Back in May, Japanese publisher Square Enix announced it was selling a number of Western studios it had owned since 2009, including Eidos Montreal (Deus Ex) and Crystal Dynamics (Tomb Raider). For Stephane D'Astous, who founded Eidos Montreal and left the company in 2013, the deal marks the end of a decade-long "train…

Hitman protagonist Agent 47 has seen the world. He's parachuted onto the tallest tower in Dubai. He's infiltrated manors in the British countryside and on the Amalfi Coast. He's even been to New Jersey. But everyone's favorite be-suited secret agent still, apparently, needs one more stamp on the passport: a dimly lit…

     Massive new GTA Vice City mod completely remakes Tommy's town

Maybe you think you know everything there is to know about Vice City, but an expansive new GTA Vice City mod says think again. Grand Theft Auto Vice City – Extended Features includes several rounds of additions to the 20-year-old game, everything ranging from a new hovercraft to a jet-ski and associated minigames, new police missions, extra vehicles, newspaper missions a la GTA 4, and a Ferris Wheel. It's essentially Vice City 2, if such a thing were to ever exist. Modder bibidibabidibu seemingly thought of everything, even down to making sure Tommy wears a safety helmet while on a racing bike.

     New Sims 4 update bug is accidentally killing some Sims

The newest Sims 4 update is live ahead of the High School Years expansion, bringing the wants and fears system back and maybe killing your Sims on accident, depending on your settings. The life game update reintroduced the Sims' aging bug, where your Sim ages every time the game transitions scenes – so, when it loads, when you enter the Create A Sim screen, check out the world map, and most of the things you'll inevitably end up doing at some point during a Sims 4 session.

NieR Automata Secret Church

Five years after the release of NieR Automata, it seems the game may still hide some secrets. An anonymous player may have discovered a secret church in NieR Automata, hidden in the game's Copied City area. That is, of course, if the claim can be verified and it doesn't turn out to be an elaborate hoax or prank.

One complicating factor is that only a single anonymous player has been able to access the NieR Automata secret church. The area is supposedly hidden behind a wall in the Copied City. A player named "sadfutago" posted to the NieR Subreddit board asking about the requirements to access the area, which were unclear. Most respondents did not believe that any Copied City buildings were accessible. Sadfutago posted video of the area, which revealed a previously-unknown hidden door. Commenters were divided between calling the video a fake and investigating the claim.

More credence to the NieR Automata secret church investigation came from Lance McDonald, a modder and player credited with uncovering the game's supposed "Final Secret" cheat code in 2021. McDonald said that the Automata modding community "is in shambles over this discovery" and that it's "not yet possible" to mod NieR Automata in the way shown in the secret church video. McDonald's claim lends credence to the notion that the secret church is a hidden area, or created with tools that aren't yet accessible to the wider modding community.

https://twitter.com/manfightdragon/status/1551601744827670528

One complication is that as of yet no one else but the original poster has been able to visit the area. Players and modders are still investigating with new playthroughs of the game and tricks known to the community, but so far none have succeeded in accessing the church. Some have surfaced detailed analysis suggesting that the area may be an elaborate hoax, though even these debunking attempts haven't conclusively isolated how such a mod might be created short of developer-level tools or access.

Even high-level NieR Automata developers like Yoko Taro and Yosuke Saito commented on the matter. Saito tweeted about it, calling it an "Eternal mystery". For his part, Yoko Taro directed people to his Twitter profile, which said that he "can't answer about any products", communicating a lack of interest in confirming or denying the NieR Automata secret church rumor.

All this has spawned another theory: That the secret church is new content, and that sadfutago's discovery is a work of guerilla marketing, either for the upcoming Switch edition of NieR Automata or perhaps some kind of update, remaster, or remake of the existing versions. Those suggesting this angle point to sadfutago's history as an account on Reddit: It's only ever been used to post about the NieR Automata secret church. Further, their handle may be a reference to longtime NieR characters Popola and Devola, two sad twins. Even further, the altar at the church itself contains references to Devola and Popola, as well as to the NieR Replicant character Yonah.

New content on an older game isn't a new occurrence for the NieR franchise, either. NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139….the "upgraded release" of the original NieR, contained new content, such as a story episode.

NieR: Automata is immediately available on the PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One. A Nintendo Switch port will come out on October 6, 2022.

     Minecraft amd driver update performance 22.7.1 radeon fpsAlthough AMD's Radeon 6000 Series created quite a buzz when it managed to keep up with Nvidia's RTX 30 Series in plenty of popular games, it wasn't punching pound for pound in all titles. The latest Radeon Adrenalin driver 22.7.1 addresses more of the criticisms rightfully dealt against AMD's graphics department though. Radeon Adrenalin driver 22.7.1 updates a number of things, but the headline optimization is definitely for the OpenGL API game performance. This boost mainly applies to older titles, as Vulcan has largely replaced OpenGL since 2017. However, the performance gains will still be relevant to many since there are still plenty of popular games out there based on OpenGL.   Minecraft is of course the star example of this driver update, and AMD is well aware of the fact. The company released some internal testing results that demonstrate massive performance improvements in Minecraft for Radeon 6000 Series graphics cards. The silver lining is that th...

     Raiden Iv X Mikado Remix Game 2023 1When I was young during the waning days of the arcade, I spent a lot of time playing Raiden. The beautifully pixelated bullet hell shooter devoured many of my quarters in the day. I'd like to think I helped contribute to its many sequels. One of which, Raiden IV, has seen many ports and revisions over the years since launching in 2007. The last version, OverKill, released in 2015. But soon, Raiden IV x MIKADO remix will arrive, adding more modes, features, and music to the game early next year. The timing of the announcement isn't a coincidence. Publisher H2 Interactive revealed that Raiden IV: OverKill would be delisted on July 26. Those who owned the game will still be able to play it. But, as of this writing, you can no longer purchase this older version of the shooter.   Raiden IV x MIKADO remix is coming to us from a new publisher, NIS America (the Disgaea folks), and it's getting some fresh updates. When the game arrives in early 2023, Raiden IV x MIKADO re...

     Stray Worker Jacket Worker Helmet Blazer Clementine Midtown 3b mod own catStray already tells an immensely emotional tale about one lost cat finding its way back home. What better way to turn up the tension than to swap the game's cat with your own? That's what some modders are already doing, with tons of mods on the Nexus Mods website featuring a bunch of personal felines. These cats are reskins of people's favorite furry friends, such as this cat named Jessy, who is based on a real cat named Jessy. Of course, you might not be able to do that reskinning work yourself (that sounds a little violent for a cat). But there are users like Hacktix, who have created some felines commissioned by those who want to see their own cat in the game. Take this cat named Luna, who again, is based on someone's real cat named Luna. As modders get more into the Stray scene, it might be time to commission a mod of your own if you want to submit your cat through cyberpunky puzzles and stress.   Your own cat If you don't have a cat of your own t...

     Hogwarts Legacy Gameplay Showcase Release Window 2022 2 decemberOnline stores have had the bad habit of sometimes jumping the gun on release dates. In the case of Immortals Fenyx Rising, for example, the Microsoft Store was a little hasty outing the game's launch of December 3 — three months before schedule. There's a chance it may have happened again. As spotted by VGC (via Reddit), an official art book for Hogwarts Legacy is hinting that the game is heading out in December this year. Amazon UK has listed The Art and Making of Hogwarts Legacy: Exploring the Unrwitten Wizarding World for a December 6 date. Normally, merch like art books tend to release alongside games to avoid potential early spoilers. The December release certainly suggests Hogwarts Legacy will arrive either on or before the date. According to VGC, the book had a placeholder date of December 31 before the recent change. As of this writing, the date for the book hasn't changed.   Of course, the change in date provides no guarantee the game will arrive o...

     Serum game green liquid substanceThose who eagerly wish to play a new survival game with an emphasis on time pressure may want to check out the reveal trailer for Serum. Developed by Game Island, Serum whisks players into a narrative-focused survival adventure that, according to a press release, "falls somewhere between Bioshock, The Forest and Green Hell." Just recently, the German-Austrian studio Toplitz Productions announced its role as the game's publisher, and it certainly seems quite enthusiastic about this opportunity. For the time being, Toplitz plans to release Serum sometime during the end of next year, so it will take quite some time before players can experience it. Serum's Steam page briefly describes the game's story, which kicks off with your character waking up in a mysterious maze. Immediately, you're injected with an unknown green substance that "turn[s] your thoughts and your life upside down." As bad as this sounds, this substance, the titular ...

     I'm not a cat person but I can't deny how fascinating they are. They are creatures of contradictions, leaping from one behaviour to the next like a bipolar sufferer on a freaking pogo stick. One minute they are affectionate and loving, the next they want to murder your face and burn down your house. They can be fiercely independent and willing to completely ignore your existence, and then two minutes later they become needy little bastards who won't even let you go to the bathroom alone. They're astonishing, they really are. And now a cat is a star of this fantastic new indie title called Stray that has taken the Internet by storm, mostly because of people posting videos showing their own cat entranced by their digital facsim
