Ever since The Elder Scrolls Online came to consoles, players have been calling for crossplay. Fellow longstanding MMOs like Final Fantasy 14, Warframe, and New World: Aeternum all feature the ability to play across PC and console, and I've found that it's always a massive boon to the experience. So why isn't it in ESO yet? This is something Kinda Funny's Greg Miller asked the game's developers during a multi-part ESO podcast series, and it turns out Zenimax is hopeful to have it working one day.

Oblivion Remastered is just the latest in a long line of redesigns and polished-up versions of some of the best old games, and the Fallout series seems equally primed for such treatment. The natural speculation following Bethesda's return to The Elder Scrolls is that Fallout 3, the studio's first entry in the series, would be the immediate choice. But what about Interplay's beloved original? Series co-creator Tim Cain has been thinking about exactly that, and concludes that there are some pretty key challenges in the way.

Even though Baldur's Gate 3 has been in the spotlight for almost two years, fans are still perplexed by some of its mysteries. One of the game's greatest qualities is that players can form their own paths to get through the story, and they can be as chaotic or peaceful as they like. However, this can sometimes also be a flaw, as first-time players may not be inclined to seek out certain characters or areas, which can lead to later gaps in their knowledge. View the full article
Freja may have only just come to Overwatch 2 Stadium, but she's already proved to be incredibly overpowered. Her bola builds are making OW2 almost entirely unplayable for the opposite team, and that's exactly why Blizzard is completely removing one of her powers while it works on a fix.

Dragon Age star Alix Wilton Regan has given her personal response to the backlash faced by last year's Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and blamed the "mixed reactions" on people who "wanted to see the game fail, or wanted to see [BioWare] fail." The actor, who plays the Female Inquisitor in both Dragon Age: Inquisition and Dragon Age: The Veilguard, told IGN that she was "absolutely devastated" to see BioWare's latest game fail to find a larger audience, despite mostly positive review scores from critics. Speaking during a new interview discussing her many iconic video game characters to date — as well as her role in Microsoft's upcoming Perfect Dark reboot — Wilton Regan said she had loved her time as BioWare's Inquisitor, though did not believe the character would now return. "I feel absolutely devastated for BioWare as a studio that they got such mixed reactions to the game," Wilton Regan said of the response to The Veilguard. "I personally thought it was a really strong game. I thought it was just BioWare being more BioWare. "I also think a lot of people kind of wanted to see it fail, or wanted to see [BioWare] fail, either because they're just really bad people on the internet — of which there are unfortunately many, as we have discovered." At launch, The Veilguard was review-bombed online. Criticism of the game being "woke" centred on its inclusion of a non-binary companion character, and the ability for the player to choose to be transgender. On Steam, Dragon Age: The Veilguard now sits with a 'Mixed' player respose, with user-defined tags for the game describing it under "LGBTQ+" and "politics" labels. "People were attacking the game before it was released," Wilton Regan continued. "It's ridiculous. How can you judge a game, a book, a film, a TV show before it's actually released? You can't. It's an idiotic stance to take." In January, publisher EA said Dragon Age: The Veilguard had "underperformed" versus its expectations by around 50%, just days after the game's director Corrine Busche confirmed she was leaving the company. Meanwhile, other BioWare staff who worked on the game were laid off. In the same month, BioWare signalled it had released its final update for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, with no further content announced or expected. "I only ever want to see the folks from BioWare thrive, because I adore them," Wilton Regan concluded. "And whatever they go on to do next I have no doubt their talents will be richly rewarded. We're really lucky we'll get more gold from them in the future." A slimmed-down BioWare is now working on Mass Effect 5, which currently does not have a release date.

Part empire builder, part roguelike deckbuilder, 9 Kings is certainly an intriguing proposition.

It's always heart-breaking to see a promising new multiplayer game scrapped, but it's even sadder still to see one wrap up development before it even fully launches. Unfortunately, that's exactly what's happened to Battle Aces - an RTS game aiming to deliver super-fast 1v1 and 2v2 matches while still boasting plenty of strategic depth. Despite its promising premise, and the fact that it has a former Starcraft dev as a game director, Battle Aces has reached the end of its journey. Read the rest of the story...
