Sorry to all the Paranormal Activity heads out there, but the upcoming game adaptation Threshold has crossed over to the other side. Brian Clarke, the solo dev that goes by DarkStone Digital for his gaming exploits and maker of 2022’s The Mortuary Assistant, shared the news to his personal Zwitter account earlier this week alongside a statement explaining why the game has been cancelled. “It’s no secret that game development means constant change and challenges especially as a solo indie,” Clarke explains. “It became clear that the game needed more time to ensure it was the best it…

When it comes to ranking the best Witcher games, you’d be surprised by how many there are to sift through. I certainly was, and have spent the past three days getting my head around the many spin-offs to CD Projekt Red’s mainline RPG series. They all take place at different points in and around the original Polish novel saga, with a tiny bit of overlap with Netflix’s The Witcher TV series for good measure. But with so many titles to choose from, I’ve come up with a few rules in making this list to keep things nice and simple.Firstly, I’ve…
Some good news for the day: indie developer behind the cult classic psychic platformer Psychonauts and more Double Fine are unionising. As spotted by Aftermath, a petition was filed by the Microsoft-owned studio to the National Labor Relations board on May 7th, and are doing so with the Communications Workers of America (CWA), following suit from a number of other developers owned by the tech giant. “On May 7, the workers at Microsoft studio Double Fine Productions announced their decision to form a union with CWA to preserve and extend the studio’s commitments to creative excellence, diversity and…
I don’t have the grand affinity for the Alien franchise that some do, but Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 is one of the most exciting announcements this year for me on a personal level. Its predecessor ended up hooking me in far more than I could have anticipated, combining rewarding build decisions with intense action. It’s among the best co-op games of its type for my money, one I’d rank up with the likes of Mass Effect 3’s multiplayer mode and Helldivers 2. Now, it’s coming back, and it’s going even bigger than before. To start with, Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2…
If you squint a little, it’s the 1990s again – at least in terms of fighting games. Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and Tekken have all come out swinging in recent years, each reinventing themselves for a new generation with a series of hard-hitting titles.But the real bruising encounter is yet to come: as Mortal Kombat hits cinemas, a new feud has emerged between the casts of Mortal Kombat 2 and Street Fighter, bubbling with light-hearted animosity and a desire to be top dog at the box office.”We will dog-walk anyone from Mortal Kombat. Anybody. And I loved Mortal Kombat… but…

Nobody does sales like Steam. Pretty much all PC and console storefronts do similar themed, seasonal, and genuinely compelling sales, but for many gamers, nothing hits quite like a big Steam sale. Over a decade ago, Valve boss Gabe Newell articulated why, and it’s arguably truer today.In an old chat with PC Gamer, Newell examined how Valve’s storefront, and PC gaming in general, could stand out in the broader gaming landscape, then competing for visibility and dollars with the PS3 and Xbox 360.”The thing that we’ve been successful with are the Steam sales,” he said. “The sales have done a…
The tale of Civilization 7 and its controversial Ages system is now written into history, but it’s all about to change with the launch of the Test of Time update. This allows you to carry a single civ through the entire timeline rather than switching out at key junctures. That sounds simple enough, but it presents a whole host of problems due to the underlying balance of the 4X game. In a new blog post, Firaxis Games Design Lead Matt Owens explains how it’s solved this by giving its factions ways to adapt to eras outside of their heyday. Owens…
Skywind, the hugely ambitious fan project that aims to remake Morrowind in Skyrim’s engine, just got its first update in almost two years and it sounds closer to completion than ever before.Skywind was first revealed to the public shortly after Skyrim’s official launch about 14 years ago, billing itself as a faithful recreation of Morrowind, only this time with a more modern look, a full voice cast, and all the benefits you’d expect from about three console generations of gaming improvements.The Skywind team have now released another development update after the last one in 2024, and things seem to be…
