It may be interesting to wonder what could have been, but history has proven that BioWare made the right choice. Getting to pay attention to their own projects has allowed them to grow and even later to return to some passion projects like their collaborations with LucasArts. It may be sad to many fans that we didn't see the original vision of the KOTOR series continued, but the developers did what they needed to do. BioWare never owed fans a sequel, and it's great that we got two great games, even if the sequel wasn't the original concept.

Outer Worlds ends with an epilogue similar to Fallout: New Vegas’, with a narrator explaining how you shaped Halcyon’s future. Unlike Fallout, The Outer Worlds offers a pretty clearly “good” and “evil” final choice, not a handful of morally varied options. My good decision, though, made me feel surprisingly small. Yes, I had technically saved Halcyon. But I’d done it by nudging the levers in a system that was far too big to control, then watching the effects play out once they were too late to stop. I didn’t feel like a hero forging my own destiny — just a cog turning the wheels of history, like everybody else.

We already knew there was a chance EA would bring Dragon Age 4 to the EA Play event. The word is that they're hoping to release the game sometime in 2022, and so far we've seen nothing of it but some location images and concept art. We're going to need a little more than that if we're going to get hyped.

With e1.6.0 available in beta and e1.5.10 on its way to live soon, we thought it'd be a good time to share another development update to discuss the latest changes to the game. So, here we are, Development Update #8…let's do it!

Click to expand...

Hello everyone! Version 1.15 of KotC 2 Augury of Chaos is now available for download here for both Windows and macOS. The main changes are many bug fixes, hundreds of new character icons for NPC dialogue, and extra content in the tutorial module.

For now, the tutorial module ends soon after you meet the merchants. Play with a male Human or Elf to see a bit more dialogue when the party rests at the campfire. As for the Augury of Chaos module, for now you still need to rest two times at the inn then talk to the bailiff to start the goblin attack on the village.

More often than not, western role-playing games emphasize two genres�fantasy and science fiction. Developer Obsidian Entertainment and publisher Sega dared to pursue a different path with their self-proclaimed espionage RPG Alpha Protocol. Yet, in its ambitious attempt to forge a new style of role-playing title, Obsidian faced myriad challenges that ultimately diminished the overall quality of the final product. In turn, Alpha Protocol garnered lukewarm reviews upon release and, consequently, failed to move the needle on the sales charts.

Let’s also not forget that Cyberpunk 2077 also legitimately failed to meet some of its own expectations. Dialogue options ended up not leading to quite as wide an array of outcomes as the CDPR seemed to imply they would, and most of the better action sequences take place in scripted moments rather than out in the wild, and most of them will be encountered regardless of which life path you choose. That’s not to say the game isn’t a massive, sprawling world full of different ways to experience it, but at the same time, it’s not the revolution in open-world games that many feel they were led to believe it would be. No number of patches can really change this. But the most egregious part of all of this is the fact that the expectations of the game and thusly CDPR are now much lower than they used to be. Their next game, whatever that is, will now be met with the trepidation and hesitation that Cyberpunk 2077 probably should have had.

We're rolling out a new content update. The main features of this update are new psi abilities for the three psionic schools of the base game, new items, and an alternative entrance into the Institute of Tchort, which becomes available at the appropriate time.

We also added an interesting new dungeon that can be accessed from somewhere in the Upper Underrail, so you might want to revisit those areas again.

I won't spoil the psi abilities; you'll have to find them out yourself. We haven't added any new temporal manipulation psi abilities, but we're likely to do that in a later update. The problem with TM is that it's designed to be limited in its offensive capabilities, in a sense that it's meant to deal its damage through a single delayed effect. And on the other hand, it's already overloaded with utility. This makes it quite hard to come up with something that would fit well into the school without making it even more unreasonably useful. We have some ideas, but they will need more developing.

We are due for just one more content update before we shift fully to the Infusion project. From that point onwards there will be minor addition to the game, at least until the Infusion is released. But more on that in the next dev log.

Art is a critical part of what makes Diablo, well… Diablo. Our signature randomized dungeons would not feel like Diablo without the ominous lighting setting the mood as players uncover horrifying details around every dark corner. Combat only feels visceral thanks to carefully crafted animations and visual effects that make spells and abilities sing. And while stats might make or break an item, we often can’t wait to get our hands on a piece of gear purely because of how incredible it looks.

Shortly after the flurry of E3 2021 announcements died down, Piranha Bytes and THQ Nordic came forward with the reveal of ELEX II, the sequel to the 2017 open world roleplaying game set in a post-apocalyptic world where magic and technology both have a strong place.

The game isn't too far off its release date (Steam even briefly listed it for 2021, though that was replaced with 'Coming Soon' and THQ Nordic PR said launching this year is a goal that isn't ensured yet), so we gladly took the chance to send a list of questions about ELEX II to the developers.

I decided to do away with the scroll wheel actions and focus on simple context based actions similar to how it works in Ultima 7. I was rather fond of the scroll wheel actions, but had to face the fact that it really wasn't a good user experience with this type of game , especially when it comes to combat.

"The first Darkest Dungeon, the further you go down, the worse and worse and worse it gets," says Red Hook co-founder and creative director Chris Bourassa. Chris is about to convince me that this game about the end of the world, full of lost souls and horrifying monsters, is actually about hope. Darkest Dungeon 2 is a road trip, a roguelike mash-up of Darkest Dungeon and The Oregon Trail about clawing your way out of the darkness, rather than descending ever deeper into it.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous development is in its final stages. And soon the third and the last beta test will begin! We are expecting the final beta to start in the middle of July, but we wanted to warn you that it will most definitely affect your saves! Saved games from the previous beta won’t be compatible with the new update!

Why does it happen? As we update our game, adding new content and removing placeholders, or fixing bugs, some links to old blueprints (an aggregate of certain data in Unity) in your saved games become invalid. And your old saves either won’t load or will work incorrectly if you manage to load them. That’s why we decided to warn you in advance, so you’d have time to finish the beta before it updates.

We greatly appreciate your help in making our game better! Thank you for your support and feedback, and stay tuned for more news about the final stage of beta!

Hi there! I'm Philippe Mesotten, GRAVEN's master of gore, explosions and everything that sparks, a.k.a. VFX artist.

Real time visual effects are not only the cherry on top of everything else, but are also used to better convey gameplay elements towards the player. By combining elements from texturing, modeling, tech-art and animation, you can conjure up all sorts of interesting illusions to breathe life into the game world.

I've worked on all kinds of games, ranging from tiny indie to AAA, for all kinds of platforms including VR. But GRAVEN's artstyle is one I had never tackled before. However, I have fallen in love with it ever since Frederik Schreiber asked me to help Slipgate Ironworks on a new thingy they were brewing.
