Monster Hunter Wilds took over 5 years to make partly because Monster Hunter World blew up so hard that Capcom had to figure out what all these new fans would want
Monster Hunter Wilds has taken over five years to develop, partly because 2018's Monster Hunter World was such a storming success for Capcom that it brought in droves of new players for the franchise.
Avowed Art Director Says Xbox Series X Often Runs Better Than PC
During Gamescom 2024, Avowed Art Director Matt Hansen revealed that the studio targeted 30 FPS for Xbox consoles while developing the game, adding that 60 frames per second aren't required for a single player RPG. That statement turned out to be rather controversial among fans, and now there's another of a similar kind from a separate interview published by Windows Central.
Game-Breaking Star Wars Outlaws Bugs May Require You To Delete Your Save File
Ubisoft has asked some players to reset their save files before the game has even officially launched. The new open-world game is scheduled for release on August 30, but early access became available on August 27. Players who purchased the pricier Gold Edition of the game got to start playing the game early, in addition to other perks. For $109.99, players get the game and season pass, two cosmetic items, and a digital art book. Now it looks like the early access part of the perks might have backfired.
Deadlock wins the award for best placeholder UI text I've ever read with this one-line character bio calling one of its heroes an a**hole
Now that Valve is acknowledging that okay, yes, Deadlock exists, we're free to discuss its excellent vibes.

'A violation is upon you': Valve called out for breaking its own rules with Deadlock's Steam store page
After months of horsing around, Valve finally made Deadlock official last week: You still can't play it without an invitation, but at least now you can look at it on Steam. But that's raised complaints from some quarters because it appears that Valve is rather blatantly breaking its own rules on what you can and cannot do with Steam store pages.
I let out a 'hell yes' when I saw this game stars a worm-fox trapped on a dying world, and an even louder 'yes dude, yes' when the trailer got to the Metal Gear mechs
Upcoming metroidvania Uruc had me sitting up in my chair pretty quickly: Its debut trailer begins with flash cuts of horrible masses of worms before showing our protagonist—who I initially parsed as a banana slug, but who actually seems to be some manner of sable or fox with no limbs—an incongruously cute little guy in the grand tradition of incongruously cute metroidvania protagonists. We then see that this little guy is up against militaristic mecha straight out of Ghost in the Shell or Metal Gear, rampaging across a dead or dying world of industrial hulks and unnerving statuary. I'm in.
