It’s the early part of 2019, which means GDC is right around the corner just a few months from now. As such, that also indicates that the GDC Awards are also coming up and as of today, we know which games from the past year have now been nomina

Overall, CD Projekt Red believes that the final stages of the highly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077’s development will «be better than The Witcher ’s finishing period» in terms of crunch. While this all sounds great on paper, Kotaku also highlighted that some crunch may still exist within the studio following this shift and that the development of Cyberpunk 2077 hasn’t gone as smoothly as the general public may perceive it. One anonymous former CD Projekt Red developer even told Kotaku that «I’ve felt that there are hundreds of parallels that could be drawn between the story of the rocky development of Anthem and the story of the rocky and even-more-rocky-to-become development of Cyberpunk 20

A physical edition of the catalogue included Nintendo’s console alongside the Playstation 4 and Xbox One on the list of compatible gaming machines, and fans seem to think this may indicate an upcoming announcement on the part of either Nintendo or Rockstar. There may be some credibility to these claims; Walmart Canada infamously let slip that Bethesda’s Rage 2 and Gearbox Software’s Borderlands 3 were forthcoming well in advance of their official announcements, and this could be yet another example of a retailer jumping the

While crunch may not completely dissipate, hopefully CD Projekt Red does stick to its word and end Cyberpunk 2077’s development with a period that’s light on stress like Marcin Iwiński is suggesting: «I think this is the commitment we’re ready to make today, and we’ll be listening to people. We definitely open a lot of lines of dialogue here, and we’d like to start with th

Once again this year, Double Fine’s Tim Schafer has also been announced host the show. Additionally, former Naughty Dog director Amy Hennig is planned to be honored with GDC’s Lifetime Achievement award for her past work and contributions to the indus

Several things pop up in this comparison photo — you can see that Arthur’s jacket is more illuminated and has far less shadow on the right-most image that has is taken with Update 1.06. Shadows under the bar are less prevalent and the general lighting is all around brighter.

Last December, roughly 2 months after the game’s release, Pinkerton Consulting & Investigations sent a cease and desist letter to Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar’s parent company. In the letter, Pinkerton accused Take-Two of profiting off of their name and demanded undisclosed royalties for the company’s inclusion in Red Dead Redemption 2 missions|https://reddeadwildland.com/ Dead Redemption

GDC 2019 will take place in San Francisco from March 18 through the 22nd. The GDC Awards specifically will happen on March 20 at 6:30 PM. If you’re at the conference and have a GDC pass, you can attend the show yours

I’m sure to the surprise of few, Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2 is leading the pack this year with the open-world sim earning 7 different category nominations. Following closely behind is a pair of Sony first-party titles in God of War and Marvel’s Spider-Man each of which received 6 nominations each. All three of these aforementioned games are also nominated for the highly-coveted Game of the Year award, with Celeste and Return of the Obra Dinn rounding out the categ

There’s a good chance you will need to blow these images up to notice the difference, especially if you are a newcomer to ambient occlusion. Put simply, ambient occlusion is a game rendering realistic lighting based on the actual geometry in the room — if a lighting source would be blocked, we wouldn’t expect to see every inch of nooks and crannies. For a visual demonstration, you can take a look at this (thanks to website GamingScan ):

In fact, some eagle-eyed users were able to spot the visual discrepancies then. User RolfStarGames on the GTA Forums captured the below images doing a thorough investigation between the original build and captures post Update 1.03. You can check those images in the following gallery:

Unfortunately, Target has since corrected their Red Dead Redemption 2 listing on their website to state that it would only be available for the PS4 and Xbox One. This likely means that any mention of the Switch alongside Rockstar’s game was a simple error, though it’s worth noting that other titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V were correctly listed in the magaz

Since publishing the story, there have been a few occasional developments. Update 1.07 has rolled out overnight, however it appears to just fix matchmaking in Red Dead Redemption Online. Though Rockstar hasn’t confirmed whether the speculation is true yet, there has been a community groundswell to take comparison photos of the game — either in temps to support or debunk the ambient occlusion issue.
