Actor Stefanie Joosten called making Metal Gear Solid 5 “an absolutely wonderful experience,” but also reflected on “the perspective of the people that are not as…

CD Projekt wants the Cyberpunk series to experience ‘a similar evolution’ to The Witcher games
As troubled as Cyberpunk 2077 was at launch, it’s remarkable to think back to what a CD Projekt Red game looked like just 12 years before. The first Witcher game is almost comically rudimentary next to the lavishly motion captured, ray traced first-person world of Cyberpunk. But it was fun, with a fantasy setting that…

‘This is only the beginning’: Metal Gear Solid fans lose their minds as David Hayter returns to voice Solid Snake in a new teaser
Even among Hideo Kojima’s most diehard fans (not to be confused with Die-Hardman), I think it’s a damn near universal opinion that Kojima made the wrong call when he replaced longtime voice actor David Hayter with Kiefer Sutherland in Metal Gear Solid 5. It didn’t help that compared to Hayter’s gravelly-but-slightly-goofy performance, Sutherland seemed a…

Cyberpunk 2077’s 2.0 overhaul was inspired by the ‘old school design’ of Diablo 2’s skill trees and Doom’s ‘relentless’ combat
Cyberpunk 2077’s 2.0 update changed so much about the game, it’d probably be quicker to list things it didn’t touch than the systems it tweaked or wholesale refinished. But the most impactful, I think, is the skill tree revamp, which changes how you build V and what you’re capable of. I only played about two…

If you’re not playing Alan Wake 2 this weekend, one of the best survival horror games of the last decade is currently free to keep
Alan Wake 2 is the horror game of the moment, and it’s the right moment, with Halloween just around the corner. This weekend is the perfect time to bundle up with something pumpkin spiced, take a cautious glance left and right for black cats, and then dive into a spooky game. But if you don’t…

It took a modder just hours to add 4K support to the Metal Gear Solid collection
In what may be a land speed record for highlighting the inadequacy of a PC port, modder Serge has published a small tool for the new Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection ports that enables them to run at 4K or other resolutions. Despite Konami’s confusing claims over the last few months, players learned today that…

Konami says to expect slowdown in some Metal Gear Solid cutscenes, but a patch is coming post-launch
Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection is out on Tuesday, finally bringing the best Metal Gear game—MGS3—to PC for the first time. As I wrote in my preview back in August, I’m still disappointed by how barebones the ports of these great games are. While Konami’s going above and beyond with its included bonus materials and…

With only a few holdouts left, we’re so close to everything launching on PC it’s almost time to retire the phrase ‘PC port’
I remember the wait for the original Mass Effect being excruciating. The idea of a PC port being better in those days was about as unlikely as winning a headbutting contest with a Krogan By 2007 I’d devoured Star Wars: Knights of the Republic and fully bought into the hype about BioWare’s new cinematic RPG…

How to use an Xbox controller on PC: Xbox Series, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and even OG Xbox
[ad_1] (Image credit: Microsoft) Since 2006, the Xbox controller has been the easiest controller to use on PC. The Xbox 360 gamepad made PC gaming with a controller convenient, and Microsoft has kept that going for nearly 20 years now. If you want a dead simple plug-and-play experience, the Xbox controller is the obvious choice,…
