Secret Invasion director responds to negative reviews

Star Wars Outlaws is one of the most anticipated upcoming games for fans of the Star Wars franchise, and there’s a lot to look forward to about the scoundrel fantasy. 

Obi-Wan Kenobi might be billed as a limited series, but, according to director Deborah Chow, a season 2 isn't totally out of the question. 

Before it became a hit Metroidvania, The Messenger was only a pitch in its director's mind - and one that wasn't exactly a big hit with their old employer.

2023 isn’t done yet; even if it were almost done, there has been plenty to talk about within the gaming community. For example, there have been numerous big-time releases alongside big-time announcements about what’s coming next year. One title that everyone has been enjoying talking about is Star Wars Outlaws. Ubisoft’s unique title aims to help gamers redefine what it means to live in the galaxy far, far away, and they’re excited to take part in it. The only people more excited are the dev team at Ubisoft, as they’ve been working hard to make the game feel special.

Welcome to Crime City, a place where if you look close enough, you can find almost any kind of crime, from bullying a little kid for his candy to taking bribes in a back alley to robbing a bank. Team up with up to three other players to solve each case and some of the many crimes in MicroMacro: Crime City.

Gord takes place in a grim fantasy world. You know this because the game goes out of its way to tell you all the time, whist being as dark and unpleasant as possible from the very beginning. Barely ten minutes into the game and the player must sacrifice a child to some big evil grotesque demon thing. The attempt to force the player to make a difficult decision is immediately undermined by the fact that the child in question joined your retinue a matter of minutes ago, robbing the scenario of any emotional impact. Instead, the player is just left with an unpleasant taste in their mouth as the child is gorily gobbled up by said demon. It’s absolutely unnecessary. In fact, the attempts to shock the player fall flat throughout the game and only serve to undermine what is otherwise a solid real-time strategy survival title.

You know all of those miserable towns you find in fantasy RPGs like The Witcher and Diablo, usually in a swamp where the locals live in a precarious balance with whatever monstrosity demands they feed it children? How do they even survive out there? That’s the idea behind Gord: A blend of roleplaying, real-time strategy, and colony simulation that should lead to making tough choices in areas like careful building, precarious combat, and tense emergent story. Instead, each of the three aspects is implemented in such a barebones way that not one of them is deeper than a quagmire or remotely entertaining. The result is about as engaging as living in a swampy, miserable town you're desperate to leave, and when you finally do and your parents ask why you never visit you tell them it's because not only is their town not fun, it has bad inventory management to boot.

Amazon is starting to use ChatGPT-like AI technology to summarize user reviews.

Overwatch 2 has been available for a while on multiple platforms, though it was in Early Access. With the Invasion update, the game left early access and officially launched on August 10.

With a scene-stealing performance from Jason Momoa and car chases to rival even the most bizarre Fast & Furious moments, Fast X was a huge hit when it raced onto our screens earlier this year. Now as the movie prepares to make its at-home debut, we caught up with director Louis Leterrier about how he and Vin Diesel worked together to create the tenthquel.

Tekken 8 director Katsuhiro Harada says that threats regarding the inclusion of Eddy Gordo in the upcoming fighting game will cause “the motivation of the development staff [to] decrease rapidly.” The developer says that comments from some Tekken 8 fans can result in increased event security and responses from “company founders, board members, and lawyers.” Harada’s response comes as we await the Tekken 8 release date, and the next generation of the Bandai Namco beat-’em-up.

Overwatch 2’s Steam launch got off to a rough start with thousands of players leaving negative reviews.
