You can find the quotes about Half-Life: Alyx around the 23:45 mark in the video below. “I feel great a year out,” says Newell. “I think it’s been super helpful in terms of what do we do next. How do we continue to move VR forward, what are the opportunities in the space? In that sense it’s been hugely successful.” On the subject of its sales performance, Newell was vague, saying only that, “Everything we saw in terms of VR adoption - it had a positive impact there....

The gorgeous backgrounds have really caught my eye here. While the character designs look pretty different from Hollow Knight, some of the environments you travel through in Aeterna Noctis look startlingly similar to the bug-filled adventure. Developed by Aeternum Game Studios, Aeterna Noctis follows the story of a King Of Darkness and Queen Of Light who are cursed to battle forever. Your goal is to help him regain his power, and presumably do away with the nasty Chaos god that stripped it from him in the first place....

The most exciting one for me is Hades. It’ll be played by “Vorime”, a speedrunner I wrote about before after he beat in the game in under eight minutes. He’s beaten that time since, too, and now sits in the top five on the Hades speedrunning leaderboard. For AGDQ he’s doing an All Weapons run, which means he’ll have to beat the final boss and escape the underworld with each of the game’s six weapons, and he’ll have 2:20:00 to do it....

Sigourney Weaver might disagree, but she’s not here. Several marines with whopping great big guns are here instead. IGN went through a level from the game with some of the developers from Cold Iron Studios, check it out for yourself below. Right, so, have you ever noticed that the more Aliens there are, the easier they are to kill? In Alien: Isolation there’s just one (for the most part), and it does a fine job of senselessly murdering everyone....

Just check out this happy gamer right here playing on a phone, a television, and for some reason every screen in a bowling alley. Let’s not get carried away now, cloud gamers. Keep to screens that are actually yours, yeah? As for the service itself, early access pricing is $5.99 per month. That’ll net you unlimited hours of play time with their current library of games called Luna+ which will include Resident Evil 7, Control, Abzu, and several other options with more being added later....

The developer diary carries on with explaining some of the larger conflicts of the world. The Angry Earth (the name of one of the factions, it seems) are part of Aeternum’s self-defense system against those invading an colonizing it. I’ve found over the years that I often stick with MMOs and online games a lot longer if they’re set in universes that are already established. Elder Scrolls Online, Lord Of The Rings Online, etc....

Things were shakey from the start, of course. Crucible’s launch was a bit of a mess, lacking basic features like voice chat or a mini-map for the game’s sprawling maps. Things were looking grim one month later, with Relentless dropping two of the game’s three modes and delaying its first ranked season indefinitely. Fairly sound, then, that Crucible would retreat back into closed beta - the idea being that the devs would take revised look at the game, plan substantial reworks, and try this whole release thing again sometime later....

Unearthed by streamer Miss Gina Darling in AMD’s recently released Fortnite creative islands multiplayer map, the AMD Battle Arena, it looks like AMD’s ‘Big Navi’ GPUs will form a new series of RX 6000 graphics cards rather than continue AMD’s existing RX 5000 line. As you can see from the image below, there’s a plaque on the wall stating “Something Big is coming to the AMD Battle Arena!” along with “+6000” projected onto the wall below it....

Let’s start with a closer look at Revenent. We already got acquainted with the cyborg killing machine in the Season 4 launch trailer, but now we know his abilities. They come in different flavours of annoying: his regular ability does some damage and disables enemy abilities, while his ult is a resurrection totem that he and his allies teleport to when they’d normally be knocked down. His passive lets him crouch walk faster and climb walls higher....

Never sure entirely how I feel about basing a whole game around user-created content, but that’s the basis of Meet Your Maker. Players build forts, then set traps and shove in some tricked-out guards to stop anyone trying to raid them. Other players can rate your base like some kind of Loyd Grossman of the Apocalypse, so be sure to make it nice and deadly. If you get bored of setting up home in the wasteland then there’s the other half of the game to embark on: raiding....

From its original announcement trailer just below, Balan Wonderworld sure does look like a classic mascot platformer ’em up. Your two heroes Leo and Emma will collect a ton of different outfits to give them special puzzle-y abilities as they run and jump and collect shiny, gold treasures along each zone. There appear to be some pretty big boss fights along the way too. “The setting for this tale is the fantastic, imaginary land of Wonderworld; a place where people’s happy and positive memories mix with their restless worries and negativity,” Square Enix say....

Larian also shared some of their data on where players are dying, for those who enjoy looking at heatmaps and finding out “oh thank god it’s not just me hating that spot”. Larian release Patch 1 around 9:40pm last night. Come 11:17pm, they popped up to note: “Save progression is meant to be retained after applying the patch we launched today. We’re looking into reports that some of you are unable to load your saves....

Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance 2 is coming from original publishers Interplay Entertainment, who revived the name of the original developers, Black Isle Studios, for the creation of these re-releases. I never played this series back when it came out in 2004 because I had a GameCube, so you’ll have to let me know if they’re any good. Or I could always just find out for myself now they’re coming to PC....

“The Cheesie One has arrived!” Ubisoft tweeted. As if the skin itself wasn’t terrifying enough, they’re acting like he’s some sort of deity. On top of that, of ALL the pizza puns they could’ve done, The Cheesie One is the best phrase they could come up with? Mozzie-rella was right there, Ubisoft. I’m disappointed. We’re all disappointed. The Pizza Operator set comes with the above Pepporoni Cheese skin (and headgear) for Mozzie, as well as a gooey weapon skin and charm....
