EA’s Motive studio has given an ‘early 2023’ release window to their highly anticipated remake of sci-fi horror Dead Space. The news came as part of the developer’s latest livestream over the weekend. Fans got a fifty minute peek at how the remake was coming along, and it’s not just the creepy Necromorphs getting a visual (skin-peeling) overhaul. During the broadcast, the team showcased many of the audio improvements they’re making to Isaac Clarke’s ill-fated first adventure....

Blowfish has worked closely with original creators Crescent Moon/Cinopt Studios to create the most refined version of the game to date. The Deer God is described as a “breathtaking 3D pixel art adventure that will challenge your religion and your platforming skills. It’s a game about survival, reincarnation, and karma; all set in a breathtaking and unique 3D pixelized world....

Anything but your average housecat, the Khajiit have long been fan favorites of the Elder Scrolls fandom among the many playable races. But beyond their boundless enthusiasm for trading their wares and habitual tendency to refer to themselves in the third person, what do we really know about the culture of our endearingly strange feline friends? Quite a bit, as it turns out. The Khajiit have a pretty expansive and well-developed amount of lore that is as intriguing as it is, at times, bizarre....

The Elder Scrolls 6 is not currently in development, Bethesda’s VP of PR and marketing Pete Hines has confirmed, because Bethesda Game Studios currently has “two other major titles to work on”. Taking to Twitter, Hines explained: “We aren’t working on TES6 at the moment,” telling suspicious fans that he is “not lying”. “I have no reason to lie,” he said. “Just managing expectations and clearing up misconceptions.” While it isn’t clear what the other two games are (Hines refuses to say whether they’re new IPs or new entries in existing franchises), one of them could be this year’s Skyrim: Special Edition, a remastered version of 2011’s TES5 heading to PS4, Xbox One and PC this October....

Bethesda has unveiled this year’s expansion to the ever-growing MMO The Elder Scrolls Online, and after last year’s venture into Skyrim territory, we’re now heading the Gates of Oblivion in a year-long event that will include a Flames of Ambition DLC and Blackwood Chapter. The Blackwood Chapter will include the new titular zone situated between the Argonian homeland and Imperial province of Cyrodill, a “fiendish” main storyline, a new Companions system that allows you to recruit, travel and fight with ally NPCs, a new 12-player Trial known as Rockgrove, new World Events that include Oblivion Portals, new delves, public dungeons, world bosses, new quests and much more....

SNK Corp has unveiled the latest roster addition to upcoming beat-em-up The King of Fighters XV as Maxima. The latest scrapper is part man, and part machine and has been a regular character in the series since The King of Fighters ’99: Millennium Battle. As you can imagine, his metal suit gives him superhuman strength and makes him one of the hardest hitters in the game. Here’s his blurb. “Maxima is a cyborg remodelled by NESTS....

Today Naughty Dog released another comparison video clip pitching the graphics of The Last of Us Part 1 against The Last of Us Remastered. We get to see the scene featuring the burning barn on PS5 as opposed to the old version on PS4, and the new lighting certainly gives it a whole new atmosphere. Of course, that’s not the only visible improvement, as textures and models are also brought up to par with recent games....

Goyer continues to work on high-profile projects to this day, with writing and executive producing credits on two massive upcoming TV series: The Sandman, based on Neil Gaiman’s legendary comic book, and Foundation, adapted from Isaac Asimov’s classic series of science fiction novels. But in addition to working on iconic titles like the ones mentioned above, Goyer — like every other filmmaker in Hollywood, no matter how successful — has seen a number of projects slip through his fingers, caught either in development hell or a changing of the studio guard....

The Morning Show is too big to fail. Each episode of the star-studded new series costs upwards of $15 million. For context, that’s about the same price as each episode in the final season of Game Of Thrones, a globe-spanning production featuring extensive CGI and a sprawling cast. Yes, the paycheques being thrown at this cast, which also includes Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw (actors that could easily headline their own series) makes up most of that absurd budget, and for good reason; besides attracting interest and eyeballs, their talent papers over what is otherwise a middling showbusiness drama....

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot tells the story of Dragon Ball Z, and as such transformations and forms play a major role in the game. Enemies like Cell, Majin Buu, and Frieza all have multiple forms, while playable characters like Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo all receive power boosts through numerous transformations like Super Saiyan. With the first DLC confirmed to adapt the Gods of the Universe Saga– based on Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods and Resurrection F– a plethora of new forms and transformations are making their way to DBZ: Kakarot....

Other than “do I kill everyone around me,” the first big moral choice you’re likely to hit in The Outer Worlds is just as you’re leaving Emerald Vale. You need a part for your ship, but the only two in the area are being used. This means destroying one of two communities: Edgewater, or the Botanical Lab. This is the basis of the Comes Now the Power quest. If you don’t have a particular preference or are finding it hard to decide, then there is a third option....

Tequila Works’ time-twisting murder mystery The Sexy Brutale launches for the Nintendo Switch today, and to celebrate a launch trailer with a very jazzy soundtrack has been posted. As per last week’s announcement, the game sees you trying to solve several murders across a single night, by replaying the same twelve hours over and over. Every time you save one of the guests, you gain a new power which will help you solve the next one and so on....

There’s no better time to pick up a creepy game for the season than when it’s on sale. Those creeks and moans might be the sound of your wallet opening or maybe even that masked murderer behind you. Either way, if you’d like to get into the season in a full-on celebratory fashion, the Steam Halloween sale is going on now and will run until November 1. What Was That?! If you’re looking over your shoulder, it’s probably because you don’t want your significant other to observe the financial slaughtering you are about to partake in....

Following the Divination rework, Jagex promised that more RuneScape skills would receive similar treatment moving forward. The latest example of that can be seen in today’s Ninja Strike. RuneScape now has an updated Summoning skill in order to provide superior quality of life changes and usability moving forward. Outside of Summoning, today’s update also brings along with it the final stage of the Battle of the Monolith miniquest. Be sure to check out our guide on how to complete it....

Gun Interactive, developer of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, has revealed that the upcoming asymmetrical horror game will use a 3V4 setup. The team made the announcement in a new development insight to fans published last night. The team had previously worked on 2016’s similarly-themed multiplayer title Friday 13th: The Game, which used the more traditional 4 survivors versus one killer scenario. However, for their Leatherface-fronted follow-up, they’re changing things up....

Ben Affleck has been such a major figure in tabloid culture for years now that a) the lines between his real life and his cinematic one have gradually gotten fuzzier and b) the ongoing turmoil in his personal life has made it easy to forget that with the right role, he can still be an extraordinary actor. In The Way Back, those two aspects of this talented man’s life intersect in a way that turns what could merely be a rote weepie into something much more affecting, anchored by Affleck’s powerful, raw performance....

Geralt of Rivia, our beloved platinum-haired protagonist from The Witcher, is pretty good at his job. He’s the envy of every witcher as he racks in pounds of coin and promiscuous sorceresses as well – and that’s all after he’s done saving the world for the third of fourth time. There aren’t many in the gaming world who can compare to this man’s talent. But today we’re diving deep to find the few bounty hunters who are just a little better at the craft than our fellow witcher, and others who don’t come close....

This Supernatural review contains spoilers. Supernatural Season 14 Episode 4 The fourth episode of Supernatural Season 14 brings us a lot of laughs with hilarious nods and homages to classic horror. Does it advance the season arc? Hardly. But it gives us a fun episode perfect for the day after Halloween. We’ve had geek-pandering moments, fandom baiting, and homages in Supernatural before, but “Mint Condition” is the most homage-y, most nerd-inspired episode yet....

Tales of Arise is the latest game in the venerable series about smashing tyrants and mashing the attack button, so we’ve got some tips for you. While it’s admittedly rather similar to previous games on the gameplay front, it has its own peculiarities. I’m gonna break down some tips for new players before they jump in the game, so they’ll be able to more easily come to grips with everything. Plus, it’s been about five years since the last one, so I’m sure some of us are quite rusty at this point....
