‘We can still fulfill that mission of just helping indie devs’ Double Fine has had an important side hustle ever since 2014. Primarily a development studio, Double Fine started a publishing arm five years ago. The concept is mutually beneficial: Indie developers get their name attached to Double Fine’s, a surefire way to cut through the thicket of indies all fighting for attention; Double Fine gets a cut of the revenues as the publisher....

Troubled adaptation scheduled sooner than expected In a move I don’t think anybody saw coming, Sony has announced that its big-screen adaptation of Naughty Dog’sUnchartedwill now arriveaheadof schedule, having had its release date pulled forward from November 2021 to July 2021. This will no doubt come as a surprise to regular readers who will be aware of the trials and tribulations the project has gone through en route to theatres. Having been re-written, re-cast, and re-scheduled multiple times, all while passing through the hands ofno less than seven directors, Sony has consistently struggled to get the project out of the starting blocks....
Be the hero of your own story Sappy. Sentimental. Downright cheesy. If there’s a video game story (or really any other media, for that matter) that is going to make me cry from pure emotion, you may bet your bottom dollar that I’m going to love it. With the world becoming an increasingly horrific dumpster fire that somehow burns hotter every day, media can be a welcome respite from the chaos....
An Xbox Live Gold account isn’t needed unless you want online multiplayer After a short beta test, Electronic Arts has launched its Xbox One subscription serviceEA Access. The program also offers early access to demos for games likeMadden NFL 15,NHL 15, andDragon Age: Inquisition, as well as a 10 percent discount on EA-related digital purchases for Xbox One including full game downloads and DLC. On paper, the service sounds decent — surprisingly decent, given that this is EA — but I’d highly recommend waiting and seeing how it pans out over the next few months before subscribing....
A crummy commercial! While it was announced that therewouldn’t be any microtransactionsinWWE 2K18this week, a little detail escaped unchecked about a few of the achievements/trophies. While most of the achievements are just normal run-of-the-mill ones there are three that stand out in particular to me. Just take a look at them. Well, there you have it. Do you have what it takes to prove that your hunger to win is greater than the general concept of hunger?...
Stream Broadcasting Steam Broadcasting–I’m already confused in the mouth with “Steam Stream,” so it’s for the best–isnow in beta(you’ll need toopt inif you haven’t). From your friends list or a friend’s profile page, all you need to hit is “watch game” and you can start peeping on your pal Tom. For Tom’s part, there is no broadcast to set up in any way; once someone starts watching, you start broadcasting....

We’ve reached out to Sony for more information.] The news keeps rolling in about the features of the PS4 Pro and what it will and won’t do.

Featuring 25 hours of new content Skyrimmods are the best, like the one we just featured that brings inDishonoredpowers intoSkyrim. This one, though, takes the cake. Falskaar is a new mod and it features nearly 25 hours of new content. That’s new characters, new voices, new quests, and a new land mass that’s a third of the size of the original game. All this is made even more impressive when you learn that it’s a mod made largely by just Alexander Velicky, a 19-year-old who’s using this mod to help him try to get a job at Bethesda....
