Battlefield 6 Season 3 will bring major “targeted improvements” to improve vehicle gameplay, DICE Game Designer Chris Matte has revealed in a new developer deep dive. After studying player feedback and statistics from the past months of the multiplayer game, Matte acknowledges that “the moment to moment experience hasn’t always felt as satisfying as it should, particularly when it comes to how vehicle strengths and drawbacks play out in combat.” In particular, the team is focusing on making them “more consistent, readable, and responsive” with the BF6 Season 3 update. “We’ve seen consistent feedback around predictability, survivability, and responsiveness,” the…
Old School RuneScape is no stranger to bizarre, self-imposed player challenges or unusual but beneficial bugs, yet the latest intersection of these two has sparked an ugly discussion in the MMO’s community, and it all started with a YouTuber whose account was reset by developer Jagex shortly after he finished the kind of grind that I wouldn’t wish on people doomed to at least the shallower circles of Hell.On May 5, OSRS YouTuber Rendi, known for years for finding strange ways to complete content and challenges at perilously low combat levels, celebrated reaching level 99 Slayer on his level 3…
When is the Subnautica 2 release date? A decade after the original Subnautica launched into the deep blue sea of early access, Unknown Worlds has finally revealed the hit series’ next evolution. While it promises more of the same open-water exploration we love, Subnautica 2 is finally bringing a native multiplayer experience to the table. However, just because you’ve got a few buddies to go diving with, that doesn’t mean the survival game will be any less terrifying than its predecessor. To find out all we know about the Subnautica 2 release date and what the game entails, read on.…
Obbe Vermeij is best known as a Rockstar veteran who served as a technical director on the classic PS2 Grand Theft Auto trilogy and GTA 4. But his days at Rockstar are long past, and he’s spent the past few years working on something completely different: a sandbox game that, despite the implications younger gamers seem to be taking from its low-fi, blocky visuals, is nothing like Minecraft.”After 3 years of work, it’s finally here,” Vermeij said on Twitter alongside the game’s May 5 launch. “My new game Plentiful launched in Early Access today. It’s a sandbox where every change…
Been a bit of a week for the Steam Controller, ‘ey? It launched earlier this week sans console, only for Valve and everyone else to find that it pretty much immediately sold out. Tech scarcity? Who could have seen that one coming, even for something as simple as a controller! That then resulted in some naughty people flogging them on eBay for at least double the price, but worry not intrepid purchaser, for Valve have shared details on how they plan to dole out the controller going forward. “Steam Controller launched on May 4th, and while we were…
Path of Exile 2 Return of the Ancients is so big that it’s scary, both as a player and someone attempting to summarize it. My quick-form notes from the Grinding Gear Games presentation alone come in at almost 900 words. On the cards is a complete endgame redesign, built to feel more deliberate and structured, while giving you more control over what and how you play. There are also a heap of extra systems including Atlas Ascendancies, evolutions of all of the core mechanics, and new league Runes of Aldur. The good news is that, despite this, the new PoE…
Paranormal Activity: Threshold has been one of the most promising upcoming horror games on my radar since it was revealed back in 2024, and so it’s with great sadness that I’m now reporting on its complete cancellation.Brian Clarke, the legendary horror indie developer behind 2022 mortician simulator The Mortuary Assistant, took to social media to share the incredibly disappointing news of Paranormal Activity: Threshold’s cancelation. The thing that makes this all the more stinging to digest is that the issue wasn’t a lack of interest or direction on Clarke’s part – it was license holder Paramount denying Clarke the additional…
A huge new Crimson Desert update has just solved probably the biggest frustration for long-term players. Once you’re past the slow, awkward on-ramp, Crimson Desert opens up into one of the most stunning and freeform open-world games I’ve played in years, and the combat systems let you get up to some ludicrous shenanigans. There’s just one problem: by the time you have access to your full toolkit, you’ll likely have cleared out most of the big stronghold battles and boss fights that you might want to use them in. Fortunately, Pearl Abyss is continuing to respond to player demand. The…
I’m now perhaps overly self-conscious about when I use a certain word starting with “f” and ending with “riendslop,” but casual co-op, low-fi visuals, and proximity chat is clearly a winning formula. The latest hit in that space is Sledding Game, which reached 100,000 copies sold and overwhelmingly positive Steam reviews just days after launch, and nobody’s more surprised than the mostly solo developer who brought it to life.We’ll put the usual caveats on “solo” here – you will see the credits for music and the logo on the Steam page – but the bulk of Sledding Game is the…
Lucky you! You’ve got a look at two World of Darkness games in one today (that’s the Vampire: The Masquerade universe, for those asking). First is one we already knew about, Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish (is it also a World of Darkness requirement for the secondary subtitle to always be followed by a hyphen?), which received less of a gameplay deep dive and more of a light splash. The second is the reveal of Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Rageborn (see what I mean?), a metroidvania where, as the name suggests, you’re a werewolf! First, that look at…
