And just like that, Concord servers are now offline. PlayStation pulled the plug on its struggling hero shooter just two weeks after it stepped out into the brutal live service arena, while Firewalk Studios works out “the best path ahead.” Buyers have been refunded, but developers who worked on the game are now saying their (maybe temporary) goodbyes.Concord animator David Reyes posted a picture of the game’s now ultra-rare Platinum Trophy – the one that had players desperately jumping off cliffs – that only 0.2% of players ever nabbed. “This platinum is very special to me… Thank you team, we made something awesome.”This platinum is very special to me🥹 @FirewalkStudios @PlayConcord Thank you team, we made something awesome🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/c9hWgwrV22September 6, 2024″I cannot thank this community enough for the amount of love and support they’ve poured into us,” community development lead Bethany Hulse tweeted. “Thank you for being here, and for being a part …
Overly chatty protagonists have become a staple in modern gaming. Most notably, Horizon: Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarok’s talkative characters will give hints for puzzles mere moments after entering a room.Indiana Jones and the Great Circle developer MachineGames has a simple solution to this problem using one of Indy’s trusted tools – his camera. Speaking to Edge magazine, Game director Jerk Gustafsson mentions, “Thanks to that, we’ve not shied away from doing medium-to-hard puzzles, which is one of my favorite features in the game. We don’t have to be afraid that we need to completely dumb it down because someone gets stuck, which is a prickly problem in many ways.”This allows players to decide when they want a hint while also giving MachineGames the leeway to create more challenging puzzles. It serves more than just a hint system, though. It also exists to promote exploration and discovery, which design director Jens Andersson points out: “You get adventure points…
Four years after its reveal, we still don’t have a confirmed Ark 2 release date although developer Studio Wildcard maintains that the survival game is still set to launch in “late 2024.” With only a few months left of the year we’re desperately seeking more clarity there, but thankfully there’s still plenty of info out there for you to learn about Ark 2. As the sequel to one of the best survival games, Ark 2 is set to expand massively on the foundations of its predecessor. We know that Vin Diesel is on board as an executive producer and set to play a leading role in the Ark 2 story (the Fast & Furious actor is reportedly a big fan of Ark: Survival Evolved), and that Studio Wildcard is making big changes to core elements of play – including the addition of “Souls-like melee combat”, with Wildcard CEO Doug Kennedy going so far as to say that Ark 2 will do “something which has never been done” in video games before.It’s exciting times, which is why Ark 2 remains one of our …
Aigis and Metis about to perform an all-out attack in Persona 3 Reload Episode Aigis
Persona 3 Reload’s final DLC is here, with Episode Aigis bringing players back for another trip to Tatsumi Port Island – only this time, we’re controlling the eponymous android Aigis instead of the stylish remake’s silent protagonist. Set after the events of the main game – which I won’t spoil here – this expansion offers new ornate dungeons to explore, challenging bosses, and extra insight into its cast. Sadly, the new offerings feel less like they should be part of their own separate entity, and more like an epilogue that’s stretched out over too many battles. In a year full to bursting point with huge RPGs like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Atlus’ remake of the PS2’s original Persona 3 holds its own against these heavyweights thanks to its heartfelt story, captivating characters and thrilling turn-b…
Wondering how to shoot on a Speeder in Star Wars Outlaws? Combat from your bike is basic at best, so if you’re not sure how it works it’s because you can’t really fire a gun in the normal sense, only use your adrenaline ability to mark targets. It means it’s worth explaining what that actually means and how you can use it to fight back, so here’s how to shoot from a Speeder in Star Wars Outlaws.Shooting on a Speeder in Star Wars Outlaws explained More Star Wars Outlaws guidesStar Wars Outlaws planets
Star Wars Outlaws factions and reputation
Star Wars Outlaws black barsYou can only shoot from a Speeder in Star Wars Outlaws with the Adrenaline Rush ability, which allows you to mark and fire at multiple targets in one go. There is no other way to shoot while on your speeder so you can’t freely return fire while under attack. The Adrenaline Rush in Star Wars Outlaws charges automatically when you’re in danger, but it speeds up when you do tricks like using the booster or jump (unloc…
Diablo 4 is bringing back the RPG series’ beloved mercenary system in Vessel of Hatred to help you “round out your build.”That comes from Diablo’s general manager Rod Fergusson, who says the team opted to bring the system back – as opposed to Diablo 3’s Auction House – as it’s been part of the franchise in one way or another for the past 21 years “at least.” That, and it was there to be done in a much more “robust way.””The fact is that it’s a companion system that helps you round out your build,” he says to CGM. “One of the things that our game director of the expansion, Brent Gibson, likes to say is that each class has a soft spot.”Fergusson points to the Sorcerer as an example. The Diablo 4 class works well when played with a glass canon build that prizes damage over defense. So why not hire Raheir – a blacksmith with a big shield who can “come in and protect you while you’re pushing enemies and putting in all that damage” – when Vessel of Hatred comes out? “That’s …
Minecraft developer Mojang Studios announced it’s no longer putting its focus on one big annual update. Instead, the team will focus on a number of free updates throughout the year. This announcement comes off the heels of the first Minecraft movie trailer, which was released to a mixed reception. These new game updates are intended to vary in scope and size, but will allegedly release more consistently throughout the year. This also means that Mojang is retiring the mob vote, the infamous player-voted contest for introducing new mobs into Minecraft. So you can unclench your jaw a little bit and relax, as all of the focus in the future won’t revolve around player votes for penguins or armadillos. You know, the important things.The mob vote was always contentious with many players lamenting the mobs that never made the cut. Only one of the three mobs would make it into the game, with many of the losers gone to the void. So pour one out for the Ostrich, Crab, and Moobloom, we hardly…
