In an interview with IGN, studio co-founder Sean Murray said his next game would be just as ambitious as No Man’s Sky. “For a while now we’ve been working on something pretty ambitious in the background. It’s a small team but we like it that way,” said Murray. Murray added that the game was more ambitious than you might expect from a small studio: “Similar to No Man’s Sky, it’s the kind of project that even if we had a thousand people working on it, it’d still seem impossible....

Following its decision to pull Russia out of FIFA 22 in the wake of Putin’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, EA has said the Russian national team and all Russian clubs will not be in FIFA 23 from launch. “EA Sports stands in solidarity with the Ukrainian people and like so many voices across the world of football, calls for peace and an end to the invasion of Ukraine,” a statement issued to Eurogamer reads....

And Raskin was an illustrator as well as a novelist. She created over 1000 book jackets, including classics like the original cover of A Wrinkle in Time. And alongside the jackets, she created children’s picture books - large format, bold designs, a story or poem to lead you from the start to the finish. Over the last few years, having become a proper Raskin-head, and having even made the pilgrimage to her house in Greenwich Village (a memorable day!...

The third-person looter shooter game from People Can Fly (Bulletstorm, Gears of War: Judgment) plays a short cutscene whenever you want to move to a new area. These cutscenes show everything from a character opening a door to climbing a ledge. They include a full fade to black opening before playing the cutscene, then another fade to black before you get back into the action. These cutscenes sometimes border on the hilarious....

Coming to terms with how this system works will define your time in Enoch, especially as you make your way through the campaign. After that, there are Challenge Tiers and… well, it gets complicated. Ultimately, these are systems with a lot of wrinkles that you can game for more efficient progress or even better loot. This page explains World Tier rewards, how to farm World Tiers, and general advice on where and how to spend your time using these systems in the end game....

Star Maker is all about a journey through the cosmos - deep into space and out the other side, really. But that day its wild intergalactic journey actually served to root me more deeply in the landscape I was exploring. I remember the broken chalky earth where the badgers make their sets, the dew pond with its looping swallows, a lonely bench pointed at nothing where I sat in silence for a space of time that was maybe twenty minutes, maybe an hour....

Announcing the news in a statement shared on the developer’s website, Sato wrote, “As of the end of last year, I have resigned from my post as CEO and president of PlatinumGames and entrusted Vice President Atsushi Inaba as my successor.” “I started as president of PlatinumGames back in April of 2016 with the goal of bringing smiles to all our fans the world round,” Sato continued. “After forming a partnership with Tencent in December 2019, I opened a new office in Tokyo to expand our development team, and ultimately was able to kick off our first self-publishing ventures, something which had been a dream of the company for a long, long time....

Throughout the game, instructions from characters, signposts, and the in-game manual are written in a made-up runic language. Players aren’t required to translate it; instead it adds an air of mystery to the foxy adventure and forces players to analyse visual clues instead. However, some eager players have begun diligently translating the runes, including Reddit user oposdeo. Oposdeo, who works as a programmer not a linguist, has only beaten a couple of bosses in the game so far, but has managed to ascertain vowels, consonants, and grammar structure of the fictional language....

Sony has announced an “all-new on-console tournament experience” coming to PS5 “in the coming weeks, in select countries” - and you can see some of its new look just above. When implemented, the feature will allow you to join competitions for prizes and leaderboard bragging rights, with easy access from the PS5 Control Center and Game Hub. Sony has touted the feature’s design as seamless, with registration for tournaments via your console, and quick access to view your tournament bracket and other information while mid-game....

Deadline states that the Japan Studio title is the latest to be added to a long, long line of projects in the works at PlayStation Productions. So far, director Anna Mastro (who helmed Disney+ series Secret Society of Second Born Royals) and script writer Emily Jerome (Panopticon) are attached. It’s nice to know Sony hasn’t forgotten Gravity Rush, which despite getting strong reviews and a solid sequel, seemed likely to remain dormant following the disbanding of its Project Siren team at the now-shuttered Japan Studio....

Speaking to the PlayStation blog, Sony’s Hideaki Nishino, senior vice president of platform experience, said the company had compiled a “gigantic list of things” from before the PS5 launch it had wanted to do. “There are interesting, exciting, fantastic ideas on the list,” Nishino said. “At the same time, we launched PS5. So, we are receiving a bunch of feedback from the community through social networks or system telemetry, as well as the media, my family, my friends....

There has been a break in this quest series - the last we’ve seen was back in 2021 - but you can expect the familar gauntlet of grunt trainer battles and catching Shadow Pokémon before taking on the leaders and, eventually, Giovanni himself. You’ll also be rewarded with experience and a range of items for every quest steps you complete. On this page: Remember - you need to have completed your previous Team Go Rocket research quest, which started with A Troubling Situation back in 2019, to access this quest....

In short, the event doubles the amount of Stardust and XP you’ll receive for the duration, and as an extra treat, has ushered in the arrival of one of the game’s more elusive Pokémon - Ditto - into the wild. If you’re smart, you can make a lot of gains with your Trainer level and growing your team over the next week. On this page: UK: 12:01am (BST) Europe: 1:01am (CEST) East Coast US: 19:01pm (EDT - Tuesday November 29) West Coast US: 16:01am (PDT - Tuesday November 29)...

But it’s also to be dragged along still by the series’ superlative, enchanting, uber-compelling core: battle, trade, collect. Yes, there’s a lingering sense of austerity and belt-tightening, of a kind of savage, self-inflicted economisation and distillation of Pokémon games into the absolute barest necessities for existence. Of a publisher with a fondness for ever-tougher rounds of development-budget limbo. But this is just what it means to enjoy Pokémon, now. You want more, you feel you really should want more, but by some twist of dark magic you’re left feeling grateful for what you’ve got....

Meanwhile, the Competition and Markets Authority published redacted documents from Microsoft and Sony, laying out its arguments for and against the acquisition, respectively. Key to Sony’s argument against the deal is giving control of Call of Duty to Microsoft. Leaning on the CMA’s concerns about Microsoft’s leading role in gaming subscription services, Sony argues that placing Call of Duty on Xbox Game Pass would be hugely detrimental to PlayStation. Hilariously, to reinforce its point, Sony dunked on the Battlefield series, which is Call of Duty’s closest competitor....

This new double-pack from Valve and Nvidia Lightspeed Studios combines Portal 1 and Portal 2 along with bonus gameplay content at an attractive £13.49/$19.99. Both games run on the landmark Source engine, most famous for powering 2004’s Half-Life 2, so obviously, we’re not looking at state-of-the-art technology here. However, brilliance in game and art design make both titles a great match for Nintendo’s hybrid console and it’s been fantastic to revisit these games, which turn out to be a perfect fit for the platform....

Back in August, Coffee Talk developer Toge Productions accused publisher PQube of misusing money gained from a diversity fund. Toge claimed this money was intended to finance its next game A Space For The Unbound. “The diversity fund was a grant fund intended to help underrepresented game developers, especially during the pandemic,” Toge Productions wrote at the time. “However, instead of giving those funds to the developers as the grant was intended, PQube Games intentionally withheld information about the grant and used it as a leverage for their own commercial gain....

The first of these changes is the upcoming Miramar remaster, which is being rolled out in patch 12.1 (now live on PC test servers). Miramar has been tweaked and revamped before, but this time it’s getting a “much larger remastering”, using the technology used to improve other maps like Sanhok to tweak the “lighting, performance, graphical fidelity, topography, and of course special features”. Players can also expect to find “overhauls to terrain and building textures and layouts, easier traversal with the removal of unnecessary obstacles, and even updated cliffs to better fit in the more vertical experience the game has become”....
