Sanderson told IGN that he feels the way a game plays comes before story considerations, which surprised Moonbreaker’s developers. “A game with an awful story but fantastic gameplay is still a great game," Sanderson said. Unknown Worlds and Sanderson are continuing to work on Moonbreaker jointly, which Sanderson hopes will carry on for years – even comparing the game’s multiple character viewpoints to Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales. “We have a long-form story....

Not a huge surprise, really, considering Three Fields are mostly comprised of former Burnout and Need For Speed devs, but Wreckreation definitely has the stylings of Criterion’s classic racer. You’ve got muscle cars zooming around crashing into each other, then doing the whole slow-mo “Takedown” of yore, where you see the car clatter off course for a brief second or two. The racing? Yeah, it looks as expected, ditching realism for tight cornering and explosive arcade-style speed....

And yet, and yet, I keep re-watching the launch trailer and reading the Steam page for Bustafellows. Murder mystery? I love those. Puzzles and interactive narrative based in part around a time travel mechanic? Sounds neat. Lush art and a jazzy soundtrack? I’m all over it. I definitely want the game these words make me imagine, but I’ve been duped before. Check out the trailer below and tell me I’m wrong....

With Season 2 on the horizon, we expect plenty of tweaks and changes in the coming weeks. If any patches affect the PPSH-41 or this loadout, we’ll update this guide to let you know. Make sure to check back when Season 2 launches in February to see how this PPSH-41 loadout changes in the new Call Of Duty: Vanguard meta. Best PPSH-41 loadout in Call Of Duty: Vanguard The PPSH-41 is an excellent close-range weapon, making it very efficient for those who prefer a run-and-gun playstyle....

“We take all forms of cheating very seriously, maintaining a level and fair playing field for everyone is among our highest priorities. This is an area we have been working on heavily, but it isn’t always something we discuss publicly,” they said in Tuesday’s announcement. They say they’ve been “enforcing account bans” since the day Warzone launched and that “to date, [they] issued more than 50,000 permabans worldwide.” That is a good number....

I see Brawl weapons including steins, rolling pins, chairs, turkey legs, barrels, bottles, and skulls and yes, thanks. Up to 40 players will be able to fight on its two maps, which sounds like a good-sized rumble to me. As for headbutting, yup, if someone lops your arms off you will be able to run around attempting to headbutt people to death before you bleed out. One of the devs says, “if you headbutt enough you can stay alive and run around with no arms at all....

Whereas Quake II RTX was partly an official Nvidia effort, this is a proper indie mod, freely available on GitHub from its creator sultim-t. Hark, a trailer: Aw, isn’t that nice. The mod originally launched on April 1st, but it’s no joke, and has already received a couple of updates to smooth out some issues and tone down the heavy bloom you can see in the trailer. There is one catch, besides only the first three episodes being included: right now ray tracing only works on Nvidia graphics cards....

AGS says you can now select the “custom game” match type to host a four vs four match. A full crew of eight is required to begin the game. In these private matches, four additional players can join in to spectate those playing. The match leader can move other players between teams or into the spectator role at will. They can also set the lobby to “friends only” or “invite only”....

We’ll now have to wait for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 until next year, so you can get a bite of vampire action right now in this homage to the vampire corner of the World Of Darkness setting. Princes Of Darkness changes up how you think about intrigue and succession thanks to a whole family of vampiric considerations. You’re immortal, of course, but not invulnerable, meaning that you won’t die of old age but an adversary that comes prepared to behead or roast you can still topple your crown....

In a tweet today, the Crysis account says simply (in all caps) “Receiving data”. So what’s that all about then? Well, we don’t know, but betting folks would put their money on either Crysis 4 or a Crysis 1 remaster. Personally, I’d guess a remaster since we’re still in the boom of old games made new. This follows after Crytek’s Crysis-related April foolins joke this year. They updated the Crysis website with an animated image of Crysis 1’s protagonist Nomad....

The game starts in media sacrifice as you (the last lamb) are walloped on the altar in front of four evil bishops. They collectively resemble a jigsawed assortment of the bits that go into sausages: eyes, lips, toenails, I guess that looks like an arm? They and their berobed worshippers are exterminating all the lambs they can find, but the joke’s on them, because you are immediately resurrected by an eldritch god trapped in some kind of Phantom Zone....

“At first, I just had the idea of a futuristic version of the City Of Tears with a holographic projection of The Hollow Knight instead of an actual statue,” Albert Kowalski (or “albert16k” on Reddit) tells me. That’s his design just above. In the beginning that’s all this mod was - just a cool bit of fanart inspired by futuristic worlds. “After posting it, I got a big reaction from people who actually wanted a mod like that, and that pushed me to create a whole Cyberknight mod....

Along with tweaks to make the console version crash less, the hotfix 1.06 patch notes list two things relevant to us on PC: As someone whose save file is up over 5MB long before the end of the game (I’ve been doing a lot of side-stuff, and a fair bit of crafting), I had been getting concerned. Good to see it fixed. Hopefully people who were butting against the limit have a safe save they can fall back on, seeing as corrupted ones can’t be recovered....

When CDPR originally shared their roadmap in January, they mentioned releasing the first Patch 1.1 with 1.2 to come “in the weeks after”. Patch 1.1 landed on January 22nd, but 1.2 is going to take a few more weeks than planned. The cyber attack they mention is the one from earlier this month in which CDPR receieved a ransom note from a group claiming to have obtained source code for Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3, and Gwent....

Oof, the ending of this one was frustrating. No audio delay this time, which is good! But I’m a little quieter than last time for some reason, which is bad. If you’re wondering where the daily was for yesterday: I explain why I skipped it in the video above. The answer is wet. You might not have watched the daily for September 30th, in which case you might have also missed some of the videos shared by readers in the comments....

Here’s the tweet: Darkest Dungeon 2 will have similar turn-based combat to the first game, in the same grimdark fantasy world, albeit now rendered with 3D character models that nevertheless maintain the same handdrawn style. The Epic Games Store page doesn’t contain any particular details, beyond the teaser trailer released last year, and embedded below: Back in March, Imogen spoke to game developers about their enduring love for the early access process, including folks from Red Hook Games....

Fortunately, the long-anticipated sequel recently resurfaced at Gamescom 2022, and we now know that the wait is almost over. If the journey to launch has left you feeling a bit confused, then you’re in the right place, as we’re here to break down everything we know about Dead Island 2. In this guide, we’ll explain everything we know about Dead Island 2, including the release date, platforms, a look at various trailers, and details about the gameplay, combat, and story....

While the most intriguing inclusion is the gravity glove thanks to its ability to drag in items from a short distance away from Sam, it’s not the only item available and we will be showing off how to get all of them. Our guide to unlocking the Half-Life items in Death Stranding will show you where to get the Half-Life companion cubes for the PC version of Death Stranding and tell you what each Half-Life item does....

Remember when demos used to all be permanent? Hello, we’re both old. Announcing its permanence in a Steam blog post, its developer said that if you like the demo, you can buy the early access release if you “want a few more hours of that.” The early access build will include the first chapter, and they’re hoping to have a final release available in 2022, after gathering feedback on “game feel, usability, variety, progression”....

For the Forged in the Barrens meta, we’ve already seen a lot of dynamic shifts in the early stages, so keep an eye out for the constant updates on how it’s going and what the best decks are!. It’s important to remember: the highest win-rate deck won’t always be the one you see the most success with. All in all, we recommend you use this Deck Tier List as a guide hub for the decks, but not as gospel on which deck you should always play....
