Where to find the Silent Hill 2 Remake Rifle key

The Silent Hill 2 rifle is an early find in the Prison area, but the key you need to actually get it is a long way off. You’ll actually have to complete several other sections within the prison, including finding weights and solving puzzles before you eventually get the key, ironically almost yards from the hunting rifle itself. If you want to know what’s involved and how to get the Silent Hill 2 rifle key for yourself, then here’s what to expect.Silent Hill 2 Remake rifle key location You’ll find the rifle in Silent Hill 2 Remake almost as soon as you reach the prison, specifically in the Toluca Prison 1f armory here: It’s locked securely in a case and next to it is a note that says ‘they still haven’t found him’ and that the cabinet key must have been taken by a prisoner.There’s no quick way to get the key unfortunately, you just have to play through the prison. The abridged version of what that actually involves is that you’ll have to get the Heaviest Weight from the church, use t…

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero’s difficulty is “f***ing absurd,” fighting game fans say as CPU opponents pull off long combos, and one story mode fight is “some BS”

It’s only been a few hours since Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero launched in early access for those who pre-ordered the Deluxe and Ultimate editions of Spike Chunsoft’s new fighting game, but players are already being thoroughly destroyed by AI opponents.Across social media, the immediate reaction to Sparking Zero is clear – beyond its massive roster and fanservice, it’s very tough. One player on Twitter has shared a clip of a fight against a ‘Super’ difficulty Vegeta CPU, who pulls off a sickening string of attacks in a glorious combo, before de-transforming himself part-way through to become less powerful, despite continuing the onslaught immediately after. This disrespectful series of moves was so humbling that the player in question clearly had to pause for a while to absorb what just happened, and I frankly don’t blame them.Put the CPU on super and they fucking BEAT YOUR ASS pic.twitter.com/flU8HkUhuoOctober 7, 2024Similar struggles have been noted in the story mode, with many pl…

Dragon Age: The Veilguard has the best difficulty settings in the series and it’s not close – like a “prevent death” option or an irreversible “nightmare” mode

BioWare has just revealed a pile of details on Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s accessibility options, and it looks like the devs are keen to set a new standard for the venerable RPG series. I’m particular taken by the game’s wide-ranging and robust difficulty options.The Veilguard features many of the accessibility options that are becoming increasingly common in AAA games, like heavily customizable subtitles or the camera shake slider. If you’ve got motion sickness issues, you can add a persistent dot to the center of the screen to help your focus. There’s way too much in the full blog post to list it all here, and if you have particular accessibility needs you might want to check out this rundown from accessibility advocate and consultant Steve Saylor.

You’ve got one of the biggest upcoming Xbox Series X games of the generation to look forward to, some key upcoming PS5 games, and some excellent-looking new horror, shooter, and adventure games for a variety of platforms. And, don’t worry, we haven’t left you Switch fans out of the fun either! While we wait on news regarding the Nintendo Switch 2 we also have all the upcoming Switch games listed down below.

Still, we’ve found the most exciting new games to look out for – including …

With Assassin’s Creed Shadows pushed back to an already-full February, expect a bloodbath that might decide the future of RPGs

Well, February 2025 looks fit to burst. Between Assassin’s Creed Shadows getting pushed back to join Avowed, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and Monster Hunter Wilds, those sickos who love their bulky RPGs will surely be glutted beyond belief! Right? Right?!Nah, probably not. As much as we all like to joke about sleepless nights and chameleon-eyed gamers trying to bullishly marathon their way through hundred-hour narratives, only a tiny percentage of people are going to play even half the games listed above, and certainly not all during February itself. Only those with a depressingly high amount of time on their hands are going to play even a few of them, and that’ll be over several months or the year itself. Hell, Assassin’s Creed alone has a well-deserved reputation for making games that just don’t know when to quit. No, more likely February won’t be a feast, but a fight. People have limited time and money at their disposal, so it’ll be a time for …

Hollow Knight Silksong: Everything we know so far

Could Hollow Knight Silksong be the spooky season treat we’ve all been waiting for since 2019? Team Cherry’s long-awaited Metroidvania has been in the works for some fives years now, and despite the long wait, fans are running on little more than crumbs when it comes to intel. In fact, one of the most concrete facts we know about Hollow Knight Silksong is that it will be on Xbox Game Pass on day one.Seven years since the first game launched, and despite the developer keeping things under wraps, the hype around Hollow Knight: Silksong seems to just keep growing – even though we have precious little confirmed. The long wait has made some fans antsy, getting the clown facepaint on at the drop of a hat after a hidden Hollow Knight Silksong update on its Steam page made hopeful hearts soar earlier this year. A 2023 controversy surrounding engine Unity’s intended pay-per-download business model had made other Hollow Knight fans panic, with speculations that an engine swap could incur fu…

How Age of Empires Mobile is scaling the series’ classic historical action for smaller screens: “We built this RTS around the ethos of control”

Age of Empires has been famous for over 27 years, for its massive historical RTS battles, featuring a range of civilisations, legendary heroes and really, really, big wars. But how do you go about bringing a game famous for scale and lots of clicking to phones? The Mobile Gaming Show spoke to Peter Hu, senior game designer on Age of Empires Mobile about how you make a big game small, without losing any of the size.  Preregister for Age of Empires Mobile now or preorder the game on iOS or Google Play. “The PC version is famous for it’s building, gathering, expanding and battling with other players, and it’s RTS elements,” Hu tells the Mobile Gaming Show in this exclusive interview, adding “we wanted to restore this experience as much as we could on the phone.” The ultimate aim being to take that almost 30 year fan base across PC and Xbox, and bring it to a phone near you (preferably yours). But how do take a game famous for clicky micromanagement with hundreds of sol…
