Powered by their own voxel engine A few months ago, Minecraft’s original console developer 4J Studios showed off a new in-house engine they had created, called the Elements Engine. Now they’ve announced what game they’re making with it. It’s calledReforj, and it’s an “open-world multiplayer survival sandbox.” But it’s not aiming to be Minecraft 2, they say. The screenshot above is from a pre-alpha version of Reforj, which has no release date at this point....

Update: Pocketpair respond Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the Palwoods and hunt large, electric yellow animals of entirely original design whose names rhyme with “peekaboo”, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have announced that they’re takingPalworlddevelopers Pocketpair to court for “infringement of patent rights”. “This lawsuit seeks an injunction against infringement and compensation for damages on the grounds thatPalworld, a game developed and released by the Defendant, infringes multiple patent rights,” readsa terse statementpublished last night....

Cart life How many bones have you broken? It sucks, the snapping sound they make is impolite. I prefer to break virtual, non-corporeal bones.Slackers: Carts Of Glorylooks like a co-conspirator in this endeavour. It’s basically that one bit in Jackass where the gang blast downhill in shopping trollies at great risk to their bodily and mental health, as is their wont. The arcaderacing gamecame out yesterday and features online multiplayer, so you can break someone else’s bones too....

The head compartment is your brain Me, I’m a simple sort. All I want from my flight simulators is an unerringly accurate recreation of dozens of aircraft, a perfect physics model that includes the spectacle of relevant weather events, and a complete, photorealistic and 1:1 scale depiction of the entire planet earth. The official Flight Simulator accountshared the requirements on Twitter. I meet the minimum spec - huzzah! I do not meet the recommended spec, but that’s because I’m inadequate rather than an Nvidia 2080 being an outrageous ask....

This one’s a simple though very strikingplatformer, inspired by folk legends and scored by composerTigran Hamasyan.

Welcome To The Dark Place, but not the Alan Wake kind Lethal Companywas one of last year’s surprisehorrorhits. It was a brilliant dystopian scavenging sim in which you searched cellars for bolts while avoiding the attentions of creatures that hate being looked at, or which only move when they’re not being looked at, or which look like your friends, from a distance. The developer’s next game,Welcome To The Dark Place, is more about hearing....

Pre-ordering? Now there’s an ancient relic If I took my kid to a dinosaur museum and the gift shop and hallways were full of Sonic merchandise, I think I’d be kind of confused. I think that makes the inclusion of such items as pre-order bonuses forTwo Point Museum- alongside Knuckles staff costumes and Sonic-themed interactive exhibits - a pretty strong extra incentive not to pre-order. This latest construction project will have you building a museum with an apparent natural history focus, your exhibits showing dinosaur bones, ocean fossils and the like....

Enough time for a Colonel O’Neill cameo? The existence of the game was first confirmed by Cal Kestis actor Cameron Monaghan, during an Ocala Comic Con panel. “We’re working on a third and we’re in the process of doing that right now,” said Monaghan, which is about as straightforward an affirmative as one could want.

Yesterday, EA’s s president of entertainment and technology, Laura Miele, had this to say during a presentation at the company’s investor day:...

Harsh but fair Having gone to bed last night withFinal Fantasy XVIinstalled yet unplayed on aSteam Deck, I awoke to find Valve have slapped the moodyRPGwith Unsupported status for the handheld. Its crime: an inability to “run well” on the Steam Deck’s internals, regardless of settings changes. Dammit, Clive. I’ve given it a whirl myself this morning, and while a literal interpretation of “unsupported” arguably doesn’t apply to FFXVI – the Steam Deck can still launch and run it without detonating in one’s hands – it does ask a little too much of the hardware....
