Top news

  • Assassin's Creed Unity — Lead dev Jean Guesdon called it the most underrated game in the series, admitting the launch was a "huge ordeal" due to bugs. He highlighted the 1:1 scale Paris, new parkour system, and multiplayer that were overlooked. Now that bugs are patched, it's worth a second look.
  • Palworld — A new mod adds Lumen ray tracing and dynamic shadows, activating UE5's full global illumination with hardware RT. It also brings crisp dynamic shadows for foliage and reworked LODs for far draw distances. Grab it on NexusMods.
  • The Finals — The game got a full PvE mode with smart bots in Cashout tournaments, before ARC Raiders even received one. Fans of ARC Raiders are upset, as they've begged for PvE for nine months while Embark Studios dropped it in their other shooter first. The studio insists on PvP risks for ARC Raiders, with PvE only tested in China.
  • Assassin's Creed Black Flag — Creative director Paul Fu recalled how fans initially hated Edward Kenway for not looking like a classic assassin, but the gamble paid off. However, gamers argue Black Flag was an instant hit, especially after the boring third entry. The remake Resynced shipped 2 million copies in 24 hours and broke the series' concurrent player record on Steam.
  • Half-Life 2 — Valve designer Chuck Wilson rebuilt Ravenholm on Source 2 and was blown away by the engine's power. No more hours-long light baking, real-time shadows, procedural tools auto-stitch assets, and shaders instantly apply dirt, blood, and rust. His work is already out there to see.

Now they're changing tactics with a detailed preview of the first major update coming soon, focusing on LIVE workflows with no final graphics.
  • Onimusha — CAPCOM is reimagining Onimusha on the RE Engine, ditching weapon swapping for a single katana with deep parry and counter mechanics.

  • Fallout: New Vegas — Josh Sawyer revealed why the game punished players who rushed in head-first: Obsidian ditched Fallout 3's enemy scaling. Danger depends on your destination, not level, inspired by the original Fallout. The Deathclaw Quarry was a lesson that not every path is safe.
  • Silent Hill: Downpour — A fan is building a native PC port with a cut boss fight. Modder Psycho found an unfinished boss battle removed by Vatra Games and plans to fully restore it. The port will be a standalone Windows app with 4K, ultrawide support, and uncapped FPS.

  • Obsidian Entertainment — Veteran Brandon Adler fired back at those burying the studio after 50+ layoffs, insisting the identity behind Fallout: New Vegas and The Outer Worlds stayed intact.
