Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and fellow GOTY trophy glutton Baldur’s Gate 3 before it were held up by some as a return to form for turn-based RPGs. But while they did respectively bring or reintroduce a lot of people and attention to JRPGs and CRPGs, and serve as exemplars of their genres, turn-based games never really went away or needed saving. Kazuhisa Wada, head of Persona team P-Studio at Atlus, says “what we’re calling a ‘resurgence’ may simply be the rediscovery of things that had fallen outside our field of view.”In a conversation with Game Informer, Wada admits “this might…

We still don’t know how long it’s going to be before Haunted Chocolatier is ready, and it seems like even Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone isn’t sure, either. Making the new game is a lot more challenging than creating Stardew Valley, according to Barone – after all, he didn’t have the legacy of one of the biggest indie hits of all time to deal with back then.Barone now tries to spend five days a week on Haunted Chocolatier and two on Stardew Valley, as he explains in a new interview with Game Informer (paid article link). “It’s kind of hard to switch…

It is, obviously, way too early to know anything that’s worth anything about Star Wars: Fate Of The Old Republic just yet. The KOTOR spiritual successor was only revealed last December, and it was one of those CG trailers that exist to build hype and to tell prospective hirees that they can apply for a job without having to worry about breaking several thousand NDAs. But one thing we can hopefully say about it? There won’t be any AI (the bad kind) found within it. Speaking in an interview with Bloomberg, Hudson first explained that he’s hoping to…

I do not trust the ocean. It’s too big! There’s too much going on in that thing and oh how I pray and pray for the day that James Cameron stops messing around down there. Makes for a good horror setting though, as evidenced by the likes of BioShock, SOMA, and Iron Lung, and now KEROGEN is entering the fray for the title of “I’m not sure I can keep my eyes open while I play this” that SOMA currently holds in my heart. KEROGEN, a psychological horror where you “dredge up corpses from an oil-drenched nightmare,” pits…

Sir Ian McKellen says comic book movie monologues are rather short in length… and that’s pretty understandable coming from an award-winning West End and Broadway actor.”I think the script has been grounded in work based on the most wonderful writing,” McKellen told the crowd at a screening for The Christophers attended by GamesRadar+. “Whether it’s Shakespeare or Marlowe or Oscar Wilde or Noel Coward or Tom Stoppard or Simon Stevens or in translation, and they express what they want to say in the most wonderful language, which is beyond those people. And I want to speak these words. Now what…

While there has always been a portion of the games industry that’s pushed and pushed for the cutting edge of graphics, using only the prettiest polygons and most verdant vertices in their games, Bioshock director Ken Levine hasn’t got much time for graphical realism: “It’s expensive and it doesn’t age”. That’s not to say Judas, his narratively-flexible immersive sim follow up to Bioshock, will look like a dog’s dinner, rather he’s making an argument for style over photorealism.

We all love a little city builder around here, right? Course we do! But I’m sure not all of our friends do, they’d rather be off hacking and slashing and other such brutish things. KingFish, then, might present a pleasant opportunity to bring you and said friend together, for it is both a city builder and an action game, where one of you gets to do the building, while the other gets to do the fighting. Well, sort of anyway, the split isn’t quite so even, but we’ll get into that in a moment. Let’s touch on the…
