Capcom say PC will remain their “main platform” as mobile releases ramp up with Resident Evil on iPhone

Even so, Tsujimoto insisted that PC would stay at the forefront of any future Capcom plans. For many years, PC has been our main platform, Tsujimoto said. We are currently selling in 230 countries and regions through this PC platform. It is important to train and develop human resources in-house to get to carry out growth strategies. I also believe we can utilise external partners, but we have no intention of acquiring companies....

Cyberpunk 2077's Ukrainian localisation takes the piss out of Russia's war

Go fuck yourself in the same direction as the ship did. “Juxtaposed are the Ukrainian coat of arms and taraq tamga (the symbol of Crimean Tatars).” The suggestion is that in Cyberpunk 2077s world, Crimea is part of Ukraine. There are also apparent references on inventory screens to Ukrainian state messaging during the war. As Tarasov explains, “‘rusnia’ is a Ukrainian derogatory term for russians. Scavengers are the stereotypical Eastern European gang in the game’s universe....

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty's lovely launch trailer is making Male V fans sad

The trailer runs through a fewPhantom Liberty highlights. It certainly looks like the tour de force Graham described in hisCyberpunk 2007: Phantom Libertyreview. But yeah, if you favoured Drea’s V you’re fresh out of luck, chooms. Comments thread blood is still shed over whether Femshep is the primary manifestation of Commander Shepard, for instance. By contrast, I will always lean towards Kassandra when it comes to Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. Which performance of V do you prefer?...

DOOM creator keen on "ethical" uses for AI, but worried about AAA-style "homogenisation"

It’s all kind of the same stuff. And that’s what I don’t want to happen to games because of AI. Ubisoft areusing a new “Ghostwriter” tool to generate dialogue barks in games like Assassin’s Creed. Tinybuild CEO Alex Nichiporchik has suggested using ChatGPT-style functionality toidentify “time vampires” within development teams. As ever, the broad takeaway is that a tool is only as good as the purpose it serves. “I would love to do Anachronox 2 or Anachronox HD!...

Dragon's Dogma 2 brings back all the joy of Capcom's 2012 cult hit with few real changes

Strength in numbers, Arisen? Dragon’s Dogmawas the action-RPG for people who wanted to play alone, but didn’t want tofeelalone. But what makes them fun to be around is that they’re a bunch of massive buffoons. Pawn dialogue is highly context-sensitive, and very often, nonsensical. The big thing I notice is that they now talk to each other more. “Rare materials!” one yells as I amble through a forest. “Well-spotted,” another replies....

EVE Vanguard is a PvPvE shooter set in the EVE Online universe

Good grief It’s happening again. If I appear deeply cynical, it’s because we’ve been here before. That makes Vanguard attempt number four - and that’s just the ones they announced publicly. I can’t fault CCP for persevering. I have begun to feel a little like Charlie Brown though,creduously trying to kick CCP’s football.
