Ровно 10 лет назад свет увидел один из самых нашумевших хорроров в истории игровой индустрии.

Изданная компанией SEGA Alien: Isolation была очень тепло встречена прессой и десятками тысяч игроков.

С тех пор фанаты ждали продолжения и, по всей видимости, их надежды оправдались!

О разработке сиквела объявил лично креативный директор Эл Хоуп (Al Hope) в своём праздничном обращении по случаю юбилея.

На данный момент новая игра находится на ранних этапах производства, так что разработчик призвал следить за новостями.

Напомним, всего за пару дней до релиза проект отметился крайне хвалебными отзывами как от журналистов, так и от простых игроков.

Несмотря на это, некоторые пользователи начали распространять ложную информацию на странице игры в «Википедии», что в конечном итоге привело к её усиленной модерации.

Вскоре модераторы «Википедии» заметили неладное, вернули страницу к исходному состоянию и запретили редактировать её незарегистрированным участникам сайта.

Тем временем обычные геймеры всё ещё дожидаются полного релиза игры.

Стандартное издание ремейка Silent Hill 2 выйдет уже завтра на ПК (Steam) и PlayStation 5.

Авторы масштабного мода Fallout: Nuevo México для Fallout: New Vegas поделились свежим трейлером своего творения.

Они подчеркнули, что работа пока далека от завершения, так что в ролике показан тот результат, к которому мододелы стремятся.

Fallout: Nuevo México обещает приключение размером с полноценное дополнение, которое посвятят противостоянию местных группировок.

Действие происходит в штате Нью-Мексико спустя пять лет после событий оригинальной Fallout от Interplay.

Напомним, в июне энтузиасты предупредили, что поставили разработку Fallout: Nuevo México на паузу.

Начнём с Часки, которая уже стала частью сюжетной линии Натлана.

Однако она выжила и выросла в стае кукузавров, из-за чего приобрела привычку драться со всеми подряд.

Из поста с представлением героиниВся жизнь Часки сопровождается конфликтами, поэтому она посвятила себя их решению.

В самой игре его пока не показывали, но, возможно, именно его голос звучит в конце задания Архонтов версии 5.0.

Напомним, версия 5.1 продолжит сюжетную линию Натлана, вернёт праздник Сабзеруз, преложит отправиться на охоту за флогистоновой тлей и так далее.

Всё из-за шрифта Comic Sans, который мало того, что не подходит по атмосфере, так ещё и тащит за собой негативный шлейф .

Как оказалось, Bloober Team всё же оставила потешный знак в ремейке, но пасхалку придётся поискать.

Попытка Bloober Team освежить сиквел оказалась в несколько раз удачнее, но команда всё же не удержалась и оставила в ремейке отсылку к HD Collection.

Некоторые в шутку начали просить мод, который вернёт Comic Sans в игру.

Первый полноценный вид от третьего лица за всю историю серии появится в Halo Infinite до конца ноября с релизом соответствующего обновления.

Об этом сообщили сами разработчики из 343 Industries на официальной страничке Halo в экс-твиттере.

Дополнительными деталями патча поделились старший комьюнити-менеджер Джон Юнышек (John Unyshek) и старший инженер-программист Skybox Labs Колин Коув (Colin Cove).

По их словам, вид «из-за плеча» будет работать как отдельный режим игры, то есть за время матча игроки не смогут по желанию переключать перспективу.

На данный момент неизвестно, будет ли вид от третьего лица поддерживаться в сюжетной кампании, или же его создают исключительно для мультиплеера.

Достойный повод вернуться — критики высоко оценили первое DLC для Diablo IV Достойный повод вернуться — критики высоко оценили первое DLC для Diablo IV

Уже через пару дней состоится релиз дополнения Vessel of Hatred для Diablo IV.

Большая часть оценок оказалась положительной — у Vessel of Hatred в среднем 85 баллов на Metacritic и 86 баллов на Opencritic, а рекомендуют дополнение 92 % журналистов.

К счастью, изменения механик, значительно улучшенная система прогрессии, NPC-компаньоны и возвращение рунических слов — всё это большие плюсы для Diablo IV, и, похоже, нам придётся ещё подождать, чтобы увидеть, куда они приведут игру.

Тем не менее я не могу не указать на одно серьёзное но.

До релиза обновлённой Silent Hill 2 от Bloober Team осталось всего два дня, однако обладатели Deluxe-издания уже получили предварительный доступ к игре.

Несмотря на множество сомнений, вызванных трейлерами и прочими материалами от Konami, проект всё же удостоился похвалы конечных потребителей.

Кроме того, игроки отмечают хорошую оптимизацию с малым количеством багов на релизе.

К примеру, в динамике вы слышите кряхтение монстров и рацию, что довольно круто работает на погружение.

Metaphors aside, though, the game is a gigantic fantasy RPG that's technically better than Persona 5 in a lot of ways.

And overall, I think it's the best game Persona or Persona-like Atlus have put out - it really is brilliant.

In other matters, I don't think Metaphor quite has...

Persona has this jazzy vibe and boppy presentation, whereas Metaphor leans more into the familiar Fire Emblem-style soundtrack of strings and plinks.

And it's a better game than Persona, particularly Persona 5.

Dread Dawn reviewA few bright spots of ingenuity do little to save joyless, aggressively tedious zombie survival.

With a significant overhaul of basically every player interaction Dread Dawn offers - from the abysmally tedious looting to the rusty combat - it might some day be worth your time.

This should have been the game, Dread Dawn!

I didn’t come close to finishing Dread Dawn.

It's such a core interaction and Dread Dawn couldn't even manage that.

Phoenix Springs reviewA point-and-click that may share its genre predecessors frustrations, but Phoenix Springs’ striking art style and poetic storytelling makes it feel like an entirely contemporary detective tale.

Kickstarted back in 2017, Phoenix Springs has been on quite a journey.

Soon into the investigation, Iris’ detective work takes her to Phoenix Springs, a lush oasis plonked in the middle of a vast desert.

Detective games always operate on a stream of logic and structure - but Phoenix Springs is different.

Phoenix Springs is a game that demands you slow down, and whose purposefulness will entice some players but put others off.

Epic detail plans for Unreal Engine 6 and share vision of a metaverse spanning "Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite" Epic detail plans for Unreal Engine 6 and share vision of a metaverse spanning "Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite"

Epic have detailed early plans for Unreal Engine 6, which Sweeney says will combine Unreal Engine with Fortnite's easy-to-use Unreal Editor to create a gigantic, "interoperable" metaverse platform that lets developers sell stuff that can seamlessly be transferred to other games, whether they run on Unreal Engine or not.

All this comes from a new Verge interview with Sweeney and Epic executive vice-president Saxs Persson, which follows this year's Unreal Fest conference in Seattle.

Foremost among those grand plans is the blueprint for Unreal Engine 6, which will take several years to arrive, and is built around the philosophy of "interoperable content" that can be transferred between any gam…

Better still, on October 14th, it's getting a singleplayer demo as part of the Steam Next Fest.

Dead Cells had fabulous-feeling combat and an exciting progression system that made each new run exciting.

That dash is seemingly key, based on Edwin's impressions from seeing a Windblown presentation back at GDC.

My favourite times with Dead Cells came early in its Early Access, when it was likewise a game of dash-rolling impatience, and where most enemies could be bested via turret deployments and ladder-based cheese strats.

I'm inclined to hop on the Windblown train early, in case it charts a similar path.

Avatar: The Last Airbender hasn't had much luck when it comes to adaptations, whether to film or to video games.

Now Paramount Game Studios and Saber Interactive are going to take a new swing at it.

The pair have announced an action RPG set in the "Avatar Legends universe", the broader world and timeline that The Last Airbender and Legend Of Korra take place within.

Despite that, it's had some underwhelming action games, an underwhelming MMO, and some Smite skins (pictured above).

Legend Of Korra faired better with a Platinum-developed action game, but it as Platinum games go it was some extremely mid work-for-hire stuff.

Now Tencent and Ubisoft's founders, the Guillemots, are considering buying out the publisher, reports say.

A report by Bloomberg cited "people familiar with the matter," saying Tencent and Guillemot Brothers Ltd were considering their options.

Both parties are currently minority shareholders of Ubisoft, with Tencent controlling around 9% of shares and the Guillemots owning around 20.5%.

Shareholders' frustrations had been growing for some time, but peaked following the "softer than expected" performance of Star Wars Outlaws.

Guillemot has previously maintained they'd consider selling if someone offered; maybe now we'll see if other shareholders would consider selling to him.

Arrowhead just added new enemies, like the Impaler!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Almost 20 years in, World of Warcraft is the freshest it’s been in years — and it’s thanks to WoW Classic Almost 20 years in, World of Warcraft is the freshest it’s been in years — and it’s thanks to WoW Classic

And there can be no doubt about the source of the creative energy and good vibes: World of Warcraft Classic.

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

When he was speaking in March 2024, World of Warcraft subscriber numbers were higher than they had been at Dragonflight’s launch, and climbing.

But it was Classic updates, starting in August 2023, that prompted Hight’s graph to start trending upward.

There are currently no less than five ways to play WoW Classic: the original game, the Cataclysm expansion, Season of Discovery, and two Hardcore variants.

Hi-Fi Rush studio, shut down by Microsoft, saved by PUBG’s publisher Hi-Fi Rush studio, shut down by Microsoft, saved by PUBG’s publisher

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

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

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

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

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

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes’ Daniel Olsén channeled Twin Peaks’ moody music Lorelei and the Laser Eyes’ Daniel Olsén channeled Twin Peaks’ moody music

Polygon: Was there a game soundtrack or song that inspired you to pursue creating game music?

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

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

Is there anything else I should know about your approach to composing video game music?

It’s like an extension of the video game universe.

Polygon’s favorite audiobooks
Polygon’s favorite audiobooks Polygon’s favorite audiobooks

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

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

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

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

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

It’s easy to see the similarities between The Legend of Zelda games and many FromSoftware games.

Polygon: Was there a game soundtrack or song that inspired you to pursue creating game music?

Yuka Kitamura: Having spent my childhood and growing up with video games in the 1990s and 2000s, there are many masterpieces that have influenced me.

The desire to play the main theme of my favorite video game title of all time, The Legend of Zelda, on the piano motivated me to learn piano during my childhood.

We mentioned performance issues in cutscenes earlier, and performance in live gameplay and in-engine cutscenes also has frame pacing problems, with highly variable frame-times above and below the customary 33ms.

Regardless of the reason for the remake though, the game's frame-rate delivery issues need to be solved.

The director of Silent Hill 2 has commented on the furore around some of the changes Bloober Team and Konami made to its reimagined Silent Hill 2 Remake, saying he "wants to try playing the even more immersive remake" himself.

"In other words, it makes me want to try playing the even more immersive remake of Silent Hill 2!!!"

An Alien: Isolation sequel is in the works, and Hope will be back at the helm for the upcoming release.

Then, at the end of this post to the community, Hope simply wrote:"Today, I'm delighted to confirm, on behalf of the team, that a sequel to Alien: Isolation is in early development.

"I'd always been a huge fan of the first film," says Alistair Hope, Alien: Isolation's director, of the original 1979 movie .

"Like Alien, [Alien: Isolation] has the idea of working people being crushed under the boots of these companies just looking out for their own interests," Kelly says.

And he's right - even a veteran of horror games and movies like myself started Alien: Isolation three times before finally persevering.

Maybe a large faction of gamers thought Alien: Isolation would be too scary for them.

"You know, in 100 years, when there's no device available to play Alien: Isolation, that movie will still have those 'save' points," he grins.

In its 35 year history of developing games, Atlus has become renowned for its Persona and Shin Megami Tensei series.

Really, Metaphor: ReFantazio is the culmination of the genre as a whole.

Politics has often featured in Atlus games, but perhaps never quite so overtly.

The narrative of Metaphor: ReFantazio centres on a magical election: following the death of the king, a tournament is held to decide the next ruler of the kingdom.

Taken as a straightforward fantasy RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio is hard to beat, as Atlus expertly merges nostalgia and modernity.

The news comes from Black Salt Games programmer and writer Joel Mason, who noted this was a "huge day for the steam forums bros who said Dredge looks like a mobile game".

The developer said both the Android and iOS versions of Dredge "will be premium purchases for the full game".

Dredge will be heading to Android, iOS, and Mac on 18th December.

Since its initial release in 2023, the Dredge team has added some DLC to the base game.

Phoenix Springs review - fascinating, frustrating neo-noir surrealism Phoenix Springs review - fascinating, frustrating neo-noir surrealism

A beautiful, elusive mood piece, Phoenix Springs' blend of taut dystopian detective noir and meandering surrealism is likely to frustrate as much as it intrigues.

Phoenix Springs doesn't so much start as awaken, adrift in a shimmering void of static to an only slightly discordant choral swell.

It's here Phoenix Springs jettisons the compelling narrative propulsion and clear-eyed focus of its early mystery, becoming more of a confounding, disorientating mood piece.

In its second half, Phoenix Springs isn't an easy game to love, or even particularly like.

A copy of Phoenix Springs was provided for review by Calligram Studio.

Halo Studios has said it will now develop all future Halo projects using Unreal Engine 5, the Epic Games-made toolkit for game development that's used widely across the industry.

Discussing the move to Unreal Engine, Halo Studios said the change means faster, smoother development and iteration is now possible, while it will also allow for an easier onboarding of new team members who know the toolkit already.

"From a multi-platform game development perspective, moving to Unreal Engine 5 would certainly be easier for the developer than porting across the existing Slipspace engine," Digital Foundry boss Rich Leadbeatter told me this morning.

But it would require an extra layer of porting work …

You've seen Fallout: London, here's Fallout: Nuevo México You've seen Fallout: London, here's Fallout: Nuevo México

A group of modders has launched a new project to mod Fallout: New Vegas into an all-new Mexican-set game.

A new trailer for the Fallout: Nuevo México project has been launched to "give you a glimpse of what we ultimately aim to achieve", although an initial gameplay trailer was released last year.

"Mexico City is the largest city in North America and serves as the biggest hub in Fallout: Nuevo México," reads the new trailer description.

Of course, the project is being compared to Fallout: London, a similar game-sized mod released earlier this year that transported Fallout 4 into the English capital.

No doubt the Fallout: Nuevo México team will be hoping for similar success.

The mysterious project was announced earlier this year alongside a $1.5bn investment by Disney into Epic Games, strengthening the already-close bond between the two companies.

Fortnite features dozens of Disney skins, including characters from Star Wars, Marvel and now Pixar franchises.

But it sounds like this won't be the case with Epic Games' Disney-specific mode.

"A [Lego] minifig doesn't hold a gun," he continued (which is true to a point - minifigures aren't used in Fortnite's battle royale mode, though they certainly can wield guns in Lego Fortnite).

The Disney experience will share - to some extent - Fortnite players' existing "lockers" of cosmetics.

But it is also the company turning the page on the development of Halo Infinite, which is widely seen as having not met Microsoft's expectations.

Согласно американскому изданию, в данный момент Ubisoft совместно с Tencent обсуждают будущее компании.

Далее при совместных с семьей Гиймо усилиях Tencent может перевести компанию из публичных в частные.

Рыночная капитализация Ubisoft составляла до публикации новости о переговорах с Tencent около 1,5 млрд долларов.

Дело в том, что и семья Гиймо, и Tencent, являются миноритариями.

Важный нюанс: помимо доли в Ubisoft у Tencent во владении находится 49,9% холдинговой компании братьев Гиймо — Guillemot Brothers Limited.

Он считает, что в результате компании «перегружают» игры и забывают о том, что на самом деле делает их интересными.

Например, в Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 главной задачей было сделать так, чтобы игроки действительно ощущали себя мощными космодесантниками.

Напомним, по словам менеджера, бюджет Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 оказался вдвое меньше бюджета DOOM Eternal.

«Чтобы Space Marine 2 стала успешной, нам не нужно продавать 4 млн копий.

Актуальные продажи Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Уиллитс не раскрыл.

EA Sports FC 25, Space Marine 2, Astro Bot and PS5 impress in bumper September | UK Monthly Charts EA Sports FC 25, Space Marine 2, Astro Bot and PS5 impress in bumper September | UK Monthly Charts

3.88 million PC and console games were sold in the UK across September, a rise of 8% over 2025.

The jump in game sales is the result of six new titles in the Top Ten.

The No.1 game was, unsurprisingly, EA Sports FC 25.

Although the game's sales are slightly lower than last year, the game's premium early access edition actually performed better year-on-year.

This will be driven by the success of the PS5 All-Digital console last month, plus increased stock levels for the standalone Disc Drive.

Last week, Epic announced a reduction in the royalty rate for Unreal Engine games that launch on Epic Games Store before or at the same time as other marketplaces.

Microsoft has announced several major changes to 343 Industries, the studio behind the Halo games, including a new name, a new engine, and the beginning of work on multiple new titles in its flagship shooter series.

343 Industries will now be known as Halo Studios with an Xbox Wire post adding that, as well as the rebranding, the developer is "seeing changes in culture, workflow, and how its teams are organised."

Central to this is the decision to move away from the studio's proprietary Slipspace Engine and the shift to Unreal Engine 5 – something that was first reported in 2023.

Tencent and Guillemot Brothers Ltd have been exploring ways to stabilise Ubisoft in the wake of its recent troubles, which could result in the pair buying out the publisher and taking it private.

The price dropped to a ten-year low after the launch of Star Wars Outlaws, which the company has since admitted saw "softer than expected" sales.

Guillemot Brothers Ltd is a company run by the family of the same name, some of which founded Ubisoft – including the publisher's long-serving CEO Yves Guillemot.

In 2022, Tencent increased its stake in GBL, indirectly increasing its investment in Ubisoft.

As hints about the sales numbers for Star Wars Outlaws have trickled out through various different data tracking agencies, the depth of the crisis that has engulfed Ubisoft is slowly becoming clear.

It's certainly true that Star Wars Outlaws isn't all that it could have been, given the property and the premise, and the word-of-mouth around it post-launch has been a bit lukewarm as a result.

All of these takes on the situation, whether they're wrapped up in culture wars or hopeful optimism, tacitly acknowledge the same core issue – Star Wars is currently struggling to find a receptive audience for almost any of its output, and the old idea that Star Wars branding was pixie dust you could sca…

However, instead of using the supernatural as it does in Persona, in Metaphor it creates a dystopian fantasy that mirrors reality.

In a way, the game feels like Persona with a more thorough editor.

For all the ways Metaphor better utilizes some of Persona’s core elements, it also tends to feel formulaic in some ways.

To most people who want to believe in a better world, nothing Metaphor has to say is necessarily surprising.

Reading fiction that believes in the possibility of a better world is not the same as fighting for one.

Our 8-Part Plan For Alex Pereira To Become A Combat Sports GOAT Begins Tonight Our 8-Part Plan For Alex Pereira To Become A Combat Sports GOAT Begins Tonight

Before getting his topknot kicked crooked at UFC 303, Jiří Procházka accused Pereira of using “magic” and “spells” to win their previous fight, which is as hilarious as it is bizarre.

But on the off chance that’s it’s true, Pereira’s GOAT resume could benefit from a spell that grants Izzy the courage to give 205 a second chance.

In turn, this makes both of their claims to greatness seem slightly less daring.

Sure, Pereira’s move to heavyweight could and should happen with or without an MMA tie-breaker with Adesanya.

But imagine how much more special it’d be if it came after an ancient Brazilian ritual granted Izzy his former spirit and compelled him to complete the greatest UFC rivalry in t…

However, rather than once again talking up the collection as a whole for this week’s entry, I’m going to focus on the one game I’ve been playing most within UFO 50 of late: Grimstone, the collection’s epic JRPG.

AdvertisementIn many ways, Grimstone feels like a traditional early JRPG.

And even if the characters in your party don’t have much depth, the world itself does.

I think I’m finally nearing the end of that quest after playing Grimstone pretty obsessively in recent days, though I still have no idea quite what I’ll find at the end of the mysterious late-game dungeon that now awaits me.

One thing I do know, however, is that no matter what I find, finishing Grimstone will hardly mark the…

Metaphor: ReFantazio Review – Persona Non Grata Metaphor: ReFantazio Review – Persona Non Grata

Has the team at Atlus finally broken out of their mold, or is Metaphor: ReFantazio just the same game with a new mask?

Because of this, dungeons in Metaphor: ReFantazio are better suited to be tackled in a single day without taking return trips.

I touched upon this briefly before, but the Archetype system sets Metaphor: ReFantazio apart from the Shin Megami Tensei counterparts despite both sharing similar DNA.

That isn’t to say that Hashino’s team hasn’t created another stylish JRPG with broad appeal, but the premise that Metaphor: ReFantazio is a brand-new fantasy is dead.

If the Persona series left you wanting more, Metaphor: ReFantazio certainly is a tale worth experiencing for yourself.

M4 MacBook Pro GPU Benchmark Posts A 7 Percent Higher Score Than M4 iPad Pro, Along With A 15 Percent Lead Over The M3 Models M4 MacBook Pro GPU Benchmark Posts A 7 Percent Higher Score Than M4 iPad Pro, Along With A 15 Percent Lead Over The M3 Models

The only explanation we have for this difference is that the M4 MacBook Pro’s active cooling solution with a fan helps to post a higher result.

Given that the M4 iPad Pro is exceptionally thin, it is power-constrained, meaning that the SoC cannot properly flex its muscles.

As for the M3 MacBook Pro that launched late last year, we see that the latter achieved a score of 49,890, making the M4 MacBook Pro over 15 percent faster in this specific test.

We can also conclude that this was an ‘apples to apples’ comparison because the M3 is equipped with a 10-core GPU, like its successor.

ShadPS4 PlayStation 4 Emulator Is About to Make Gravity Rush Remastered Fully Playable on PC ShadPS4 PlayStation 4 Emulator Is About to Make Gravity Rush Remastered Fully Playable on PC

The ShadPS4 PlayStation 4 emulator is finally bringing Bloodborne on PC, also making fan-made remasters possible, but there's another console exclusive that will eventually be made playable on PC before Sony will bother porting it.

As showcased in a recent video shared on YouTube by John GodGames Emus, Gravity Rush Remastered emulation has been improved in the emulator's 0.3.1.

By adding the libSceFontFt.sprx and libSceFreeTypeOt.sprx sys modules, the game running on the emulator properly displays text, solving one of the biggest issues that made the game pretty much unplayable.

The ShadPS4 emulator has been making amazing progress for the past few months, going from barely being able to bo…

However, it became so interesting that AMD decided to make it available around the world, and we didn't have to wait long for leading partners to present their versions. In this review, we will focus on the RX 7900 GRE from Gigabyte, which uses a custom PCB and power design. The card is also overclocked, so it promises better than standard performance.

Outside of the obvious that it's a 4070 Super and slim compared to the 3-slot plus monsters we're used to seeing, the MLG version (where their Dragon, Lucky, turns into the Dragon Princess) sports red highlights, and it includes a magnetic backplate with a picture of their anime-style princess.

Mobile devices like ultrabooks, tablets, and handheld gaming consoles are getting more popular each year. Even if we look only at handheld consoles, a year ago, we had one popular option: Steam Deck. Right now, there is also ASUS ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion GO, and soon MSI will join with their new product. Most of consoles and other devices are sold with lower capacity or simply slower storage, so it's not a surprise that many owners think about replacing the storage, which more often is M.2 SSD in a user-friendly and tiny 2230 form factor. For those users, Corsair designed the reviewed today MP600 Core Mini at a high 2TB capacity.

The MP700 PRO is one of the fastest M.2 SSDs we can buy in stores, and even though it shares the same Phison controllers as all the fastest PCIe 5.0 SSDs, the MP700 PRO's design is improved compared to the competition. Of course, I won't share everything in the introduction, but you can expect some exceptional results.

The tale begins in 1995, when two brothers, Ievgen and Sergiy Grygorovich, sparked by the gift of a computer from their father, pursued their dream of game development.

But now, as the 300-strong GSC Game World team faces the development of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

As the political conflict escalated, so did the risks for GSC Game World.

Two-thirds of GSC Game World’s staff were displaced and they had to rebuild their lives from scratch while continuing their work on S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

But for GSC Game World, this moment represents much more than just feedback.

Jon St John is on TikTok and he'll say whatever filth you want in the Duke Nukem voice Jon St John is on TikTok and he'll say whatever filth you want in the Duke Nukem voice

For gamers of a certain vintage, Jon St John's voice is instantly recognisable.

His performance of Duke Nukem is iconic—he delivered lines as ridiculous as "Your face, your ass, what's the difference?"

For a couple of days now he's basically been reading out in the classic Duke voice any line a commenter asks for, like a sort of free and chaotic version of Cameo.

I'd somehow also completely missed that Jon owns a Duke Nukem puppet (the "Duppet") which he uses to voice even more one-liners.

It goes to show: there'll always be a place in this industry for a man who can say literally anything with a straight face.

Age of Empires 2 in first-person? Sure why not Age of Empires 2 in first-person? Sure why not

First released in 2021, Overreign is a mod that converts Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition into a first-person experience.

On average, 2-3 games are played per day, which is very nice for a standalone-mod that launched 5 years ago.

"In late game (with many units) it eats up my 32GB for breakfast and freezes every couple of minutes."

PCG's Morgan Park pointed out that this all reminds him of Age of Doom , a brilliant-slash-bizarre mod that uses the Age of Empires 2 engine to make Doom into a third person isometric RTS shooter.

The two certainly make for good companions and, just like Doom, Age of Empires 2 is having quite the afterlife: over a quarter of century since it released, the game…

It puts Doomguy and his arsenal of weapons in Quake, and adapts everything for the vertical aiming and movement of that game.

The Wayward Friendship sidequest is one of the new ones you can pick up while exploring the region of Nahantu in Diablo 4 's Vessel of Hatred expansion, and it might give you a little trouble.

All that said, here's how to help Ajtzak save the cat and taunt the villagers so you can complete the Wayward Friendship quest.

To do this you need to first enter the camp and then when the objective changes to "Taunts the Villagers", use the taunt emote.

You might have already tried using the taunt emote unsuccessfully—it's worth noting this quest is pretty buggy.

Then all you need to do is defend Ajtzak from the angry poachers and you've completed the quest.

These were the heady years of 1996-'97, when Interplay was simultaneously publishing Baldur's Gate while internally developing Fallout and, eventually, Planescape: Torment.

Urquhart was head of Interplay's RPG division, which was then coalescing into the publisher's well-loved subsidiary, Black Isle Studios.

"I said, 'Ok, we need a game that we can go and actually just make without inventing new technology,'" Urquhart said.

"[Urquhart] just came one day and said, 'We're going to do a Planescape game,' and in my head I'm going 'What the fuck is that?'"

Back in July, Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Modded Hardware — an online store which, as you might expect, sells modded Switch consoles and chips — in its continued attempt to clamp down on piracy.

The agreement was obviously not upheld, leading Nintendo to submit a complaint to a Seattle federal court where Daly is accused of six different charges.

Alongside these responses, Daly has also submitted a list of 17 affirmative defences — a set of statements which if proven, defeat the consequences of the lawsuit.

It is unclear whether Daly will remain self-represented as things progress, though he could still request legal assistance before entering court.

Even though it seems everyone's attention is on what's next for Nintendo, Sonic Team is keeping last-gen consoles in mind as it looks to the future.

That is according to Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka, who, in a recent interview with IGN, claimed that he wants "as many people as possible to play" Sonic games, and the studio will keep supporting "lower spec consoles" to ensure that.

Coming out with those consoles, we feel that we can make newer Sonic games that can express the speed of Sonic and with much better gaming UI as well.

However, we want to support the lower spec constants as well.

This week, as we gear up to Nintendo's next big release of 2024, we're taking a look at the Mario Party series.

Specifically, we're putting the series' first full portable title, Mario Party Advance (yep, we're skipping over the e-Reader's Mario Party-e there), under the microscope as we match up a duo of different designs from this 2005 GBA release.

Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom's Overworld Appears To Include Links To The Past Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom's Overworld Appears To Include Links To The Past

When The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom was initially revealed, there was a fair bit of speculation about the new overworld and how it possibly linked up with the map in previous entries.

As highlighted on social media and elsewhere online by Zelda enthusiasts, it appears the new adventure does actually have some connections to the Super Nintendo classic A Link to the Past.

It’s truly amazing how Grezzo made the Echoes of Wisdom map with such care.

There are all sorts of other similarities between the two games, which seemingly confirms the link.

These connections appear to fueling speculation about the Zelda timeline and how it fits in with A Link to the Past and A Link Between Worlds.

For daydreamers who ponder what this high-octane, high-risk mediaeval sport is like in modern times, Knight Lancer fulfils that dream as you start out as a downtrodden knight.

Dreams are strange, and that's a fact. They can seem very real, but everything can be just a little bit off.

Superliminal is dreamlike in a very real sense. The core component of gameplay is perspective, as depending on where you place and handle objects, they'll change size, shape and even definition. You need to use the bizarre nature of your dreamlike world to your advantage as you progress and solve puzzles. ... [MORE]

You no longer need 3 separate PC applications for official Meta Quest casting, PC VR, and remote desktop.

Meta has also changed Meta Quest Link's logo from white to black, solving the problem of it having the exact same logo as Meta Quest Developer Hub.

Meta Quest Remote Desktop was previously required to view your PC screen in the Remote Display and Horizon Workrooms Quest apps, but its functionality has now been merged into Meta Quest Link too.
