And so, Paper Cut Mansion, a “procedurally generated roguelike horror game,” was born. Paper Cut Mansion plops you in a papercraft prison packed with puzzles and peril. “It’s the blemishes and defects that give Paper Cut Mansion its unique and unsettling atmosphere.” Paper Cut Mansion does not yet have a release date. Space Lizard says it’s “already deep into production,” and plans to launch a crowdfunding campaign for the game later this year.

The Good Life, an RPG about a strange town in England whose residents turn into cats at night, went to Fig last year in search of $1.5 million in funding. For starters, we didn’t prepare enough, and much of our announcement news was leaked long before the campaign got started,” Swery said. The Kickstarter goal campaign will be changed, but to what amount wasn’t revealed. Backer rewards will also be changed, and Swery said that The Good Life design and graphical style will be “enhanced.” Potentia

Chinese players will often play on North American servers, which creates frustrations among native North Americans due to the language barrier, network connectivity issues, and incidents of cheating. It’s an issue that has led some players to ask developer PUBG Corporation to region lock Chinese players . During a Twitch stream yesterday , Dr Disrespect defended his behavior by highlighting his upbringing and his “numerous” friends of Mexican and Asian descent. “Mrs. Assassin, my wife, multiraci

When an old gaming friend emailed me, telling me about a new player shard called Ultima Online Forever , I thought, what the heck. But many of us prefer throwback shards like Ultima Online Forever. I started playing on Ultima Online Forever just five days after launch, and many of my former gaming buddies joined me. Ultima Online has been an important part of my life for almost 20 years now. The future of Ultima Online Forever is unknown.

Before mining became a thing, the prospect of running a dozen graphics cards in a single motherboard would have seemed downright insane, and exciting. It has 12 native PCIe slots designed to make building a badass mining PC a relatively easy affair. “Using a native configuration prevents video card detection issues that may arise from splitting the PCIe slots. The positioning and spacing of the slots maximizes flexibility when installing graphic cards making installation of PCIe riser cards more

I’d completely forgotten about this, but Mojang halted development of Scrolls, the CCG/strategy game that landed it in a beef with Bethesda, in mid-2015. At the time it promised to keep the game servers online until at least July 2016, a commitment that it ended up seriously over-delivering on. But the studio announced earlier this week that on February 13—next Tuesday—the plug will finally be pulled. Mojang will hold a couple of special events leading into the shutdown, beginning with an opport

In what some will inevitably deem a knee jerk reaction, Goldman Sachs is saying that most cryptocurrencies are likely to lose all value. The reason, according to Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research Steve Strongin, is because cryptocurrencies do not have any intrinsic value to begin with. “Whether any of today’s cryptocurrencies will survive over the long run seems unlikely to me, although parts of them may evolve and survive,” Strongin said. “Because of the lack of intrinsic value, the curr

Fortnite hit a whopping 3.4 million peak concurrent player count over the weekend, surpassing PUBG’s Steam-topping 3.2 million record—a remarkable achievement by any stretch, marred only by the fact that the flood of players clobbered the servers repeatedly. The post is lengthy and technical, diving into issues like “MCP database latency,” “XMPP outages,” and “available IP exhaustion.” Epic wrote. It’s a good problem to have, but it’s a problem nonetheless: Gamers obviously dig Fortnite but if t

Vampyr, Life is Strange developer Dontnod’s vampire RPG, will release on June 5, 2018, the studio announced today. After being pushed back to spring 2018 last September, the updated release date was revealed in the latest and final installment of “Dontnod Presents Vampyr,” a series of deep-dive dev diaries exploring Vampyr’s themes and inspirations. The final diary, titled “Stories from the Dark,” is more nebulous than previous episodes and looks at the challenges and opportunities unique to vid

Are you starting to regret not purchasing a larger capacity solid state drive for your PC? You can alleviate that problem by nabbing this 2TB SSD on Amazon, for $390. That’s not cheap, of course, but it’s the best price around for a 2TB SSD (if you can find a better deal, feel free to share). It’s a 2.5-inch SATA 6Gbps SSD that uses 3D triple-level cell (TLC) NAND flash memory. Based on the specs, it’s not the fastest 2.5-inch SSD out there, but it does look to be the least expensive.

Last week we covered the changes Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia is making to the Total War formula, but how did the systems play out in practice? My first act in Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia is to charge my army at some rebels and get my general killed. War Engine Thrones of Britannia runs on a version of Attila’s engine, to ensure stability and compatibility with a wider range of rigs. I can’t let the Sea Kings continue to run rampant, so I march out of my stronghold to meet them

Have you ever sat around and wished you could adjust your power supply’s RGB lighting with your voice? Hell, do you even care about having RGB lighting on a PSU? Thermaltake seems to think the answer is ‘yes’ to both questions, so it went and updated is mobile app to allow for this very thing. Thermaltake is billing this as an “AI Voice Control” feature of its DPS G mobile application for iOS, with a version for Android coming soon. But who cares about all that when you can say, “Ripple!,” and y

The PC Gamer Weekender returns to the London Olympia on February 17-18 (one week from Saturday! ), bringing with it exclusive access to new PC games ahead of release, tournaments, and a range of developer talks. With the latter in mind, we’re pleased to announce Klang Games will join us on the Developer Stage to talk about its upcoming MMO god game Seed. Titled, ‘Seed—Build Your Own Utopia’, Vondi’s PC Gamer Weekender Main Stage panel takes place on Sunday, February 18 at 12 noon. Ticket prices

It wasn’t a year ago that Relic spoke hopefully about expanding Dawn of War 3 with new races, factions and campaign gubbins beyond its base game. In conversation with Eurogamer, Relic says DoW 3 failed to meet its launch targets, and has consistently underperformed since. Apples and oranges and all that, but I do wonder if Dawn of War 3’s MOBA leanings turned some players off from the outset. With Dawn of War 3, we simply don’t have the foundation we need to produce major content. We’re working

The Metal Gear series is no stranger to controversy, but Survive—the first post-Kojima entry that’s due later this month—has split opinion. Metal Gear Survive is hosting a PC beta next week. Another METAL GEAR SURVIVE BETA is coming next week. #MGSurvive pic.twitter.com/J9FttGMl3zFebruary 8, 2018As the image there suggests, this is Metal Gear Survive’s second beta, but the first to feature on PC. I’m yet to sample Metal Gear Survive myself, but I really fancy battering hordes of mindless zombies

The thought of Batman, Sub-Zero and the Teenage Mutant Hero, rather , Ninja Turtles starring in the same fighting game is enough to send child me’s head spinning. As of February 20 (Feb 13 for Ultimate Edition owners) my formative dreams will be realised, as the Heroes in a Half Shell join Injustice 2’s roster. With that, we’re given a glimpse of how the anthropomorphous reptiles leverage different movesets, powers and special moves. In turn, players can tweak their character’s loadouts and of c

ARK Park, in case the name (not to mention the headline above) doesn’t make it clear, is an Ark: Survival Evolved offshoot. Announced last year, it’s a fairly laid back museum-like affair where you can wander around and gawk at prehistoric beings. It’ll launch for both Vive and Oculus Rift (not to mention PSVR), and is handled by a third-party studio, Snail Games. “Designed from the ground up as a stunningly realistic dinosaur theme park simulation, ARK Park allows players to freely traverse the

While I have a newfound appreciation for World of Warcraft’s older quests and Blizzard’s witty writing, level-scaling also showcases just how poorly parts of World of Warcraft have aged. While it doesn’t fix all of the problems that Warcraft’s older zones have, leveling a new character is much more fun. Perhaps the greatest benefit of the new system is the way it more naturally casts the spotlight back on World of Warcraft’s story. Revisiting old dungeons is actually pretty fun now. I suspect th

Witchball, a self-described “post-reality racing game” from developer Stephen Clark, pits two players against each other in a race to the finish on several basic courses with obstacles. A ball floats in between the two halves of the screen and players try to score on the other. Witchball might feel like an arcade classic, but the way it presents itself is very different. Of course, items can level the playing field—the “World Princess” allows players to phase through obstacles, for example. Witc
