007 First Light's License to Kill system adds nuance to its escalating action as "Bond won't shoot an unarmed man," says developer
007 First Light flexes plenty of the sly, creative problem solving IO Interactive has been building over the course of the Hitman series. But, it’s still a licensed game – building on over 70 years of James Bond movies and books – which means that a gaming adaptation is still going to need to fit within the rules for what Bond is.”We define the rule set in some way, though, which is quite nice,” says senior combat designer Tom Marcham. It’s been up to the team to carve out how IO Interactive’s unique spin on a young James Bond, earning…
Slay the Spire 2 patches are half as frequent as the first game's because doing weekly updates "was a lot of work so it really sucked"
Slay the Spire 2 maker Mega Crit has stopped patching its hit roguelike every single week because an update cadence that frequent understandably sucks for everyone involved, according to the indie dev.As Mega Crit pushed yet another patch into Steam’s beta branch earlier today, the studio took some time to address its slightly slower-than-usual release timings. Rather than enjoying weekly patches, as the first Slay the Spire did, the sequel now gets patched every two weeks instead.But don’t worry, fortnightly patches are an effort to pump out (hopefully) better updates that don’t burn the devs to to ash. Plus, Mega…
Slay the Spire 2 patch hits the nuclear option, deletes Doormaker boss countless players hated: "He was over the complexity threshold of what we want"
For weeks, many Slay the Spire 2 players have complained to developer Mega Crit about the Act 3 boss Doormaker. The game’s Steam review score plummeted, largely due to reviews from Chinese users, as Doormaker hate crept into feedback. How can Mega Crit make the boss fun and balanced, even though it was apparently already “slightly weaker” than the other Act 3 bosses by many metrics? It was already reworked once, after all.Mega Crit had another idea, per today’s Slay the Spire 2 patch notes: get rid of it.Yes, the Doormaker is gone. Dead. Deleted. Poof! In his place stands…
Devil May Cry showrunner rallies against the "Marvel-ification" of IP, but says Capcom and Netflix's instructions were refreshingly different: "Go and execute your vision"
Netflix’s Devil May Cry creator and showrunner Adi Shankar has praised the amount of free rein given to him by the streamer and Capcom, the video game franchise’s custodians.”I’m fortunate to be in a spot where I have so much control over the show [and] the destiny of the show,” Shankar begins in an interview with GamesRadar+ – before turning his attention towards what he dubs an “art by committee” way of thinking.”There’s an art by committee thing that has proliferated through Hollywood as a result of, really, the ‘Marvel-ification’ of movies, right? The art by committee thing has seeped…
Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Renoir actor Andy Serkis is "so thrilled" for Sandfall Interactive devs after their debut RPG's success: "It's such an emotional story"
Sandfall Interactive’s mammoth J’RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 had some Hollywood credentials in the form of Andy Serkis in the cast. The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars icon voiced Renoir in the game, and he’s over the moon for how it’s been received.”They sent me the pitch deck and I looked at it, and I just thought, ‘This is so interesting.’ What a video game. And I’m so thrilled for these guys because I love the idea of it, but I love the visuals of it,” he tells Variety (below). “I just thought it was beautiful, and I’m…
Destiny 2 players pick out a grave as Bungie confirms it's got nothing to say and Sony admits it's down $765 million on the studio: "There's no way this game keeps getting DLC"
The one-two punch of Sony reporting a further impairment loss from buying Bungie – now totaling $765 million in the last financial year, more than 21% of the $3.6 billion it spent on the studio – and Bungie itself admitting it still has nothing of note to say has sent Destiny 2 players deeper down the stages of grief.On May 7, less than 24 hours before Sony released the earnings report revealing this staggering impairment loss, Destiny 2 communications manager dmg04 addressed the game’s community on Twitter.”Still have a few lighter TWIDs in the pipe,” he says, setting expectations for…

Rejoice, Doormaker haters, for Mega Crit have removed him from Slay the Spire 2 in favour of a brand new boss
Another week, another Slay the Spire 2 patch! Or really I should say another couple of weeks. The new beta version of the game, v0.105.0, is ready for those of you on the beta branch to try out, and the first point of order is bi-weekly patching. “As you’ve probably noticed, we’re moving to patch every 2 weeks rather than weekly as outlined in our Early Access Disclaimer,” explain developer Mega Crit. “This may be a bit surprising as the first game patched weekly, but it was a lot of work so it really sucked.” Mega Crit went…
