Kotaku Friday, June 7, 2024 8:40 PM  Today, during IGN Live, we got our first real look at the Borderlands movie, and folks, I'm not sure this is going to be very good. |
Kotaku Friday, June 7, 2024 8:30 PM Day of the Devs returned for its 12th annual summer event with another Summer Game Fest post-show that gave the not-E3 microphone to the creators behind some of the most promising-looking upcoming games. Whether you like noir-influenced point-and-click adventures or nostalgia-fueled retro RPGs, the event once again… |
Kotaku Friday, June 7, 2024 8:05 PM  Today, we got nearly two hours of new trailers for upcoming games courtesy of Geoff Keighley and his annual Summer Game Fest showcase. It was a lot to sit through, but if you missed out on the live stream or just want a recap of everything shown off today, we've got you covered. |
PCGamesN Friday, June 7, 2024 10:39 PM  How do you complete Destiny 2 Salvation's Edge raid? This tricky raid is stumping even the most experienced raiders. There's no shame in seeking a little helping hand, especially if you want to get it finished within contest mode. We're working our way slowly through it ourselves too, so this guide is a work in progress. Destiny 2 has long been famed for its raid races, which sees fireteams of six gather together to try to complete the raid on "day one" which recently became two days to encourage Guardians to stay healthy, get rest, and not stick to their desks for 24 hours straight. With the complexity of Salvation's Edge, this one could well take the full 48 hours to finish, even if you've got the best Prismatic build around.

PCGamesN Friday, June 7, 2024 8:40 PM  Heart Machine seems to be keeping very busy. The studio behind 2016's Hyper Light Drifter and 2021's Solar Ash is still working on Hyper Light Breaker, the follow up to its debut, but it's also just announced yet another new project. With a striking visual style reminiscent of games like Inside or, in its detailed anime like character designs, Supergiant's Hades 2 and Pyre, Possessor(s) makes a strong first impression on the basis of its moody, immediately compelling announcement trailer. |
PCGamesN Friday, June 7, 2024 8:35 PM  Dead Cells has some of the finest action design in recent games. Its combat and movement is incredibly responsive, making platforming and duking it out with enemies satisfying enough to keep players glued to the game for run after gruelling run. Now, Dead Cells designer Sébastien Benard is setting out to bring his expertise in action games to a different venue with the newly announced Tenjutsu, a roguelike project that combines Like a Dragon (formerly Yakuza) style combat with a throwback pixel art style that calls to mind Double Dragon and Hotline Miami's aesthetics. Continue reading Dead Cells designer returns with Hotline Miami style roguelike game |
PCGamesN Friday, June 7, 2024 8:30 PM  The Talos Principle 2 is one of the best. Created by Serious Sam 4 studio Croteam, The Talos Principle games are a slower paced and philosophically focused deviation from tradition by a team best known for frenetic FPS design. Both the 2014 debut and 2023 sequel showed that Croteam was more than up to the task of shifting genres, with The Talos Principle 2 gaining a place alongside modern puzzle classics like The Witness, Portal and Portal 2, Islands of Insight, and Return of the Obra Dinn. Now, players who are looking for more of The Talos Principle 2 are in luck: a brand new expansion called Road to Elysium has just been announced, and it's coming out very soon.

PCGamesN Friday, June 7, 2024 8:30 PM  One of the best roguelike games in recent years will soon get even better. Cult of the Lamb combines combat reminiscent of action games like Hades and The Binding of Isaac with a base building and management side that has you sacrificing followers to an Eldritch god like some sort of devilish midpoint between Animal Crossing and Darkest Dungeon. Now a new update is set to bring a hefty helping of upgrades aside the long-requested addition of co-op.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, June 8, 2024 3:00 AM  Busy week, this one. We've had a whole load of games announced over the past few days, and there'll doubtless be a whole lot more this weekend. Most of them we can't play yet. But as a general rule, talking about games makes us want to play games, even if they're completely unrelated. Everyone has those moments where they see the trailer for a new multiplayer hero shooter or some such thing, and for reasons only known to themselves, they say, "yes, I really must play more Simpsons: Hit And Run." So: here's what we're all clicking on this weekend! |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, June 7, 2024 8:51 PM  Computer Artworks' 2002 videogame adaptation of 1982 movie The Thing was a ghoulish and gripping third-person shooter with some terrific mechanics that weren't quite fleshed out, flesh being the operative word. For instance: you can enlist surviving soldiers as squadmates, but are they really surviving soldiers, or are they human-shaped warrens of teeth and mandibles poised to split open and shower you in digestive juices? You have a limited supply of blood tests with which to determine whether any people you rescue are Things in waiting - and even as you're worrying about them, they're casting suspicious eyes at you, care of some embryonic "trust" and "fear" systems. Sadly, much of this acute paranoia could be easily gamed out in practice - back in 2002, I deduced that contact with enemies increased the odds of infection, and adopted a policy of shooting anyone who'd been in my squad for too long. But it's the kind of system an intelligent remake could pounce upon and have fun with. Sadly, Nightdive are not working on a remake, like their previous System Shock remakes. They've just announced that they're making a remaster, due later this year. Still, I will take a Thing remaster and thus, the opportunity to write more about The Thing, over no remaster at all. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, June 7, 2024 8:30 PM  A goat or a lamb - which makes the better sacrifice? Trick question, it's neither. The best sacrifices are old rich people. In Cult of the Lamb's next update, Unholy Alliance, you can sacrifice folks with a pal. The upcoming free update will add a co-op goat character so a friend can indoctrinate and stab alongside you. The developers have shown off the two-player update amid the summer news plague that is threatening to tear entire branches off the RPS treehouse this week. "Summoned by blood and born in corruption, this wicked new ally can join the holy Lamb in local co-op," say publishers Devolver. Ah, local co-op. Not online then. I guess this is for real-life people with real-life friends and a proper real-life sofa. Well. Good for them. I'm happy for them. Couldn't be happier. Happy happy happy. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, June 7, 2024 8:30 PM  The news panamax has come in and all the shipping containers are spilling off the deck in an uncontrollable catastrophe of trailers. Here's another: you may remember The Crush House, the colourful 90s reality show where you film the cast by day, trying to please the audience, and creep around by night, trying to investigate the unsettling true nature of the show. No? You don't remember? Well, it has been a long year. Never mind, The Crush House now has a release date. But I'm not telling you what it is until you come watch the new trailer. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, June 7, 2024 8:30 PM  Wet chunks of summer games news continue to shower down on us like an explosive blast of whale viscera. But look, this bit of news blubber is quite good. Philosophy-obsessed puzzler The Talos Principle 2 is getting a big three-part DLC expansion, and some of the environments look lush. Not least this humongous cube sticking out from the sands of a tropical island at a jaunty angle. It is called the Hexahedron, and its interior constitutes a "large, continuous puzzle cluster" that the player will navigate. As one of those dweebs who has walked around London saying "aha, brutalism" at every insignificant piece of concrete he sees, this pleases me. Come and see it up close in the trailer. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, June 7, 2024 8:30 PM  Door-and-peace-minus-the-peace FPS Anger Foot, the best game ever made, has finally got a release date: July 11th 2024. This is spectacular news, mainly because I'd already printed off a load of shirts that said 'Anger Foot GOTY 2024.' I was going to do some socks, too, but I do not trust this game anywhere near footwear. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, June 7, 2024 8:30 PM  The creators of Hyper Light Drifter are not ones to rest. In the terrifying tidal wave of trailers that continually washes over us this weekend, they send word of a new game via the Devolver Direct. Possessor(s) is a side-scrolling character action game of mysterious sci-fi horror set in a "quarantined city ripped apart and flooded by an interdimensional catastrophe". This is coming on top of the already-announced Hyper Light Breaker. Please, Heart Machine, pace yourselves. I barely have time to play the daily crossword. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, June 7, 2024 8:30 PM  Pow! Biff! Dead! Cells! Catch that plate I just threw you! And this one! Oh no, there's another plate coming toward you, also thrown by me! And look, you don't have any free hands left to catch this one! Eat plate! You have been well and truly beaten up, but that's fine. Here's something nice to take your mind off the pain. Tenjutsu is a new fluid and frenetic punchy-dudey action game from Dead Cells designer Sébastien Benard. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, June 7, 2024 8:01 PM  Capcom's series about big beasts and the clothes you can skin/steal from them continues in Monster Hunter Wilds, which looked as great as ever in its newest trailer from tonight's Summer Game Fest show. We get new peeks at some lovely dunes, reptile-chicken mounts and bulky weapons. Oh, and some monsters ripe for huntin', presumably. |

Cover announced the next hololive English concert, called Breaking Dimensions, will be held in Brooklyn, New York on August 24-25, 2024. In addition to hololive English Myth and Promise, Advent Vtubers Shiori Novella, Koseki Bijou, Nerissa Ravencroft, and Fuwawa and Mococo Abyssguard will perform. A hololive Stage World Tour 2024 is also on the way.
The announcement came up in a June 7, 2024 stream featuring Calliope Mori, Ninomae Ina'nis, IRyS, Shiori, and Nerissa. It began with a quiz about all of the hololive English members. The goal was to show how much they new about each other. At the one hour mark, the hololive English Breaking Dimensions concert announcement appeared.
You can see that teaser trailer in the social media post below:
The announcement also included ticket prices for the performances both for those able to attend at Kings Theater and people buying ones to stream the concert online. Front Orchestra seats are $140, Rear Orchestra ones are $120, and Mezzanine ones are $90, for people able to get there on the days. The streaming tickets, which allow you to watch until September 26, 2024, cost ¥7,150 (~$46) for each day or ¥13,200 (~$84) for both days' performances.
An initial hololive English merchandise set is also available to buy ahead of the shows. For $64, people get a t-shirt in large, XL or XXL, a towel with the concert's logo, a sticker of the logo, and a penlight. The penlight features the 12 colors corresponding to the Vtubers, so someone could use it during the performance to show their support for particular performers.
Here's how those items look:

Back on April 22, 2024, Rabbit and Bear opened an Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes character popularity poll, and Francesca came in first. Isha, who debuted in Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising, took second and protagonist Nowa was third.
Only the top 10 favorite Eiyuden Chronicle characters were revealed, and the announcement for the winners only showed art of Francesca, Isha, and Nowa. While Marisa didn't end up claiming any of the spots, fellow lead Seign did show up in fourth place. Also, while Garoo didn't end up in the top 10, fellow Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising heroine CJ appeared in tenth place.
Here's the full list of top 10 winners in the first Japanese Eiyuden Chronicle character popularity poll.
Here was the official announcement from social media:
Francesca can be one of the very first Eiyuden Chronicle characters you can recruit in the game. One of the first quests involves Nowa needing to get more members for the watch, and she's an option. Likewise, Garr is an ally from the start, and people meet Perrielle and Valentin very early in the adventure.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is available on the Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.

Back in February 2024, PQube confirmed it picked up the Switch and PC versions of B-Project Ryusei Fantasia, and now we have a release date for both and PC demo. It will launch outside Japan on July 15, 2024 on digital storefronts, though the physical Switch copies won't appear until July 26, 2024.
As always, this also means a new trailer. This time, it's a peek at the opening movie. It offers a chance to see the idols we'll be working with in the game, as well as hear the main theme song. Though the cast is large, official character for each one appears alongside their name during the segment. It's also identical to the announcement trailer, save for the B-Project Ryusei Fantasia release date at the end.
There will be 10% pre-order and launch discounts. In the case of the Switch, that applies between July 7-14, 2024 in the eShop. On Steam, the launch sale starts on July 15, 2024.
As for the B-Project Ryusei Fantasia demo, it is only available for the PC version via Steam. Windows owners can test it out. As this is a visual novel involving preparing performers for the B-Project idol group, you only get to go through the first chapter here. This is a limited demo for Steam Next Fest, so it will be gone starting on June 17, 2024.
B-Project Ryusei Fantasia will come to the Nintendo Switch and PC digitally on July 15, 2024. Physical Switch copies launch just over a week later on July 26, 2024. The PC demo is available now on Steam.

Following the Summer Game Fest 2024, Double Fine and iam8bit delivered this year's edition of the Day of the Devs stream focusing on indie titles. Most of the games shown during the event will release between 2024 and 2025, and the release date for some of them are yet unconfirmed.
Among the 20 different titles shown there were many different genres, ranging from horror, platforming, narrative adventures, and puzzle games. Some examples include Zoochosis, a horror game in which players jump in the role of a zookeeper in a zoo where the animals don't seem to be all that okay, in a game that borrows from classic horror tropes. Psychroma is a cyberpunk horror adventure in which players explore themes of identity and memory in a dystopian future and a digital memory realm.
From the creators of Coffee Talk and What Comes After comes Afterlove EP, an adventure game that combines rhythm elements to explore the city of Jakarta, as well as themes of grief and love. Screenbound is a game in which players have to navigate a 3D environment to solve puzzles as they also play a 2D side-scrolling adventure that reads the inputs of the 3D world, and defeat enemies and obstacles in the 2D world.
Here is the full list of games shown at the Day of the Devs 2024 showcase:
And you can watch the Day of the Devs 2024 presentation itself via YouTube below. The showcase starts at the 2:22:10 mark, and it was roughly 1 hour long.

Genda GiGO Entertainment announced that it will release new merchandise and taiyaki cakes modeled after the hololive NePoLaBo group. It will feature the four active members of hololive Japan's fifth generation, which are Momosuzu Nene, Omaru Polka, Yukihana Lamy, and Shishiro Botan.
The campaign's primary highlight will be the numerous merchandise modeled after the Vtubers in their outing attires. Most of these items will appear as crane game prizes. When the campaign launches on June 22, 2024, there will be acrylic stands, tin badges, cushions, and tumblers. GiGO will add T-shirts, acrylic boards, and chibi keychains to the lineup on July 13, 2024. People who spend 500 yen on the crane games can also get a random clear file or bookmark while stocks last. The crane games will be decorated further with special wrappings and stand panels at GiGO's flagship outlet in East Ikebukuro, Tokyo.
In addition, several GiGO outlets will offer drinks or taiyaki cakes that cost 500 yen and come with a random coaster mat featuring one of the Vtubers. GiGO is also holding a collaboration campaign with Atlus' Persona 3 and 5 around the same timeframe. But while the Persona series taiyaki is only available at the Akihabara stand, the NePoLaBo taiyaki will also be orderable at Cocono Susukino in Sapporo, Namba Sennichimae in Osaka, Hakata Ward in Fukuoka, and the taiyaki stand at GiGO's flagship outlet.
The new hololive NePoLaBo merchandise and menu lineups will be available at GiGO outlets across Japan from June 22, 2024, to July 28, 2024.

Some great new games were announced and some other titles highlighted at Summer Games Fest 2024, and here's the full list of everything shown.
One of the biggest "surprises" of the night was the announcement of Civilization VII. (The banner leaked ahead of the event.) Also, an announcement of an Alan Wake II DLC dropping in less than 24 hours was a welcome surprise. The event also further cemented Metaphor: ReFantazio's October release date to let some gamers breath a sigh of relief. Finally, I think the announcement of a Lego and Horizon: Zero Dawn crossover was the biggest highlight of the night.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, June 7, 2024 8:16 PM  There were loads of fantastic game releases in the Summer Game Fest 2024, but there are definitely some I'm going to be checking out the moment I can. Enotria, The Last Song Image: Enotria The Last Song To kickstart this list, I'm choosing what is currently my most anticipated game: Enotria, The Last Song. This game is oozing with flavor and theme, and it looks as though it'll a Soulslike more akin to Bloodborne and Lies of P with the mask and weapon switching. Recent non-Fromsoft Soulslikes, like Lies of P and Lords of the Fallen, have been performing very well recently, which is a good omen for Enortia. I love the stylish classical theme – it just looks so elegant and clean. It's about time we had a Soulslike with a more vibrant setting. The masks, the setting, the eloquence – everything looks so stylised. I can't wait to dive in. New Palworld Island, Sakurajima Image: Pocketpair Come on, you knew the Palworld update... |
