The Dead Space remake is a faithful recreation of the 2008 sci-fi horror classic. Well, mostly faithful. EA Motive has seized the opportunity to improve on the original, and so some sequences play out differently than you remember. An early example is the moment in which protagonist Isaac Clarke watches a corpse transform into a necromorph for the first time.
To find out how the new version of this sequence was created, we spoke to several members of the Dead Space team to explore their roles in bringing the moment to life. As with every individual moment in every video game, the final result is the product of people working together. This IGN First video reveals how multiple people across several different departments combined their...
Blizzard has announced that Chris Metzen, a veteran Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo designer, has returned to the company as a creative advisor after several years away.
In a post on the World of Warcraft website, Warcraft general manager John Hight said “It is with great joy that I announce Chris Metzen has joined the Warcraft Leadership Team as Creative Advisor. Chris’s focus initially will be on World of Warcraft, then his work will expand to other projects across this growing franchise.
“Chris was one of the original team members working on the Warcraft universe back when it began in 1994, and we are so happy to be reuniting him with the world he helped create.”
Metzen left Blizzard in 2016 after an almost 23-year career with...
Guerrilla has confirmed that it is working on a multiplayer game set in the Horizon universe, and that it will feature a brand new cast of characters and a new art style.
In a job advertisement post on Twitter, the Amsterdam-based studio revealed that “a new internal team is developing a separate Online Project set in Horizon’s universe.”
“Featuring a new cast of characters and a unique stylized look, friends will be able to explore the majestic milds of Horizon together,” it said.
A rumour suggesting a multiplayer Horizon game surfaced earlier this year, but this is the first time that Guerrilla has confirmed such plans for the machine-hunting series.
The job listings provide a little more context. The narrative designer for the...

They say that tragedy + time = comedy, but in gaming the real tragedy is the amount of time we have to wait between quality comedy games. Thankfully, in the opening moments of High on Life, as my talking gun belittlingly whispered to me that I was doing a great job as I shot dancing aliens in the face, I got the feeling I’d struck gold. While it has bugs and performance hitches and occasionally frolics in unimpressive toilet humor, it largely succeeds at being the type of absurd space satire I’ve always wanted. Whether I was chatting with my shotgun about the merits of science and formulas, covering myself in alien poop to sneak into a secure facility, or inexplicably watching a full live-action movie from the ‘90s on nearby television...
Hideo Kojima's Kojima Productions has partnered with Barbarian executive producer Alex Lebovici's Hammerstone Studios to develop and produce a movie based on Death Stranding.
As reported by Deadline, the film is being fully financed by Hammerstone Studios and Kojima and Lebovici will serve as producers on the project. Kojima Productions US and Allan Ungar will take on the role of executive producers.
“I couldn’t be more excited about this new partnership with Hammerstone Studios,” said Kojima. “This is a pivotal moment for the franchise and I’m really looking forward to collaborating with them in bringing DEATH STRANDING to the big screen.”
“We are thrilled and honored to have the opportunity to partner with brilliant and iconic...
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's next-gen update includes a bizarre Easter Egg relating to Cyberpunk 2077's biggest mystery.
YouTuber xLetalis, who has discovered just about every other Easter Egg and secret hidden within The Witcher 3, posted a new video that outlines how to uncover the mystery and how it relates to a Cyberpunk 2077 secret that still has players scrambled more than two years after the game launched.
The mystery - known as FF:06:B5 - revolves around a complicated set of numbers that appear within Cyberpunk's Night City. This particular number kicks things off as it's found on a statue worshipped by monks, and later connects to a handful of other numbers hidden throughout the city.
CD Projekt Red has now seemingly...
Sony has unveiled five Japanese-developed games including The Tale of Onogoro and Fantasvision 202X coming to the PlayStation VR2 at launch.
Revealed on the PlayStation Blog, the games are the latest to join the PS VR2's launch line-up on February 22. The Tale of Onogoro is a cooperative action game that sees the player join forces with Hal, a shrine maiden who embarks on a journey to stop the five raging Kami living on Onogori Island. Teamwork is essential as the player must solve riddles and battle with Hal while sharing health.
Fantavision 202X is a remake of the original PlayStation 2 game, bringing back the bright and colourful firework-themed puzzles in the world of virtual reality. Also coming on launch day is Altair Breaker...
Resident Evil Village's virtual reality mode will arrive as free DLC on February 22, the same day as the PlayStation VR2 launches.
Anyone that owns the original version of Resident Evil Village on PlayStation 5 will therefore be able to download and play the update for free if they also own the PS VR2.
The VR mode was first announced in June and will support the entire campaign of Resident Evil Village. "A deeper and more captivating adventure awaits with PlayStation VR2, as Ethan Winters’ journey takes full advantage of the headset’s advanced features," reads Capcom's official synopsis.
"VR Mode utilizes the 4K HDR display, eye tracking, and 3D audio to make Resident Evil Village more realistic and intense than ever.

CD Projekt Red is back to over-delivering. Though its player trust took a hit following the turbulent launch of Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s free next-gen update is a return to form, with the effort put into improving an already amazing game signalling good things for the series’ future.
What could’ve been a simple PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series port with spruced up graphics and a $20 price tag instead became a self-reflective mission for CD Projekt Red, as the developer went back to the drawing board to truly try and improve The Witcher 3. Anyone who bought the physical editions of The Witcher 2 or 3 in the past will remember the bundle of extra goodies they came with (such as soundtrack CDs and maps), and CD Projekt Red...
High on Life has arrived, and it closes out Xbox Game Pass's 2022 on a high note! We rave about Justin Roiland's comedy-FPS and discuss what we love about it.

When it comes to VR survival horror games, you can’t get much better than a nice handful of walker guts to make your mornings pass a bit more smoothly. At least, that’s how things work in this post-apocalyptic version of New Orleans, which serves as the setting for 2020’s exceptional The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners and its brand-new sequel, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Chapter 2: Retribution. That’s a mouthful of a name, pun intended, and yet it’s less of a sequel in practice and more a perfectly serviceable standalone expansion to the original. Rather, it would be, if not for a series of sizeable and often game-breaking bugs that – when combined with the struggling computational power of the Meta Quest 2 – frequently make...

Developer CD Projekt Red just pushed its next-gen update live for The Witcher 3, but the upgrade seems to be doing a bit more harm than good for some PC players.
After today's free next-gen update, PC players are reporting significant frame rate drops and bizarre texture and model rendering throughout The Witcher 3. Posts over on The Witcher subreddit commonly reference hardware chugging along, but it doesn't seem like Geralt's adventure is simply fixed by expensive upgrades—plenty of users with high-end graphics cards report the same issues.
Some frame rate woes include drops below 60fps on cards from NVIDIA's 30 Series, noting performance pre-update outpaced The Witcher 3's latest version. Those complaints appear relatively...
The library of games that you can play while sitting in a parked motor vehicle just expanded massively, as Tesla Model X and S now have full Steam integration.
In a tweet yesterday from the official Tesla account, we saw Cyberpunk 2077 running on a Tesla, as well as a user browsing the Steam library via a touchscreen. Release notes offer further details, suggesting that any game that's been verified for a Steam Deck will work on Tesla, and you can use cloud synchronization to pick up where you left off on other devices. That means there are over 6000 games compatible.
Previously, Tesla has integrated games like 1991's Sonic the Hedghog, various classic Atari games, and Cuphead into Teslas, but it's been teasing more powerful games...
A new gameplay showcase has highlighted a number of new features in Hogwarts Legacy, including flying around the castle, customizing the Room of Requirement, and murdering other people with the killing curse.
The first segment of gameplay shows the extent of flight on both a broom and a hippogriff, which can be used to travel outside of Hogwarts to other villages and places where quests might be available.
We also see the seasons change during this section. Later in the showcase, we get an in-depth look at the customization of gear, magical creatures, and the Room of Requirement, a space that can be customized through conjuration spells obtainable through gameplay.
But maybe the wildest part of the showcase for those keenly aware...
The Kunio-kun series is so old and spans so many consoles that you may have stumbled across one of its games without even knowing it’s part of a connected universe of beat-’em-ups. The best-known of them – Super Dodge Ball, Double Dragon, and River City Ransom – are all separate stories revolving around how there never seems to be a deficit of faces to punch in River City. River City Girls 2 is both a sequel to the excellent 2019 beat-‘em-up and the final form of the action-RPG design that River City Ransom pioneered in the late ‘80s. It’s only marginally different from the one before it, choosing to refine systems and expand in size instead of entirely overhauling how anything works. But when you kicked so much butt the first time, why...
Prime Video has announced that it will officially order a God of War live-action series, in co-production with Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions.
Amazon’s Prime Video service says that the live-action series will be an adaptation of the Santa Monica Studios sequel series, following Kratos in the Norse realm of Midgard following his quest for vengeance in ancient Greece.
Like in the game, the series will follow Kratos as he journeys with his son to the highest peak as a final request from his late wife.
It was reported earlier this year that Prime Video was in talks with PlayStation on a potential live-action series, but today's direct-to-order announcement confirms Prime Video is serious about the adaptation...
Microsoft president and vice chairman Brad Smith has said Xbox's acquisition of Activision Blizzard is fair because PlayStation has significantly more exclusive games.
As reported by Bloomberg, Smith said during an annual shareholders meeting that Microsoft would present Sony's dominant position in the market as one reason for why its $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard should go through. The company will defend its colossal deal in court after The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced earlier in December that it would seek to block it.
"The FTC’s case is really based on a market that they’ve identified that they say has two companies and two products, Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox," Smith said.
"If you look...

Warner Bros. and Avalanche have confirmed the second Hogwarts Legacy gameplay showcase will be arriving on December 14, and it looks to give fans a brand-new look at the much-anticipated adventure that will transport players back to the beloved magical world that was first introduced in the Harry Potter books.
IGN is carrying the stream and, as usual, this watch guide will provide you with everything you need to know to watch the gameplay showcase, including when it starts, a list of places you can watch it with us, and what you can expect to see.
Hogwarts Legacy Gameplay Showcase II Start Time
The upcoming Hogwarts Legacy Gameplay Showcase II will take place on Wednesday, December 14, and will start at 10am PT/1pm ET/6pm GMT. If...
When I first saw Superfuse in action earlier this year, I was mesmerized by its chunky, absolutely bonkers superpower creation engine – and that was back when it only had one character. Now that I’ve had a chance to revisit it again with an awesome new character, the long-ranged Elementalist, I’m even more impressed. Superfuse is an action-RPG in the same vein as Diablo, but with a comic book superhero flair that pushes the limits with how much you can customize your hero’s powers. And even if they’ve simplified some of those options in this latest build, it still had me freaking out over all the completely badass stuff it let me do.
After just the first hour of dungeon-delving as the Elementalist, I was already giggling maniacally at...
The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Hogwarts Legacy have been delayed again to April 4, while the Nintendo Switch version will launch on July 25.
The game's official Twitter account posted the update (alongside the Switch date reveal, below) but didn't give a reason as to why the last-generation version had been delayed. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions of Hogwarts Legacy are unaffected and will launch as planned on February 10.
"The team is looking forward to bringing you the game and we want to deliver the best possible game experience across all platforms," the tweet said.
This marks the second delay for Hogwarts Legacy as it was originally expected to launch during the holiday period this year, before being...
Sonic frontiers has sold more than 2.5 million copies since its launch on November 6.
An official tweet from Sega (below) revealed the 2.5 million figure, which presumably takes into account units sold globally across PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, and PC platforms where the title is available.
Sega unveiled the 2023 roadmap for Sonic Frontiers earlier in November, showing that the open world action game would receive three updates throughout the year. These will bring new challenge modes, a photo mode, a new playable character, and fresh story content to the fast-paced adventure title.
Sonic Frontiers' launch didn't go entirely without issues, however, as the game suffered from significant pop-in issues when it was released...
Grand Theft Auto Online's Los Santos Drug War expansion is now available, bringing with it new story content, cars, and more.
This update, available on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series, and PC, adds six main missions to GTA Online which act as the opening chapter of a new story arc.
With the incredibly Grand Theft Auto goal of setting up an acid lab in the back of what's essentially an armoured RV, players meet with Dax and his group of "hard-partying nonconformists" called the Fooliganz.
The group is looking to dominate the Blaine County drug trade, and it's the players job to get them there. Participating in these new missions will earn players double currency and RP rewards until December 22.

The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series has already launched on Steam and mobile devices, but it looks like the collection may be on its way to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.
On Reddit, u/cefaluu shared screenshots from the ESRB's website highlighting listings for Final Fantasy one through six that add Nintendo Switch and PS4 to platform options. The original description for Final Fantasy 6 uploaded by Wario64 on Twitter only shows Windows PC.
Since the original Reddit post, it looks like the ESRB may have removed both consoles from all of the original Final Fantasy listings. As of IGN's review of the ESRB website, =all']searches for games like Final Fantasy 4 only yield results for versions of the RPG already out.
Regardless...
Microsoft has been making some big promises lately as it works to encourage regulators to permit its $69 billion acquistion of Activision Blizzard. Among those promises was a deal offered to Sony pledging that Call of Duty would remain available on PlayStation consoles for ten years - a deal that reportedly also includes PlayStation Plus rights.
As reported by Bloomberg, the rights to sell the title via Sony's PlayStation game subscription service were promised alongside Microsoft's previously-stated offer to Sony for ten years of Call of Duty on Sony hardware if the Activision Blizzard cquisition went through. Sony has yet to accept the offer, and has continued to raise concerns with the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)...
Sony suggests that players have at least 32GB of RAM when playing Returnal on PC, even though the minimum is 16GB.
First spotted by Wccftech, some of the specifications for Returnal’s PC port were posted on the game’s Steam page, including a hefty recommendation of at least 32GB of RAM. That's significantly more than even intensive games like Microsoft Flight Simulator, Elden Ring, and Cyberpunk 2077.
Players will need a minimum processor of Intel Core i5-6400 or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X, and at least an Nvidia GeForce GTZ 1060 or AMD Radeon RX580. The game itself will take up 60GB of storage space.
As for the other recommended specifications, the game suggests players have an Intel i7-8700 or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X for their processor and an...
