Thats right: theyre AI-generated voices, not human actors. Matragrano is himself an actor for video games, having appeared inGenshin Impact,Evil West,Trepang2and more. So heres the kicker: what did the voiceovers? Almstrom replied when asked by the podcast host about who provided the voiceovers in The Finals. The thing is, we used AI with a few exceptions. The reason that we go this route is that AI text-to-speech is finally extremely powerful, Almstrom said....

“No, we have no plans for Hunt 2. We just plan to keep going forward.” Fifield had a few words of constructive criticism for Activision-Blizzard specifically. “Like it was cool reskin - it’s still a cool game! It just felt like Overwatch 1 in its next evolution of service.” Crytek’s plans for Hunt are closer to how Epic has developedFortnite, Fifield went on. So that seems to be more the trend that we’ll follow, when updating Hunt: Showdown....

I’m processing,I’m so heartbroken. I don’t know what to do from here… this was my home. I feel so lost, Ruppert wrote onTwitter/X. That was a hell of a run folks… Today I was let go from Bungie, Bianchiconfirmed. 5 years and 346 days of D2,Marathonand some of the absolute best co-workers in Gaming.

The UN havecalled for an immediate ceasefire, as Israel moves ahead with plans for a ground offensive. “Call your representatives and urge them to call for an end to the occupation. Support Palestinian organizers.” Here’s a little more about Medical Aid For Palestinians, fromthe organisation’s About page. “In times of humanitarian emergency, we are ready to respond rapidly with aid and assistance. “MAP is also committed to bearing witness to the injustices because of occupation, displacement and conflict....

A nice $25 price cut versus its usual price.

Youll also be able to hop on a snowboard to get around at some point. Its all rendered in a gorgeous pastel-coloured, cel-shaded art style, matching the colourful cast of characters. Yes, theres a dog in there, too. The fact it looks so striking is a cherry on top of that particular shared sundae.

To put it another way: whatLies of Pis to Pinocchio, Gangs of Sherwood is to Robin Hood. Gangs of Sherwood will now release for PC - as well as consoles - on November 30th.

Yep, this sure sounds like a crossover. Woof, I’m seriously getting ahead of myself. Let’s wind back the clock to Alan Wake 2 at launch. Katharine is reviewing it and ispretty impressed so far, pre-plotted evidence-matching sequences aside.

“First, the scale of projects has expanded and diversified. I realise this all makes for rather dry reading, but the implications are interesting. Thirdly, IS “REX” A REFERENCE TO DINO CRISIS? No, it probably isn’t. For a time, people were convinced that the not-widely-likedExoprimalwas a spiritual Dino Crisis sequel. But that’s purely the only level of overlap that the two games have.”

Could some kind of proper story component follow? Crytek have certainly thought about it. “But we do like narrative, we do like the backstories. And obviously, we’re going to keep leaning into those parts of the game. That’s how far we’ve gotten on those types of discussions.” Perhaps they could make a campaign with player invasions or phantom drop-ins, akin toDark Souls? “The engine upgrade is largely a tech and visual effort,” he said....

If you want to keep playing past Monday, it’s currently 25% off, too. AlthoughDiablo 4launchedon Steama few weeks ago, the free weekend is limited to Blizzard’s own store, Battle.net.

Time travel afoot Fortnite’s original map is coming back, Epic have confirmed. Fortnite leakers had been proposing that this was going to happen since early October. Fortnite’s chapter five will kick off on November 3rd. Fortnite makers Epic have in the past several weekslaid off 830 peopleacross their many studios.
