In a new interview, development veteran and Sledgehammer Games co-founder Michael Condrey (Dead Space, Call of Duty: WWII) has detailed how a decision on a development partner to handle the PC port of 2002’s 007 Nightfire could have had huge ramifications on the actual existence of the Call of Duty franchise as we know it today. Condrey discussed the matter with writer Cade Onder during the production of a documentary the latter has produced on the making of 2011’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Back around the early 2000s, Condrey spent eight years working at EA on a number of James Bond games – as a producer on The World Is Not Enough, Agent Under Fire, and Nightfire, and later in a development director role on Everything or Nothing and From Russia With Love. “GoldenEye sits on this pedestal, as you know, right?” Condrey began. “Arguably one of the greatest, most transcendent shooters on console. And so we were working on the sequel to that, The World Is Not Enough, and from th...

One of the major criticisms of Crimson Desert I’ve seen since launch is that it does not let you create your own character. Instead, you’re locked into playing as Kliff, who himself has been criticized for a lack of personality, and two other even less fleshed out playable characters. Well, now, like so many other things with Pearl Abyss’ open world action adventure, there’s a mod for that. The simply titled Character Creator - Female mod , from Khione95, lets you build your own character by using the barber function in the game. It includes 98 face presets and 159 hair styles. A male version of the mod should be out soon. With this mod installed, you’re able to play Crimson Desert as a custom female character using the female human preset. Most armors have been adjusted to fit the female body, and planned features include more customization options, more customizable races (orc and goblin are in the works), and a full suite of female animations. This can be used in combination...

A dataminer has uncovered what they believe is a pivotal but unused cutscene hidden in Elden Ring's files — and it could shed new light on the game's lore. Lance McDonald, a content creator and dataminer famed for his behind-the-scenes work on the likes of P.T. , Bloodborne , and Elden Ring, has discovered a secret scene thought to have been cut from the final version of the game. Warning! Spoilers for Elden Ring follow: "This is a look at a never-before-seen map file where a cutscene was filmed for Elden Ring, which showed Miquella planting the Haligtree, as well as the process through which, during earlier development and testing, this cutscene was intended to have been played," McDonald explained in the video description. "Finally, the similarly never-before-seen cutscene itself is shown." McDonald believes that not only has he discovered a cutscene showing Miquella planting a Haligtree, but he thinks he has the matching "unused lines of sp...

Plants vs Zombies 3 has been soft launched yet again in certain countries around the world, as part of the troubled threequel's latest attempt to take root. This is at least the third time that developer PopCap has attempted to release a game titled Plants vs Zombies 3 — with this latest iteration focused on new gameplay that allows players to merge different plant species. It also arrives with a shiny new subtitle: Plants vs Zombies 3: Evolved. Today, Evolved is now available to download on iPhone and Android devices in Ireland and the Philippines, before a wider rollout beginning in the UK and Singapore over the next couple of months. Plants vs Zombies 3: Evolved is the product of a decade of development, with work beginning back in 2016 on ideas for a third major PvZ game . That work resulted in multiple false starts, as developers initially flirted with the introduction of 3D graphics and various other gameplay changes that were later scrapped. After an initial version ...

Space simulator Kerbal Space Program has seen a resurgence as players celebrate the launch of the world's first manned mission to the Moon, Artemis II, in decades. The Artemis II crew are heading home after travelling further from Earth than anyone before, with a splashdown back on Earth scheduled for April 10. This mission is a giant step toward a return to the moon and future missions to Mars, and it also marks the first time humanity has flown to the Moon in over 50 years. It has also seemingly reignited our fascination with space, with thousands of players jumping into the 11-year-old simulator game, Kerbal Space Program. While it usually bobs around on a very respectable 3-4,000 peak concurrent players on Steam, since Artemis II's launch, SteamDB has recorded an unusually high concurrent peak of 11,390 players in the last 24 hours. While that doesn't quite match its launch record — that sits at 19,149 players — it's impressive nonetheless, particularly coup...
