Hundreds of bug fixes and more content coming to Saints Row

The latest Saints Row game has been out for a while now, but has mostly been met with a shrug of the shoulders and a hesitant "nahaaaa". In addition to not quite living up to its predecessors, many players have also complained about various bugs that mar the experience, including trains plowing through buildings, T-positions, and NPCs getting stuck in things. Help is on the way, though, and developer Volition says they're working hard to improve the experience and have heard all feedback. T

Gollum developer Daedalic is happy to make more Lord of the Rings games

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum definitely has potential, even if what has been shown has not received a resoundingly positive reception.

Wyrdsong - new RPG from the people behind Fallout, Skyrim, Dragon Age and Outer Worlds

The role-playing game Wyrdsong was unveiled with a trailer during yesterday's Gamescom stream. It's an open world RPG with supernatural elements, and the trailer voice hints at an unpleasant experience. It takes place in a medieval Portugal and is powered by the game engine Unreal Engine 5. But much more than that, the developers have not revealed, not even what platforms it is made for. But perhaps most interesting is the developer - Something Wicked Games. It was founded by Charles S

Vince Zampella: Battlefield 2042 "deviated too much from what BF is"

Battlefield 2042 was not quite what the players wanted, mainly because it differed quite significantly from previous parts of the series. Anyone who agrees with this is welcome Battlefield boss Vince Zampella In an interview with Barrons (via VGC ), he says: "I think they strayed a little too far from what Battlefield is. They tried to do a couple of things that were maybe ambitious: grow the number of players etc. I don't think they put enough time into further developing what makes it fun

Assassin's Creed Mirage, formerly Rift, is said to be ready for release this spring

Rumors of a smaller, more traditional (a.k.a. more stealth, less action RPG) Assassin's Creed have been rife for a while, and we're allegedly set in Baghdad. The rumor mill picks up speed when Youtube profile j0nathan claims that the game we previously knew as Rift will be called Assassin's Creed Mirage.

Spider-Man 2 still aiming for 2023 release

Everything is delayed. Most of the time. So it's perhaps not so surprising that worried fans are asking Insomniac on Twitter if the vague 2023 release window will hold for Marvel's Spider-Man 2. According to Insomniac, there is no cause for concern. "Good progress" is being made and they still hold 2023 as the release date for the sequel. Spider-Man 2 was unveiled in September last year and since then we haven't seen the smoke of another trailer, but that shouldn't be cause for concern - ac

Rumors have come and gone but so far we have no Bloodborne remake in sight.
