Режиссёр и продюсер Дэвид Финчер дал большое интервью Collider о работе над третьей частью антологии «Любовь, смерть и роботы», поговорив как о своём эпизоде, так и об остальных работах и планах на будущее.

Авторы обещали рассказать о полиамории, а получилась история всеобщей подлости.

Ведомство недовольно ими уже не первый год.

На интересующий всех вопрос о Гайке ответа нет.

Шортлист, в котором, кажется, уже определился фаворит.

При этом откровенно плохим Маркус Лейто сериал не называет.

Джерард Батлер вернётся к своей роли из первого фильма.

Как совместить десятки милых отсылок и разнос кинобизнеса в одной истории.

Джордж Миллер воспринимает кинокомиксы как своего рода этап в развитии мировой культуры и уверен, что с годами они будут меняться.

Режим 120 fps для Xbox Series S — отличный, а вот пресет 30 fps на Series X — «сломанный».

Более полутора лет назад свет увидели PlayStation 5 и Xbox Series.

На презентациях и в блогах Sony и Microsoft рассказывали, какими мощными получатся консоли, как они изменят индустрию и насколько важно, что на смену медленному HDD придёт супербыстрый SSD.

Обладатели «старушек» без игр не останутся — там выйдут новая Saints Row, Marvel’s Midnight Suns, Sonic Frontiers, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum и не только.

Получается, что кроссген этого поколения просуществует ненамного дольше, чем при переходе с PS3 и Xbox 360 на PS4 и Xbox One.

Надеюсь, на летних презентациях нас чем-то удивят, и не только красивой графикой.

Напомним, релиз State of Decay 2 состоялся 18 мая 2018 года на ПК и Xbox One.

За 4 года State of Decay 2 обросла такой статистикой:Со второй частью ознакомились более 10 миллионов игроков.

Уничтожено более 1,8 миллиарда джаггернаутов и 4,6 миллиарда зомби.

В настоящий момент Undead Labs в поте лица трудится над State of Decay 3.

Игра должна выйти на ПК и Xbox Series, но когда именно — неясно.

Если долго вглядываться во тьму, то вскоре она начнёт вглядываться в тебя — такое описание могла бы получить новая героиня League of Legends Бел’Вет.

Чудовищно прекрасная императрица Бездны намерена выиграть катку, а затем пожрать весь мир.

Бел’Вет происходит из самого сердца Бездны — порождение небытия вторглось в Рунтерру и поглотило портовый город Белвет вместе с его жителями.

В её планах уничтожить Рунтерру и выстроить новый мир.

Больше деталей о Бел’Вет студия раскроет позже.

Только на прошлой неделе EXOR Studios назвала дату выхода первого расширения для The Riftbreaker, однако Metal Terror изворотливым ужом выскользнула из намеченных планов.

До релиза оставалось чуть больше недели — этого времени разработчикам не хватило бы, чтобы довести проект до ума.

Команда с тяжёлым сердцем сообщила, что вопреки приложенным усилиям ей не удастся выпустить Metal Terror к 30 мая.

Разработчики могли бы исправить большинство проблем к концу мая, но тогда не было бы гарантий качества итогового продукта.

Мы не хотим рисковать, выпуская недоделанный продукт, исключительно из-за того, что «могли бы успеть к сроку».

Клон за клоном, патинко-«рогалик», тетрис на воде и симулятор укладывания вещей в чемодан из RE4. Игры выпуска: — Trigon: Space Story ( https://stopgame.ru/game/trigon_space_story );

Сериал по Halo вымучивали много лет, но результат оказался смешанным: например, шоу выделилось абсурдной сценой секса, которую публика встретила без энтузиазма.

Это не та Halo, которую делал я.Справедливости ради, не говорю, что сериал мне не нравится.

Он просто настолько отличается от Halo, которую я помогал создавать, словно это другая вселенная.

Отметим, что это и правда другая вселенная: сюжет сериала выделили в «серебряный таймлайн», который развивается отдельно от видеоигр и не является каноничным.

Несмотря на неоднозначные отзывы, сериал по Halo поставил рекорд по просмотрам на своей стриминговой площадке и уже продлён на второй сезон.

Тебя могут называть самой быстрой гонкой во вселенной, но переносы всё равно окажутся быстрее!

Планировалось, что Redout 2 примчится к релизу уже через несколько дней, но почти в последний момент игру отложили до следующего месяца.

Причины не уточняются, а авторы отделываются лишь фразой: «Это поможет убедиться, что мы гремим из всех орудий с самого начала и предоставляем всем наилучшие впечатления от игры».

Теперь Redout 2 выйдет 16 июня (вместо 26 мая).

Что же такого можно сделать с проектом за три недели?..

У шутера про слоу-мо и ган-фу Trepang2 уже есть демоверсия, но старая — её собрали ещё в 2019 году.

С тех пор игру доработали, и вы скоро сможете лично узнать, как именно: в следующем месяце авторы выпустят новое демо.

Пробник станет доступен с 13 июня 2022-го в рамках фестиваля «Играм быть» в Steam.

Что именно включат в новое демо, пока не уточняется, но разработчики обещают поделиться подробностями до 13 июня.

Релиз Trepang2 должен состояться в течение 2022-го через Steam.

Эту революцию ждали вместе с четвертой частью, а дождались чего-то совсем непонятного: BIS неожиданно выпустила в ранний доступ Arma Reforger.

Это не Arma 4Строго говоря, анонс четвёртой части всё-таки состоялся — в презентации Arma Reforger сразу сообщили, что это лишь промежуточный шаг на пути к Arma 4.

Однако следует понимать, что в плане модели распространения Reforger — самостоятельный проект: это не бета-версия четвёртой части и обладание игрой не даёт никаких преференций при покупке Arma 4.

Reforger вышла и на Xbox; скорее всего, не избежит этой участи и четвёртая часть.

Моё отношение к новинке, как вы могли заметить, сильно предвзято и явно отличается от мнения большинства: сейчас у…

Бодрая ММОРПГ с восхитительной графикой стартовала на днях и уже успела захватить внимание тысяч игроков.

Игра доступна абсолютно бесплатно через Google Play Store, App Store и на ПК.

В игре великолепная графика, не зря разработчики так тщательно проработали фоторежим, а персонажа можно досконально настроить проявив свою креативность.

Игра кроссплатформенная, поэтому можно играть как с телефона, так и с ПК с одного аккаунта!

И, дескать, одним из вариантов была Electronic Arts — а она и сама не прочь с кем-нибудь объединиться и рассматривает самые разные варианты.

Гипотетически EA могла бы добавить отличной синергии: у NBCUniversal много спортивных франшиз, а у Electronic Arts — очень сильное подразделение EA Sports.

Юристы и банкиры EA и NBCUniversal вели переговоры на протяжении нескольких недель и, например, обсуждали, кого поставить во главе сдвоенной компании.

EA обсуждала объединение с Disney , Apple и Amazon .

EA продолжает попытки продавить сделку с Disney: она устраивала переговоры с «мышиной» корпорацией в марте 2022-го.

Она доступна только на консолях PlayStation (и частично в браузере), но, судя по одной из вакансий, PSN собираются запустить и на ПК.

Sony ищет руководителя и управляющего продукцией по играм на ПК.

Подчёркивается, что кандидаты должны прекрасно разбираться в игровой индустрии, особенно «в том, что касается игровых нужд и трендов в сферах ПК, кросс-плея, облачных технологий и мобильных устройств».

Возможно, Sony хочет сделать свой лончер на ПК или как минимум ПК-клиент, через который можно будет взаимодействовать с PlayStation Network (скажем, писать сообщения друзьям).

Если вас все эти программные причуды не интересуют, можете смотреть на это так: Sony плотно взялась за ПК-рынок и продолжа…

Там собираются взять физическую модель из Wreckfest и приделать элементы, напоминающие о FlatOut, Destruction AllStars и Trackmania.

В Stuntfest имеются разные виды заездов — есть гонки по типу Trackmania, где нужно кататься по огромным склонам с трамплинами, а есть дерби на уничтожение.

Как и в Destruction AllStars, водитель умеет покидать автомобиль и бегать на своих двоих.

Машина призывается в любой момент, персонаж может использовать предметы, назначенные на триггеры геймпада, а у тачек предусмотрены нитро-ускорение и особые способности.

У THQ Nordic запланирована презентация игр, которая пройдёт 12 августа, но предполагаем, что Stuntfest всё-таки покажут раньше чем через три месяца.

Помните, как в первом трейлере «Соника в кино» показали настолько неудачного Соника, что фильм отправили на доработку с редизайном?

Нового «Чипа и Дейла» снимали для сервиса Disney+, но там есть и другие камео, в том числе не из франшиз Disney.

Акива ШэфферПервые отзывы у «Чипа и Дейла» положительные: 67 из 100 на Metacritic и 79 % на Rotten Tomatoes.

Чип погрузился в пригородную жизнь и работает страховым агентом, а Дейл ударился в ностальгию, сделал себе CGI-операцию и катается по фан-фестивалям, чтобы попытаться хоть немного вернуть популярность.

«Чип и Дейл спешат на помощь» уже вышел на Disney+.

Компания Riot Games выпустила короткий синематик, посвящённый новому чемпиону League of Legends. Им оказалась Бел'Вет, владычица Бездны, которая полна решимости разрушить Рунтерру и выстроить мир заново по своему подобию.Загадочная крылатая фигура появлялась в игре несколько раз на протяжении почти десяти лет. Силуэт императрицы Бездны мелькал в анимации умения Виктора со скином Создатель, выпущенным в 2013 году. Но Riot Games ни разу не прокомментировала это появление.Официальные подробности о боевых умениях Бел'Вет пока не опубликованы, но из утечек известно, что императрица будет лесником-дуэлянтом. Ей приписывают формирование роя с навыками вампиризма, способность притягивать к себе вра…

Студия Mundfish подвела промежуточные итоги работы над амбициозным шутером Atomic Heart. Впервые мы об игре услышали в 2018 году, а всего разработчики трудятся над ней уже пять лет. За этот период команда увеличилась до 120 человек.По приблизительным подсчётам, на протяжении этих пяти лет команда работала по 22 рабочих дня в месяц и по 8 часов в день. Если взять среднее число в 60 разработчиков, то это даёт огромное количество потраченного на разработку времени.Это в общей сложности дает аж 633 600 часов — Шестьсот Тридцать три ТЫСЯЧИ часов разработки игры. Что дает на выходе несколько десятков часов геймплея. Всего несколько десятков часов за пять лет.Тут остается только один вывод. Игры —…

Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo are set to join Robert Pattinson in Bong Joon Ho's upcoming sci-fi movie based on Edward Ashton's novel Mickey7.

Three Thousand Years of Longing is a meandering fairy-tale spanning thousands of years that’s full of modern-day whimsy – it’s just too bad it all falls apart in the third act.

Vampire in the Garden is a visually interesting if empty tale of doomed love, war, and blood… lots of blood.

The Stranger is a dark, brooding nightmare based on a true story of child abduction and a police operation to catch a killer.

iFixit prematurely revealed all the parts it plans to sell for the Steam Deck that will soon allow you to fix Valve's latest handheld by yourself, if you so choose.

Kate McKinnon, Pete Davidson, Aidy Bryant, and Kyle Mooney are all reportedly set to leave Saturday Night Live when its 47th season comes to a close on Saturday, May 21.

Mad Titans, Goddesses of Death, Living Planets, and more, these are the most powerful Marvel villains in the MCU.

IGN talks with comic book legends Frank Miller and Dan DiDio to learn more about Miller's new publishing company and the return of beloved series like Sin City and Ronin.

Earlier this month, Embracer Group announced their intent to buy Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montreal and Square Enix Montreal from Square Enix in a $300 million (around £240m) deal.

The acquisition includes the original IP associated with those studios, including Deus Ex, Thief, Legacy Of Kain and Tomb Raider.

In their quarterly earnings report, Embracer now say they see "great potential" in leveraging the heck out of that IP with sequels, remakes and more.

Battlefield 2042 continues to receive updates as EA Dice attempt to fix a game that felt woefully incomplete at launch.

The developers feel that with 64 players, Breakthrough mode offers "a more tactical experience" with less chaos.

Breakthrough is a long-standing Battlefield mode which splits players into attackers and defenders, with attackers attempting to push the frontline forward until they conquer the map.

I guess this is only a problem if someone is still buying Battlefield 2042.

At launch, Ed's Battlefield 2042 review said the game was "blighted by performance issues", with balance problems across most modes.

Electronic Arts are allegedly looking for a buyer and have held discussions with Disney, Amazon, Apple and Comcast-NBCUniversal.

According to anonymous sources in a report by news site Puck, the conversations progressed furthest with NBCUniversal, but talks "fell apart within the last month," the report says.

Rather than an acquisition, Comcast-NBCUniversal chairman Brian Roberts reportedly approached EA CEO Andrew Wilson with the suggestion of spinning off NBCUniversal and merging it with EA.

A spokesperson for EA told Puck they would not comment on "rumors and speculation relating to M&A".

Electronic Arts have been active too, buying Codemasters for $1.2 billion (around £960 million) last…

But what are you playing this weekend?

I think I'll restart it this weekend.

I plan to introduce several friends and family members to the game this weekend.

I really, really should think about getting some packing sorted this weekend, or at least do my laundry or something.

But you, reader dear, what are you playing this weekend?

Today I'm experiencing that distress while playing the demo for A Little To The Left, a puzzle game about organising someone's household items while a mischievous cat sometimes interferes.

I think I've got it:When no shiny star pops up to tell me I'm right, I rethink.

The game has multiple 'correct' solutions to some levels so I try to feel out what the others might be.

But I'm right, aren't I?

Tell me I'm right.

We’ve investigated which game genres work best on the Steam Deck; now it’s time to go in with an even finer comb to find the best Steam Deck games on a more individual basis.

What makes a game a good Steam Deck game?

But, these are the best Steam Deck games that little old me has played himself.

Portal 2Portal 2 was one of first games Valve showed running on the Steam Deck, and it’s clear why.

Shadow of the Tomb RaiderLara’s climbing, sneaking, and wanton graverobbing talents all carry over to the Steam Deck without trouble.

MultiVersus is Warner Bros' spin on a Super Smash Bros-like that's free-to-play and features an all-star mishmash of franchises: Scooby Doo, Game Of Thrones, Adventure Time.

If you've played Smash Bros before, it should feel instantly familiar.

Another slight rework to the Smash Bros framework is in the UI.

MultiVersus pops each character's damage numbers under their person at all times, where Smash Bros stuck them in a static row at the bottom of the screen.

Where Smash Bros characters are weighty yet have a distinct crispness to every little thing, MultiVersus doesn't match this seal of quality.

Actor and Monster Energy drinker Norman Reedus has seemingly confirmed that Death Stranding 2 exists in an interview with men’s website Leo this week.

Watch on YouTube Was Norman Reedus referring to a sequel to Death Stranding or the Director's Cut?

Genshin Impact is back on track, with the next update scheduled for release on May 31st.

Developers MiHoYo announced earlier this month that Genshin Impact’s 2.7 update would be delayed, but didn’t put a timeframe on when we’d see it arrive.

Update 2.7 arrives on May 31st and update 2.8 is expected on July 13th.

The May update for Amazon Games and Smilegate’s multiplayer online action RPG Lost Ark introduces a new class this week that really enjoys smashing things up: the Destroyer.

Axe-wielding goat lad Valtan arrives this month to finally incorporate team-based Legion Raids into the Western version of Lost Ark too.

The Destroyer class is so good at thwacking things with their massive hammers that they can actually bend gravity with them, according to Smilegate.

The new raids coming with the May update are bringing a new rarity to gear in Lost Ark: ‘Relic’.

You can read the full details of what’s in the ‘Destined For Destruction’ update here.

The Cerebral Puzzle Showcase is underway on Steam, offering demos and discounts on puzzle games until Monday.

It is quite a lot of puzzle games.

See our Return Of The Obra Dinn review for more, and we declared it our favourite game of 2018 too.

Like Obra Dinn, this has been cheaper before, but like Obra Dinn, this is one of the very best puzzle games.

A delightful puzzle game about rearranging phrases to redefine how objects in the world work, including yourself.

My personal highlight, though, was talking to the Pinny Arcade collectors during the show's official trading event.

I’ll admit, before I went to PAX I didn’t really appreciate how big Pinny Arcade was.

I’d definitely seen photos of colourful metal pins depicting characters from various video games fly across my screen as I browsed Twitter, but I had never thought much about them beyond that.

I was shocked, then, to arrive at PAX and realise just how integral this collectable is to the show.

It turns out, Pinny Arcade is huge.

It looks like the weekend of June 11th and 12th will be the culmination of this year’s Not-E3, as the PC Gaming Show and Future Games Show have announced their start times.

The Future Games Show is back on June 11th at 12pm PST/8pm BST, while the PC Gaming Show is set for 12.30pm PST/8.30pm BST on June 12th.

The PC Gaming Show, website here, is back for its eighth year and will be presented by Sean Plott and Mica Burton.

The Future Games Show is also showcasing around 40 yet-unannounced games, including some from Amanita Design, Thunderful and Team 17, some of which will be on PC.

Last year’s PC Gaming Show announced Dodgeball Academia, Far: Changing Tides and Citizen Sleeper, among others.

In Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers, animated characters live alongside live-action humans — and not just Disney characters.

The movie follows the two cartoon chipmunks, voiced by John Mulaney and Andy Samberg, as they reunite years after their show Rescue Rangers was canceled.

Practically every screenshot of Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers is packed with Easter eggs and visual references, from Seth Rogen’s Pumbaa from the “live-action” CG Lion King remake to My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic’s Mane Six running across a convention floor.

It also pays homage to one of the original creators of the Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers television show, Tad Stones.

Polygon’s What to Watch highlights the best, the funniest, the scariest, and the most exciting in movies, TV, and everything in between.

That last part is key — there are quite a few great sports movies that won’t be included here because of their lack of availability on streaming platforms.

Here are 20 sports movies we quite like, and we hope you do as well.

Why you should watch: No movie has better captured the anxiety of watching a high-pressure sports event that you have a personal stake in.

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series will return to Disney Plus with its third season on July 21.

That’s right: It’s High School Musical’s Corbin Bleu, who plays best friend Chad Danforth in the original trilogy of movies.

The Disney Plus show focuses on the high school theater group at the “real” version of the high school where the iconic Disney Channel Original Movie was filmed.

The first season followed the group of teenagers as they put on a production of High School Musical.

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series stars Olivia Rodrigo, Joshua Bassett, Matt Cornett, Sofia Wylie, Julia Lester, Dara Reneé, Frankie Rodriguez, Kate Reinders, and Olivia Rose Keegan.

Long-time fans of the Pokémon franchise may remember the early retro art style of Ken Sugimori, the illustrator of the artwork used for the original Pokémon games.

But what if we revisited that pen and marker artstyle for a modern Pokémon title?

A fan account has been posting images of what a Sugimori-inspired Pokémon game mght look like; the bio, which is in Japanese, explains that they are creating fan art of Pokémon from a different time.

It’s definitely fascinating to imagine what a game like Pokémon Legends: Arceus might look like if it was done through this super nostalgic lens.

The account also shares a look at other fascinating alternate realities, like a Sword and Shield-era take o…

Share All sharing options for: Breaking down Love, Death & Robots season 3 by the amounts of love, death, and robotsTim Miller and David Fincher’s edgy adult animated anthology Love, Death & Robots is back with volume 3, baby!

“Three Robots: Exit Strategies”The first direct sequel in Love, Death & Robots history — from the mind of acclaimed sci-fi novelist John Scalzi.

“Kill Team Kill” opens with a shot of someone taking a piss off a cliff top and leaking all over the camera.

However, if that sort of Adult Swim-esque crude humor is your jam, then “Kill Team Kill” is a gory good time, super macho to the point of hilarious parody.

Catan, the granddaddy of the board game boom, hasn’t merely been around long enough to have a whole spread of spinoffs and expansions — it’s been around long enough for those spinoffs to be rebooted too.

Out this fall, Catan: Dawn of Humankind is a forthcoming stand-alone game that takes a classic stand-alone game based on Catan and brings it under the Catan brand, reintroducing fans of the strategy game to a more prehistoric take on the franchise.

According to Catan Studio, Dawn of Humankind is a reboot of The Settlers of the Stone Age, a strategy game based on Catan that was released in 2002 and featured a more prehistoric theme, in contrast with Catan’s more agrarian set dressing.

Ditto is trolling everyone in the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG).

But now, the new peel-off card for Ditto has thrown the community into chaos, as collectors and fans hash out what would actually be the best way to collect the card.

The card will come as part of an expansion to the new line of Pokémon cards inspired by Pokémon Go.

Being a Pokémon TCG collector is serious business.

During the pandemic, the demand for Pokémon cards shot through the roof and sent card grading agencies into an absolute death spiral.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus made catching Pokémon more immersive, with an open world designed for sneaking and throwing Poké Balls.

But a lot of wild Pokémon would also attack on sight, making the game a lot more intimidating for players that weren’t used to being approached and knocked out cold.

But my perception changed after my TikTok feed led me to a series of impressive and incredibly unsettling animations that make Pokémon look as if they exist in real life.

Like other lifelike art of Pokémon, Whittenburg’s animations are mesmerizing and often terrifyingSome of Whittenburg’s animations depict Pokémon as if players are catching them in the wild.

But the animations depicting random encounte…

Bel’Veth, a deceptive new Void creature, has been revealed as the game’s latest champion.

The champion’s introduction came by way of a creepy new teaser trailer that Riot released on Friday.

Just as the terrors of Bel’Veth are revealed, the teaser cuts to black.

It does seem that she often disguises herself as a human, so it’s unclear how often we’ll see her monster form on Summoner’s Rift.

Based on Riot’s normal schedule, we’ll hopefully learn more about this new Void champion sometime next week.

In the latest trailer for Ms. Marvel, where Kamala will make her MCU debut, that mantra is front and center: “Good is not a thing you are, Kamala,” her Sheikh tells her at the start.

“It is a thing you do.”That, like Peter Parker’s “with great power, there must also come great responsibility,” is the rallying cry for the young new Ms. Marvel (played here by Iman Vellani), and the latest trailer does a pretty good job of laying out all the other reasons she rocks in a tight 60 seconds.

There are the cool matter manipulation powers she gets from a power band, her plucky superhero fandom and elaborate Captain Marvel cosplay, and her identity as a Pakistani American teen practicing Islam in the…

It’s been a long, long wait since Mad Max: Fury Road dropped our jaws and boggled our collective minds in 2015, but George Miller’s follow-up to a generational classic is finally getting closer.

The trailer for his next movie, Three Thousand Years of Longing, is out now, giving us the first real look we’ve had of the Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton vehicle.

The whole thing is a trip — there’s a good reason this is one of our most anticipated movies of the summer.

Three Thousand Years of Longing isn’t the only film Miller has been working on in the past seven years.

Three Thousand Years of Longing is set to premiere in theaters on Aug. 31.

Queer love story Heartstopper, which debuted on Netflix less than a month ago, has already been renewed, the streaming giant revealed on Thursday.

In addition to showcasing stories from a variety of their friends, the duo have their first kiss in the show’s eight episode season, and begin to explore their identities as young, queer students.

It even spawned its own meme on Twitter, where fans shared their most beloved gay ships.

Heartstopper’s first season only covers the first two volumes of the graphic novel, so there’s plenty of romance left to explore.

The webcomic already has four volumes out, with the fifth and final volume expected early next year.

Developed by The Source VR Mod Team, Half-Life 2: VR is a third-party mod that, when finished, will be released free of charge on Steam to owners of Half-Life 2.

This isn't the first time Half-Life 2 has been brought into VR of course.

Thanks to a workaround in Garry's Mod, Gordon Freeman's second adventure has been playable in VR for a couple of years ago now.

No More Heroes 3 is headed to PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox consoles later this year.

The latest asymmetric multiplayer horror, Evil Dead: The Game, has sold more than 500,000 copies.

Saber Interactive $EMBRAC has revealed Evil Dead: The Game has sold more than 500.000 units in the first 5 days after its release.

Evil Dead: The Game launched on Friday 13th May for PC, #PS5, #PS4, #XboxSeriesX, #XboxOne, and #NintendoSwitch.

The Evil Dead is not the only game to have hit such a milestone this week.

Half a million people have signed up to play vampiric survival game V Rising in just three days, too.

If the game industry gives me just one last remaster before its remastering machines run dry, please let it be SSX Tricky.

I have only played a few games in my life with the sort of obsession I had with SSX Tricky.

Landing a cool trick in SSX Tricky is easy, in part because of the good controls, but also because even the simplest trick looks cool.

SSX Tricky understood something about characters that licensed games can take for granted – sports games are often more fun if you can enjoy them as someone you like.

SSX Tricky, a snowboarding game, was voiced by a group of people that could rival an early 2000s Pixar movie cast.

Также неплохие результаты показал рынок PC-игр, чей оборот увеличился с $230 млн до $300 млн (на 23,3%).

Если же возвращаться к положению дел на инвестиционном «фронте», то, как мы уже отметили в заголовке, локальные игровые команды «привлекли» за отчетный период порядка $266 млн.

Цифра может показаться не очень крупной, учитывая, что с 2015 по 2020-й в турецкий геймдев было вложено $2,4 млрд.

Рассмотрим, как это работает во внутриигровых ивентах, а в качестве примера возьмем игру Gold and Goblins, издаваемую AppQuantum.

Иначе говоря, практически все игры в топах используют события для привлечения и удержания пользователей, а также для буста монетизации.

Выяснилось, что в айдлерах такой подход работает средне, потому что в этом жанре (как и в тайкунах) геймплея немного.

Minecraft’s next big update is called The Wild Update and it will add a ton of new nature-related content to the game.

And the next update, The Wild Update or the 1.19 update, is adding even more to the blocky survival game, including a new mangrove biome and ancient cities.

Last December, Mojang added frogs.

In the video, different devs at Mojang answer fan questions about Minecraft and someone asked what happened to the planned fireflies, which had been quietly discarded and were no longer part of the planned Wild Update.

So now, when the Wild Update finally releases sometime this year, it will feature all the mud and frogs fans are excited for, but no fireflies.

While a deal isn’t currently in the works, it doesn’t sound like EA plans to give up anytime soon.

Advertisement*dun-dun*“We don’t comment on rumors and speculation relating to M&A,” EA spokesperson John Reseburg told Kotaku in a statement.

As evidence, EA spent $5 billion over the last year buying up studios to increase its size.

That’s allowed competitors like Quantic Dream and Ubisoft to announce their own big Star Wars projects.

EA also revealed last week that it’s ending its similar 10-year exclusivity deal with FIFA, and beginning in 2023 will rebrand its blockbuster soccer franchise EA Sports FC.

Reality TV has been a part of my life as soon as I could ask “Mommy, what’s teen pregnancy?” So, like, age four.

I remind myself of these things, but when a streaming service presents to me yet another troupe of airbrushed, skinny women, promising the most dramatic season ever, I crawl back to reality TV like a spider stalks its web-wrapped prey.

I won’t apologize, then, for making this despicable list of video games that will entertain you just as much as the corniest reality TV star.

Each entry in this list has a particular type of reality TV fan in mind—the Selling Sunset angels, the hawkish Survivor viewers, the Real Housewives freaks, you’ll all find yourselves here.

This near-constant missing of the mark in cyberpunk games has me guarded.

All this left me ready to stave off cyberpunk games for the foreseeable future until Citizen Sleeper, a recent entry to the genre inspired by table-top RPGs, caught my eye.

But whenever I ask myself what these modern cyberpunk games are actually saying, I can’t find an answer.

In Citizen Sleeper, you play as a copy of a cryogenically frozen person, called a sleeper, who must work to pay off their debts before being disposed of.

Martin said they didn’t approach writing Citizen Sleeper looking to hit all the checkboxes of the cyberpunk genre.

South Korean fighting game player Seon-woo “Infiltration” Lee revealed last night that he’s been barred from attending several major community events, including this year’s Evolution Championship Series (Evo).

While previously unknown, Lee quickly became a household name in the fighting game community thanks to his third-place finish in Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition at Evo 2010.

He spent the next several years earning even more Evo medals and performing well in various fighting games, including Street Fighter x Tekken, Street Fighter V, Samurai Shodown, and Guilty Gear Strive.

Lee also voluntarily stepped away from Capcom’s official Street Fighter tournaments for a year, all the while d…

The upcoming Pokémon GO expansion for the trading card game includes Melmetal VMAX, the original legendary birds, and a wild new Ditto transformation that is unlike anything the TCG has ever seen before.

There have been tons of Ditto cards before, but the one coming July 1 when the Pokémon GO expansion drops is special because it uses stickers to disguise itself as other Pokémon.

Normally just a cute and cuddly HM boss, Bidoof that have a sneaky little Ditto icon in the lower left corner are actually the gooey little imposter in disguise.

Here’s what the transformation looks like in action:Advertisement“Note that the Pokémon that rests on top of Ditto can’t be used competitively in official…

For those who pay for the top tier, PS Plus Premium, you’ll get access to some older PS1 games.

And, at least in the case of Syphon Filter, you’ll now be able to earn trophies while playing this 22-year-old classic.

I probably don’t need to tell you this, but Syphon Filter didn’t have PlayStation trophies when it launched back in 1999 on the original PlayStation console.

This news comes via Sony’s Bend Studio, the original devs behind the first Syphon Filter game.

Syphon Filter (not Siphon Filter, autocorrect) is one of the many PS1 classics that will be available starting June 13 in North and South America.

That’s right, Ugly Sonic makes an appearance in Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, a live-action and computer-animated action-adventure comedy starring John Mulaney and Andy Samberg as the furry duo that’s now available on Disney+.

But none of those cameos has taken people by surprise quite as much as Ugly Sonic.

Ugly Sonic is something of a legend on the internet.

But Ugly Sonic lives on, so be warned: Some minor spoilers for Rescue Rangers are below.

So while you can get them for $40 in the Sonic Origins bundle, pretty soon you won’t be able to buy Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 (& Knuckles), and Sonic CD individually.

This news comes via a report from Reuters published yesterday that details TikTok and parent company ByteDance’s plans to add video games to the video-sharing service.

Meanwhile, a different subsidiary of that company recently announced Marvel Snap, a free-to-play card game from the creators of Hearthstone.

So perhaps there’s a future in which these types of bigger, more advanced mobile games become widely playable through TikTok itself.

TikTok is just the latest example of a non-gaming company trying to shove some games into its already-popular apps and services.

Netflix has recently begun to add games to its app as part of a larger push into gaming.

Genshin Impact just came out of its first-ever delay, and HoYoverse just announced a trove of events, quests, and features.

And Yelan’s elemental skill increases her speed and ‘marks’ any enemies that she runs past, causing them to take damage at the ability’s end.

I’m really enjoying that Yelan’s skill set allows her to play a variety of team roles.

Yes, yes I know “Electro is the weakest element” but it sucked that it used to be the only element that didn’t have a dedicated healer.

Here’s the catch: she heals better when her own health is low, and using that elemental skill takes a chunk out of her own HP.

It kind of doesn’t get any more direct than this.

After discussing his upcoming book, “The Ravaged,” as well as the coming end to The Walking Dead, interviewer Ilaria Urbinati mentions Death Stranding to which the actor replies very directly:Okay, so you got the book going on, you’ve got the final season coming out, then the spinoff, and you’re filming Death Stranding, the video game.

Now before we all start spinning our own speculations about how one might continue the story of Death Stranding, it’s worth mentioning that “second one” could refer perhaps to another game he’s working on with Kojima, or something else entirely.

As a result, getting a seemingly straightforward answer about an …

Nintendo is patenting new tech to help catch cheaters in games like the eternally best-selling Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon 2.

“Such cheating is egregiously prevalent where the gaming environment is extended to multiplayer gaming (particularly multiplayer gaming over the internet),” Nintendo writes in a new filing with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, via Opattack.

But it’s not surprising Nintendo is working on potentially novel solutions to the problem since it faces unique challenges when it comes to console hacking.

Some Splatoon 2 players seemingly hacked opponents to climb their way up the leaderboard.

As Battlefield 2042 continues to languish somewhere in the hell between “failed launch” and “whatever comes next”, developers DICE are making minor tweaks to the game in order to keep things running smoothly.

And while the former lives on as the most popular way to play the game, the latter has now had its 128-player mode removed from the game.

In Breakthrough’s 128 player mode, we feel that the value and impact of an individual player, and squad is reduced due to the increased intensity and chaos of the combat.

I see what they mean, and understand they’re reacting to the concerns of many players, but I’m really bummed out because it was my favourite game mode.

The NFT market, and other blockchain-associated grifts like cryptocurrency, are having a very bad month, as their perceived “value” evaporates and whatever actual monetary value they had falls through the floor.

To which GameStop says: lol.

And you can’t get much more speculative than betting on mass delusion of jpeg ownership.

The company chose today of all days to officially unveil it’s GameStop NFT marketplace with this statement, along with an empty website:What the internet did for communication, blockchains do for value.

It worked, for a little while, though as other “meme stocks” collapse, GameStop—whose share prices are down 40% on the year—isn’t looking too great either.

Given the sheer number of people in games who likely have ADHD, it’s kind of important to avoid making people feel like that.

CI Games (CIG) announced today that it has made a tender offer to buy back all remaining shares of the publishing label, United Label (UNL), best known for Tails of Iron and Röki.

The buy back offer is at PLN18.02 per UNL share in an all cash transaction.

TIGA, the trade association representing the UK video games industry, reported today that employment in the UK’s games developer sector surged by almost 25 per cent between April 2020 and the end of December 2021, from 16,836 to 20,975.

A new Gran Turismo 7 update will be deployed in the coming days, series creator, Kazunori Yamauchi, has confirmed.

Yamauchi took to Twitter to announce the upcoming update via his traditional “silhouette” image featuring several upcoming cars.

No additional details about the new cars were provided just yet, but as discovered by GTPlanet, it’s likely that the Toyota GR010 Hypercar and GoPro Rampage 1970 Camaro are among the new cars being added to the latest Gran Turismo entry.

The answer to the May 22 (337) Wordle is MONEY.

Audio player loading…Asymmetric multiplayer horror game Evil Dead came out on May 13, a thematically appropriate Friday the 13th.

In the first five days after its release, as mentioned in the full year report of the Embracer Group, which owns developer Saber Interactive, and @EmbracerInvestor on Twitter, Evil Dead sold over 500,000 copies.

Originally scheduled for a 2021 release, Evil Dead: The Game was first delayed to February 2022 for polish and to add singleplayer, then again to May.

It seems to have paid off, and Evil Dead has been better-received than Saber Interactive's previous licensed co-op zombie shooter, World War Z.

When's the last time you were excited about a Kickstarter?

I haven't actually backed a game Kickstarter in a long time, but I've kept an eye on plenty over the years.

(Image credit: Future)Imogen Mellor, Features Producer: The most excited I've been about a Kickstarter in recent memory was for the second edition of A Profound Waste of Time.

There are games I've been excited about that have had Kickstarters, but that's despite the Kickstarters.

Audio player loading…Valve's got Final Fantasy working on Steam Deck after a Square Enix update to the launcher broke it earlier this year, and the latest rollout of the experimental launcher for Proton makes it so.

So if that's your MMO of choice, well, go ahead and update to experimental and experience it wherever it is that you take your fancy handheld PC.

The update also has fixes for Elden Ring and DEATHLOOP crashes.

For my part, I'm absolutely gobsmacked by the idea that Gary Grigsby's War in the East and West work on the Steam Deck.

I've got no idea how you'd play those... but now I've got to try.

Audio player loading…About a year ago we spotted Apico, a pretty cool lookin' game about beekeeping and conservation.

In Apico you're a beekeeper and conservationist whose job is to collect, breed, and conserve varieties of bees.

While it's one of those "leave your boring city job behind" games, I'll note it's less Stardew Valley and more free range beekeeping adventure.

The developers of Apico will put part of the income from sales towards national and international beekeeping charities.

You can find Apico on Epic Games, Humble, itch.io, Steam, and Utomik.

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

Strife gave it a shot though, with levels that weren't just linked together in an overworld-style, but changed and evolved.

Most of the actual missions aren't worth covering, being things like a choice between two tasks, "One messy, the other... bloody..." Over the next few, you essentially bop round the town and dismantle the Order piece by piece.

It's 1996, a time when 'lone space marine saves the world' is still considered a fresh take, more or less.

Still, as much as we remember games like Deus Ex that tried something new and succeeded, it's important to remember…

JerryRigEverything creator Zack Nelson distinguishes his channel by reviewing personal tech, mostly smartphones, from a durability angle.

Nelson puts most major new releases through their paces with durability tests that include bending, scratching, and even applying an open flame to the screen.

Surprisingly, the screen on the top level, $650 Deck fares slightly worse than most devices, with its anti-glare coating proving less resistant to scratches.

The channel-favorite flame test ultimately causes no permanent damage to the device's screen, par for the course with IPS displays, but still always a source of amazement for me.

There are thousands of games on Steam, and so any list of the best ones is, in a way, just a list of good PC games in general.

However, we think there are two good reasons to list our favorite Steam games to play right now.

This crossover will run from May 26th to June 9th and bring a barrage of new content and fun challenges.

Noah's Heart is an expansive MMORPG that features vast lands and a lush open world you can totally and willingly get lost in, with the top-notch customisation that you'd expect from the developers of Dragon Raja.

NOAH'S HEART STORY AND VISUALSThe main narrative of Noah's Heart is a bit of a challenge to follow, as players step into the shoes of an adventuring amnesiac who simply follows along with the NPCs he or she meets in the nearest town.

Still, the visuals make up for the lack of story depth (at least, for the moment), as the world of Noah's Heart really does look absolutely gorgeous.

City building simulator Little Cities cracked into the top 10 of the Top Selling list on the Quest Store yesterday, just over a week after launch.

Holy hell, Little Cities has broken into the top 10 best-selling games on the @MetaQuestVR!

It’s an impressive feat for Little Cities, which was widely regarded as the underdog in the recent battle for best city simulator on Quest, with Cities: Skylines spin-off Cities: VR releasing just a few weeks before it.

For Little Cities to make it onto the top of the list, even for a brief moment, should signal that it’s selling quite well at the moment compared to other staple titles.

Little Cities is available now on the Quest platform.

Qualcomm has revealed its latest AR glasses reference design, which it offers up to other companies as a blueprint for building their own AR devices.

Now the company’s latest design, based on Snapdragon XR2, takes the wire out of the equation.

In addition to Snapdragon XR2, the AR glasses include Qualcomm’s FastConnect 6900 chip which equips it with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.

That makes this AR glasses reference design a pretty good snapshot of the current state of AR glasses that can be mass produced, and a glimpse of what some companies will be offering in the near future.

Qualcomm says its latest AR glasses reference design is “available for select partners,” as of today, and plans to m…

A detailed report from The Information charts the decisions behind the apparent years-long delay of Apple’s upcoming AR/VR headset.

But Apple’s former Chief Design Officer Jony Ive apparently “balked” at the idea, instead insisting the headset be standalone.

The headset apparently has 14 cameras in total when including those used for passthrough, positional tracking, eye tracking, face tracking, hand tracking, and body tracking – causing “headaches” for hardware and algorithm engineers.

The core gameplay challenges you’ll encounter are combat, platforming/parkour and puzzles.”SixSense now says that the game will launch on Steam for PC VR headsets later in 2022.

Are you going to be playing Lonn later this year?

A new report from The Verge claims that Meta’s Reality Labs division comprises of over 17,000 people.

Reality Labs is the division that works on all virtual and augmented reality hardware and software, as well as Portal, the company’s dedicated video call hardware.

This means that in just over a year, Meta’s Reality Labs division has made approximately 7,000 new hires.

The 17,000 people working at Reality Labs specifically then equates to 21% of the entire company — 4% higher than a year ago.

Location based VR company Zero Latency is getting rid of the backpacks.

The new offering replaces this with a Vive Focus 3 – the content is now streamed wirelessly from non-worn PCs via Wi-Fi 6E.

Zero Latency has locations in 26 countries, so it’s unclear how many will get Focus 3 installed, but the company says this enables full resolution streaming.

The current Zero Latency experiences include Far Cry VR, a zombie survival adventure called Undead Arena, a space mission called Singularity, and a competitive title called Sol Raiders.

Those experiences use the VR controller attached to a custom gun accessory, but Zero Latency says it’s also exploring using Focus 3’s controller-free hand trac…

Apple is ramping up development of the operating system for its headset, with a plan to launch in 2023, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports.

Qualcomm showed a new reference design for AR glasses with the XR2 chipset handling a wireless connection to a nearby phone, PC, or processing puck.

Qualcomm says the new “Wireless AR Smart Viewer” built by Goertek offers a diagonal field of view of just about 40 degrees.

The new glasses design is the latest in a series of headsets from Qualcomm meant to make it easier for the company’s partners to make a product using each design as a reference.

A wired AR Smart Viewer design was announced last year powered by Qualcomm’s older and less expensive XR1 platform.

Qualcomm revealed a reference design for a VR headset based on XR2 back in 2020.

Zero Latency, one of the longest running VR attractions in the out-of-home VR space, is dropping the backpack PCs that were once the backbone of the platform.

Now the company says it’s moving to standalone Vive Focus 3 headsets with wireless delivery of PC-rendered VR content.

Early on the system relied on a custom backpack PC paired with OSVR HDK 2 headsets and an optical overhead tracking system.

On the content side, Zero Latency locations continue to offer the same experiences as before, which …
