[ad_1] Under the wrong conditions, however, talented developers will build terrible games. And sometimes, despite every mental, emotional and strategic roadblock thrown their way, they’ll create fantastic games, and then get laid off a few weeks later anyway. That’s the business, baby. A crunch-lite process plays out all the time in Silicon Valley, with scrum […]

‘Apex Legends’ fix restores the progression you lost
[ad_1] If you fired up Apex Legends after the 1.1 patch on April 2nd only to panic as all your progression was nowhere to be seen, don’t panic — it’s back. Respawn has fixed a mistake on its end that moved players to servers that didn’t have their persistence, making it look as if all […]
Epic will continue to sign Steam games to exclusive store deals
[ad_1] It’s uncertain if the strategy is paying off for Epic, although Sweeney noted that the cash outlay was “significant” and that his company might not turn a profit from exclusives in 2019. You might not see Epic repeat what it did with Metro: Exodus, where it unceremoniously pulled the shooter from Steam for anyone […]
Valve’s Index VR headset will ship June 15th
[ad_1] You’ll need a reasonably powerful Windows PC to handle the Index. You’ll want a dual-core processor with hyperthreading, 8GB of RAM and either a GeForce GTX 970 or a Radeon RX480 for graphics, although Valve really wants you to have a quad-core CPU and GTX 1070-class video. There are certain reasonably safe expectations for […]
Finished Atari VCS design pays homage to its 2600 roots
[ad_1] It’s also considerably easier to make, with less wasted plastic and more space for cooling that new embedded AMD Ryzen chip. The VCS will also have a simpler light setup that uses Atari’s signature “Fuji” logo for alerts rather than a separate set of four lights. There is a drawback to this redesign, though. […]
Google Maps adds a city-themed ‘Snake’ game
[ad_1] Google has a habit of introducing goodies on April Fools that last long after the gags are over, and that isn’t changing for 2019. The company has added a Snake game to Google Maps that lets you play the classic title themed around major cities. You’ll play as an ever-growing double decker bus snapping […]
‘Driveclub’ online features shut down March 31st, 2020
[ad_1] The server shutdown will prevent people from competing in multiplayer races, including events and tours. You also won’t get to compete against others on the leader boards or share your progress. Your season pass won’t work online, either. The game that’s left will be a shell of its former self. It’s not completely surprising […]
Sega will still release ‘Judgment’ worldwide despite actor’s arrest
[ad_1] It’s not hard to understand why Sega would press forward despite the Japanese controversy. There’s already an English voice cast for the game, so Sega can continue to sell the game abroad without upsetting people in Japan (which frowns on drug use more than other countries). Still, it creates an unusual situation where a […]
Gearbox officially announces ‘Borderlands 3’

It also showcases a […]

[ad_1] The official unveiling for Borderlands 3 is a mere day away as we write this, but that isn't stopping Gearbox from trying to further whet your appetite. The studio has posted a "Mask of Mayhem" teaser trailer that whips around a giant static scene t… [ad_2] Source link
