How did we miss Wild Bastards? As with Void Bastards, Wild Bastards has you plot a course through the stars to achieve your goals, stopping along the way to shoot and loot. Each planet is a map of its own (which reminds me a bit ofGriftlands?), with nodes offering fights, rewards, and objectives, plus a hustle to exfiltrate. Along the way, you’ll resurrect more members of the Wild Bastards, who have different weapons and abilities (and dang, they look cool)....

DLSS 3 lets this entry-level mobile chip do what the Steam Deck can’t. Is that enough? That said, it’s not a total weakling without help. Even paired with a CPU from two Intel generations back, it can still go well beyond 60fps in plenty of widely-played games, using both high/ultra quality settings and native 1080p rendering. (I know I’m sometimes iffy about using upscalers at 1080p, but they’re altogether more palatable on laptop displays than on desktop monitors....

Five-person team now patching game after achieving 6.2 million owners Each video is edited together automatically from your footage and accompanying voicechat, once you return from each trip to theOld World, and you can watch it all on an in-game monitor with a mocked-up chat feed and viewcount. It’s a pungent, potted commentary on the machinations of Youtube celebrity, with heady notes of “cautionary tale about algorithmic content generation” and “cautionary tale about people endangering or hurting themselves being a dependable source of views”....

Over half of playtime was spent in games at least six years old, says new report It all sounds damning on the surface, although I think it’s probably worth pointing out that many of these players don’t necessarily represent lost market share for new, single player titles and the like, since many of the games mentioned represent entire hobbies in themselves. Still, it’s a shock and slightly disappointing to see so many hands grabbing for the same plate of chips at the buffet while more interesting offerings get left to grow cold on the periphery, struggling to find an audience, and causing publishers to become ever more risk-averse in the process....

Saber are now focused on ‘exceeding player expectations’ with the long-in-development RPG Presumably, theremake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republiccan’t hold up a newspaper with today’s date to prove that it is actually doing okay and hasn’t been quietly disposed of in a tax report somewhere, Warner Bros-style. As such, it falls to the head of current developers Saber Interactive to promise that the long-in-the-worksStar Wars gameis still “alive and well”....

I’m well up for more of this supernatural platforming “It almost feels like proof-of-concept for a first-person Prince of Persia game, with an ever-so-gentle dusting of Portal,“our Edwin saidafter playing free first-person platformerGrimhookwhen it launched in December. It’s a cracking little game, parkouring about with the help of supernatural powers and a grappling hook, but ends right as it feels like it’s getting started. I’d certainly be up for three hours of this, so how splendid to hear that the developers are planning to make a “complete” and fancier experience....

The victors of that particular forum skirmish were probably DICE’sBattlefieldgames, with their woozy Frostbitten cinematography and dependable multiplayer tactic of having a whole team focus fire on a single capture point, gradually reducing it to stumps of foundation. But leftier souls may have preferred Volition’s (RIP)Red Factionseries, the third of which,Red Faction: Guerrilla, featured a granular demolition engine that you bash apart whole bases with a sledgehammer....
