And as an aside - you should not doubt how fucking uncool D&D was in 1998 as a game, and how poisoned that particular well had been for a while. Baldur's Gate turned that around, and if you do want a road from D&D then to D&D now, it does strike me that Bioware's needs more credit than they get.

Can confirm that this is a real trailer of the Mass Effect game that BioWare was developing up until its closure yesterday www.reddit.com/r/masseffect...

Noe av det første som nevnes i den ferske biografien om Nobuo Uematsu er opptredenen på Retromessa i Sandefjord i 2024. Sakset fra Nobuo Uematsu: On the Record:

Big new story! The best 8,000 words you'll read on Vib-Ribbon today.

this analysis of Big Walk, through the lens of "men don't talk to each other anymore" and the cultural norms that have led us to where we are with that, is so lovely and i think will resonate with a lot of you

Today we have something special: a newly translated interview from July 1996 between Shigeru Miyamoto and Kenji Eno! Conducted just weeks after the launch of Mario 64, Eno takes Miyamoto to task (in a friendly way) with several fascinating critiques of its design. shmuplations.com/miyamotoxeno/

Browsers on video game consoles have long been a majorly underdocumented topic. That changes today with my latest article, which I can confidently say is the most comprehensive game console browser coverage on the entire web. I'd love for you to give it a read: vale.rocks/posts/game-c...

for the best part of this year, I've been speaking to former Maxis developers to put together this: a near-6000 word oral history of Spore 🦠 www.designroom.site/spore-an-ora...

Salad Fingers. Charlie the Unicorn. Badger Badger Badger Badger. All Your Base Are Belong to Us. You're The Man Now, Dog. O RLY? Numa Numa. Leeroy Jenkins. They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard. This is Sparta. It's over 9000. Rickroll. The Cake is a lie. Chocolate Rain Don't LIE to me I was THERE

Games criticism owes so much to Garrett Martin. Quietly one of the most influential people in the space, a guy who was happy to publish anyone that had something interesting to say. A shame AV Club is shuttering its games coverage. End of an era, long live Paste Games

Man, ANOTHER thing Hideo Kojima predicted with scary accuracy

Falsk autentisitet har alltid vært til salgs. Det er bare mer utydelig nå enn det var før. Jeg tror ikke vi som samfunn helt har skjønt i hvor stor grad vi både påvirkes og overbevises av patostunge skreddersydde "meninger" og trender i det daglige. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...

DAWN CHORUS -- demo out now! an interactive fiction story about two losers trying to make music and stay friends as the world is ending around them. after years of secrecy/procrastination i am proud to reveal the demo for my esoteric pre-apocalypse story :) PLAY → haraiva.itch.io/dawn-chorus-...

lets all take a moment to appreciate just how stacked 1998 was and also laugh at the backloggd userbase for somehow putting the sonic r pc port above games like soul calibur and baldur's gate in popularity

On February 10th, 1988, Enix released Dragon Quest III. Chaos ensued. While this particular moment in time has been subject to pervasive rumors and myths, I translate three articles from the archives of the Asahi Shimbun which cut to the heart of the matter. Thread and links below.

I en æra av tumle-rundt-og-leke-med-fysikk-spill (og post høybudsjetts-VR-bølgen), er det kanskje ikke så rart at vi ser tegn til åndelige oppfølgere til Dark Messiah of Might & Magic. Men det er velkomment. Alkahest ser ut som et slikt spill. youtu.be/iN_ZjJStLIE?...

Brockhampton summer was kinda like Gen Z end of history

Sworcery turns 15 today, and we've got a big new feature looking back for the anniversary.

This is the best product review I’ve read: samhenri.gold/blog/2026031... It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in the MacBook Neo or not; this is the kind of essay that makes you think about the potential of technology and the joys of exploration.

Savner du Thief-spillene? I så fall: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOg8... Lite tvil om inspirasjonskilden, men Project Shadowglass ser jo helt konge ut.

as a jrpg fan, my primary interests in video games are raising and lowering sewer gates, such as to manipulate the water level

I want a game that's basically Red Dead Redemption from the perspective of the horse. A horse simulator where by sheer coincidence you're owned by a series of gruff bearded men on ill-defined quests for vengeance, a different one each chapter. Gruff bearded men come and go, but Horse is eternal.

NEW: Inside the failure of Highguard, which flopped so badly that developer Wildlight laid off most of its staff just two weeks after release. Here's the story behind why people loved working at Wildlight, why Tencent pulled funding, and how it all fell apart: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

By showing glimpses of distant regions, skyboxes can encourage players to dream beyond a game's borders. Such is the case in Final Fantasy 7, which Eteo founder @shedworksgreg.bsky.social unpacks in this week's Archetypes article. www.eteogames.com/the-rotting-...

BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned. A shocking end for a well-respected studio.
