Its been a constant conversation internally on how we can get back to solid ground. Whats clear is that it wont be easy and that it will take time and effort. Total War is our everything, we care about it as deeply as you. Recently, its clear that we have failed to demonstrate that in our actions. Collum unveiled a range of corrective measures, which will spill over into the next year....

The films they are delivering to the world are high in quality and very innovative.

MyHouseOfLeaves.wad The first mod I ever downloaded was forSkyrim. Itreplaced NPCs with Shrek. The second was a texture pack forDark Souls: Remastered. Thanks to John Carmacks lightning-fast engine, creating levels and content for Doom has been accessible for 30 years. WAD devs have gone on to become fully-fledgedgamedesigners, and some WADs have beenreleased commercially. The breadth and depth of this community formed the bedrock of game developers. And yet even with this pedigree, MyHouse....

You ask the machine if it has any clue what’s going on. It tells you that its job is to keep its mouth shut and dispense soda. Can I have a soda, then? Sadly, there is nothing wholesome to uncover in the Redark. The mutants are really awful. They are not a fun time. Thankfully, you’re pretty agile yourself, equipped with aQuake-esque jump and a mantling move. There’s also a creature that disguises itself as inanimate objects, a la the Mimic in Arkane’sPrey....

It’s a fascinating and entertaining collection of thoughts. What is yourfavourite enemy in Doom, and why? What would you change about Doom? What’s the best noise in Doom? What’s something from Doom you wish you’d come up with? Or, if you prefer, what’s something from Doom you just sort of stole? How would gaming today be different without Doom?

More and more sources have told me at least half the company (Slipgate/3DR) is laid off. We’re looking at hiring at least 2-3. 3D Realms returned to developing games, working on titles including cyberpunk platformer Ghostrunner alongside Slipgate.

Why not come inside my den and let me regale you with some speculations? The red stains on the wall? Yeah, that’s blood. There’s a big hotel sign on the left, and hoverships with searchlights overhead. The architecture is a mixture of older-looking chimney stacks, and glassy modern skyscrapers. On the horizon, we see plumes of smoke and the Eiffel Tower catching the sunset. It could be the preamble to something likethe legendary dancefloor slaughter scenefrom the very first Blade movie....

Simple pleasures Confession time, readers. Before a couple of weeks ago, I had never played the originalDoom. Thus, I missed out on a lot of what are now considered PC staples. With dread, I’m often met with the accursed exclamation, “You’ve not playedinsert gamebefore?” followed by a good dose of judgment. With games now stretching out at 100+ hours apiece, where is the time for old classics like Doom? For me, approaching Doom was cathartic....

For video game creators, however, a new beginning is often racked with questions. What, exactly, do you choose to show players first? How will you introduce them to something they’ve never seen before? Nowhere is this more apparent than in its opening levels. Doom II’s opening level is similarly brief and short-lived, coming with another 30 second par time. This is another first-time playthrough for me, and oh god, I hate it already....

Tile by fire Normally when writing up a new game, I’d tell you how to play it. Today, I’m going to be massively self-indulgent and ask you to tell me. Unhelpfully, the in-game instructions are in kanji. Creator Setamopixel also makes Famicom-style pixelart videos of high school kids taking photos of rundown industrial areas. Play the cute web app freebie already.

HopefullyEiyuden Chroniclewill ease the agony a little when it goes on sale on 23rd April 2024. Its also known for having sumptuous writing, even by RPG standards. Suikoden 2 especially is one ofFinal Fantasy 7s greatest rivals. Or so Im told. The hundred heroes in question cover several anime subtypes, from serious to silly. Youve got brooding swordswomen on the one hand, and prancing magic girls on the other. Theres a shark in a pirate costume in there, and some kind of gritty mercenary kangaroo....

As you progress through the game you’ll gain access to more armor and crafting specs. As such, it can be difficult to know which to prioritise and where to even start. Below we’ve listed the best armor in Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora for both early and late-game areas. Armor specs can be picked up for free from both human and Na’vi merchants. This is a fantastic boost from an early-game armor piece....

Heres a real high-class bout! and a cup of tea. Its definitely more Itchy & Scratchy (or, at least,Steamboat Itchy) than Mickey Mouse. Fumi say theyre still pinning down a release date, but hope to have Mouse out onSteamin 2025.
