RNG my bell. It takes a lot to make a game about giant robot battles feel dull, but somehow Front Mission 2: Remake manages it. While it improves on some of the shortcomings of Front Mission 1st: Remake, the combat system isn’t fun enough to fully salvage this tactical RPG. While it might be worthwhile for strategy fans eager to test out G-Craft's 1997 PlayStation game that never got released outside of Japan, we can’t see Front Mission 2: Remake offering much to anyone else. It’s a shame that t...

CD Projekt RED's Colin Walder, engineering director for management and audio, has shared a few thoughts on how the Polish developer's next Witcher RPG, codenamed Polaris, will improve on the cataclysmic development of Cyberpunk 2077. There's not a lot to share at this stage, of course, but what there is sounds like a step in the right direction.

Colin Walder says CDP isn't as crunchy as it used to be.

2010’s Alan Wake is now in Fortnite, as a collaboration between both Remedy and Epic Games called Alan Wake: Flashback brings a free experience to the battle royale game alongside some premium skins of the troubled writer himself.

Exactly 364 after its announcement, Mortal Kombat: Onslaught - NetherRealm's free-to-play character-collecting RPG - is out of beta testing and available to download on iOS and Android. Mortal Kombat: Onslaught's big selling point is its "mobile-exclusive" story - promising "high quality graphics, cinematic cutscenes, and bone-krushing kombat" - that'll see players joining forces with Raiden in a bid to prevent fallen Elder God Shinnok from gathering relics and regaining his evil powers. All tha...

All about adding those finishing touches. Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 received a surprisingly under-the-radar release date announcement last month of 3rd November, however, it seems that the fighter sequel requires a little more time to warm up before it steps into the ring. The development team has today announced that this release date has been pushed back to 7th November for digital releases and 1st December for physical. The delay was announced via the official @NickBrawlGame Twitter accoun...

During a hectic afternoon at WASD, I find myself marooned on a mythical island. Polygon Treehouse’s Mythwrecked is a small pocket of calm in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the convention floor, and I’m enveloped in the sound of seafoam and a gentle harp as I befriend amnesiac gods, pick through abandoned ruins, and feed dried dates to seagulls. Afterwards, I catch up with creative director Alex Kanaris-Sotiriou to talk myth and modernity.

Round two.

Half-Life and Doom. I struggle to think of two games that have influenced me more. Between the iconic, flickering corridors of Valve’s Black Mesa and the run-and-gun fury of id Software’s defining FPS, my own taste in videogames is irredeemably shaped by these giants of PC history. Without Half-Life, there would be no Counter-Strike 2, no Portal, no Left 4 Dead - maybe even no Steam. Take Doom out of the equation, and the shooter as we know it might never have existed. Now, Gordon Freeman and Do...

Over the past four days, there were several conflicting rumors about Apple announcing new iPads, a new Apple Pencil, or a combination of those two things. In the end, the only product announced was a lower-cost Apple Pencil with a USB-C port. Below, we have put together a rumor report card that recaps all of the reports and speculation leading up to Apple's press release today. AccurateBloomberg's Mark Gurman said there would not be any new iPads released this month, a claim that remains accurat...

Is Alan Wake 2 on Game Pass? It’s been over a decade since the eponymous crime novelist was first trapped in the Dark Place, and after the events of Control’s AWE DLC, the long-awaited sequel to Remedy’s action thriller is at the top of our wishlist. If you’re a Game Pass user, you might be wondering if you can expect to pick it up as part of your subscription, and we’re here to set the record straight. In PCGamesN’s own Alan Wake 2 Gamescom interview with Sam Lake, we learned exactly why it’s t...

Is Alan Wake 2 on Steam? Valve’s digital storefront is the go-to platform for the vast majority of players on PC, though exclusivity deals can sometimes prohibit certain titles from reaching the platform until a certain amount of time has lapsed. Exclusivity is particularly common during deals struck with Epic Games, Alan Wake 2’s publisher. Consequently, you might be wondering if Alan Wake 2 is on Steam, and if not, whether you can expect it to arrive after the Alan Wake 2 release date. We alre...

Fans of the Indie darling Vampire Survivors have been waiting for the "Whiteout" free update since its announcement last month, and now it has a release date. 

There are few gaming memories I have that invoke genuine feelings of joy and excitement, but the moment I deployed my hidden blade with a quick trigger tap and a wrist flick during my Assassin’s Creed Nexus preview is one I’ll never forget. PCGamesN was recently invited to Ubisoft’s Leamington offices to take a closer look at Assassin’s Creed Nexus, with around an hour of gameplay to explore. Coming off the back of our Meta Quest 3 review, it was a great opportunity to see how a AAA experience w...

Netflix is getting into live sports streaming, but it's not shelling out hundreds of millions of dollars on NFL games, Formula 1 races or the English Premier League quite yet. The company's first live sports event is a pro-am golf tournament that features athletes from its Formula 1: Drive to Survive and Full Swing docuseries. The Netflix Cup will see four pairs of Formula 1 drivers and PGA Tour golfers pairing up in a match play tournament that will take place in Las Vegas. You'll be able to wa...

Alan Wake is coming to Fortnite in a cross-promotional event ahead of the 2010 game’s long-awaited sequel. Alan Wake: Flashback “reimagines Remedy Entertainment’s iconic story in Fortnite” as Epic Games and Remedy Entertainment introduce younger players to a franchise that faded in and out of public consciousness before some of them were born. The game within a game appears to provide a quick recap of the events of the first title within Fortnite. “Troubled author Alan Wake embarks on a desperat...

"We didn't hear anything about the film's content during development". We are just days away from the release of Super Mario Bros. Wonder on Switch and, as has become something of a tradition, Nintendo has today released the first two parts of an all-new 'Ask the Developer' interview series about the upcoming game. The conversation covers a range of topics including how the team settled on the theme of 'wonder' and the changes that have been made to the game's visuals and sound design, but one s...

Skyrim finally contains the most hated food in America thanks to an incredible mod, as the Bethesda RPG sees the most quintessential British food spread added to the land of Tamriel in what I can only describe as the greatest Skyrim mod ever made.

With Black Friday approaching, prices may be at their lowest for some time.

There's a new King Kong game out right now, but you might not have known about it. Developer IguanaBee and publisher GameMill Entertainment have remained silent on social platforms about the game, despite the fact it only released earlier today. The reason for that may be the state of the game at release. Full walkthroughs and cutscene footage have been shared on social media and are gaining traction for the game's poor quality. IguanaBee is a small studio based in Chile which developed party ga...

Elgato’s Stream Deck MK.2 is on sale for $130, a discount of $20 from the MSRP of $150. That’s 13 percent off and actually beats the sale price from last week’s Amazon Prime Day event.

Rhys-Davies, who played Lord Gimli Lockbearer in Peter Jackson's film trilogy, will once again voice the dwarven hero, as he is providing his vocal stylings to the upcoming co-op survival crafting title. "It's always fun to come back and think of the 'what-ifs', and the chance to work on this game is an exploration of one of the what-ifs, isn't it?" Rhys-Davies said of ...

Cyberpunk 2077, especially since the launch of Phantom Liberty, has one of the most vibrant and vivid visual styles in gaming. You take all that - the neon lights, the chunky guns, the endless miles of wires and cables - and strap it to the close-quarters, tactics-driven strategy of Firaxis’ iconic XCOM 2, and then add a dash of Payday 3, and its focus on robberies and heists, and this is the result. If you want a beautiful new Steam strategy sim, centered on stealth and cerebral planning, this ...

While many of the flashy, marquee mobility and transportation demos that go on at CES tend to be of the more... aspirational variety, Honda's electric cargo hauler, the Autonomous Work Vehicle (AWV), could soon find use on airport grounds as the robotic EV trundles towards commercial operations.  Honda first debuted the AWV as part of its CES 2018 companion mobility demonstration, then partnered with engineering firm Black & Veatch to further develop the platform.
