I played a near-final build of Mouse: P.I. for Hire and was impressed at how much more there is to this first-person shooter besides just its gorgeous 1930's cartoon look and rubberhose animation style. Check out my preview if you're interested: www.ign.com/articles/mou...
I got a behind-closed-doors look at a new gameplay demo of Control Resonant, and I'm now extra hyped for it because it's not a soulslike at all; in Remedy's own words, it's a fast-paced character action game! My first impressions: www.ign.com/articles/con...
Welp. bsky.app/profile/iron...
They're both owned by Microsoft. All your money is going to the same place. 😜
This is such a blatant tease that if this ISN'T a Fallout: New Vegas remaster, then whatever it actually is won't be received well. www.ign.com/articles/fal...
Great video (tough as part of it is to hear) from longtime OG Xbox developer Laura Fryer giving her thoughts on Phil Spencer's retirement. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKUq...
Everyone thought Sony was the villain in the "Why hasn't there been a Bloodborne remake?" story, but in true Scooby-Doo fashion, when the perpetrator was finally unmasked, it turns out it was FromSoftware all along! Nice scoop by @jasonschreier.bsky.social here: www.ign.com/articles/blo...
Sony closing ranks on consoles while PC gaming continues to grow is...an interesting strategy. They are zigging while Microsoft zags. Obviously PlayStation is in a MUCH stronger position than Xbox right now, but I wonder how this plays out over five years. www.ign.com/articles/con...
I played the first hour of Samson: A Tyndalston Story, which is from the creator of Just Cause and a bunch of ex-Avalanche folks.
It's a gritty brawler that has a AA scope but looks AAA. I had a great time with it. Here's my preview if you're interested: www.ign.com/articles/sam...
I just watched the 41-minute tribute to Vince Zampella from the DICE developer event a couple weeks ago. It was beautiful.
I was humbled & flattered to be included in it in the very first minute – via my Unfiltered interview with him from 2015. RIP Vince. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDS5...
I'm literally doing the thing you're asking for in the post you're responding to. smh
From the outside, this is insane considering how much Sony likes remaking and remastering things, and how incredibly good Bluepoint is at doing it. RIP Bluepoint. www.ign.com/articles/pla...
My interpretation of Todd Howard's quote here is that they're probably ditching the base-building stuff we saw in Fallout 4 & Starfield. Which, selfishly, I'd be in favor of. I never personally enjoyed that part of those games. (P.S. Nice get @gameovergreggy.bsky.social!) www.ign.com/articles/the...
My daughter and I are only like an hour into Reanimal after getting started last night, but I'm really enjoying it so far! Definitely a lot of Limbo/Inside vibes (and obviously Little Nightmares), which of course is like catnip to me. 😂
Everything about the new The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer screams "This will be a fun, almost Indiana Jones-like adventure." I hope that's exactly what it turns out to be: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMoT...
We're talking about 14 of the biggest upcoming RPGs on this week's new episode of Next-Gen Console Watch. Check it out if you're interested: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mts...
I learned in real time on Next-Gen Console Watch yesterday (it'll be published for you tomorrow morning) about a new Square Enix HD-2D game: The Adventures of Elliot. I'd somehow missed it entirely. This looks AWESOME. A little Ys, a little Zelda! www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xbR...
Good for you. I got one right after turning 45 at my doctor's recommendation and I'm glad I did: they found four (fortunately benign) polyps.
Glad you're doing it! The prep isn't even that bad, and the procedure was basically just "taking a nap." I continued my day when it was done. Good luck!
This happening a day or two after the frontman of Three Doors Down, who was about the same age, only made it hit home even more as a 45-year-old.
Mock me if you will, but I loved Dawson's Creek when I was a teenager (remember, I'm old, LOL). So this news hurts, especially as someone fairly close to the same age he was.
RIP James Van Der Beek. www.ign.com/articles/jam...
Our final preview of the sublime-looking @replacedgame.bsky.social is now online, courtesy of my colleague @cardy.bsky.social. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one crazy-excited for this 2.5D pixel-art beauty after getting a chance to play it. Check it out: www.ign.com/articles/rep...
The Carmageddon series has had its ups and downs, but Carmageddon 2 is one of my favorite arcade racing games ever (it had a DeLorean-like called the "DeGory'un"!). This out-of-nowhere new one looks like a nice mix of Twisted Pixel & Burnout IMHO: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1y65...
Appreciate you listening, Jay! And I did say they could have those ideas for free, LOL. Maybe I shouldn't sell myself short! 😜
Heck yeah Rob!
I confess I wasn't familiar with the first Huntdown, but this upcoming prequel, Huntdown: Overtime, looks really awesome IMHO. Love the intentional '80's-style cheese and pixel-art gore: www.youtube.com/watch?v=awVf...
I say this not as an attempt to hate or dunk on it, but I can genuinely say that even though it's only been out for four months, I rarely hear about – or see – the iPhone Air anymore.
For those that bought one, how are you feeling about it 100+ days later?
I may have posted this before but IMO whoever is managing the Warhammer 40K IP is doing a stellar job. They always seem to pick devs who are a great fit. From Space Marine to Boltgun to Dawn of War and more, the WH40K games always seem to be really good. New DoW4 vid: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUHw...
