• Former Last of Us dev is glad "someone is taking big risks" when it comes to Intergalactic

  09-10-2026 12:55 via gamesradar.com
  
  It can be difficult to enjoy forms of art when you know too much about the process. Once you've seen behind the curtain, it's hard to go back to just being a fan. A former developer from Naughty Dog had the same struggle for a while, but now he's able to appreciate the studio's output as an audience-member again, making him quite excited for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.Speaking on Kiwi Talkz (below), Matt Radford, an ex-senior VFX artist who worked on The Last of Us and Uncharted 4, discu

• Where to find Insulation Roll in Arc Raiders

  12-10-2026 19:14 via gamesradar.com
  
  Insulation Roll in Arc Raiders is a new crafting resource material added as part of the Frozen Trail update, and while it has no use on its own terms, it's used for high level crafting recipes and materials. However, as an Epic-level item with no clear location to search in its description, finding Insulation Roll isn't easy to do. Fortunately having located it myself, I'll lay out where to look in Arc Raiders to find it.Arc Raiders Insulation Roll locations(Image credit: Embark)I found an Insul

• SNL's Zelda Ocarina of Time vs GTA 6 sketch likely went down fine at Nintendo say ex-marketing leads

  12-10-2026 19:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  Saturday Night Live may have seemingly tried (and failed) to poke fun at The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake in a recent sketch pitting it against GTA 6, but former Nintendo marketing leads Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang reckon that the house of Mario would actually have had a "pretty positive reaction" to it internally. The SNL sketch from earlier in the month saw two people dressed as Link and GTA 6's Jason, respectively, each trying to one-up the other by bragging about what their games ha

• I was wary of D&D Star Wars, but it looking so much like Rogue One gives me hope

  12-10-2026 18:20 via gamesradar.com
  
  To be completely honest with you, I was wary when D&D Star Wars got announced. Dungeons & Dragons isn't a natural fit for many reasons (its class and magic systems need gutting to work with a galaxy far, far away), and I was worried its existence meant a beloved RPG is dead. But then we got our first glimpse of the project, and it's giving big Andor energy. That took me by surprise, and it's enough to make me a believer. OK, not to the degree Han was in Force Awakens ("It's true, all of

• Sorry, Street Fighter Movie, But Mondo Just Won The Poster Fight

  12-10-2026 18:00 via gamespot.com
  
  The new Street Fighter movie hits theaters in just a few days, and if you're a fan of the Capcom series, you might be tempted to celebrate with some new poster art on your wall. While the official poster for that movie is fine, Mondo's new Street Fighter 2 poster is much better, striking, and it doesn't feature a gallery of floating heads--just one, in fact, being punched off the beefy shoulders of a Shadaloo enforcer. If you're wondering what that piece of fine art looks like, GameSpot can

• Former PlayStation boss apparently had a bold strategy for handling Sony execs – he ignored them

  12-10-2026 17:06 via gamesradar.com
  
  Being part of a corporate structure can be frustrating, because there's always someone else to answer to. When it came to leading PlayStation, one of the former CEOs of the console juggernaut took to just shrugging off orders from Sony brass if necessary.Kaz Hirai, who oversaw Sony Computer Entertainment from 2007 to 2012, discussed his tenure in that position with Takaya Awata, CEO of Toridoll Holdings, in a conversation published by Nikkei Xtrend.

"There is a charm and a genuineness and a warmth to him that really resonates with audiences. And he's so authentic as a person and his performances are so authentic, and he really embodies that character in a way that's straight

• I Ranked Video Game Houses By How Much I’d Actually Want To Live In Them

  12-10-2026 17:01 via gamespot.com
  
  I've spent years judging games on things like combat, story, graphics, or how satisfying their open worlds are. But something occurred to me recently--I've not put enough thought into where exactly I would live if I had to move into one of these games.Sure, legendary weapons are nice, and okay, fine, maybe I should be concerned about the fate of the world. If there's an ancient evil force trying to destroy civilization, I guess I could take a look at it. But I'm an adult, and so I have adult con

  The former Burnout developers behind Star Wars: Galactic Racer reckon it's important to challenge players, because they're going to tune out otherwise.Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a tough game. Intentionally so, with Fuse Games CEO Matt Webster saying "we are asking way more out of players" this time around compared to the Burnout games that a majority of the team used to develop, because "modern gamers can manage a greater amount of cognitive load."

• Nintendo Says It Has No Plans To Ditch Physical Games Yet

  Unlike Sony, which has decided to move toward a digital-only game marketplace starting in 2028, Nintendo is sticking to an "agnostic" approach for the Switch 2 console. In a new interview, Nintendo's VP and general manager for Latin America, Bill van Zyll, said the company will still offer both physical and digital versions of games to meet consumer demand."Historically, we’ve been very agnostic," van Zyll said to YouTuber Coelho no Japão.

• Baki’s Yujiro Hanma Is About To Turn Tekken 8 Into A Full-Blown Muscle Appreciation Simulator

  Bandai Namco has dropped a new trailer for Tekken 8, and while this one is mostly focused on everyone's favorite Kangaroo, Roger, it also included a brief tease of one of the most ridiculous characters in anime: Yujiro Hanma. The sneak peek at the Gigachad of fighting anime is quick, but it does show off the character's infamously toothy grin and morning-splits flexibility that would make Jean-Claude Van Damme jealous.While there's no release date yet for when Hanma will be a

• Valor Mortis review: "First-person Souslike parrying feels clutch, but I need more for this to truly stand out"

  12-10-2026 15:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  Valor Mortis is an easy game to like, and an even easier game to fantasize about kicking down a flight of stairs. It's a perfectly functional Soulslike based around swordplay and parrying, which is about as novel in 2026 as having a pause screen. It's also got terrible scripted parkour sequences that will make you wish you could snap off the lead character's legs. It even has a frikkin' sewer level. Yet, it keeps nearly winning me back. Its combat can be exhilarating, the pulpy writing charming,

• Valor Mortis Is A First-Person Soulslike That Tries Too Much

  12-10-2026 15:00 via gamespot.com
  
  The soulslike genre has been around long enough now that it's easy to pick out its most recognizable traits. Whether it's managing stamina in combat, the risk of losing progression with each death, health items and enemies that respawn when you reach a bonfire, lantern, or some other recognizable checkpoint; all of the best in the genre adapt these in their own distinct ways. Valor Mortis is no different, but attempts to stand out through its shift in perspective. By moving the action to a
