So yeah,Dead Space 3is sounding pretty awesome right about now with a new world to explore, bigger bosses and apparently a focus on freedom. Arguably the most interesting addition to the franchise is the drop-in/out co-op, which sees Isaac joined by Carver, opening new dialogue and an altered story from single-player. Again, it’s all sounding great, but how about some gameplay footage? Well, we have 20 minutes of it narrated byDead Space 3’sexecutive producerSteve Papoutsis....

My dicebag is shaking with excitement Ever since I had achance to playSword Coast Legendsat E3, I’ve wanted to watch a dungeon run from the perspectives of both Adventurer and Dungeon Master at my own leisure. I guess I failed a perception check and this one stealthed right past me. I’m so sorry. AwfulDungeons & Dragonshumor aside, the video offers a detailed look at the simply silly amount of control that the Dungeon Master has when creating a campaign....

At long last there’s a weapon that helps bring together all the bleed builds and magic builds that I’ve tried inElden Ring. The Star-Lined Sword is a new katana in theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC, and you can pick it up almost as soon as you arrive in the Land of Shadow. Intelligence builds that still want to be swinging a weapon most of the time are going to love this one....

Fezandipiti is the bird Pokémon from the Loyal Three inThe Teal Maskthat’s actually not a bird. It’s a Poison and Fairy dual-type legendary, and even though it’s always flying, these are its types. You fight it twice in theScarlet and VioletDLC, once to beat its Titan form and another to either beat it for good or attempt to catch it. Since it’s a legendary, I highly recommend you catch it since it’s your only shot at it....

Infernal Hordes is the major new feature added inDiablo 4 Season 5,and while it’s mostly front and center, it may not be clear how to unlock it. As a new endgame mode, you’ll want to participate in Infernal Hordes for the greatest seasonal return, so here’s how you’re able to access it. How to Access Infernal Hordes inDiablo 4Season 5 To unlock and gain access to the Infernal Hordes endgame activity, you must first reachLevel 50and enterWorld Tier 3for the first time....

Put your hands in the air, this is for the players Sony came and delivered pretty much what I expected from their gamescom 2014press conference. They had a boatload of indie games with interesting visual styles. They’ve continued their expansive trajectory of porting bigger indie games, with the announcement ofDayZcoming to the PS4. Of course they also announced slightly confusing and hard to believe hardware features with Share Play and the PlayStation TV’s PS4 Remote Play....

A few close calls almost broke the chain When I first heard aboutWordle, thefreeandpuredaily word-guessing game from Josh Wardle, I enjoyed it enough to write an article about it on this site. But I thought that would probably be the end of it. I figured it’d come and go for a lot of us — that our attention would shift to the next collective time-waster as new players stepped up to see what the fuss was about....

The still-in-Early-Access sequel has ‘surpassed’ Rogue Legacy ‘in terms of raw content,’ and it’s loads of fun Did you know there’s aRogue Legacy 2? And that it’s in Early Access on PC right now? I know plenty of us prefer to wait until games like this are done, but even with that caveat, I feel like there isn’t enough noise surrounding this sequel to such a beloved game. It looks and playsfantastic....

Manga and light novel powerhouse Kodansha, through its Creators Lab, has launched a couple of new indie titles,IGNISTONE, by MONO ENTERTAINMENT andIn His Time, developed by Tearyhand Studio. IGNISTONElooks to bea cute, colorful roguelike that takes inspiration for its overall aesthetic from games likePaper MarioandBug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling. The game tasks players with finding the titular IGNISTONE by reaching the 100th floor basement of an enigmatic dungeon. Based on the trailer, the game isn’t afraid to have fun with itself and be goofy; there’s a full on dance break at the end....

Self-described as a roguelike-like beat-’em-up While its name isn’t remarkable,Legend of Dungeoncaught my eye due to its premise and rather awesome-looking visual style. The game, a cooperative beat-’em-up for up to four players, brings pixel art to life with its lighting system. You need to see this in motion. The teaser trailer hits on the procedural generation aspect, which is a surefire way to get me interested. I didn’t get a real sense for how much depth there is to the gameplay itself, but considering the nature of the video, that’s okay....

Nobody does it better Despite not touchingBloodbornein quite a while, the game kept coming up in conversations (some sober, some not) at PAX this past weekend. Kyle and I tried to sell Steven and Brett on it. Zack and I talked at length about games that similarly defy expectations partway through. It’s fun, then, to come home to thisimpressive gifof aBloodborneplayer taking out three others in a single strike. Cainhurst Castle is deadly enough without skilled invaders like komreed00....

Oh Lionhead, you sultry tease! The British developer is promising some good news forFable IIplayers next week, but is spilling no details. “Normally, we don’t like to tease too much,” claimsLionhead’s developer blog. “You know, all this hype being generated by teasing the announcement that there will be an announcement in X-number of days. Who cares? But in this day and age where a gazillion titles are asking for your attention, I felt it might be the right thing to do on the blog....

New update will also address bugs and exploits A pair of user-made Capture Point maps — “Process” and “Standin,” if you follow the community’s work — are on the horizon forTeam Fortress 2as part of a looming update. Valve also says it will address bugs and exploits with “a list of patch notes longer than a stalemate on Hydro.” In the first of a promised few blog posts on the matter, the company describes howyears of content updateshave led to unforeseen consequences....
