Having never designed an FPS before, there's a good chance the following grand theory of combat design I'm about to propose is reeking globnonsense, but here goes: I figure you've basically got two approaches. You can either keep it simple but chunky, and use this to lure the player in right away by making them feel powerful and capable. Then, you can keep your relatively pithy verb list interesting by riffing on things like encounter and enemy design. Then, there's the Texnoplazm method (Steam demo here) which is to slap you across the chops with a phone book of gun fu possibilities straight from the off, offer a taste of stylishness just piquant enough to convince you that mastering this toolkit seems like a fun and worthwhile idea, and let you loose. It's the "I ***** at this, but I will not ***** eventually, and then my enemies will be sorry and also impressed at how cool I look" approach. This method also ends up with you feeling much more capable than the first guy, even though they got to have more fun earlier. That was a lot of words to say "game good, if a little overwhelming initially". Here's a trailer. It may contain the following verbs: punch. Punch but big. Slide. Slam. Dodge. Throw weapon. Grab weapon in midair. Kick. Wall run. Block. Parry. Have impeccable android butt. Read more View the full article
Activision has pulled controversial Call of Duty adverts placed inside ****** Ops 6 and Warzone loadouts, insisting they were a “feature test” published “in error.” Following last week’s launch of Season 4, adverts for weapon bundles could be seen in the build and weapon menus of ****** Ops 6 and Warzone. These were unavoidable for players as they tinkered with their loadouts. Players absolutely hated them, with some going as far as to say they were the last straw. “I wouldn't even be mad if this was just in Warzone, a free game, but putting it in a pay-to-play premium title, with how expensive they're getting? F**k off,” read one angry comment. “This game is still 80€ I get that they make most of their money from the store, but I feel like the bare minimum for a premium product would be to not have ads clogging the menus right?” read another. “At this point it really feels like opening up a mobile game with how much more you see an option to buy anything in this game,” said another player. Did they seriously add bundle ads to the weapon selection menu? byu/JustTh4tOneGuy inblackops6 .reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; } Now, Activision has tweeted to say the adverts had been removed, and offered an explanation: “A UI feature test that surfaced select store content in the Loadout menus was published in the Season 04 update in error,” the company tweeted. “This feature has now been removed from the live game.” It’s fair to say there’s a healthy dose of scepticism from the Call of Duty on Activision’s statement here, with some outright refusing to believe the ads were pushed live by mistake. “They do this crap every cycle around this time... introduce something awful and see if people are mad or not,” said one fan. “If the outrage is enough they pretend like it was an accident and remove it.” “AKA: we saw how much everyone hated and ridiculed our shameless attempt to include unavoidable ads so we removed it,” said another. Call of Duty has had its monetization crises in the past, of course. And players are used to battle passes, premium battle passes, and even more expensive versions of premium battle passes on top of the $70 (soon to be $80) cost of entry. But there is a growing feeling that the franchise’s microtransaction strategy has become even more aggressive following Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard. All eyes are on the next Call of Duty, reportedly a ****** Ops 2 sequel, to see if Activision tries adverts in loadouts for real this time. Wesley is Director, News at IGN.

Funcom has confirmed the global release times for Dune: Awakening. Inspired by Denis Villeneuve and Legendary Entertainment’s blockbuster films, Dune: Awakening is a survival MMO set on the most dangerous planet in the universe, where players can explore Arrakis in an open-world game for the first time ever. You survive by learning the ways of the Fremen, and expand your potential through combat, the spice, building, and trading. It's set to release on June 10, 2025, on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S after a three-week delay to fix issues identified during its beta testing. Players with a "head start," however, get to play five days early from June 5. We had a great time with it, writing in IGN's Dune: Awakening beta preview: "As a longtime fan of Dune, it also just feels so good to explore and learn more about a world that I’m quite fond of, and Funcom has clearly put a ton of effort into worldbuilding and lore, even despite taking quite a bit of creative liberty by placing Awakening within a parallel reality and canon than the books/movies." Last week, Funcom put on a livestream showing off Dune: Awakening's mid-to-endgame, and a wide tour of the Hagga Basin "to emphasize the size and variety players can expect," including the "lush O’odham, the forbidding Hagga Rift, the tall spires and imposing rock formations of Jabal Eifrit, to name just a few." Up until now, even beta players have only seen around 25% of Hagga Basin, so the stream showcased "these huge and diverse landscapes" in all their glory. "Before even considering the vast dunes and dangers of the Deep Desert, players will experience a full-scale survival game," Funcom teased. "They will rise through the ranks of the Atreides or Harkonnen; build powerful strongholds; brave Imperial Testing Stations; craft advanced schematics; explore and harvest in a variety of vehicles, and much, much more." Furthermore, the "Landsraad feature allows anyone to contribute in the effort to impact their entire faction, whether they prefer PvE or PvP."

FromSofware announced that Elden Ring Nightreign has reached another major milestone, attracting 3.5 million players just five days after the game's launch. Elden Ring Nightreign was released on May 30 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. View the full article
Elden Ring Nightreign is now up to 3.5 million copies sold after five days on *****, with its Steam user review rating improving from 'mixed' to 'mostly positive.' Elden Ring was a massive hit, selling 30 million since going on ***** in 2022, and it seems unlikely that Nightreign will come close to matching that success. For better context, the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion sold 5 million copies within three days of its release in 2024. FromSoftware’s multiplayer spin-off had launched to 2 million sales in just a day, but with a 'mixed' rating on Valve's platform. Much of the initial negative sentiment revolved around Nightreign’s brutal solo experience, its lack of duos co-op, lack of voice chat, and other archaic mechanics. That age-old multiplayer struggle to find enough friends to make up a coordinated three-player group is very much a part of the Elden Ring Nightreign experience, too. As explained in IGN's Elden Ring Nightreign review: "Let’s get the most important caveat out of the way first: if you are hoping to tackle Nightreign entirely solo, and are anything less than a hardcore Elden Ring player that actively seeks out ways to make that already difficult game even more challenging, Nightreign isn’t for you. Yes, there is technically a single-player option, but it is so poorly balanced that I would be shocked if it isn’t patched and adjusted within the first month of release. And this is coming from someone who lives and breathes these types of games." But on Monday, FromSoftware released a patch to make solo play much easier, and despite matchmaking problems over the weekend, sentiment has improved. Last week, producer Yasuhiro Kitao took to social media to comment on Elden Ring Nightreign’s early sales success and to thank players for giving the game a go despite its quirks. “Nightreign has some peculiar aspects to its game design and is different from our recent titles in various ways,” Kitao said. “Nonetheless, many of you have bravely jumped into this world, and for that we're immensely grateful. “As with ******'s Souls or Sekiro, it may be confounding at first, but just like those games, Nightreign offers its own challenges and experiences. Once you overcome the initial hurdle, it'll surely provide a sense of accomplishment that's also its very own. “We hope you enjoy it.” So, what happens next? FromSoftware said that in addition to the DLC releasing later this year, new additions will be “gradually implemented,” including enhanced fights against existing Nightlords starting this month (June), as well as Duo Expeditions at a later date.” The addition of duos will come as some relief to players who have questioned its omission from launch. Elden Ring Nightreign drops players into the shifting lands of Limveld, exploring and fighting for survival either solo or in groups of three. There is no way to play two-player co-op. In IGN's interview with Elden Ring Nightreign director Junya Ishizaki, the Nightreign lead developer discussed the choice to lean on solos and trios as the core experience options. When asked why there's no option for a pair of players to drop in together without a matchmade third player, Ishizaki said it was overlooked. "The simple answer is that this is simply something that was overlooked during development as just a two-player option, so we're very sorry about that," said Ishizaki. "As we said before, we set out to make this a multiplayer co-op game for three players, balanced for three players, so that was the main focus and it's at the core of Nightreign. "Of course, I myself as a player understand that and often want times where I'm just playing myself, so this is something that we considered from the start," Ishizaki continued. "And so we did put a lot of effort into creating this experience that was playable for solo players in as much as the rules and new systems allowed. So in putting all our efforts into that aspect, we kind of overlooked and neglected the duos aspect, but this is something that we are looking at and considering for post-launch support as well." This means that if you're playing with just your favorite duos partner, you have to accept a random third into your game. Playing trios is very much what Elden Ring Nightreign is built around.

XDefiant was a game that always had the odds stacked against it, despite the wealth of FPS experience on its development team and major IP like Far Cry and Assassin's Creed it could lean on. Ubisoft was already on a run of putting out underperforming games. The general live service space is a brutal, unforgiving one. The demand for new, fresh content is painfully high. And then it had to face off against one of the best annual Call of Duty launches we've seen in years with ****** Ops 6. When you lay everything out in such a way, a rapid shutdown - which arrives this week just over a year after launching - always seemed highly likely. Inevitable, to some. But that doesn't mean it was a bad FPS game by any stretch. While not perfect, I'll remember XDefiant as a game that provided me with a few months of fun and a welcome reminder of the glory days of Call of Duty. Read the rest of the story...

My haul for today spans iconic collections, cerebral indies, and a few deeply discounted blockbusters that are hard to ignore. Whether you’re chasing nostalgia or keen to experience bold experiments in game design, there’s something worthwhile in every category. This Day in Gaming In retro news, I'm celebrating the 32nd birthday of Starwing, aka the PAL version progenitor of the Star Fox series. Interestingly, its N64 sequel was named Lylat Wars, at which point Nintendo Europe said, "****** it, we'll just use the US naming convention from here on out." Starwing is the shoot 'em up that deserves special acclaim as the first hardware-accelerated 3D gaming experience on a home console (courtesy of the Super FX chip). And though the 15 frames per second are tough to endure in a modern replay, there's no denying this blew my '93 mind like a Smart Bomb to the brain.

Elden Ring Nightreign isn't your run-of-the-mill FromSoftware game, but it does make one small change to the studio's usual tendencies that should be kept for games moving forward. The three-player action survival roguelite is an unexpected departure from FromSoftware's oeuvre, which has risen to prominence thanks to difficult RPGs with deep and varied combat mechanics. This includes Nightreign's namesake, Elden Ring, but even though it can be counted among the best games of all time, its quest design is lacking in key, easily fixed areas. View the full article

It's time for Microsoft and the Xbox brand to stop playing chicken with its fans and reveal what it has planned in regards to a Steam Deck rival. Whether it's a major software update to present a revamped version of Windows on gaming handhelds, or the Asus ROG Ally 2 with dedicated Xbox guide controls, the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase feels like the perfect time to reveal all, mainly because no one will be expecting it. The ongoing 'will they, won't they' rhetoric with Microsoft and handhelds has become rather comedic, so the time has come to show whether an Xbox alternative to the Steam Deck is in fact coming, or whether we're still no way near a potential release date. The latest leak suggested that the Asus ROG Ally 2 was, in fact, going to arrive with Xbox-specific design features, but nothing has been officially revealed since. Read the rest of the story...
