Hang out with a game developer in a casual setting for an hour and the topic of gamedev misconceptions is bound to come up. It's always fun to explain what people get wrong about your job, especially if it could lead to fewer misguided assumptions and mean comments on the internet.Such was the goal of a monster feature interviewing 32 game developers published today at GamesRadar, which included several choice...

The Switch 2’s mouse functionality is a nifty idea, but let’s face it, the prospect of scrolling around for hours with something that wasn’t designed from the ground up with that functionality in mind sounds like a recipe for hand cramps. Fortunately, you’ll have options. In April, Polygon had a chance to take the Switch 2’s mouse controls for a test run. At the time we noted that the Joy-Con...
Snake Eater is special. And as much as I love Cold War Metal Gear, I'm not talking about the game. I'm talking about the song. From the first drum hits and horn blasts, the Snake Eater theme, sung by vocalist Cynthia Harrell, is in perfect alignment with the game it's introducing.It's bombastic; it's espionage-smooth; it's goofy when it tells you you'll feed on a tree frog and it's unflinchingly earnest...

The Splitgate 2 open beta is not going well—in fact, it's not going at all. After running headlong into serious technical problems following the launch of the beta test on May 22, developer 1047 Games has taken the servers offline and is now "working around the clock" to get things fixed and back online."Obviously this is not the spot we thought we'd be in 24 hours after the launch of...

Verso is happy taking back seat in your Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 party. He provides damage buffs to your team and then helps your primary damage-dealer quickly rout the enemy. His playstyle is reminiscent of Capcom’s Devil May Cry series, since you must rack up damage and dodges across multiple turns to increase your rank (called Perfection in Expedition 33) from D to S — though if you get hit, Verso’s...

As of an update on May 22, the Mandalorian (actually, multiple of them) have touched down in Fortnite, appearing on the island as part of the Chapter 6 Star Wars season. You can find a couple of these guys around the island, and they serve different functions as they have various specialties. You’ll also have to complete a quest with them before you can actually hire them. Below we explain...
There was a brief surge of excitement a couple days ago when Larian Studios temporarily changed its handle on X from @larianstudios to @divinity. This was a big deal (or at least it appeared to be) because prior to hitting the big big time with Baldur's Gate 3, Larian was known as the studio behind the very long-running Divinity series of mostly-RPGs—and the name change had an awful lot of...

The engine class is meant to be the hardest challenge in the game, but even so, racing in 200cc can sometimes feel egregiously punishing. There’s a reason for that: Apparently, the number does not accurately represent the jump in speed that Mario Kart 8 really throws at you. As highlighted by the ever-great Supper Mario...
