What Remains Of Edith Finch is an upcoming PlayStation 4 story game that seems equal parts mysterious and twisted. It made me sick to my stomach. It’s about a girl who returns to her childhood home: the ancestral house of the Finch family, many of whom die conspicuously young. Upon death, the family bolts the…
“I wouldn’t change anything,” Uncharted 4 creative director Neil Druckmann said during a panel today at the PlayStation Experience event in San Francisco, when asked about having a white actress play a black character in the upcoming PS4 game. The casting had drawn some controversy in the last two days, since the character’s debut, but…
PSX’s signature wall is quite a sight. These things are becoming a convention staple, but it’s still cool to see what people put on them. Remarkable lack of dicks here. Way to show restraint, PlayStation fans!
Just another video of Fallout 4. Nothing to see here. Except… hey, wait a second. HankWank gave Fallout 4’s “The Wanderer” trailer a Counter-Strike makeover, and he pretty much nailed it. Compare that to the original: Now I really wish Fallout 4 had a chicken follower. I would call him Chickenmeat, obviously. You’re reading Steamed,…
Cheaters are the worst. In Team Fortress 2, they use illicit programs to emulate near-perfect aim. That does not, however, mean they’re untouchable. 4LTRU15T1CD3M1G0D shared a brilliant moment in which they climbed up to a TF2 cheater’s sniper perch and swatted the ugly bug like a ripe old maggot. Alternatively, you can watch the full…
For the longest time, you could uninstall a Steam game from your machine, but—no matter how regrettable the purchase—it’d remain in your library, cluttering up your precious game hoard. With Steam libraries growing into the hundreds and thousands, this became a problem. Finally, after years and years, Valve has added the option to permanently delete…
Earlier this year, beloved Nintendo president Satoru Iwata passed away. Tonight at The Game Awards, Reggie Fils-Aime paid him tribute. You can watch Reggie’s speech here: Show host Geoff Keighley also reminisced about a moment he shared with Iwata a few weeks before he passed away. He said Iwata looked “thinner than I thought he…
In Rainbow Six Siege, the attacking team controls drones in addition to human operatives. But really, why use wimpy old human meatbags at all? Eden Lane posted a video in which they won a Rainbow Six Siege match seconds after it started. How? By driving a drone into the hostage area and waiting See, Siege…
Fallout 4’s wasteland holds many secrets—and also many more not-so-secrets. Case in point: creepy-ass mannequins are goddamn everywhere. Finding themselves in unanimous agreement with every other member of sane society, modder Hilliary decided this was not OK. Their solution? Lawn flamingos, naturally. Thus, the Mannequin Be-gone (Rise of the Flamingos) mod was born. It replaces…
Overwatch’s beta is taking a break. On Dec 10th Blizzard’s team-based shooter will go offline for an “extended” period. The break is temporary; the beta will return in mid-to-late January. Blizzard plans to use the time to make improvements to the core game and work on features like spectating and progression.
When in doubt, throw your gun. Throw your gun and pray In this clip, mmberg seemingly avoids certain death by tossing their M4 at precisely the right moment. A bullet appears to ping off it—as opposed to, you know, mmberg’s face—and then they seize the moment to exact some truly righteous vengeance on their foe.…
Rainbow Six Siege is out. As in, right now. I know, I was surprised too. But it’s actually a solid team-based shooter, and the ability to blow through walls and floors is a game-changer. Functionally speaking, Rainbow Six Siege feels like a midpoint between Call of Duty and Counter-Strike. The shooting is straightforward enough and…
By default, Fallout 4’s faces are a little too stiff for many people’s liking. Naturally, modders took it upon themselves to fix that. FancyPants’ Immersive Facial Expressions mod obviously does exactly what it says and nothing else. I mean, just look at these facial expressions: Those are clearly immersive as fuck and not at all…
The new Rainbow Six is out. It’s supposedly equal parts destructive and tactical. Let’s find out if it’s any good. Word of warning: I haven’t played a ton of Rainbow Six Siege yet, so I might die a few times. Or more than a few times. That said, a lot of things are going to…
“U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!” chanted the crowd at the IEM San Jose Counter-Strike tournament. It was an echoing roar that persisted during games, while players were speaking on stage, and sometimes even in the halls. Valve’s competitive first-person shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is an international sport. Teams from multiple different countries gather to compete in the…
Want a truly immersive first-person shooting experience? Want it to feel like your body is really in a video game? Try attaching a Steam controller to your head. This creative proto-VR solution comes to us by way of Plasma Quark. He’s set the Steam controller’s gyroscopic controls to always-on and attached it to his headphones.…
To The Moon was a story-based Steam game that made everyone cry. Years after its release, it just got surprise DLC… in the form of a comic. The comic takes place after To The Moon’s conclusion. It’s not a full sequel or anything like that, though. Consider it more of a cute follow-up. Here’s the…
If you’re a fan of action-RPGs, strategy games, or MOBAs, the Steam controller just became a much more viable option. Currently an opt-in beta feature, the Steam controller’s new Mouse Region functionality works like this: “This lets a touchpad be mapped to a configurable, fixed region of the game window, such that touching the pad…
Fallout 4 isn’t quite as nice-looking as, say, The Witcher 3, but it’s not meant to run on fainthearted PCs either. It is, after all, gigantic. Iyzik’s ultra-low graphics mod is meant to remedy that—at least, slightly. The mod pushes things like shadows, how far away you can see game world details, grass, and other…
Steam’s autumn sale is in full swing. As I wrote previously, it’s a little different from previous sales. There aren’t daily deals or flash sales. Still, 50 percent off on new games like Shadowrun: Hong Kong? 50-75 percent off series like Fallout and Tom Clancy? It’s a Steam sale alright.
