OG Last of Us designer is still "pissed" about Naughty Dog re-doing his work for the remake: "It is literally taking my scripts, pushing delete, and putting all new scripts in"
For players like myself, The Last of Us Part 1 is a gorgeous modernization of one of the greatest survival horror games ever made, but for some of the developers who worked on the original game, the remake is a “sour spot” because it straight-up replaces many of the assets and systems they created. At the very least, it’s still a major pain point for original Last of Us combat designer Benson Russell, who gave an impassioned explanation in a recent interview.Russell, who was senior game designer at Naughty Dog when he left in 2015 after eight years with the…
Capcom’s hardware redemption continues with fatherly hack o’ shooter Pragmata, a smooth and low-end-friendly PC performer that’s far more Resident Evil Requiem than Monster Hunter Wilds. It’s maybe not quite on Requiem’s level of framerate abundance, and Pragmata struggles a teeny bit more on underpowered handheld PCs – which we both know means the Steam Deck – during its tougher stretches of polished moonbase corridors and electricity-spewing robofoes. But it does run well, especially by AAA standards, and matches Resi’s feat of producing a ray tracing setting that looks nice without pulverising your graphics card with a thousand gleaming hammers.…

"War is our reality": 4A reveal Metro 2039, a horror FPS inspired by Russia's invasion of Ukraine
As teased earlier in the week, Metro 2039 has been fully unveiled as a “harrowing” singleplayer horror-shooter that – following the roaming Metro Exodus – takes the FPS series back to the ruins of a nuclear-ravaged Moscow. Per Kyiv-based developers 4A Games, however, it will be “told from a distinctly Ukrainian perspective,” exploring the threat of autocratic tyranny with very much intentional parallels to Russia’s ongoing invasion of 4A’s home country. Set for release this Winter, Metro 2039 casts you as The Stranger, a mentally troubled (and, unlike original protagonist Artyom, fully voiced) survivor forced back down into the metro’s…
Metro 2039 is "much darker" than its predecessors, but most importantly it's a statement of intent
We’ve been waiting for a new Metro game for a long, long time. Exodus was released back in 2019, seven years ago. Metro Awakening was a VR-exclusive, and while it reviewed relatively well, I don’t know anyone who’s played it. Metro 2039, then, has some big shoes to fill. Set in the heart of a post-armageddon Russia, it’s not a game that misses and hits the wall. Its central narrative engages with themes of death, tyranny, and political manipulation, coalescing under the shadow of a ruined Saint Basil’s Cathedral. “Our games explore what humans were before the world ended… The…
4A Games has announced Metro 2039, and it’s coming to PlayStation, Xbox Series X/S, and PC later this year.Developer 4A Games showcased the sequel for the first time on Thursday, and in a pre-brief attended by VGC, it said that Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 “fundamentally changed,” not only life at the Ukraine-based studio, but also had a major impact on the game itself.While much of the team remains in Ukraine, the development team is now spread across 20 different nations. The game’s story will “focus acutely on choices, actions, consequences, and the cost of securing a…
Metro 2039 is the next game in the highly regarded post apocalyptic FPS and, fresh off its new reveal, there’s a trickle of info to digest about what’s coming. While surviving in a dirty and contaminated underground train system is still front and center for the experience, there are some big changes.The last game, Metro Exodus, saw regular hero Artyom looking for safe haven on the surface in an attempt to leave the tunnels behind. This time, Metro 2039 looks to be heading back underground and, for the the first time ever, the game won’t star it’s regular protagonist.While the…
