A reboot for the fighting game series So many spines will be destroyed in brutal slow-motion x-ray vision, the first trailer forMortal Kombat 1revealed during Geoff Keighley’s Level Up Pool Party. “This trailer is literally insane,” Keighley warned. Looks like Mortal Kombat to me, though I’m honestly I’m quite curious about this semi-fresh start, especially after heading that Jean-Claude Van Damme stars as the series' moviestar murderman, Johnny Cage. Have a look, though, you know, be warned: literally insane....

Saltsea Chronicles combines fantasy soap opera with the best branching save system I’ve ever seen For the past three months, I’ve been gasping to tell someone about the next game from the makers ofMutazione. I got to see a sneak peak of it back in March at GDC, but I’ve been sworn to secrecy ever since. But at long last,Saltsea Chronicleshas made its debut at tonight’sDay Of The Devs stream, and I can finally unburden myself and let out 90 days' worth of fizz pop excitement for this gorgeous new adventure game....

Murder they wrote. Get it? Because there’s two protagonists no- Today at theSummer Game FestMax PayneSam Lake from Remedy came on stage to talk a bit about the studio’s second most famous sonAlan Wake (2). After 13 years the sort of Twin Peaksy, sort of Stephen Kingy action adventure game is getting a much-requested sequel this October 17th, although this time it’s a survival horror, and Alan is sharing screen time equally with an FBI agent co-protagonist....

A proper reveal is “coming soon”, though Over the past seven days, theFinal Fantasy VIITwitter account has beentweetingsome cryptic developer comments from members of theFinal Fantasy VII Rebirthteam. The tweets are all in a Q&A style format, and most of the questions have been fairly innocuous things like “Will FF7 Rebirth have original music?” and “Has the battle system changed from FF7 Remake?” But the answers, at least on the English FF7 Twitter account, have been downright baffling, and have been promptly memed into oblivion....

To shoot them is my cause AsPalworldtrailers go, this is pretty tame (pun intended), given that previous trailers seemed to suggest you could put your not-Poké palsto work in a sweatshop to produce guns for you. The trailer above only hints a little at its crafting or management aspects in favour of focusing on the cute pals and the shooty combat, such as a shot of what look like Wooloo manning what look like military gun turrets....

From the devs behind the modern Master Of Orion Paradox beamed down into Geoff Keighley’s Level Up Pool Party today to announceStar Trek: Infinite, a new grand strategy game arriving this autumn. Stinfinte will let you take command of the Federation, Romulan Star Empire, Cardassian Union, or Klingon Empire. Beyond that, we don’t know much. Oh, but the Borg are on the loose. See ‘em in the trailer below. “Star Trek: Infinite puts players in command of one of four major powers in the galaxy, each with individualized traits, stories, quests, and more to make their play feel distinct,” according to the announcement....

It looks pretty Here’s the video, shown during Summer Games Fest: Like its predecessor, Path Of Exile 2 is a free-to-play action-RPG. It’ll be set 20 years after the original story. While Path Of Exile 2 was announced a long while ago, Grinding Gear Games have continued to release major expansions every season for Path Of Exile 1, each of one adds substantial new modes or remixes the endgame. Late last yearthey released one inspired by The Binding Of Isaac, for example....

Atlus accidentally posted them on Instagram a few days ago Update:Yup, it’s official, obvs. More info and better-quality trailers added below. In this week of oh so many announcements, you can’t blame anyone for getting carried away and jumping the gun. Unfortunately for Persona developers Atlus, it seems they accidentally announced two games earlier than intended. Eagle-eyed fans say Atlus’s Instagram today posted trailers forPersona 3 Reload, a remake of the 2006 RPG, and grid-based tactics spin-offPersona 5 Tactica....

Time to hit the decks After nearly two years in open beta,Pokémon Trading Card Game Livearrives on PC in full today, replacing Pokémon Trading Card Game Online as the primo destination for all digital Poké TCG players. Alas, withSummer Game Festhappening today, none of the RPS Treehouse are going to be able to enact their plans of being the very best like no one ever was until at least early next week at this rate, but if you fancy giving it a go yourself, you’ll be pleased to hear it’s free-to-play and is available for both Windows and Mac devices (and iOS and Android, if you want the full list of platforms)....

Hot boy summer Summer is when you do guilty sinful things, right? You wear clothes that expose your unchristian knees and you eat a lot of ice cream, for which you should self-flagellate, and so on. Fittingly, sequel to unabashedly Catholic-y MetroidvaniaBlasphemousis out on August 24th, as revealed in a trailer at tonight’sSummer Game Fest.Blasphemous 2, which wasonly revealed back in April, looks to be similar to the fist game, i....

Last week, Ubisoft teased they were going to unveil anew mystery gameat their Ubisoft Forward conference on June 12th. Well, Geoff and his freshly pressedSummer Game Festtrainers have only gone and done it for them, and wouldn’t you know it, it’s a new Prince Of Persia game called The Lost Crown. Sorry,Sands Of Time Remake, you’reold newsnow. But evenbeforeGeoff got his pristine reveal mitts on it (probably), I went to see and play this new Prince Of Persia game over at Ubisoft Montpellier - and if the reveal trailer hasn’t already convinced you this is something special, take it from me: this is rad as heck, and you can read more of my thoughts about it after its full reveal at Ubisoft Forward next Monday....

Whispers from the deep Do I want to play another game where someone isolates themselves in hopes of getting over their sadness? Apparently, I do, because I quite like the look of Quantic Dream’sUnder The Waves. We were first introduced to this underwater sci-fiadventureduring Geoffcom’s Opening Night Live showcase last year, and now we get to see a little bit more in the new trailer revealed during this year’sSummer Game Fest....

By buying used, you can get one of these mice nearly 50% off the new price of $150. The Razer Deathadder V3 Pro is an incredible high-end gaming mouse, but it’sexpensiveat $150 new.
