Ex-Skyblivion dev says it ‘was never in the state that the videos would show off’ as they claim it’s crunching on a ‘pointless and unachievable’ 2025 release goal—but remaining devs seem optimistic

by

One individual associated with the team, either currently or previously, has expressed dissatisfaction. Dee Keyes, who is credited as a world designer on Skyblivion’s team page but has confirmed to RPS that they are no longer part of the project, has spoken out on X to voice criticisms about the project due to accusations of mismanagement and excessive work hours being pushed towards a purportedly unrealistic and unnecessary release date.

“FromSoftware was my very first job after graduating”: Legendary Bloodborne and Elden Ring composer says she’d watch the games in debug mode “partly because I couldn’t beat the boss myself”

by

In the recent interview with PlayStation Inside (translated from Japanese), Kitamura mentioned, “Frequently while creating, I would observe the gameplay using debug mode. This was partly due to my inability to defeat the boss on my own. Directly experiencing the game in this manner aided me in synchronizing the music timing more genuinely and emotionally resonating with the player.

Monster Hunter Wilds’ struggles aren’t just down to PC optimization issues, Capcom boss says – the PS5’s lofty costs are also to blame

by

Towards the end of July, we shared that the sales of Monster Hunter Wilds declined significantly, from millions to less than half a million units within just a few months. We also pointed out the declining Steam review scores for the game, which were primarily due to suboptimal PC performance (an ongoing problem as reported by players, unfortunately). However, this might not be the only explanation behind the recent drop in sales of the Monster Hunter series or the lack of enthusiasm among long-time fans to try it out.

Hands-on with Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition & Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on Switch 2 Handheld

by

To verify if the claims about Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on Switch were accurate, I decided to check it out myself… and indeed, it’s true. The game struggles to maintain a stable 30fps on the handheld, and performance issues are apparent whether you’re exploring indoor or outdoor settings. However, I did get a glimpse of the two unique starting classes exclusive to the Tarnished Edition: the Idus Knight (or possibly Ides Knight) and the Heavy Knight. A representative from Bandai Namco informed me that the former begins with the Milady greatsword, which was previously available in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Notably, the Tarnished Edition will include this DLC as part of the package.

Elder Scrolls Modder Is Adding Morrowind to Elden Ring

by

As a dedicated gamer, I can’t help but rave about two incredible mods for “Morrowind”. Firstly, there’s “Project Tamriel” which is on a mission to merge all of Tamriel into the game world and timeline of the third “Elder Scrolls”, while maintaining the original lore that got tweaked in “Oblivion” and “Skyrim”. It’s like stepping into an expansive, untouched corner of Tamriel.

Secondly, there’s “Tamriel Rebuilt”, a mod that breathes new life into “The Elder Scrolls 3” by adding the entire Morrowind mainland for players to explore. It’s not just about expanding the game world, but also preserving the game’s lore and introducing fresh cities, characters, and tales waiting to be uncovered. These mods are a testament to the passion and creativity of the Elder Scrolls community.

We asked Obsidian about romance in The Outer Worlds 2, and now I’m a little hopeful the RPG may follow Avowed’s example: “it truly does need to be something that’s organic”

by

After speaking with Brandon Adler, the game director at Obsidian, about their approach to romance in the upcoming sequel during Gamescom 2025, I must admit that the studio’s vision for companion relationships is beginning to appeal to me. It seems as though they might draw inspiration from Avowed, and personally, I sincerely hope this turns out to be true.

A24’s Elden Ring Movie Just Got a Lot More Exciting

by

Although facing significant obstacles, it’s confirmed that an Elden Ring movie is underway from A24, with acclaimed filmmaker Alex Garland on board to pen and direct the project. This collaboration suggests a deviation from common blockbuster adaptations. Known for his thought-provoking, eerie, and sometimes divisive films, Garland’s work often delves into ambiguity and visual storytelling. He masterfully transformed the hard-to-adapt novel Annihilation into a chilling sci-fi horror piece and has consistently delved into intricate philosophical themes in projects such as Ex Machina and Devs.
