There's been a trend in recent years with even the best gaming keyboards in the mid-range market to be a jack of all trades. Enter the NZXT Function 2 which has lofty ambitions for its price point, but largely scores across the board for furthering what a deck can do without the sky high sticker rate that usually follows for this sort of feature set.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor director Stig Asmussen said when he left Respawn in September 2023 that he wanted "to pursue other adventures," and now we know what he meant. Asmussen announced today the launch of a new studio called Giant Skull, «dedicated to building gameplay-driven, story immersed action-adventure games set in captivating worlds.»
There's a new Terminid threat on the horizon, and Super Earth doesn't want us to know about it. Reports from Helldivers 2 players suggest a new type of enemy has joined a frey: a bug breed possibly called the «Shrieker.» They travel in packs, attack from the skies, and look annoying as heck.
Helldivers 2 threw out the first game's top-down camera perspective, bringing us closer to our soldiers to make us feel extra vulnerable as we face off with extraterrestrial killer bugs and robots, Arrowhead Studios CEO and creative director Johan Pilestedt told PlayStation Blog.
Stardew Valley players have theorized for years that harvesting crops from left to right is faster than harvesting them from right to left. Not hugely faster, hardly even noticeable, but just ever so slightly quicker. For non-Stardewers it's the sort of thing that sounds a little weird and even ridiculous—not quite up there with fake moon landings and «Elvis is alive» conspiracy theories, but of a similar nature. Left-to-right, right-to-left—come on, be serious here!
«Power tends to corrupt,» Lord Acton warned us in 1870. «And absolute power corrupts absolutely.» Those words carry no less weight today than they did 150 years ago, and I can think of no more pointed example of the truth of his caution than that of Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone, who has clearly gone mad with the kind of power only attainable as a successful indie game developer: Stardew Valley's tyrant king is now taunting his long-suffering followers with a slow-drip release of patch notes for the upcoming 1.6 update.
Starbreeze CEO Tobias Sjögren has been shown the door, as the board of directors has decided that it is in need of «different leadership» to take the company forward. The move comes just six months after the catastrophic launch of struggling heist-shooter Payday 3.
Helldivers 2 loves a bit of friendly fire and, while this mechanic has been around in various games since the year dot, its re-emergence at the heart of the current big thing has really captured some imaginations. After all, we live in a world where it feels like half the games you play seem afraid of putting up a fight.
