At this point, you can’t even open the Steam front page without stumbling over remake after remake (sometimes remasters, just to spice things up).
In Dreadline Express, you play a character who awakes in the cabin of a carriage on the last human train. It hurtles down the track, bathed in the red light of an alien sky. At the windows of the carriage, eldritch tentacles press themselves against the glass. A voice crackles at the speaker, it…
Becoming a boost junkie in arcade racers that offer such potent bursts of extra oomph is usually only a matter of time. Star Wars: Galactic Racer is no different. The hooks have been in deep. The vast majority of the builds I’ve pulled together in runs through its singleplayer campaign have lived…
It’s been a bit since Bayonetta has had any time in the spotlight. 2022’s Bayonetta 3 released to pretty good reception (although did earn ire for its depiction of the witch herself), but all’s been quiet on the Umbral front since. With creator Hideki Kamiya having left PlatinumGames in 2023, it…
The streets of Baldtown City are nearly empty of traffic. It’s not that it’s a ghost town: up and down the pavements there are crowds of citizens bustling to and from work. They pile into subways, queue up at bus stops, and enter and leave the town by a regularly-running intercity metro service…
For British people who were actively playing games in the late 80s and/or retro enthusiasts looking back at that period of the industry, the name Dizzy might ring a bell (it doesn’t for me, but what can I tell you, I’m 24).
Horror game makers Supermassive Games, the studio behind Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures Anthology, have followed through on plans to lay off staff not long after the launch of Directive 8020.
Street Fighter IV, the game that basically revived the fighting game genre back in 2009 and gave birth (not literally) to a new subset of players lovingly referred to as ‘09ers’, saw its final iteration in 2014’s Ultra Street Fighter IV. While it wasn’t the most perfectly balanced game, it’s…
Over the course of my illustrious tenure as RPS news mangler, I have seen many Simslikes. Tragically cancelled Simslikes from publishers better known for feats of tactical incest! Corrosively telegenic Simslikes suggestive of a paved-over burial ground! Cottagecore “don’t call me a Simslike”…
The software developer behind an unofficial PC version of N64 platformer Banjo-Kazooie has posted an impassioned screed about the usage of generative AI tools for rush-job PC ports of classic games.
Following Microsoft’s recent reveal that Hellblade makers Ninja Theory would be facing closure, with two deals to buy them after their split from Xbox have fallen through, the studio look to be in the process of informing staff they’re at risk of being let go.
Details about and dev chatter concerning GTA 6 continue to drip out as part of the marketing push towards its console launch in November. This time, some of the aspects of it I’m most intrigued to see how Rockstar have handled whenever they deign to bring it to PC have been discussed - how they’ve…
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is something far worse than war. There is: a level that is basically a huge, spinning lock full of tentacles, with your Space Marine or Sister of Battle protagonist naturally serving as the key. Auroch Digital’s new FPS Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2…
Happy this week, all! I regret to inform you that the videogame developers have been at it again. Sometimes, I find that the promising new releases distribute themselves evenly throughout the week, like butter perfectly spread over just the right amount of toast. And sometimes, as with this week’s…
A fourth entry in the RuneScape series of MMOs has been announced by developers Jagex at this year’s RuneFest. It’s going by the obvious placeholder name of RuneScape 4 for now, is being developed using the Unreal Engine, and is still a decent way off.
If you’ve watched the trailers for No Law or the tech demo that developer Neon Giant showed off at Unreal Fest earlier this year, it would be easy to believe the game has a similar scope to CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077. After all, both games are open-world RPGs set in cyberpunk cities. Set in a…
Sundays are for having the first lie-in in a month. No trips to visit family, no waking in unfamiliar beds, and, best of all, no having to wait until the hosts are up before you can get started on breakfast. I will be snoozing deeply in my own particular mattress before having a plate of toast and…
Sometimes I Wonder About The Other Me is a 2D platformer created by “small game” developer Luis “Ludipe” Díaz Peralta, whose other works include A Place For The Unwilling. It’s broken into a handful of single screen maps.
October, we meet again. You slip through my bedroom window as a cold draft on a crisp morning, both making my covers more welcome and the long walk to the kitchen for coffee that much harder. Still, your arrival signals the end of a month stuffed with game releases and, for me, at least, a lot of…
I don’t know if memory shortages have permanently killed off the concept of ‘cheap’ gaming PCs, but they have at least beat it into a coma. On the desktop side, inflated RAM, SSDs and graphics card prices continue to inflict karmic pain for our years of “It’s cheaper to build it yourself” smugness…
Update: Venris has posted an update to Patreon noting that they’ve “decided to restore a working version of SFO: Grimhammer 3 for game version 8.1.1 on Steam”.
Another day, another company declaring that the current memory crisis driving RAM prices through the roof is far from over. This time it’s Micron, one of three firms - Samsung and SK Hynix are the others - which have been accused of worsening the RAM crisis via price fixing by a US lawsuit. Read…
In perhaps the least surprising Fallout news since Raul from New Vegas confirmed that ghouls with dodgy knees don’t enjoy sneaking, the person behind an AI-generated browser game dubbed Fallout: New York has claimed to have recieved a cease and desist message from Bethesda parent company ZeniMax.
PUBG: Black Budget, an extraction shooter spin-off of Krafton’s battle royale, has been cancelled after just under a year of closed alpha testing.
