Warner Bros. Games Montréal, developers of Gotham Knights, look to have laid off an unspecified number of staff late last week. At least three former workers at the studio took to LinkedIn on Friday to post about their departures, with one explicitly mentioning that they’d been cut as part of a round of layoffs.
Verdict Marathon is a feast for the senses – vibrant sci-fi visuals and world building, amazing sound design, and a brilliant combat experience are the main things elevating it above its extraction shooter competitors. Its endgame map, Cryo Archive, also creates the same intimidating yet jaw-dropping atmosphere of some of Bungie’s finest Destiny raids. However, issues such as clunky inventory management and dull faction quests hold it back from true greatness right now. Three bags of loot, flanked by the bio-synthetic corpses of their previous owners and pools of blue blood. The scene of my murderous victory. Their weapons, implants,…
Truck drivers need a way to unwind, too – it’s just unfortunate that most of them have to spend their nights stuck in the same vehicle they spend their workdays in. But one driver has found what might just be the ultimate solution: just replace the passenger seat with a $6,000 sim racing rig. You can even get in a few laps while you’re stuck in traffic.That’s exactly what Reddit user ZanaZamora has done. You can see it all in the clip below (via Highlight Reel), but the driver, at a standstill behind backed-up road traffic, simply hops over to…
Last week our resident novelty-guzzling elder god the Maw ate me, as Julian sorrowfully reported. Well, I’m back in the waking world, and not as smelly as I could be, all things considered. I’ve been eaten by the Maw a few times now, but this is the first time I’ve managed to escape via one of its mouths, rather than by way of… other orifices. “ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED,” I bellow, straightening heroically with my shoulders braced against the cyclopean gums, as chunks of rancid Call Of Duty DLC sluice between my ankles. “MY OTHER CAR’S A MOTHRA”, I roar,…
I thought I’d have gotten bored of Riftbound by now. I certainly go through obsessive cycles: one day I’m desperate to play Magic: The Gathering or Star Wars Unlimited, but by the next I’ve lost all interest. Perhaps it’s my love for League of Legends that’s kept me coming back to Riot’s IRL card game; I do have an undying passion for the classic MOBA. Or, maybe it’s just that Riftbound really is GOATed; every time I play it I feel like I uncover a new mechanic, or a sneaky, dopamine-inducing combo. While Spiritforged was very much up my alleyway…
It’s official: Marvel Studios’ recent critical darling Wonder Man is coming back for round two with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley set to return as their endlessly charismatic duo of Simon Williams and Trevor Slattery.Marvel confirmed the renewal on social media, also indicating that series creators Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest are also on board for Wonder Man season 2, bringing the whole band back together.That’s great news if you, like many of us, fell in love with Simon Williams and his journey to become the equivalent of an MCU superstar within the Marvel Universe itself. Though Wonder…
While not as close to release as its sibling-of-sorts Skyblivion, we’ve been getting regular looks at what Morrowind remake mod Skywind for a looooong time now. The latest of these peeks at its team’s efforts to reinvent The Elder Scrolls 3 in Skyrim’s engine came as part of a charity modding streamathon, and featured a nice stroll around Vivec.
Apex Legends’ Gundam event is far more fun than it has any right to be. While I would have preferred some new Titanfall lore if we’re getting mechs, the wrecked Gundam suits strewn across the game’s Broken Moon map are suitably epic, and the Buster Rifle is a fun weapon for casual modes. Just two weeks ago, popular streamer Mikkel ‘Mande’ Hestbek managed to achieve two million damage during a single match with the weapon in a private lobby filled with his subscribers. I’m not saying this may have led to the game’s new Vortex Shields, but the event’s similar…
God of War and its sequel are some of the best PS2 games ever made, but Sony’s Santa Monica Studio didn’t really know what it was getting into when development on the epic mythological action game got underway. The studio’s story was similar to many in the era: a lot of missed deadlines and intense overtime.”We started God Of War in 2001, but we didn’t start with the idea that it would ultimately take four years,” lead coder Tim Moss explains in the latest issue of Retro Gamer magazine. “We crunched like motherfuckers. We were young and enthusiastic, and we…
Urgh! What’s happening? The air feels dreadfully recycled all of a sudden. Food dissatisfies, music grates, punchlines flop like stunned seagulls – everything seems somehow overfamiliar. We have entered a Lull. There are few Big Games out this week – little in the way of Big Sequels or New IPs From Triple-A Veterans or other projects that make you say “oh! That one” – and the Maw is making up the shortfall by siphoning novelty from the building blocks of reality itself. To the pumps, colleagues, before we become so jaded that our wrists and elbows lose all elasticity! There…
