Kickstarter has been a great resource for small developers hoping to release a game that may not attract the attention of a big publisher. That appears to a trend that will continue into 2021, as another project has just passed an impressive goal and confirmed that it will be made. That project is TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue HD, a modernization of the classic 3D platformer developed for the PS2, GameCube, and Xbox....
Game publisher jUbisoft has announced a new fantasy football title, One Shot League. One Shot League, which was developed by Ubisoft’s Strategic Innovation Lab in collaboration with Belgium’s Jupiler Pro League, is unique in that it will use blockchain-based technology to create digital “cards” which players will collect and use. In addition to the Belgian Pro League, One Shot League was also developed in collaboration with Sorare, an existing blockchain-based online fantasy football game....
This is almost certainly an exercise in cruelty. Fans of Channel 4’s conspiracy thriller Utopia have already gone through the pain of its premature cancellation. To hope for more at this late stage is surely just setting ourselves up for more hurt? And yet… Speaking to Den of Geek about new experimental mystery thriller The Third Day, currently airing on Sky Atlantic and HBO, Utopia writer Dennis Kelly admitted that he hasn’t “quite closed the door” on Utopia....
There’s never been a better time to be a Star Wars fan in terms of quantity. There’s more Star Wars on screen and on the page now than ever before in the franchise’s history. From Disney+ series to video games to The High Republic books and Marvel comics, you can experience new adventures in the galaxy far, far away pretty much any way you want it right now. If Lucasfilm were able to get some movies off the ground, we’d be able to say that the franchise is firing on all cylinders....
You can do a lot in Valheim, from making gigantic ice slides to launch your Viking longboat to creating incredible mountain-based strongholds that are frankly way better than anything I’ve ever seen from a Viking history textbook. And you can even kill other players in Valheim if you were so inclined, but the game itself really isn’t about PvP combat. It’s more of a PvE game with a focus on exploration, survival, and occasionally launching yourself into the stratosphere because this game has some really wonky physics sometimes....
The world of Valheim is stunning in its own right, but players are able to shape it to their will with enough dedication. This level of unbridled creativity never fails to produce some amazing things, as talented gamers use the tools these games give them to create masterpieces. The latest work of this kind comes from Redditor Ravnuslock, who endeavored to build Diablo’s iconic Old Tristram from scratch within the game....

Unless it is able to sell off its US operations to a US company, TikTok is on the verge of being banned in the United States. Before then, though, the app is filled with all sorts of content, including plenty of videos about video games. One recent video game TikTok video has gone viral for its criticism of “tryhard” players in online multiplayer games. The video, uploaded by user Mubeen Momodu, is a reaction to a clip of someone playing the new Fall Guys battle royale game....
Because discussions of video game violence have stemmed from mass shootings since the Columbine massacre in 1999, it should be no surprise that the discussion has arisen once again. A mass shooting occurred at a high school just outside of Boca Raton, Florida that left at least 17 dead and numerous injured, and in response, Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin (R) stated in an interview that video games were partly responsible....
What’s the lowest point in your life? For me, it has to be the time I wore marigolds and scooped regurgitated onions out of a urinal. In my early 20s, I was the manager of a lap dancing club. I didn’t apply for the job, I just happened to be running a bar when the owner decided, “Fuck it, I’m turning it into a strip joint.” I helped him build the stages and erect the poles (ooh, er), and we tied some fancy scarves to the walls for some reason....
Fans of Mortal Kombat just got an interesting hype piece confirming the leaks rumoring the return of one of the game’s most well-loved characters, the cannibalistic Mileena.

James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad is in the unique position of being both a sequel to Suicide Squad, but also a soft-reboot that aims to take the franchise in a new direction. As a result, there has been quite a bit of speculation as to what the plot of the film will be and just how closely connected it really is to the overarching DC Cinematic Universe. Now that the official synopsis has arrived, it seems there may be some more details available for fans to chew on....

PlayStation Studios has finally arrived on the PC gaming platform Steam with its own curator tab, sporting all of its ported titles so far. There’s Predator: Hunting Grounds, Horizon Zero Dawn, Helldivers, Days Gone, and more. Days Gone isn’t available just yet, but it is launching in only three days, and it isn’t going to be the last to make the leap. The curator tab appears to be preparation for Sony’s continuing push to bring more of its flagship games and exclusives to PC much like how Microsoft has been in recent years, what with the entire Masterchief saga now being purchasable on both the Windows Store and Steam....
The Sims 4 team has announced a new type of DLC they are calling kits. These are small hyper-focused content packs that hone in on particular themes and playstyles. They contain far fewer items than current DLC options, which is reflected in the $5 price tag. The intention appears to be a different variation of the stores we saw for The Sims 2 and 3. Kits are designed to be small, frequently released packs that fill content droughts and offer options tailored to a specific type of gameplay....

FerociouslySteph, known across r/LivestreamFail as Deer Girl, is trolling the entire Twitch community in the most obvious way and you’re all falling for it. When Twitch announced their bureaucratically named Twitch Safety Advisory Council this week, it was quickly dismissed by many as a publicity stunt. Twitch explains in their blog post that the committee of streamers and activists has been assembled in order to help guide Twitch in drafting new policies and improve the safety and moderation of the service....
