Cairn? Cave? Cavern? Something. My old roommate told me there’s some trick toSkyrimdungeons where if you follow one of the walls all the way around, you’ll find the exit, or something, but I never listened to him. I’m still actually mad because he buckled my frying pan by dunking it in cold water, so now it rises up in the middle, so when I cook eggs, they always run off to one side....

This game is… moist 15 seconds into this Xbox Series X gameplay preview forScorn, I let out a loud “whatis that?!” This goes without saying if you’ve been following Ebb Software’s fleshy horror gameover the past four-plus years, but that was far from the only time I reacted vocally to something grotesque. This first-person adventure isn’t H.R. Giger-inspired so much as it is a fervent tribute to the late, great artist....
He started in the industry at age 12 Last Sunday’s Sup Holmes (now oniTunes) with former Virgin game tester, indie game developer, Atlus translator, and Konami producer Tomm Hulett was simply overflowing with autobiographical thrills. We barely got to talk about Tomm as a human being. His huge backlog of historical data constantly got in the way. We did get to hear about what motivated Tomm to get into the business, why he stuck to it even after his indie studio folded, the time he was locked in an office by Dave Perry (Earthworm Jim) at age 12, why he left Konami to become a director at WayForward, his level of involvement (or in this case, lack of involvement) with the much malignedSilent Hill HD Collection, his feelings onSilent Hillsales/fans/experiences and a lot more....
Will you? Sony might be laughingat the idea of you playing old video games, but they’re already addressing their new competition. I’m talking about the Switch of course, which Nintendo wants to push 18 million of by the end of next year. The thing is, Sony isn’t too worried, because they assume you’re going to buy both a PS4 and a Switch. Speaking to Time, Sony global game development head Shawn Layden calls the demise of consoles “premature,” and that there’s room for growth....
Speaking to MTV Multiplayer, Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley has revealed the possibility of massively multiplayer online games for the PlayStation Portable. “We think it’s a world-class device,” he said, “In the future, we see full MMOs that are designed for the PSP.” Smedley cites the 34 million units sold and the worldwide connectivity as a reason why MMOs on the handheld would be a no-brainer. But in a case of walking before they run, he sees the opportunity for integration with existing MMOs before launching a full-on title....
Better later than never? Despite being an overall solid release, last year’sSpyro: Reignited Trilogycame under notable fire for lacking accessibility options. Specifically, Activision’s compendium was missing subtitles for its cutscenes, a particularly odd design choice in gaming’s modern era, where the option is seemingly a given for many major releases. You may remember that Activision’s response to the complaintswas pretty half-arse, simply stating that there was “no industry standard” for subtitles, but that they’d bear people’s complaints in mind for future releases....
Buckle up If you’re looking for something to chew on untilGuilty Gear Strivereleases June 11th, look no further than its story.Guilty Gear’s narrative is far from “easily digestible,” so let’s all take a lore laxative and gloss over some of the story’s broader strokes. Below is an overview of every character’s story arc leading up to the events ofStrive. It’s the kind of series that uses narrative to justify changes to characters’ in-game moves between iterations: a beautiful, if not convoluted, piece of art....
Misadventures in Kamurocho Ryu ga Gotoku Studio, perhaps better known to western audiences as Team Yakuza, has announced that it will be hosting a new episode of production web series next week, which will feature none other than studio director himself, Masayoshi Yokoyama, who will present fans with a “sneak peek trailer.” The developer did not offer any further hint as to what the trailer will be giving us a “sneak peek” of, but the rumor mill has been turning for some time — spilling stories that a “Yakuza 8″iscurrently in the worksat the veteran studio....
We’re past the point of Switch port ‘interest’ being taboo During a Kuro Kuro drinking party of all places we’ve just obtained several fairly big bits of news for theTekkenfranchise. Producer and lifeblood of the series, Katsuhiro Harada, shared that yes,Tekken x Street Fighteris not completely canceled and is still on hold. This is the same game announced back in 2010 along withStreet Fighter X Tekken(which did come out) and put on ice in 2016, mind....
‘A Hero Nobody Knows’ Even if you don’t watch anime and are completely disconnected from that part of the world, you’ve probably heard ofOne Punch Man. Or, at the very least, since you frequent a gaming site after all, you’ve seen its hero by way of someone’s avatar. Now you don’t have to worry about not being aware of it, as the series is getting its first game adaptation. What began as a manga installment in 2009 and completely blew up in the past several years by way of the anime adaptation, the upcoming game is calledOne Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows....
Hmm, what could it be? Torchlight IIis a total blur to me at this point, and that means I’m liable to double-dip for theupcoming console ports. The enduring action-RPG will make its way to PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in September with platform-exclusive pets. Clearly, someone’s onto me– they know what I care about. There are actually four different pets depending on when and where you nab the game....
No, that Gardevoir on ‘those’ sites isn’t the kind of mother I’m talking about The life cycle of aPokémonremains an enigma to Day Care owners everywhere. Where do Pokémon eggs come from? Why do they only appear whenever a male and a female Pokémon (or a Ditto) are left alone together for a very long time? Professors remain baffled by this illogical conundrum. But due to vague parallels to human mating rituals, we’ve come to refer to the female Pokémon left in the Day Care as a mother, and the act itself as breeding....
