricts outside gatherings and operating hours for establishments like Game Newton.

Manage cookie settingsFor Fanbyte, Chris Penwell wrote about the unlikely fan remaster of Shrek SuperSlam, a game revived by memes.

Beneath its surface lies a surprisingly engaging fighting game that keeps its competitive nature alive.

Median XL is one of the oldest and most popular mods for Diablo 2 - and it's still being updated.

A trailer was released last night for Sigma 2.0, the mod's "largest engine and content patch."

Next month, version 2.0 will bring a lot more extra content and tweaks to accomodate modern computers, but features like worldwide multiplayer are already popular in 1.8.0.

If you're new to Diablo 2, I'd still say you should start with the base game, but Median XL is ideal for anyone already experienced.

You can download Median XL for free via a downloader on its official site.

On PC, that included the unlikely mashup of a Total War shogunate and Football Manager's Manager Man.

I am therefore here for the similarly unlikely mashup of Sonic and Two Point Hospital, a free pack for the hospital management sim that lets you dress your staff as Sonic, Amy, Tails and Knuckles and pepper your hallway with Sonic statues.

The free Sonic pack is included in the latest Two Point Hospital update to coincide with the 30th anniversary of Sonic.

Two Point Hospital itself is also free to play for the next 48 hours, and discounted by 75%, as well.

If you haven't played it, Two Point Hospital is a decent spiritual successor to Bullfrog's Theme Hospital.

And yet, and yet, I keep re-watching the launch trailer and reading the Steam page for Bustafellows.

In Bustafellows - love that name - you play as Teuta, a freelance journalist working in the American city of New Sieg.

It's not the dating aspect that puts me off these games, but the quality of the writing.

Perhaps this is the real dating sim: looking at snazzy screenshots and carefully worded descriptions and swiping left on what you think you're seeing.

You can pick up Bustafellows from Steam for £31.49/€36.

Horizon Forbidden West hasn't been announced for PC, but it's surely only a matter of time.

Bloomberg's source reportedly confirmed to Jason Schreier that Forbdden West had been delayed into the "first quarter of 2022".

Sony has delayed the PlayStation exclusive Horizon Forbidden West to the first quarter of 2022, a source tells Bloomberg, confirming a rumor shared by @JeffGrubb yesterday.

Horizon Forbidden West is the sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn.

Although, maybe Forbidden West is delayed because Aloy will be spending this winter season visiting Genshin Impact instead.

Halo Infinite's technical preview is running this weekend, letting some players get their hands on with the game's multiplayer for the first time.

It turns out, however, that 343 "unintentionally" left a few campaign files in the preview, and data miners have already spat details of Infinite's story on to the internet.

IMPORTANT: Please don't post data-mined content to your channels!

The technical preview is effectively the first in a series of beta tests, with this one focused on multiplayer and in particular the game's bots.

Fortunately this weekend the only things I can see in our future are a buncha fun video games.

People keep suggesting MMOs, and I keep refusing, so I'll probably just play Stardew Valley this weekend until I cave and get New World.

KatharineI'm visiting family this weekend, so there won't be much time to play games unfortunately.

I've got a fairly busy weekend ahead, but I'm hoping to squeeze in a little more outlandish steampunk anime crime solving if I can.

But you, reader, you moist precipitation, what are you playing this weekend?

Forza Motorsport 7 is driving off into the sunset in September.

It's a routine part of the Forza game lifecyle, they explain, so they've got plans in place for current owners to keep playing online and Xbox Game Pass folks to snag a permanent copy.

"Players who already own Forza Motorsport 7 will still be able to download and play the game and its associated content as normal," they explain.

If you're not in tune with Forza, they explain that this is a pretty normal thing, bummer though it may be.

Microsoft are running a rather steep 75% discount on Forza Motorsport 7 until it gets taken back to the garage for good.

On that note, crafting and haggling sim Potion Craft is excellent.

Potion Craft has just brewed up a new playtest that you can tackle for the next two weeks with all sorts of new characters and its mysterious alchemy machine.

Potion Craft is a delightfully physical take on crafting, in which you need to grind up ingredients, stir your cauldron, and pump the bellows to create each concoction.

You can play Potion Craft yourself right now and I genuinely recommend you do.

Potion Craft doesn't have a full release date yet, but still appears to be planning a launch before the end of 2021.

Valve's hardware products have really run the spectrum from the VR gold standard Valve Index to the less impressive console-like Steam Machine.

Sure enough, Valve say that "Steam Deck feels like the culmination of a lot of that earlier work."

In another interview with IGN, three Steam Deck designers sit down to talk about how the Steam Deck was a puzzle that required solving both hardware and software issues.

Despite those shortcomings, Coomer says "I don't think we would have made as much progress on Steam Deck if we hadn't had that experience."

In other Steam Deck details, we're expecting it to support PC game mods, make gyro-aiming more common, and maybe bring Ubisoft games back to Steam.

The extraterrestrial survival game Icarus may have just made RPS's list of top games in August but, oh dear.

If "session-based PvE survival" doesn't immediately spark recognition, don't worry.

You can check out Ed's Icarus preview from last month where he explains his early impressions of Icarus's survival and crafting.

"By focusing on a new gameplay system each Beta Weekend we can gather more useful feedback from our community as we iterate and evolve the world.

Icarus's proper launch date is now planned for November, with those beta weekends for pre-orderers beginning on August 28.

TFI Friday is a regular column where Alice Bee finds some new indie games and presents them to you.

It has been a hot minute since I hit you with some fun new indie games (I was on holiday!

I was too tired to come up with a theme, though, so instead here are just some fun games that I think you'll like, woooooo!

You control your virus and swoop around an area of the body, and healthy cells will indicate how many infected cells they're touching with a number.

The Artful Escape has been a long time coming for Beethoven & Dinosaur founder and designer Johnny Galvatron.

Galvatron describes the game as, "kinda like if David Bowie went on a space journey and came back as Ziggy Stardust," and you can see it right from the get go.

It's when Galvatron fast forwards to an area known as The Heliotromms that The Artful Escape really comes alive.

Galvatron says it was "liberating" to create a stage persona for someone else during the making of The Artful Escape.

As for the "artful" side of Francis' escape, Galvatron's descriptions have me itching to see them in the flesh.

To attract new players, Guilty Gear needs to learn from other fighting games and change up its formula, something it’s done with great success in the latest entry, Guilty Gear Strive.

Compare Street Fighter Alpha to Street Fighter 3 or 5, Mortal Kombat 9 to Mortal Kombat 11, or even Tekken 6 to 7.

For example, Guilty Gear’s Roman Cancel system made its first appearance in the second game of the series, Guilty Gear X.

“In general, the Guilty Gear series up until now has become something only the core fans could keep up with.

Guilty Gear Strive quickly surpassed all-time concurrent player peaks for Street Fighter 5 and Tekken 7 on Steam.

It’s the annual Space Cats Peace Turtles Twilight Imperium Tournament, and it might just be the world’s largest tournament for the world’s longest board game.

Twilight Imperium, now in its fourth edition, is a 4X game, a shorthand that refers to explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate.

The name is a reference to two of the game’s most popular factions, the Emirates of Hacan (the Space Cats) and the Xxcha Kingdom (the Peace Turtles).

He credits the podcast for breathing life into the game’s community — and with helping to make a case for the latest expansion, Prophecy of Kings.

The much-awaited, long-delayed fourth installment in the Rebuild of Evangelion film series that retells the original TV series’ story, Evangelion 1.0+3.0: Thrice Upon a Time scales the steep emotional walls built by its predecessors, and bloodies its fingers during the climb.

As it turns out, Gendo, perhaps more than any other character, is the definitive stamp separating the Rebuild series from prior iterations.

Winston Duke (Black Panther, Us) stars as Will, a mildly fussy, repressed bureaucrat tasked with interviewing and testing people to “fill vacancies” on Earth.

And Emma (Deadpool’s Zazie Beetz) is calmly independent, shunting aside Will’s quizzes and focusing on her own passions.

There are elements of Krzysztof Kieślowski’s The Double Life of Veronique in Nine Days, in the swoony way Will’s favorite charge on Earth lives for music, and in her ultimate fate.

Nine Days’ unconventional setting and premise are a minor thrill all on their own, but the actual execution of the story is…

Pokémon Unite, The Pokémon Company’s popular free-to-play MOBA on Nintendo Switch, has a system that many players are criticizing as “pay to win” and unfair for the competitive integrity of the newly released game.

Held items are similar to items in traditional Pokémon games and can be equipped to a single Pokémon.

In Pokémon Unite, they increase stats like health, defense, movement speed, and attack.

Here’s where fans of Pokémon Unite are calling the game “pay to win.” Item Enhancers are normally earned via limited time challenges and the battle pass.

The developer’s other popular free-to-play games, like Arena of Valor and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Mobile: Army Attack, don’t get as mu…

In New Legacy, the basketball game is no longer just the fundamentals.

Instead, it restages everything within a basketball video game, changing the rules and using video games themselves to bring some important parts of contemporary video games into the film.

What they play is a video game-ass video game that sits somewhere between a MOBA and NBA Jam.

This game dominates the back half of the film, just like the original Space Jam, but its video game logic worms its way through the entirety of the plot.

In this way, New Legacy brings itself closer to games than simply including a video game in its plot.

Horizon Forbidden West, the upcoming follow-up to the popular open-world adventure from Guerrilla Games and Sony Interactive Entertainment, has reportedly been delayed to the first quarter of 2022.

The delay was first reported by Bloomberg News after video game reporter Jeff Grubb discussed the rumor on a Giant Bomb podcast.

The God of War sequel, which is also being published by Sony, had its release date pushed back to 2022.

This past June, in an interview for the Official PlayStation Podcast, Herman Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, said the Horizon Forbidden West team may or may not hit the planned timeframe.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice speedrunner Mitchriz pulled off an impressive playthrough of the game earlier this week, beating FromSoftware’s notoriously challenging game blindfolded.

Mitchriz, already an accomplished speedrunner with multiple records in Sekiro, managed to pull off his blindfolded run in just four hours and 35 minutes.

You can watch Mitchriz’s blindfolded speedrun on his Twitch channel in two parts (1, 2).

To usher in Black Panther's arrival on 16th August, Marvel's Avengers is having a free trial weekend on Steam, PlayStation, and Stadia.

It kicked off on 29th July and ends later today, 1st August, sending interest in the action game on PC soaring.

Looking at SteamDB (thanks, TheGamer), the game usually averages around only a few hundred concurrent users at a time, but the freeplay event has set a 24-hour peak of 10,161 players - with 10,121 online right now at the time of writing.

It doesn't quite hit the heights of its launch period - Marvel's Avengers peaked at almost 32,000 Steam players when it released last September - but it's a considerable spike for a game that had hitherto struggle…

Valve has reportedly sanctioned the release of Half-Life 2: Remastered Collection, a passion-project mod that "completely overhauls" the seminal shooter.

As noted by SteamDB (thanks, PCGN), the collection comes from Filip Victor and is "not Valve related", but Tyler McVicker - who focuses on news about Valve and Steam - reports that the remaster has "Valve's consent".

It's apparently the next iteration of the fantastic mod Half-Life 2: Update, a "completely free and extensive community-developed update for Half-Life 2 featuring beautiful lighting, countless bug fixes, and a brand new Community Commentary Mode".

It's available to anyone who owns Half-Life 2 on PC and offers "countless" bug f…

To celebrate Halo's 20th anniversary, the doughnut purveyor has created a special edition Halo Infinite doughnut that boasts blue icing and a familiar helmet.

The advertisement has some people speculating that the ad has solidified Halo Infinite's vague "Q4 2021" release window, too, teasing: "Why wait for November?"

It certainly fits in with the franchise's usual release window - Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 4, and Master Chief Collection all released that month.

Most of the 2000+ accounts recently banned from playing Apex Legends for "dashboarding" or exploiting matchmaking in Ranked mode had been playing on PS4.

The statistic came courtesy of Conor Ford, who manages Apex security at developer Respawn.

The ban hammer primarily targeted players caught "dashboarding", players who forcefully shut down the game at the end of a losing match to avoid losing RP.

By abusing it, players can erroneously maintain their high-rank status but thankfully, Respawn noticed the trend.

Final Fantasy 14 developer Square Enix has revealed it will redesign the logo for new job sage following fan feedback that for some, it triggered their trypophobia - a phobia of holes.

"The design concept is unchanged, with the icon being based on the four nouliths which form the sage's armament," Yoshida adds.

"The holes in the original design were added for detail, but they ended up appearing as a cluster.

To address the problem, the new icon reduces the holes while accentuating the design concept.

As Max Payne opens, our antihero is on the summit of a skyscraper while sirens wail in the gloom below.

About 250 pages appear in the final build and I'd argue they're essential to the Max Payne experience.

Ironically, in its earliest form, Max Payne was played from a top-down perspective like Remedy's first title, Death Rally.

Max Payne is 20 years old, then, but the men who helped bring it to life are still working in the business.

Halo Infinite launched its multiplayer technical preview this week in limited fashion: all you can do is play against bots - but these bots are no pushover.

To that end, the technical preview debuted with the Bot Arena playlist, which puts four players against four bots on arena maps.

The technical preview launched with bots that felt pretty easy, and last night I won every game against them.

Esports Boxing Club (ESBC) is delayed, its developers have announced.

The impressive-looking boxing game, which we covered in March after its gameplay reveal trailer caught the eye, was set to launch in early access form this summer.

Steel City Interactive founder Ash Habib said the company recently received additional investment, which means the team has more resources at its disposal.

I suspect the overwhelmingly positive reception to that initial gameplay trailer, which has nearly 1m views on YouTube, had a lot to do with that.

We also realise it's been 10 years since the last licensed boxing game, which has been frustrating for those of us who love boxing.

Microsoft has shown off Age of Empires 4 naval warfare in a brief new video, and it's certainly got the series' fans talking.

The developer of recently-released cyberpunk-themed RPG-shooter The Ascent has said it's working on a fix after players discovered the PC version lacks DLSS and ray tracing on Game Pass, but not Steam.

Here's the Digital Foundry video breakdown for The Ascent, tested on all Xbox consoles - and PC.

Players soon discovered the Game Pass version lacks some of the graphics features of the Steam version.

Specifically, the Game Pass version does not support Nvidia's DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) tech, and ray tracking simply doesn't work.

"We are working on bringing them up to parity," Tor Frick, co-founder of Neon Giant said to questions about this on Twitter.

Amid a significant share price fall, Activision Blizzard boss Bobby Kotick told staff the company's initial response was "tone deaf".

Activision Blizzard told IGN Blizzard implemented a two drink limit at company events in 2018.

Bloomberg addressed the question of whether Activision Blizzard will now listen to employee demands.

"We know there are a variety of topics that need to be considered," Activision Blizzard said.

Meanwhile, Activision Blizzard has drafted in lawfirm WilmerHale to "review" the company's HR policies.

343 has issued a Halo Infinite spoiler warning after "unintentionally" including campaign files in the preview build that was made available this week.

THERE ARE NO HALO INFINITE SPOILERS IN THIS ARTICLE.

Data-miners then found campaign files within the tech preview, and significant story spoilers are now on the internet.

The inclusion of these campaign files was a mistake, Joseph Staten, Head of Creative for Halo Infinite, said in a tweet.

"Hey folks, heads up: we unintentionally included a small number of #HaloInfinite campaign files in the tech preview build.

Horizon Forbidden West, the highly anticipated follow-up to Guerrilla Games' acclaimed open-world action-adventure Horizon Zero Dawn, has reportedly been delayed into 2022.

Announced last summer, Horizon Forbidden West was originally set to launch for PlayStation 4 and PS5 toward the end of this year; however, Sony hinted a slip might be possible back it June, when it announced God of War: Ragnarok would now be a 2022 title.

However, Bloomberg's Jason Schreier has now weighed in with the more definite statement that "Sony has delayed the PlayStation exclusive... to the first quarter of 2022", according to his source.

В апреле инди-студия Wolfire Games, создавшая экшен об антропоморфных животных Overgrowth , подала в суд на Valve .

В первую очередь инди-студию не устроило, что Steam собирает 75% продаж PC-игр в США.

Это вынуждает разработчиков идти в стор Valve и отдавать ему комиссию в 30%.

Оно запрещает издателям и разработчикам продавать ключи к играм в других сторах дешевле, чем в Steam.

Valve не сказала прямо, что она не указывает такой пункт в договоре.

О том, что это такое — спорят до сих пор, но аналитики считают, что они изменят гейм-дизайн, экономику и контент видеоигр.

В результате привычные сегодня игры-сервисы превратятся в игры-платформы, предназначенные для социализации пользователей и интеграции в них брендов.

Это связано с тем, что метавселенные расширяют игровой опыт, дают пользователям новую мотивацию играть, открывают новые каналы заработка и бизнес-модели, а также привлекают новую аудиторию.

Помимо привычных однопользовательских и онлайн-режимов, метавселенные будут предлагать пользователям возможности для творческого и социального взаимодействия за пределами кор-геймплея.

Для этого в Facebook была организована отдельная ком…

Позавчера около тысячи сотрудников Ubisoft подписали открытое письмо в поддержку коллег из Activision Blizzard .

В ответном письме генеральный директор Ubisoft заявил, что в компании серьезно отнеслись к поднятым вопросам и приняли их в качестве руководства к действиям.

Также в Ubisoft внедрили новые инструменты анонимных сообщений, обновили HR-процессы, запустили обязательные тренинги, обновили правила поведения и поменяли руководство в ряде офисов.

Они рады тому что, в компании вносятся улучшения, и что руководство согласно с тем, что сделанного пока было недостаточно.

Но они отметили, что Гиймо не уделил должного внимания всем их требованиям:«Ubisoft продолжает покрывать виновников сканд…

За первые семь дней с момента релиза The Witcher: Monster Slayer скачали миллион раз , подсчитали аналитики Sensor Tower .

Напомним, еще три дня назад польское бизнес-издание Bankier.pl обратило внимание на то, что The Witcher: Monster Slayer мог достичь от 500 тысяч до миллиона загрузок в одном Google Play.

Для сравнения, за первую неделю AR-игра Minecraft Earth получила 1,2 млн загрузок, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite — 1,3 млн загрузок, а Pokémon GO — 10 млн загрузок.

The Witcher: Monster Slayer вышла 21 июля.

Несмотря на множество багов на старте (в день релиза в техподдержку поступило свыше четырех тысяч обращений), проект был принят тепло.

Аналитическая компания GameRefinery подвела итоги второго квартала и рассказала о главных по кассе мобильных жанрах и издателях в США, Японии и Китая.

Например, американские геймеры любят играть в головоломки и отдают много денег Roblox — на ее долю приходится свыше 5% игровой выручки страны.

В прошлом июле Владимир Харитончик, программист Playtika, погиб в командировке в Турцию.

Портал dev.by подготовил большой материал, в котором рассказал, как на гибель сотрудника отреагировала компания и чего хочет его семья.

Рост выручки в первом полугодии составил 18% по сравнению с аналогичным периодом в 2020 году.

Показатель EBITDA при этом вырос на 42% и составил 4,1 млрд рублей.

Более подробно MY.GAMES рассказала о своих результатах за второй квартал 2021 года (закончился 30 июня).

Показатели за второй кварталВыручка за второй квартал выросла незначительно — всего на 1,1% в годовом выражении.

Показатель EBITDA во втором квартале составил 2,7 млрд рублей — рост на 13,1% по сравнению с аналогичным периодом за прошлый год.

Вчера сотни сотрудников вышли на забастовку и в очередной раз озвучили свои требования к руководству и лично к Бобби Котику (Bobby Kotick).

В частности, в письме гендиректора Activision Blizzard не было сказано о привлечении независимых экспертов для оценки работы HR-отдела и исключении арбитражных оговорок из трудовых договоров.

В расследовании Kotaku особое внимание уделяется так называемому «номеру Косби» (он же упоминался и в иске).

В комментарии Kotaku представитель Activision Blizzard отметил, что в прошлом году происходившие в «номере Косби» события стали предметом внутреннего расследования.

Поддержка со стороны сотрудников UbisoftОколо 500 бывших и нынешних сотрудников из 32 офисов …

В компании уверены — видеоигры сделают студентов более креативными и стрессоустойчивыми, а также научат работать в команде и принимать быстрые решения.

Авторы инициативы подчеркнули, что киберспорту учат в университетах по всему миру.

Например, в Нью Йоркском университете, Университете Флориды и Калифорнийском университете в Беркли есть курсы по игре в StarCraft.

В разговоре с «Коммерсантом» Федерация компьютерного спорта России отметила, что уже сотрудничает с НИУ ВШЭ и Финансовым университетом при правительстве.

Напомним, в 2019 году «Институт развития интернета» предложил ввести в школах в качестве эксперимента киберспортивные факультативные уроки.

That’s No Moon — новая студия, которую основали выходцы из Naughty Dog , Infinity Ward и других крупных компаний.

Команда уже привлекла инвестиции на сумму $100 млн и займется разработкой сюжетной AAA-игры.

Креативным директором проекта станет Тейлор Куросаки (Taylor Kurosaki), бывший нарративный дизайнер Naughty Dog и нарративный директор Infinity Ward.

Для этого на сайте компании открылись вакансии для специалистов в разных сферах разработки.

Однако, вероятно, это отсылка к знаменитой фразе Оби-Вана Кеноби из «Звездных войн»: «Это не луна, это космическая станция» (That’s no moon, it’s a space station).

Консоль разошлась тиражом в 10 млн проданных устройств по всему миру к 18 июля и стала самой быстро продаваемой приставкой Sony.

Как отметил глава PlayStation Джим Райан (Jim Ryan) в разговоре с порталом GamesIndustry.biz, ее предшественнице PS4 понадобилось на месяц больше, чтобы добиться такого же результата.

Также Райан добавил, что вовлеченность игроков на PS5 вдвое выше, чем на PS4.

Тем не менее он выделил успешный запуск PS5 в Китае, который был «таким же энергичным, как и на Западе».

Сейчас главная задача для PlayStation — нарастить запасы PS5, чтобы удовлетворить спрос на консоль во всех странах.

Также Лейден сомневается в эффективности модели Xbox Game Pass и считает, что гейминг находится на пороге новой эпохи.

Издание поговорило с ветераном игровой индустрии на фоне его назначения в Streamline Media Group в качестве советника по развитию бизнеса и игрового направления.

«Сложно выпускать игру с бюджетом в $120 млн в подписочном сервисе, взимая с пользователя $9,99 в месяц.

«Это вредит и индустрии, и фанатам.

По его словам, «в индустрии назрела революция».

Котик заявил, что в Activision Blizzard нет места дискриминации, домогательствам и неравенству.

Отметим, что в своем обращении гендиректор Activision Blizzard прокомментировал далеко не все требования сотрудников.

Однако мы движемся дальше, зная, что разделяем те же ценности, что и наше комьюнити.

Utterly botching the initial public response and having to backpedal furiously, as Activision Blizzard has done in the past few days, is the norm.

Who needs a properly trained and functional HR department, running around sticking their noses into things and ruining everyone's fun?

It's vital that people find the guts to stand up to abusers, even when they're friends -- especially when they're friends -- but that too isn't enough.

HR offices and training and procedures and the enforcement of standards of workplace professionalism are boring.

Nobody got into the games industry with dreams of spending their days drawing up codes of conduct for the workplace, I know.

A man from Robertson County, Tennessee was playing a video game on Saturday night during a storm when a nearby lightning strike resulted in him being shocked straight up the wire of his controller.

Perhaps a diamond in the rough or two can be found below?

Epic announced today that Ariana Grande is the next big musician who will be teleporting into the virtual world of Fortnite in a series of concerts starting next week.

The rift tour event playlists will go live 30 mins before each performance.

Here’s how Epic describes the whole thing:“From August 6-8, take a musical journey into magical new realities where Fortnite and Ariana Grande collide.

As with previous events, players who join will be able to earn exclusive bits of gear and cosmetics for watching and completing quests.

This Ariana Grande Rift Tour had been rumored for weeks now, with some leaks popping up over the last few days that seemingly confirmed the news.

Halo Infinite’s first big multiplayer technical preview started this weekend and the main star are the bots.

I wondered how much of a fight they would put up against teams of human players.

Now, after being chased, beaten and tricked by these bots I’m happy to report they are all assholes.

What matters is that I’m often fighting and dying to bots and feeling the same way I felt when playing against real human players.

Might we see bots winning most matches by the end of this first beta?

Since then, many people (myself included) have continued to play GTA Online and after nearly a decade of hanging out in the same virtual world, I and others have mostly memorized the map.

That’s not super useful outside of GTA Online, until now!

I figured I knew the GTA Online map well after all these years, but actually seeing how well my brain has stored all this information was a bit scary.

But if you, like me, don’t travel much and instead spend many hours hanging out in the virutal streets of GTA Online, I’d recommend giving GTA GeoGuesser a try.

Bungie and Ubisoft recently filed a lawsuit against the people who it claims are running Ring-1, a website that makes and sells cheats for various games like Destiny 2, PUBG, and Rainbow Six Siege.

Bungie and Ubisoft plan to amend the suit when and if the companies can track down the real identities of these individuals.

Also mentioned in the lawsuit is the claimed unauthorized use of various copyrighted images and trademarked logos on the Ring-1 website.

This isn’t the first time Bungie or Ubisoft have targeted cheat sellers and makers.

Back in October of last year, Bungie shut down a Destiny cheat site with a cease and desist.

The Resident Evil series is arguably the most successful and popular video game horror franchise of all time.

It’s spawned more movies, spin-offs, and comics than I can count, and has easily cemented itself in mainstream pop culture as “those zombie games with dogs.” But not all Resident Evil games are amazing.

So the time has come to grab our shotguns, green herbs, and typewriter ink ribbons and rank all of the games in the main series from worst to best.

So while I love the remake of Resident Evil 2, I won’t be raving about it here today.

With that all out of the way, let’s begin with the worst mainline Resident Evil game.

So, I figured it would be fun to cover Gengar this week and who knows, maybe some folks looking for Pokemon Unite-related Gengar content will stop by and read this.

However, after reading about Gengar, I am terrified to enter any room without turning on all the lights.

What I didn’t know is that, according to one Pokedex entry found on Bulbapedia, Gengar is the ghost of a dead human.

I wonder how people in the Pokemon universe handle the knowledge that there is an afterlife and that the dead live on in some form?

(No, I’m not just saying this to try and make Gengar less angry with me and possibly spare my life in the process.

While many have suffered due to the pervasive sexism in the industry, women are more than just victims.

And so today, we’re choosing to spotlight the accomplishments of kickass women in the games industry.

I created the first baseline of game industry specific training and first onboarding processes and documentation for thousands of game industry employees at several companies.

AdvertisementAnother bone of contention with my haters is whenever I write about Black people doing things in video games.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a blog about Linda Guillory, a Black woman from Texas who earned two Guinness World Records for her collection of vintage handheld gaming machines.

The headline read, “Black Woman Gets Two World Records For Her Vast Vintage Gaming Collection” and folks yet again blew the fuck up over something that should have been so benign.

I was able to end my final day at Kotaku writing about the things that have come to represent my time here.

Take heart that I will still be in games journalism, still being horny on main and writing about Black people…

Mobius Games is very excited to finally talk about our first (and only) expansion to Outer Wilds!

We designed the expansion as if it was always lurking within the world of Outer Wilds but hadn’t been discovered yet.

As a relatively small and un-established studio we needed a project to immediately follow Outer Wilds that wasn’t too big or crazy, while still allowing us to grow as developers and hopefully deliver something that would appeal to fans of Outer Wilds.

Internally we had been tossing around various, more conventional, ideas for Outer Wilds DLC.

Making Outer Wilds content is an involved process, and it wasn’t long before the DLC became an expansion.

After a long period of intense work with the team, we are delighted to finally be able to show more about our game Stray with this just-released gameplay trailer.

It tells the story of a cat who accidentally falls into a weird, mysterious city and his journey to return to his family.

Their journey will not be a calm river, though — action and fast-paced sequences are a strong component of Stray, too.

Hopefully this gives you a more detailed and in-depth look at the world of Stray, but we still have a lot more to show!

The whole team is working full speed to deliver the most polished experience possible, and we look forward to seeing players explore our world early next year.

A Memoir Blue is an atmospheric journey featuring a champion swimmer named Miriam who, on the day of her greatest achievement, begins to reflect on long forgotten memories.

Another interesting aspect of A Memoir Blue is that its narrative is told entirely without words.

Unlike other popular narrative games, A Memoir Blue uses expressive character animations and songs as a standin for dialogue.

A Memoir Blue is our studio’s first project.

I hope you enjoy sinking into Miriam’s uncovered past by letting go of the ordinary and immersing yourself into a world of deep blue.

The team at Lucid has been hard at work on a new patch for Destruction AllStars, available today, which brings various improvements to the game.

We feel one of the possible causes is latency during a match of Destruction AllStars.

More slamming and rammingAnother point of feedback was around the minute-to-minute gameplay of Destruction AllStars.

Whilst we want to maintain a skill ceiling in Destruction AllStars, we agree that these moments were occurring a bit too often.

We feel that all of these changes represent a step forward in the gameplay experience of Destruction AllStars.

In Life is Strange: True Colors, Alex’s psychic power of Empathy is brought to life through unique gameplay and cinematic experiences.

Emotions are expressed by auras around other characters, which can explode into novas of light and color when the emotion becomes overwhelming.

As a dev team, we wrestled with the question of how to capture something as abstract as emotions.

We found ourselves pushing the conventions of traditional Life is Strange storytelling, employing the tangible audio-visual representation of emotive sensations to drive the same response in the player that Alex herself feels each time.

Much more challenging for Alex, and the crux of her journey in Life is Strange: True …

Every enemy in Tribes of Midgard has their own special set of attacks and skills.

It’s kind of like how you can Viking-kick down a tree, but more “beastly.”As you explore Midgard, you’ll see notifications pop up that tell you about all the new biomes and environments you’re entering.

While we can’t explain every enemy you’ll face in Tribes of Midgard, we wanted to break down some of them that you should approach with caution.

The Big Bad Wolf: Fenrir!

Tribes of Midgard lands on PS4 and PS5 tomorrow.

Winds & Leaves will be available tomorrow on PS VR, and we thought it’d be a great time to share some tips to help you get started before you jump on the Gardener’s stilts.

If you have not yet heard of it, Winds & Leaves is a flora-builder game where you grow forests with your own two hands to restore life in a barren world.

Tip #5 – Make the Garden your ownAt the center of the world of Winds & Leaves lies the Garden, a safe haven protected from the harsh winds of the Steppe.

Winds & Leaves can be traversed at your own pace.

Making Winds & Leaves come true has been quite a journey for us all at Trebuchet, and we are thrilled to finally let players experience it!

Revealed today during EA Play Live, welcome to Grid Legends, launching in 2022 on PS5 and PS4.

Grid Legends delivers on these key features – and then some.

The Grid series has always excelled in providing a diverse combination of real and unique fictional locations to compete at, and Grid Legends is no different.

Grid Legends Race CreatorThe possible combinations of car, class, and circuit for a Grid Legends event are clearly vast – but the options don’t stop there.

Grid Legends launches 2022All this only scratches the surface of what Grid Legends will deliver next year.

Rise from the ashes and dive deep undercover with six brand-new missions in I Expect You To Die 2: The Spy and The Liar!

Veteran agents who completed the first I Expect You To Die game will feel right at home with the sequel, as many of your favorite elements return.

I Expect You To Die 2 features a cohesive, enthralling and original storyline through all of your missions for a truly complete experience from beginning to end.

We’ve got a briefcase full of even more secrets to share as we get closer to the game’s official launch… on August 24, 2021!

In the meantime, Agents who pre-order the game will get a 10% discount as a special reward from HQ.

Rumors that Eric Baptizat—a 16-year Ubisoft veteran who left the company to join EA Motive earlier this year—was working on the Dead Space remake have been confirmed.

It's right there on Baptizat's LinkedIn profile: "game director on Dead Space".

Previously, Baptizat was game director on Assassin's Creed Valhalla and a lead game designer on Black Flag, Unity, and Origins.

Baptizat's other lead designer credits include Shaun White Skateboarding and Surf's Up, but I don't expect Dead Space to suddenly involve kickflips or hanging 10 in addition to lasering up space monsters.

Several ex-BioWare staff are confirmed to be working on Dead Space as well.

On an average day, about a dozen new games are released on Steam.

If nothing catches your fancy this week, we've gathered the best PC games you can play right now and a running list of the 2021 games that are launching this year.

Horror Tales: The Wine looks really gorgeous, and in among the exploration and scares you'll also need to solve puzzles and riddles.

Eldest SoulsSteam‌ ‌page‌ ‌Release:‌ July 30Developer:‌ Fallen Flag Studio‌$17 ‌|‌ ‌£14.44 |‌ ‌AU$24.60You guessed right: Eldest Souls is heavily indebted to the Dark Souls series, though it takes a different form.

Not the most original concept in the world, but it looks beautiful and the combat looks tight.

Back then, pulp fiction was an industry, churning out juicy serial fiction in rough wood-pulp paper magazines sold on street corners and through subscriptions.

Saraintaris and Ruppel also started doing game jams, which led to LCB Game Studio as an extension of their literary work.

(Image credit: LCB Game Studio)...we are limited by using the ZX Spectrum palette Nico SaraintarisAnd so, for Adventure Jam 2021, Shark Riders was born.

(Image credit: LCB Game Studio)But their first proper pixel-pulp is going to be Red Dragon Down, described asBlack Hawk Down with dragons" on the game's itch.io page.

If pixel-pulps want to become the pulp fiction of visual novels, I'm all for it.

Ring-1 sell cheats via subscription.

For 30 euros, a week a cheater gets Destiny 2 hacks including a PvP aimbot, infinite ammo, ESP, and a HWID spoofer.

Similar packages are available for Rust, Apex, Legends, Call of Duty, Escape from Tarkov, Hunt Showdown, Dead by Daylight, PUBG, and more.

On July 23, Bungie and Ubisoft filed a lawsuit against Ring-1 in the California state district, naming several individuals believed to be behind Ring-1 with usernames like Krypto, Overpowered, and Berserker.

This isn't the first time two videogame companies have teamed up to take cheat-sellers to court.

The leaks seemed to guarantee it, but now we've got confirmation that Ariana Grande will kick off Fortnite's Rift Tour from August 6-8.

As Fortnite has done in the past, the virtual performance will have five showings to accommodate players in various time zones.

Also, everyone who takes part in the Rift Tour will get a Cuddly Cloudcruiser commemorative umbrella:(Image credit: Fortnite)As for Grande's performance itself, Epic obviously wants to keep a lid on the details, but don't expect a conventional 'performer-on-a-stage' set up.

"Before Ariana’s arrival, the Rift Tour kicks off with Fortnite-themed experiences—pairing popular tracks with moments based on elements from the game."

Welcome to This Week in PC Gaming, a show where we take a look at the new games, updates, events, and more coming at you over the next week, every week.

Expect a new episode every Sunday morning and expect it to tell you something you didn't know or already forgot about.

This week we look at a trio of awesome indie games full of gore and empathy.

A brand new legend emerges in Season 10 of Apex Legends, and EVO 2021 Online kicks later this week, where you can watch digital black belts duke it out from the safety of your computer screen.

However, we soon received feedback from players all over the world, who told us that the sage icon made them uncomfortable or fearful."

Anyway, the original design of the Sage's icon inspired a thread on the Japanese FF14 forum that's currently 24 pages long.

"The design concept is unchanged," Yoshida wrote, "with the icon being based on the four nouliths which form the sage's armament.

The holes in the original design were added for detail, but they ended up appearing as a cluster.

To address the problem, the new icon reduces the holes while accentuating the design concept.

That's especially true of student sharehouses, full of overactive imagination and time to talk about nothing.

It's set in a London flat and you play two students at the end of their degrees, about to move out and go separate ways—at least, for now.

At one point you play a game within a game called Among the Leaves.

I was left wishing for more of the weirdness, since that's what I like stroking my chin and having theories about.

No Longer Home is out now on Steam, GOG, itch.io, and the Epic Games Store.

What's a game you like to play while doing or watching something else?

So a game has to be seriously mindless for me to be able to play it even when just listening to a podcast, let alone watching TV.

I'm completely incapable of watching a video or listening to a podcast while gaming, even when I'm doing the most mundane activities.

It's strictly one thing at a time for me: I don't have a television anywhere near my PC because if the TV is on, I'm watching it, and if I'm watching TV then I'm not using the PC.

I often play turn based games in the early evening so that I can play something and still be present with the family.

Blizzard employees protest in 2021 after it was accused of fostering a toxic, sexist workplace.

This amounted to an estimated 800 people across Activision, Blizzard, and King losing their jobs.

Employees staged a walk-out in protest of the decision while outraged players organized boycotts across all of Blizzard's games.

Townsend would serve as Activision Blizzard's chief compliance officer, working to ensure its games didn't run afoul of government regulators in foreign countries.

A few weeks later, Activision Blizzard also appointed Brian Bulatao, a former Trump administrator, as chief administration officer.

The new ADATA XPG Gammix S50 Lite, sampled here in 2TB configuration and M.2 2280 format, falls into the latter category.

From 2010 to 2014 Richard Cobbett wrote Crapshoot, a column about rolling the dice to bring random obscure games back into the light.

This week, a Russian adventure that's not as porny as it sounds, but whose surrealism might make you gag in a very different way...

It's a rare example of a Russian adventure that got an international release, but only technically.

There doesn't even seem to be any actual nudity in the English version, though apparently there is some in the original Russian one.

There are three combinations that work: 3 bras and 5 panties, 4 bras and 3 panties, or 5 bras and 1 panty."

It's a big deal for Halo that Halo Infinite's multiplayer includes bots.

I expected all of this going into Infinite's technical test, but I didn't expect the bot names to make me laugh out loud.

I didn't really consider the fact that Infinite's bots would even have names, but it makes sense in hindsight.

The scoreboard would be pretty dull with human names on one side and 'Bot 1' 'Bot 2' 'Bot 3' 'Bot 4' on the other.

Still, these names: they're great!

If you have played any RPG games in the past then you are probably familiar with the terms tank, support and damage carry.

Those are the roles that your ships will assume in Infinite Lagrange as well.

Now if you want to get something special as your damage carry, this is the part where the United Tech files come into play.

Keep in mind that these bought ships cannot gain exp so at some point Winged Hussar will out damage it.

The developers of Synth Riders shared the first look at gameplay for its PlayStation VR release.

The game releases August 10 on PSVR after coming to PC VR in 2018 and launching on Oculus Quest in 2019.

Check out the first look at PSVR gameplay here with a look at a song without modifiers, Muse’s Algorithm track and then a look at Spin Mode + Prismatic notes.

The design of PS Move controllers makes playing Synth Riders comfortable and natural, and we have worked with some of our top players to…

Ragnarock from France-based WanadevStudio combines a rocking Viking-metal song library with clever game mechanics for an incredible take on the rhythm genre in VR.

The idea is you’re on a Viking ship and you’re pounding on four drums in front of you with two to the side that activate your boost.

There’s a ship full of Vikings seated in front you and watching your performance, and they’re depending on you to drive their rhythm faster.

An FAQ for the game says there’s beta support for “custom songs” on both PC and Quest.

Ragnarock is on App Lab on Oculus Quest and it is out of early access on Steam.

Moss: Book II, a direct sequel to the lauded original, was finally announced earlier this month.

And it hopes to answer what was perhaps the original game’s biggest problem: it was too short!

If it wasn’t clear already, Book II will pick up right where the original game left off.

Polyarc has since grown to 32 people, and this time around there’s 15 people working full-time directly on Moss: Book II, he said.

But Moss: Book II won’t just be more of the same, Stiksma said.

VR Education, the virtual reality software firm behind ENGAGE, has reported a significant uptick in revenue generated by the social VR platform so far this year, with revenue from Engage in 2021 nearly doubling over the same period last year.

But VR Education is a fairly unique case in the industry.

In H1 2021, Engage accounted for 72% of its overall revenue stream, an increase of 39% over the year prior.

With a global pandemic bottlenecking most in-person business though online communication platforms, it seems VR Education has managed to capitalize.

VR Education now counts more than 100 commercial customers using its Engage platform, including recent additions Abbott Laboratories, KPMG, M…

More in our Arcsmith review.

If you know developer Bithell Games well then you probably know what to expect here.

Arcsmith Review – The Facts What is it?

: A VR puzzle game in which you make machinery by piecing together parts, set to the backdrop of a sci-fi story.

What did you make of our Arcsmith review?

Drums Rock combines VR drumming, heavy rock music and demon-destroying action on Oculus Quest in late 2021.

As anyone with a VR headset will know, there’s no shortage of rhythm games available on the platform.

However, recently we’ve seen a particular uptick in drumming rhythm games such as Smash!

Drums and Ragnarock, to which Drums Rock will be the latest addition.

Drums Rock will release later this year for Oculus Quest.

Arcsmith, the new VR puzzler from Thomas Was Alone developer Bithell Games, is now available on Oculus Quest.

The game was announced a month ago, and will blend storytelling and puzzles together in a sci-fi setting.

From the sound of it, the puzzles in Arcsmith won’t just have one solution.

In terms of storytelling, a lot of effort was put into the environments and animation as a form of immersive storytelling.

Arcsmith is available now for Oculus Quest for $24.99.

There’s a slightly better chance you can now play Microsoft Flight Simulator in VR with your current PC specs.

When it was first announced the team confirmed that the patch would also enable benefits for PC VR users.

To me, it still felt like this was a few steps behind where this support needs to be to make Flight Simulator and easy recommendation for PC VR users with moderate gaming rigs.

But going beyond even that, I’m still waiting for Flight Sim to become a more seamless VR experience.

The game, as a whole, is still practically pristine and an incredible technical accomplishment, but I’m hoping Asobo is in it for the long haul when it comes to improving VR support.

Fracked and Phantom: Covert Ops developer nDreams is opening a second VR studio dedicated to making “live games for VR.”The new studio, named nDreams Orbital, is set to operate remotely (the original nDreams team is based in Farnborough, UK), and will be lead by Chris White.

White previously worked on games like The Sims Social at EA and most recently joined VR fitness company, FitXR.

All of nDreams’ VR games to date have been single-player adventures of some sort, be it the upcoming PSVR exclusive FPS, Fracked, or even older titles like The Assembly.

Live games will be a new avenue for the company, suggesting it’s looking at titles that consistently offer new and fresh content, be it diffe…

nDreams, the studio behind Phantom: Covert Ops (2020) and the upcoming PSVR exclusive Fracked, announced today it’s opening a second VR development studio called nDreams Studio Orbital, which will focus on creating games as a service for VR.

nDreams Studio Orbital will be headed by Chris White, who previously worked as a senior product manager at FitXR, the team behind the eponymous subscription-based VR fitness app.

White has also worked in senior positions at Space Ape Games, Glu Mobile, and Electronic Arts.

The studio has since released a host of VR titles targeting all major platforms including Bloody Zombies, Shooty Fruity, The Assembly, and meditation app Perfect.

By now it can be said that Varjo is making the world’s most high-end VR headsets, and not just because they’re slapping on a hefty price-tag.

With a core premise of ‘retina resolution’ that really delivers, Varjo’s headsets keep getting better even as they’re getting cheaper.

Their visual performance offers an early glimpse of what mainstream VR headsets are unlikely to deliver for years to come.

We’ve been following Varjo since even before the launch of their first VR headset.

In practice, donning the headset reveals a higher fidelity view than I’ve seen in any other VR headset to date.

You can pair Valve’s upcoming Steam Deck handheld console with an Oculus Quest, Gabe Newell has confirmed.

As we covered when the device was announced this month, Valve’s open PC handheld Steam Deck has all the connectivity for VR but not the performance.

So if you want to install the Epic Games Store on here, if you want to run an Oculus Quest on it… Those are all great.

So you could join your Quest to your Steam Deck, either through USB or AirLink and have a portable PC VR experience.

You can read more about the Steam Deck and it’s potential VR connectivity options here.

In a recent s&box development update, the studio says it has validated VR rendering for the game as a “first step” toward full support.

The Garry’s Mod development studio, Facepunch, is also behind a little-known game called Rust (2018), which has become a phenomenon in its own right.

Creator Garry Newman has been pondering a sequel to Garry’s Mod since at least as far back as 2015.

The Facepunch team says its goal is to “create a worthy Garry’s Mod sequel.”In the latest s&box development update released earlier this month, developer Sam Pavlovic says he worked to ensure that the game’s rendering would handle VR correctly.

Pavlovic admits that proper rendering for VR is only the first step …
