• Ex-Dragon Age lead admits Origins' Fade sequence is "filler" and "not very good content"

  24-09-2026 20:40 via gamesradar.com
  
  If you took a survey of every Dragon Age: Origins player ever, I'd imagine most of them wouldn't have the most positive impression of the game's Fade sequence, which whisks you off to a bizarre alternate dimension separated from the rest of your party. Naturally, there will always be Fade apologists who argue the tonal and mechanical shift keeps things fresh, but there seems to be a general consensus that it wasn't the best use of resources, and now one of the most foremost authorities on the ga

Hotfix 1.3.3 is primarily focused on adjusting enemy health pools and Dylan's overall strength, and once it's installed, you can expect the parautilitarian to have an easier time making enemies falter."We strongly believe these changes will improve the gameplay feel and flow while still providing a challenge," developer Remedy Entertainment wrote in the hotfix

  24-09-2026 18:59 via gamespot.com
  
  Modern Warfare 4 will finally give players control over which skins they see in Call of Duty, starting when the game integrates with Warzone later this year. This will allow players to choose to keep the immersion of Modern Warfare 4 in battle royale, while others can continue to use their outlandish skins from previous seasons. The ability to toggle operator skins on and off has been a highly requested feature, especially after Beavis And Butt-Head operators were added in Black Ops 6, but

• GTA 6's $400 collectible spoon is actually a reference to another, far more expensive GTA spoon

  24-09-2026 18:42 via gamesradar.com
  
  You may have noticed Rockstar is shilling a GTA 6 Collector's Box at the moment. The contents include a double-sided poster, a statue of Macca the Gator, and the greatest prize of all, a Vice City-emblazoned spoon.A swizzle spoon to be exact, the kind typically found in cocktail bars and pubs for mixing drinks. Decidedly appropriate for anyone preparing to jaunt around Leonida for hours and hours. It's be more charming if it wasn't part of a collection that costs $399.99, but that's another disc

• Control Resonant patch fixes issues, but causes headache for PC players who now have to reinstall

  Remedy has released a new patch for Control Resonant to address some early criticism for the game, which is good news if you don't mind downloading the entire game again on Steam. Control Resonant review scores have been generally positive, but there were a number of criticisms that came up frequently in reviews, with those being the focus of discussion ahead of its launch today. One such thing is the strength of protagonist Dylan, or just the general health of enemies making things feel a bit d

• Where to find all the infusion drugs in Silent Hill Townfall

  24-09-2026 18:27 via gamesradar.com
  
  Trying to find the infusion drugs in Silent Hill Townfall can be a bit of an ordeal, as the Tensobromide, Hydroxalene, and Dextracyclate are scattered through a lengthy, stealth heavy section where you can't fight back. Because you don't know where to look, it involves poking into every corner to find what you need, with danger at every turn. Fortunately I've done it all already, and have the maps and routes you need to find all the drugs as quickly as possible and minimize the risks involved.Th

• In Control Resonant, It’s The Tiniest Details That Continue To Matter Most

  24-09-2026 17:58 via gamespot.com
  
  Control is one of my favorite games ever. Six years after release, one of the things that sticks with me the most is a pencil. Within your first few seconds of playing, you happen upon your first memo. It's located at a security checkpoint and outlines a number of items that are not permitted inside the government building you've just entered. These seem expected enough: laptops, weapons, various smart devices, and so on. The final two list items sound much stranger: one being No. 2 pencils

• Gamercard review

  24-09-2026 17:45 via gamesradar.com
  
  I’ve tested enough handhelds at this stage to know most device makers like to play it safe. The Gamercard isn’t remotely one of those handhelds, and that’s hardly surprising considering it shares a lineage with the very man who pioneered the microcomputer that arguably kicked off a whole gaming industry in the UK. That inventor is none other than the legendary Sir Clive Sinclair of ZX Spectrum fame, and his nephew, Grant Sinclair, is carrying the mantle within the portable cons

• Stranger Than Heaven Studio Made The Tupac Resurrection Less Weird By Not Using AI

  RGG Studio's Stranger Than Heaven is certainly living up to its title, as the decision to resurrect the late rapper Tupac Shakur as a character in the game was perceived as odd when it was first announced at Summer Game Fest. In a new update on the game, RGG Studio revealed more details about the game's cast, including a brief description of how it revived Shakur using traditional research methods. The main takeaway is that the Yakuza and Like a Dragon developer managed to avoid making the casti

  In preparation for Remedy’s upcoming third-person action-adventure Control Resonant, I began my third or fourth replay of its predecessor. Despite my love for the original Control, with its floating workers and teleporting rubber ducks, I eyerolled at the idea of tackling one particularly large boss–it’s a giant anchor that shoots clocks and I refuse to elaborate. However, Remedy added a slew of accessibility options post-launch that have made Control more comfortable

  If you're playing Control Resonant, after the tutorial finishes and you reach the Watchtower for the first time, Zoe will give you all kind of potential quests to take on, but which should you do first, and what order?

• Duskfade Makes Boss Fights Feel Poignant

  24-09-2026 17:11 via gamespot.com
  
  Duskfade passed by last month without too much notice. To the extent that it gained attention, it was for its Nomura-like character design that appeared to be aping Kingdom Hearts. And while that isn't inaccurate, it also feels like an unfair simplification. Duskfade is very little like Kingdom Hearts, more reminiscent of a PS3-era action-platformer than an action-RPG. Its gameplay is composed mostly of really satisfying platforming with occasional, merely so-so combat encounters. But what reall
