A developer working on Mass Effect 4 has spoken up about BioWare's plans for the now-canceled RPG. Tony de Waal was cinematic supervisor at the now shuttered studio. He joined the team "29+ years ago", left for a spell shortly after the launch of Mass Effect 2, and then returned in 2021 to work on Dragon Age: The Veilguard. According to de Waal, there were "50-ish" people working on Mass...
You'd think someone who still screams at the sight of the Tomb Raider T-Rex wouldn't be so into horror games, but I can't help myself; I love 'em. I'm always down for a good inhuman gurgle or unnatural skitter across the floor. Creature with too many eyeballs? Sign me up. Inordinate number of hands? I'm on my way.More quizzes!(Image credit: Future)Want to keep testing your knowledge of gaming trivia We've...
It took almost 25 years to happen, but Serious Sam: The Third Encounter is finally, actually happening. Croteam and Devolver Digital revealed today that a proper new game in the Serious Sam series is now in the early stages of development.Serious Sam: The Third Encounter will actually be the seventh mainline game in the series, thanks to its oddball naming scheme and twisted timeline. Here's how the whole thing breaks...
On October 20, the CEO for "AI storytelling" company Nura Studios posted a now-deleted tribute to Amanita Design's 2009 cult classic Machinarium. I saw a glimpse of the video while it was still live and it was undeniably AI generated, but that probably goes without saying given its provenance. It wasn't good, but then: Amanita Design is one of the most visually distinctive studios in the world. The Czech-based team...
BioWare was a legendary studio, and its shocking closure today has inspired numerous tributes from fans and fellow game developers alike. One of the most notable came from CD Projekt joint CEO Michał Nowakowski, who credited the studio for the big role it played in bringing The Witcher to life.It's hard to overstate the impact BioWare had on computer RPGs, from effectively resurrecting the genre in the 1990s with Baldur's...
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's big extraction mode DMZ has been out for one day, so it's a bit early to make sweeping declarations about balance, but even I'm raising an eyebrow at an operator trait that the internet is already calling broken.That's "broken" in the "so overpowered it shouldn't exist" way, not the "literally doesn't work way," though when you see Possum in action, it does give the...
Got a confusing order about finding a "dynamic op phone" in Modern Warfare 4 DMZ? You're not alone there: I've played around 15 hours of DMZ so far and this is the only objective that has genuinely confused me.The good news is the answer is simpler than it sounds. The whole order is really just a tutorial for DMZ's free roam option, demonstrating how to lay low and complete contracts.Where...
In anticipation of the full launch of World of Warcraft: Forever next month, Blizzard is throwing the gates wide open on the throwback MMO to stress test the servers.Anyone with a World of Warcraft account will be able to play the 'WoW: Forever - Stress Test" client in the Battle.net launcher later today. You don't need an active subscription, nor do you need to have purchased any of the WoW:...
An RTS is only as good as its campaign. Sure, it's the competitive multiplayer side of things that gives these games their long tail—StarCraft 2 has been the dominant RTS for 16 years for this very reason—but the bulk of initial players will first be seduced by the promise of a killer singleplayer romp. In this regard, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4 has the juice. I've had a couple...
I'm clinging to the hope that the memory supply crisis resolves sooner rather than later as much as the next PC gamer. Unfortunately, judging by how much of next year's memory supply has been locked down by long term agreements, it looks like things are about to get much worse before they get better.80% of Samsung's 2027 memory output has already been secured by long term agreements, according to Korean...
