Bien joue The intro toMetal Gear Solidis burned in my mind. Not just the opening cinematic, but the entire first hour or so, which felt like eons as I slowly grasped the game’s ins and outs and experimented with ways to mess with guards. I had also just come off beating the originalTenchu(they both released around the same time!), and was on an action stealth kick. It was a glorious time to own a PlayStation....
Citing sources close to the studio, Video Games Chroniclehas reportedthatTimesplittersdeveloper Free Radical is facing closure by Embracer Group. The original Free Radical filed for bankruptcy in 2008 after the cancelation ofStar Wars: Battlefront IIIand a failed bid at aGoldeneye 007remake for Activision. The remains of the studio were bought up by Crytek, rebranded Crytek UK, and the staff went to support some of that developer’s games, such as theCrysisseries andWarface. During this time, a lot of the staffreportedly left the studio....
The editor now supports Supercross tracks I likedTrials Fusionquite a bit, but I didn’t stick with it for long. Been meaning to get back in there to see what the community of track creators has been up to — impressive things, I’m sure. RedLynx released an update this week that enables players to make their own Supercross tracks for local multiplayer, with unspecified “improvements” to Tournaments, Track Central, and the Track Editor thrown in for good measure....

Back for round two DELTARUNE IS SO MUCH FUN! We burned through the first chapter last week and dabbled in the second, so tonight we’re seeing where the last of the demo ends with anotherDeltarunestream. More chapters will presumably be releasedwith the full gameand I absolutely can’t wait. This game legit makes me laugh so hard I cry, the characters are loveable and hilarious, the music is great, the art is super well done....

Not-so-endless wait to find out THQ Nordic have launched amysterious teaser site, featuring little more than a pale, blurred image and a countdown clock. The site’s arrival was accompanied by a tweet simply stating “Endless Winter.” The countdown is scheduled to hit zero at 19:00 PT today, which happens to be about a half hour into tonight’s Game Awards 2017 ceremony, so whatever THQ Nordic have on the horizon, it won’t be too long before the site unlocks and reveals its secrets....
We’ve been following the Straw Hat Pirates’ exploits for decades now. As we watch them sail from one island to another, we’ve not onlyseen their characters develop, but we’ve also seen the world of One Piece expand. Alongside the introduction of new environments is the debut of numerous side characters. Following this development,One Piecehas accruedmore than a thousand named characters. While others may argue that that is already far too many characters and that the series is already too long, fans will (likely) agree that there isn’t enoughOne Pieceto consume....
8BitDohas announcedthat their N64 wireless controller, the “8BitDo 64 Controller,” will be up for preorder July 30, 2025. This comes alongside Analogue’s announcement that the Analogue 3D will open preorders at the same time. Personally, I like the classic, awkward feel of the original N64 controller. Rumors of it being uncomfortable are unfounded by anyone who knows how to hold it properly. The stick is garbage, but I’ve long since replaced them (recently, with 8BitDo’s ownHall Effect N64 sticks)....
So, that’s good news There we were. The same notion on everyone’s mind, whether they liked it or not. Members of the press conflicted in their reluctant eagerness to address, key developers dreading the topic altogether. It clouded the air, enough to make everyone slightly uncomfortable with its inevitability. It was the Xenomorph-impregnated elephant in the room. “How did the reaction to Aliens: Colonial Marines affect your work on Alien: Isolation?...
One of the reasons whySTALKER 2: Heart of Chornobylis such a good experience, regardless of its many problems, is the Zone itself.The Zone is filled to the brim withLegendary Artifacts,weird guns, and secret loot caches. To open some of these up, though, you’ll need key codes! Whereas the oldSTALKERgames did present the player with a secret code or a puzzle to solve every once in a while, these weren’t highlight moments at all....
Can(dle) you guess who it is? Earlier this week we found out aboutthree newPokkén Tournamentfightersjoining the roster: Garchomp, Braixen, and non-shadow Mewtwo. However, none of them matchedthe clue Bandai Namco gaveearlier this month, teasing another new fighter soon to be revealed. Today, thePokkén Tournamentwebsiteupdated to unveil the next fighter as none other than Chandelure, the Ghost/Fire-type chandelier Pokémon, which indeed matches the clue from Bandai Namco. I know, it’s not Metapod like everybody was hoping for, but still… Chandelure!...
