Once more with feelings. Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark. And there were cocoons everywhere. Sadly, I had a swing at a few, and this turned out to be a mistake. Mothy, woven foes emerged and I was overwhelmed. I woke up, cursing, in a glade surrounded by standing stones. Ahead lay a sort of tented bedroom, and the whole thing promised to start over....
The pre-release marketing forLorelei and the Laser Eyeshas suggested a particularly abstract experience. This was all intentionalgame director Simon Flesser told me last year. “We want to make viewers wonder, and think.” So how does Lorelei compare? Its premise is actually rather simple to explain. As for the puzzles themselves, prepare yourself for plenty of reading and writing. The in-game instructions found at the start even suggest playing with pen and paper to hand....
But will actors be satisfied? The somewhat ironically-namedSpeechlessis a Swedish-based voice actor database and asset tool for developers. Its new AI licence will allow actors to provide their voice and earn a commission when used by developers. Speechless hopes this approach will provide an ethical way for developers to experiment with AI and establish best practice. It’s unclear, then, how popular this new throw in of AI licence will be with actors....
Everything you’re gonna wanna know about Trubbishs Spotlight Hour! This guide was written for a past Spotlight Hour, but theIV stats remain unchanged. This means that this weeksSpotlight Houris ideal time to hunt down aperfect TrubbishinPokemon Go. Unfortunately, unlike Frank, Trubbish is utter garbage inPokemon Go, as is its evolution, Garbodor. Its also super hard to catch as its always further from the screen than you think it is. So, what is this weeks bonus?...
Fallout creator Tim Cain has plenty of praise for Amazon’s recent TV adaptation. “They had huge sets with amazing production values on them… Amazing props. The acting was phenomenal. It was just surreal to watch Fallout recreated in real life like that,” Cain enthused. “It feels like Fallout,” he re-emphasised. “That is hard to do, trust me. I know how hard that is to do. To have things that are like, ‘that’s not part of Fallout’....

Fresh, genuine storytelling. Of all the Metroidvania elements inTales of Kenzera: Zau, my favourite are the trees. Simply enough, meditating inside a tree provides a health boost. There’s even a moving short film released ahead of the game. Yet even without knowing this, Tales of Kenzera itself exudes passion and love. There’s humour too that touches deeper still than sincerity. He’s the voice of Zau and their words are one....
Why don’t you come on over, valkyrie? You have been warned! Yet somewhat alarmingly, the dangers of the Ashlands begin before you’ve even set foot on dry land. “It’s going to be a really difficult, challenging place to go,” Smars admits. “It’s going to be endgame.” But there are bigger and more dangerous monsters in the Ashlands than these. “You’ll see a bigger diversity in enemy abilities and what they do....
And so Hundred Heroes is another impossibly massive, turn-based, party-centric RPG. (No interview process required - everyone’s allowed in, accused criminals included.) They can pretty much be found anywhere. You’ll get dozens by just following the main quest. Dozens more are in towns on standby mode until you walk into their presence. Some will only appear in the open world when you’ve progressed to a certain point or met prerequisites....
Oh to be a fly on the wall when they pitchedthe Street Fighter 6 intro movie. See, there are rules for fighting game cinematics. These conventions are sacrosanct and cannot be broken. Everything fromTekken, toGuilty Gear, toKing of Fighters, toStreet Fighter 5follows the same recipe. With a neon graffiti aesthetic? And in lieu of a social message, let’s get really existential about the meaning of strength! Reader, I do not know how this got past upper management....
There’s something quietly quite exciting happening, and I wonder where it’s going to lead. What excites me is what it means for players and, I suppose, for the games themselves. They’ve been with us so long they’ve become familiar. Well, not yet. This gradual fading away has nothing to do with the quality of the games. Both have evolved consistently and considerably, and are much fuller and more sophisticated experiences than they were....
Plus: revisiting Xbox Series consoles and last-gen Xbox One X. The most interesting place to start is with a look at the brand-new PS5 version. Shadows look quite a bit different on PS5, with a sharper outline and more visible detail. There are also some changes to foliage. On PC, the PS5 corresponds with max controls, with Xbox falling somewhat behind. In terms of image quality, both platforms are delivering a 4K image....
