Final Fantasy XIV‘s New ‘Deep Dungeon’ Will Be Different Than Anything Else In The Game

When patch 3.35 goes live in Final Fantasy XIV, it’ll unlock the Deep Dungeon, a 50-floor instance with randomly generated maps that’s inspired by roguelikes. It sounds pretty rad. The Deep Dungeon, also known in English as the Palace of the Dead, is designed to both channel old-school Final Fantasy spelunking and to switch things…

Insomniac: VR Finally Made Our 10-Year-Old Game Idea Possible

The Unspoken, a multiplayer spellcasting game, is one of several VR games in development at Insomniac Games. It’s also a game the studio has been trying to make for 10 years. In the early days, Insomnaic was a studio focused on one game at a time. That used to mean annualized Spyro the Dragon and…

Fans Are Already Trying To Place Breath of the Wild On The Zelda Timeline 

So far, we’ve only seen a small slice of the newest Zelda game—but that’s enough to get some fans speculating wildly. As many of you already know, there is such a thing as a “Zelda timeline,” and it chronicles the different parallel Zeldaverses that currently exist, post-Ocarina of Time. With a new game on the…

After A Fan Revolt, Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare‘s Creators Are Trying To Win People Over At E3

The creators of the newest Call of Duty are attempting to turn the tide at E3 in Los Angeles this week. They’re up against a month-long sea surge of negativity the likes of which even this series has never seen. Working in their favor this week: what they’re showing of the new Call of Duty…

Don’t Ever Change, Yakuza

Because it’s a prequel set in the 1980s, Yakuza 0 is hopefully going to be the perfect place for newcomers to jump into Sega’s story-heavy world of brutal combat and dumb-ass minigames. Because the more people who play Yakuza, the better Yakuza 0 is going to be out in English in 2017. Its E3 trailer…

On the left, EA’s Patrick Söderlund talking to IGN. On the right, Corey Davis, design director at Psyonix (the developers of Rocket League). Some background on that 2011 date: Rocket League, for all its recent success, actually has a long and interesting development history, since it’s basically a reboot/sequel of a similar, earlier game that…

Resident Evil 7 Will Be More Like Classic Resident Evils Than The Demo

In the wake of Resident Evil 7‘s E3 reveal, Capcom dropped a teaser demo that’s… different. “Resident Evil? More like Resident P.T.-vil,” said somebody somewhere, probably. But according to Capcom, the final game will be more like classic Residents Evil (the correct plural; fight me) than people are expecting. As with anything that’s different, the…

Star Trek VR, As Seen At E3

There’s a window in one of the corners of Ubisoft’s massive E3 booth, and through it you can see people playing the new Star Trek Bridge Crew virtual reality game. We couldn’t play the game ourselves, but watching others through glass was a sufficient back-up option. The lady in red is overseeing the demo and…

The new Rhythm Heaven game, Megamix, had a release date of “sometime in 2016″. That sometime is…today! Nintendo just dropped the surprise release on the eShop. Above is the E3 trailer.

Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age Has A Fast-Forward Button

The HD remaster of Final Fantasy XII will come with a fast forward feature, letting players blaze through all those random battles and giant maps at twice or even quadruple speed. “One feedback we got from fans who played the original Final Fantasy XII was how vast the fields are,” said Final Fantasy XII The…

Porting A PC Game To Console Is Not Always As Easy As It Sounds

Or at least it wasn’t for Hawken, as the developers have shared in a surprisingly interesting timeline of how the mech shooter made the march from PC to Xbox One/PS4. Yeah, I know, Hawken, right? What was once a very promising mech shooter kinda sank out of the wider consciousness once it went free-to-play (and…

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past will be out in North America on September 16. There’s a new trailer and everything! Dragon Quest theme music always makes me smile.

The line to play Zelda: Breath of the Wild at E3 is apparently really, really, really, really, really, really, really long. Like, really long. (h/t Polygon)

One Video Game Publisher’s Passive-Aggressive Turf War With E3

E3 isn’t for everyone. It’s a massive video game convention built on glitz, glamour, and the bones of exhausted booth workers. It costs money to exhibit within those cramped halls, and people might not even notice. For years, Devolver has gotten around this by demoing games in a lot across the street. That, however, comes…

Witcher 3 Patch Gets Rid Of Hilarious Glitch

The latest patch notes for The Witcher 3 state that CD Projekt Red fixed an issue where “a noblewoman in red would sometimes follow Geralt everywhere he goes.” But while this bug may not plague players anymore, the internet never forgets. FudgeRevolution captured footage of this maddening glitch in action, and you can see it…

In Case You Can’t Get Enough Of Final Fantasy XV‘s Flying Car

The flying is smooth. The landing? Not so much. I’ve been dreaming of the Regalia Type-F since Square Enix revealed it didn’t need roads where it was going earlier this year. Now they’ve released a slightly beefier look at the convertible convertible, making it more implausible and desirable at the same time. Now all it…

Box Box Boy, the sequel to one of the best 3DS games of 2015, will be available on the 3DS eShop on June 30. Costumes from the original game will carry over, so you’ve got until then to catch up. Check out our impressions of the Japanese release here.

The Last Guardian Is A Real Video Game And We’ve Played It

Here’s something I thought I’d never get to say: I’ve played 30 minutes of The Last Guardian As with many others, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus rank as some of my all-time favorites. The endless delays behind designer Fumito Ueda’s follow-up, The Last Guardian, have been frustrating for a variety of reasons. Most obviously,…

What’s Next For Overwatch

Overwatch has only been out for a few weeks now, but it’s already got 10 million players. Naturally, Blizzard has big plans for the future. In a recent forum post, Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan laid out Blizzard’s plans for the next many months, noting that the team is “working on content patches throughout the…
