BioWare’s biggest sci-fi franchise will be taking a cue from its biggest fantasy franchise, with BioWare studio director Yanick Roy revealing that Mass Effect 4 will share “core systems” with Dragon Age 3.
The new meta-tabletop RPG Knights of Pen & Paper +1 Edition is now available from Paradox Interactive. And with it comes, like clockwork, an amazing and hilarious launch trailer. Check it out and enjoy the retro pixel-art sendup of tabletop gaming.
It’s been a good year for AMD. After becoming the sole video card manufacturer for next-gen consoles, the company is touting its hardware as the optimized platform for Battlefield 4, though IGN reported that statement as encompassing every Frostbite 3 game. EA was quick to soften the statement.
Now that the blinding glare of every major publisher simultaneously projecting marketing at us has dimmed, we have a clearer picture of what E3 2013 revealed, what’s important to us, and what we expect to be playing on PC within the next couple years. And here it all is.
Garry Newman, the creator of the all-time bestselling Garry’s Mod, is hard at work at a new open-world game that, well, really looks a lot like DayZ with some Minecraft mixed in. Rust is a multiplayer survival game currently in alpha development that forces players to survive in a world plagued by zombies, hunger and cold.
In addition to tracking down food and making clothing to avoid freezing in the night, the most interesting part of Rust is the ability to construct buildings and shelter. Imagine if, in DayZ, the only cities that existed were built, wall-by-wall, by players banding together to keep danger at bay. Oh, and they had to chop down trees with a hatchet to get the wood for all those buildings.
Looking over a list of Project Eternity’s races is initially like checking boxes: Humans? Dwarves? Elves? Yep, the gang’s all here. It’s those two words that aren’t recognizable by anyone who has ever picked up a fantasy book that evoke interest: the orlan and the aumaua. In today’s official update, we got our first look at in-game assets in progress for the former, a small, stealthy race with a more civilized “Hearth” variant, and an 80% furrier “Wild” variant.
When Portal 2 was announced, the news dropped through an elaborate scavenger hunt puzzle that sent thousands of players crawling all over the internet. Years later, we finally get to see some of the work that went into making that alternate reality game, as told by celebrated Half-Life modder (now Valve employee) Adam Foster in a blog post at Gamasutra.
Destiny may have answered plenty of burning questions with its gameplay demo back at E3, but there’s one query that’s still crackling on the fire: is it coming to PC? Destiny Design Director and Writer Joseph Staten remained reticent during his interview with GameSpot, but he did acknowledge that the developer’s silence might be “painful” for others.
