The developers of Soulslike Bleak Faith: Forsaken have hit back at critics claiming it stole animations from FromSoftware. A number of images and videos have been shared online with side-by-side comparisons of the animations used in Bleak Faith and Elden Ring, which admittedly do look identical.

A third, secret, weapon has been discovered in the Resident Evil 4 Remake’s demo. If players are canny, they can come across the TMP (or, ‘tactical machine pistol’). This weapon holds 50 rounds at once, and makes things a lot easier for those pitting themselves against the hoards of parasite-infested villagers. To get hold of this weapon in the demo, you will need to discard everything in your inventory before getting to the village.

The previously-promised patch for Kerbal Space Program 2 should be arriving on 16th March. In a recent update, creative director Nate Simpson stated the KSP2 team is continuing to make “good headway on performance improvement and bug squashing”. This has meant that, in addition to the previous list of upcoming fixes, the developer has managed to “sneak” a few more improvements into KSP2’s first patch. These include “a fairly high-impact resource flow optimisation” and a fix for the “‘Kraken Drive’ bug that created insane reverse thrust when an engine’s nozzle was obstructed”.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) has once again broken its all-time concurrent PC user peak, 11 years after it launched on Steam, and just a month after setting the last record. The shooter – which has been around in one form or another for over 20 years at this point – recently surpassed its own concurrent record, hitting an all-time peak of 1.32 million players last month. In a tweet on the game’s official Twitter account over the weekend, the team thanked its 1.4m Twitter followers for “organising and playing CS:GO concurrently today”, which was a very smooth segue into noting…
Amazon Games has outlined a little more about Lost Ark’s all-new advanced class, Artist, including an explanation about why it chose to “make localisation updates” that modified Artists skins to make them less sexualised and “better fit Western norms”. The first in an “entirely new class category” called Specialists, the Artist is “capable of tactical versatility with illusion powers, and specialises in supporting her team”. “The Artist’s Class identity is built around the Harmony Meter Identity Gauge,” Amazon explains. “Landing skills on enemies will fill up three Harmony Orbs which can be used to cast two Identity Skills – Moonfall…
We already knew that Endnight’s early access survival horror Sons of the Forest has been a big hit – it almost instantly blew up on Steam, and managed to sell “over two million copies in the first 24 hours” – but now that success is tipping over into its fan-favourite predecessor, too. As detailed on the PS Blog, predecessor The Forest has seen a spike in player count, too, proving to be a favourite for players on Sony consoles as well as PC. Whilst the game has been, admittedly, consistently popular, since the release of Sons of the Forest, the…
“So you’ve come.”The capsule sits alone, sealed in an abandoned portion of the tunnel beneath the snow. As X approaches, the device comes to life. It lights up, and slides open. A life-size projection of Dr Light, creator of Mega Man X, appears. There’s no greeting, no hint of joy in the normally jovial face. Instead, the expression is stern, severe even, when it says the words, “So you’ve come”.In video games, there is an implicit understanding that you, as the player, and the on-screen protagonist, your digital counterpart, are on the same side. You are unified by a common…
Tactical first-person shooter, Lemnis Gate, is closing down. Whilst the shooter was only released in September 2021, developer Ratloop Game partnered with publisher Frontier to confirm the closure, saying the game will be pulled from sale on 11th April 2023, and shut down completely on 11th July 2023. “We want to thank you all for your support with Lemnis Gate, joining us for many incredible rounds in the loop,” the statement said – the game’s first Steam update since December 2021. “We’ve truly loved seeing your passion for the game, the mind-bending strategies you created and how you embraced this…
Square Enix has revealed that it devised a Chrono Cross remaster project when the company began to fear that the classic 1999 game would be lost to the ages and “unplayable” on modern systems. In a new interview, the game’s original director Masato Kato and composer Yasunori Mitsuda acknowledged that whilst originally a way to commemorate the RPG’s 20th anniversary, the Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition also sought to ensure the game would be playable in the future even without backwards compatibility. “Back when the project was launched, Chrono Cross was possibly going to become unplayable,” remaster producer Koichiro…
Overwatch 2’s commercial lead and vice president, Jon Spector, is leaving Blizzard after six years with the company. Whilst Spector has not indicated his next steps nor revealed who’ll be taking over his position, he did confirm his departure on his personal Twitter account, insisting that the franchise would remain “in great hands” with colleagues Aaron Keller and Jared Neuss. “After 6 amazing years, I’ve decided to hang up my sword and am leaving Blizzard at the end of March,” Spector announced in a Twitter thread (thanks, TheGamer). “Working on Overwatch has been the highlight of my career – Team…
