I know little and wish to know little about the real-life efficacy of headshots. I know slightly more about the concept of time-to-kill in shooters. It’s a deceptively simple-sounding metric that can transform yourFPSentirely. “Over the course of the Beta, we identified several areas that were impacting in-game performance. Circle-strafing back to the angst over headshots - what’s your preferred blend of TTK and hit location multiplier? Blops 6 is out 25th October....

It looks very picturesque and, like its predecessor, inspired by the Kurosawa showdowns of old. You’ll be slitting throats as Atsu, a “wandering warrior” seemingly out for revenge.

I’m not someone who’s ever been on board with the “Can You Pet The Dog?” craze that swept and/or still sweeps video games. Nomada Studios have, incredibly, thrust their hands into my chest cavity and given me a blood-pumping mechanism. Go and readhis piecefor the lowdown, basically, but I’ll quickly offer my own thoughts. And those thoughts are of a similar note: Neva’s opening hour is a good time. It’s beautifully presented, as you’d expect from Nomada Studios, who worked on the very prettyGrispreviously....

Still, as someone who frequently fantasises about having a.) a killer deck, b.) 20,000 concurrent players cant be wrong! We, uh, we donttalk about the banana game. The basic idea here is that you run a collectible card shop selling a come-at-me-brotendo -branded TCG named Tetramon. I especially wanted to crime the header guy. You get out too! The other side of the game is collecting the cards yourself. My first card was a happy onion named Sapoling....

Ruin has come to our family? Dead By Daylightdevelopers Behaviour Interactive have announced that they’re acquiring Red Hook, the creators ofDarkest Dungeon. All the same, my snap judgement is “yikes”. “Our acquisition of Red Hook is another emphatic step towards this objective, with more to come.” ‘Surrounds’, eh? I’d keep your distance, Red Hook. They said the Alien couldn’t be tamed, Red Hook. I give it two months before the Entity abducts Wayne June and turns him into DLC....

And no, they haven’t discovered swords alongside dinosaur fossils yet because palaeontologists have been unlucky thus far. “Soon”, you tell them. Jean Nguyen, a senior gameplay animator at Sucker Punch, started working on side project Dinoblade in 2023. And I am thankful, because it looks like a right laugh. There’s dodge-rolling, power slams, and blades that blast spectral missiles. Not that Mushiking is Soulsy like Dinoblade, being more of a rock-paper-scissors fighter, but I dunno....

He adds that Ghost Of New Eden and Jusant “performed well below expectations”. They’re expecting to make a loss for the first half of 2024 of around 1 million. It’s not wholly clear from the wording whether this means that P10 has been entirely cancelled. Again, all rather open-ended. These in-house games sit alongside two unspecified external publishing projects that are due for release in 2025. The press release doesn’t mention whether Don’t Nod are revising their approach to these projects as well....

Its a thorough account of some messy events I recommend reading in full, but heres a brief rundown. Prior to 2024, write IGN, tensions were already present. This included “transmedia properties” - hence the recently announcedRemedy deals. Despite the two weeks notice, IGN write, partner developers were not informed of the upcoming resignations.

Im therefore somewhat unnerved to report that my enthusiasm has been tempered significantly by actually playing it. The opening tutorial, pitching grim-faced protag Kliff against waves of ambushing barbarians, starts off fine. Then the leader shows up, and the pleasure brakes slam down. Its a miserable touch. To their credit, its not like these moments are lacking in spectacle of their own. Its just not as nice to play as it is to coo at....

It was the work of Junction Studios led by Warren Spector, best known for being TheDeus ExGuy. And no, Rebrushed doesn’t let him do anything of these either. Clearly a missed opportunity. But is it better nonetheless? The story of Rebrushed begins with a monumental cockup. Remarkably, he then falls right back asleep like nothing’s happened. It’s the latter that’s the crux here, as Rebrushed isn’t designed as a movement-first platformer....
