Nightdive Studios has become the go-to developer when it comes to revitalizing classic FPS games. Over the last three years or so, it’s cranked out an impressive number of enhanced ports, remasters, and even full blown remakes of iconic shooters. Nightdive has rejuvinated Doom, Turok, Blood, and several other notable games in recent years, but one name that is now synonymous with the studio is System Shock. The Unreal Engine 4 remake of the 1994 original finally arrived in 2023 after roughly eight years of turbulent development, and while it may not go down in the annuls of FPS history…
Anthem executive producer Mark Darrah has released a video post-mortem on the game lasting nearly four hours.Following a poor launch and the subsequent decision to abandon future updates on the game, Anthem was rendered unplayable this week, 7 years after the game was released.Now, its executive producer, Mark Darrah, has released a new YouTube video in which he breaks down the game’s entire development, from its inception to the point when development of the live service element ceased.The video includes Darrah recounting how then-BioWare boss Casey Hudson pitched the game to EA as a “new BioWare,” where instead of the…
Roll Over and Die, a grimdark fantasy series about a girl who drags herself and her girlfriend out of slavery, won’t be winning awards for storytelling or animation, but it will be getting a regular watch from me as the solid-so-far anime airs on Crunchyroll this season. I’ve dabbled in the novels the series is based on – a breezy read with decent prose – and as lit RPG junk food goes, I’d put this one in the coveted “not bad” tier, head and shoulders above the usual glut of fantasy slop.The series’ full title betrays its trope-y origins: Roll…
It is not news to anyone that Nightdive Studios’ System Shock remake took a while to make. The remake started development in 2015, with a successful Kickstarter project held for it the following year. After a few engine changes and attempts at making the thing, it finally released back in 2023, a good eight years after development had started. But such a long wait is absolutely not worth calling the FBI over, folks, are we being serious right now? Which is, apparently, a thing that happened to Nightdive. Speaking to FRVR, game director Stephen Kick spoke of the…
After being saved from certain death at the hands of Riot Games just a few months ago, Hytale is now in players hands. Whether you’re a building game novice that’s been enticed by its focus on fantasy, a Minecraft veteran who wants to see what this challenger has up its sleeves, or simply someone who’s been following its turbulent seven-year journey with intrigue, Hytale’s doors are finally open. Just as the team at Hypixel Studios intended, there’s been a flurry of impressive Hytale mods already, but I really didn’t expect folks to find a way to bring across Minecraft builds…

2026 marks Resident Evil’s 30th anniversary. What better way to celebrate than with the release of a blood-shiny new mainline entry? Resident Evil Requiem is so close now, we can practically smell the viscera and various icky juices. Better yet, three decades on, the series is still showing no signs of slowing down when it comes to trying new things.One of those new things is FBI intelligence analyst Grace Ashcroft, who was still believed (or, more accurately, claimed) to be the sole protagonist at the time of our hands-on with the game. Sent to investigate a series of mysterious deaths…
Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun Steam Deck Academy brings together all our guides and explainers on getting the most out of your Steam Deck, no student loans or sweaty dormitories required. Right up until its early access release, Hytale’s chances of Steam Deck-enabled portability were anyone’s guess. Even the blocky sandbox’s developers Hypixel seemed unsure, announcing a SteamOS-friendly native Linux version (good!) but forgoing an actual Steam release (less good!) and warning Deck owners of Hytale’s absent controller support (definitely not good!). However, as fellow cube enthusiast Minecraft would know, the Steam Deck doesn’t always let something like an apparent…
What are the best Elden Ring builds? The first 20 levels shape your entire class, so selecting your stats carefully is essential. While placing some stat points into faith as an Astrologer may be tempting, you’re probably better off committing to the full sorcery build to maximize your damage in the late game. The builds in this guide are not only compatible with Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, you can easily play through the entire expansion without ever swapping out any of your armor or weapons. If you’ve found that your build has been nerfed, never fear – grab a…
