Let’s be honest here for a moment. 2023 had many ups and downs in gaming, even if Geoff Keighley doesn’t want to admit it! One of the biggest “downers” of 2023 was a host of games coming out before they ever should’ve been released. Not only does that look bad on the industry, but on the people who worked on the games that should’ve known it would’ve been bad if released then. Yes, some of them might have been fighting back, but other times, it was clear that they were fine with those early releases. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s director won’t be among that cast of “characters” when the game releases next year.
GTFO's final chapter is live now with new horrors
08.12.2023 - 05:47 / rockpapershotgun.com / Geoff Keighley
The final chapter of horrifying cooperative FPS GTFO is out now, sending it off with a scream as the developers look forward to their newly announced next game. The update, Rundown 8.0 Duality includes new expeditions, new awful beings to murder you, and new weapons to attempt to stop them. It looks awful in a lovely way. Maybe I'll finally pluck up the courage to give GTFO a proper go, especially as a free trial weekend is running on Steam and the game's discounted too. I'd have to be some sort of coward to ignore that. Some sort of coward who doesn't want to creep and fight through hordes of horrid meatmonsters.
"The GTFO story began at The Game Awards when the game was revealed back in 2017, so of course, we felt that it was right to also announce the final chapter at this year's show," said creative director Ulf Andersson. "It's important to note that while the story of GTFO comes to a close, the game will continue to be alive and kicking. Whether you're a new player or part of the existing GTFO community, the full game with four years worth of content is available to complete from start to finish — if you and your squad are up for the challenge, that is."
See the update announcement and patch notes for the rundown on the final Rundown. And while this is apparently the final chapter, 10 Chambers do say they plan to continue supporting GTFO with bug fixes. But mostly, they're on their new thing.
Immediately after announcing the final Rundown at Geoff Keighley's You've Been Gamed, 10 Chambers announced Den Of Wolves. That's a sci-fi cooperative heist FPS set on an unregulated city island where capitalism runs wild and we'll pick up work running industrial espionage, sabotage, theft, and assassinations. Sounds interesting! Also, computers are meat.
GTFO is holding a free three-day trial weekend on Steam right now. If you dig it, a 40% discount is running too, making it £21/€24/$24 until Thursday the 21st of December.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Head Delivers True Acceptance Speech For GOTY Win
The Game Awards were a week ago, and it seems like many are still talking about the event, not because of some of the big reveals that were made there but because of the various instances of the show ignoring the reason it was there and dissing the people who won the awards. We’re not being harsh here, far from it. The best example of this is when Larian Studios won “Game of the Year” for Baldur’s Gate 3. The title went from a game that only some knew was coming to one of the best titles of the year, the most critically acclaimed title of 2023, and a game that gave players many “feelings.” If you get our drift.

Slavic witch adventure Reka, aka the one with the chicken-legged house, gets new trailer and 2024 release date
A year or two ago I interviewed an actual, practising witch, the wonderful Damien Crawford of Purgatory Dungeoneer fame, about how videogames represent magic. I badly need Crawford's thoughts on Emberstorm Entertainment's Reka, published by Fireshine Games, which has just been slapped with a Steam early access release window of Q2 2024.

Did Geoff Keighley Use The Game Awards To Share The Wrong Messages Last Night?
Last night was The Game Awards, and how good it was or wasn’t will vary depending on who you talk to. On the one hand, there were good reveals that had people excited. For example, some people are playing the latest adventures of Kratos because of the free DLC that was dropped last night, and the same goes for those who are fans of Clive Rosfield. There were also some fun awards moments, like Baldur’s Gate 3 winning Game of the Year. But for many online, they’re talking about Geoff Keighley and how he handled the show last night; not all of it is positive mentions.

Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League Gets New Release Date
As sad as it sounds, Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League is a regular at The Game Awards. Why? Because it was supposed to have been out by now in many ways, and yet, it keeps getting delayed, so new insights and trailers keep showing up at Geoff Keighley’s show. Sure enough, tonight, we got a new trailer that reinforced the game’s story and why the squad was summoned to kill the Justice League. The good news is that the title got its “presumed” final release date outside of the new trailer, and it’s a lot closer than you might think.
