Undertale creator reveals next game in playable… thing

“FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, YOU ARE ADVISED TO REFRAIN FROM DISCUSSION OF THE PROGRAM FOR 24 HOURS,” Undertale creator Toby Fox says about his mysterious new… thing. I wouldn’t want to broadcast hazardous information willy-nilly, so I’ll refrain from that and simply say that the new thing seems to be named Deltarune and Fox wants you to download and run a… thing. It’s a survey, he says. For those willing to take their lives in their hands and read dangerous information, I’ll explain more.

EA announce Project Atlas, a futuristic dev platform powered by AI and cloud computing

If I turned to Ken Moss, chief technology officer at Electronic Arts, and asked him if one day his tech will let me upload my conscious into a digital utopia – I bet he’d look me square in the eyes and tell me yes. In an official EA blog post announcing Project Atlas, he mentions practically everything else.

Project Atlas will be a game development platform powered by cloud computing and futuristic AI. Moss hopes that devs will use it to create hyper-personalised “living, breathing worlds that constantly evolve”, where your chats with NPCs are “virtually indecipherable from a human interaction”. Presuming all this actually works.

Halloween 2018 Special: how Creatures taught me I am not cut out to be a father

Alice Bee told me we were doing a day of adorable, heart-warming video game escapades. She charged me with the care of some artificial lifeforms: ensuring they were nourished, cherished and ready to flourish. I intended to teach my Creatures how to live the good life.

Monster Hunter: World unleashes Kulve Taroth on PC this weekend

One of the megabig monsters only seen in Monster Hunter: World events on consoles so far will make her PC debut this weekend, bringing the fleeting opportunity to hack the elder dragon Kulve Taroth into pieces then forge her golden scales and horns into weapons and armour. A patch hit MHW yesterday to lay the groundwork for the event, and it’ll all kick off at midnight on Friday. It’ll be a tough battle, but the rewards are certainly shiny. You don’t want to turn up to monster prom wrapped in rotting guts while the other hunters are clad in golden plate and horns, do you?

Fallout 76 Perk Cards: all the perk cards, how to upgrade them

Since Fallout 76 isn’t your regular Fallout game, it doesn’t seem right that it should just be the same as Fallout 4 but online. One big change that Bethesda is implementing is how perks work, namely with the brand new Perk Cards. You’ll obtain one with every level up from a selection, which you can then equip to your character for additional benefits. This guide will have more on exactly how to obtain them or Perk Card packs, what you need to do to upgrade them, and a full list of all the Perk Cards and their subsequent effects by rank that we know so far.

Fallout 76 Power Armour locations: where to find them

Power armour in Fallout is normally reserved for the Brotherhood of Steel, being their uniform of sorts and either a sign of hope or despair, depending on which side of America they’re in. In Fallout 76, the Power Armour is still where it was when the atom bomb dropped, stored away and waiting for those emerging from the vaults to take them. In this guide, I will show you where to find the Power Armour in the game. (more…)

Halloween 2018 Special: Happy Birthday Toby!

Well, it’s the 31st October, and if that means one thing, it means it’s my little boy’s birthday! Toby turns 4 today, so I thought I’d celebrate by putting together all the bizarre times he’s contributed toward RPS.
