They’re not clear about what next-gen means to them. Answers on a postcard, reader dear. That teaser trailer offers about as many details on the game as anything else. My personal requests are simple: have a bow again. That’s all, tia. The first Crysis set new heights of visual fanciness and PC system requirements. “Will it run Crysis?” Presumably that’s the sort of next-gen they’re talking about. Not having to upgrade every other year to play new games is great....

Last week, Microsoft announced their intent tobuy the publisher for $69 billion. The purchase, if approved, would complete next year. The post is really more of a recruitment ad than anything else. “Do you like survival games? There are two pieces of concept art in the post. It would also be their first survival game.

New customisation options for all Cities: Skylines' Airports DLC is out now. It also comes alongside a free update for the base game which expands some substantial city customisation options. That’s what this looks like. In adev diary posted yesterday, Paradox detailed the changes coming with today’s free update. There are then a slew of new customisation options. it’s possible for you to hit that link for the full patch notes....

“Streamlining will allow players cognitive capacity to focus on combat,” say devs Age of Empires IV. WarCraft III: Reforged.Company of Heroes 3. A nostalgic need to be catered to. Were hoping to fulfill that gap. What does that mean forCrossfire: Legion? Units that burn rubber. Simple build queues, and harvesters that can be left largely to their own devices. Global Risk provides a familiar, comparatively simple army-building strategy, Grela continues....

Every NPC has rehearsed their ominous laugh and bosses their second and third phases, basically. But c’mon be assured, the title will be ready for sale on February 25. As for that presentation? It’s a large one, clocking in at 45 minutes long. Kitao also says that he’s a straight sword kinda guy, which I find admirable. The Iron Longsword was my go-to inDark Souls 3as it was simple and reliable....

That’s a really nice amount of time. Long enough to feel substantial, but not too long that it’ll feel like a massive slog. No bloat, more riding on spectral horse-goat, as they say. Aside from being a solid chunk of time, 30+ hours is perhaps an unsurprising figure. That’s in line with all the otherDark Soulsgames according to my Steam profile. Taking into account DLCs and tough boss fights, that seems about right....

The horror isn’t blood-chilling, but rather twisted up with grief and sorrow in how inevitable it is. Likewise, puzzle solutions are rarely more than a room away, and are often in the same place. They are, for the most part, about bringing one thing to another thing. There’s no combining of weird stuff in your inventory or tracking back and forth to NPCs. There is a lot about grief, expectations, parents, superstition and science....

Oceania gets a data center too After six long weeks,Final Fantasy XIVis back on sale. Thankfully, those days are behind the game now. And they’ve done just that. you could purchase the game on digital storefronts, like it was before ‘The Success’. Also as expected, the free trial still isn’t available to download. Download the map in high resolution here! In other Final Fantasy news, apparentlythe creator of Final Fantasy has his own FF14 clothing line?...

It had a grand prize of $100,000 (74k). NetBlocks, an organisation who track Internet disruption,confirmeda huge hit to Andorra’s Internet. With only one ISP in Andorra, trying to hit the streamers hit a great many more people. leave his friends alone. Considering that this is the Internet, I’d lean towards pettiness. Auron and Rubiusreportedlyoffered a 10,000 bounty for finding those responsible.

A malevolent string of code threatens the many kingdoms of ash, so to speak. This rang true for every other Dark Souls game on PC, as well. Console players were free from this curse, luckily. It’s unclear how long this downtime will last for. Best get this one downloading folks, if you haven’t already. Some players fearthe RCE security vulnerability could threaten FromSoftware’s upcomingElden Ringtoo. Of course, nothing has been confirmed on this front and it could very well not be the case....

Now we know for sure it’s real. Nagoshi Studio has officially launched and they’ve already begun work on their first game. Fingers crossed their potential is unleashed. Meatier details on Nagoshi Studio lie in an interview with Japanese video games magazineFamitsu. you’re free to check out thefull threadfor more info. As a Yakuza fan I’m very excited for whatever Nagoshi Studios are cooking up.

Wheely good fun CodemastersGridseries continues its resurgence after 2019s decent-but-slightly-neuteredreboot. No Scotty, mind, but we suppose they have to save something for the sequel. Its this story mode weve been given early access to, so lets jump in. Straight off, the game looks and feels very similar to that 2019 Grid reboot. Instead, the focus was all about the story. It works well and sets it up for a promising journey....

These moves come in the wake of severallawsuits alleging a culture of harassment and discrimination within the company. The post announcing the plans also comes daysafter Microsoft announced their intent to buy Activision Blizzard. “This applies toallemployees at Blizzard, including leadership and management,” says the post. On paper, these are encouraging steps. Likewise, Activision Blizzard’s supposed ‘zero tolerance’ policydoes not extend as high as CEO Bobby Kotick. Ybarra was initially co-leader of the company with Jen Oneal, but Onealleft after three months....
