The role of video game performers—who do far more than “voice acting” in today’s world of performance capture—is often an unsung one, with only extremely prolific actors like Troy Baker managing to breach mainstream consciousness. Perhaps this is why execs seem so desperate to replace them with AI. SAG-AFTRA, the union that oversees eligible video game actors, has been negotiating with big names in the industry for more than a year and a half, according to union president Fran Drescher. These negotiations were begun with the goal of implementing robust protections for actors to prevent ****** of AI by studios, including training models based on their voices without compensation or even replacing them with AI altogether. Discussions have evidently stalled, so SAG-AFTRA reached for the nuclear option: a strike with the potential to bring the entire industry to a halt. View the full article

Most sports games are complicated. This is great for players already immersed in the rules of the game in question, but the simulation focus of Football Manager 24, EA Sports FC 25, or NBA 2K24 can be overwhelming for audiences who want an easier entry point or just a simpler type of experience ideal for casual matches between friends. Luckily, The Run: Got Next has just been announced, providing a new basketball game whose simpler approach calls back to the accessible, arcade style design of classics like NBA Street, NBA 2K Playgrounds, and NBA Jam.

[/url] The Lego Mario & Yoshi set is an homage to 1990's Super Mario World. [credit: The Lego Group ] Nintendo and Lego are at it again—they're announcing another collaboration today as a follow-up to the interactive Mario sets, the replica Nintendo Entertainment System, the unfolding question mark block with the Mario 64 worlds inside, and other sets besides. The latest addition is an homage to 1990's Super Mario World, Mario's debut outing on the then-new 16-bit Super Nintendo Entertainment System. At first, the 1,215-piece set just looks like a caped Mario sitting on top of Yoshi. But a look at the back reveals more complex mechanics, including a hand crank that makes Yoshi's feet and arms move and a dial that opens his mouth and extends his *******. Most of the Mario sets have included some kind of interactive moving part, even if it's as simple as the movable mouth on the Lego Piranha Plant. Yoshi's mechanical crank most strongly resembles the NES set, though, which included a CRT-style TV set with a crank that made the contents of the screen scroll so that Mario could "walk."

Dragon Age: The Veilguard isn't just the long awaited continuation of a series that's ***** dormant for a decade, but could also be a return to form for creator Bioware that many players are hoping will capture some of the appeal of earlier work like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Mass Effect 2, and Dragon Age: Origins. While we'll need to wait and see if the game meets the expectations of that segment of the audience, some good news has arrived months out from its launch: The Veilguard is already Steam Deck Verified and its Steam version won't require the EA App at all.

The Long Dark, which first came to PC in 2014, is one of the best survival games to date. Its take on the genre, set in a frozen stretch of post-apocalyptic ********* wilderness, makes it unique among other standouts like Don't Starve, Rust, DayZ, Valheim, Subnautica, and Sons of the Forest. Somehow, though, it's taken until now, a decade later, for another studio to create a game made with clear inspiration from The Long Dark, which certainly seems to be the case with wintery survival roguelike Angst: A Tale of Survival.

Soldier 76 and Reinhardt in Overwatch 1 A couple of years into the Overwatch 2 experience, player angst has reached a point where the people making the game are considering bringing the old 12-person matches back. Today’s blog post from the developers at Blizzard says that, finally, “we’re exploring how we can test different forms of 6v6 in the game to gauge the results.” Game director Aaron Keller also notes that issues like hero balancing, game performance, and what might happen to ****** times if players have a choice between the two formats are questions the team needs to answer, but is at least ready to start considering.

A new game mode has come to ***** by Daylight called 2v8, and it comes with several gameplay changes. In it, two Killers face off against eight Survivors—and the Killers’ perks have swapped for skills to aid them in hunting down other players. These skills differ from the typical perks you’ve expected to use as a ******* in ***** by Daylight. You can’t swap them out for other skills if you don’t like them, and you want to sync with your ******* partner, giving the two of you the best shot of taking down all eight Survivors before they can power up the generators and escape.

Grand Theft Auto Online has delivered a steady stream of high-octane ********* activities, ranging from robbing the local bank to stopping Elon Musk from ending the world. Now, however, your character has a chance to step back from all that excitement to something more humble: pizza delivery. Initially (and even once you think about it for a while), it seems like a major step back for the unnamed GTA Online protagonist, who by this point is probably a multimillionaire with a huge portfolio of legitimate and ******** business under their belt. Why they’d cosplay Peter Parker and take delivery jobs away from Los Santos residents who actually need them is anyone’s guess, but Rockstar is asking you not to think about it and enticing you with a few tantalizing free rewards instead.
