Mark Hamill has shared his thoughts on Dave Filoni taking over as co-head of Lucasfilm, and it sounds like he couldn’t be happier.Filoni and Lynwen Brennan officially became co-presidents earlier this year, replacing Kathleen Kennedy.In a recent interview, Hamill told USA Today that he “can’t think of better hands” than Filoni, who understands Star Wars “so well.”Article continues below You may like “George was a mentor to Dave, so he knows George’s sensibility,” he added, praising the “great stuff” Filoni has worked on, like The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett.Hamill, of course, played Luke Skywalker in the original…
Didn’t expect to see me here, did you? Well, as always there’s a new – if slightly abbreviated – week of PC games to dissect. Edwin’s away travelling the world and hopefully encountering some tolerable bed and breakfasts, so I’ve popped in to see what sorts of stuff we can stick in the Maw in order to keep it happy for the next few days. Wish me luck! Or perhaps don’t. Maybe you want the Maw to consume us all. To be honest, that doesn’t sound too bad. I could hang out behind one of its teeth, make a little…
LG and Samsung have been dominating the gaming monitor space in recent years, thanks to them being the two big players in OLED monitor production. This latest display from LG, though, is perhaps the most desirable of the lot right now. Called the LG Ultragear 39GX950B-B, this huge ultrawide, 39-inch gaming monitor packs in a very high resolution and can switch between running at 165Hz or a blazing-fast 330Hz. Announced a while ago, LG has now put a price on this potentially perfect panel, and while there’s no doubt the specs of this display make it one of the best…
The original announce trailer for State of Decay 3 was just a concept trailer, because work on the game itself hadn’t even started.That’s according to Undead Labs studio head Philip Holt, who revealed on the Sunny Games podcast that the reveal trailer shown during an Xbox Showcase in July 2020 was purely designed to announce that the game was coming, because at that time there was no game to speak of.When asked if the zombie deer that featured in that trailer would be appearing in State of Decay 3, Holt said they wouldn’t be in the game because the trailer…
A new mid-season trailer for Daredevil: Born Again season 2 has spoiled a pretty major plot development for Jessica Jones – and fans aren’t happy about it (spoilers ahead).In the new clip, as Jessica appears in her signature leather jacket and some sunglasses, she tells Daredevil, “They showed up at my house with my daughter there.”The fact that Krysten Ritter’s superhero-turned-PI has become a mother since we last saw her on our screens is a pretty big twist. Is Luke Cage the father? Does that mean we can expect to see another Defender join the MCU?Article continues below You may…
If you have been keeping a candle lit for State Of Decay 3 since its 2020 reveal trailer purely for the prospect of fighting a zombie deer then, I’m afraid, it’s time to blow that candle out. Apparently, the CGI reveal trailer was made when the open-world zombie survival game was barely a concept. Six years on from the reveal, Undead Labs have a working build of the game and it doesn’t feature the reanimated corpse of Bambi. Though it does let you turn a kettle into an IED.
Yoshihisa Kishimoto, credited as one of the main pioneers of the beat ’em up genre, has died aged 64.Kishimoto’s career as a developer started in the early 1980s, and his early works included Laserdisc FMV games Cobra Command and Road Blaster, both of which were released in 1984 and would be ported to the Mega CD nearly a decade later (the latter was renamed Road Avenger in the West).It was his work in the beat ’em up genre where Kishimoto made his name, however. He was the designer and director of Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun, the 1986 game which was renamed…
A24’s Elden Ring movie has seemingly entered production, as a TikTok account has posted video of an apparent set for the film out in a random field somewhere in England. The set video, seen below, shows off a statue of Marika, a key character in the lore of the game, built to be remarkably close to the actual in-game environments.The video comes courtesy of the TikTok account of Elden Ring streamer Throx, who confirmed to Kotaku that a friend told them the location of the set, which they then visited.Check it out:Article continues below You may like The Elden Ring…
All right, giddy up. My bum isn’t digging into your shoulders too much, is it? No, sorry other Geralt, I was talking to Yen. How’s she doing at the bottom of this flesh tower we’ve decided to form in The Witcher 3’s multiplayer mod? Ah, I see. Well, I can’t print that sort of language, so I’m just going to write that she’s really enjoying the latest major update to Witcher Online.
Designer Gabe Cuzzillo’s reflections on the literal and meditative walking simulator Baby Steps were a highlight of GDC. In his panel, Cuzzillo discussed how the game’s mountainous open world was curated, made, and tested – and, in some cases, not tested. A moment that stood out to me was a comparison made to Valve’s Half-Life, or rather, comments from designer Greg Coomer in the developer commentary of Half-Life 2: Episode 2.In a section highlighted by Cuzzillo, Coomer examines a section of tunnels: “Before we simplified the path through the Guardian’s Lair, we allowed a right turn at this junction, leading…
