Read moreThief developer Randy Smith says “immersion is totally incompatible with ego”
Thief: The Dark Project had a great director, in the form of Greg LePiccolo, who later became a pioneer in the world of music games with Guitar Hero and Rock Band. And before him, Ken Levine had laid down the cobbles of Thief’s setting, defining its noir-ish tone before heading off to work on System Shock 2. Yet Looking Glass games weren’t driven by a singular 90s auteur. In fact, the very absence of ego in the studio’s culture meant its many “bright stars” were happy to adhere to a shared vision.Shots fired as Microsoft and Sony reignite Call Of Duty parity debate
Call Of Duty exclusivity, and they’re not done yet. In a series of tweets published last Friday, Microsoft’s chief communications officer Frank X. Shaw said Sony were “briefing people in Brussels claiming Microsoft is unwilling to offer them parity for Call of Duty if we acquire Activision,” but added that “Nothing could be further from the truth.” I would have thought that a legal venue would be a more appropriate place to air these grievances, but I suppose this gets the job done quicker. Either way, it’s a toffee popcorn-worthy accusation in the ongoing drama.Fans decipher Dead Space Remake’s ‘Indecipherable’ text log and find tasty Easter eggs
musical language was especially fun.) Fortunately for me, players have already deciphered the ‘Indecipherable’ text log in the new Dead Space remake, revealing a poem that potentially hints toward the series’ future. Naturally, spoilers within.Over 12 minutes of early Horizon multiplayer game footage leaks online
Horizon Forbidden West‘s multiplayer alpha has appeared online. The leak surfaced on Reddit over the weekend, claiming to be from a “very old alpha” build from summer 2020. It’s an interesting watch, as while the world and robo dinos look like classic Horizon, the characters jumping around fighting them look a lot more stylised than their hyper-detailed mainline counterparts.Even after big fixes, the Dead Space remake can stumble on Steam Deck
Dead Space remake on my PC, and the Dead Space remake on my Steam Deck. It’s a belter of a refurb, and for me personally, has been like getting dessert after being forced to finish my Forspoken vegetables. Still, some lingering performance woes on the Deck mean I’m probably going to continue Isaac Clarke’s first and worst job on desktop alone.To be fair, the remake is playable on Valve’s handheld. It’s not outright broken, despite having been so on launch day, with problems ranging from drastic FPS dips to outright hard crashes. Following some impressively fast work from Valve themselves, focusing on hotfixes for SteamOS’ Proton compatibility software, Dead Space’s Deck performance has become more or less manageable. But worthy of the best Steam Deck games? Nope, nein and non.
Back Scratching Simulator 2023 lets you scratch an itch on Itch
Tie Simulator 2020 so wonderfully weird. As many RPS Treehouse members found out at EGX 2022, it’s a game that sees you holding your keyboard vertically, and pressing buttons to (sort of) tie your tie onscreen. Now, Ludipe’s back with a new co-op sequel called Back Scratching Simulator 2023 where you’re once again doing terrible, but brilliant things with a vertical keyboard.Phoebe “Fleabag” Waller-Bridge is writing a Tomb Raider TV show for Amazon
Tomb Raider TV series and a film in development at Amazon. THR reported that the Emmy-winning Fleabag writer Pheobe Waller-Bridge is set to pen (and executive produce) the upcoming show, though there’s no word on who’s attached with the film. THR states that Amazon is looking to “build out a connected world of Tomb Raider, with the video game, TV series and film.” This sounds a little ambitious, considering that Crytal Dynamics’ game is already in production, so we’ll have to wait and see how the adaptations interact with the games.American Truck Simulator DLC will head to Kansas after Oklahoma
