Our reviewer Lauren Morton called Greedfall “adequate” when she reviewed the RPG from by French studio Spiders, saying its systems “parrot those of successful RPGs, but they’re all a bit thin.” The studio has higher hopes for its sequel, which is scheduled for release in the summer of 2024. In a first for Spiders, it’ll be coming out in early access.

“Greedfall 2 is certainly a much more ambitious game than the first one,” said producer Reda Isber during a recent livestream as part of Nacon Connect. “And so early access seemed like the right path to take. We’re relying heavily on early access to collect player feedback and see if we’re heading in the right direction.”

Jehanne Rousseau, CEO of Spiders and lead writer of Greedfall, explained that Greedfall 2’s new combat syste…

Revealed during today’s Summer Game Fest showcase, Tears of Metal is a roguelike co-op hack-and-slasher in which a battalion of angry Scottish warriors (because they’re always angry) butcher their way through massive hordes of enemies who have invaded their island, driven by the dark, dangerous powers of the Dragon Stone Meteor.

Players will have access to multiple unique characters and more than 100 “artifacts” that can be combined with powerful upgrades to create “distinctive and devastating builds.” Your stalwart soldiers gain experience between campaigns that will enable permanent upgrades, but the flip side of that coin is that permadeath is a problem: If they go down, they stay down.

There’s a little bit of management involved, too. When you’re not doing battl…

Nvidia’s penchant for redesigning its GPUs to get around US export restrictions has seemingly been directly called out by the US Commerce Secretary, with a warning that when such a redesign is created, “I’m going to control it the very next day.”

Since 2022, US chip sanctions have continued to make life somewhat difficult for manufacturers looking to export their products to certain countries, chief among them being China. However, that hasn’t stopped Nvidia from attempting to work its way around the export bans by releasing products that circumvent the current restrictions, introducing slightly redesigned models produced exclusively for the Chinese market. 

It’s been an entertaining power play, but US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo appears to have had her fill of the…

Ubisoft might be acting all fashionably late to the multiplayer shooter party, but its forthcoming XDefiant looks like it will be accessible to just about every gamer out there, thanks to having some of the lowest PC system requirements I’ve seen in years.

Let’s start with the entry point, the minimum specs Ubisoft suggests will run XDefiant. A CPU with four cores and eight threads will be good enough, as will a 4GB graphics card from eight years ago. Even 8GB of system RAM is fine and yes, it really is 2024—you haven’t drifted back in time while you were sleeping.

Whether XDefiant is actually playable on such hardware is a different thing altogether and I’m not a fan of minimum hardware requirements in general. The recommended system requirements seem more re…

Remnant 2’s been an unexpected hit, knocking out everything except CS:GO on Steam’s top seller list yesterday, in spite of some thorny performance issues that have made upscaling a necessity. On the whole, however, most fans seem happy with a sequel that’s more, but better. There’s a fly in the multiverse ointment, though: the game’s respec costs are weirdly high.

The official subreddit has been buzzing with issues surrounding Remnant 2’s trait system. In the first game, traits acted as a continuous grind, giving you minor boosts to your stats with no cap on how many you could stack up. 

Remnant 2 takes a different tactic, capping your trait points at 60 to make those choices more meaningful. This allows the developers to add stronger traits to the game without fretting…

With Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 due out this year, The Chinese Room continues to let us sip the game’s veins, today giving us a better look at one of the undead clans: the Brujah. These leather-loving vamps are the rebels of vampire society, and were the first clan revealed by both Hardsuit Labs in the sequel’s original incarnation, and again by The Chinese Room.  

Picking a Brujah vamp means you’re going to be a frontline fighter with a shitty attitude, always looking for a scrap. The Brujah were initially warrior scholars, but in the modern world they are known more for being impetuous and short-tempered. Expect a very in-your-face kinda playstyle. 

In combat, you’re going to be furiously punching and feeding. Brujah abilities include Taunt, whe…

It seems that we haven’t heard the last of Commander Zavala in Destiny 2: In a tribute to voice actor Lance Reddick, who died unexpectedly last week at age 60, Bungie confirmed there are still “performances yet to come in the game.”

Reddick had an impressive career in movies and television, and he also appeared in a number of high-profile games, including Quantum Break, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Horizon Forbidden West. But it’s fair to say that he’s best known in games as Commander Zavala, the big cheese in Destiny—not just for his stoic, commanding presence in the Tower, but also because he was an enthusiastic player who clearly enjoyed interacting with fans.

“As the voice of Commander Zavala—the stalwart commander of the Vanguard—Lance brought to life a char…
