The rumors about an Elden Ring movie seemed too specific not to be true, and sure enough, Bandai Namco confirmed today that it's working with A24 on a live-action Elden Ring movie.The film will be written and directed by Alex Garland, best known for Civil War, Annihilation, and Ex Machina. He also wrote the screenplays for 28 Days Later and Dredd.George RR Martin, who had a hand in Elden Ring's...

The early reception for RoadCraft, the new driving sim from the developer of MudRunner and SnowRunner, was—like the washed-out roads of the game itself—a bit rocky. Day one "Mixed" reviews on Steam have improved the more players get their hands on it, and it's now sporting a 71% "Mostly Positive" score—but not everyone is loving it.A common complaint is that it's not as hardcore an experience as SnowRunner, which featured...

Ahead of its reveal at today's Warhammer Skulls event, I got to speak to Owlcat producer Anatoly Shestov about Warhammer 40K: Dark Heresy, the studio's next big CRPG to follow up the breakout Rogue Trader. Here are my big takeaways from the conversation:Dark Heresy is based on the TTRPG of the same name, like how Rogue Trader was based on, you guessed it, Rogue Trader.You play as an Imperial inquisitor...

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is one of the GOATs, and in many ways represents one of the last hurrahs for the traditional base-building RTS. See, in the early '00s, the once glorious RTS genre was starting to show signs of wear and tear as it tried to adapt to a changing videogame landscape.The shift away from the 2D RTS romps typified by the likes of C&C, Warcraft and Age...

I liked Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun quite a bit. I'm not a huge Warhammer guy, but a straight-up boomer shooter I can quickly jump in and out of for a few minutes of blood and guts when the urge strikes? That's my jam. So I think it's very good news that more is on the way: During today's Warhammer Skulls Showcase, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 was officially announced and set for...

There's a familiar start to City Tales: Medieval Era, a new city builder that launched on Steam today. You've got a few citizens that need housing and food and work, so you place a wood cutter's camp near the trees, a gathering station near a berry patch, and a hunter's cabin in the woods: stuff any city builder player has done plenty of times before.But there are also some interesting...

Despite the game launching on June 10, in just a few weeks, we have only just received the MindsEye system requirements. Designed with developer Build a Rocket Boy's Unreal Engine 5 creation system, Everywhere, it's effectively a proof of concept that allows players to remix and create content to build new games, modes, maps, and more. Think Project Spark, or perhaps less niche, Fortnite's creative maps.Well, if you want to...

There's a reason the mention of AI, particularly in creative spaces, gets a bit of an eyeroll. Actually there's several. It's trained on stolen content for starters, robbing real artists and writers of credit and income. Furthermore, it's often just pretty bad, especially when it comes to factual articles. Language models like ChatGPT are known to hallucinate pretty badly, and this has led to real outlets like the Chicago Sun-Times...

It's a sad truth that you just can't ever let your guard down when it comes to malicious software, even when buying a $6,000 USD professional grade printer. This is something tech reviewer Cameron Coward found out to be all too true when reviewing a Procolored V11 Pro DTO UV Printer over on Hackster (via Techspot). The printer is supposed to be a fairly high quality device, for those looking...

Something that always impresses me in videogame tech is our ability to make it feel like you're doing something you're not. It's wild how quickly we get used to pushing buttons to control our virtual selves. Feedback for these interactions, on the other hand, has always been one of the weakest factors when it comes to interacting with these digital worlds. Things like rumble feedback, and even smell-a-vision can help...
