Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is an absolutely huge game by pretty much every metric, but it was made on a much tighter budget than comparable RPGs like Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows and EA’s Dragon Age: The Veilguard. However, instead of trying to directly compete with those giga budget projects, Warhorse decided to forge its own distinct path forward.Talking to Edge Magazine for issue #420, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 lead designer Prokop Jirsa explained the game’s brilliant balancing of hardcore RPG and survival elements with approachable systems that, in my experience, always feel just on the edge of being too demanding,…
What would happen if you took Red Dead Redemption, made it top-down and 2D, infested it with eldritch horrors, and threw in some soulslike combat? Well, you’d get something not too dissimilar to Tombwater. We’ve had our eye on this intriguing and surprisingly deep Western game for a while, and while there’s sadly no news to share on a firm release date just yet, solo developer Moth Atlas has got me salivating all over again by revealing all seven of its starting classes. Already renowned for his 2D homage to Bloodborne, Moth Atlas (led by Max Mraz and Jake Wagner)…
New Fable developer Playground Games has been careful not to slavishly emulate the work of series creator Lionhead Games, but the new shepherds of the IP did obviously want to examine and learn from the games that came before them. As part of this history lesson, the studio unearthed design files that were evidently stored away before or around the time Xbox shut down Lionhead a decade after acquiring the studio and mismanaging it into dust – a misstep that Xbox leadership has publicly owned up to in the past. Surely they wouldn’t do that again.In an Xbox Wire post,…
I love a good Twitch drop. As someone who spends far too much time on the purple platform, watching the likes of Marc ‘Caedrel’ Lamont scream at League of Legends, every time I earn a new reward I get that little dopamine hit. But, despite launching Season 1 on Wednesday January 21, 2XKO has found itself in hot water with content creators, as its new Twitch campaign feels more like free promotion than something that rewards hours watched. Global head of player community Erin ‘Aureylian’ Wayne has responded to concerns over the program, promising a “better solution for future activations”…
The Forza series – which lets you drive at 300mph – is not one you might automatically associate with “responsibility,” but the upcoming Forza Horizon 6 is going to teach you to take some, damn it.The Japan-set racing game out on May 19, per the January 22 Xbox Developer Direct, will introduce new, fantastic stretches of rural land called Estates, which are yours to customize exactly how you want… as long as you can afford it.Per an Xbox Wire post, “The Estate is a flat area of land where you can build anything you want – a mountain hideaway, a…
Secretlab is well known for its gaming chair brand collaborations, creating some of my favorite gaming chair designs ever. From its classic Minecraft and League of Legends designs to its more recent Warhammer 40K options, it has an incredible selection. The latest, though, is perhaps my favorite yet, as Secretlab and Pokemon have just announced their new line of Secretlab Pokemon gaming chairs. Based on Secretlab’s superb Titan Evo chair, which currently sits atop our best gaming chair guide, the new collection lets you choose from either an Eevee, Gengar, or Pikachu design, with the whole chair given a complete…
Steve Downes, the iconic voice behind Master Chief from the Halo franchise, has joined the chorus of high-profile voice actors speaking out against the use of AI in voice performances. However, his concern is very specifically related to the alarming prospect of developers using real voice recordings to make AI clones of those voices.In a YouTube AMA going live today, Downes made it very clear that he does not approve of anyone using AI to replicate his voice. “That’s where we cross a line that gets into an area that I am uncomfortable with,” Downes said in a clip taken…
Following the rollout of a new Counter-Strike 2 update and the start of Premier Season 4, dozens of reports of unjustified VAC bans have been flying in from players. X and Reddit are awash with screenshots and clips of people being banned by Valve’s anti-cheat in the hours following the update’s rollout, with the majority claiming to be legitimate players that have never cheated – emphasis, as always, on ‘claiming.’ Among those being banned is one of the designers for the Alpine map that was just officially brought into CS2 in the new update. Something has clearly changed with VAC’s…
Hollywood had been asking Bethesda to make a Fallout movie or TV show for a decade before the hit Prime Video TV show adaptation, according to studio veteran Emil Pagliarulo, but the developer continually refused until they found the right people to run the show.In an interview with our pals at PC Gamer, Pagliarulo explained why Bethesda kept rejecting pitches from Hollywood. Apparently, it’s all thanks to the face of the studio, Todd Howard.”Credit to Todd Howard, we could have made a Fallout movie or Fallout TV show a decade ago – we had certainly been asked. But Hollywood, at…
Not really sure you can stake a claim on the Middle Ages, lads. Kingdom Come Deliverance fans have been quick to criticize new medieval RPG, Knight’s Path, for being, in their eyes, too similar to Warhorse’s 2025 epic. Turns out, in fact, that anything striving for historical accuracy (even if there are wyverns in this one) will tend to look similar – that’s probably why you’re interested in it. Knight’s Path released a trailer yesterday, and it got a lot of attention. The YouTube video has garnered a very respectable 260k views at the time of writing, and the X…
