История People Can Fly и Painkiller прежде всего связана с Адрианом Хмеляжем, который за свою жизнь успел создать и покинуть целых две студии, а сейчас работает в третьей.

В Польше того времени редко встречались лицензии, да и институт авторского права был не сильно развит, так что ничто не мешало таким «продавцам».

Ещё в год выхода Painkiller полюбилась и критикам, и игрокам.

Она не нагружала сложным сюжетом, не строила целую вселенную и не выдавала разнообразных заданий.

Так что вскоре студия Хмеляжа выпустила дополнение Battle out of Hell, которое стало последним вкладом поляков в Painkiller.

Однако займёт в студии «стратегическую должность».

Большой апдейт с функциями, которые чаще всего просили игроки.

Компания готовит ещё одно крупное обновление для консоли в 2021 году, для теста которого ей нужна помощь.

Соглашение подписали Xiaomi, Huawei, Honor, Vivo и OPPO.

Енот Говард и его расследование — в нуарном рассказе, выходящем за рамки жанра.

Такого результата кооперативная аркада от Hazelight Studios достигла за 2,5 месяца.

Не очень хороший «соулслайк» с интересными идеями.

Это первая игра на консоли Sony, которая работает по обратной совместимости с такой кадровой частотой.

За это дизайнеры Eidos и зацепились — сделали ему соответствующую причёску и надели на него куртку со значками.

В случае с Драксом особое внимание уделили рисункам на его теле — они должны рассказывать о его прошлом, о сражениях и утратах.

То, что протагонистом был выбран Квилл, повлияло и на музыкальное сопровождение — здесь очень много лицензированной музыки 80-х годов:Питер — дитя 80-х.

В показанном ролике игрок выбрал второй вариант, и в углу появилась красная надпись: «Енот в бешенстве из-за вашего решения».

К примеру, после каждой перестрелки персонаж получал опыт и зарабатывал новые уровни, но для чего это надо и что это открывает — непонятно.

Deconstructeam — это студия, которая выпустила пока только два крупных проекта, но уже снискала популярность у определённого контингента игроков. И пока те ждали next big hit (ха-ха, big hit от троицы инди-разработчиков!) компании, та решила побаловать их сборником из десяти своих небольших игр, упакованных в красивую обёртку. Только ли за обёртку разработчики предлагают платить? Будет ли эта коллекция интересна тем, кто с творчеством студии не знаком? При чём тут «Любовь, смерть и роботы»?

К сожалению или к счастью, в Battlefield 2042 не будет сюжетной кампании в привычном смысле.

Разработчики говорят, что этот режим был создан специально для давних фанатов Battlefield и он обязательно им понравится.

О картахНа PC и на консолях нынешнего поколения в матчах будут участвовать по 128 игроков.

Разработчики рассказали об одном случае во время тестирования — игрок пытался победить снайпера, но не мог нормально прицелиться под огнём.

Также впервые в серии в Battlefield 2042 введут боевые пропуска, уникальные для каждого сезона.

Помимо традиционных для жанра сражений, прокачки (а в случае покемонов — эволюции) и командной игры, в Unite, похоже, будет какой-то спортивный элемент. Разработчики обещают кроссплей и возможность переносить прогресс между всеми платформами.

The Razer Kraken is the gaming company's staple headset, and has seen constant revision over the years - including a new version in 2019.

It's become a solid entry-level option, retailing for around £55, but today the Kraken has reached new depths thanks to a 50% off coupon at Currys PC World in the UK.

Now you can pick up this multi-platform headset for just £27.50 with code SAVE50.

The Kraken is a pretty straightforward headset, with a wired 3.5mm connection that allows it to connect to pretty much any PC, console or mobile device on the planet.

The build quality, the comfort and the sound quality are all appreciably above other budget headsets, so take advantage of this 50% off SAVE50 co…

I spent much of my time with JRPG Tales Of Arise veering from a state of serene calm to one of total confusion.

That feeling of not really knowing what you're doing, but rather enjoying whatever it is that you are, in fact, doing.

In my half hour hands-on with Tales Of Arise, I explored a very small slice of what seemed like a vast JRPG.

I could still have fun, win fights, and look cool without really knowing what on earth was happening on screen.

Combine these parts together, and fights in Tales Of Arise are a wonderfully fluid cacophony of noise, numbers, and knuckle-dusting.

That reminded me EA made a Simlish version of Steal My Sunshine for The Sims 4's Seasons expansion, and now I've fallen down a terrible hole of breaking my brain with incomprehensible versions of familiar summer jams.

The Simlish translation of "Girl I think my butt gettin' big" in Nelly's Hot In Herre is killing me.

Sims talking Simlish is fine, just baby talk that washes over my ears, but putting the language to songs I know well is full brainmurder.

If EA ever make a punk expansion, maybe they'll do a Simlish Guns Of Brixton.

EA recently announced the next Sims 4 expansion, the quaint Cottage Living, and I pray this farmfest includes a Simlish cover of The Wurzels' Combine Harvester.

As Jurassic World Evolution 2's director Rich Newbold revealed during the PC Gaming Show and Future Games Show, the game will be set after the events of the latest film, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

Sure, there's an innate pleasure to watching a Jurassic Park moment and anticipating the exact moment that everything will go tits-up.

"No matter how competently you managed your Jurassic World (Evolution), the game was constantly trying to start a piss carnival."

Most welcome would be a move from JWE's RTS-style plonk & play base building, to the freeform complexity of the Planet Coaster / Planet Zoo construction model.

Ninja Theory’s sequel to Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice didn’t make an appearance at Microsoft’s Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase at E3 2021 for what sounds like a very good reason: The game, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, appears to still be quite early in development, based on a new update from the developer.

Tameem Antoniades, “chief creative ninja” at Ninja Theory, said in a development update Thursday that the Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 team is currently “building a good chunky slice of the game before we then move into full production to build out the rest.”Antoniades said that Ninja Theory “didn’t want to do a straight sequel — we wanted to do something extra special, and so we’re making ou…

Microsoft is bringing back its Xbox Design Lab with a new controller option for the Xbox Series X controller.

The Xbox Design Lab closed in October ahead of the Xbox Series X release.

Open once again on Thursday, players can now customize the new Xbox Wireless Controller with 18 different color options.

Most of the external parts of an Xbox controller are customizable in the Xbox Design Lab.

The updated store encompasses the new Xbox Wireless Controller, which is compatible with Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. It’s also adding new colors, like bright options in red, blue, and yellow-green.

Netflix’s Sweet Tooth is a surprising departure from its source material, the comic series written and drawn by Jeff Lemire.

Sweet Tooth has a vastly different tone in its TV incarnation.

2009, Sweet Tooth was Lemire’s way of making his mark on a sci-fi subgenre that he’d eagerly devoured while growing up.

The first episode of Sweet Tooth was filmed in 2019, with the crew only able to return to New Zealand to continue filming in fall of 2020.

And so like its traveling protagonists, the Sweet Tooth TV series strives to discover something new in an environment already well-scavenged.

The Demon Slayer movie will soon be available to stream, but only through Funimation.

The company announced on Thursday that Demon Slayer: Mugen Train will be available to stream on its website or various apps starting on June 22.

Funimation will have both the dubbed and subbed versions of Demon Slayer: Mugen Train.

Funimation has a free ad-supported option, but it’s unclear if the Demon Slayer movie will be available for users with free accounts.

Demon Slayer: Mugen Train picks up the story of Demon Slayer shortly after the first season ends, and adapts an entire arc from the original manga.

In the opening minutes of Edgar Wright’s documentary The Sparks Brothers, a who’s-who of musicians and entertainers talk about why they love Sparks, a long-running art-rock band led by brothers Ron and Russell Mael.

The Sparks Brothers should appeal to those different kinds of Sparks fans — as well as to folks like Schwartzman, who’d rather not know how they pulled off their trick.

In other words, while Sparks fans certainly shouldn’t miss The Sparks Brothers, they likely won’t learn much they don’t already know.

But a subtle narrative flow develops over the course of The Sparks Brothers, thanks to the Maels’ admirable doggedness.

And it’s a feeling The Sparks Brothers replicates, over and …

A new update in Destiny 2 suggests that Savathun, the titular Witch Queen in the game’s upcoming expansion and sister to Oryx, has taken human form in the Last City.

And because of her title, the Witch Queen, fans know she’s bound to be the subject of Destiny 2’s next expansion, coming early 2022.

But perhaps more interestingly, it lends credibility to a popular fan theory: that the Guardian Osiris is actually Savathun in disguise.

But what we do know is that the Witch Queen is closer than ever before, and being more brash than she has been over the past few years.

Most importantly, this new evidence — alongside a potential Old Chicago tease for Witch Queen — is really starting to hype fans…

Madden NFL 22 is launching with a lot of new features, including new layers to the Franchise mode that should deepen an experience hardcore fans have felt was neglected.

But it will not, for the 30th consecutive year, include the fair catch kick.

Here’s a look at a fair catch kick attempted in the NFL playoffs, on New Year’s Day 1989, with John Madden himself on the call.

A close analog of the fair catch kick is Australian rules football’s electrifying after-the-siren goal.

Long-distance kicks in Madden NFL, particularly at lower difficulty levels, are easier than in real life, which is probably another reason why the fair catch kick isn’t in the game.

Microsoft Flight Simulator’s virtual world is getting a gorgeous new update, making the game’s Nordic region more beautiful than ever.

World Update 5: Nordics for Asobo Studio’s flight sim gives some love and attention to landmarks and airports across Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden.

Not shown: how much I’d really like to visit any of those places in real life right now.

Local airports — Denmark’s Bornholm, Iceland’s Ísafjörður, Sweden’s Stockholm Arlanda, Norway’s Svalbard, and Finland’s Vaasa — have all been “carefully replicated by hand for maximum realism,” Asobo Studio said in a post on the Microsoft Flight Simulator website, which names every new point of interest.

In the first level of OlliOlli World, I fly down a boardwalk on my skateboard.

In OlliOlli World, you glide effortlessly along tracks, and time jumps and tricks to pick up speed for more jumps and tricks.

OlliOlli World was built with the idea that more players should be able to enjoy the game in its entirety.

Generous and approachable, OlliOlli World feels like I’m being taken in and taught something new by friendly neighborhood kids.

“We set out to create a game and a world that hopefully puts a smile on peoples faces!”These elements, combined with the sense of flying through the world untethered, make OlliOlli World feel like a neat celebration of returning to the outside world again.

Pixar’s newest movie is a fantasy about sea monsters coming onto land, but it’s rooted in authentic childhood memories.

His burgeoning interest in the human world has been squashed by overprotective parents.

In Luca, the magic is in the tiny details that flesh out the human world.

Instead, Luca plays with the idea that anyone can have different emotionally satisfying relationships with different people, while acknowledging how hard that can be to accept.

Luca isn’t trying to make people cry, the way some Pixar movies now feel obligated to do, but it still rings as a bittersweet experience.

Valorant’s newest Agent is a robot named KAY/O with the power to suppress his enemies’ abilities.

The new Agent will be part of Valorant’s Episode 3 update, which should also include a fairly large patch for the game.

One of KAY/O’s abilities allows him to throw a special knife that prevents enemies in a small area from using their abilities — an effect called suppressed.

KAY/O’s Ultimate also gives him a Combat Stim when he uses it, and if he dies during the Ultimate he’ll have the chance to be revived by a teammate.

The flash grenade explodes after a short fuse, blinding anyone in the line of sight.

Pokémon Unite, a multiplayer online battle arena-style game, is coming this summer, The Pokémon Company announced Thursday.

The Pokémon Company also debuted a new cinematic trailer for Pokémon Unite on Thursday.

Pokémon Unite will be a free-to-play game.

Players will form teams of five and compete to score more points than their opposing team.

There can be different numbers of team members, different match lengths, and even different Legendary Pokémon that appear.

Sea of Thieves' next major free update is packing in one hell of a crossover, bringing the world of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean into Rare's swashbuckling multiplayer adventure.

And if the arrival of Captain Jack Sparrow wasn't enough to be excited about, it's also finally giving the formidable kraken a face - which makes an appearance in a brand-new trailer.

The centrepiece of Sea of Thieves' Pirates of the Caribbean crossover - officially known as A Pirate's Life - takes the form of a brand-new cinematic story campaign.

Microsoft has confirmed the final two launch civilisations for Age of Empires 4.

Microsoft studio World's Edge announced the Holy Roman Empire, and Rus as the final two of eight launch civilisations in the upcoming real-time strategy game.

The other six are the English, Mongols, Chinese, Delhi Sultanate, Abbasid Dynasty and the French.

Meanwhile, Age of Empires 4 launches with four campaigns, and World's Edge announced the final two: Rise of Moscow and the Mongol Empire.

A beta is coming soon, with the launch set for 28th October on PC via Steam Windows 10 and Xbox Game Pass for PC.

I think I might need to replay A Plague Tale: Innocence, but that's okay because it is a brilliant game.

Asobo's medieval horror is getting a makeover for Xbox Series X on 6th July, with 4K resolution, 60 FPS and other visual enhancements.

As ever, if you play on Xbox Series X you'll just get these enhancements on that date with no extra fuss.

Microsoft announced the update tonight, during its E3 Xbox Showcase: Extended event.

Back at the main Xbox Showcase, we got our first look at the beautiful-looking sequel A Plague Tale: Requiem.

Ninja Theory has released a new video for Xbox exclusive Hellblade 2, and provided an update on its development.

In the video, Antoniades says Ninja Theory is currently building "a good chunky slice of the game before we then move into full production to build out the rest".

Ninja Theory announced Hellblade 2 in December 2019 with no release window.

Hellblade 2 isn't the only project in the works at Ninja Theory.

Ninja Theory called time on online brawler Bleeding Edge in January, less than a year after launch.

However, despite delivering a beautiful next-gen showcase in its presentation, the truth is that Forza Horizon 5 is a game set to straddle the generations.

The demo we saw was clearly leveraging the horsepower and storage prowess of the new wave of gaming hardware, but there's going to be an Xbox One version too - set to run at 1080p30 no less, just like prior Forza Horizon titles.

So having to have the game work on Xbox One, Xbox Series consoles, PC, it isn't that different.

John Linneman and Rich Leadbetter share their reactions and excitement about the Forza Horizon 5 reveal.

First of all, we can rule out the approach taken to supporting last-gen systems as seen in Forza Horizon 2, which…

If you were wondering just how popular PUBG is on mobile, the answer is: very, as 17 million people have now signed up for upcoming mobile title PUBG: New State.

PUBG: New State was announced back in February and described as the "only mobile successor to the original PC version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".

It's a futuristic version of PUBG set after the events of the original game, in the year 2051.

Perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised by the enormous amount of interest - in March this year it was revealed that PUBG Mobile had been downloaded one billion times in total.

It also looks like a cowboy-themed PUBG game is in the works, although we've heard significantly lasso 'bout that,…

Well, another Cyberpunk 2077 patch has arrived, and although this one doesn't bring any spectacular gameplay additions it does promise further bug fixes and stability improvements.

Patch 1.23 is now live on all platforms, and sorts out a number of quest-specific bugs and general performance issues.

Of note is the paragraph on stability and performance, which says the patch will provide "numerous crash fixes in animations, UI, scene, physics and gameplay systems".

Pokémon Unite, the upcoming free-to-play MOBA from Tencent's TiMi Studios, launches on Nintendo Switch in July.

Cross-platform play and cross-save are planned, the latter of which requires you use the same Nintendo Account or Pokémon Trainer Club log-in.

Originally announced last summer, Pokémon Unite pits two squads of five players against one another, battling it out in an arena threaded with control points to secure.

Unite is monetised using a seasonal battle pass system, as well as a premium currency named Aeos gems.

We'll update when we have firmer release dates for the game's Switch and mobile versions.

Sony has launched a PlayStation 5 beta program ahead of the console's next major system update, scheduled for later this year.

"Later this year, we're rolling out another major system update packed with new features, and we want your help testing them out!"

You can register your interest for the beta program now on the PlayStation website.

"Our last major PS5 system update in April introduced new features like USB extended storage, cross-generation Share Play, an improved Game Base and other UI enhancements and social features," Sony said.

"We'll share more in the coming weeks about what you can expect in the beta for our next update."

This is the cheapest we've ever seen this wired headset, which works with PC and all recent consoles including Xbox Series X/S, Switch and PS5.

The Razer Kraken was refreshed quite recently, but the headset has been one of Razer's staple models for years.

That's also the case with the Kraken, which has quite a usable microphone that sounds better than many wireless headsets without quite challenging the very best headsets on the market.

All in all, the Kraken is a great gaming headset, especially for PC players, and it's well worth picking up for just £27.50.

If you're on the market for a console or PC headset, then it's well worth a look while it remains discounted!

It sounds like a dystopian nightmare, yet it's fast becoming a reality: Facebook has announced it's going to start testing in-headset VR adverts.

Facebook initially started testing adverts on the Oculus mobile app last month, but it's now taking things a step further by trialling adverts inside the Oculus Quest VR headset.

Facebook seems to be framing the introduction of in-headset adverts as an additional revenue stream for developers, although the company has not detailed how the revenue from these ads will be split.

If Facebook feels the test has been successful, it will provide "more details on when ads may become more broadly available across the Oculus Platform and in the Oculus mobil…

Таким образом у киносценаристов всегда есть возможность реализовать свои работы и получать деньги, даже если некоторые тексты так и не будут воплощены в фильмы.

У него было несколько хороших идей для игр, но он понимал, что не сможет реализовать все из них в условиях современной индустрии.

Даже работая с командой, и если бы мне очень повезло, я бы смог выпустить еще не больше восьми игр за оставшуюся жизнь.

Они смогут придумывать концепты игр, не беспокоясь об их дальнейшей реализации.

По мнению Сумо, у них уже есть достаточно ресурсов, чтобы искать дизайн-документы для новых игр и потратить несколько тысяч долларов на покупку прав.

В финальном третьем чтении Государственной думой России был принят так называемый законопроект о «приземлении».

Как только он вступит в силу все иностранные IT-компании, чья дневная аудитория в России составляет больше 500 тысяч человек, будут обязаны иметь в стране официальное представительство.

К слову, размер аудитории — не единственный критерий, на который будет ориентироваться исполнительная власть, требуя запустить российский офис.

Если есть аудитория в полмиллиона россиян и, например, идет обработка их данных, то в этом случае компания будет обязана обзавестись локальным филиалом.

Скорее всего, закон в первую очередь коснется компаний, которые оперируют основными высокотехнологичными…

Филиппинский стартап Yield Guild Games (YGG) закрыл раунд финансирования серии А. Компания получила $4 млн, которые собирается вложить в развитие модели «играй, чтобы зарабатывать» (play-to-earn) в мобильных блокчейн-играх.

Помимо него в YGG вложились A.Capital Ventures, IDEO CoLab, Mechanism Capital, ParaFi Capital.

Разработчик Скотт Коутон (Scott Cawthon), известный как создатель серии Five Nights at Freddy’s , объявил об уходе из игровой индустрии.

Это произошло вскоре после того, как ему и его беременной жене стали поступать угрозы расправы.

По словам разработчика, игрокам в Five Nights at Freddy’s удалось создать одно из самых «креативных и талантливых» сообществ на планете.

Все это означает, что я ухожу на пенсию Скотт Коутон создатель Five Nights at Freddy’sЧто предшествовало его уходу из индустрии?

Люди называли его гомофобом, сливали личные данные и угрожали прийти в его дом.

Глава Xbox Фил Спенсер (Phil Spencer) рассказал, что совместное шоу с Bethesda на E3 побило рекорды по просмотрам у его компании.

Он поблагодарил за отличную неделю и отметил — в Microsoft не чувствовали столько энергии и воодушевления игроков и команды со времен Xbox 360 .

Но по данным Stream Hatchet, максимальное количество одновременных зрителей презентации Microsoft в Twitch и YouTube составило 2,3 млн.

Среди самых громких показанных в тот день игр отметились Starfield, Battlefield 2042, Atomic Heart, Forza Horizon 5 и S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Несмотря на то, что геймеры тепло приняли шоу, на акциях компании это практически не отразилось.

В играх для VR-гарнитур Oculus появится реклама.

Но важно отметить, что сама Facebook получает свыше 97% доходов именно от рекламы (главным образом на демонстрации креативов в Facebook и Instagram).

Напомним, ровно месяц назад Facebook рассказывала о планах добавить рекламу в мобильное приложение Oculus.

По словам Facebook, пользователи смогут в той же степени контролировать рекламу в своих VR-гарнитурах, что и в принадлежащих ей социальных сетях.

Когда закончится тестирование и реклама появится в других VR-приложениях — пока неизвестно.

Средний дневной онлайнв первом квартале составил 7,4 млн человек — рост на 46% по сравнению с первым кварталом 2019 года.

При этом пиковый дневной онлайн на площадке достиг 26,85 млн пользователей — рост на 60%.

Это даже выше результатов во время прошлогодних локдаунов, что свидетельствует о сохранившимся росте интереса к PC-геймингу.

Последней крупной презентацией на E3 2021 был Nintendo Direct .

Накануне презентации акции Nintendo стоили ¥65 тысяч ($591,7) — Nintendo Direct прошел ранним утром, когда торги на Токийской бирже были закрыты.

Они поднимались дважды: в феврале на фоне первого за долгое время большого Nintendo Direct и в конце мая, вероятно, из-за слуха о том, что японцы представят на E3 продвинутую версию консоли Nintendo Switch.

Some expected announcements were missing from the Nintendo Direct today, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

А журналист Джейсон Шрайер (Jason Schreier) также добавил, что Nintendo — одна из немногих компаний, которая сосредоточилась на релизах для 2021 года.

Выручка консольного рынка и количество геймеров в Китае за 2020, 2021 и 2025 годыОбщая выручка консольного рынка (продажи игр и железа) в прошлом году достигла $1,84 млрд.

При этом продажи железа снизятся с $917,4 млн в 2020-м до $794,5 млн в 2025-м.

Выручка от игр, наоборот, возрастет с $957,4 млн в 2020-м до $1,667 млрд в 2025-м.

Сильно возрастет и аудитория консолей в Китае — если в прошлом году на них играли 13,24 млн человек, то в 2025 году число пользователей составит уже 23,92 млн.

Для сравнения, Niko Partners ранее прогнозировала , что оборот сегмента мобильного и PC-гейминга в Поднебесной составит $55,1 млрд к 2025 году.

Для этого компания представила новую функцию в виде специальных фанатских групп (Fan Groups).

Таким образом компания хочет укрепить отношения между авторами контента и пользователями.

По словам Фиджи Симо (Fidji Simo), главы Facebook App, компания хочет превратить фанатские группы в место, где стримеры и их аудитория смогут собираться вместе для конструктивного общения во время и вне прямых трансляций.

В Facebook появится и новый тип постов — «Ищу игроков» (Looking for Players), с помощью которого можно будет искать себе напарников для игр.

Facebook также улучшила алгоритмы, чтобы повысить находимость фанатских сообществ.

Слухи, что Krafton готовится выйти на фондовую биржу, ходили еще с начала года.

Как уточняет Bloomberg, выход компании на биржу может стать крупнейшим в истории Южной Кореи.

До этого рекорд был за Coupang, которая в марте 2021-го собрала $4,6 млрд в ходе IPO на Нью-Йоркской фондовой бирже.

Стоит отметить, что после выхода Krafton на биржу самым крупным держателем акций останется основатель компании Чанг Бен Гю (Chang Byung-gyu).

Выручка владельцев PUBG за первый квартал этого года составила ₩461 млрд ($413 млн), а чистая прибыль — ₩194 млрд ($174 млн).

Российский рынок мобильных игр за прошлый год заработал почти миллиард долларов.

И в нынешнем году он может заработать еще больше.

Только за январь-март 2021-го российские пользователи потратили на мобильные игры $235 млн.

Чаще всего разработчики презентуют свои игры на летних выставках вроде E3 или собственных мероприятиях.

В своей новой колонке игровой эксперт Саймон Карлесс (Simon Carless) рассказал , как подобные ивенты влияют на рост количества вишлистов, и какой процент из них конвертируется в покупки.

Степень влияния выставок на количество вишлистов можно отследить на примере E3 2021.

По словам Карлесса, кор-аудиторию Steam можно разделить на две основные категории в зависимости от того, как именно они добавляют игры в вишлисты.

Участие в выставках приводит к росту именно «хаотичных» вишлистов, которые куда реже конвертируются в покупки.

Стоит отметить, что весь 2021 год акции японского издателя падали, несмотря на хорошие продажи серии Monster Hunter.

Подавляющее большинство зрителей было крайне недовольны презентацией Capcom на Е3.

Сейчас из 59 тысяч человек около 40,5 тысяч (69,7%) сошлись на том, что Capcom провела ужасную презентацию.

В частности, журналист Джейсон Шрайер (Jason Schreier) согласился с тем, что шоу провалилось, но отметил потенциал The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles.

В Twitter она буквально написала список из четырех игр, которые планировала упомянуть на шоу.

In total, 115 titles can be considered non-violent, representing 33% of all games shown.

Unsurprisingly, the vast majority were from indies, with Wholesome Direct alone accounting for more than half of them: 63 non-violent titles, representing 54% of the week's complete line-up.

In contrast, there were only 15 non-violent games either published by major publishers and platform holders, or featured during their showcase.

Square Enix, Koch Media, Capcom and Gearbox all showcased multiple games, but without a single non-violent title among themXbox was the next highest with 13% of its games classed as non-violent.

Screenshot : Visai GamesThirty-three percent of all the games shown at E3 and Summer Game Fest were non-violent, according to an analysis done by GamesIndustry.biz.

115 games were categorized as non-violent, mostly coming from indie studios and presentations like the appropriately named Wholesome Direct.

Only 15 of those non-violent games, or 4 percent, came from major publishers.

This is a similar criteria to what GamesIndustry.biz used for its analysis of non-violent games in E3 2019.

That list also had a bullet point for sports games, which were considered violent if they were depicting combat sports such as boxing or wrestling.

Nintendo’s viewership stonks were way high for E3 2021.

And though Nintendo’s viewership numbers were high, they could have been higher had the company not killed much of the hype in a last-minute decision.

Mere hours before its presentation, Nintendo tweeted that it was prohibiting co-streams of its presentation on Twitch.

Despite losing the eyes a channel like Twitch Gaming could earn, Nintendo was still able to garner the highest peak viewership of the event.

If you’re familiar with Hades, you might be wondering what’s different about the PlayStation versions.

Tribes of Midgard is an up to 10-player co-op action survival RPG developed by our team at Norsfell and published by our friends at Gearbox Publishing.

The world of Midgard is full of treasures to discover – including enhancements that can have dramatic effects on combat, gathering and more.

For more advanced equipment, you’ll need some of the fancier resources that you won’t find in the average rock – like silver, gemstones, and obsidian.

The Helthings aren’t even the most dangerous enemies you’ll face.

Tribes of Midgard will launch on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on July 27.

At the Xbox Games Showcase Extended on Thursday, Age of Empires 4 developer Emma Bridle dropped the name of the final two civilizations playable in the game at launch: the Holy Roman Empire and the Rus.

Bridle also named the final two singleplayer campaigns in Age 4, The Rise of Moscow and the Mongol Empire.

"We're not going to show them just yet—that'll come closer to launch," Bridle said before breaking the news.

"We see data on all of the Age of Empires games, and naval was one of those things that in Age 2, a lot of people don't use it, but if it wasn't there people would miss it so much," said creative director Adam Isgreen.

Age of Empires 4 has a beta coming before release, which is s…

The first is an early level in the game, the mind of Dr. Caligosto Loboto, the villain of the first game that Raz has befriended in the time since.

Schafer also touched on another early level in the mind of the Psychonauts' director, Hollis Forsythe.

The most exciting location for fans is probably Raz's return to the Whispering Rock summer camp from the first game.

This is apparently where Raz will have to come to terms with his own past, including his family's water curse and its past with the Psychonauts agency.

Charming stories are part of what makes Double Fine games special, so I don't want to be too familiar with Psychonauts 2's plot points going in.

But while E3 was an odd one—the digital format is total chaos —it also primed 2022 to be one of the best years in PC gaming ever.

If all you play are The Big Games, 2022 is still looking stacked.

How do you do better than one of the best and most pure PC games ever made?

It's simple mathPrevious benchmarks for PC gaming's best years were largely defined by the usual slate of dozen or so good to great games coming out from big studios.

PC gaming is going to be so good in 2022 that I think it'll be difficult to recognize in the moment.

If you're looking for Warzone uplink stations, well, to be honest, so am I.

So where can you find an uplink station and a Warzone satellite location so you can grab your loot?

Where to find Warzone uplink stationsUplink Stations are harder to find.

It'll land near the uplink station, but if you miss it plunging loudly from the sky, worry not: it'll be marked on your map.

E3 is over for this year, but Steam has timed the next instalment of its games festival, now called Steam Next Fest, so you can immediately get your hands on demos of a large number of games across every showcase.

A Tale of PaperA side-scrolling adventure where you play a little paper person who uses origami to get around their maker’s workshop.

It's weird but lots of fun, and made our list of the best demos of Steam Next Fest .

Tamarindo's Freaking DinnerA first person horror adventure.

The Big ConAn adventure game heavily influenced by 90s cartoons and general 90s nostalgia.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is the latest looter-shooter from Gearbox Software, but it's not Borderlands 4.

Here's the Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands announcement trailerFeast your eyes on the E3 announcement trailer for Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands.

What is the story of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands?

Which characters will you play as in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands?

(Image credit: Gearbox Software)What’s the setting of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands?

I played a whole bunch of demos as part of Steam Next Fest , but Road 96 is one that stuck out.

What got me is the premise: it's a road trip adventure about hitchhiking across a country.

It looks like money management is going to be a major element in Road 96.

(Image credit: Digixart)The Road 96 demo is quite the adventure, but there are more subtle mechanics at play.

It feels like Road 96 will be full of those decisions, and I couldn't be more excited to play the rest when it comes out later this year.

The excellent chef-em-up Overcooked 2 is free on the Epic Games Store until June 24.

At the time of release PCG called this "a cheerful, non-violent co-op game that’s simple enough for the whole family to enjoy.

It also happens to be one of the most intensely stressful games you’ll ever play."

Essentially, this game's charming co-op wrapper hides an often-brutal co-op romp: chef-on-chef action at the knife's edge of what's possible.

If you've got someone to play with (and even if you don't: Overcooked 2 has online multiplayer) this is well worth picking up.

The E3 trailer for OlliOlli World was narrated by a frog, so I feel comfortable calling it "a bit whimsical."

The build of OlliOlli World I played has both these regions, beachside Sunshine Valley and the forests of Cloverbrook, with room for three more regions on the map.

I meet characters like Chiffon the Skate Wizard and Gnarly Mike, who gives me a skate tip when I get to Cloverbrook, saying I should "avoid the weird blue tall frogs".

While Sunshine Valley is mostly tutorial, by Cloverbrook things step up and I find myself respawning at checkpoints (courtesy of Chiffon the Skate Wizard) a lot.

OlliOlli World is out this winter on Steam.

First teased as nothing but a disembodied head, Riot has finally revealed the latest agent coming to Valorant—a lean, mean, robot killing machine named KAY/O.

Revealed in a new trailer this week, Valorant's latest agent is all about removing your opponents advantages.

His main ability is a throwing knife that sticks to walls and silences enemy abilities in a set radius.

His other two abilities are a flash and frag grenade respectively, with the latter sticking to walls and exploding multiple times on detonation.

The agent hits the live servers with the arrival of Valorant's Episode 3: Act 1 update on June 22nd.

Facebook has made no secret of the fact that ads are coming to its Oculus VR platform in some capacity.

As a part of its v29 software update for Oculus Quest last month, the company said it would begin testing ads for content within the Oculus App, although it wasn’t clear to what extent it would touch games.

Now Facebook says it’s beginning to experiment with ads in paid games too, with popular 1v1 shooter Blaston (2020) from Resolution Games and “a couple other developers” signing onto a beta to test in-game ads.

There will be a way to hide specific ads too, or hide ads from a certain advertiser completely, Facebook says.

That won’t change the number of ads coming your way though, the com…

Onward’s latest big update is here, and it includes huge updates to the game’s audio quality.

The first is overhauled audio – developer Downpour Interactive has gone back to rebalance volumes and make sound from a distance more authentic.

Elsewhere 1.8.8 also introduces a new nighttime version of the game’s shooting range you can play either by yourself or with friends.

Also interesting to note in the known issues section of the changelog is that Downpour has “temporarily removed support for bHaptics vests for Oculus Quest and Quest 2 users”.

In other Onward news, Mark Zuckerberg seemed to accidentally reveal the existence of Onward 2 in a message last month after Facebook acquired Downpour…

Mobile-turned-VR stealth game Republique is soon to drop on PSVR.

Developer Camouflaj recently announced Republique: Anniversary Edition, which will be dropping soon on Switch and PS4, with VR support for the latter platform.

Republique was Camouflaj’s first game, and first released as an episodic series of stealth titles on mobile platforms.

Expect the PSVR edition to be a similar story, though it’s not confirmed if there will be any new content just yet.

Back when it launched in 2018, we said Republique VR offered fun, if simple VR sneaking.

Facebook is beginning to test advertising in virtual reality.

“Though we’re not quite ready to test them yet, we’re also exploring new ad formats that are unique to VR,” Facebook explained.

“We use first-party info from Facebook to target these ads, as well as some VR data.

Facebook says that it does not use the following information to target ads:“We do not use information processed and stored locally on your headset to target ads.

In addition, Facebook executives claim Quest 2 is on track to be the first “mainstream” VR hardware.

ForeVR Bowl just got its first major update, which begins to tackle some key criticisms of the VR bowling game on Oculus Quest.

I jumped in to play three games following the update and throwing definitely felt more managable now.

Elsewhere this update also speeds up levelling so that it’s less of a grind to unlock the game’s many ball themes.

Plus there’s the promised inclusion of smooth locomotion and new ball themes too.

It’s encouraging to see ForeVR Bowl addressing all of this with its latest update.

I Expect You to Die 2: The Spy and The Liar is upcoming sequel to the breakout VR spy-themed adventure game.

We went hands-on with the game’s new demo, which again puts you in hot seat for another round of Bond-flavored puzzling.

If you want to play the demo yourself, you can grab it starting today on Steam as a part of the Steam Next Fest.

There’s around 20 other VR games on offer.

I Expect You to Die 2 is headed to all major VR headsets at some point this summer, which includes Oculus Quest, Oculus Rift, SteamVR headsets and PSVR.

Cubism is one of the best puzzle games available on Quest, with excellent native VR design and an excellent showcase of hand tracking capabilities on Oculus Quest.

We’re sitting down with Cubism’s developer, Thomas Van Bouwel, to talk about developing the game, plans for DLC and more.

Its implementation of hand tracking is absolutely sublime and one of the best showcases of the technology on the system.

Last month, Van Bouwel announced that a series of DLC levels were in the works for Cubism and signs-ups were open for those who wanted to help playtest new levels.

Let us know if you’re looking forward to Cubism DLC and be sure to leave your questions in the chat during the live broadcast.

As a sideline appreciator if not regular player of Beat Saber and Pistol Whip, Against gave me a glimpse of what I was missing out on.

Against is another instantly arresting idea from Stride developer Joy Way, a studio that seems to have a penchant for building fast-fire, wholly engaging prototypes.

It’s Beat Saber by way of Sin City – a gritty neo-noir art style sees you relieving enemies of their limbs and painting the town the wrong sort of red.

Again, an obvious imitation, but Joy Way then borrows from itself with Stride’s wall-running and jumping thrown into the mix.

Not a bad set of first impressions, then, but I wonder just how much capacity Joy Way has to sustain it.
