Destructible scenery and environments aren't white whales in the gaming industry, but they are still uncommon enough to warrant prime spots on the feature lists of games. Many titles out there have incorporated the feature into their very identity, like Battlefield, but it's definitely one we're happy to see coming to more games - and based on a job posting, it seems like Grand Theft Auto is next in line.

Netflix Asia executive Minyoung Kim says a Squid Game videogame is being considered, THR reports. Can't say I'm shocked, since Netflix says Squid Game is on the way to being its most-watched show ever, beating The Witcher's reported viewership of 76 million.

Ubisoft has greenlit what will be its first mainline Splinter Cell game in a decade. That’s according to development sources, who told us that the title has been put into production as a means of winning back fans frustrated by recent efforts to revive the franchise in the mobile and VR spaces.

Could regular gaming breaks be the key to maximizing productivity? One of the few silver linings of the pandemic is that it has thrown into stark relief the problems with working culture that have gone unaddressed for decades.

The first-person open-world fantasy RPG was announced last year.

Hitman developer IO Interactive has released its annual report for 2020/21, reporting record-breaking profits during the last fiscal year. For the year ending March 31 2021, the company reported revenues of DKK 502 million ($78 million), a 136% increase on the DKK 212.8 million ($33 million) made the year prior.

Yesterday, I got a new PC from PowerGPU after my old one died last week. I could have repaired it, and I probably still will, but I figured it was time for an upgrade anyway. The first game I installed after I got it set up? Cyberpunk 2077. Not because I’m dying to go back and talk to Hanako for the twelfth time, but because I wanted to see how it looked on my new machine. And what I found was further evidence of how badly CDPR screwed up this launch, and how things could have gone an entirely different direction.

MetroidMetroid Dread is the first completely new 2D Metroid game to be released since Metroid Fusion in 2002, and since it’s a direct story sequel to Fusion, even the most diehard Metroid fans may need a refresher on the basics. Alternately, you might be a complete novice to Samus Aran’s world who’s planning to step into her power suit for the very first time. As a Metroid veteran who’s played every game, read all of the comic books, and watched way too many YouTube videos about Metroid lore, allow me to be your guide.

Japanese publishers and developers are increasingly pushing for worldwide releases of games, and while there are plenty of upsides to this method, some key challenges are still a major factor in the process.

Over the decades, gaming has expanded in ways people could never have imagined, but one genre that has continued to stand the test of time while still growing is the action-adventure genre.

Halo Infinite's Arena Slayer multiplayer beta has wrapped up, but the Big Team Battle test is scheduled to commence in just a few days. As such, anyone who has already downloaded the Halo Infinite beta client should keep it installed, developer 343 Industries advised players.

Since the age of 18, I’ve been living with anxiety and depression. It started when I left for University. I ignored it at first, chalking it up to homesickness. It wasn’t until I couldn’t leave my bed one morning to hand in an essay that I knew I had a problem. These days, I can manage my mental health well enough through good food, sleep, exercise, and medication, with the odd flair-up here and there. I know I’m not alone, though. During the Coronavirus pandemic, the number of U.K adults experiencing depression doubled.

If there’s one thing I want from Metroid games above all else, it’s a feeling of dread. That’s why I still admire the original NES game the most. It almost feels hostile to the player in its design. There are no maps, no health recharge stations, no modern amenities to aid you. Because of that, no matter how many energy tanks or missile packs I acquire, in Metroid, I always feel in danger. I actually feel like an intrepid bounty hunter exploring a hostile alien world that might mercilessly destroy me at any moment.

If you want to know what makes Metroid so special after all these years, consider the opening moments of Super Metroid. After narrowly escaping an exploding space station, Samus Aran descends on Zebes to investigate the ruins of the pirate base she destroyed in the first game. It’s a perfect example of Super Metroid’s minimalist storytelling, wordlessly conveying the tense anxiety of exploring the ruins of Mother Brain’s old Tourian base amid rain and crashing thunder.

We have just picked up the Diablo II: Resurrected achievement list. There are 43 achievements worth a total of 1,000 Gamerscore, none of which are secret.

I am back with another status update on raytracing in RADV. And the good news is that things are finally starting to come together. After ~9 months of on and off work we’re now having games working with raytracing. Working on first try after getting all the required functionality was Control:

The live stream is set to take place at 10pm Japan time (2pm BST / 9am ET) and will also include content from Atlus, the subsidiary responsible for the Persona and Shin Megami Tensei games. The RPG reveal could potentially be related to Sakura Wars – which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year – after a logo for the series was briefly spotted on the TGS website this month.
