Prey director is optimistic genAI could help immersive sims by acting like a "Dungeons & Dragons GM"

“Everybody hates AI…and for frankly good reasons. In short, he sounds optimistic. Things we could not do. There would not be a team that is big enough to do this kind of thing.” But that net’s a little janky. Sometimes it works, sometimes not." “Everybody hates AI … and for frankly good reasons. But there is space for AI to improve the tools,” he continued. “Not to do our job, but improve the tools....

Psycho Patrol R early access review

Mech my day punk I cannot reviewPsycho Patrol Rin any way that matters. Neither approach is going to work. Psycho Patrol R requires a buy-in of brain rot and an almost memetic openness to mania. You’ll need to play it to better misunderstand it. That would cause a diplomatic incident. But the militant police force you work for in-game is a hideous caricature of the organisation. Some of that work takes place in the pilot seat of your mech....

The UK games industry has a class problem's how one organisation is trying to fix it

To get these people to understand that there’s a place for them in the sector". “Working class is really what your parents did,” says Cassidy. “It’s not necessarily anything to do with income. It infers low income just by what those kind of working positions are. But it can, in essence, be a little bit clumsy in its more broad use”. “Working class doesn’t necessarily mean low income.” “It’s small for the entire creative sectors....

Seriously, he says exterminate and everything! Here’s the thing I can’t get over though: he really sounds like a bloody Dalek.

Anew Dev Visionwas shared today too, offering some more details on what lies ahead for the game. it’s possible for you to check out the video for specifics!...

Shenmue beats Doom as the most influential game of all time in BAFTA poll

Minecraft hovered around the winners table laughing loudly at everyone’s jokes at number six. Full results below in descending order. I’m not sure KCD 2 has been out long enough to influence anything outside its own DLC. Baldur’s Gate 3 at 16 is also a weird one. It’s that big number ‘3’ that gives it away. “The game popularised the use of Quick Time Events (QTEs),” BAFTA say. Bring back annoying deaths as a form of collectible, I say....

Steam Deck Joel avenged: The Last of Us Part II Remastered nails handheld play

Part Is technical troubleswere eventually fixed, but it never wentthatfar. Out-of-the-box performance is good here, too. Some adroit scaling also makes sure that text or prompts remain clear and readable on the Decks 800p screen. No error screens, no blocked-off modes. On a Steam Deck!

Striden, a wintery looter shooter where you can be a moose with a tank sometimes, is holding an open beta this weekend

Oddly specific thing to think about first thing in the morning, butStridenhas you covered at least. There’s a couple of new modes being introduced with the beta, the first being transmit mode. Presumably this one involves moving something around, given the name. I hope not, I don’t like the idea of gunning down a bear. you’re free to check out the game’s Steam page and sign-up to its playtesthere.

The next shooter from the GTFO crew will have microtransactions, but no lootboxes, "math-fuckery" or "buckazoids"

So were hoping it turns into a live service pop in thing. Lest the mention of “live service” give you hives, keep reading. Its not going to be a subscription service, its going to be a premium price, Viklund qualified. Maybe two-thirds of what triple-A games usually cost. Thats the space were occupying. So, yes, there will be microtransactions, most likely, he said. Its manipulative, stuff like that. People who buy stuff like DLC maps will be able to host friends who havent bought that DLC....

This ARPG based on a historical massacre is influenced by Diablo 4 and Path Of Exile's better than either

You gulp down potions. You dodge with space (it hurts enemies though!). You collect shiny loot and… Wait, but you actuallydon’tcollect shiny loot. And even if you did, you’d lose it after your run anyway. Instead, you collect purple crystals to spend on permanent gear and abilities between runs. Everything else - gold, ability buffs, - is temporary. There’s another wrinkle, too. Here are some lovely bullet point features from Steam....
