Gaming  What Exactly Is Judas?

It's been over ten years since the release of BioShock Infinite and in the time since, developer Ken Levine has been busy. Shortly following the release of the presumably last chapter in the BioShock saga, Levine and the team at Irrational Games began teasing a new game--one that would retain the narrative-driven, first-person gameplay the studio was known for but would experiment with new ideas and what Levine referred to as "narrative Legos." In 2017, the studio announced it was ready to formally usher in a new era, trading in its former name for a new one: Ghost Story Games. Then, at the 2022 Game Awards, the studio finally gave fans a first-look at its decade-long endeavor, Judas.

Developer Larian Studios will not be involved with future Baldur's Gate games

Speaking at GDC this weekend, Larian Studios founder and CEO Swen Vincke announced that not only would there be no major content expansions for Baldur's Gate 3, but Larian would not be producing any more Dungeons & Dragons games at all. "Baldur's Gate will always have a warm spot in our heart. We'll forever be proud of it, but we're not gonna continue in it," said Vincke. "We're gonna move on - we're gonna move away from D&D and start making a new thing." The news is a little surprising, given Baldur's Gate 3's enormous success. It was well-received by both critics and fans, being the best-reviewed game of 2023 on critical aggregators Metacritic and OpenCritic, as well as taking home Game of the Year and Outstanding Story-Rich Game in...

Pokemon fangame hosting website "Relic Castle" taken down by The Pokemon Company

Yet another casualty goes down in the never-ending battle of copyright enforcement, and this time, it hit a big website which was the host for many fangames based and inspired on Pokemon, called "Relic Castle". Earlier this week, the owner and the manager of the Relic Castle website, Marin and Andy, respectively, gave the news about the website being taken down by a DMCA notice (which according to the owners, was given by a third-party authorized by The Pokemon Company) throughout the Relic Castle Discord server, as well as through their official Relic Castle website, closing it down entirely and only giving the following message upon entering the website: This isn't the first time The Pokemon Company has taken down fan projects...

Nintendo Switch firmware 18.0.0 has been released

It's the first Nintendo Switch firmware update of 2024. Made available as of today is system software version 18.0.0, marking a new milestone. According to the patch notes, not much is brought to the table in this update, which features a new timer option for auto-sleep, and Korean as a supported language for the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls video. Under the hood, however, it looks there there's some substance, as it has broken support for Atmosphere. SciresM says that it'll take a few days to get around to, but expect to see a new Atmosphere update that supports version 18.0.0 in the near future. :arrow: Source

Gaming  As The Elder Scrolls Turns 30, Bethesda Issues Brief The Elder Scrolls 6 Update

Bethesda has celebrated the 30th birthday of The Elder Scrolls series, and in doing so provided a brief update on the in-development The Elder Scrolls 6.

Gaming  June 12 Will Probably Be a Big Day for Assassin's Creed Fans

With the relatively recent releases of Assassin's Creed Mirage and Assassin's Creed Nexus, many fans may be curious as to when news regarding future games will come. There are rumors that Assassin's Creed Red will release sometime in 2024, after all, and that means news about it has to come relatively soon. Luckily, fans can reasonably mark June 12 as a big news day for the franchise. It's not confirmed yet, but the safest bet is an Assassin's Creed-focused Ubisoft Forward taking place on that date. Recently, Geoff Keighley confirmed his Summer Game Fest event for June 7, meaning fans can reasonably expect the first two weeks or so of the month to be covered in gaming news. It remains to be seen what a lot of companies will do, but the...

ROM Hack  ATB in Final Fantasy VI gets an overhaul

Final Fantasy IV introduced players to the "Active Time Battle" (ATB) system, an evolution of turn-based combat where player and enemy characters alike would get their chance to act after an amount of real time had passed, allowing for a more fluid turn order with a sense of urgency. Final Fantasy V refined the ATB system to a gold standard by adding visible ATB gauges for player characters to indicate progress towards their next turn, as well as removing delays for executing commands. Together these changes made the ATB system more responsive and legible, to the benefit of strategic depth. Final Fantasy VI, while an excellent game in most aspects, stumbled in its iteration on the ATB system. Unlike in prior titles, the ATB gauges do...

Gaming  GTA 6 Production Reportedly Falling Behind, Rockstar Urges Staff To Return To Office To Avoid Delay

Grand Theft Auto VI is likely one of the most anticipated games in history, with millions of players around the world waiting for any scrap of info or screenshot of the upcoming open-world crime simulator. However, as remote workers struggle with an unwanted return-to-office mandate from Rockstar Games, GameParadise has learned from sources with knowledge of the game's development process that GTA 6 could miss its 2025 release window and slip into 2026. Officially unveiled in December 2023 (after a massive 2022 leak) GTA 6 is the hotly anticipated follow-up to 2013's GTA V. Over a decade after that game's release—and its massive, still-growing sales numbers—Rockstar Games is hard at work on the sequel, which is set in Vice City, a...

Gaming  What the PS5 Pro Means for Games Like GTA 6

The long rumored PS5 Pro has been (somewhat) confirmed after specifications and internal documents leaked online. Codenamed 'Trinity' in a nod to the PS4 Pro's original codename, 'Neo', the PS5 Pro offers an expected sizable spec increase over the almost four years old base model PS5 . While many may focus on how many teraflops the PS5 Pro will cram in, we will cover the leaked specifications and explain how this will impact games running on the machine, along with explaining the new "PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution" secret sauce. CPU Undoubtedly the smallest change over the base model is that the PS5 Pro apparently uses the same Zen 2-based, 8-core 16 thread AMD CPU as the current PS5. According to the leaked documents, the PS5...

GTA 5 Ban Wave Explained

When it comes to online games, few titles come close to GTA Online's popularity. It can be a chaotic game, though it is possible to overcome it all, build massive empires, and enjoy the spoils of success. Though things get wild at times, there are still rules players have to abide by. One of the rules is that accounts cannot be duplicated. Not everyone follows this, and Rockstar is aware. As a consequence, a massive ban wave has hit Grand Theft Auto Online, and reactions to it have been mixed. GTA Online and the Account Duplication Glitch Since its conception, GTA has always presented a rags-to-riches story, with players resorting to crime to work their way up the social and economic ladder. Though this may seem like the easy...

GitLab has taken down the Suyu Nintendo Switch emulator

Emulator takedowns continue. Not long after its first release, Suyu emulator has been removed from GitLab via a DMCA takedown. Suyu was a Nintendo Switch emulator forked from Yuzu emulator, which was the high-profile subject of a takedown by Nintendo last month. GitLab deleted Suyu's repository, stating that they'd received a takedown notice for the project. The tongue-in-cheek named emulator still has an official website up, though the Discord is not allowing new members, and the GitLab download page is gone. However, it seems a self-hosted download page is still available. :arrow: Source :arrow: Takedown notice
