One of the best RPG narratives ever told could have gotten a sequel from Dragon Age's creator if a single publisher had the good taste to throw money at it

1 week ago | pcgamer.com | Joshua Wolens

If you need more evidence we live in the worst of all possible worlds, how's this: Beamdog once put Dragon Age creator David Gaider to work on a full-fat sequel to Planescape: Torment—a key inspiration for Disco Elysium, one of the best videogame narratives ever told, and the current #29 on PC Gamer's Top 100—only for the project to die a slow, quiet death because no publisher wanted to throw money at it.
Reddit has reached a Silksong level of madness over the rumoured Oblivion remake in a fraction of the time

I'm sorry to have to do this, but I'm using this article to make a direct, sincere plea to Todd Howard. Todd, you and I have had our differences: I didn't love Starfield, you refuse to make Morrowind 2: Dagoth Ur's Day Out. But we need to put that behind us. Why? Because your people are hurting, Todd. They're suffering. In their fan-forums and Discords, the Oblivion community has gone absolutely doolally waiting for you to announce that Oblivion remake they've all convinced themselves is coming.
Valkyrae cameo mysteriously cut from A Minecraft Movie after she accused Jason Momoa of 'mistreating some of the crew' last year: 'I feel like things could have been so much worse'

If the queues outside my local cinema are any indication, A Minecraft Movie is set to become some sort of 21st-century Gone With The Wind and potentially displace several major world faiths by number of followers. But bad news for anyone attending the flick just to catch a glimpse of popular streamer Rachell 'Valkyrae' Hofstetter: she's mysteriously not in it anymore and is keeping schtum about why. But it might not be hard to put two and two together here.

I made a DOOM wad where you PUT THE FRIES IN THE BAG - YouTubeWatch On 31 years ago, Edge magazine's review of the original Doom plaintively asked why you couldn't talk to the monsters, in a moment that has become enshrined alongside 'guy is bad at Cuphead' and 'man cheats at Sekiro' in games journalism history. Thing is, though, Edge had a point. Actually, it didn't go far enough.

Miyazaki says calm down, FromSoft will keep making 'singleplayer-focused games' in future even though its current obsession is multiplayer stuff

FromSoftware has two irons—that we know of—in the fire right now: Elden Ring Nightreign (releasing on most current platforms) and The Duskbloods (for something called the 'Nintendo Switch 2'). But wait. These are both multiplayer-focused things. More multiplayer-focused than usual, I mean. Nightreign is a full-on co-op game set in The Lands Between while The Duskbloods is a "PvPvE-focused multiplayer action title" set in fake-Yharnam. What could this mean?
Sure seems like Ubisoft just frantically patched boobs back into Far Cry 4 after accidentally patching them out

Maintaining games, especially old games, is a real minefield. Even the oldest, most beloved classics have some issues in them, but what should devs do about that? If you go in and fix them, you might cause some new, bigger issue, setting off a maintenance spiral that just produces headache after headache, and all for a game that—let's be honest—not many people are even playing anymore.

Metaphor: ReFantazio tried to make you love turn-based combat again, but it almost broke the game during development

A thing about me is I live according to bushidō, tempering the iron of my will against any enemy the world sends my way. At all times I am sharpening myself on the whetstone of my foes, fashioning my body into a missile which I can launch at the bourgeoisie. My entire life is agōgē, especially the bit where I spend eight hours a day writing about videogames for money. Seven, discounting lunch. But not everyone has my dedication to martial asceticism.
Jason Momoa adopts bold marketing strat for A Minecraft Movie: Telling everyone he doesn't let his kids play games or have phones-'I just want them to use their creativity in a different way' | PC Gamer

Very large man Jason Momoa has been out and about promoting the so-close-you-can-taste-it Minecraft Movie recently, touting his role as Garrett 'The Garbage Man' Garrison in the picture with his winning smile, easy charisma, and borderline-Amish child-rearing philosophy. The star says he doesn't let his kids play videogames, despite his starring role in the upcoming flick. "We don't have a TV," Momoa told Deadline on the red carpet recently.
