I spent three days at Summer Game Fest blasting my eyes with an endless stream of videogames, and the one I'm still thinking about is Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Tragically, I didn't play it: Capcom shuffled press into a room to watch theater demos for both Onimusha and Resident Evil Requiem, the latter of which was pre-recorded, but Onimusha was played live.That's an important distinction, because it would've been...
Konami has shown off a new take on Metal Gear multiplayer, with Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater boasting an online mode, Fox Hunt. This follows a recent tease that many, myself included, thought indicated a return of the beloved Metal Gear Online.Well, no dice, but Fox Hunt actually looks pretty cool and, more than anything else, reminds me of rival stealther Splinter Cell's similarly cherished Spies vs Mercs multiplayer....

A whole decade is a solid run for an RPG ruleset, but the success of Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition, released in 2014, was such that replacing it would be an obviously terrible idea. Instead, Wizards of the Coast did something more akin to 4th edition's Essentials line—a refresh that's compatible with the previous rules, but makes changes to address criticisms that have emerged over the rules' lifespan.The 2024 update...
As if Elden Ring character stats weren't confusing enough, FromSoftware further obfuscated their purpose in Elden Ring Nightreign. Each Nightfarer has letter ratings instead of numbers to denote their relative proficiency with each stat, but the real values are hidden. You just have to trust they're going up a meaningful amount each time you level up.Dataminer and YouTuber Zullie the Witch went under the hood to figure out how stats...

A day after reaching a tentative agreement with major game companies over "critical AI protections" for voice actors, the SAG-AFTRA union has suspended the strike that's been ongoing since July 2024 and given its members the green light to return to work.That the strike is "suspended" and not ended is meaningful, as the new agreement still has to be ratified by union membership.
