Goshdarnnit, Atari! After Jace Hall got the cult-classic first-person shooterBloodonthe road to a remake, Atari has stepped in and temporarily shut the project down. Hall notified theBloodfan community ofThe Postmortemabout the standstill with Atari, but didn’t elaborate on the reasons why Atari want the project on hold. “Obviously, I am disappointed. Particularly given Atari’s continued encouragement along with the amount of time, effort and correspondence that I have put into this venture,” Hall wrote....

These 12 minutes won’t time-loop, though Upcoming action gameBlack Myth: Wukonghas a new gameplay showcase out, and it’s still looking impressive as ever. Developer Game Science Studioannouncedthat it’s developing the somewhat-Souls-like action game in Unreal Engine 5. And in the gameplay trailer they’re showing off, the team is also apparently making use of DLSS tech. Honestly, every timeWukongpops back up on the timeline, it’s a little treat. This video game adaptation ofJourney to the Westturned a lot of headswhen it popped up before, and this new gameplay snippet is just as eye-catching....

If you haven’t been playingOverwatchrecently, Mercy has gone through a few big changes. Most notably, her ultimate was altered so that it no longer resurrects an entire team (that was moved to a new ability that targets single heroes), but rather, boosts her innate abilities and allows her to fly. That ultimate, Valkyrie, is also being tweaked as we speak in the public test realm (PTR). As explained on the official forums by Community Manager Josh Engen, Mercy’s will no longer get a free cooldown reset after using her ultimate....

Ratings boards strike again Brothers – A Tale of Two Sonswas an emotional, memorable journey when it released two years ago. In fact, the twin-stick puzzler took a lot of people by surprise. As it turns out, it looks as if players will get to relive that expedition (or try it for the first time) on current-gen consoles. On May 20, 505 Games seems to have registeredBrotherson PS4 and Xbox One with the USK — the German video game classification board....

‘We’re listening’ Bungie was basically shut down for the entire holiday season whenDestiny 2was at its worst. Fans were demanding answers for changes, for the focus on microtransactions, and the complete lack of communication from the studio after promising that they’ll be more active. No one should fault anyone for taking a Christmas break. The thing is, they waited an entire month after all that to issue any sort of response, presumably hoping that the rabble would die down — except it didn’t....

First gameplay trailer shown at The Game Awards We’re extremely ready forNieR Replicant. I would’ve loved to spend my whole holiday break with this upgraded “alternate edition” release for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, but April will do. I’ll make time for it. Square Enix brought a gameplay trailer to The Game Awards (well, thepre-show), and here it is, looking pretty much like what you’d expect. Yoko Taro will hurt us – even returning players – all over again....

After the developer Colossal Order announced thatCities: Skylines 2would be getting some much-needed triage via dedicated, post-launch reworks, anyone playing the game is bound to have felt trepidation. Then,the Economy 2.0 dropped, and it appears to have panned out well enough. It’s taken some time for the community to runCities: Skylines 2‘s Economy 2.0 through its paces, but the good news is that Colossal Order is finally turning things around, from the looks of it....

Good news for PC fans Brian Hicks,Lead Producer Bohemia Interactive announced today thatDay Zwill indeed feature a full single-player component, as well as “wide open” mod support at the PC Gaming Show at E3. You’ll also be able to host your own servers forDay Z, so you can do “whatever you want” with the game. Hicks seems to be taking a very nonchalant approach to everything, so you may expect big support from Bohemia Interactive for open-ended content....

Today I playedDOOM 3: BFG Editionand it was so intensely scary that I did an actual poo in my underpants. Fortunately, it was just a small and hard one, so I don’t think anybody noticed. I just slyly shook it out of my leg next to some other jerk and let Bethesda deal with it. The thing about the poo was how spherical it was. We’re talking an almost perfect globe....
