There’s nothing more spooky than having to neatly get your message across in a limited number of words which may or may not have to rhyme or stick to iambic pentameter. That’s something Polish horror devs Bloober Team clearly understand, since they whipped out some William Blake poetry over the weekend, in order to reveal that Layers of Fear 3 will be a thing.

The Hundred Line has changed how I think about choice and consequences in games, and I can't put it back in the box
While some of the best story games tell a distinct tale that’s set in stone, videogames are able to elevate the format by involving you directly in the outcome of events. Committing to this as a developer is tough; do you limit the choice largely to the very end, ensuring the majority of your game is seen by everyone, or do you accept that your players might miss large chunks of what you’ve created? The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy commits to the latter in a way few games can get away with, and the result has wormed its way…

Nintendo’s continuing its ongoing crusade against Switch emulation as the company just dished out a fresh helping of DMCAs to several major emulators.As you might remember, Nintendo first came down hard on emulation two years ago when it targeted the first Switch emulator, Yuzu, with a lawsuit that ended with its creator paying $2.4 million in a settlement. A few months later, Ryujinx also went offline after Nintendo apparently “offered an agreement to stop working on the project.” At the time, the fates of both were seen as a potentially bad omen for the future of Switch emulation, and that…
Silent Hill Townfall looks like the most Silent Hill game in years, and I never thought that could be a bad thing until now
The most dramatic thing about Silent Hill Townfall is its first person perspective. It’s the only aspect that has me inching forward in my seat while watching the upcoming horror game’s first proper trailer.Heavy fog creeps through a washed-out, nondescript coastal town called St Amelia – based on a Scottish island, I learn through a 30-minute deep dive. A man cradles a gun, a disembodied woman’s voice tells him he “did what he did,” there’s plenty of hospital imagery, and finally, violent manifestations of his guilt-ridden consciousness swarm him in the streets. It boasts everything that made the best Silent…

Making Fallout, Bethesda Game Studios realized "being realistic sometimes isn't fun" in games, dev says
While making its version of the post-apocalyptic wasteland in Fallout 3, developer Bethesda Game Studios stumbled upon the revelation that maybe sticking to realism isn’t the best route to fun in games.Long time Bethesda designer and writer Emil Pagliarulo said as much in a retrospective interview with Game Informer, revealing that the studio originally “had this thought that the Metro would be connected completely underground” of Fallout 3’s Washington DC map.”And we realized it was just too sprawling. It was too big,” he adds. “We had to cut down sections, and it’s a lesson we’ve learned over the years: that…
