Following from its release on PlayStation, Xbox and PC last year, publisher Microids has announced that Oddworld: Soulstorm is coming to Switch. Specially ‘oddtimised’ to run on the Switch’s hardware, the game follows series protagonist Abe after the events of Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty. Although the release date hasn’t been announced yet, preorders are now open for the physical Limited and Collector’s Odditions, the latter of which includes an exclusive nine-inch figurine of Abe and a 160-page artbook. Any pre-orders from participating retailers of the Limited or Collector’s Odditions will also include the game’s OST and a digital artbook. Sounds…
If you found yourself impressed by Lego’s recently unveiled Mighty Bowser set but couldn’t quite shake the feeling something was missing – say, around 13ft – then Nintendo has you covered. As part of San Diego Comic-Con, the company has constructed an absolute behemoth Mighty Bowser, measuring over 14ft tall. The retail version of Mighty Bowser is, of course, already pretty sizeable, weighing in at 2,807 pieces, making it the largest Lego Mario adult set yet. However, the San Diego version absolutely crushes that like a sudden Thwomp to the bonce, utilising over 663,900 bricks to create its magnificent heft.…
Just as Netflix’s live-action Resident Evil series finds itself flung unceremoniously onto the ‘disappointment’ pile, news arrives of another video game being adapted for television – this time in the form of Obsidian’s inch-high garden adventure Grounded. Released into early access back in July 2020, Grounded adapts the familiar gathering-and-crafting survival formula into a rollicking family friendly adventure inspired by the likes of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and A Bug’s Life. Here, players are miniaturised and sent on a conspiracy laden escapade around their now-towering backyard, forced to fend off giant insects and other creatures as they explore, scavenge,…
Fall Guys players have a phallic treat awaiting them in their inventories right now, with developer Mediatonic handing out troublingly elongated Tall Guys to one and all following its recent, widely publicised cock-up. Fall Guys’ Tall Guys disemination doesn’t, admittedly, appear to be directly related to the recent snafu – which saw players recieving snotty customer service responses after a bug in the game caused them to auto-buy cosmetics – but developer Mediatonic presumably won’t say no to the positive publicity right now. One look at the image accompanying Mediatonic’s promise of a “BIG surprise” for all Fall Guys players…

A new report states that Russia is looking into making its own game engine. This comes as support from other companies has been pulled following Putin’s barbaric invasion of Ukraine. The report by Kommersant (via PC Gamer) states that “a number of major players in the Russian IT market including VK” [Russia’s own Facebook alternative] are currently in talks with the Ministry of Digital Development to create a “domestic game engine (a means of developing video games) and the possibility of allocating state funding for it.”Talks regarding this new engine began in May, when Russian developers allegedly voiced their concerns…
The developer of PowerWash Simulator has told players not to look at the sun, in order to avoid a game-crashing bug. This bug is linked to the game’s lens flare, developer FuturLab has said, and can occur on Xbox consoles when playing in multiplayer. Reducing the amount of time you look at the sun “isn’t a great workaround”, the developer admitted via a post to Twitter. But until a hotfix (sorry) is rolled out, it’s all there is. And, y’know, not looking directly at the sun is just solid advice in general. Read more Source – eurogamer.net All content and…
Unity boss John Riccitiello has apologised for calling developers that don’t prioritise monetisation in the creative process “fucking idiots”. Earlier this week, Riccitiello was slammed for stating that mobile developers who don’t seek to squeeze monetisation from their smartphone games represented only “a very small portion of the gaming industry”, calling them “the most beautiful and pure, brilliant people” that were also “some of the biggest fucking idiots”. After insisting the interview was “clickbait” and “out of context”, Riccitiello has now apologised for his “crude word choice” and said if he had been “smart in choosing [his] words” he would…
