Despite being a forebearer to the first-person shooter/horror genre that the likes of BioShock brought to popularity, the System Shock franchise has been in shambles for a while. Multiple remake attempts of the originals exist, including a 2017 Kickstarter that’s been put on hold and restarted multiple times, though supposedly slated for a 2020 release.

On the eve of a game launch, it’s hard not to get nostalgic about the journey that brought us here. For the team at Tripwire, it started with a goal: if we’re going to make an open world game, it has to be something special; something uniquely Tripwire. Even in its simplest form, playing as

We’ve all been there: running around with outstretched palms, firing imaginary repulsor blasts at unseen adversaries as we soar across make-believe skies. Why settle for imaginary when PlayStation VR lets you live it? Today, we’re excited to announce that the PlayStation VR Marvel’s Iron Man VR Bundle is launching alongside the PS VR exclusive game

In a world of season passes and year-long content roll-outs, it isn’t out of the question to wonder how and what the price of said content will be. This gets even stickier when it comes to “Games As a Service” styled games that attempt to provide huge chunks of content for older games, akin to

It’s not always easy to find the Castlevania soundtrack you’re looking for when you need it. YouTube can only provide so much in terms of quality and playlist selection. Thankfully, Konami has rectified the situation with its Konami Europe Spotify account. At the time of writing, the Konami Europe account features a total of 12

Hi! I’m Mikkel, Creative Director of Trailmakers. I’m excited to bring you some breaking news: We are launching on PS4 tomorrow! The idea for Trailmakers started a long time ago. In the days of 2D Flash games, we made a game that had many of the same components that Trailmakers has. You had a little

Update: Kotaku managed to get a response from Epic. Effectively the PS3 build was for testing being done for the Unreal Engine 3, using both Gears of War and Unreal Tournament (hence the Unreal logo on the PS3 dashboard for the game). It was not part of any wider plans to bring the game to

A Limited Edition PS4 Pro for The Last of Us Part II will launch on the same day as the game. It’s a rather impressive piece of hardware, too. Ellie’s butterfly and fern tattoo adorn the Steel Black machine, but it’s not a mere sticker or painted-on design. The butterfly and fern pattern appears embossed—fully

Golf With Your Friends can be both a relaxing adventure and a competitive blast! Either way you choose, I hope these tips below can help you get all those amazing shots and really impress your friends! Houston, we have a hole in one! Gravity is just some tricky magic, but if you use it just

We’re all counting down the days till we rejoin Ellie in her journey next month, and today, we are thrilled to announce the Limited Edition The Last of Us Part II PlayStation 4 Pro bundle, which will launch alongside the game on June 19, 2020. This special bundle features a fully customized matte finish PS4

Shut up. Stop talking. No, really. This is very important. Are you listening? Prepare yourself: Wrecking Ball from Overwatch is getting a mustache. I know, there is no greater news today and nothing else matters. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has a huge map? Boring. Ghost of Tsushima is 50 GB? Pfft. There may–or may not be–a

Long-distance relationships are tough! Living apart from someone you love is never easy, whether it’s because of career choices, school, or family (or a global pandemic locking everyone in their homes). Communication is harder and emotions get amplified. Before starting Lightning Rod Games, I experienced these emotional ups and downs myself as I was living

Shortly after Ubisoft unveiled Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, one developer claimed the game wouldn’t be the franchise’s biggest or longest. It seems, however, that such a comment may not be entirely true. In terms of the map size at least, AC Valhalla could very well eclipse the breadth of AC Odyssey. In an interview with Julien Chièze, Valhalla

Digital Lode is back with Assimilation — an update to the base game that adds loads of new weapons, modes, and improvements. It is also entirely free for all owners of Espire 1: VR Operative for PS VR. With this update, we wanted to bring more polish to how the game controls and looks, as

Ubisoft took Apple and Google to court on Friday over their failure to remove a Rainbow Six Siege clone from their mobile app stores, according to Bloomberg. In a complaint filed in a federal court in Los Angeles, Ubisoft called Area F2 a “near carbon copy” of its hit title and said that such are the

Star Wars Battlefront II received its final content update towards the end of April but over 50,000 fans (at the time of this writing) have signed a petition urging DICE to release more paid downloadable content to keep it going. “Star Wars Battlefront II is one of the greatest video game redemption stories of all

Thanks in part to the lockdowns stemming from the spread of COVID-19, U.S. video game spending in the first quarter of 2020 reached the highest quarterly total in the country’s history. According to a report by the NPD Group, U.S. video game spending between January and March 2020 totaled $10.86 billion – a year-on-year increase

Courtesy of TT Games, players on PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam can get The LEGO NINJAGO Movie Video Game free until May 21, 2020. While the company didn’t explicitly mention the COVID-19 pandemic as the reason they are giving it away, the tweet announcing the details had the #playathome and #playtogether hashtags. Developers and

Choose your weapon and get ready for ridiculous amounts of cartoony violence in Gorn, an over-the-top gladiatorial playground coming to PlayStation VR. Want to make this one even goofier? (Yes, it’s possible!) Simply activate Piñata Mode and watch the confetti fly. But that’s not all! Other highlights landing at PlayStation Store next week include The

Partway through the Unreal Engine 5 demo on PlayStation 5, the character squeezes through a rock crevice for a fair few seconds. Many viewers perceived it as a loading trick often seen in many games. Such a trick slows player progression in an enclosed space, allowing the game to load upcoming spaces and assets in

Hello everyone, it’s now been a couple of months since the release of Nioh 2 and a lot has happened since then, to say the least. First of all, I’d like to thank all of our fans around the world for helping to make our latest (Sengoku era) masocore game become such a critically acclaimed

One of the defining aspects of Resident Evil 3 is, without a doubt, the hulking stalker that trails Jill throughout the game. Nemesis is not only one of the most memorable enemies from Resident Evil history, but perhaps one of the most recognizable monsters in all of video game history. I’m pleased to announce that,

Respawn Entertainment celebrated its 10th anniversary this week. As such, studio head Vince Zampella spoke with IGN extensively about the team’s past and future. In doing so, Zampella revealed that another Titanfall entry is not presently in production, despite previous on-again off-again rumors that it might be. The studio does have a different type of surprise

For a long time now, we’ve been hearing about SSD (solid-state drives) being the biggest leap going into the next generation of consoles. Both Microsoft and Sony will both have them in the Xbox Series X and PS5 respectively, but Sony’s Mark Cerny has talked about special architecture on the PS5 SSD that makes it

With Ion Fury coming out on PS4 tomorrow, we wanted to give everyone a peek behind the scenes by diving into one of the game’s most important features, its unique level design philosophy! Every Build Engine game has a Level Design philosophy and a set of rules. One of the most important ones is this:

We hope you’re taking care of yourselves, staying safe, and making solid progress on your back catalog of games.  The Last of Us Part II is by far the largest and most ambitious game we’ve ever made and there will be so much for you to dig into when it arrives on June 19th. Leading

In Skully, players will visit a lush island paradise virtually untouched by mankind. Sweeping vistas, active volcanoes, and expansive mountain ranges are in great abundance, though the sanctity of this peaceful place is at risk of being destroyed due to an ongoing familial conflict between the four elemental beings that oversee the island.  Unable to

Hello, fellow fighters. We at NetherRealm are super excited to continue to fulfill everyone’s 80’s movie robot dreams with the addition of RoboCop in Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath, our exciting, new expansion.

Experience much more for less with PlayStation Store’s Extended Play promotion, which begins tomorrow. This digital sale gathers games that come packed with extensive expansions or tantalizing DLC to give you more of the experiences you’re enjoying. That includes the Gold Edition of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, which expands Ubisoft’s sprawling open-world action RPG with three

Imagine for a moment if somebody blended the brutal efficiency of Hotline Miami with the tactical mind play of XCOM and then wrapped it all in John Wick theming. That’s the basic idea behind John Wick Hex, which effectively puts players into the mind of John Wick himself as he analyzes each situation moment to
