Benjamin Brosdau, a fan of the first Wipeout, has remade the intro cinematic for the PS1 and Sega Saturn title. Brosdau said work on the project started back in 2009, but was put off for various reasons. Earlier this year, files related to the project were found on a hard drive, and Brosdau reworked everything from scratch. According to the video description, Brosdau used few kitbash sets and created the intro predominantly in 3dsmax and V-Ray, with “additional stuff from Houdini and Renderman....

The original Diablo games (1&2) are very grim, Gothic affairs. Their visuals reflected that, with darker colours and muted tones. When Blizzard initially unveiled the more colourful Diablo 3, there was a riot. That negative reception to the change in art style eventually waned, but never completely died down. So much so, in fact, Blizzard made such a big deal about returning to that classic style when it revealed Diablo 4, in the hopes it’ll attract longtime fans who didn’t like the change in direction....

One of the headline features of the DualSense is haptic feedback - an advanced rumble technology that simulates what’s happening on-screen via vibrations in your hands. “We had a great opportunity with PS5 to innovate by offering game creators the ability to explore how they can heighten that feeling of immersion through our new controller,” says the official blog post. “This is why we adopted haptic feedback, which adds a variety of powerful sensations you’ll feel when you play, such as the slow grittiness of driving a car through mud....

At this point I think we all get the deal with Kojima. He’s a bit of a showman, he likes to do things in a way most other people won’t, like pretending his eventually-cancelled Silent Hill game was made by an indie developer. This time, with his next, untitled game, he’s been posting some teasers, like his reveal that Elle Fanning will be in it. His latest tease for this next game?...

Agent 47 has been on a hell of a journey. Five years ago Hitman went through an episodic brand reboot under the stewardship of creator studio IO Interactive and long-time publisher Square Enix. By the second game, IO and 47 had parted ways with Square, landing instead at Warner Bros for a more traditional release. The final entry in the trilogy is self-published by a now completely independent IO. Few trilogies in video games have gone through such a tumultuous journey - leave alone doing so while thriving....

Some are automatically enabled upon starting the game, but you can change things around such as the controller layout, and you can also choose your difficulty setting. One of the accessibility options included with subtitles, is the ability to change the size and background used with subtitles for better visibility. You can select your preferred language, both spoken and subtitles when starting the game for the first time. In the game menu there will be a Notebook that contains useful information about characters, machines, and data points found in the world....

It’s very likely that you come across The Spinebreak much earlier in your adventure than you can actually find the code though. It’s easy to find the eastern entrance while you’re doing the first story mission in the Forbidden West, or when you visit it during a quest called The Burning Blooms with the Carja hunter, Talanah. The Spinebreak Code is accessible once you’ve found Camp Nowhere, a small Oseram settlement in The Stillsands - the southern desert area of the Forbidden West....

You will likely pick up your first set of decorative cosmetics quite early in the game, but Guerrilla isn’t particularly forthcoming in telling you what it actually is – or how you’re supposed to put it on. Now that we’ve got the benefit of a full playthrough under our belts, we’re here to tell you exactly how to unlock face paint, and how to apply face paint. For everything you need to know, read on below....

While the patch contains a myriad of fixes and improvements, it also adds subtitles for the lyrics of the title song, “In The Flood”, as well as a toggle option in the Settings menu for loot actions. As far as fixes go, two main quest issues were addressed along with four side quests and five world activity quests. Some fixes and tweaks were made to machines, and an issue with humanoid enemies where applying the killing blow with a Spike Thrower could cause the enemies to freeze in place has been addressed....

Patch 1.07 is now available for Horizon Zero Dawn on PC, and it fixes a few issues players have been experiencing. Thanks to the patch, anisotropic filtering now works correctly, and the mandatory/unskippable shader optimization step at first launch has been removed. Shaders are now pre-optimized in the game’s Main Menu, and can be skipped, and shaders are also optimized dynamically in-game. There are still a few known issues the Guerilla Games is working on....

It’s honestly a bit of a nightmare, and you shouldn’t expect the bosses there to be any different. The big target of Farum Azula is Maliketh, the Black Blade, but before you actually make your way to him, you must first defeat the Godskin Duo. Depending on how much Elden Ring you played up to that point, you may have already run into one of these two (or both) before....

Wayfinder is the product of four years of work in collaboration with Digital Extremes, the game’s publisher and a source of experience for the team at Airship Syndicate. Joe Madureira has been around the block for some time now, responsible for the Darksiders series and a steady output of quality smaller titles like Ruined King: A League of Legends Story and Battle Chasers. With Wayfinders, the Madureira studio is returning to a genre he feels they’re skilled at making, on a game they’ve always wanted to make....

Hunt: Showdown PC players should update their game to the latest version, 1.3, which adds all sorts of new content. One thing you can expect is the new time of day, sunset, which will cast a bit of an eerie glow around the map. There’s also the new Blood Bonds Legendary Hunter, the Redneck. Who doesn’t want to play as a redneck wearing bib-overalls with no shirt? He looks quite fun, honestly....

If you believe the musings of your average internet-goer, this game isn’t worth thinking about. It doesn’t have a patch on the N64 original. It’s a glorified Call of Duty clone, and so on and so forth. There’s a ring of truth to bits of this - but I firmly disagree that this title is worthless. In fact, in many ways, in 2022, I actually value GoldenEye 2010 just as much as its 1997 predecessor....

Entirely predictably then, Ico hooks me immediately. When it comes to the navel-gazing ‘games as art’ discourse, there’s a reason that Ico is always highlighted as a shining example. Light on narrative and heavy on ambience, Fumito Ueda’s breakthrough project is a majestic mood piece – a universally relatable adventure that largely avoids cutscenes and, instead, relies on its setting to tell its tale. And what a setting. There’s a wonderfully surrealist quality to Ueda’s debut that immediately recalls the ill-fitting, ethereal nature of childhood dreams....

IKEA has developed a new gaming range of furniture in collaboration with ASUS sub-brand Republic of Gamers (ROG). The goal was to create “relevant, functional, beautiful, and affordable products” to make it easier for everyone to create the setup they want. The new gaming range will target PC gamers and include six product families: HUVUDSPELARE, UTESPELARE, MATCHSPEL, GRUPPSPEL, UPPSPEL, LÅNESPELARE. All UPPSPEL products have been designed by IKEA and ROG in close collaboration while the other product families have been developed by IKEA....

It’s also an incredibly unforgiving game, one that doesn’t hold back on relentlessly punishing you for a single bad choice and reigning all manner of hell down on you should walk in unprepared. Wick’s quest is one that’ll take him across the world, eventually leading to showdowns with end stage bosses who’ll require some extra cunning to dispose of. If you’re feeling up to the challenge of stepping into the shoes of the legendary Baba Yaga and you could do with some advice on taking down the most notorious henchmen of the enigmatic Hex, here’s a guide on how best to approach those lethal targets....

Which probably isn’t a big surprise to anyone who has played his heavily film-inspired, cinematic games. Speaking in the February edition of Famitsu (as translated by DualShockers), Kojima and character artist Yiji Shinkawa described what projects they would like to do following the release of Death Stranding. Both say they would like to work on a manga together, with artist Shinkawa stating he would like to work on an analog project that he can touch directly....

Announced just ahead of TGS 2022 in a livestream, Like a Dragon 8 will star Kazuma Kiryu and Yakuza: Like a Dragon’s Ichiban Kasuga. With the game’s announcement, it seems the Yakuza title has been retired in the west, as the developers are opting to call the series by the same name as its Japanese counterpart. Like a Dragon 8 will arrive in 2024 PC, Ps4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S....

It’s been a while, but a new look at Lost Soul Aside is ready for your special eyes. In development at Ultizero Games, the game started life as a one-man project from Yang Bing. Announced via a fabulous trailer in 2016, Lost Soul Aside is currently without a release date, but in 2016, Bing said the action game was a couple of years out. We are still unsure of a release date, but the project seems to be coming along nicely....
