Kotaku Sunday, August 28, 2022 7:15 PM  The main reason Sony put Spider-Man on PC was to make money, but one of the main reasons PC gamers were so excited about it—apart from the fact it remains very good!—was because it would let them mod a PlayStation game to hell and back. |
PCGamesN Sunday, August 28, 2022 4:45 PM  Respawn devs say that an Apex Legends bug preventing level up rewards from being correctly obtained by high level players in the FPS game has now been fixed. The issue - introduced during the game's current season 14, Hunted - affected players who are level 500 or higher, and the team has given some insight into what went into resolving the bug as well as how it has tried to prevent similar issues from occurring in the battle royale game in the future. Respawn says that players over level 500 who were not correctly receiving their rewards for levelling up should now find their missing rewards in their inventory upon launching the game. The team says the bug was caused as part of the Apex Legends level cap increase introduced in season 14, which sees the cap raised from 500 to 2000 through a prestige-like system that loops players back around through the rewards for levels one through 500 three additional times after their first. "We have many different systems that keep track of players' levels, rewards, and overall progress in the game," explains senior community manager Kalyrical in a post on the game's subreddit. "When updating our level cap, some of these systems started to get matched. In this instance, we were able to develop a fix that didn't require its own update and could take effect through our back end systems." In addition, Kalyrical notes that more sync checks have been put in place that should see the game automatically detect similar mismatches and grant the appropriate rewards where necessary.

PCGamesN Sunday, August 28, 2022 12:52 PM  Lou's Lagoon is a self-professed cosy open-world adventure game coming from indie studio Rokaplay. It's a cutesy third-person affair that sees you take over your uncle's business after he goes missing. Looking similar to titles like My Time at Portia and with what looks to be a Stardew Valley-style gameplay loop, it looks to pair the life game genre with open-world adventure. Oh, did I mention there was a plane? Because it's also a plane game. RELATED LINKS: Best life games on PC, Best plane games |
PCGamesN Sunday, August 28, 2022 12:35 PM  It's an exciting time for Terraria fans, with a Terraria 1.4.4 update release window now announced for late September as development on the Labor of Love update reaches endgame. However, that's not enough anticipation for the game's lead developer, Andrew 'Redigit' Spinks, who has stirred up speculation among fans of one of the best crafting games by sharing some early concept art for the Terraria 2 world map. The Terraria state of the game post for August is fairly light, but shares a few key details about the progress of the Terraria 1.4.4 update. Firstly, work on the PC version is complete and has reached 'code freeze' - meaning that nothing new is being added, and that remaining work is just on bug fixes, tweaks, and ports. Speaking of ports, Re-Logic says it plans to make 1.4.4 the first simultaneous Terraria update release across all platforms - PC, console, and mobile. The team adds that, barring any issues or delays in platform submissions, it expects the Terraria 1.4.4 update Labor of Love release date to fall in late September. Before we move onto Terraria 2 "news," there are a couple of other quick announcements for 1.4.4. The first is a very welcome accessibility change, with Spinks revealing that an autofire toggle has been added for non-autouse weapons and equipment. Asked about the feature, Spinks says, "I know I can be stubborn at times, but once people framed it as an accessibility issue I knew we had to make the option." One other fun item spoiler was dropped into the state of the game post - the addition of a recreation of the painting created by Terraria fans during Reddit's r/place community art project.

RPG Time: The Legend of Wright may be a video game played on screens, but the world it invokes feels as physical and present as an arts and crafts hobby. The game's unique aesthetic immediately draws eyes and and evokes childhood memories, as Andrew noted in his review. We had the opportunity to grill RPG Time's Designer Tom Fujii about the game, his inspiration for Kenta's story, and the prospects of seeing a real-life RPG Time tabletop game. Siliconera (Josh Tolentino and Andrew Kiya): RPG Time's story is about a boy named Kenta, an aspiring game designer. Is there a real-life backstory to that concept? Tom Fujii: When I was in elementary school, I had a friend who was good at crafting and let me play with his handmade games. Although the setting was not at school but in his room, the moments when I played the games he made for me became a wonderful memory of my childhood. Clearly, a lot of love went into making this game, and it shows in all the little details. Is there anything you'd like players to look out for? Tom Fujii: I crammed a lot of love and ideas into the game, so I'd like players to enjoy it until the end. I've also drawn ideas here and there that don't relate to the progress of the game, such as in the corners of the notebook, so make sure to check them out as well!
RPG Time's visuals take a lot of inspiration from physical objects, like hand-drawn maps and miniatures used in tabletop RPGs. What inspired the team to adopt this craft-based aesthetic? Tom Fujii: Handmade games and similar things I enjoyed when I was in elementary school have inspired me a lot. I've researched on the internet how people played during their childhood in other countries outside of Japan, where the staff has spent their time before. Even if countries and regions differ, it turned out that memories of handmade games they enjoyed playing as a kid using stationery are common throughout the world, which was a surprise to me. We are hoping to express craft-based aesthetics in a digital game by setting up school desks and chairs to prepare the crafts in real life as they appear in the game, or limiting the amount of copying and pasting to generate data. As a result, though it might be a subtle difference, I think this craft-based aesthetic can be sensed throughout the game. The game seems to emphasize a lot of drawing and erasing in Kenta's adventure. Will players have a chance to freely draw their own designs or items? To complete the game, players need to influence The Legend of Wright by drawing. Separately, although it doesn't do anything to progress the game, a feature allowing players to doodle on the notebook can be unlocked by reading all of the tutorial, so I'd like players to try clearing the Tutorial Dungeon as well. If you were to make a physical version of RPG Time as a real-world tabletop game, what would you most like to include from the video game version? That sounds like a lot of fun. I'd love to include an appearance of the game master, Kenta, on the tabletop game as well. Though it'd be ideal if Kenta could appear in real life and play the tabletop game with players, I'm sure Kenta would prepare hints to entertain the players through the tutorial, cards, and pieces.
Thanks to Tom and DeskWorks for taking the time out to talk to us! This interview has been edited for clarity. Note: As the interview was conducted prior to RPG Time's full release, it speaks about the game in the future tense. RPG Time: The Legend of Wright is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Windows. The Steam version will release on September 13, 2022.
