On October 29, 2024, Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare made their PC debut – a full 14 years after Rockstar’s Wild West epic debuted on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2010. Red Dead Redemption and its renowned zombie-horror companion tale, Undead Nightmare, will be available for PC on October 29. This will allow players to experience John Marston’s cherished journey in breathtaking, new detail for the first time in its illustrious legacy, according to Rockstar. Red Dead Redemption’s PC port, created by Double Eleven (who also worked on the 2023 PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch versions), adds…
Remakes of video games are not always created evenly. There are many more superficial remakes, such as 2018’s Shadows of the Colossus or 2020’s Destroy All Humans, for each truly revolutionary Final Fantasy VII Remake or Metroid: Zero Mission! They essentially transfer all of the original content onto a new, more aesthetically pleasing game engine without significantly altering the gameplay. Until Dawn strongly belongs to the latter kind. Its eerie snowy mountain backdrop and colorful cast of lustful youngsters have never looked better, but its intense, life-or-death decision-based gameplay is essentially the same as what I recall from the 2015…
In video games, boxing fans have been left waiting far too long for a legitimate competitor to emerge. Punch-Out pioneered this genre, while Fight Night Champion is the final real heavyweight, having raised the standard with its significant emphasis on realism more than ten years ago in 2010. Though there is some disagreement on the matter, it is evident that developer Steel City Interactive’s Undisputed needs to put in a little more time on the speed bag before it can put an end to this specific dispute. Undisputed is the game that looks to unseat the king. Undisputed deserves praise…
What lessons can we draw from the fiction we love the most? Do they only serve as a way to have fun and escape reality, or can they make a difference in our lives? I have played almost every role-playing game produced by Atlus, therefore the answer to your last query is definitely “yes.” Metaphor: ReFantazio explores these issues via the prism of a politically charged fantasy role-playing game, addressing them in both concrete and abstract ways, demonstrating the true power of the narratives that video games can convey. Even if it seems familiar at moments, it also explores uncharted…
Since Diablo 4 was one of my favorite games of the previous year, I had great expectations for Vessel of Hatred, the first expansion of Blizzard’s evil role-playing game. Even though there is not as much meat on the bones as I would hoped, this action-packed quest through the mud and mire of Nahantu’s forests and swamps is exactly what the plague doctor ordered. The incomplete tale, short campaign, and meager endgame material make this expansion feel more like a prelude than an expansion. However, the enhancements to the quality of life, modifications to the meta, first raid activity, and…
On October 1, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will feature Zoe Lawton, a supervillain also known as Lawless, daughter of Deadshot, added by Rocksteady. In an X/Twitter post, the studio revealed the new character along with the news that Season 3 premieres that day. Lawless, the daughter of Deadshot, has long been mentioned in the narrative of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, but her formal playability has only recently been verified. Nevertheless, early this year’s sources indicated she might finally be included in the game. Given the difficult circumstances surrounding Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, fans will…
