Tech demonstration video In an attempt to drum up more interest for theProject AwakenedKickstarter, Phosphor Games has released an Unreal Engine 4 tech demonstration. The campaign ends in four days and has managed to pull in over $200,000 which is, regrettably, less than half of the funding goal. It’s going to take something special for this to make it. In a lot of ways, it looks like a dream superhero game....

Sony has declared that PlayStation Vita games shall do away with a fixed pricing model, instead using a range of different prices to help combat the rise of cheap smartphone games. That’s Sony doing something adaptive and smart. I’m genuinely impressed. “I think it would be safe to assume we will take a more tailored approach than perhaps we’ve done in the past,” said SCEE CEO Jim Ryan. “It’s our challenge to ensure that the gaming experience that we provide is closer to that TV console experience than it is to your 69p thing that you’ve downloaded on your iPhone....

The Baker Family are still raising hell In 2017, Capcom redefined its flagship survival horror series with the launch ofResident Evil 7: Biohazard. Daubed in miserable sepia tones, sporting a new first-person viewpoint, and powered by a brand new engine, the southern gothic sequel helped reinvent the franchise – offering a fresh style from both a visual and gameplay standpoint, while retaining the tense atmosphere, hair-raising action, and intricate lore of entries’ past....

The dank between Destinywas released earlier this year, and like many hyped games, it failed to deliver on its promises. The good news? It was still a well crafted shooter, and practically everything involving the actual gameplay was excellent. In fact, I find it hard to go back to other shooters now — that’s how goodDestinyfeels. Unfortunately, the folks over at Bungie made a number of design choices that prevent players from consistently having fun....

The end of an era If you’re a child of the ’90s, chances are you’ve playedRuneScapeat one point or another. What is possibly the first MMO for multiple generations of gamers,RuneScapehas been trucking along since its launch in 2001. Despite a couple of sequels and other games stealing its thunder,RuneScaperemained popular enough for developer Jagex to keep it online. Today, though, Jagex announced it will be shutting down the servers for the legendary title on July 28, 2025....

I want some of those magical bullet-time plants So far in Square Enix’ run of trailers forShadow of the Tomb Raider,we’ve seen Larakilling people from the undergrowthandkilling people with home-made weapons. Now, it’s time for a change of pace, as we look at the new game’s crafting abilities, that let you harness the fruits of the landscapes, and then kill people with them. The jungle will become Lara’s arsenal inShadow of the Tomb Raider,and various plants and creatures can be harvested for the tools needed to take on the dangerous dudes who get in Ms....

Weird production error Yesterday, Klei Entertainment released theDon’t StarveMegapack to retail outlets for PS4 and Xbox One. The compilation was supposed to containDon’t Starve, it’s DLC andDon’t Starve Together, but something went wrong. Some users on the official Klei forums reported that their PS4 discs are missing the original game and DLC, making it a really expensive way to get the multiplayer follow-up. That was not the intention. It seems something went wrong with the production of the discs, as even Klei wasn’t aware of the issue until reports came in....

We’ve been getting small glimpses of it up until now (including theart style, possiblecover art, andachievements), but now the folks over atOuterhaven Productionscaught Microsoft uploading the video just a little too soon. They snatched it up, and you’re able to watch it below. The video quality isn’t great, but I can already see that bizarre, delicious Platinum touch....

AsDestiny 2: Episode 2 – Revenant‘s Act 1 unfoldswith questionable gusto, it seems that game content problems aren’t the only issue Bungie is currently facing. Notably, there’s a new lawsuit cooking, alleging that Bungie’s writers had stolen the concept of Year 1’s (now sunset) Red War campaign. Specifically, the word of the lawsuit was first brought to light byThe Game Post’s Zuhaad Ali. The legal dispute was filed earlier this month by author Kelsey Martineau in Louisiana, alleging that many of the concepts and characters from Red War were “directly” taken from one of their science-fiction short stories....

The Splatana looks pretty sick The Nintendo Treehouse went live today with a special stream highlighting two upcoming Switch games. First up wasSplatoon 3, which got a big showcase of not just its single-player campaign, but some of its new weapons. The Treehouse team set about tackling some levels inSplatoon 3that were largely spoiler-free, outside of general locale information. The first few segments are absolutely some familiarSplatoonmultiplayer. Blast some ink, jet along the course, take out the bad guys, and reach the goal....

T-E-E-N T-I-T-A-N-S Now that the currentInjustice 2roster is set, it’s apparently already time to look toward the future.
