There should be a Callisto Protocol 2, says Dead Space creator Glen Schofield: "we had to cut two and a half bosses"

The interview in question is withYoutuber Dan Allen. I’ve put together some highlights. It was a tough project from the outset. We’re talking millions of dollars more." Nonetheless, Schofield said the relationship between Striking Distance and Krafton was positive at first. “I really liked working with them for the first couple of years. That was the term that kept being used, ‘no regrets’. Just put whatever you want into the game....

Total War Warhammer 3 teases new content this month, and a hotfix ensures goblins will now get dismembered correctly

Yes, and this month in fact. Late August to be precise by quoting a vague statement precisely. You dont Release The Heast for nothing! Or, maybe you do. Its my first time encountering his name, honestly. Either way, weve at least got some hotfix notes to keep us sated until then. Now, we can adequately maim Nasty Skulkers, Amethyst Wizards, and several others. Legendary Red Crested Skink Chief Lords now correctly have the immortal skill - another classic Skink win....

UK video game voice actor's union proposes new minimum rates and protections against AI and abusive NDAs

It’s both a praiseworthy endeavour and an interesting breakdown of the voice-actor’s trade. Performers are forced to sign documents which they have no hope of understanding or amending. By now, we would have expected Engagers to be following best practice and not repeat past mistakes." I like hearing about production niceties such as these. Now that I’ve learned the term, I find myself surprisingly laden with memories of walla voicework....

Victory Heat Rally looks like an electrifying retro arcade racer, and it's releasing this winter

As the trailer below notes, it now has a release window of this winter. The trailer looks electric. you might play alone or with up to three friends, with championship, arcade and time trial modes. The SNES equivalent, called Mode 7 and used in F-Zero among others, is perhaps better known. It’s in Early Access, and a lot less polished than Victory Heat Rally seems,

Omnissiah be praised, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's system requirements are here

I suspect higher resolutions on Ultra are going to take a toll. Best round up a few extra psykers, just to be safe. A true servant of the God-Emperor would not blanch at being unable to play a Tyranid. Speaking of traitors, a WIP but apparently complete and fully playable version of the gameleaked online last month. I dare say there’s footage in the wilds if you fancy spoiling it for yourself....

One BTN Bosses' rhythmic rush is an easy sell, since you can play it with one hand in a packet of crisps

Show them something popular likeElden Ringand, despite its grandeur, it might prove too much in all facets. It’s an easy sell: simple, digestible, ridiculous value. All of this is to say,One BTN Bossesis from the same school of the easy sell. The joy of One BTN Bosses is its simplicity. The format is, at its most basic level, a circle. You’re a little ship that whizzes around the circle automatically and the boss is at its centre....

One of the most influential Japanese visual novels ever made gets a PC Steam remaster this week

I randomly watched one of Stay/Night’s many anime spin-offs, Fate Zero, during the pandemic lockdowns. As such, I think I’m the nearest thing RPS has to a Fate “expert”. The mages do battle by summoning legendary heroes to duel on their behalf. Saber is absolutely ubiquitous within the Fate universe and beyond. If Saber is the heart of the series, Fate doesn’t want for alternative poster children. He’d do well in Total War....

Plant horror boss rusher Perennial Order is an oozing hybrid of Hollow Knight and Titan Souls

The title makes it sound like an eBay delivery of potted geraniums. It’s out on 6th September. Find a trailer nested below this paragraph like a venus flytrap poised to clamp around your fingers. The last boss rusher I seriously got into wasFurifrom The Game Bakers. This looks considerably less joyful, assuming you don’t find joy in squirming egg sacs or nodachi-wielding toadstools. There are touches of bullet hell, too, albeit with roaches rather than bullets....

Star Wars Outlaws gets two story DLCs featuring Lando and Hondo, but only if you fork out for a special edition

The game launches on August 30th and both DLCs will be released after the fact. Now here comes the painful bit. Goodness me, those prices. For more on those prices and a few extra bits on the season pass, Ubisoft’ssitehas the details. Otherwise, it’s possible for you to follow Star Wars Outlaws over on Ubisoft’ssiteas well.
