It’s going to be a lot like Minecraft EverQuest Nextposted a developer diary yesterday, showing off what the materials and tools will look like inLandmark. Players will start off with a copper pickaxe, and they will be able to start harvesting basic materials right away. Eventually they’ll be able to do crazy things like carry lava around in a bucket, which is something that defies real-world logic and has to be inspired byMinecraft....
Plus, the Homeworld HD remakes are still on track RememberHardware: Shipbreakers? That game that was being developed by formerHomeworldteam members? Well now that Gearboxowns theHomeworldIP, it’s morphed into a new project in a partnership with developer Blackbird, using “millions of dollars” of Gearbox’s resources calledHomeworld Shipbreakers. It makes sense to just inject an IP intoShipbreakers project, as it stands to add a few more prospective fans to the mix, and add to the overall lore in the process....

Confirmed on the stream: Wooloo the sheep, Gossifleur the plant, Drednaw the dinosaur, Corviknight the taxi bird, and Eldegoss, Gossifleur’s evolution, were confirmed.

Plant in style I don’t have many dreams left that haven’t been fulfilled. I have a beautiful wife and a daughter. My two bucket-list items as a child were to go to Japan and E3, both of which have been checked off because of this job. Oh, and this job counts as a dream too. But I also have another low key act I want to accomplish: making my own hot sauce....
Regular updates planned for the DLC TheupcomingIceborneexpansionforMonster Hunter Worldwill be the game’s only expansion, according to producer Ryozo Tsujimoto. In a recent rapid-fire interview video from Game Informer, Tsujimoto stated that the developers at Capcom viewIceborneas the piece that completesWorld’sstory, which is what has led to the decision for this to be the only DLC expansion. Along with that tidbit, some other details for the update have been revealed. Around half ofIceborne’splot will take place in the brand new “Hoarfrost Reach” region....
The brains behind Jimquisition and Zero Punctuation get lyrical A few months back, I was chatting with Susan Arendt over at The Escapist about doing some sort of videogame poetry. It was a very vulgar idea. Yahtzee of Zero Punctuation was also mulling over a poetry-themed product. His was not as vulgar as mine, because it didn’t involve having sex with Ekans. Compromises were made, formations were formed, and we now have Jim and Yahtzee’s Rhymedown Spectacular, a weekly poetry corner of pop culture pompousness....
Appropriate seasonal wear It’s cold outside, but the cast ofDead or Alive 5is invincible, so they’re wearing swimsuits. At least some of them are furry. The newest Angels and Devils ($2.99 / 240 MSP each) costume packs from Team Ninja put some of the girls of DOA in bikinis and bunny ears. A $7.99 download gets you all the bunny suits. There are also three slightly less pervy non-bunny swimsuit packs, each priced at $4....
What’s YOUR stance on Yamcha? If youmissed it last week, Bill and I started an all Dragon Ball let’s-play/let’s-bullshit-about series called Just Saiyan, since we spend most of our workdays arguing like twelve-year-olds about whether or not Vegeta is cool. There are several dozen Dragon Ball Z games, so Bill and I are going on a “Mystical Adventure” and taking a “Grand Tour” of as many of these titles as possible....
The globally renown manga franchiseMy Hero Academiareleased its final chapter last August. While its conclusion received mixed reception, it’s only proof that the series has many fans.

In fact, he revealed inan interview with Marvelthat he is already slowly working on his next project....
‘No, we don’t got any, so stop calling’ [Forbloggers wantedlast month, Sir Charles of Shred reflects on one of the crazier periods in the last 20 years, the dawn of the Nintendo Wii. And straight out of New Jersey, no less! ~Stider] Despite being fortunate enough to own a major console during every console generation occurring within my lifetime, I’ve only had two console launch experiences. One of them, which I wrote about in my last blog (thanks for reading!...
This game is going to be a time sink Come for the jetpack-wearing dragon, stay for the combination of real-time strategy with base building, aerial combat, and overarching political role-playing. If it was not already clear before this extended gameplay walkthrough,Divinity: Dragon Commanderis very much its own thing. I hold a tremendous amount of respect for developers willing to show off so much of their games like this pre-release. Especially when there’s enough going on that 27 minutes doesn’t actually feel like much time at all....
Emergency maintenance ended Earlier this week, From Software tookBloodborneoffline for “emergency maintenance on the game servers,” presumably toaddress an exploitthat led to players gaining access to content fromThe Old HuntersDLC without paying for it. The servers are back up now, thankfully. Let the bells ring! The studio hasn’t said much about the situation other than to note that “in regards to the issues like NPC survivor state not [being] handed over properly which occurred in the previous update, we have provided a latest update (1....
