• Modder who first put Thomas the Tank Engine into Skyrim flips the bird at the lawyers, does it again in Morrowind: "I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people"

  25-11-2025 23:53 via gamesradar.com
  
  It went from a meme to an inevitability: if a game can be modded, sooner or later somebody's going to add Thomas the Tank Engine to it. The modder who originally brought Thomas's horrifying visage to Skyrim hasn't exactly endeared himself to Mattel, the toy company that now owns the rights to the brand, and with a new Morrowind mod he's effectively daring lawyers to come after him."I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine," as modder Kevin "Trainwiz" Brock says in a Blu

  25-11-2025 22:59 via gamesradar.com
  
  Since launch, Arc Raiders players have debated whether it's worth it to complete a resource-intensive Expedition project just to reset your Raider's progress and skill tree in exchange for a clean start boosted by extra stash space and skill points, with the skill point payout tied to the value of your stash at the time of your reset.The trouble is, we still don't know how much loot you need to pile away in order to meet that skill point threshold, because neither developer Embark nor Arc Raider

• After 11 grueling years and 6 different versions of the game, management sim devs decide they've finally made something that doesn't suck: Tavern Keeper "wasn't fun for ages"

  25-11-2025 22:53 via gamesradar.com
  
  It's incredible that hectic management sims like Greenheart Games' new Tavern Keeper use game loops that can make even dastardly procrastinators like me excited to do chores. It might be a miracle, or just a terrifying act of psychology, but it's definitely not easy to turn dread into comfort, says Greenheart co-founder Patrick Klug.Klug tells PC Gamer that cutesy medieval fantasy Tavern Keeper wasn't really enjoyable to play in "at least" its first seven years of development.

  Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Gustave voice actor, Daredevil star, and man who does not own a PS5 Charlie Cox has only a vague idea of the French JRPG's tremendous success. Instead of giving him so much credit for bringing Gustave to life, he'd rather you congratulate performance capture actor Maxence Cazorla.

  A modder has managed to run PlayStation classic Spyro The Dragon on N64 hardware. Just don't expect a full version to be released any time soon.After one modder committed the sin of putting Super Mario 64 onto the PS1, the '90s console wars are back in full force. And in retaliation for this major betrayal, the N64 faction have taken one of PlayStation's icons for their own.

  PlayStation Black Friday deals are fully underway. While it's cool to see $100 off consoles and bundles, if you already have a PS5 and don't intend to buy a second, it's this year's game deals that will be far more enticing. Fortunately for you, there are plenty of them.Physical games on the PS5 get cheaper over time regardless of any big sales event, but it's still a pretty sight to spot brand-new 2025 releases like the Death Stranding 2 On the Beach down to just $49.97 at Amazon, and newer tit

  Sandbox game Hytale was only surviving until now, bruised badly by cancellation and studio closure before it recently got back in the warm hands of its creators at Hypixel.

• "I will not disappoint you": Lies of P director promises "the most fun" as Neowiz prepares a sequel to one of the best Soulslikes ever made, says the Overture DLC was treated "almost as a sequel" anyway

  25-11-2025 17:59 via gamesradar.com
  
  Lies of P Overture may be an award-winning expansion, but the game's director promises that the studio's next project will be on a whole other level.I don't think it's a stretch to say that FromSoftware owns the Soulslike genre, given it basically created it. However, when it comes to the many challengers to the Soulslike throne, I'd say Lies of P is the game that came the closest to unseating the studio. The original game – while pretty hyped up ahead of time for its Bloodborne-esque look

  Upcoming RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker has a lot going for it, what with it being directed by Konrad Tomaskiewicz, the man who led development on The Witcher 3.

  One Battlefield 6 player has maxed out what is undoubtedly the worst vehicle in the game for no reason other than to flex it.Battlefield 6's worst vehicle is undoubtedly the Light Ground Transport (LGT), a jeep that offers no protection to the soldiers riding inside. Despite its mounted machine gun being a menace to anyone who appears in its sights, chances are that won't ever be a problem, as whoever decides to go onto that machine gun will likely have already been blown to pieces.

  As the great Rage Against the Machine lyric goes, "We don't need the key, we’ll break in."
