Dead Island 2 shows off its impressive gore system

____________________ Dead Island 2 has been delayed time and time again, but the latest footage from the game has looked really good.

Crystal Dynamics abandons Marvel's Avengers

Marvel's Avengers was released in 2020 by Crystal Dynamics and was supposed to be a so-called live Serivce venture for all superhero fans. Instead, the game received mostly poor reviews from both the press and the players. Criticism was directed at the pay model and loot boxes in the game, but also for tiresome game mechanics and an uninspiring single-player campaign. The developers have tried to fix the problems and continue to release content, but as of September this year, support for the gam

The class system returns to Battlefield 2042 this month

Battlefield 2042 received a lot of criticism when it was released last fall, not least because the fixed player classes were replaced with specialists who could act as just about anything. Already in August, Dice made it clear that this will change, and in a new blog post they talk about the return of the class system. For starters - it's close. The return of the classes will happen when the game is updated to 3.2, which will be already this month. In concrete terms, the specialists will be

The Vampire Survivors studio couldn't find a "non-greedy" mobile developer, so took matters into their own hands

Vampire Survivors not only became one of the most popular games on Steam in 2022, it was also released for Xbox and mobile formats before the end of the year. Something striking is that the mobile version is really free. No, not free-to-play, but free through and through. The end. Or yes, maybe a little comma is in order. Namely, there are advertisements for purchases in the game (but "no pop-ups"), which you can ignore and avoid interacting with. The reason is that the developer wants to m

Despite NFT "chaos", Square Enix is betting big on the reviled technology

A year ago, Square Enix big boss Yosuke Matsuda said that NFTs and blockchain games would become a "huge trend" in the entire gaming world going forward. NFTs are digital gadgets that you exclusively own, but in 2022 the new technology hit major roadblocks here and there in the gaming world. Steam said no, the Stalker 2 team changed plans, and Ubisoft got a hell of a lot of thumbs down.
