Elden Ring fans have grown increasingly desperate for news of From Software's highly anticipated game, and a leak of what appears to be grainy footage of the game in action has triggered a torrent of memes. On the Elden Ring subreddit, which has become ground zero for the game's increasingly-desperate fans to express their displeasure at From Software's radio silence, the reaction has been divided between unrelenting hype and humorous memes. Wait a minute from Eldenring The Elden Ring subreddit has become increasingly meta in its sense of humor as the wait for the game has continued. For example, the above meme compares a low-definition screencap of a carriage from the newly revealed footage to the carriages from a photoshopped screenshot of Bloodborne Kart, a non-existent game that has become a meme unto itself in the community. Other top posts in the subreddit poke fun at the footage's highly questionable video quality. Another popular post compares a tree seen in … [Read more...] about Fans React To New Elden Ring Footage With Memes And Hype

There are shooting games, and there are shooting games. Irem's 1987 R-Type can't exactly claim to be the first of its kind, and you could well argue there are more widely acclaimed shooting games, but you'd be hard pushed to find any as iconic as this stately sci-fi venture. Cold, composed and challenging, it's the archetypal 80s shooter, and a prime example of the genre in its pomp. The popularity of shooting games would wane throughout the 90s, however, and by the turn of the century those in charge of the series wondered whether it had a future at all. Which explains the brilliantly fatalistic air that hangs over R-Type Final, the 2004 entry that was imagined as a full-stop for the series. R-Type Final lead designer Kazuma Kujo has since discovered there's life yet in the series, though. The veteran of Nazca, Irem and now Granzella - the studio where many Irem alumni ended when the company moved away from video games - now finds himself heading up development of a sequel, … [Read more...] about How the grand dame of shooting games is making its return

Star Wars has long been about clear polar opposites. Sith and Jedi. Scruffy smugglers and high royalty. Yoda and Yaddle. But, unlike most conflicts in a galaxy far, far away, the loose threads in The Mandalorian are colored in several shades of gray. One of those is the fate of the Darksaber . For now, Din Djarin holds the legendary Mandalore weapon – but maybe not for long. One of those looking to claim it is Bo-Katan , and the actor behind the character, Katee Sackhoff, has reflected on Bo-Katan's ambiguous alignment in The Mandalorian season 2 , and might have even teased a little on what we can expect from her in the show’s future. Speaking to Polygon , Sackhoff hinted that Bo-Katan is a mystery whose motivations still need unraveling – potentially in The Mandalorian season 3 . "You don’t really know what she’s thinking, or where she lands, or if you’re supposed to like her or trust her," Sackhoff said. Bo-Katan’s initial appearance laid out her motivations in … [Read more...] about The Mandalorian actor Katee Sackhoff addresses whether Bo-Katan is a hero or a villain

Every day I wake up in a universe that doesn't contain Alpha Centauri 2, and frankly it's a miracle I don't just go straight back to sleep. In a just world, the direction Brian Reynolds and MicroProse took the 4X formula would have set a new standard for storytelling in strategy games, but it proved to be more of an anomaly. I've conquered countless planets since, but nothing has been able to take my mind off the weird Civilization follow-up that appeared way back in the final days of the 20th century. Most 4Xs try to manage their vast scale through abstraction, boiling war, politics and social issues down to maths. You never really see or hear from your people in Civilization, and though you're technically playing with and against historical rulers, none of them have much humanity. But we desperately want it to be otherwise. Even before the series started assigning leaders proper traits, we did it ourselves. "Players would read more into the game than what was there in some … [Read more...] about Come on Firaxis, where the hell is Alpha Centauri 2

Fall Guys developer Mediatonic has been scooped up Epic Games, as part of the Fortnite and Unreal Engine developer's acquisition of the Tonic Games Group . Announcing the deal on its website , Mediatonic called the move a "huge win for Fall Guys", claiming that joining Epic "will accelerate our plans to improve the game and bring Fall Guys to as many players as possible, while continuing to support the community."

Fall Guys' recently announced Switch and Xbox editions will also still go ahead this summer. Further down the line, Mediatonic says it hopes to bring some of features seen in Fortnite and Rocket League (which Epic acquired alongside developer Psyonix in 2018) over to Fall Guys, including … [Read more...] about Epic acquires Fall Guys developer Mediatonic
