Take-Two Interactive recently announced that it was laying off 5 percent of its staff as part of a wider cost-saving initiative, and it seems like those cuts are also going to entail the shuttering of an entire studio- specifically, Intercept Games, the team behind Kerbal Space Program 2.
One Of Black Desert Online's Best Systems Has Finally Been Expanded To All Classes
11.04.2024 - 14:29 / mmorpg.com / Joseph Bradford
Black Desert Online is a meaty game, with tons of systems and features overlapping each other across its game world. One system, though, has been only available to one class in the MMO. Well, that has finally changed.
Until now, the Shai class was the only one able to take part in Black Desert's music system, which allows players to, well, play instruments within the game world. This system isn't new to MMORPGs, as multiple games have it as part of their game worlds, and in some it's sprouted entire player-created concerts such as LotRO's annual Weatherstock.
Now, players, regardless of class, can pick up an instrument and play along with the Shai characters, bringing the music system to the masses. Additionally, Black Desert Online players now have five new instruments to choose from, including a new three types of electric guitar, a clarinet and a French horn dubbed the «Florchestra Horn.'
»We've also added 5 new instruments to further bolster the musical arsenal available in Black Desert. These include the «Florchestra Horn,» a brass instrument for brilliant, grandiose pieces, the «Florchestra Clarinet,» a woodwind instrument for expressing softer tones, and 3 types of «Marni's Electric Guitar,» instruments which offer modern sounds with varying effectors. Just as the «Marnian» comes in several different shapes and tones, Marni's Electric Guitar comes in three different flavors as well — «Silver Wave,» for a clear, effector-less sound, «Highway,» for a refreshing and high-paced drive effector, and «Hexe Glam,» for a heavier, more-filling distortion effector."Players can take part in the «Let's Not Shy Away From Making Music» questline to start their musical careers and nab instruments from various shops around the world. Instruments can be earned through quest from the wandering musician Artina, crafted using materials from Marni's shop, or purchased from Artina's shop outright.
The Black Desert team released a new video showcasing what's new this month in Black Desert. There are multiple new updates, including the Blackstar Weapon Glow, Music Album updates, and more. Of course, the video highlights J's Hammer of Precision, which turned out not to be an April Fool's Joke afterall.

After 26 Years, Doom 2's Toughest World Record Has Finally Been Beaten
While the franchise may be known for blitzing through demon-infested halls as fast as possible while also gunning down hordes of monsters, one dedicated speedrunner managed to do it faster than anyone else, shattering a long-standing world record. Given the games' emphasis on speed, it's no wonder why id Software's seminal first-person shooters are so popular amongst the speedrunning community. It's a game that's incredibly accessible to learn but infinitely difficult to master, so much so that many believe some of the older records are impossible to beat but every once in a while, someone proves the naysayers wrong.

15 Best Game Boy Advance Games Of All Time
The Game Boy Advance was a landmark achievement for Nintendo when it first released in 2001. As the successor to the wildly popular Game Boy Color, it had big shoes to fill, but its release heralded a few major design changes that would inform the future of Nintendo's handheld launches. Its adoption of a landscape presentation that moved buttons and the D-Pad to the side of the screen became stock for the release of the DS, 3DS, and Switch, and its backward compatibility helped push the notion that it was an evolution of a larger family of handhelds that would be worthy investments for years to come.
