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.

Capcom's Huge Leak Has Had 'No Significant Impact' on the Games It Plans to Release

-
Capcom has said that recent leaks tied to a cyber attack have had "no significant impact" on title releases and that development work has "largely returned to normal." The news was revealed as part of Capcom's Fiscal Year 2020 3rd Quarter earnings presentation. In the Question and Answer summary, the studio responded to a question about the impact of the data security incident the company suffered back in November of 2020, which leaked a number of games and their release windows, including Dragons Dogma 2 and Street Fighter 6. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/01/21/resident-evil-village-story-trailer"] "There has been no significant impact at this point, and development work has largely returned to normal," the answer reads. This suggests that the leak has not had any impact on Capcom's current game development plans and that the studio is proceeding as normal. Capcom issued a statement in January noting that 16.415 people had their personal details stolen in the hack and that the company had lost "Sales reports, financial information, game development documents, other information related to business partners." We reported back in November that former Capcom employees feared for their private data in the wake of the ransomware attack. In other Capcom news, Resident Evil Village's Art Director recently unravelled the mystery of Lady Dimitrescu's height. Leaks for Resident Evil Village are now out in the wild and circulating, so watch out for spoilers if you're anticipating the game. Resident Evil Village will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on May 7, 2021. Jordan Oloman Is A Freelance Writer for IGN. Follow him on Twitter.
