Yep, it’s impressive Those screenshots ofDriveclubback at E3 — where Evolution Studios demonstrated itsdynamic weather systemfor the PlayStation 4 racer — looked slick. But they were mere images. A month later, we now have footage of this stuff, albeit short clips that aren’t super high resolution. All the same, the rain, shown below inDriveclub‘s take on Scotland and Canada, impresses. There’s a lot going on behind the scenes to achieve these results....

Devolver Digital publishing, of course Fart. Toot. Fluff. Pass gas. Flatulate. However polite you want to be while describing gas escaping from a butthole, it’s still a pretty impolite thing to do in public. Impolite and funny (to me). Like this classic gem: Devolver Digital announced the mobile titleGassy Mob, which tasks players with farting on unsuspecting bystanders, then running away from the now-enraged fartees. Fittingly (fartingly), Devolver will be showing offGassy Mobat PAX Prime later this month....

Just a few days agowe pointed you to some trademark action from Square Enix on something calledFinal Fantasy Type-0. We daydreamed that it would be a new title that would be announced later this month in Tokyo. We’ll see. Something’s coming, that’s for sure. Now there’s a new URL from Square Enix. Guess what it is? Yep, it is FinalFantasyType0.com. You’ll want to keep an eye on that. We definitely will....

Is there anything Talion can’t do? My initial reaction after hearing aboutMiddle-earth: Shadow of Mordorand seeing this eight minutes or so of footage was that it’s a shame Monolith didn’t come with an original setting. Even if you aren’t a diehard Tolkien fan, you’ll quickly see what I mean. Putting those source-material concerns aside, as an open-world action game, I like the look of this. I’m skeptical about the procedurally-generated enemies holding up long-term as those systems can be tricky to get right, but the combat looks like decent fun and ability to see the leadership structure of the orcs is a novel mechanic....

We received a few tips this afternoon, pointing to aForzamotorsport.net forum post, in which user Slim135 says he was banned for a Breast Cancer Awareness bumper sticker as part of his custom livery setup inForza 3. The way we heard it, the sticker got him banned for having the word “breast” on it. Sounds a little ridiculous, right? Turns out it is. We contacted Turn 10’s Community Manager, Che Chou, to find out why someone would be banned for a relatively tame word like “breast....

Kevin Durant keeps it real A newNBA 2K15trailer is out in the wild, and it deals with the new mentor system. Last year the developer facilitated a mentorship mechanic with Lebron James, but now the idea has expanded to every NBA team, so whether it’s regular players or a legendary coach like Doc Rivers, you’ll get feedback and interaction with their likenesses and voices (Kevin Durant is probably the most relaxed and natural actor out of this bit....

2024 continues to be an awful year for employees within the games industry, as Take-Two Interactive has joined the long list of companies laying off staff. Inan April 16 filing, Take-Two laid out its plans for its cost reduction program, which it hopes will “enhance the Company’s margin profile, while still investing for growth.” This plan is expected to be complete by the end of 2024, and will see its workforce reduced by five percent....

For a limited time, you’ll be able to nab the deluxe edition of the game, which comes with the soundtrack and the base experience.

Of all the studios this could happen to… The offices ofJoe DangerandNo Man’s Skydeveloper Hello Games were flooded this week, as detailed in a series oftweets by the studio. “A river broke its bank nearby yesterday, and A LOT of water flooded in really quickly. A biblical amount. It was coming in the windows!” Unfortunately, the damage was severe. “We’ve lost most things — PCs, monitors, furniture, a door, a wall …Lots of personal stuff lost (my console collection!...

As someone who also loves to pick off enemies at a distance, I found myself hard-pressed trying to acquire the ideal sniper rifle for myStarfieldarsenal. I was stuck with a modified Beowulf for dozens of hours. Thankfully, you eventually start getting options for ballistic sniper rifles in the game. First, we have the Justifier, which you receive as an award during theFreestar Collective questline. The other standout is the Hard Target, a sniper rifle you’re able to only get after meeting a requirement inStarfield....
