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.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance Being Developed as Live-Action Series or Film

-
Warhorse Studios and former Netflix executive Erik Barmack have announced that they are developing a live-action adaptation of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, the popular open-world RPG that is set in the medieval time of the Holy Roman Empire. Variety reports that the project will be a collaboration between Warhorse Studios and Wild Sheep Content, with Barmack and Warhorse CEO Martin Frývaldský producing the adaptation, which will take the form of either a live-action series or film. Barmack and Frývaldský are said to be in the process of reaching out to potential writers and directors to expand the creative team. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/02/13/first-26-minutes-of-kingdom-come-deliverance"] Barmack spoke about the adaptable nature of video game properties and the ways in which they can deliver "amazing, non-U.S. worlds that are locally relevant, but with a regional and global popularity that streamers are looking for as they become more and more global." "It's especially interesting that video games with heavy narrative, like The Witcher and Kingdom Come: Deliverance, are uniquely adaptable, and local but global all at once," Barmack said, referencing Kingdom Come: Deliverance, which was developed by Warhorse Studios and published by Deep Silver for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/02/17/kingdom-come-deliverance-review"] "The biggest feedback we got from the gaming community and reviewers is that this is a very believable and also very relatable story where it is easy to identify with a not so heroic hero," added Warhorse Studios' PR Manager Tobias Stolz-Zwilling. Released in 2018, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a game for your inner historian. The story centres around Henry, the son of a blacksmith, who joins a resistance movement in his pursuit of justice for his murdered family. The game received widespread critical acclaim and went on to sell more than three million units across all platforms. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-video-game-movie-in-development-almost&captions=true"] The Kingdom Come: Deliverance adaptation joins a growing slate of video game movies and TV series' that have been announced, planned, or are currently in production right now, including Amazon's Fallout TV series, Netflix's Cyberpunk 2077 anime, and Sega's live-action Yakuza movie, which is being produced by Erik Barmack, Roberto Grande and Joshua Long.
