Google подвела ежегодные итоги в Google Play, включая игровую категорию, и выбрала лучшие приложения 2022 года.

Он призван расширить геймплей экшен-RPG и добавить ещё больше контента.

В сервисе также можно послушать персональный плейлист. Похожие итоги подвели в Spotify и Apple Music.

Компанию он основал вместе со своим другом Мэттом Деймоном, который сыграет главную роль в дебютной ленте.

По его словам, это самый амбициозный проект Quantic Dream.

Миллион пришёлся на версии для ПК, Switch, Xbox и PS5.

Акция будет только в США, Канаде, Великобритании и Евросоюзе.

Возможно, в ближайшее время экшен анонсируют для консолей.

С собственным сыном Мэйсоном Ли в главной роли.

Фильм вдохновлён реальной историей.

Сериал стартует на HBO Max 15 января 2023 года.

Шоу «Одни из нас» станет адаптацией игры The Last of Us, вышедшей в 2013 году.

Шоу расскажет историю контрабандиста Джоэла, которому поручили доставить девочку Элли в другой город через много лет после пандемии, ставшей катастрофической для человеческой цивилизации.

Владельцев Steam Deck должно быть больше, считают в Valve.

Valve обещает дарить по одному Steam Deck на 512 гигабайт каждую минуту прямого эфира TGA случайному зрителю.

Если вы прошли по всем требованиям, можете зарегистрироваться на главной странице мероприятия и ждать начала шоу.

За подачу заявки дарят анимированный стикер — его выдадут, даже если аккаунт не подходит для участия в розыгрыше.

Трансляция The Game Awards 2022 стартует в ночь c 8-го на 9 декабря.

Он поделился, что Star Wars Eclipse в значительной мере отличается от предыдущих работ команды.

Как и в других играх Quantic Dream, в «Затмении» реализуют систему разветвлённого повествования со множеством исходов.

Star Wars Eclipse — самый амбициозный проект Quantic Dream, уверен Кейдж .

Star Wars Eclipse не станет чем-то вроде Detroit, но в другой обёртке.

Когда девелоперы решились делать Star Wars Eclipse, у них не было заготовленных заранее идей.

ATLUS подсчитала количество проданных копий серии Persona и поделилась ими в свежем пресс-релизе.

Например, все игры франшизы купили более 16,8 миллиона раз.

Переиздание для новых платформ, а именно для ПК, Switch, Xbox и PS5, купили более миллиона раз.

Переиздание для новых платформ, а именно для ПК, Switch, Xbox и PS5, купили более миллиона раз.

Все игры линейки Persona 5, в которую включают оригинальную Persona 5, ремастер Persona 5 Royal, а также спин-оффы Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight и Persona 5 Strikers, купили более 8,3 миллиона раз.

Canis Majoris — рабочее название ремейка первой части «Ведьмака» — выйдет лишь после релиза Polaris — старта новой трилогии во вселенной.

Разработка проектов будет идти параллельно, и в ремейке будут частично использовать материалы и технологии из новой трилогии.

В предыдущем разговоре с инвесторами Кичиньский говорил, что Polaris выйдет не раньше 2025 года.

Однако спин-офф Sirius, за который отвечает американская студия The Molasses Flood, не будет зависеть от этих сроков, заверил топ-менеджер.

Успех связали с резким ростом продаж Cyberpunk 2077 после релиза патча 1.6 и аниме Edgerunners.

Тодд Говард (Todd Howard) раскрыл факт разработки новой мобильной игры в Bethesda.

Гейм-дизайнер в интервью Лексу Фридману (Lex Fridman) не поделился подробностями, но отметил, что «влюблён в неё».

Разработчик сказал, что игра отличается комплексным геймплеем и не рассчитана на короткие сессии:Мы обнаружили, что в наших играх, например Fallout Shelter, люди cидят по один-два часа.

Они будут просто сидеть и играть в неё [новую мобильную игру].

Много людей будут играть в неё по несколько часов в день.

Страница инди-хита Neon White появилась в новозеландском PS Store.

В топе новинок 2022 года она сейчас располагается на 9 месте с 98 % положительных отзывов.

Кирилл Волошин отметил удачное смешение жанров и динамичный геймплей Neon White: Обзор — Главный хит лета?

Neon White номинировалась на Golden Joystick Awards, где не смогла выиграть призы.

На The Game Awards проект участвует как в основной премии, так и пользовательском голосовании за игру года.

На них впервые можно увидеть исполнительницу роли Сары — её играет дочь актрисы Тандиве Ньютон (Thandiwe Newton; «Мир Дикого Запада», «Рок-н-рольщик») Нико Паркер («Дамбо» (2019), «Воспоминания»).

Его играет Ламар Джонсон (Lamar Johnson; «Люди Икс: Тёмный Феникс», «Ваша честь»).

Его играет Ник Офферман (Nick Offerman; «Парки и зоны отдыха», «Программисты»).

Её играет Анна Торв (Anna Torv; «Охотник за разумом», «Тихий океан»).

Его играет Педро Паскаль (Pedro Pascal; «Нарко», «Мандалорец»).

Когда люди предлагали снять фильм, они хотели рассказать историю Fallout 3 или Fallout 4, и это было ну… такое себе….

Давайте расскажем здесь историю, которая вписывается в придуманную нами вселенную, не нарушает никаких правил, может ссылаться на игры, но не повторяет их.

Действие сериала происходит в том же мире, но шоу по-своему уникально и дополняет вселенную.

Кроме того, сериал смогут посмотреть люди, которые не играли в игры и не могут почувствовать, насколько безумно крута Fallout.

Пока Monster Hunter Rise доступна только на ПК и Nintendo Switch, но скоро может покорить новые платформы.

Сайт Insider Gaming сообщает, что 20 января 2023-го игру выпустят на PlayStation и Xbox.

Подробности:Дополнение Sunbreak выйдет на PlayStation и Xbox весной того же года.

На PS5 и Xbox Series игра будет работать в 4K при 60 fps.

Анонс новых версий состоится в ближайшее время — вероятно, 8 декабря на мероприятии The Game Awards 2022.

SEGA и Sonic Team озвучили планы на контентную поддержку Sonic Frontiers в 2023 году.

Вас ждут как минимум три обновления, в одно из которых войдёт бесплатное сюжетное DLC с товарищами синего ёжика.

Третье обновление:Новые играбельные персонажи — Тейлз, Наклз и Эми.

Когда выйдет каждый из апдейтов — неизвестно.

Разработчики отмечают, что часть представленного контента ещё может измениться.

Издательство Akupara Games и студия Clover Bite объявили, что версии Grime для PlayStation и Xbox выйдут через пару недель — 15 декабря.

Кроме того, в назначенный день на всех платформах выпустят бесплатное дополнение Colors of Rot.

Напомним, Grime — сюрреалистичная метроидвания с элементами соулслайка и видом сбоку, где главным героем выступает каменное создание, на месте головы которого зияет небольшая чёрная дыра.

Вот что о ней писал наш Кирилл Волошин :В Grime есть проблемы с гейм-дизайном и оптимизацией, но они не так уж значительны.

Так что поклонникам жанра — однозначно играть.

Несколько источников переслали журналисту Тому Хендерсону (Tom Henderson) изображения и видео из Beyond Good & Evil 2.

В материалах, которые получил журналист, Beyond Good & Evil 2 выглядит очень сыро — на пустых планетах расставлены примитивные здания, собранные из блоков.

По уровню детализацию нынешняя версия BG&E2 даже рядом не стоит с тем, что разработчики демонстрировали на E3 2018.

Хендерсон взял комментарий о состоянии игры у Ubisoft: «Производство Beyond Good & Evil 2 продолжается.

В этом году Beyond Good & Evil 2 отняла звание главного игрового долгостроя у Duke Nukem Forever.

Nintendo извинилась за проблемы с Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. В игре начался 1-й сезон онлайновых дуэлейУ свежей игры серии Pokemon с момента релиза масса проблем с производительностью и багами, которые разозлили геймеров. Игра получила обновление 1.1.0.

Ubisoft has released some surprise DLC for Assassin's Creed Valhalla that features a character from the next game, Assassin's Creed Mirage.

Hive, the social media platform growing in popularity as a Twitter alternative, has shut down its servers to address security issues.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie has debuted even more new footage in a bunch of regional adverts which are beginning to appear online.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's first post launch patch (Version 1.1.0) has arrived alongside a promise from Nintendo to take the games' tech problems seriously.

It's time to stock up on those stocking stuffers. Delight family members with secretly dirt cheap gaming goodness!

Another closed beta for upcoming thwack ‘em up Street Fighter 6 is scheduled to commence punching on December 16th, Capcom have revealed.

Watch on YouTube Street Fighter 6's second closed beta is much the same as the first, but with more players.

Luke, Jamie, Ryu, Chun-Li, Guile, Kimberly, Juri, and me ol’ mucker Ken Masters are on the chinning roster for this second closed beta.

The first closed beta was held in October, and Capcom have tweeted that everyone who took part in the first closed beta will automatically get a spot in the second.

You can read the full deets about Street Fighter 6’s second closed beta here.

Need For Speed Unbound technically isn't out until December 2nd, but you can scoot in right now if you've got Game Pass and are willing to download EA's app.

I haven't played a Need For Speed game since I was 13 and this wasn't on my radar at all, but yeah, sure, let's drive.

Unbound didn't come up when I searched the store on the Xbox app where Game Pass lives, so I had to scroll down from the home page and click through to EA Play, then select Unbound.

Need For Speed Unbound comes out for real on December 2nd.

It'll be available on Steam, Epic Games Store and the EA app for £60/$70/€70.

Romance has never been Bethesda's strong suit, from Skyrim's barebones marriage system to Fallout 4's bonus-XP-granting fade-to-black cutscenes.

Starfield will be a little more nuanced than that, suggests executive producer Todd Howard, offering more complex romance options than Fallout's.

We have a number of companions, but four of them... we go, I won't say super complex, but more complex than we have.

On a less romantic front, Howard mentions they've binned spaceship fuel requirements because it turned out to be a "fun killer".

Starfield is due to come out at some point next year, releasing on both Steam and Game Pass.

In a game about someone navigating the competing pressures and existential angst inherent to choosing a career, it seems appropriate that an update would let them sack it all off and go fishing.

Sable hasn't quite done that, because yesterday's update sends you hover-biking off after enough fish to earn the right to don the new, professional mask of a desert angler.

To nab your first fishing rod you'll need to head back to Sansee, where "a fabled angler known as Yoshi" has just set up shop.

Fishing takes place in its own new mini-game, which the update notes don't describe but I'd presume plays like all the other videogame fishing mini-games.

Sable is sadly no longer on Game Pass, but it is…

This week, Rick Lane goes back to the future in Half-Life 2: VR Mod.

The VR mod doesn't include the same click 'n' flick object-grabbing system as Half-Life: Alyx, instead opting for a more straightforward "hold down the trigger to pick-up".

In short, Source Mod VR Team has done a fine, fine job porting Half-Life 2 to VR.

Half-Life 2: VR Mod is a fantastic adaptation of a classic.

Who knows if we'll ever see another Half-Life game, let alone another VR Half-Life game, but until that day comes, this is a perfectly acceptable stopgap.

Asassin's Creed Valhalla's free, final content update has arrived a week early, sending Eivor off to North America for one last hurrah.

There are actually two links to Mirage, because this final chapter features *more* of its protagonist, Basim, who Valhalla persevere-ers will have already met.

Assassin's Creed lore is so spirally at this point I cannot even.

I'd argue that Azeroth's unending expansion has taken the shine off a world that used to positively sparkle.

Still, no matter what I think about World Of Warcraft today, it still holds a special place in my heart as an important formative experience.

Even the time capsule that's Classic WoW probably couldn't capture the same buzz of the past, mainly because I, as a being of flesh and bone, am not a teenager anymore.

But I'd argue there's one place that still captures the essence of WoW more than WoW itself nowadays: YouTube.

Or to be more specific, channels which provide hour-long music and ambience from some of the game's most memorable zones.

The free 3.6 Orion update for Paradox’s spacey grand strategy Stellaris is live now, and it's done that, but in a way I hadn’t quite imagined.

What's better: mantling or cool swearing?

Swearing in video games is often clumsy, aiming for edgy or rebellious or gritty but coming off posturing and embarrassing.

When I think cool swearing, the games of Grasshopper Manufacture jump to mind.

But against a backdrop of mundane swearing, you do have some cool swearing.

But if you gave more examples of cool swearing, reader dear, my crime would merely be keeping bad company.

“When people wanted to make it a movie, they wanted to tell the story of Fallout 3 or tell the story of Fallout 4,” Howard said.

“For this, it was ‘Let’s do something that exists in the world of Fallout.’ It’s not retelling a game’s story.

It can reference things in the games, but isn’t a retelling of the games.

Nolan, according to Howard, is a longtime fan of Fallout 3, which is why he jumped at the opportunity to create this series.

As for a release date, the Fallout series likely won’t arrive until late 2023, or even 2024.

The latest official set of Magic: The Gathering cards, The Brothers’ War, includes a series of cards featuring Transformers, Hasbro’s legacy property involving shape-changing robots.

Next, the company is revamping a few other coveted cards, revising their art in a series of Transformers-themed Secret Lair drops.

Note that these Transformers cards are considered part of the Universes Beyond series, a program that includes cards featuring art from Warhammer 40,000, Fortnite, and even an upcoming Dr. Who themed set.

“No debate; it’s the best movie ever,” the creative director of Bethesda Game Studios explained on a recent podcast.

The adventure game Bethesda Softworks is now developing is a “bucket list” project, the kind of thing he’s wanted to do for around a dozen years.

“I met some people [at Lucasfilm] and I pitched them back in ’09, and I pitched them this Indiana Jones concept,” Howard told Lex Fridman, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology computer scientist and podcast host.

[…] If you like Indiana Jones, it is a definite love letter to Indiana Jones and everything with it.”Fridman pressed Howard for more details on the game, but didn’t really get anywhere.

Aside from the avalanche of new series that pour onto television and streaming services every season — as well as the best anime the year has to offer — there’s a plethora of fantastic anime to watch that are appropriate for every month and mood, including winter.

Here are some of the best anime to get you in the mood for the winter season!

Mushi-Shi is an anime with an overall mood that feels at once cold and comforting, making it an ideal series to watch during the winter.

The latest prized possession Pokémon Scarlet and Violet players can strive towards is the scarce, and extremely stupid, three-segment Dudunsparce.

Then, roughly 23 years after its initial release, Dunsparce finally got a big evolution in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: Dudunsparce.

Each Dudunsparce has a head and tail, so the three-segment Dudunsparce is a whopping five pieces in all.

The hunt for the three-segment Dudunsparce is a true labor of love.

That makes the shiny three-segment Dudunsparce one of the rarest, if not the rarest, Pokémon in Paldea.

It’s looking like Sonic Frontiers still has legs on it.

The “open-zone” Sonic game, which blends traditional 3D and 2D Sonic levels with open world exploration, is going to be getting a whole lot of content down the line.

So now it seems like Sega and Sonic Team are giving the game the live service treatment.

One of the biggest genres in modern board gaming — cooperative games — effectively didn’t exist two decades ago.

On the one side were traditional, family-friendly board games that Americans had been storing in their hallway closets for generations.

Fireside Games co-founder Justin De Witt, creator of the hit cooperative board game Castle Panic, remembers the moment things changed for him.

What has happened to board games?

Today, more than a decade after it was first conceived, Castle Panic Second Edition arrives at retail.

It’s been 37 years since the news first broke about a black bear found dead in Georgia after ingesting about 70 pounds of cocaine, which apparently fell out of a dead smuggler’s plane and landed in the wilderness.

Now the first trailer for Cocaine Bear has landed, and it’s wall-to-wall mayhem: part Stephen King’s Cujo, part Tucker & Dale Vs.

Evil, with maybe a little bit of Reno 911!

Ray Liotta features in Cocaine Bear, the last film he completed before his death in early 2022.

Cocaine Bear will debut in theaters on Feb. 24, 2023.

From the big, like Star Wars and Marvel, to the small, like Doogie Howser and even Turner & Hooch.

But the most unlikely one might be Willow, Lucasfilm’s sequel TV series based on the 1988 fantasy blockbuster of the same name.

So, who is 2022’s Willow series for?

It’s a smorgasbord of archetypes, reflecting both the 1988 Willow’s core character lineup and the greatest hits of modern YA high fantasy.

It turns out Willow (1988) was only mostly dead, after all.

Marvel Snap’s latest update brings with it two new pools of cards, a new kind of earnable currency, and some fairly impactful changes to existing cards.

All of those changes are nerfs, and they’re to popular cards like Angela, Mysterio, and Onslaught.

They’ll probably impact at least one deck you rely on for Marvel Snap, so here’s what to know before you go into your next match.

“[T]hose extra 2/0 Illusions end up being quite beneficial, so we’re lowering his base Power,” the developer explains.

Marvel Snap is available now on Android, iOS, and Windows PC.

Imagine the gruff war heroes you find in Warhammer Fantasy, now sporting garish cybernetic monocles and wielding chainsaws, guns, and grenades.

Darktide’s map, on the other hand, is a holographic projection of a single location — “Tertium Hive.” A Hive, in the 40K lore, is a densely packed arcology housing billions of people.

For much of a typical Darktide mission you’ll be trapped underground, navigating an endless sprawl of industrial and sci-fi corridors.

Still, knowing Fatshark’s previous work, I’m confident Darktide will be in much better shape in just a few months’ time.

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide was released on Nov. 30 on Windows PC.

Bethesda's Todd Howard has shed more light on Amazon's upcoming Fallout adaptation.

Speaking on Lex Fridman's podcast, the show's executive producer stated that the upcoming series is "not a retelling of a game story".

While also, people who haven't played the games, who can't experience how crazy cool Fallout is, can watch the series."

"When people wanted to make a movie they wanted to tell the story of Fallout 3 or tell the story of Fallout 4, and it was meh," he explained.

This announcement followed an earlier one that revealed Yellowjackets' Ella Purnell would also be starring in the Fallout adaptation.

Ubisoft's final update for Assassin's Creed Valhalla is now available - a little earlier than expected!

There are still a few surprises left in store, however - as spotted by Destiny dataminer MAK Moderator - including armour sets themed around Destiny and Monster Hunter characters.

Destiny's Crucible boss Lord Shaxx and Saint-14 will both see their armour sets recreated in Valhalla.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla's Destiny and Monster Hunter cosmetic armour sets.

Memorably, the Ancient Egypt-set Assassin's Creed Origins included a Final Fantasy crossover that let you ride around on a Chocobo.

Final Fantasy 16 has now been rated in Brazil by the Sistema de Classificação Indicativa Brasileiro, which states the game is "not recommended for children under 16 years old".

As a result of the classification, speculation is growing that the release date of Final Fantasy 16 may be revealed soon.

Watch on YouTube Final Fantasy 16 "Ambition"A document alongside the Brazilian rating lists the likes of nudity, prostitution, drug use, suicide, torture, and gratuitous violence as elements in the game.

This isn't the first time prostitution has been included in a Final Fantasy game though - fans of Final Fantasy 7 will be aware of Don Corneo and the infamous Wall Market section of the game.

Fina…

In a nice surprise, Disney Dreamlight Valley's promised December update has been significantly bolstered - with the addition of Stitch (from Lilo and Stich) and a variety of Christmas extras, all on top of the previously-announced Toy Story expansion.

Stitch will be the third new character included in the free update, after Toy Story's Woody and Buzz, as the popular Disney Pixar live service life simulation continues to grow in size.

The Xbox Game Pass account has been teasing its followers with a cryptic clue about an upcoming release for its subscription service, and many believe that it will be Lego Star Wars.

The Game Pass Twitter handle began its own version of a hangman-like teaser a couple of days ago, merely saying it was a fun little guessing game being shared for "no reason in particular".

Nintendo has apologised for the performance issues of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Today brings a new patch for the game, which makes a handful of changes along with "select bug fixes".

As part of the patch notes, Nintendo has acknowledged the widespread performance issues found within the game and documented on social media.

Watch on YouTube Pokémon Scarlet / Pokémon Violet - DF Tech Review"We are aware that players may encounter issues that affect the games' performance," said Nintendo.

The update is approximately 1GB of memory according to the patch notes, which is a sizable addition.

A bullet hell barrage that wants you to be a better player, Gunvein brings a confident blend of thoughtful elegance and unyielding intensity.

Let's be clear - Gunvein is very much a purebred bullet hell shooter.

That's not to say it is anything like a watered down shooting game; far from it.

So far, that description might fit a considerable number of other purebred bullet hell shooters - lock shot aside.

But again, good shooting game design is often about innovating within the confines of the form, rather than trying to reinvent the genre.

Warframe's highly anticipated The Duviri Paradox expansion might be delayed, but today brings a little something new to tide players over until its arrival next year, courtesy of the survival-based Lua's Prey update, available now on all platforms.

В 2021 году Маргус Линнамяэ (Margus Linnamäe), который на тот момент был крупнейшим акционером ZA/UM (и, собственно, на чьи деньги и была разработана Disco Elysium), решил продать свою долю в студии.

Иными словами, Компус взял деньги у студии на ее же покупку.

По этому делу уже прошли первые заседания, в результате которых 28 октября был наложен арест на контрольный пакет Tütreke в ZA/UM.

Косвенно на это пока указывает лишь то, что правами на Disco Elysium занимается подразделение ZA/UM, которое называется Yessirnosir.

Арбитражный суд Москвы временно приостановил производство по делу о нарушении прав, ведущихся между VK и « Паритет лифт ».

Некоторое время назад компания «Паритет лифт» обратилась в суд с иском к VK и My.Games.

В исковом заявлении «Паритет лифт» потребовала запретить компаниям использовать этот товарный знак.

Дело в том, что официально торговый знак «Балда» в отношении игровых программ действительно закреплен за «Паритет лифт».

Оценка охраноспособности достаточно субъективна, и вполне возможно, что обозначение, которое мы считаем нерегистрируемым, существует как товарный знак в Реестре.

Общий скепсис публично выразил Сергей Орловский , основатель студии Nival , часть интеллектуальных прав и активов которой сегодня принадлежит VK.

It also alleges Panda Global, Nintendo's chosen partner for the first official Super Smash Bros tournament, had a hand in the closure.

Both the 2022 Smash World Tour Championship, which was due to run from December 9 to 11 in San Antonio, Texas, and 2023 Smash World Tour have been cancelled.

However, the organisers do not entirely blame Nintendo; instead, they claim that Panda Global had been telling potential partners that Smash World Tour was going to be shut down.

Farreng continues: "And while I was working on this resolution I realised how the video games industry was important at a European level.

As all the cultural industries had a drop off of about 30%, the video games industry was the only one to increase, by about 9%."

It's proven that girls who play video games will be more often oriented towards scientific careers.

"It's simple, I think nobody knows anything about video games, policy makers don't really know the sector," Farreng says.

The Super Mario Bros Movie will be releasing in several territories at the end of March 2023, ahead of a second wave of releases in the first week of April.

As reported by VGC, Universal Pictures confirmed yesterday that the upcoming Nintendo and Illumination movie will be releasing as early as March 22, 2023, in Belgium.

Most of South America will see the film release on March 30, same as Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.

On April 6, The Super Mario Bros Movie will launch in the rest of South America and Italy, before a US release on April 7.

The film was initially due to release around Christmas 2022, but was pushed back to Spring 2023 earlier this year.

The release of Netflix's Cyberpunk: Edgerunners has resulted in an earnings spike for CD Projekt Red during its third quarter.

The anime-spin off for Netflix produced by CD Projekt and Japanese animation studio Trigger was also attributed to the company’s increased quarterly revenue.

We are pleased with the synergy created by the expansion of our franchise," said CD Projekt CEO Adam Kicinski.

At the time, CD Projekt Red's vice president of business development, Michał Nowakowski, said that the studio is "totally committed to developing the Cyberpunk IP further."

CD Projekt also said it is currently developing a third IP, Project Hadar, which is not related to Cyberpunk 2077 or The Witcher.

When Nintendo uploaded the first promotional image for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, fans were quick to clown on the plumber for his concave ass.

The looming question on everyone’s mind was whether or not Mario’s one-time nemesis Donkey Kong would have his ass nerfed too.

And now that Halo Infinite’s iteration of Forge is officially available in beta form, the Halo community has been hard at work bringing the franchise’s legacy into the modern era.

For the most part, these bugs affect two things: Some textures don’t seem to always load correctly, and it’s very easy to get stuck in a grav lift (this happened on multiple Forge maps by different creators).

These maps are most suitable for custom games as, currently, there’s no matchmaking for Forge maps.

Actually, the poop piece goes back far enough that I can spin an entire history of what is formally known as LEGO part 6275030.

Some people will try to tell you that the brown swirl piece is actually a cupcake piece that LEGO has re-colored and re-used as poop.

And when LEGO needs to represent poop—which they need to do more often than you might expect—the company eschews the actual cupcake piece, and instead uses piece 6275030 aka the actual poop piece.

This year marked the first time the poop piece was included in… The Office LEGO set based on the popular TV show.

Yesterday, Marvel Snap was updated and for the most part, the update was well received.

Marvel Snap is all about speed, random chaos, and quick matches.

But, a new expensive store bundle is a good reminder that even a game as nice as Marvel Snap is still ready and willing to take all your money.

AdvertisementNow, to be clear, in terms of what you get for your cash this bundle isn’t horrible.

So, value-wise, this bundle isn’t too outrageous.

However, while John Lennon had at least modest claim to tout The Beatles as “bigger than Jesus,” Chris Pratt voicing Mario is no such case.

In terms of sheer accuracy, my favorite vocal performance goes to Mario’s Brazillian voice actor, Raphael Rossatto.

Mamoru Miyano, of Persona 5 fame, also knocks it out of the park as Mario’s Japanese voice actor.

However, Rossatto and Miyano aren’t just great Mario voices by virtue of their impressive resumes, but because they are trained voice actors, unlike Pratt.

AdvertisementMario voice frustrations aside, the movie will likely still do gangbusters at the box office by virtue of it being a Mario movie with stellar animation by Illumination Studios.

In the wake of Nintendo being Nintendo and unceremoniously canceling the Smash World Tour, one of the year’s biggest esports tournaments dedicated to all things Super Smash Bros., copious folks in the game’s community have come out in protest.

Out today on the Nintendo Switch, Front Mission 1st: Remake puts you in the shoes of a disgraced soldier turned mercenary named Lloyd Clive who’s searching for his lost fiancé amidst a brutal war between two superpowers.

Like Tactics Ogre Reborn before it, 1st is a remake of a remake.

Tactics Ogre Reborn also has full voice acting, another feature 1st Reborn could have really benefited from.

What 1st Reborn does have going for it are crisp 3D visuals that retain the tactical view while making rivers, foliage, and urban landscapes look vibrant and detailed.

Say what you will about the performance issues with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet (PSV), it can’t take away from some of the Pokédex entries.

We’ve compiled some of our favorite entries, which is to say, the most messed up ones.

It’s worth knowing that those Pokédex entries change based on which version of the game you’re playing, which is typical for the series.

To complement the new realistic mode, the game is also adding realistic borders.

Now ray tracing seems to regularly drag my frame rate down to 40 fps, with most other optional settings at low or medium.

PC Gamer editor Fraser Brown, who has a significantly more powerful rig than I do—an RTX 3080 Ti and a 10th gen Intel CPU—hasn't been able to play with ray tracing at all.

AblaZe - TyrRahu AsuraEarly Sakura - OokuninushiArtic Abyss - PoseidonWe're starting off the Aether Gazer tier list with Tyr - he is a self-reliant powerhouse without needing to rely on signature Functors.

This is thanks to his skill that enhances his damage percentage by the thousands (while most characters have a ceiling of hundreds).

Of course, her standout aspect stems from her first skill that randomly grants buffs (purple, yellow and green that bolster self-attack, gain rage points and self-heal).

Websites can now add a button to let you remotely launch a URL on your Quest.

Clicking the link will navigate to an ‘Open in VR’ interface on Oculus.com asking which headset you want to launch on.

The chosen URL can be a regular website or an immersive WebXR experience.

Provided your headset is powered on and connected to the internet, clicking ‘Open’ will automatically launch its Meta Quest Browser and navigate to the URL, so when you put your headset the page will already be loaded.

Property 3D space hosting platform Matterport is the first major WebXR platform to implement Quest Web Launch.

Gorilla Tag is launching on the Quest Store after gathering more than 4.5 million monkeys and nearly 46,000 reviews without a public store listing.

The free-to-play game from Another Axiom launches officially on the Meta Quest Store on December 15, just in time to make monke Christmas on countless new Quest 2s being opened through the holidays.

The game mode is simple tag, for up to 3 players, or infection mode, with 4 or more.

Crossplay with the PC versions of the game, so play with anyone on any platform.

Available today on Quest through App Lab, AmazeVR and Megan Thee Stallion’s VR concert ‘Enter Thee Hottieverse’ is the blueprint for a properly immersive, made-for-VR concert experience.

The result is the VR concert experience ‘Enter The Hottieverse’, which first launched as a location-based experience available in AMC theatres around the US, but is available more widely on Quest headsets from today via App Lab.

It’s the only element of the traditional concert experience that’s missing, but it’s also mostly forgivable.

Coming from flat projections of 2D filmed performances, this immersive 3D world created by AmazeVR for Megan Thee Stallion is on a whole other level.

If you’re a fan of Megan…

Indie VR hit Gorilla Tag has been staggeringly popular despite only being available thus far on Quest’s App Lab.

Now set for release on the main Quest store on December 15th, it will launch as the most-rated game on the entire store, even surpassing Beat Saber, one of VR’s best known apps.

App Lab is Meta’s ‘unlisted’ app store for Quest, which allows developers a way onto the platform but precludes them from being promoted or easily found through the main Quest store that most customers see.

And now the game is finally headed to the main Quest store, where it’s destined to only become more popular.

Developer Kerestell Smith has announced a Gorilla Tag release date of December 15th on the m…

Sony announced mocopi, a Bluetooth body tracking kit launching soon in Japan.

IMU-based systems require per-user calibration, are subject to drifting, and don’t give the same quality as true positional tracking systems like SteamVR “Lighthouse”.

VRChat CTO Jesse Joudry said mocopi will enable full body tracking on standalone headsets without needing a PC, but the exact details of this integration have yet to be announced.

IMU-based body tracking systems have existed for years, though current systems are expensive.

And while HaritoraX and SlimeVR require a PC, mocopi trackers communicate with a smartphone app via Bluetooth.

First released in early access on Steam in 2018, VR roguelite COMPOUND hit its 1.0 release on PC VR earlier this year and is now set to launch on Quest 2 for the first time next week on December 8th.

Compound is a VR roguelite with a unique pixel-art style and an arsenal of fun weaponry with which to experiment.

Now McKechnie has announced that Compound is set to launch on Quest 2 next week on December 8th for $20, the same price as the PC VR version.

McKechnie says the Quest version of Compound includes the full contents of the PC VR version, except for leaderboards and achievements.

Unfortunately Compound will be available on Quest 2 but not the original Quest.

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners Chapter 2: Retribution releases early in 2023 on Steam and PSVR 2.

Saints & Sinners Chapter 2: Retribution from Skydance Interactive launches December 1 on the Quest store.

We reached out for clarity after a PlayStation Store listing showed a PS5 version of The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners Tourist Edition bundled with Chapter 2: Retribution on PSVR 2.

Pico standalones have been slated to get Saints & Sinners as well.

The Chapter 2: Retribution edition of the game is priced $39.99 on the PlayStation Store.

Razer, the popular peripheral company, today announced the free release of the Interhaptics haptic authoring tool which is designed to make it faster and easier for developers to create compelling haptic effects for multiple haptic devices.

Now free for developers to use, the Haptic Composer tool from Interhaptics provides a visual authoring system for developers to build haptic effects for various controllers and devices.

Different devices have different types of haptic engines in them which means different haptic capabilities and different methods for triggering them.

Instead of dealing with a different haptic tool for each controller or device, Interhaptics allows developers to build and…

DPVR E4 is a new wired SteamVR headset with the same resolution as Quest 2 but wider field of view.

Its current E3 PC VR headset lacks positional tracking or input out of the box, but supports the Nolo aftermarket tracking system and controllers.

The new E4 has four cameras for inside-out tracking of the headset and its Quest-like controllers.

The headset has a flip-up halo strap design, so you can quickly view the real world without taking it off.

It is said to weigh just 400 grams, making it the lightest PC VR headset on the market.

Is Myst sequel Riven coming to VR?

Almost 30 years after first envisioning Myst island, what’s it like seeing that world at night and visiting it with others?

I put those questions to Cyan co-founder Rand Miller along with development director Hannah Gamiel and creative director Eric A. Anderson as they joined me for a round of mini golf playing Mighty Coconut’s Walkabout Mini Golf version of Myst island.

“If you were satisfied with the Myst remake, you’ll likely be satisfied with what we’re doing with Riven,” said Anderson.

“Let’s just say we’re getting pretty good at VR,” Miller added later.

In his video series introducing aspiring developers to the basics of game development, Super Smash Bros creator Masahiro Sakurai recommends viewers give VR a try to understand what it does uniquely well.

Though best known as the creator and director of the Super Smash Bros series, the first game in the series was actually his fourth game.

Still, I recommend you overlook these downsides and give VR racing a try, even just once.

Motion sickness is always a possibility, but for games that separate your viewpoint and direction of travel, VR is truly the perfect fit.

Back to the topic at hand…Despite clearly appreciating the unique experience that a VR headset can bring to a game, Sakurai hasn’t…

Elon Musk’s brain-machine interface (BMI) company Neuralink has been fairly quiet since it last showed off a live trial of the company’s implant in a macaque early last year.

Although originally scheduled for October 31st, Musk says a “show & tell” update is coming on November 30th.

The event is said to take place on November 30th at 6:00 PM PT (local time here).

Nov 30, 6 pm PT pic.twitter.com/I2J89Q7CYW — Neuralink (@neuralink) November 24, 2022The company says in its application FAQ it hasn’t yet begun clinical trials, although BMI text input may be difficult to prove in non-human subjects, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

Like many of Musk’s startups, Neuralink has some fairly lofty …

Announced as far back as 2019, this original VR experience set in the Peaky Blinders universe is set to arrive on headsets early next year.

Again, it’s a nice touch and emblematic of the obvious care Maze Theory are taking to recreating details and locations from the show.
