With Borderlands 3 fast approaching, its predecessor is enjoying a resurgence. Recent discounts and free DLC has seen returning and new players hitting Pandora, and if you’re playing through the whole thing, you might want to take a look at Borderlands 2.5. Released last week, it’s a work-in-progress overhaul mod for Borderlands 2, changing characters, gear, enemies and more. Borderlands 2’s art style has been a bulwark against ageing, and with looter shooters now being everywhere, it feels pret

Dr Disrespect is not a favorite character of mine, I’ll admit, but I do respect the impressively faithful rendition that modder “Letmelivegaming” on Nexus Mods put into her Dr Disrespect mod. The Doc replaces Raccoon City police officer Chris Redfield in the Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster. It seems that another modder on the Resident Evil Modding Forum is attempting to supply some needed Doc yells. Yet another modder has used the model by Letmelivegaming and added The Doc to another Resident Evil g

But a GamesIndsutry report on the extension prompted Unknown Worlds Entertainment founder Charlie Cleveland to wade into the fray. Hey @G2A_com – thank you for offering to pay 10x the revenue lost due to our @NS2 game keys sold on your shady platform. That $30,000 in fees was lost on Unknown Worlds’ pre-Subnautica FPS/RTS hybrid Natural Selection 2. As of August 7—a full month later—G2A was apparently still checking the list of keys Wube had provided to verify its claim. I’ve reached out to Unkn

Even though some games still don’t play nice with 21:9 aspect ratios (cough Overwatch cough), ultrawide displays can make both gaming and productivity work much more enjoyable. One of LG’s 21:9 monitors is on sale for $251.99 right now on Amazon, a savings of $128 from the original price and $78 off the usual cost (~$330). The LG 34UM69G-B is a 34-inch display, with an IPS panel and a resolution of 2560 x 1080 (21:9). It doesn’t support high refresh rates, as it maxes out at 75Hz, but it does wo

The planned graphical update for Minecraft, the Super Duper Graphics Pack, has been canceled, says an announcement from Mojang. Originally announced during E3 2017, the Super Duper pack has been in the works for a while but it seems Mojang wasn’t happy with how it performed across different devices. Citing the wide range of platforms Minecraft is available on, Mojang says “Super Duper was an ambitious initiative that brought a new look to Minecraft but, unfortunately, the pack proved too technic

In an interview with the Official Xbox Magazine , Mike Pondsmith, creator of the Cyberpunk 2020 tabletop game, confirms that he’s recorded for a role in the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 based on his RPG. It sounds like Pondsmight might actually not even know much about his role, but like all of us, he’d clearly like to hang out with Keanu. “I actually recorded for one role, but they came up with a different one for me,” Pondsmith says. “I’m figuring what happens is, you know, at some point [Johnny Si

One of our top picks for gaming mice, the SteelSeries Sensei 310, is now just $34.99 from multiple retailers. That’s $15 off the MSRP, and the lowest price we’ve seen yet. The main selling point for the 310 is its ambidextrous design; unlike most gaming mice, this will work equally well for both left and right-handed people. It also has a 12,000 CPI tracking sensor, split-trigger left/right buttons, a lightweight design, and of course, RGB lighting. Like many other gaming mice, every button on t

Tim Willits announced in July that after nearly a quarter-century at id Software, he was moving on to something else. “Being with a studio for 24 years, it’s really hard to leave,” Willits said in an interview with Fortune. pic.twitter.com/rsJ1OsgHkXAugust 12, 2019Interestingly, Willits said that the opportunity to work on non-shooter was a big part of what attracted him to Saber. The games I’ve made in the past, they’re not the easiest games to play, but I’ve learned a lot on how to bring peopl

New MMOs, or even exciting new things happening in old MMOs, are rare in 2019. WoW Classic will give some MMO players what they want: a return to the good old days. Amazon’s upcoming MMO New World promises to be an open-ended sandbox, but will it be able to deliver? Is the ferocious nostalgia truly a result of cynical, generic, less flavorful design in modern MMOs and MMO wannabes? MMO players now are almost obsessed with min-maxing and getting to end game as quickly as possible so the feeling o

(Image credit: Ninja)Update: Emmett Shear, the CEO of Twitch, has apologized to Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins for the appearance of a porn video on the streamer’s offline Twitch page. “However, the lewd content that appeared on the offline channel page grossly violates our terms of service, and we’ve permanently suspended the account in question,” he said on Twitter. Original story:Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins, who recently signed an exclusive streaming deal with Mixer, has said he’s “disgusted” with Twitch fo

Not even a week after DuckTales: Remastered was removed from Steam, Grid 2 has followed it into the memory hole. Grid 2 was given away on the Humble Store in March, and the previous Grid was offered for free before disappearing as well. It’s certainly better than simply having games vanish out of the blue one day, as recently happened to Sega’s spy RPG Alpha Protocol. As is usually the case with Steam’s delisted games, anyone who owned Grid 2 already will be able to download it in perpetuity. Th

Dwarf Fortress is coming to Steam, complete with mod support and a new look. In a recent post on Steam, publisher Kitfox explained why it’s going to be tricky to give people a release window. A Steam launch is also going to introduce Dwarf Fortress to a heap of new people, so there’s more pressure to make sure it’s polished. Kitfox will be holding off announcing a release window until Dwarf Fortress gets closer to beta testing, but it’s “quite far from the finish line”. In the meantime, you can

(Image credit: Michael Todd Games)Electronic Super Joy was a brutal platformer full of electronic music and was, by most accounts, very good indeed: 90% of its 2,500 Steam user reviews are positive. Developer Michael Todd Games has just released a sequel that’s completely free, despite having more levels than the original. Alongside the free version, you can pay $13/£10.30 for a Gold Edition. You may as well try out the free version first and then decide if you want the extra stuff. The early us

Ever since reading Tom’s hands-on with Shortest Trip to Earth, which he described a “tough-as-hell spaceship management simulator…that takes time to truly enjoy”, I’ve been awaiting its release, and developer Interactive Fate this week announced it’s leaving Early Access on Thursday, August 15. You travel from node to node, exploring planets and meeting mysterious factions, all the while upgrading your ship for combat. The trade-off is that you don’t have to start from the beginning every time

Nightdive Studios, who are currently working on a remake of the original System Shock and oversaw the re-release of System Shock 2 in 2013, have just announced they’re also working on an enhanced edition of System Shock 2. As they said on Twitter, “You asked for it and we are working on it”. While the currently available version of System Shock 2 remains one of the classic immersive sims, an influence without which BioShock would not exist and still one of the creepiest games around—that sound d

Gravity is part of Barr’s latest browser game, Chesses, which includes several chess variants. In Gravity, the board is arranged like a normal chess board (rotated 90-degrees), but the pieces fall to the ‘bottom’ when there are no other pieces supporting them. What I like about Gravity is that, rather than just adding complexity to chess, it expresses some common feelings about the game. Gravity chess.” “I think I like playing around with [chess] as a game designer/developer because it’s kind of

Developers have insisted over the years that their games aren’t political, despite them obviously being political in most cases. But Infinity Ward’s Jacob Minkoff and Taylor Kurosaki, respectively the campaign gameplay director and studio narrative director on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, took the art of dubious insistence on apolitical narratives to new heights in a recent interview with Game Informer. Hell yeah, because that is the subject matter of Modern Warfare,” Minkoff explains. It goes
