"We don't want to simplify it and make it easy, that's not where we're at": Planet Zoo 2 developer on approachability, animal improvements, and all new habitats
After seeing Planet Zoo 2 gameplay behind closed doors, I’ve often thought about its sag mechanics. It’s a word that made the developers at Frontier laugh and wince at the same time, chuckling that they really couldn’t call it that at launch. But, despite the connotations, it really does play a key part in one of the big new additions for Planet Zoo 2 – the aviaries.These huge new habitats are built on the enclosure mechanics from the original game, but with a key difference being canopies that you can craft as roofs to keep your new feathered pals safely…
This week in PC games: some enormous space sims and strategy games, plus a cheery prop hunt where you paint your own camouflage
Good news, everybody! We made it through the Summer Game Fest weekend pretty much unscathed. True, I have depleted neighbourhood stocks of ginseng and also, lost the ability to blink, but we got another Duskers out of it, didn’t we? Also some footage of gunfights in a Fumito Ueda game, which distressed me less than it might have if I’d had any fluid left in my head when they screened the thing. In equally happy news, we’ve dealt with the problem of the Maw eating Geoff Keighley and/or spawning a phantom double of Geoff Keighley. I mean, we didn’t do…
The Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis system requirements are more demanding than many modern games, but should still allow most players to fire up the game, even if it means running it on low settings. With GPU options starting at either an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 or RTX 2060 Super, or an AMD Radeon RX 5700, those still stuck on the likes of a GTX 1060 will be out of luck, but any newer, more powerful card should stand you in good stead. In other words, no you won’t need to upgrade to the very best graphics card to run Tomb…
Goodbye Pizza Hut, hello Five Guys? Here’s some of the new real-life shops we’ve spotted in Crazy Taxi World Tour
After nearly two and a half decades, a brand new Crazy Taxi game is finally coming next year.A trailer for Sega‘s reboot was revealed during Sunday’s Xbox Games Showcase, confirming that it will be called Crazy Taxi: World Tour and will be released in 2027.While the trailer also hinted that the player will be travelling to numerous cities around the world (hence the game’s name), all of the footage focused on gameplay taking place in the city from the original Crazy Taxi.This city, which was later titled West Coast in sequels, is clearly based on San Francisco and has lots…
Don't expect more Persona 6 info until after Persona 4 Revival releases, Atlus lead suggests, who looks forward "to sharing the incredible efforts" going into the JRPG
Persona 6 is finally happening, but its big Xbox Games Showcase announcement was incredibly vague, and according to Kazuhisa Wada, director at Atlus’s P-Studio, it doesn’t sound like we can expect more details anytime soon, either.I’m sure I’m not the only one whose highlight of the big Xbox show yesterday was the Persona 6 reveal, but, uh, Atlus really didn’t give much away. We got a few extended, dark shots of the camera panning over what looks like a rainy graveyard, before moving to a green sky, some slightly creepy imagery of pointing hands, letters, and facial features, and then…
Bleak, disquieting action game Virtue and a Sledgehammer blends family heartbreak with stout wall-smashing in its new demo
Deconstructeam, of Many Nights a Whisper and The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, say their newest game Virtue and a Sledgehammer is about “feeling like you no longer belong in the place you grew up.” Judging from the newly released demo, it’s also about catharsis. Chunky, crumbly, crushing catharsis, injected through the handle of misappropriated demolition equipment.
Ace Combat 8's Kazutoki Kono has been burning the midnight oil, and fan support is keeping him going through the late nights
Ace Combat Series Brand Director Kazutoki Kono has been involved with the iconic dogfighting franchise for over 30 years now. Working on a single game series for so many years requires not just dedication, but a level of obsession with the material. Ace Combat 7’s difficult development is well documented, while Kono has mentioned the long hours he’s putting into the upcoming Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve on social media. Clearly, Kono’s fire still burns as fiercely as it did three decades ago. I had the exceptional honor of sitting down with Kono, alongside Ace Combat 8 Producer Manabu…

Retro-focused game sellers GOG have apologised after sending out a newsletter featuring runes which have long served as Nazi symbols. The symbols appeared in the subject for an email promoting The End of the Sun, an adventure game about a Slavic fire mage who also dabbles in time manipulation.
