I’m sure Imps, shotguns and lurking daemonic eyes don’t make it onto the estate agent listing for resale, of course. Featuring in Doom 2’s 16th map “Suburbs”, the rendition is pretty spot on. Oh, sure, the game’s early 3D visuals can’t accurately map the full range of surfaces and details. Vertical elements like stairs struggle a little more, and the entire upstairs has been largely removed. But there are creative workarounds and even secrets to discover, like a wall-mounted oven (or spooky demon face) unlocking an item cache (bathroom) when shot....

More strangely, today’s update also introduces experimental gamepad support. “From choosing your hero to smashing an Ancient, you can battle your way to victory in Dota by plugging in any PC controller that allows Steam Input (including PS/XBOX/Switch Pro Controllers and more) and steering your hero into the fray,” reads the announcement. Valve have been making changes to some of their older games recently seemingly to prepare them for next year’s release of the Steam Deck....

“As some of you already know, at the end of last year I decided to leave BioWare,” wrote Walters in a post announcing the move. “These past 19 years have been a life-changing experience to say the least, and it made the choice to go very difficult. I’ve worked with so many wonderful people and had the privilege to be a part of the most amazing teams and projects. It’s hard to fathom it all, and I know I’ll be reflecting on it for years to come....

Spice War is an RTS with “4X elements” where factions fight for control of Arrakis, a desert planet where… wait! A new Dune film came out! Loads more people have heard of Dune now! I don’t need to explain everything! Basically, this planet is the only source of magic drugs vital for space travel, and those drugs happen to be produced by a vast and hungry species of sandworm. And so, conflict and hazard....

I’m struggling to write Dark Alliance without whamming “Baldur’s Gate” in front of it. The old Dark Alliance games hold a pretty special place in my heart, they were my first RPGs and I have very fond memories of my nan teaching me how to play them. I still dig out the old PS2 for another playthrough every few years as well. So yeah, I guess you could say I’m looking forward to a new one....

Below we’ll answer the question of what Dying Light 2’s point of no return actually means, and whether you can keep playing the game after finishing the Epilogue. Can you keep playing Dying Light 2 after the final mission? Yes, you can keep playing Dying Light 2 after completing the final set of missions. Early on in the story mission “Assassination”, you are tasked to “Find a way to your ride”....

“After careful consultation with our member companies regarding the health and safety of everyone in our industry – our fans, our employees, our exhibitors, and our longtime E3 partners – we have made the difficult decision to cancel E3 2020,” the Entertainment Software Association said today. They do say they’re considering an online show for all the big announcements, though I’m sure we’d still hear them all if not. “Following increased and overwhelming concerns about the COVID-19 virus, we felt this was the best way to proceed during such an unprecedented global situation,” the ESA say on “E3’s site....

In a blog post, Xbox say that as of 9pm GMT (2pm PT) today, Xbox Game Pass For PC members will have access to EA Play’s library of games, including good’uns like the Titanfall games, the Dragon Age series, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. EA Play (formerly Origin Access) would normally cost £4 a month by itself, giving members access to a decent catalogue of older games, as well as 10-hour trials of the publisher’s newest stuff at launch....

I’ll not explain the newness because it’s a game of discovery, but I will relay what the patch notes say: On the balance front, shields are buffed, all offensive Cracked Pot items deal more damage, some sorceries have lower FP costs, some sorceries deal more damage, and some sorceries both cost less FP and deal more damage. But the Hoarfrost Stomp, a mighty Ash of War (used heavily in that 29-minute speedrun), has both reduced damage and higher cast time....

In his absence, Nate and I talk about some proper good villains, and even discuss some sensible things like evil cartoon monsters vs. villains you can sort of sympathise with. Handsome Jack? GLaDOS? LeChuck? Andrew Ryan? That’s one hell of an awkward dinner party. Plus stick around for a Cavern Of Lies that proves Warhammer 40k is essentially the same as Tumblr. You can listen above, or on on Spotify, iTunes, Stitcher, or Pocket Casts....

At this stage of the process Epic have not raised specific objections. Sunday’s notice of appeal (uploaded by The Verge) is the barebones legal equivalent of “Oh yeah? We’ll see about that!” I eagerly await Apple’s response of “I know you are, but what am I?” The California court ruled on the sprawling app store legal battle over on Friday. They ruled that Epic slamming their own payment system into Fortnite iOS was a breach of their contract with Apple, and they’d need to pay 30% of the revenue collected through it (around $3....

In a document spotted by GameDiscoverCo founder Simon Carless, you can see a list of all the free games Epic released on their store between December 2018 and September 2019, as well as the whopping amounts of money they spent on each one. According to Carless, this doc is amongst a few that were accidentally released early. They were briefly removed, but seem to be back up now. You can find the full doc right here (which has the lovely header “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY”), amongst loads of other documents pertaining to the court case....

Though EU4 first launched in 2013, we still say it’s one of the best strategy games. Paradox have released oodles of expansions and updates across the years, in their usual way, and even recently opened a new studio whose first mission would be to keep working on EU4. That… did not start out so strong. The latest EU4 expansion, Leviathan, earned 91% negative reviews from players on Steam earlier this year....

Uprising’s big feature is a rework of factional warfare, tipped for the game earlier this year. Unveiling the roadmap up until November, CCP said the changes aim to “evolve Factional Warfare into a more intense and exciting combat playstyle”. Expect more incentives to fight for your chosen empire, more ways to contribute to war efforts, and new events that bring more campaign objectives to players enlisting with an empire. You can read more about some of the upcoming changes here in more detail here....

As spotted by PC Gamer, trouble started sometime on January 27th when the official Twitter account dedicated to reporting Eve Online’s server status said that another DDOS attack had cut off connection between one of Eve’s servers and the game. Updates from the same account have continued almost daily as CCP work to restore chat functionality and get players back online. Unlike other online games that may suffer login server issues, getting shut out of Eve can be particularly disruptive for pilots as the persistent world carries on, leaving them unable to respond to attacks on their hard-won fleets....
