Bring on more of this series Image & Form has a lot to be proud of. They’ve won a heap of awards for their critically acclaimedSteamWorldseries, and both core platformers have worked their way into annual playthroughs for me. They’d be crazy to stop this series while they’re ahead, and while they don’t outright confirm a new entry, something is coming “sooner than [we] think.” Delivering a New Year’s message, the company notes that they’ve been fairly inactive publicly sinceSteamWorld Dig 2and theSteamWorld DigSwitch port in 2018, but that will change....

Comfy headset, lacking hardware features This morning, at Unite Europe in Amsterdam, I finally got a chance to sit down and try out the current development kit for Morpheus, Sony’s upcoming VR headset for the PS4. Having gone hands on with the newestOculus last week at E3, I was very interested to see how both headsets matched up. So, how does the Morpheus headset current stack up? Let’s start with the basics: The Morpheus headset has a very comfortable build quality and fantastic technical build quality....

Better than the Wii U, worse than the Wii Despite shortages, in its first 16 weeks of availability, Nintendo Switch has sold one million consoles in Japan. How does that compare to Nintendo’s last two efforts in its home country over the same period?

But if this is the end result, it’s worth it Speaking toGamasutra, Game Freak designer Hironobu Yoshida has given insight into the Pokemon creation process. As we approach the 700s on the Pokedex withPokemon XandY, one can only imagine how much of a challenge it is to stay on point while still covering new ground. “Since there are 20 of us and we’re working all on our own ideas, we want to make sure we’re not overlapping ideas,” says Yoshida....

Play as FFXIV’s Yoshi-P I’m going to spend entirely too long tuning myNioh 2character. That’s just the way it is. If you’d rather embark on the yokai-busting adventure sooner than later, you may want to pick a preset character. Last year, Team Ninjaheld a contestin whichNioh 2beta players could submit their custom-designed character for a chance at having their creation featured in the final game. Now, the results are in....

Type faster you freaking motherlovers! Considering thatTyping of the Dead: Overkillwasn’t known about until the day of release andalmost never saw the light of day, it’s great to see more DLC packs extending the life of the game further. First there was theShakespeare pack, then the freeFootball Managerpack (jumpers for goalposts and all that) and now there’s the profanity-spewingFilth DLC pack which costs you just $2.99/£1.99on Steam. No, it’s not a DLC pack created after the James McAvoy starring movie adaptation of the Irvine Welsh novel but there’s probably an equal amount of swearing in it....

Ubisoft is all next-gen and stuff Ubisoft released a video showing off the Snowdrop Engine fromThe Division, and it seems like they thinks it’s really cool. In fact, they say that “never before has a video game reached this level of detail.” I think that’s a bunch of hyperbole, and that Ubisoft just wants you to know how cool and next-gen it is. The Snowdrop engine will have a dynamic day and night cycle, volumetric lighting, dynamic global illumination, procedural destruction, an advanced particle system, and dynamic material shaders for weather effects....
