To make Path of Exile 2 more rewarding…
Larian, the developer of Baldur’s Gate 3, has said that it is now totally focused on its upcoming game and has promised a “media blackout” for the foreseeable future. Larian has stated that its “whole attention” is on the next major product, even though the much-anticipated Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8 for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game is scheduled to be released this year. Swen Vincke, the head of Larian, took to Twitter this week to offer a brief reflection on the studio’s progress thus far, which has seen Baldur’s Gate 3 achieve remarkable critical and financial success. Vincke…
It can be difficult to bring these now-familiar characters and tales to life again because the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel has spawned so many versions. However, the reimagined story of politics, conflict, and diplomacy in Dynasty Warriors: Origins seemed nearly as fresh as when I initially came upon it after 60 hours of play. With more foes on screen than ever before to fully create the “1 vs. 1000” scenario, it ups the ante on battles beyond what even this series has been known for. Origins has easily become my favorite Dynasty Warriors game to date when…
It’s been a long time coming, but the Fantastic Four are finally back in the spotlight. Between the team making their Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in The Fantastic Four: First Steps this July, the One World Under Doom event shaking up the mainline comic universe as Ryan North continues his acclaimed run on the property, and NetEase’s hero shooter Marvel Rivals making the F4 the focus of Eternal Night Falls (the first post-launch season), 2025 is shaping up to be the year that Marvel’s First Family reclaims their position as one of the Marvel universe’s core pillars. However, it is…
AI buddies in PUBG and inZoi are being referred to as Co-Playable Characters (CPCs). The South Korean developer of both games, Krafton, revealed that it was collaborating with Nvidia to include these AI coworkers in each game. According to Krafton, a CPC is an AI companion that can communicate with players thanks to an on-device SLM (Small Language Model) developed using Nvidia’s Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE). Because they comprehend and react to gaming conditions in a human-like way, CPCs can communicate and work with players, unlike typical NPCs (non-player characters), the business added. According to Krafton, the language model developed…
At CES 2025, Sony unveiled an idea that would let players into the worlds of PlayStation games like The Last of Us and see, shoot, and even smell the villains. YouTube users posted footage of the Future Immersive Entertainment Concept, which depicts a big cube that participants enter, like the multi-person virtual reality experiences that are now on the market. However, this is not virtual reality because the cube is composed of extremely high-quality screens that surround the player with the game world. Players are also given “interesting sounds” and even “scent and atmospherics with interactive PlayStation game material” to…
The Fantastic Four has been added to Marvel Rivals in Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, which NetEase released. The first season’s narrative setup, in which Dracula and Doctor Doom take over New York, is shown in the video below. Fortunately, the Fantastic Four are available to assist. With 10 million players in three days and 20 million in two weeks, Marvel Rivals is a huge success for NetEase. While Sony and Microsoft do not disclose player figures, Steam provides Valve statistics for the free-to-play superhero team-based PvP shooter, released on December 6 for PC through Steam and the Epic Games…
According to Sony, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered, and The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe will be the January 2025 PlayStation Plus monthly games. Suicide Squad will be released on the PS5, Need for Speed will be released on the PS4, and Stanley Parable will be released on the PS5 and PS4, according to PlayStation.Blog. All three of these games will be accessible to PlayStation Plus subscribers on January 7. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a significant addition, particularly considering that developer Rocksteady just announced that it will stop producing new material…
Alien has more promise than any other franchise that is almost ready for a virtual reality adaptation. Who, besides Ellen Ripley, would not want to feel the excitement of being pursued by the ideal creature without having to worry about the “danger of being dismembered”? With a gripping plot, endearing characters, deadly Xenomorphs, and a masterfully designed setting that could not be mistaken for anything other than the classic Alien universe, Alien: Rogue Incursion is a commendable first attempt at providing just that. However, there is still much space for improvement in its previously planned sequel, particularly about the basic…
The Elden Ring Nightreign trailer is understandable for the first few minutes, though unexpected. Even though Elden Ring has been modified and rebuilt, it is still distinctly a return to The Lands Between. And then—is that Dark Souls 3’s The Nameless King? After that, you go back and listen more intently. Yes, that is Dark Souls 3’s The Nameless King, and he is not the only boss from FromSoftware’s past making a reappearance. The environment of Elden Ring has also seen the arrival of friendly NPCs from Dark Souls, as revealed by another rewind and closer examination. Furthermore, this next…
