I was waiting for the game's director to show up in this but they didn't, i feel like part of their job is to fight management and preserve the original vision of the game as much as possible so that the studio can be confident in what they're making, otherwise you're just throwing something together to please some guy who makes more money than you who probably won't even play it.06-02-2023, 06:26 AM -
Development so troubled that developers hoped it would just get cancelled.
It may come as no surprise to you to hear that the development of Redfall from Arkane Austin was plagued with issues at all levels. This includes a lack of oversight from Xbox management, staffing issues, and an ever changing design basis for the game itself. When Redfall launched last month, it was met with plenty of poor review scores from critics and players. It was filled with a myriad of technical bugs,...06-01-2023, 06:00 PM -
Several phases are planned for Early Access.
Starship Troopers: Extermination was released into Steam Early Access a couple of weeks back and I have to say, it's a ton of fun already. The team at Offworld Industries doesn't seem keen to stop the fun train any time soon as they just revealed their content roadmap for Early Access.
This roadmap includes at least five distinct phases that will be rolled out in the weeks and months ahead in the Early Access period. We see...06-01-2023, 04:12 PM -

And now to wonder if there will be extended life support like Ripple Effect Studios did for Battlefield 4. I wouldn't EXPECT Ripple Effect Studios to do it again, since they're busy enough with whatever unannounced game they're working on. I guess it'll depend on whether or not EA wants to spend more money into Battlefield 2042 after this final season.
I'm not sure. It's possible to tide us over until the next Battlefield (which wouldn't be long given EA's intent to make Battlefield...05-27-2023, 02:52 PM -

You'll never guess who's to blame.
Update May 27 at 2:00PM (ET): According to several sources, the issue isn't with the Dolphin Emulator per se, but rather the fact that the Dolphin team includes the Wii decryption key, aka: Wii common key, with their releases of Dolphin. This is obviously a big "no-no" as those are Nintendo property and are used to break DRM for Wii titles.
You can see at least one take on this from Modern Vintage Gamer on YouTube starting at...05-26-2023, 07:03 PM -
The fifth and final season is nearly here.
Battlefield 2042 has had a hell of a run. From being a disappointing mess at launch to becoming a game that I can safely recommend in its current state. Today, DICE showed off a new trailer for Season 5: New Dawn, the fifth and final season of content for the FPS.
Season 5: New Dawn will launch on June 7. This season will include a brand new map, new weapons, new gadgets, and various quality of life improvements. Some of those...05-26-2023, 03:45 PM -
The multiplayer just wasn't engaging enough.
It was certainly a curious thing when The Last of Us multiplayer project was a no-show during the latest PlayStation Showcase event this week. The last we heard anything about this project came in January 2023 when Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann promised we would hear more about it later in 2023.
Technically, he didn't lie because there was some new information shared today about the multiplayer project. Only it's probably not...05-26-2023, 03:11 PM -
