After rapidly declaring that they were looking into action the other day, Helldivers 2 developers Arrowhead have released a hotfix aiming to rectify some of the crashing that's affected players diving Into the Unjust.
Unlike the giant worms I've still seen hide nor mandible of, it didn't take the studio long to address reports of an uptick in technical issues for the shooter following the update's arrival on Tuesday. Here's hoping that these fixes'll help keep thing a bit more stable.
Roblox will roll out selfie-based "facial age estimation technology" as a mandatory requirement for all of its players, as part of efforts to "limit communications" between minors and adults they don't know.
The corporation behind the massive game filled with smaller games, many of which are made by young people, say they aim to bring in this measure by the end of 2025. The news is part of a "long-term" vision for child safety in the wake of the US state of Louisiana's lawsuit against Roblox Corporation over child safety concerns, with Louisiana attorney general Liz Murrill accusing the game of being a "overrun with harmful content and child predators".
It’s never too late to get mad about the untimely fate of Human Head Studios’ Prey 2. It helps that people keep leaking videos of the thing. The latest batch includes an opening sequence, a full mission playthrough from an open world, a flythrough of an undercity area, a prototype chase sequence, and scenes of combat. Watch the bulk of them below, and grieve. Alas for Killian Samuels, the beanie-wearing US marshal turned alien bounty-hunter. He looked so humdrum back in 2012, especially when compared to the original 2006 game’s Cherokee protagonist Domasi "Tommy" Tawodi. Still, he has a certain tragic charisma, in hindsight.
Right, where in the name of disposable infantry were you? Yes, I'm talking to you, Helldivers 2 hive lords, added into the shooter as part of yesterday's Into the Unjust update with what looks like nary a patch note peep from Arrowhead. Why didn't you unleash your big worminess on me when I dropped onto some Terminid hive worlds last night?
You missed out. I'm an easy target. Dressed head to toe in bright yellow Helldiver armour, because it's always best to be highly visible on the battlefield. Armed with the trigger finger prowess of a sleeping librarian. Sometimes alone because no one's answered my SOS beacon yet. I was right fugging there>.
I’ll say this for Valor Mortis, One More Level’s first-person, sabre-swishing soulslike wherein Napoleon Bonaparte’s men mysteriously become abominations of melted undead meat: the Ghostrunner devs are probably the team for the job. While that series is all about cyberpunk katanas and zippy wallrunning, its punishing, trial-and-error combat should resonate with anyone who spends most of their time respawning at campfires. I’ll also> say this for Valor Mortis: I’ve played it, and would like to play more.
