Phantom Blade Zero Fixes The Struggle That Might Be Keeping You Away From Soulslikes
There's a lot to love about soulslike games, but one of the things in the negative columns for a lot of players is how much time they can suck up. And while Phantom Blade Zero is an action-RPG that's not quite a soulslike, it's similar enough that some players might look at its super-fast combat and exceedingly tough boss battles and decide to take a pass.But if you're the kind of person who is souls-curious or looking for a soulslike game with a little less commitment, Phantom Blade Zero might -
86-year-old singer in GTA 6 has no idea what Grand Theft Auto is: "The show is a game show?"
My favorite part of every Grand Theft Auto game is discovering Rockstar's carefully curated music selection, and from what we've heard so far the GTA 6 soundtrack is fully packed with earworms. I'm a classic rock guy, and ever since the extended look dropped I've had Cliff Richard's Devil Woman playing on repeat. Despite the new wave of attention pointed at his music, however, Richard himself apparently still doesn't know what GTA 6 actually is."I was told this happened!" Richard recently told T -
Alien Isolation 2's Xenomorph will "hunt you more aggressively," says lead dev
2014's Alien: Isolation remains one of the scariest, most anxiety inducing games I've ever played, in large part because of its intelligent, highly adaptive Xenomorph, which pursues you aggressively and relentlessly in the cramped corridors of the main campaign. The thought of an even smarter, more aggressive stalker in Alien: Isolation 2 has haunted me since the sequel was announced a few months back, and now that assumption has been explicitly confirmed in detail by some of the lead developers -
Can anyone overthrow Steam? "As long as Valve is independent," analyst says it looks impossible
Recent moves from Epic Games, comments from its ever-chatty CEO Tim Sweeney, and scrutiny of Valve's handling of AI-reliant games has left many people revisiting a timeless question in PC gaming: can anyone, anywhere, ever beat Steam at its own game? I brought this question to Emmanuel Rosier, director of market intelligence at research and analyst firm Newzoo. In the past few weeks, we've seen more developers dissect and debate Valve's chokehold on PC gaming – how Valve got to this position, -
Phantom Blade Zero is the 20-year culmination of a $7 indie RPG
While it might feel like Phantom Blade Zero and developer S-Game sprang up out of nowhere, the new action game's legacy stretches back decades – all the way to an indie game built in RPG Maker as a hobby. We haven't even hit the Phantom Blade Zero release time and analysts suspect that it's already sailed past 1 million copies sold, so it's safe to say this is a major glow-up."Twenty years ago, while I was still a student, I completed my first indie game, Rainblood: Town of Death," creative di -
Michael C. Hall says Dexter is "vulnerable" to Uma Thurman's hitwoman in Resurrection season 2
Michael C. Hall and Uma Thurman's respective killers have quite the interesting relationship in Dexter: Resurrection season 2."Dexter's never more vulnerable than when he's with someone who is exploiting a need that he doesn't even sort of consciously recognize he has," Hall tells GamesRadar+ at NYCC. "And I think in this season he's experiencing a need to be appreciated, and Charley appears and seems to have a sort of appreciation for and respect for what he's done and what he does. "And that m -
Blizzard wants you to play Wow Forever "wherever you want, and at some point on whatever you want"
World of Warcraft: Forever is a brand new entry point to the 22-year old, beloved MMORPG, but it skipping Xbox despite Microsoft's ownership of the studio, not to mention seamless game pad support, feels like a missed opportunity.We raised this in a recent conversation with Blizzard for our World of Warcraft: Forever Big Preview, and the answer we got seems to strongly suggest the studio has console plans for its newest MMO. "Play it wherever you want, and at some point on whatever you want," se -
GTA 6 Online Could Be Released In Early 2027, Bank Says
Take-Two's biggest release ever, GTA 6, is coming up in November, but the company's share price continues to drop. It's down 21% this year and has now dipped under $200 this week after reaching a 52-week high of $265.
In short, the stock is struggling, but one big bank says it sees a lot of upside, in part because Rockstar is expected to release a new version of GTA Online--potentially in the first quarter of 2027--that could generate loads of money."We recommend being long $TTWO through the GTA -

"AAA publishers are abusing Early Access," RPG dev says
Denis Dyack – founder of Silicon Knights and current CEO of Apocalypse Studios – says that AAA publishers' use of Early Access is shifting player expectations and making it harder for independent teams. Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, Dyack says that one of the big challenges of the current gaming landscape is that anyone, even "giant publishers with insane amounts of money, manpower, and resources," are able to use Early Access programs. Specifically, he cites developers releasing a "polishe -
Working PS4 dashboard ported to Roblox alongside games like Undertale
In news I can't imagine Sony will be pleased about, the PS4 dashboard – complete with a number of working games – has now been ported to Roblox, and even an apparent takedown hasn't been enough to stop it.As highlighted by content creator KreekCraft, the "PlayStation Experience" Roblox game offered exactly what its name suggested, with a full boot-up screen and working home menu containing a number of playable games, including Five Nights at Freddy's, Undertale, The Simpsons Hit & Run, a -
Valve says devs can fight AI clones on Steam by not "relying on a single mechanic" easily copied
Amid reports that developers putting their games on Steam have received extortion emails from generative AI users seeking protection payments by threatening to release cloned games, Valve business team members advised devs to prioritize depth of originality to fight copycats and encouraged them to contact other authorities in extreme cases. Valve businessmen Tom Giardino and Marc Wilkinson attended a recent Korean games event, as Inven Global reports. (A disclaimer on the outlet's story reads: " -
Fortnite Is About To Sell Half An Elle Fanning In The Item Shop
Fortnite's very last new collaboration for this year's Halloween season is with Predator: Badlands, and it includes the first Predator skin that's ever been available outside the permanently locked Chapter 2 Season 5 battle pass. But the main attraction in this set may actually be the back bling, which is the top half of Thia, the Weyland-Yutani android, played by Elle Fanning, who spends most of the movie strapped to the protagonist's back. The whole Predator: Badlands set hits the Fortnite sho -
Nearly 1 in 3 gamers plan to buy GTA 6 in US, analyst says: "A rare cultural and commercial moment"
The GTA 6 release is quickly approaching, and it's set to be one of the biggest video game releases of all time – so big, in fact, that analysts say nearly one in three gamers is looking to indulge in Rockstar's long-awaited sixth Grand Theft Auto entry.That's a hefty figure… one that comes straight from global market research and consumer behavior advisor Circana, along with commentary from veteran analyst and company lead Mat Piscatella.
To be more precise, it's 29% – a good 29% of gamer -
WoW: Forever Content Updates Will Come Slower Than You Might Expect
Developer Blizzard's new version of its flagship MMORPG, World of Warcraft: Forever, will receive content updates "every four months," avoiding modern WoW's somewhat controversial eight-week patch cycle.In an interview with IGN, Forever principal game designer Kris Zierhut revealed the content schedule plan and explained Blizzard's reasoning. He said WoW Classic's Season of Discovery received updates "way too fast," every8-10 weeks.
Since the launch of WoW's Dragonflight expansion in 2022, an ei -
Sleeping Dogs Movie Director Explains Why The Adaptation Is Taking So Long
Like many video game movies, Sleeping Dogs seems stuck in development hell. Even though it looked like progress on this adaptation of the cult-classic action game was once again picking up when Shang-Chi star Simu Liu started teasing new developments last year, and Timo Tjahjanto (Nobody 2) was later announced as the director, there's been little word since on whether the film will ever get off the ground. What's taking so long? According to Tjahjanto, the slow approach is by design."Trust me -

8 Reasons why WoW Forever is ensuring the iconic MMO remains immovable
I loved my dozens of hours hands-on with World of Warcraft Forever so much that I'm itching to dive into the full game. As a long term World of Warcraft veteran (a polite way of calling myself old), I've seen the game go through a lot of changes and iterations, and I'm confident WoW: Forever is shaping up to be the best new version yet. It feels good to return to something so familiar yet somehow so fresh.Right now, World of Warcraft's community is split between the 'main' experience (also known -

Resident Evil's next 10 years may cap off the whole storyline, producer says
Resident Evil series executive producer Jun Takeuchi says the series' overarching storyline could end within the next 10 years. Speaking to Yahoo Japan (via machine translation), Takeuchi notes that with the upcoming Resident Evil Veronica, he thinks players will understand just how significant the game is to the plot of the series, as opposed to dismissing it as a side story. This is in part due to some of the altered parts of the story featured in the remake; and while the Resident Evil remake -
MW4 Nuke killstreak requirements
Obtaining the MW4 Nuke killstreak is one of the game's more challenging goals, as it has been in series games before this one. It's a great way to show off your skills to both your team and opponents, and each year the hardiest of players fight to get the world's first nuke.While that claim may have long gone for 2026's Modern Warfare 4, you can still work towards getting unlocking the nuke killstreak yourself, and the first step to that is knowing the conditions you actually have to meet.

Nintendo’s Indie World Presentation Was Pretty Packed For A Short Show

If GTA 6 Beats Football On Thanksgiving, That’s A Win, EA Founder Says
Rockstar's GTA 6 is expected to be a giant success commercially, but just how big does the game need to be to actually be successful following a decade of development and perhaps one of the biggest development budgets ever? We don't know, because Take-Two doesn't disclose that kind of information, but EA founder Bing Gordon has his own thoughts.On the Sozzi Unleashed show, Gordon said it would be "mind-blowing" if GTA 6 can reach 75 million copies sold. How did he arrive at that number? Gordon s -

After 10 years, cozy RPG Witchbrook finally gets a release date – and PS5 fans will no longer be missing out at launch
There's some good news and some bad news for Witchbrook fans today. Chucklefish's long-awaited magical school RPG finally has a release date set for next January… but that's also a delay from what was previously announced. Witchbrook – a cozy life sim with Stardew Valley-esque visuals set in a seaside town with a magical college – was first teased over 10 years ago, if you can believe it, but it's felt tantalizingly close for the last couple of years thanks to some unfortunate delays.

Here’s Why State Of Decay 3 Has Taken 6 Years To Develop So Far
State of Decay 3 made an impact at the 2020 Xbox Games Showcase with a slick trailer that teased features that wouldn't make the final cut, like undead deer and frigid landscapes. Six years later, things have changed at developer Undead Labs as it navigates life after Xbox and a shift in gameplay design that led the studio to ditch ideas to make State of Decay 3 an MMO.Undead Labs founder Jeff Strain planned to make the threequel far bigger than its predecessors, and after his departure in 2019, -
