Brother moons are awake Dead Space 3has barely been out 24 hours, but that hasn’t stopped Visceral Games from getting started on developing their next game. DesignerWarren Price took to Twitter earlier todayand announced that the studio is already brainstorming for their next project. That’s not an official confirmation ofDead Space 4, mind you. Visceral could very well be working on a followup to their 2010 release,Dante’s Inferno,(yes please) or anything else for that matter....

The Microsoft press conference was a decent showing. There may not have been any crazy new announcements, but the conference itself was entertaining and well-paced. A solid, if not spectacular, briefing. Also, I may havekind ofliked Usher. Maybe. I mean, I didn’thatehim. Maybe … okay, I am not sure how I felt about Usher. But he was dancing! I can confirm that! Here is a recap of all the major news during the event:...

On April 9, EA Motive, the studio behind theDead Space 1remake, wasreassignedto work on the Battlefield series. Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubreported, “They were working onDead Space 2, and they are no longer working on it. It is on the shelf because the first game had lackluster sales is how it was phrased to me....

Can be modified for monetization or retention A few months back two patent applications submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office by Electronic Arts surfaced online. Both of these patents were filed on July 28, 2025 and dealt with dynamically altering the player experience. One of the patents dealt withdynamically changing the difficultyof a game to better keep players interested. They would achieve this mostly by adjusting difficulty without your consent so that you don’t get stuck on a boss and end up quitting the game....

But a bull for average settings PC players who are looking to systematically dismantle a cult inFar Cry 5won’t need too much from their system to make it happen. But, those who want to look the best while doing it will need a rig that’s crazier than Eden’s Gate’s leader. Ubisoft has revealedFar Cry 5‘s PC specs today and they’re all over the place. They range from pretty dang reasonable to nearly top of the line....

I hope you weren’t expecting anything extra with the return ofFinal Fantasy X, announced at last year’s Sony press conference at TGS. Square Enix’s Shinji Hashimoto answered some fan questions at the Taipei Game Show and made it clear there that the upcoming Vita and PS3 re-release of this game would be a “remaster.” This means that we’ll probably get a cleaned up, maybe up-rezzed version of the PS2 RPG, and not a total reworking....

The kids are all right A few weeks ago, I was set loose in an early section ofFinal Fantasy XVahead of E3, and I still have Florence and the Machine’s cover of “Stand by Me” buzzing around my head. The sweeping track isn’t just intended fortrailers or commercials— it’s also in the game proper. It played as Prince Noctis and crew’s car broke down and I manually pushed it to a not-at-all-close rest stop....

I knew he wasn’t that wholesome Dennis Quaid has made a career of acting like a wholesome dude that you’d gladly let be a surrogate father to your children. That was clearly all a lie as in the first trailer forThe Intruderwe see him go full on psychotic against a lovely young couple. Dennise Quaid is a scary human being. Honestly, if this movie didn’t have Quaid in it I wouldn’t even be writing this right now....

Internally, we all tried to guess what the game was from the showing’s vague desert landscape shots, before it got to the cars, and we kept coming up short. “Red Dead!Crackdown! Wait, no, it’s justForza.” The game is due out on July 18, 2025 for Xbox One and Windows 10 with 700 cars at launch....

Illfonic has releaseda new updatefor their asymmetrical game about ghosts and ghosbusting,Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed. This one is sort of low key, but it does contain some new cosmetic items. The first of the two big cosmetic additions is the ability to skin the Slimer type ghost to look like either the originalGhostbusterspuppet or the familiar rascal fromThe Real Ghostbusters. This is a nice addition, though I’m surprised it took this long....
