• Former Overwatch lead Jeff Kaplan has "over 5,000 hours" in Rust and calls it "the pinnacle of PvP games," but his own survival game takes cues from World of Warcraft

  31-03-2026 23:39 via gamesradar.com
  
  Jeff Kaplan loves Rust. The former Overwatch lead reckons that Rust shows the absolute best that PvP games have to offer, which is why he's logged over 5,000 hours in it. While Kaplan's love of genre is part of the inspiration behind his new survival game, The Legend of California, you won't see much influence from Rust's brutal PvP here. In fact, his work on World of Warcraft might be a more relevant point of comparison."I have always been a huge fan of the survival genre," Kaplan says in an in

  As a daily Animal Crossing player, I've been enviously watching the Pokemon Pokopia community build absolutely incredible things with the game's comparatively advanced toolset, but this latest creation has me questioning whether it's wise to give players that much freedom.We all have neighbors we don't like, and thankfully, in Animal Crossing you have relatively harmless ways of expressing that in the form of pitfall traps you can place around your island and the tried-and-true bug net, which yo

At a GDC panel discussing what he described as "golden goose" indie games, or those with significant wishlists and sales on Steam, Zukowski shared some data collected from real golden goose st

  Ahead of the release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, MeTV announced that it would air all 65 episodes of The Super Mario Bros. cartoon.

  Mario Kart World got a surprise update today adding a new Bob-omb Blast Battle Mode as well as some balance changes for the Bullet Bill power-up that make it smarter, faster, and longer-lasting. Nintendo spells out Mario Kart World's Bullet Bill buff in the patch notes for version 1.6.0.

  The god of the Xbox 360 smiled down upon a guy in Scotland this week and led him to buy a confirmed GTA 4 dev kit at a flea market, so that the rest of the world can profit by restoring all its axed content. And for this, we thank the god of the Xbox 360. Dev kit buyer Jan – who tells Kotaku he isn't even really a big GTA fan, and he only handed over "a tenner" for the damn thing – uploaded the 2007-era GTA 4 beta build he found on the console online, and fans have been quick to shak

It's not like we have this blood bond," Alcock tells Vanity Fair, explaining that the collaborative nature of film doesn't mean that actors must share those kinds of connections.

  Pokemon games are often criticized for their poor technical states these days, but the lack of refinement goes back to the series' heyday.
