FTL: Faster Than Light is one of our indie games of the decade. That hasn’t changed, but Trigon: Space Story might just supplant FTL for those who are looking for a little bit more. Trigon: Space Story comes to use from Russian indie dev Sernur.tech, a collective of 11 gamers that looked at FTL and said to themselves, “We can do better.” Rather than the story taking the frantic pace of fleeing from an enemy fleet while engaging in constant space battles....

As if there weren’t enough tragic events to have taken place last year, 2020 had to get one last jab in. Sadly, iconic hip hop rapper MF Doom passed away earlier on October 31, 2020, but wasn’t announced until December 31. And rumor has it, the Twitch tribute stream for the artist was taken down. The stream was titled “The Villain’s Farewell; Remembering MF Doom” and was hosted by Flying Lotus, a music producer that worked with MF Doom....

Copies of the highly anticipated PlayStation 4 exclusive Uncharted 4 are being sold by retailers weeks ahead of the scheduled released date of May 10. The Uncharted series is developer Naughty Dog’s bread and butter. While they have had tremendous success with many of their other titles, Uncharted remains their flagship series, and for good reason. It’s not only critically acclaimed, but also incredible lucrative; the last chapter in the series sold 3....

The VALORANT Clip It animated spray shows a purple clapperboard - typically used in filmmaking, but also associated with the “clip” feature on Twitch - snapping down with a smile. Using this spray lets your opponents know they’ve just been eliminated in a clip-worthy moment, making it the perfect post-round graffiti for when you pull off that insane clutch. VALORANT has offered previous in-game rewards for Prime Gaming users, including the Pay Respects gun buddy, which is currently still available to claim....

Bungie shows off a large collection of Destiny concept art from very early explorations of the game’s characters, races, classes, enemies, and worlds. Destiny is in what its fans and developer call Year 3, with many anticipating a concept update in the spring followed by what Activision promises to be a full sequel later this year. But with it being over two years since the launch of Destiny in September 2014, fans are starting to commemorate their time spent with the game and with each other....

Dungeons & Dragons is the root of all role playing, and thanks in part to a boom of D&D podcasts, this very ur-RPG has recently made a comeback. There’s maybe no greater time, then, for a game like Untold, a mobile RPG inspired directly by the source of all RPGs. Untold is, of course, far from the first RPG to claim lineage in Dungeons & Dragons and other tabletop RPGs. Disco Elysium, to give one recent example, uses dice rolls to determine key plot moments, just as pen and paper players would do....

Update: This article originally focused on the Childe and Zhongli banners before they had officially been confirmed. As we know, the Childe Tartaglia banner is currently available as a limited-time character banner in Genshin Impact. However, it’s also worth noting that this gives us a pretty good idea of the timeline for the Zhongli banner. The Childe banner dropped on November 11 with Genshin Impact patch 1.1, and the next major update is Dragonspine, currently scheduled for December 23....

Paradox Interactive has been teasing the development and announcement of a new game recently, primarily through their mysterious pseudo-dating app ARG, Tender. Today, during GDC, the developer officially announced its newest project: Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2. Paradox held a special event during GDC for 300 lucky members of the Tender app, with secret puzzles to unlock that would ultimately reveal the name of the game. Players at home participated via Twitch and the Tender app itself....

As gaming clichés go, the ‘heroic hobbyist’ is certainly amongst the silliest, and therefore the most common. For no matter how dire an emergency may seem, this virtuous vagabond continues to chop wood, brew ales and corral cattle even as the world around them fizzles to a cinder. Enemy at the gates? - no matter, there’s baking points to bolster. Goblins eating the township? - add it to the to-do-list....

Warcraft releases on Blu-ray and DVD in a few weeks and select physical copies come packed with digital unlock codes for World of Warcraft, Heroes of the Storm, and Hearthstone. The Warcraft film wasn’t loved by critics, but the summer blockbuster did manage to pull in enough cash overseas to turn a profit and not go down as a total flop. Fans had high hopes for the adaptation when Moon and Source Code director Duncan Jones signed on to the project, but ultimately the film felt like a prequel to some great stories that we may never get to see on the big screen....

There’s nothing worse than being stuck right on the edge of the gas in a game of Warzone only to get caught in the lengthy gas mask animation at a critical moment and dying. Our guide can show you a sneaky way to bypass this animation and keep on fighting.

Popular post-apocalyptic tactical RPG Wasteland 3 now includes a permadeath mode, as introduced in the game’s latest update.

A pair of bounty hunters who go by StephenIRL and OCEANSGIANT can be found daily on Twitch livestreaming the pursuit and capture of fugitives. While Twitch is primarily the home of video game streamers, these bounty hunters occupy a unique and often controversial side of Twitch known as IRL, or in real life channels. Last night, viewers were treated to a bit of action when the team arrived at the residence of a woman they intended to arrest....

The PS5 came out on November 12th, 2020, and one standout title among the launch lineup is Bluepoint Games’ remake of FromSoftware’s cult classic Demon’s Souls. The title laid the foundation for the company’s future up until today and influenced numerous other action games and RPGs. It is also extremely difficult. Later titles like Dark Souls and Bloodborne further perfected the genre. Because it is the first game Hidetaka Miyazaki directed, some parts about the notorious difficulty seem downright unfair....

What Does Microservices Mean? A microservice is a modular software component that does one defined job. Microservices, which have become the default architecture for software development, can run as a process on an application server, virtual machines (VM) or container. Techopedia Explains Microservices Microservices are increasingly being used to develop distributed software applications that run in the cloud. Their smaller code base facilitates faster development, testing and deployment. Because each transaction involves the transmission of messages across a network, however, it’s important to consider network security, reliability and latency when considering moving to a microservice architecture....

Being a loot based game, Destiny encourages players to participate in new missions each week for a chance at earning exceedingly rare gear or weapons. Sometimes though, the quickest way to obtain a new exotic item or two is to visit Xur, a merchant who appears at The Tower only on weekends. For a handful of Strange Coins, players can purchase hard to find items like the Gjallarhorn rocket launcher, which caused quite a stir within the community when it became available a few weeks ago....

Sony confirmed in a blog post last week that the PS5 camera will not be compatible with PSVR. PSVR players will need to connect their PS4 camera to the PS5 in order to play PSVR games. To makes matters worse, the PS4 camera will not work natively with the PS5. Sony has promised to send out an adapter to all PSVR owners free of charge, but the details on that specific service have not been given yet....
