There are a number of titles that have built their foundation on the retro era of gaming. But for many, the tag often implies either an 8- or 16-bit visual style or mechanics. Unlucky Seven, on the other hand, is pursuing graphics that are reflective of the early ages of 3D adventures. However, it looks like the development team will need about another month to refine and polish as it will see a delay....
Update #2, 9pm: Kotaku has discovered, after speaking with two former colleagues of George Fan, that he was was one of 50 PopCap employees that were let go in 2012, and the termination of his employment didn’t coincide with his feelings towards the freemium model seen in Plants vs Zombies 2. The anonymous sources said that while Fan wasn’t keen on freemium games, he never worked on Plants vs Zombies 2, so his departure and the PvZ sequel were not linked in anyway....

Johnny Mnemonic. Does that name ring a bell? It’s a cyberpunk movie from 1995 starring Keanu Reeves as a high-tech memory dealer who uses virtual reality to save a robot dolphin from an evil corporation–or something like that.

Release Date: January 28, 2020Platform: PCDeveloper: BlizzardPublisher: BlizzardGenre: Real-time Strategy There’s a question at the heart of every Warcraft 3: Reforged discussion that makes the seemingly simple process of reviewing it so much more complicated than it needs to be: “How much credit does Blizzard deserve in 2020 for releasing a truly great game in 2002?” At the time of Warcraft 3’s release, games like Blizzard’s own StarCraft and the ambitious Total Annihilation had raised the RTS bar in ways that made the original Warcraft games feel outdated, even if they were still amusing in their own right....

This article contains Watchmen spoilers. Since early in its first episode, HBO’s Watchmen has kept the catastrophic tragedy that concludes the book just within view of the audience. The events of Nov. 2, 1985, when New York City was seemingly attacked by an enormous squid from another dimension that emitted a psychic shockwave so powerful upon its arrival (and immediate death) in our realm that it killed over three million people, while injuring and traumatizing countless others....
The following contains spoilers for Watchmen episode 9. So, how about that Watchmen finale, eh? Unlike other HBO shows that rush to a conclusion that isn’t entirely earned, or perhaps leave things on an ambiguous note that plays less like an artistic choice and more like sheer laziness, Watchmen sure did manage to end things in a satisfactory manner with its ninth (and potentially final) episode. That’s a relief. But as the saying goes, “nothing ever ends,” and even a narrative as tight as this one is bound to leave some unanswered questions....

Recently, a developer at CD Projekt Red teased that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt had one last secret that has yet to be found. Yes, despite releasing seven years ago, and having a massive, dedicated fan base, there was still one easter egg that no one had uncovered.

The fact that it was xLetalis to do it doesn’t come as too much of a surprise, as they’ve made hundreds of videos going over the smallest bits of detail that have been included in the game....
