Developing the original Pokemon games wasn’t exactly straightforward, says series boss Tsunekazu Ishihara, but the team at Game Freak remained “confident in the main gameplay elements” since they were all “tied to experiences everyone had as children,” and they wanted “many people” to experience them via their RPGs.In a new video message shared during the New York Game Awards – following Pokemon’s win of the Andrew Yoon Legend Award – Ishihara, who served as producer of Pokemon Red and Green, discusses the origins of the iconic RPG series, which turns 30 this year. “Pokemon originated from a small idea from…
AMD’s generosity with the amount of VRAM it has packed into its current-generation Radeon RX 9000 series graphics cards could be coming back to bite it, as a new report suggests that the company is pushing production away from its second-tier RX 9070 in favor of the more powerful and pricey RX 9070 XT. Because VRAM is getting so expensive, and both cards have 16GB of VRAM, the company appears to have concluded that it makes more sense to focus on the more lucrative flagship option. In many ways, the RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 are the graphics cards…

If you were an early buyer of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and paid particular attention to Maelle, you likely picked up on just how ridiculous her Stendhal move is. The late-game ability essentially nukes one target, and if you stack that damage, oh boy, it’s a world of hurt. This blast of pain actually stemmed from a swift pre-release change by Sandfall, because it was originally considerably weaker.The team admitted such during a chat with Edge magazine. “[Maelle’s Stendhal skill] was very bad during all the playtests,” Guillaume Broche, creative director on Clair Obscur, stated, “and we decided to change…

Hytale was always destined to have a thriving modding scene – Hypixel Studios built it so! However, I’ve still been blown away by some of the tools and creations players have cooked up since it launched nearly a week ago. However, while some aim to make useful Hytale mods that can enhance other players’ time in the game, others with a more chaotic-neutral disposition are there to simply see what kind of unusual stuff they can do. As is tradition, it didn’t take long for someone to get the original Doom running inside of Hytale, but that’s been swiftly followed…

Fallout London project lead Dean Carter hopes that Bethesda will either have given up on or overhauled the Creation Engine by the time Fallout 5 comes out.If you look at Bethesda Game Studios’ history, its games all have engine similarities going back to 2003’s Morrowind. NetImmerse – which was renamed Gamebryo in 2003 – was used for Elder Scrolls 4, as well as Fallout 3. Then Bethesda debuted the Creation Engine for The Elder Scrolls 5, a proprietary engine based on GameBryo, and later used it for Fallout 4, with Starfield using the updated Creation Engine 2. However, despite Bethesda’s…
Valve have made changes to Steam’s community awards system to discourage people from posting daft and angry posts in order to farm Steam points. You will, in fact, no longer be able to receive Steam points from other users when they give you awards. Adding insult to injury, there’s a new set of awards that are explicitly designed to spread goodwill. Filth!
