You’re going to have to wait until next year to be brutalized by Dark Souls developer From Software again. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice , its shinobi and swords action game, will be released on PS4, Xbox One and PC on March 22, 2019. The game has an interesting resurrection mechanic that should make death less punishing than in Dark Souls, but that won’t necessarily make the game easier. “There’s one thing I’d like to make sure isn’t misunderstood: the resurrection system was not introduced to make

With Hitman 2016 , developer IO Interactive wanted to craft what it called a “world of assassination”.

Game makers love to show off about their dynamic weather systems and rain physics, but Just Cause 4 is taking it one step further with a full on tornado.

You can’t just chase down a tornado in a Fiat Punto, so the video shows us the Storm Chaser, a special vehicle Rico can commandeer. Following the tornado you can see it sucking

If these contextual limitations have been what has traditionally kept developers away from setting their games in England, the industry’s growing fascination with alternative history may provide the solution. Take We Happy Few, set in a timeline where Germany wins World War 2 and violence is therefore understandably more prevalent. So Vampyr and We Happy Few don’t shy away from examining Britain’s darker shades, but that’s not the case for all the other Brit-focused games this year. “I do think

Up until very recently, for me at least, the biggest challenge standing in the way of unbounded excitement regarding Fallout 76 came down to the answering of a single question: Just what the hell even is Fallout 76? Until Quakecon 2018, Fallout 76 had been a game defined by isolated, back-of-the-box bullet points without any real, coherent shape. The specific, building block components of Fallout 76 were detailed early on. Sitting in Quakecon’s Fallout 76 panel, I found that slowly, steadily, Fa

“There was definitely too much at the end, it was too intense, not only the security bots but there was some other stuff,” he tells Kotaku. “In general, I think it was too intense, we were trying to ask the players to backtrack, and do some stuff. So once it’s there, you cannot tell them at the last minute, ‘Oh by the way we’re going to delay the game.’ There’s an entire chain, an entire organisation.” “I can’t say definitively what might happen down the road, anything could happen, but [Dishono

Avengers: Infinity War, not exactly a light-hearted frolic through the fields in the first place, could’ve been a whole lot darker. Speaking to /Film, visual effects supervisor Dan DeLeeuw reveals that Thanos’ post-snap scene with Gamora in the Soul Stone was originally far grimmer than the one we were given. As the Mad Titan walked towards the younger version of Gamora, the orange hue of the Infinity Stone was meant to be replaced by a river of blood. Besides, when was the last comic book movie

The thing is, as brilliant as Shenmue and Shenmue 2 are, in the series’ absence, their uniqueness has been superseded.
