In the nearly 18 years since its release, Mirror’s Edge has built a sparkling reputation for its sparkling buildings and blue skies. This, apparently, wasn’t developer DICE’s plan.The parkour game’s developers reflect on its now incomparable look and feel in a new interview with Design Room, where they admit Mirror’s Edge was originally set to join its apocalyptic siblings – like Gears of War or Fallout 3 – in looking very, let’s say, piss yellow. But looking at this corroded version of Mirror’s Edge literally made people nauseous.Senior producer Owen O’Brien explains that “Mirror’s Edge started off looking like every…
What are the Arknights Endfield codes? Hypergryph’s upcoming sci-fi RPG is almost here, and we’re going to need a little help expanding the human footprint on the moon Talos-II. In true gacha fashion, we expect plenty of freebies to keep the powerful Aggeloi threat at bay, but you’ll have to be quick to redeem them before they expire. Shifting away from the mobile-only tower defense approach it took with Arknights, Hypergryph has built Arknights Endfield into a stunning semi-open world with robust base-building elements. Alongside extra resources to help you create the ultimate industrial complex, we expect a wedge of…
Old School RuneScape history has, once again, been written by its players. In June 2020, a now-deleted Reddit account made a simple proposition: combine two pairs of in-game shoes, the Holy Sandals and Mole Slippers, to create the Holy Moleys, a frankly unassailable bit of footwear. Others have since taken the mantle, most especially user Cptn_Honda, better known as “The Holy Moleys Guy” on the OSRS subreddit.”I am once again asking for your support on Holy Moleys,” Cptn_Honda said in 2023.”Jagex hire this man,” users said of a 2022 Holy Moley pitch from yet another supporter.

Bethesda wasn’t always synonymous with Fallout. A certain generation of hardcore PC RPG fans resented the studio’s increasingly mainstream, console-friendly take on role-playing titles, and turning an isometric classic into something like Fallout 3 – ungenerously referred to ahead of launch as “Oblivion with guns” – was treated as something akin to blasphemy. No one felt the pressure more than the developers at Bethesda.”There was a section of the Fallout fandom that felt that a team famous for making elves and fantasy games should not be touching this series,” as Angela Browder, associate art producer at Bethesda at the time,…
What is the Star Wars Fate of the Old Republic release date? The Old Republic represents the longest single era in Star Wars history. Spanning over 24,000 years, some of the galaxy far, far away’s most mythical moments took place during the period. Now, a new yarn is set to be spun, as the freshly formed Arcanaut Studios, working in tandem with Lucasfilm Games, is developing a single-player narrative RPG set during the Old Republic. Star Wars Fate of the Old Republic is a spiritual successor to the iconic Knights of the Old Republic games, with the series’ director and…
Bethesda games are notorious for launching with massive piles of bugs and glitches ranging from annoying to absolutely hilarious. For many players – myself included – the jank is part of the charm, and an acceptable cost for games that are so big and broad. As one of the original devs on Fallout 3 explains it, it’s also a reminder that even the best games are made by human people with human limits.”We were trying to do so much,” lead designer Emil Pagliarulo says in Edge Magazine issue 419, “and we couldn’t really comprehend the complexity of the freedom we…
I’m going to keep this one as succinct as possible, because every word is causing me psychic damage. Former Activision CEO Bobby Kotick has alleged that an ongoing lawsuit accusing him of rushing Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard to avoid the fallout from company-wide sexual misconduct allegations was, in fact, secretly orchestrated by noted layoff manufacturer Embracer Group to boost sales of Embracer’s own games. As reported by Game File, a Swedish pension fund called Sjunde AP-Fonden, aka AP7, filed the lawsuit in Delaware’s Court of Chancery in 2022. The suit names Microsoft, Activision Blizzard and the company’s…

Bully Online project lead Swegta has announced that the ambitious mod, which added online functionality and a ton of other GTA Online-type stuff to Rockstar’s cult classic, has been shut down permanently just one month after it launched. Virtually all traces of the mod and its source code have been scrubbed from the web, with Swegta strongly suggesting some, uh, outside force had something to do with the abrupt shutdown.”The Bully Online project is shutting down. Thank you all for playing,” reads an update on Swegta’s official website. No other information was given, but Insider Gaming managed to dig up…
