It’s no secret thatStardew Valleyis the responsibility of a small developer. Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone was busy trying to get the hotly anticipated1.6 update out for PC, which finally went live in March. Since then, they’ve been promising patches for the console and mobile ports of the game, though they haven’t emerged yet. Patience is very much appreciated from Barone, and a recent post on Twitter/X is keeping us in the loop onStardew Valley1....

I have nothing against ads. They’re the source of keeping your favorite things alive. What I don’t get is why would anyone in their right mind want to share ads in the way Microsoft is trying to push with their newINNOVATIVEidea here for the Kinect. Seriously? I just don’t even know. At least the ads aren’t on rails. F.E.A.R 3’smanual is amazing, Max wears an ass thing on the latest Dtoid Show, Prototype gets a Facebook game … well, there wasn’t a whole lot of interesting news today....

Sadly, it’s not a full on remake THQ Nordic’s recent announcement thatRed Factionwasremovedfrom Germany’s index of “damaging” games now makes a lot more sense. According to the European ratings groupPEGI, the 2001 original will be releasing on PS4 via Sony’s PS2 Classics line. The update will come with 1080p upscaling, Trophies, and Remote Play support. While I’m all for preserving the past, I don’t know that the first game represents the best that the series could be....

The actress Bo Bragason will be playing Zelda, while the character Link will be played by Benjamin Ainsworth.

‘The original intent was to create a PS5 version of Final Fantasy VII Remake and not to produce downloadable content’ It’s still hard to believe thatFinal Fantasy VII Remakehas an upgrade…DLC…thing. It’s…kind of weird to me! To see a modern re-release of an oldFinal Fantasygame get a story extension, but the series is known for DLC now; that’s just the way it is.Well, thanks to a new Famitsu interview, we’ve learned that it wasn’t necessarily the intent for this to happen, and it may not happen again for the foreseeable future....

Thanks, Korea We aren’t getting a newAssassin’s Creedthis year (save for twoChroniclesgames and a movie), but we might be getting some oldAssassin’s Creedsometime soon. Well, it’snewoldAssassin’s Creed. Remasters. Remasters is what I’m trying to say. It sure looks like Ubisoft is remasteringAssassin’s Creed II,Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, andAssassin’s Creed: Revelations— the Ezio trilogy — for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. That news comes via anotherratings board leak, this time in South Korea....

Including all 330 points of interest Where should you drop inCall of Duty: Warzone? Heck if I know! The game just launched this morning. We’re still in that frantic period where the meta is malleable and folks are figuring out the hot spots. The game’s gigantic map, Verdansk, is a lot to take in. It’s tough to get a lay of the land as a newWarzoneplayer when you want to go one way and your squadmates have entirely different plans, to say nothing of the crews taking pot-shots while you argue about inaction....

Right in time for the first free DLC There’s a lot of pleasant fuss surroundingTitanfall 2. In a season of very good shooters, it might be the best shooter. It’s great that Respawn seems to have found the right tweaks to the formula to keep this from falling flat like the originalTitanfalldid; it’s not so great that, reportedly,Titanfall 2isn’t selling very well. Since this is a full, unrestricted look at multiplayer, the trial will also includeTitanfall 2‘s first DLC....

YOU CAN’T CUT BACK ON FUNDING! YOU WILL REGRET THIS! I’ve always held a fascination with city planning and architecture. My mom still has the drawings of imaginary cities I would make on the back of paper placemats in restaurants and for a brief moment when I was a kid, I wanted to become an architect. I ultimately chose a morechaoticfield of study but part of me still loves the order and planning of building a city....
