Nivalis is a game that whenever I see it I just think “oh, that can’t be right, games like this don’t actually exist do they?” Arguable, until it’s actually out, its existence is neither here nor there. But at the very least for the month of February, instead of talking at us lot in their monthly devlogs, developer Ion Lands opted to show off a little snippet of the game’s opening moments to tide us over until release. As it turns out, the game starts as many often (perhaps too often) do, with you waking up not quite entirely…
Path of Exile 3.28 is looking spicy, and I’m glad to see that the wider PoE community has responded with a similar level of excitement to my own impressions of the Mirage league and new-look endgame Atlas map. Ahead of the reveal, I sat down to speak across timezones with game director Mark Roberts and game designer Christopher ‘Octavian’ Laferriere to discuss the best Mirage activities in 3.28, how Grinding Gear Games is expanding the main campaign, and the new update’s impact on the eternal ground loot debate. Last time I spoke to Roberts, he admitted that balancing his time…
Pokemon Gold & Silver might be iconic now (alongside the revised and definitive Pokemon Crystal), but Game Freak’s second generation of the monster catcher faced one of the hardest tasks of any Pokemon game – living up to the genuine global phenomenon that was Pokemon Red and Blue. The feeling of anticipation from a fan community that devoured the original games, plus the anime, card game, and beyond, was monumental. How can you improve on what, for many, already felt perfect?Plenty of ways, of course – and we didn’t know it until it was in our hands. Deeply innovative, Pokemon…
Ah, it’s a Friday night, time to rela- Wait a minute, long-time Microsoft gaming CEO Phil Spencer’s retiring, his assumed replacement and Xbox president Sarah Bond has resigned, and the suit now being tapped to take over Spenny’s gig currently has the following job title: president of Microsoft’s CoreAI product. Right, guess I’m writing a news.
Where is the pantry key in Resident Evil Requiem? The pantry can be found just off the kitchen area as you go through the West Wing. This is the first area that you unlock and once you get to the end of the corridor, the zombie chef is cooking up a storm, muttering ‘next’ to himself and just seems generally angry with his situation. It’s worth noting, this guide contains minor spoilers. If you sneak around the counter, you’ll come across the pantry door, which is currently locked. This is one of Resident Evil Requiem’s optional rooms, and you don’t…
I knew two things for certain going into Resident Evil Requiem: first, that Leon S. Kennedy would be co-starring. Secondly, if this were true, we’d be treated to a whole bunch of Easter eggs.With Capcom bringing one of the best survival horror game series back to Raccoon City – where Leon’s journey began – and celebrating 30 years of Resident Evil, it would be impossible to resist dropping one or two little nods along the way. Some are more pointed than others, while others might not have even crossed your mind. I’m sure I’ve missed a handful out (some intentionally…
Saturday mornings are hopefully for not feeling hungover or beaten-up or assassinated. You see, it’s Friday as I write these words, and I’ve just been invited out for drinks in the park with one Graham Smith, former RPS EIC and nowadays, co-founder of disgraceful champagne socialist operation Jank.cool, an indie joint the rabble-rousers among you are already calling “RPS when it was good”. What’s the matter, aren’t we feeding you enough Deals posts?
How do you start New Game Plus in Resident Evil Requiem? If you’ve already wrapped up your first playthrough of Resident Evil Requiem and are about to start your next, here’s what you need to know about New Game Plus, including the items that carry over and how saved data works. Starting your next playthrough means you get a chance to collect all the Resident Evil Requiem rewards and challenges you missed the first time around, like getting the optional pantry key or collecting all antique coins. Starting a new game is slightly fiddly, though, if you’re not sure how…
Pokemon Winds and Waves have been confirmed, ushering in Gen 10 in 2027. But while today is a period of celebration among the entire community, marking 30 years since the original launch of the very first games in the series, it’s also a day I’m wary of, because it reminds me that we’ve been here before – and Game Freak might not get away with a repeat of what happened last time.Pokemon Scarlet and Violet were undeniable successes for Nintendo, shipping a combined 28 million copies to surpass Sword and Shield and become the second best-selling entries in the series,…
The Sunday Papers is our weekly roundup of great writing about (mostly) videogames from across the web. Sundays are for finally biting the bullet and spending some of your Christmas money on a boxset of 2000s British Touring Car Championship season reviews. You stick the first DVD in, a three hour trip back through the 2000 season of car touring around the finest tarmac-filled fields Britain has to offer. You think of the American readers, and make a mental note to explain to them that the action you’re watching is a bit like NASCAR, except with no oval tracks, smaller…
