“We actually did experiment quite a lot,” said Nordlander, citing Gravity Rush as an inspiration during design. “It’s a really good game, by the way – I really like it. We tried some approaches [like that], but the main concern there was still that you didn’t really have to fly through the world – you could just fly above it.” The talk also quickly addressed the fact that freefalling is somehow faster than flying towards the ground, as players and sites like Kotaku quickly discovered. “We tried

While Capcom has expressed interest in remastering other Resident Evil titles, it will likely be awhile before we get our hands on anything tangible since Resident Evil 2 Remake only just arrived. However, the wait needn’t be dull as there are tons of Resident Evil 2 mods that aim to shake up and change our experience. This mod transforms Resident Evil 2’s shambling corpses into nutritious hordes of delicious tofu. Beach ready Mr. XDownload the mod from Nexus ModsNo respectable Resident Evil 2 m

The Division 2 Dark Hours is the game’s first new raid, promising to test endgame players with their biggest challenges yet. So far Ubisoft has only shown snippets of what to expect from Dark Hours, but an alleged Reddit datamine may give us some more details of what to expect. Before we get into them, take a healthy spoiler warning in case you’d rather discover what’s waiting in the raid on your own. Let’s start with what we officially know: Dark Hours will be the first eight-player raid in The

The Walking Dead season 9 has been a strong outing for the show thus far, but it’s most recent episode, Scars, may have just raised the bar to an all time high. “Scars” is one of the best episode #TheWalkingDead episodes ever. Yes, there was a lot of infanticide in this week’s episode of The Walking Dead, but it never came across as exploitative. Everyone’s in agreement; this katana-wielding badass is a true Walking Dead legend. In the mean time, check out the biggest questions we have about the

Carmen Sandiego is up to her thieving tricks again, but this time she’s taken to running about on Google Earth and it’s your job to track her down in the free browser game, Where on Google Earth is Carmen Sandiego? The free game is a delightful throwback to the Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? educational game that came out back in 1985, with all the pixelated charm to go with it. When you open up Google Earth in your browser, you’ll notice a little red silhouette of the master thief in th

Team Sonic Racing is speeding its way onto Xbox One, PS4, Switch and PC on May 21, and to accelerate our hype levels, Sega showcased a shiny new trailer of the game at the SXSW gaming festival yesterday along with the news that a new Sonic game is in development. The trailer gives us our first look at all the customization options that’ll be available to us, with a slice of colourful gameplay to boot. And when it comes zooming down the racetrack, you can certainly do it in style with plenty of p

If you’re fan of Doctor Who, you’ll probably know that sadly many of the black and white episodes from the ‘60s no longer exist, wiped from the BBC archives. The latest tale to get the treatment is 1967’s The Macra Terror, a four-parter starring Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor. The Macra Terror is available to buy on Blu-ray and DVD from March 25, 2019. The release comes with a host of extras, including episode commentaries by surviving cast, episode reconstructions using off-screen photo

Of course, it helps that basically every Pokemon game since has used this very sound, so it’s pretty hard to escape. Sam LoveridgePlayStation’s trophiesPlayStation’s beautiful trophy sound effect resonates for reasons both personal and professional. The perky chirp of an Engineer’s sentry finding its target is something you’ll hear constantly in Team Fortress 2, and signals so much for such a brief sound effect.

Ahead of Google GDC event on Tuesday (which starts at 10AM PDT / 2PM EDT / 6PM GMT), here’s everything we know about Google Yeti, including all the details on Project Stream – Google’s other game streaming endeavour. The rumours go that Google Yeti is a “subscription-based streaming service” that would stream games to Google Chromecast, as originally leaked by The Information. How does Project Stream tie in with Google Yeti? It could well be that Google used the Project Stream service as a kind

After all these years of fervently following HBO’s fantasy series, Game of Thrones season 8 is going to end with a bang – a very prolonged one. HBO has officially announced the air dates and runtimes for the final season, and the last four of these six episodes have been confirmed for movie-length runtimes at well over an hour each. We knew from a previous leak that the last few episodes would be way longer than usual, but to see HBO go all-out for the finale is heartening – after all, Game of T

This is my first big movie.”A more remarkable story still is the casting of Zachary Levi as Shazam. read more The 25 best superhero movies of all time (so far)Strong, therefore, is the perfect counterbalance, in life as in the movie.

Old but not forgottenLet’s start with Baldur’s Gate. Baldur’s Gate II is arguably one of the best RPGs of all time. And you’ll have to, because just about every combat encounter in Baldur’s Gate is tense, tactical, and challenging. Story is sidelined in favour of dungeon crawling and monster slaying, so if you love that aspect of Baldur’s Gate, it’s worth a look. Compared to the more familiar high fantasy of Icewind Dale and Baldur’s Gate, Torment is deeply strange.

Following a rocky release in 2016, No Man’s Sky has gone from strength to strength as developer Hello Games worked to correct its inherent flaws and expand its qualities as a multiplayer sci-fi sandbox of infinite proportions. While No Man’s Sky Online will borrow elements from the MMO scene, however, don’t expect any subscription fees or microtransactions. Like that of No Man’s Sky Next, Beyond is a free gift from Hello Games to its community of active players, and Murray promises to continue s

While not the latest, Call of Duty WW2 remains one of the better games in Activision’s shooter series: we gave it 4 stars. And, right now, you can pick it up for $9.99 at Walmart, which is actually less than the price of a sandwich, depending on where you live and just how fancy the sandwiches are. While the COD WW2 online community isn’t as active as it was at launch, it’s still rather lively, and you do get the campaign to play through regardless of how you feel about multiplayer. We enjoyed t

As we head into Game of Thrones season 8, it might be time to start re-evaluating how we address Daenerys, Mother of Dragons, Breaker of Chains, etc etc etc. That’s because, according to the guy who literally invented the Dothraki language (how do you get a job like that? Asking for a friend), we’ve been saying ‘Khaleesi’ wrong this entire time. According to Peterson, it’s something along the lines of ‘Ha-lay-eh-see’, with the K being silent and a real throaty sound on the ‘ha’. Check out the be

Case in point: The Captain Marvel ending was almost different to the one we were given, although the revised draft probably edges it in terms of tying Carol’s solo adventure up with a neat bow. The Captain Marvel editor has revealed why the change was made, and what the original plans were. Spoilers for Captain Marvel to follow. As she explains: “It used to end with Carol flying off into space alone, and I found that a bit jarring. It’s almost as if these people know what they’re doing…Did you s

Two Point Hospital can’t make real-life healthcare affordable, but at least its free Steam weekend is making zany medical escapades accessible from now through March 18. The creepy, annoying, and yet beloved mascot of the Half-Life series joins Two-Point Hospital as a new disease. Now I feel bad about the 5,000 or so I’ve beaten to death with a crowbar in all my Half-Life and Half-Life 2 playthroughs. If you ever worried that your hospital decor wasn’t quite referential enough before, these item

First came the announcement that Cricket 19 would be coming to all the major consoles, including Nintendo Switch, this summer. Now you’ll be able to go from hitting sixes to 147s inside a single evening, with Snooker 19 arriving in the spring. Most pleasingly, and much like Cricket 19, it’s coming to Nintendo Switch. The studio says Snooker 19 will include a comprehensive suite of tournaments and modes for both on and offline play. The combination of official World Snooker licensed content, high

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts reminds you that is also ‘Of Games,’ as the list of BAFTA Games Awards 2019 nominations is now ready for your consideration . God of War and Return of the Obra Dinn are tied for the lead with six nominations each, though God of War is way ahead if you count the four actors it has nominated for the Performer category. Tied behind them for second place are Celeste and Red Dead Redemption 2 . Anyway, the award ceremony is set for April 4, 2019 at Quee
