“To some extent, everything we just described is about ‘What does VR as a platform and experience bring to the table?’” Walker asks. “And if that is not significant, then it’s not interesting? We believe it’s significant and interesting. And there’s no better way than to play this game in non-VR, I think, than to

Star War 1313 remains not only one of gaming’s most famous cancelled projects but an essential piece of video game and Star Wars history. That’s an impressive legacy for a game that we honestly don’t know that much about. Fortunately, a recently leaked screenshot may reveal a big piece of the Star Wars 1313 puzzle.

“We found ourselves creeping ever forward towards, ‘Well, let’s just keeping putting more and more, and more, and more stuff in this game because we want to make it as good as we can,’” Casali says. “I think at that point we realized, ‘Okay, maybe this episodes thing, it was a good concept, but we’re

“You start by talking about who these characters are as people and what has shaped them into who they are,” Rosemann says. “And then you start talking about what their goals are. You have a protagonist who has a goal and an antagonist who has a goal, and those goals collide. Character drives action, action

GameStop has vowed to give 80 hours of extra paid time off to employees of closed stores who are eligible for PTO.

The moment you step off the train platform in 2001’s Animal Crossing, you are greeted by Tom Nook, who identifies himself as the town store owner and then immediately proceeds to mock you for being homeless. So far as neighborhood welcome wagons go, this little fellow ranks slightly below closed blinds, awkward stares, and hushed

5. Hitmonchan Here we go! And now we’ve arrived to the collection of cards we’ve all been waiting for. One deck archetype in retro Pokémon towers over the rest.

Sabotage Studio, the studio responsible for the brilliant 8/16-bit throwback action title, The Messenger, has announced that their next game will be an old-school RPG called Sea of Stars.

Evo’s statement resembles one made by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) two weeks ago before it decided to cancel E3 2020, gaming’s biggest trade show, last week. The 2020 Game Developers Conference was also postponed from March to the summer, although it remains to be seen if the organizers will actually be able to put

You can also move your units in any order you want rather than follow a rigid turn order determined by the initiative queue. Wasteland 2 fans will recognize this as a big change to the combat. In Wasteland 3, the turn-based system feels fluid, dynamic, and balanced. Range of movement and attack is displayed clearly

Unfortunately, one of Ori and the Blind Forest’s best quirks is missing from the sequel. Ori’s ability to save anywhere, once a selling point, is now gone—and why shouldn’t it be? In the last five years, games have mostly shed any emphasis on manual saves, either doing it automatically as Will of the Wisps does

Echo has been revealed as Overwatch‘s 32nd hero in a new trailer that teases her arrival to Blizzard’s competitive first-person shooter.

[embedded content] Interestingly, Hearthstone’s Priest class is also set to receive a fairly significant overhaul as part of the Year of the Phoenix update. This overhaul will see certain Priest cards removed from the game’s standard mode of play and be replaced with new cards. Other Priest cards are being reworked entirely. Blizzard hopes that

Franchise, likewise, is about the same, although there’s one clear new addition that could excite some players. You can now create custom teams to take the place of the Miami Marlins or Texas Rangers, or any of the other 28 teams. In practice, that means changing the team name and colors, as well as creating

An update from 343 Industries suggests that the PC version of Halo 2, available as part of the PC port of the Master Chief Collection, may go into testing as early as the end of this month. “Many of you already know this, but Halo 2 and Halo 2: Anniversary are now on deck for

LEGO and Nintendo have shared more about that mysterious project they recently teased, and it’s not exactly what many people were guessing it would be. Yes, LEGO and Nintendo are teaming up to make LEGO Super Mario as some fans had previously guessed. However, this project is neither a video game or a LEGO set.

Kiciński also noted that the studio has “two worlds and we want to create games in those two worlds.” Because of that, he says that “all planned games are either Witcher or Cyberpunk.” That might sound like a lot of potentially contradictory information, but there are a few things that we can glean from these

Now, that dynamic shifts ever so slightly. There’s little doubt that this digital event will still heavily feature the Xbox Series X and whatever else may be in the pipeline for Microsoft as it heads into the next generation.
