The modern video game industry has seen some rapid changes and growth over the last few years. Amidst the global pandemic, studios have faced challenges in allocating development and publishing resources. For some, that has meant changing their business operations altogether. And, unfortunately for others, that has also meant closing up shop or delays on projects currently in development. Where one studio might falter, others might find success. One such studio that seems to be making moves is The Flame in the Flood developer, Molasses Flood, as the company recently announced on Twitter it would now be part of the CD Projekt’s publishing umbrella....

Hello Games is aiming to deliver “ambitious additions to the universe” of No Man’s Sky, and assures players that there is lots left to look forward to in 2020 (via PC Gamer). In 2016, the game was off to a sputtering start, besieged with technical bugs and marred by the realisation that the length of the story was much shorter than expected. However, the developer pledged to improve the experience of No Man’s Sky with downloadable content which would be free to all players....

The Meta Quest 2 (formerly known as the Oculus Quest 2) raised some small controversy (or frustration) in its initial release. It forced all users to log into the system with their Facebook accounts. I’m pretty sure the one and only Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg already knows everything about me, even though I don’t use Facebook (Twitter makes more sense nowadays). Regardless, the privacy issues are pretty obvious, virtual reality and social media and all....

Through two seasons, The Orville is the little Star Trek homage that could. Like its (unofficial) Trek forefathers, The Orville has built up a small but formidable fanbase. Fox has rewarded that fanbase by ordering The Orville Season 3…but it won’t air on Fox.

Cities need infrastructure, architecture, people to fill the streets. They need parks and hospitals and hundreds of other things. But a lot of video game cities need something more: monsters!

Following Skybound’s revival of The Walking Dead: The Final Season later in the year, the developer has released a brand new collection for Telltales’s The Walking Dead series that includes every season in one complete package....

Many gamers to this day still renown Nintendo’s 16-bit console as one the high watermarks of gaming; a golden era for not just the big N, but for video games as a whole. The early 90s home of Mario was in an all-out battle royale with rival Sega, duking it out for 16-bit supremacy for much of the decade.
