News::Modders Have Managed to Crack Dragon Age: Inquisition

Gameranx: "If you're a fan of game modifications, then you should be excited to hear that Dragon Age: Inquisition was recently cracked by a group of modders. While this is generally seen as the natural evolution of RPGs on PC, it's always good to have that segment of time after a game's launch where everyone focuses on the actual game, rather than modifications."

News::S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha Developer's Cut Announcement

ModDB writes:"Some people already buried our project, but we are still working on our dream game, Lost Alpha. The progress is in fact not faster than before, since after the unexpected issues in April, our team became smaller, but stronger than ever. We got all the good and bad since the early-access release, many people simply did not understand they are playing a work in progress game. Slowly during the months it became more and more stable, but stability is not equal to readyness. While we were working on the 4th patch - namely 1.3004 -, it became more and more clear we need to release the developers cut, because the content we were planning was simply bigger than a patch, besides the early-access release contained many junk, which we planned to wipe out to make the game more polished and organized, which is good for modders too. Do not worry, we won't remove the nearly 100 developer test levels left in the game."

Eurogamer: "As the year draws to an end, there's a sense that the gap between the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is narrowing in terms of technical specifics in high-profile software. With The Crew, once again we see both console releases handing in a full 1080p presentation, and in common with a smattering of titles seen recently, the Microsoft hardware hands in some slender performance wins over its Sony counterpart. Of course, we've already gone over the basics of The Crew in the performance analysis posted earlier this week, but there's still plenty to cover, not least of which the quality of the PC version of the game."

The Forrester family has now been targeted by the Warden of the North, Roose Bolton, who sends his son Ramsey Snow to obtain Fealty from the new Lord. Something simple turns into a big deal when the squire returns to the Forresters with a message from the slain Father of the House."

Gameplanet: "Its hard to know whats real anymore. There are shifting boundaries between whats true and whats not, and video games arent helping. But the strange world between the real and the imagined has always been fertile ground for exploration. And its this mysterious place that The Old City: Leviathan chooses as its canvas. Narrative-driven games, sometimes uncharitably referred to as walking simulators, are experiencing something of a renaissance. Titles such as The Stanley Parable have shown the indie gaming community what well-crafted storylines are capable of."

News::The Old City: Leviathan Review - WGTC

WGTC: "Dropped into the underground of the Old City, you are left to wander the empty corridors, rooms and external setting of the now-empty metropolis. As you wander, pieces of the narrative are revealed in short monologues; Shakespearean, almost, in their form and delivery. Its not certain who you are, what role you play or what significance you have to impart on this binary novella. All you can really say is that you are definitely alone in this world. Here is where the reviewer gives a succinct recap of the games main plot line. But in this instance, its not something that can be summed up in an 800 word essay. The story is not obvious and one suspects that its not supposed to be. When you play a game such as The Old City, you are given a narrative objective that is not clear from the start. In that respect, you are the meta player of this enigmatic story."

This seemingly oddball design decision actually has impressive results. Players must always watch genetic traits, health conditions, and other habits before making a selection. If you can breed strong characters it will help you much more than creating sickly ones."

VRFocus - At this early stage in the virtual reality (VR) industry, few developers are willing to create videogames from the ground up with the Oculus Rift head-mounted display (HMD), let alone claim that their title is 'Best with the Rift'. But indie team Endtimes Studio has done just that this week as it launches a Steam Greenlight campaign for Plugged, a new VR compatible adventure experience. The campaign hopes to secure enough positive votes so that Plugged can be sold on the official Steam store come full release.

EGM: "The American road trip is, by any rational measure, an anachronism. Long-distance driving, once novel as a mid-century celebration of the Interstate, has become a slow, unnecessary, and overly involved means of transit. In an age of airlines, theres precious little point to the exercise. But, of course, thats not the whole truth of the matter. Theres a reason the road trip has persisted, and that its popular narrative has room for the milquetoast suburban family piled into a station wagon just as easily as it does Easy Rider, Kerouacs On the Road, and Nabokovs Lolita, all without any hint of contradiction. Theres a reason, too, that Ive driven across the country four separate times, crossing through 36 states on the way. Its Manifest Destiny."
