After Us Review (PS5)

After Us offers a glimpse of our future and a warning of things to come.

A gaming experience where you engage in thoughtful introspection, wordless encounters, and some platforming across Earth's many diverse locations to undo the devastation caused by global warming sounds like an intriguing idea on paper. Its execution in After Us, however, leaves quite a bit to be desired. Some awkward platforming, poor combat, and performance woes will ultimately leave you feeling a little less...
 

Redfall is Arkane's Worst Game Ever

It's also the worst "AAA" developed title in recent memory.

It was a struggle to finish Redfall. It was an absolute struggle thanks to performance issues, technical deficiencies, crashes, broken A.I., and uninspired quest design. It was the antithesis of fun and I pushed myself to complete the game out of pure spite.

Prior to playing Redfall, I saw Arkane as a studio that could do no wrong when it comes to their output. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic in 2006...

Right now, you can opt into the new beta for the Steam client that makes some drastic changes to the In-Game Overlay. Now, you...
 

UK Blocks Microsoft Activision Merger

The CMA claims the deal would harm cloud gaming.

Cloud gaming. Cloud gaming is the reason why the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in the UK voted to block the $69 billion deal that would see Microsoft taking over Activision Blizzard.

The decision didn't come down to concerns over Call of Duty exclusivity or anything that would make some measure of sense. No, it came down to the CMA being concerned that the deal would "undermine new and innovative" competition...
 

Report: E3 2023 is Canceled

This fate was inevitable.

According to a report by IGN, E3 2023 is canceled. This comes after weeks of publishers and gaming companies stating that they were not going to attend E3 this year, including Ubisoft, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Sega, Tencent, and more.

IGN's report from March 30 says that two separate sources confirmed with them that the Entertainment Software Association (ESA; the group behind E3) sent out emails to ESA members earlier today announcing the cancellation....

    EA Pulling Mirror's Edge, Battlefield 1943, Bad Company 1 & 2 from Stores in April

    The Battlefield games I can understand, but Mirror's Edge?

    Electronic Arts and DICE just announced that they plan on "sunsetting" a handful of older titles. By "sunsetting" they mean that they will be taking the servers for these games offline and they will also remove the games from digital storefronts. After April 27, 2023, you will no longer be able to purchase these games.

    Those games being pulled starting April 28 include Battlefield 1943, Battlefield:...

    Elden Ring Players Died Billions of Times

    Elden Ring players died over a billion times more than there are people on Earth right now.

    The world population currently sits at about 7.96 billion people. Elden Ring players died over 9 billion times since the game's release. That is a lot of character deaths, especially since it has been just one year since Elden Ring was released.

    This interesting fact was shared today to celebrate said anniversary from Bandai Namco. Not only did they share that there were 9 billion...

This studio will be led by industry veteran Ryan Burnett. Burnett has been in game development for about two decades now. He previously worked at Raven...

    Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Story Trailer is Light on Story

    Finally, a story trailer that doesn't just spill the entire can of beans.

    EA and Respawn Entertainment just released a new story focused trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Unlike many other story trailers for games, this one doesn't exactly reveal much of the plot. At least, I don't think it did. It was kept vague enough while showing a bunch of quick scenes.

    Still, if you don't want any spoilers at all, it's best to avoid this trailer.

    New 'COUNTER STRIKE' and 'CS2' Trademarks Filed by Valve

    New trademarks by Valve sure do seem to be hinting at something. But what ever could it be?

    March really started off with a bang for Counter-Strike fans when Nvidia included references to something called Counter-Strike 2. Specifically, the drivers starting with 531.18 included profiles for "Counter-strike 2 (cs2.exe)" and "Counter-strike 2 (csgos2.exe)."

    Since that time, the Counter-Strike community has gone a bit rabid in their desire for a Source...

    You will need a newer generation console for this, of course.

    In honor of the game's fifth anniversary, Ubisoft rolled out a new 60fps patch for Far Cry 5. This update, out now on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S will allow you to run the game at a much higher framerate than what you were used to seeing on consoles.

    This 60fps update doesn't seem to include anything else. Meaning, you won't see any next-gen graphical bells and whistles here. I am reading from some users...
