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.

CD Projekt Says Rumored Cyberpunk 2077 Development Details are 'Simply Not True'

-
A CD Projekt Red representative has deviated from company policy to say that widely-circulated rumours about development decisions on Cyberpunk 2077 from a purported developer are "simply not true". Posted on GameFAQs, a forum post claiming to include comments from a disgruntled developer made multiple claims about cut content, code rewrites, pressure from company executives, and the game's ongoing fixes, even adding the unexpected detail that the company's original Johnny Silverhand was inspired by David Hayter' Solid Snake and Cillian Murphy. Responding to the thread on the CD Projekt Red forums, CDPR employee Vattier explained, "We usually do not comment on rumours, but this is simply not true." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/cyberpunk-2077-publisher-will-undertake-vigorous-action-against-class-action-lawsuit-ign-news"] CD Projekt Red has repeatedly refused to comment on rumours following the troubled launch of Cyberpunk 2077, making this a notable exception. Previously, CDPR had also broken usual policy to deny rumours of a final last-minute delay to the game. Cyberpunk launched in a less-than stable state, particularly on consoles, which has led to much speculation about the game's development - particularly after it received three delays ahead of launch. That speculation hasn't been helped by some messy messaging around what happened to the game, and what's being done to fix the issues. Currently, CD Projekt is intending to release major updates to console versions in January and February that should “fix the most prominent problems gamers are facing on last-gen consoles.” Currently, the game isn't available for digital purchse on PlayStation, and we've had no word on when it might return. After those fixes, there's still the not-insignificant additions of free DLC and paid expansions and, eventually, a multiplayer mode.
