Nioh 3 looks like an excellent sequel to my favorite soulslike, and you can get a pre-order discount right now
I know that many soulslike enjoyers will put FromSoftware as the titan of the genre, and that’s fair – they make the best soulslikes, and with the Dark Souls series, they thrust the subgenre of action-RPGs into the spotlight. However, Team Ninja doesn’t get enough respect as one of FromSoft’s biggest rivals, and with Nioh 3 on the horizon, it’s time to give them the recognition they deserve – and what better time to pre-order than when you can get a special discount? While Elden Ring and Dark Souls have more thoughtful, slower-paced combat, Nioh 3 is a lot faster.…
The Last of Us director used Ellie and Joel's bond as a reference for his new game, but the biggest inspiration was Ico, the first that made him cry
The Last of Us and Uncharted 4 game director Bruce Straley is back with a game that basically sells itself from the word go: Coven of the Chicken Foot has you play as a witchy grandma with chicken feet as she builds a bond with a hulking fantasy creature. And Straley’s taking some inspiration from lots of places, from his own post-apocalyptic work and a Studio Ghibli classic to Fumito Ueda. Coven of the Chicken Foot – Announcement Trailer – YouTube Watch On Speaking to GamesRadar+ about his upcoming “semi-open-world” explorative puzzle game, Straley explains that while building the central…
Since the arrival of the United Kingdom’s Online Safety Act, anyone in the UK who wants to access sites featuring adult content, including the likes of Reddit and Bluesky, must upload their ID or provide similarly strong evidence to prove they’re over 18. A lot of adults are understandably perturbed by the idea of having to upload scans of their passports or driver’s licenses for fear of privacy violations or data breaches, so they use VPNs to get around it. But, right now, children and teenagers can just as easily circumvent these age checks using VPNs, so a proposed amendment…
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple director Nia DaCosta made sure the return of that character was not “a big return of the superhero”
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, besides being a simply brilliant sequel to an already impressive franchise revival last year, ends on a moment that some fans might not have anticipated. After managing to escape the clutches of Jimmy Crystal (Jack O’Connell) and the Bone Temple, we then cut to a very familiar cottage we’ve not seen since 28 Days Later. It’s here we’re reunited with Cillian Murphy’s Jim, who has seemingly been living on this untouched plot of land since we saw him last, and is about to have his quaint little life interrupted by Spike (Alfie Williams) and…
Valve's new Steam AI disclosure cares about what you actually see, stressing that behind-the-scenes dev tools are "not the focus"
As the generative-AI debate rages on unceasing (and likely will for as long as I care to think ahead), Valve has updated the declaration form used by developers submitting their games to Steam to reflect a focus on things that are “consumed by players.” For the most part, that’ll mean anything in-game, from art assets to music or writing, but it also includes the likes of the Steam store page, community assets, and marketing materials. The change takes the emphasis off development tools for “efficiency gains,” which can seemingly be used without the need for a disclosure. It’s been two…
Terminally ill GTA 6 fan with 6-12 months to live has seemingly been put in touch with Rockstar about playing the game early
Rockstar Games has seemingly gotten into contact with a terminally ill fan looking to play GTA 6 before its launch later this year on November 19, 2026.That’s according to a now deleted LinkedIn post from Ubisoft developer Anthony Armstrong, who appealed on behalf of a family member diagnosed with cancer and “given 6-12 months to live.””The reason I am reaching out is that they are a huge GTA fan and, with this latest update, he may not be around long enough to actually get to see GTA 6 launch, best case scenario he will be leaving us the same month…
Old School Runescape just made new players' lives much easier without immediately killing the spirit of the classic MMO
With even the BBC and MSN kicking off the new year with talk of Old School Runescape, it’s only a matter of time before one of the most beloved and best MMORPGs around closes in on its highest concurrent player record yet again. And in a likely attempt to retain an influx of people who weren’t even born in time for its 10th anniversary, the franchise’s 25th anniversary has begun with… a minor simplification of what oldies like myself would claim was the heart and soul of the game. Time erodes everything. Log into the Jagex Launcher today, and you’ll…
"Will this blow up the server?": Arc Raiders players are so good at killing Arc that Embark is considering how to "escalate" PvE, dev teases a Shredder escape and "the giant walking ones in the background"
Spend enough time in Arc Raiders maps like Blue Gate and you’re sure to notice some abnormally large, amusingly Tick-like Arc roaming in the background. Where the Queen and Matriarch are imposing mobile fortresses, these background Arc are basically mountains with legs – impossibly gargantuan machines. I don’t think an Anvil is gonna cut it. Developer Embark Studios doesn’t seem ready to drop something of this size on us just yet, but it is cooking up some new Arc to make PvE feel dangerous as players master the current suite of robots.Speaking with GamesRadar+, design lead Virgil Watkins examines the…
Grand Theft Auto 5's new raid mode takes hints from CSGO and Rainbow Six Siege, and it's got me dreaming about GTA 6
GTA 5 is going to remain the go-to virtual crime haven for quite some time to come, like it or not. GTA 6’s console release is all the way off in November, and there’s still no word on when it’ll come to PC, meaning we probably won’t see it in 2026. But the new GTA Online Mansion Raid mode has delivered in a way I didn’t expect, drawing inspiration from tactical multiplayer games like CSGO and Rainbow Six Siege. Ultimately, it’s still somewhat restricted by the limitations of Grand Theft Auto 5’s underlying core, but it does already have me…
The Beatles: Rock Band devs were "sweating bullets" when they showed their version of John Lennon to Yoko Ono – "She's like, 'That looks stupid. He doesn't act like that'"
The Beatles: Rock Band might have been the peak of the plastic instrument boom – a lavish passion project built in tribute to arguably the most influential rock and roll group of all time. The developers at Harmonix were serious about getting it right, and that meant enduring meetings with Yoko Ono where she’d tell them just how much their in-development depiction of John Lennon sucked.”I would have meetings where it’s like, ‘OK, Yoko, here is our depiction of your dead husband singing this super impassioned song … What do you think?'” studio creative director Josh Randall recalls as part…
