You can watch the trailer for Star Overdrive yourself below.Star Overdrive – Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase 8.27.2024 Look how sick this is!Watch on YouTubeThere’s no word quite yet on what other platform it’ll be coming to once the timed exclusivity is over, or even who the developers behind the game are!

Everyone stay calm, this is a story about the economic realities of video games and how that affects companies and consumers.Baldur’s Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin 2 are both video games, and Larian’s publishing director says they were priced “below their value”, because the studio had “faith” it’d get back what it put in and cared about the costs us regular joes already face.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings There is a bit of context surrounding this assertion ending up in a Tweet, and it’s as follows. Spurred by Star Wars Outlaws’ pricing, Michael Douse, the publishing director in question, said in another Tweet earlier this week that he believes: “Almost all games should cost more at a base level beca…

Earlier this week, things were looking pretty bleak for folks hoping to play soulslike Enotria: The Last Song on Xbox when it releases on September 19, as its devs announced that the version of the game for that plaform had been delayed indefinitely. Now, however, Phil Spencer and co have reached out, and Xbox Enotria will be a thing “ASAP”.If you’re out of the loop, developer Jyamma Games revealed earlier this week that it’d had to abandon plans to bring the game Xbox as well as PC and PS5 at release, citing a “lack of communication” from Microsoft regarding the Xbox submission process as the cause.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings Now, the studio has tweeted that things are back on track. “We would like to officially thank Phil Spencer and his tea…

Helldivers 2’s upcoming patch will be bringing with it some pretty beefy buffs to the RS-422 railgun, with Arrowhead having slid the weapon’s damage numbers upwards in its efforts to deliver the kind of fun that the game’s community has been asking for.The studio is offering little snippets of the notes for Patch 01.001.007 at the moment, building on what it shared in last week’s blog post and building up to the update dropping on September 17.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings Following up on revealing its plans in terms of buffing flamethrowers yesterday, Arrowhead’s latest revceal concerns the railgun, which was a very popular weapon, especially early on in the game’s lifespan when it was being used to take down armoured foes before being hit with…

Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida has asked fans to not create any “offensive or inappropriate” mods for the game prior to its PC release later today. That means you, yes you reading this right now, have been asked not to create anything vulgar or naughty. It doesn’t matter how handsome Clive is!This plea stems from a PC Gamer interview, in which Yoshida refused to name any specifics as to avoid goading cheeky modders into creating exactly what he and Square Enix wouldn’t want to see. However, it doesn’t take a mind reader to know the kind of stuff he’s talking about. No cocks, fellas. It’ll probably make Yoshida very sad to see a naked Clive pop up on his Twitter feed.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings This may seem like an odd thing to specif…

The final results for the winner of the Pokemon TCG Illustration Contest 2024 are in, and I’m in love with the winning piece.Earlier this year, The Pokemon Company held a competition for fans of the series to submit some art that if it won, would be made into an official Pokemon Trading Card Game card (oh the winner gets $5000 too, which is nice). The results of the competition have finally been announced, and the winner is an artist by the name of Kazuki Minami, who drew maybe the best Pikachu card I’ve ever seen. You can see it at the end of a video that shows a bunch of the other submissions, or just look at the top of this page, but for those of you that don’t want to do either of those things, it’s a lovingly rendered piece showing Pikachu yawning and scratching its head with its foot…

RoboCop might have struggled to get another big-screen installment off the ground for years, but the IP is far from dead.

You. You there! Be afraid. Be very AFRAID.Xbox has just announced another batch of Game Pass arrivals – the titles which’ll be hitting the service during the first bit of October – and included is a game so utterly cursed that it can be used to create your own sitcom fanfiction.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings Yep, MLB The Show 24, a game I used eariler this year to stage what scientists have since come to refer to in hushed tones as ‘The UberCostanza experiment’ will be available on Game Pass Standard (console) from October 2.

It’s been a little over one day now since the launch of Vessel of Hatred, the first paid expansion to Diablo 4. The launch was several hours late, thanks to the discovery of some last-minute bugs, but it now appears there’s more to complain about here than we initially realised.One problem, in particular, has been driving a lot of players up the wall. No matter how they bought the expansion, the game sometimes decides they do not own it, and either kicks them out of the session, or doesn’t allow them to start.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings This is a fairly typical license validation issue, and in this case, it was limited to consoles. Still, it’s a problem PlayStation and Xbox players really didn’t need to deal with.…

VariousThere are so many ways to be a Dungeons & Dragons fan these days. The tabletop RPG mainstay has been synonymous with pen-and-paper adventuring for 50 years now, and 2024 marks a major reworking of its core rulebooks to make the game more approachable. Anyone who’s played even just a couple of sessions knows how easy it can be to covet a friend’s set of custom dice, appreciate the care a Dungeon Master has taken in setting the right ambience for a crafted campaign, or even obsess over their choice of pen and notebook — after all, it’s what you’ll be spending a large chunk of time staring into as you ponder your character’s next heroic action.But what’s amazing is that you can be a huge D&D fan without ever touching a character sheet.
