Now, Dr. Disrespect has some choice words for Activision. View the full article

From Balatro and Helldivers 2 to Last Epoch and Dragon's Dogma 2, 2024 is a year already stuffed full with some of the best new PC games you could ask for. Ahead of us ***** the Elden Ring DLC, Manor Lords, FF14 Dawntrail, Frostpunk 2, and more. With that in mind, returning to a cult classic 2010 survival horror game probably isn't top of your list, especially when it comes with a notable list of caveats. Yet here we stand. I can't really recommend in good conscience that you buy Deadly Premonition. What I can say is that it's perhaps one of my favorite games of all time, and that it's currently 95% off in a Steam *****, meaning you'd pay less than $2 if you decided to pick it up right now.

Aethermancer certainly looks like a game I'd love.

I played so much of Fallout 3 when it released in 2008 that the Wasteland really was a wasteland—I scoured that big, open map for every quest and scrap of loot and Nuka Cola bottle cap I could find. I loved it at the time, and I'd happily return to check in on my super mutant buddy Fawkes or ***** Megaton all over again. But I'm not going to—at least not yet. If you're having a similar urge, I'd recommend playing Fallout New Vegas instead and being patient, because a better version of Fallout 3 is supposedly on the way... Read more.View the full article
Square Enix's Final Fantasy 7 Remake project has one more entry on the way, and it might not take as long to make as you might think. These days, we're lucky if we get a sequel to a game once every four or five years, with development times and budgets ballooning in recent years. Final Fantasy 7 Remake took a good five years to come out after it was announced, and Rebirth released a full four years after that. But, according to the most recent Final Fantasy 7 Ultimania, it appears that we won't have to wait quite as long for the third part, whatever it might be called. Twitter user Audrey recently translated some excerpts from the Ultimania, stating that the game's producer Yoshinori Kitase mentioned that "Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was actually done within three years since about one year was developing the DLC, and he hopes to be able to stick with that schedule for Part 3 too" (in Audrey's own words). That would mean the next part would be released some time in 2027, which isn't too long of a development ******* overall. Presumably Square Enix will use the same open world map again, with some additions that haven't appeared in the remake just yet, but of course we'll have to wait and see. The Golden Saucer in Rebirth did tease a snowboarding mini-game, and the original game famously has Cloud taking part in the sport literally right after that famous, spoilerific Aerith scene, so presumably we'll be able to head back there.

As per a beta *****, Honkai: Star Rail players will receive a Light Cone and hundreds of Stellar Jades after completing the Dreamjoy Memoir event in version 2.2.

Thankfully, some old festivities have their reruns, giving players another opportunity to enjoy challenges and snag bountiful rewards. View the full article

EA's upcoming ****** Panther game sounds like it will be an open world title, based on a recently posted job listing. Right now, we know pretty much nothing about EA and Cliffhanger Games' ****** Panther game. We know that it exists, that Cliffhanger Games is a new team led by Kevin Stephens, the former studio head at Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor developer Monolith Productions, and that it has nothing to do with the Captain America and ****** Panther game set in the 40s'. But as spotted by VGC, a recent job listing for a principal sandbox designer at Cliffhanger Games appears to be suggesting that it will be an open world game. "Reporting to the Design Manager, the Sr. Technical Designer Sandbox will be instrumental in designing and populating encounters, systems, and gameplay within a dynamic and evolving open world," reads the listing's description of the job role. It goes on to note that a successful candidates responsibilities would include needing to "design, prototype, and implement AI systems, encounters, and gameplay mechanics that contribute to a rich, sandbox environment," and that they would "work closely with the AI engineering team to create sophisticated AI behaviours that enhance the open-world experience, from urban crowds to wildlife ecosystems."

A screenshot from iGBA. | Screenshot: Wes Davis / The Verge I played Game Boy Advance games on my iPhone last night thanks to a new emulator called iGBA, which appears to be the first Game Boy Advance emulator on the App Store since Apple started allowing emulators worldwide. The only trouble is, it doesn’t look like iGBA is developer Mattia La Spina’s own work. Emulation developer and AltStore creator Riley Testut says it’s a rip-off of GBA4iOS, the predecessor to his Delta emulator that was originally made for iOS over a decade ago and that he recently resurrected for the Vision Pro, the source code for which he has published online.

A series of new Genshin Impact 4.7 leaks may be indicating that developer HoYoverse finally learned an important lesson regarding content distribution – at least, for now.

According to the biggest Genshin Impact 4.6 leaks, the upcoming patch is going to be a huge one, bringing forth one of the most anticipated playable characters, expanding the map with a new area, adding new story quests, and introducing two new boss fights.

Turns out that you can give away a game to 6.6 million people, and still sell a ton of copies too, as that's exactly what Landfall has done with Content Warning. Right at the start of the month, Landfall released Content Warning, a Lethal Company style game about filming your friends getting ******* by cryptids, as a sort of April Fool's day bit. The best part was that it was completely free for an entire day, and that resulted in 6.6 million players picking it up. A number like that shows you how ridiculously popular the game quickly became, and now as shared by Landfall on Twitter, it seems that popularity has shown no sign of slowing down, as the game has managed to sell a further one million copies on top of having given it away for free. That means a whole bunch of people were happy to pay for the game, which is surely a good sign for the game's future. Sure, you can have a viral hit if you're an established developer known for their funny games, but you still need to be able to make money, and it seems like Landfall will be fine in that department. The game was only made in a matter of months, and while it isn't quite as fleshed out as Lethal Company is just yet, Landfall did also promise that it has some fun updates (and fixes) on the way.

I love Lethal Company, but it's been a little while since I teamed up with friends to explore those hostile moons and attempt to hit our scrap quota. That's about to change, however, as Lethal Company update 50, also known as 'the hopping update,' arrives on Steam courtesy of solo developer 'Zeekerss.' It might have been a while in the making, but this is looking like the largest Lethal Company we've seen, packing in multiple new locations, several dangerous entities to watch out for, and a whole host of balance changes.

Making a successful multiplayer shooter isn't easy. Not everyone can make an Overwatch, Fortnite, Call of Duty, or Apex Legends, and upcoming hero shooters like Marvel Rivals are entering an incredibly popular market in 2024, and we can easily say the same of the shooter space over the last decade too. LawBreakers was one of the unlucky ones, as the low-gravity hero shooter never got the playerbase it needed to lift off the ground, but thanks to a fan campaign for new servers, it might just be coming back.

It seems like remakes of the first two Persona games could be on the way, though they might not be outright remakes. There's been a number of prominent leakers over the years, but more recently the one with the most consistent track record appears to be one that goes by the name Midori. She accurately reported on the Sonic Fall Guys clone before it was properly leaked last month, and she also shared that Persona 3 Reload would be getting The Answer as DLC before that was officially revealed, as well as other details to do with Atlus and ***** games. Now, responding to a user on Twitter about hypothetical remakes, Midori said "Yes. [Persona 1] and [Persona 2] are going to receive remakes too." Another user then responded to her on Twitter hoping she meant full on remakes as opposed to remasters, prompting Midori to respond, "To be safe, I will call it updated form for right now." So, yes, they could be getting remakes, but don't necessarily expect them to be as full on as Persona 3 Reload. Whatever form they might take, the only question I have about them is how the ***** are they going to handle the character Fuhrer who literally just looks like Adolf ******* from Persona 2 (and no, this isn't a joke).
