Image: BioWare This will no doubt be an upset, and I’d say, “Hear me out,” but I know plenty of people will not do that. To be clear: Garrus is one of the best characters in the Mass Effect series, but he is also one of the most uneven characters in the trilogy. To get the good out of the way first, the Turian vigilante is one of the most charming, memorable, and likable characters...
We don’t know much about what we’ll be doing inThe Witcher 4 whenever it arrives, but it looks like an encounter with a character called Branko can be added to that list. That’s according to the online CV of the actor who appears to be playing him in the game currently codenamed Polaris. Assuming it’s not an error of some kind, this would be second character confirmed to be showing up the game, following Geralt,...
Halo 2 had a bit of a troubled development, and now a couple of important designers have shared their perspective on working on it. It’s well known by this point that there was a lot of crunch on Halo 2 – the first game had been a big success, and Bungie was growing, but not in a way that provided support in all the ways that were needed. Devs have previously spoken about their...
Another week, another Nintendo announcement, except yet again it has nothing to do with that Switch 2 we’re all waiting on. It feels like Nintendo might be playing a bit of a prank on all of us at the moment, as while we’re all waiting for a reveal of the Switch 2, or the successor to the Switch as the company typically refers to it as, it’s busy revealing all sorts of other...
I’ve been spending much of my time in Pokemon TCG Pocket battling other players, especially as I wait 12 hours for another pack to become available. Doing so, I’ve seen truly unfortunate disasters. Sometimes it’s me hitting countless tails with my Marowak EX deck. Sometimes it’s the enemy Misty card never ever hitting heads. I’ve seen turn 2 concedes. I’ve seen turn 1 concedes! Such is the joy of a card game that relies, in...
Bong Joon-ho’s (of Parasite> fame) next movie, an adaptation of Edward Ashton’s sci-fi novel Mickey 7 (yes, not Mickey 17), was shot in 2022, yet we’re still waiting to see it. Now, it’s been hit with yet another delay and has been moved to spring 2025. After the first-ever trailer arrived in September, online buzz surrounding the movie surged, prompting Warner Bros. to rethink once again its approach to the long-awaited project’s theatrical release. Now,...
It’s been fairly smooth sailing in the world of Diablo 4 pretty much since the game’s Vessel of Hatred expansion got released. The add-on arrived alongside the start of Season 6, Season of Hatred Risinghttps://www.vg247.com/diablo-4-season-of-hatred-rising-realmwalkers-seething-realm, and though both had (and still do have) many bugs, Blizzard released a number of patches to address some of the more egregious issues. The most recent just came out last week, containing more balance tweaks to Season-related activities, several...
You can chill out for now, as Take-Two’s latest earnings call has brought a statement that GTA 6 – this little game you might have heard of – is currently on track to make its previously announced release window of fall 2025. Yep, while there’s still seemigly the possibility of a delay happening/being revealed further down the line if the game’s development ends up following the patterns of previous entries in the series, the plan...
It’s not often that we learn plenty about a major upcoming big-screen project before it’s even begun shooting, but that’s the case with Grendel, a live-action retelling of the Old English epic Beowulf, adapted from John Gardner’s 1971 novel of the same name by Robert D. Krzykowski (director of the wonderfully-named The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot). The Hollywood Reporter shared an interview with the writer-director, and it contains a number of...
Remember when it looked like Take-Two was shutting down both Kerbal Space Program 2 developer Intercept Games and Roll7 – the studio behind Rollerdrome and OlliOlli World only for Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick to then say that it “didn’t shutter” those studios? Well, Take-two’s now confirmed those shutterings, as well as the sale of indie publisher Private Division. Yep, after reports had claimed – based on internal documentation and a notice filed in Washington –...
