Forget fancy Staffs that let you bring Hogwarts to Taxman's cruel realm for the R.E.P.O. Cosmetics Upgrade has added one thing in particular that I was looking forward to since its announcement trailer: DEFIBRO. No longer must you rely on god mode or infinite-wealth-infinite-health mods to get you through tough times. No longer will you need to invite friends with bribes or threaten them with a good time. No, not while Defibro is around. This lil guy will become as important to you as Sam was to Dr. Robert Neville, the Infinity Stones were to Thanos, or Garrus to Commander Shepard. Here is everything you need to know about the talented and sacrificial Defibro in R.E.P.O . R.E.P.O.

Sony released its most recent quarterly earnings report this morning, and while it generally was not very positive, there was at least some good news in it for fans of Bungie's Marathon. The extraction shooter that launched earlier this year has not performed up to anyone's expectations when it comes to sales or players, but the game has been reviewed well by both critics and players alike, so PlayStation is not quite ready to pull the plug on the game. Image via Bungie Sony's chief financial officer Lin Tao said in the earnings call that "earnings from Bungie's title portfolio did not reach our expectations, so we downwardly revised our business plan and impaired the full amount of the fixed assets related to Bungie except for goodwill." Bungie was acquired by Sony in 2022 for $3.7 billion, but this new financial report states a $765 million impairment loss on the purchase, meaning that's how much assumed sale value the studio has lost ...

While the second Cities: Skylines game is slowly recovering following the departure of its creators, the original game is more than thriving due to its incredibly talented and active modding community. Now, that game received a major new fan-made mod called Politics & Elections that does exactly as its name implies. The mod enables your citizens, and may there be many of them in every town you make, to vote in relatively free elections to support parties that eventually merge into coalitions. These coalitions and political powerhouses then force certain policy changes that you'll have to make, with the citizens themselves dynamically reacting to their own circumstances. If you raise taxes too high, don't be surprised if a liberal political movement gains power and makes you reduce it. Polluting the air too much? The people want those green policies enacted ASAP. You get the point. Parties are fully customizable, so you can roleplay to your heart's content o...

Nintendo took to the skies today with a surprise Direct to showcase Star Fox announcements 10 minutes before they aired. The Star Fox Direct began promptly at 5pm CT, shocking everyone watching along with the out-of-nowhere surprise presentation. Earlier this year, leaks suggested a comeback for the long-dormant franchise, and it appears they were correct. Nintendo turned it into a big thing, too, with Miyamoto posting an announcement at 4:50pm CT. https://www.youtube.com/live/ePZeyh5q9R8 Star Fox made his triumphant return to screens last month in the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which now looks a lot like a soft-launch for the series' revival, which is centered around a new Switch 2 game simply called Star Fox , a remake of Star Fox 64. But the excitement quickly changed to bewilderment once the gameplay footage began, showing some disturbingly realistic-looking designs for the characters like Fox, Falco, and Slippy Toad, which makes for a kind of awkward debu...

Assassin's Creed hasn't been doing the best these last few years. With games that failed to live up to the golden standards set by their predecessors, the franchise has entered a sort of limbo where every release tied to it is met with skepticism rather than excitement. A few years ago, while the series was still living off its prime, Ubisoft tried to pivot into moviemaking. The end result wasn't great, nor did the box office see it perform as well as it should, and so that was the end of that story, too. But now, Ubisoft wants to bring Assassin's Creed to the stage. Heredis: Echoes of the Past will see the franchise as a basis of a stage production that, as Rock Paper Shotgun writes , will be marked by "acrobatics, urban parkour, choreographed combat, and physical feats within large-scale immersive visual environments." It's not adapting any game per se, but will rather portray various historical epochs, much as the franchise itself has done ...
