Dragon's Dogma 2 is, to put it mildly, an atypical RPG. To put it less mildly, Capcom was well and truly off its rocker and on a bender with this one. Exhibit A: the Unmaking Arrow, an arrow so powerful that, per its hilariously blunt in-game description, it auto-saves the game when fired, "so choose your moment with due care." Dragon's Dogma 2's approach to game design – friction-first, rule-breaking, and seriously unserious – has sparked some division but ultimately earned the game critical acclaim, and the Unmaking Arrow in particular has been lauded by many veteran game developers.
While the PlayStation 5 Pro CPU is said to offer minimal improvements over the base model, it could bring more enhancements than anticipated.
More major changes are afoot on the business side of the video game world, as a notable name is changing hands once again. Take-Two Interactive (the parent company of Grand Theft Auto publisher Rockstar and others) has agreed to buy Gearbox Entertainment from the embattled Embracer Group. The deal is worth $460 million in stock and is expected to close by June 30. It had been rumored for several months that Embracer was planning to sell off Gearbox.
Helldivers 2 just got two new heavy weapons for democratic soldiers to bring to the ongoing fight against the Automatons, spurred by a new Major Order to liberate Troost and head off the bots' "Reclamation." The LAS-99 Quasar Cannon and MG-206 Heavy Machine Gun are now available "for immediate battlefield distribution," as developer Arrowhead Game Studios announced via Twitter today.
The developer of indie hit Celeste has revealed its next game is no longer releasing in 2024 but is still "making progress."
I wasn't expecting much from the new Elgato Facecam MK.2. It's apparently not really a sequel, and will just go on to replace the existing Facecam we loved so well. It's also a bit cheaper than the original cam launched at: The new one is starting at $150 while the MK.1 came out at $200.
The constant battle to spread Managed Democracy in Helldivers 2 can be hard to keep up with at times. While the ever-evolving fight and story is a huge part of what makes Arrowhead's third-person shooter so damn good, I'm sure many of us would be hard-pressed to recall exactly what happened on each planet every day.
