Weird West Review

-
In this alternate universe, the West was won by trying a bunch of ideas so crazy they just might work… and if they don’t, hitting the quick-load button to revert to an earlier save and trying something even crazier until you pull it off. Thanks to that freedom to experiment with its world as you explore, Weird West is one of those games that feels like a stealth and combat playground even as it tells five mostly serious, well-written stories with interesting decisions throughout and a thoughtful conclusion. And with so much ground to cover and replayability to investigate, it’s well worth putting up with some quirks and underwhelming loot. What ties Weird West’s plot together is a group of shadowy figures using a magical brand to force your character’s consciousness into the bodies of various unsuspecting people. It’s a clever play on the way so many games have us take control of a character who already exists in that world but still need to bring us up to speed on their identity: h...

Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader – How Did it Take This Long to Get a Warhammer CRPG?

-
It’s truly bizarre that across the nearly 30 years of Warhammer video games, we haven’t had a single one that attempted to channel the tabletop Warhammer experience by utilizing the genre that feels best suited to do so: CRPGs. But that’s all about to change, as Pathfinder developer Owlcats has been cooking up something to fill this void. During an extensive hands-off demo of Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader, I checked out its extremely chunky turn-based combat system, drowned in its plethora of dialogue options and social skill checks, and nodded approvingly at its lovingly faithful depiction of Warhammer’s morbid universe. While it’s still very early, so far this CRPG is shaping up to be everything I’ve wanted from a Warhammer video game. If you’ve ever played (or even glanced at) a game of Warhammer 40K, then you probably know it’s designed for a hyper-specific kind of nerd who loves calculations, large-scale drama, and an incredibly detailed world one could easily get lost in.

Just a Piece of Cyberpunk 2077's Japanese Script Is Basically the Size of a Coffee Table

-
If you wanted a visual representation of quite how much voiced dialogue there'll be in Cyberpunk 2077, look no further than a section of the Japanese script, which is, not to put too fine a point on it, massive. To celebrate the game going gold, CD Projekt Red's Japanese localization manager, Yuki Nishio, showed off what he says is just a part of the Cyberpunk dub script - making up four stacks of paper that each look to be 2 or more feet tall. It's basically a coffee table: It's not clear quite how much of the script this section makes up, but it's more than clear that there's going to be a lot of voiced dialogue in the course of CD Projekt Red's long-awaited RPG. At one point, the sheer size of that script seems to have meant some expected languages weren't going to be added – last year, the developer announced that it wouldn't be able to add Korean voiceover. However, to celebrate Hangeul Day (Korean Alphabet Day), founder Marcin Iwinski revealed that the studio had reversed the decision and will add a free voiceover update pack in December. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/25/cyberpunk-2077-hands-on-what-we-think-after-4-hours-in-night-city"] That sizeable script is likely down to the sheer breadth of things you can get up to in your time in Night City. We played just 4 hours of the game earlier this year, and discovered a very open world, saying, "Though many open-world games up to this point have shown off cleaner and dirtier cities, few were true playgrounds with explorable buildings and interesting activities. However, it’s looking like Cyberpunk 2077 could be a game to offer us just that." We'll learn more about the game next week, during the fourth episode of CD Projekt Red's Night City Wire livestream showcase for Cyberpunk 2077. It's coming on Thursday, October 15 at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5 pm UK and will "go into details about the looks, sounds, and specs of Cyberpunk 2077 vehicles."
