The Sims 4 is going the way of Roblox with a new marketplace where anyone can make moola from their custom creations
It could be that I’m being a tad dramatic here, but Fortnite, and particularly Roblox, might be two of the most annoying things to happen to games. Today, presumably in pursuit of infinite growth, EA announced a pair of Things you can now expect to see in The Sims 4, a new Sims Maker Program and Sims 4 Marketplace. Let’s start with the Maker Program, the essential foundation of this whole malarkey. It is essentially a system in which anyone that makes custom items for the game, typically released for free up to this point, particularly through modding,…
This Blumhouse-published cozy horror mashup could launch before Emberville, and I'm ready to get spooked
It’s been a good long while since Blumhouse Games announced plans to publish Grave Seasons, a game that gleefully (or gloomily, for the goths out there) brings a little sliver of horror and suspense to the cozy game genre. Now, thanks to a Nintendo indie showcase of all things, we know it’s set to cross the finish line soon. Well, soon-ish. Grave Seasons is slated to launch this Summer, which makes it a little awkward given the long, long hours of sunlight. Though the release date is still a little vague, it’s good to know that Grave Seasons, one of…

Replacing actors with AI is "dumb as hell," says Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Baldur's Gate 3 star Jennifer English, because "humanness" is what makes these RPGs "so beloved"
Actors across film, television, and video games have been among the many creative voices loudly pushing back against AI, and Jennifer English is no exception. In a recent podcast interview, the Baldur’s Gate 3 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 star said that creating these sorts of RPGs with generative AI would destroy the “humanness” that makes them so beloved in the first place.”I don’t want perfect in my art. I do not want it. And I find it all a bit embarrassing and stupid, frankly. Don’t replace humans with AI. That is dumb as hell,” English says in a Radio…
It was a little under a year ago that Bungie showed off Marathon proper and told us all it was coming out in September, only for everyone who had a chance to play it essentially say “ruh roh Raggy,” leading to an indefinite delay. And here we are now! Within spitting distance of the shooter launching, a server slam that felt like being stuck in an Nvidia graphics card behind us, and now a word straight from the mouths of its developers about what seasons will be like. For starters, according to this here posted blog, seasons will…
Capcom states that 50% of its game sales now come from PC, and expects "this ratio to continue increasing"
“PC sales account for approximately 50% of total unit sales,” according to Monster Hunter Wilds publisher Capcom. The news was shared during an earnings report at the end of January, but the official transcript has only just been made available in English. The timing of the earnings report means the standout statistic won’t have factored in the recent success of Resident Evil Requiem. Given that the publisher only dropped two games between it and Monster Hunter Wilds, its big-budget RPG, this time last year, it’s easy to imagine which series did the heavy lifting at the time. Still, it’s worth remembering…

The Sims 4 Marketplace is coming with paid mods – because if there's one thing fans of EA's life sim want after spending over $1,500 on DLC, it's definitely costly custom content
I am admittedly frustrated to report that The Sims 4 is getting a new feature that many of us might have preferred to live without – a paid “Marketplace” where we can, you guessed it, purchase custom content and mods from fellow fans.It’s not the thought of paying hard-working players for their work that upsets me. It’s the fact that, after spending over $1,500 on DLC (and, yes, you read that right), I will now be able to spend even more to spruce my base game experience up. The Sims 4 Marketplace, as EA has so aptly dubbed the feature,…
