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.

Diablo 2: Resurrected Players Can Import Their Ancient Diablo 2 Save Files

-
Diablo 2: Resurrected players who still have access to their original Diablo 2 saves will be able to use them in the remaster. In an interview with IGN Middle East, Diablo 2: Resurrected producer Matthew Cederquist confirmed the news, adding that Blizzard brute-forced the feature in and was surprised to find it worked. "Back when we were working on [the remaster], we wondered if the old save files would work and we kind of shoved it in and it worked! And we were like, ‘okay, that’s the best feature ever,'" Cederquist said. This means players will be able to pick up where they left off if they still have access to the files, with all of the audiovisual upgrades exclusive to the remaster in tow. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/19/diablo-2-resurrected-reveal-trailer"] The number of people who still have 20 year-old saves to hand is probably pretty slim, but it's a lovely nod to how reverential the team is being about bringing the original game to modern machines. Resurrected is effectively playing the original game, with a layer of updated 3D clothing on top. As executive producer Rod Fergusson told us at BlizzCon, “it’s a remaster, not a remake. We wanted the game.” Diablo 2: Resurrected will feature 4K graphics, 7.1 surround sound, upgraded 3D Models and remastered cutscenes when it launches later this year – but you'll be able to switch back and forth between the original looks and the new ones with the press of a button. It will be available on a wide variety of platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One,  Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch. Earlier this week, we learned that Diablo 2: Resurrected will offer a single-player and a multiplayer alpha. Players can sign up to the game's technical program via Battle.net. The game was revealed during this year's Blizzcon, which also offered announcements such as the Blizzard Arcade Collection and World of Warcraft The Burning Crusade Classic.
